Jesus had spiritual power. The religious leaders in his day did not have spiritual power. They were limited. Jesus was unlimited.

Jesus demonstrated his power with many signs and wonders. He was able to demonstrate by example how God was willing to help people in their time of need. Jesus showed us the will of God. Jesus showed us what it was like to live without limits.

The Power Of God
He demonstrated there were no financial limits, no physical limits, no emotional limits, and no spiritual limits that could not be overcome by the power of God.

Jesus had power to demonstrate the abundance of God over financial lack. He turned water into wine when the wine ran out at a wedding (John 2:1-11). Jesus blessed a struggling fishing business with so many fish their nets broke (Luke 5:1-11).

Jesus turned the limited resources of a few loaves and fishes into an unlimited supply of food to feed a multitude (Mark 15:15-21). Jesus even found creative ways to satisfy the tax collector. He sent Peter fishing and the first fish he caught had a gold coin in its mouth, which was enough to pay Peter's and His taxes (Matt. 17:24-27).

Jesus demonstrated the provision of God for healing and deliverance. There was no sickness or disease that could prevail over his authority. He healed and delivered sick children from the oppression of the devil (John 4:45-54; Mark 7:24-30; Mark 9:14-29).

Jesus opened blind eyes and healed lame limbs (Matt. 9:27-31; John 9:1-4; Mark 3:1-6; Luke 13:10-17). Jesus raised those who had died before their time on several occasions (Luke 7:11-16; Matt. 9:18-26; John 11:1-45).

Our Example To Follow
Jesus was an example of a man operating by the power of God to overcome all limiting situations. Jesus is the example for us to follow. He came to show us how to live our lives to give glory to God.

Jesus offered real solutions to the needs of people through the power of the Holy Spirit. The religious leaders offered no solutions through their man-made traditions.

Their religion was shallow and powerless. Jesus' religion was deep and powerful, and overcame all the limits of religious traditions. Jesus was a bright light shining in the darkness. Worthless religious traditions are dark and void of any real solutions to life's problems.

Jesus scolded the religious leaders for taking the power out of the Word of God through their worthless traditions.

Making the word of God of none effect through your traditions, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
(Mark 7:13)

Worthless traditions often act as limits in areas where the promises of God are concerned. If God promises something in the Bible, it should never be a question if it is God's will or not. If God promises something, it is available to all who believer. This applies to salvation, healing, prosperity or whatever you need.

If there is a promise in the Bible, and you have faith to believe it applies to you, then you can receive what you need from God.

If you have been acting upon worthless traditions of men, you have limited the power of God in your life. Many people have been taught religiously week after week that God brings sickness and disease, or that God takes babies to heaven because he needs them there to brighten heaven.

People have been taught healing is not for today, the time for miracles has passed, and God does not work the same way he did in the Gospels and in the book of Acts.

Traditions not based upon sound knowledge and understanding of the will of God and the Word of God act as limits in many people's lives. These traditions become limits or boundaries, which prevent people from experiencing the goodness and mercy of God.

These limits must be broken before people can receive all God has for them.
