The Prayer of Jabez...LIVING BEYOND THE LIMITS LIVING BEYOND THE LIMITS When was the last time God worked through you in such a way that you knew beyond doubt that god had done it? In fact, when was the last time you saw miracles happen on a regular basis in your life? If you’re like most believers I’ve met, you wouldn’t know how to ask for that kind of experience, or even if you should. What I have to share with you has been opening up lives to God’s mighty working for many years. Recently, I was in Dallas to teach on the Jabez blessing to an audience of 9,000. Later over lunch, a man said to me, “Bruce, I heard you preach the message of Jabez fifteen years ago, and I haven’t stopped praying it. The change was overwhelming I have just never stopped.” Across the table, another friend agreed. He said he’d been praying Jabez’s little prayer for ten years with similar results. The man next to him, a heart surgeon from Indianapolis, said he had been praying it for five. I told them, “Friends, I’ve been praying Jabez for more than half of life.” Because your reading this book, I believe you share my desire to reach for a life that will be “more honorable” for god. Not that you wish others to reach for less, but for you, nothing but god’s fullest blessing will do. When you stand before Him to give your accounting, your deepest longing is to hear, “Well done!” God really does have unclaimed blessings waiting for you, my friend. I know it sounds impossible–even embarrassingly suspicious in our self-serving day. Yet that very exchange–your want for God’s plenty–has been His loving will for your life from eternity past. And with a handful of core commitments on your part, you can proceed from this day forward with the confidence and expectation that your heavenly Father will bring it to pass for you. Think of this way; Instead of standing near the river, edge, asking for a cup of water to get you through each day; you’ll do something unthinkable–you will take the little prayer with the giant prize and jump into the river! At that moment, you will begin to let the loving currents of God’s grace and power carry you along. God’s great plan for you will surround you and sweep you forward into the profoundly important and satisfying life He has waiting. If that is what you want, keep reading.
