LIVE WITHOUT LIMITATIONS
By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
Mark 6:52, "For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened."
Rebellion against Godly authority results in a heart that is insensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. This is what it means to have a hardened heart. If you dropped a ball from the second floor of a building unto a mattress there is the likelihood that it will remain on the mattress or within its vicinity . The same cannot be said about a hard surface , the harder the surface, the farther the ball will bounce off and away from it . So it is with a hardened heart, it is non-receptive to God's blessing .To be "hardened" means "to be unyielding, make calloused, cold in spirit, or insensitive to." . It is a stranger to the dynamics of the Spirit . It is typical of those who practice religion ;they are insensitive to the feelings of others.
This was the state of the disciples who had gotten all too familiar with Jesus and taught they knew Him well enough from their carnal evaluations .Therefore , when they saw Him walk on water , it became too much to process, they were, "sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered" at how possible it was for anyone to walk on water.

It is possible to believe in God and yet be hardened because of being accustomed to the physical world with its limitation . This was why the disciples were
overwhelmed to see Jesus override the laws of physical science. It was simply unacceptable. They had forgotten the past miracles
they had witnessed .They saw
Him feed the five thousand and also the four thousand
They had become callous and irresponsible. That is the attitude behind the saying "whatever will be will be " . We have a role to play in the dispensation of God's grace and should not treat matters bothering on faith with levity. We should give it the seriousness or devotion it deserves. God wants to do greater works through us. There are new discoveries to be made by the church for the benefit of humanity.
We tend to be more sensitive to fear and doubt than we are to the truths of God's Word. This is because our parents raised us up on fear teaching us more things that build up fear and doubt than faith in God.. God would rather have us harden our our hearts to doubt by considering only God's Word. Through constant meditation on God's word we can be as sensitive to God and faith . As you receive Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour and read this now , receive grace to walk in the supernatural in Jesus name.
