Introduction
As we begin this journey of faith, Beyond All Limits, we
invite you to join us in a time of prayer and fasting. It is a
privilege to pray to our heavenly Father with expectancy. In
John 14:13, Jesus said, “And whatever you ask in My name,
that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If
you ask anything in my name, I will do it.”
Although fasting is an almost forgotten practice, this
biblical foundation is an important part of worship
and prayer. Fasting helps us to focus on matters of the
Spirit. The late Dr. Bill Bright, founder of Campus
Crusade of Christ, said, “I believe the power of fasting
as it relates to prayer is the spiritual atomic bomb that
our Lord has given us to destroy the strongholds of
evil and usher in a great revival and spiritual harvest
around the world.”
We are in a season of exponential opportunity to trust
in God, to believe in Him and to hope in Him for
more than we could ever imagine. Recall that when
Nehemiah saw the walls in disrepair, he was compelled
by God to pray and to fast for the restoration of the
city to the glory of God. We pray that God would call
each of us to a deepening of our faith in Him through
prayer and fasting.
We pray that this book will encourage you to
pray Beyond All Limits and to seek God as never
before. We pray that He would enable us to each
do our God-given part — just as Nehemiah and his
colleagues used their God-given gifts to restore
and revive a city and nation.
Our prayer is that as we continue in this spiritual journey Beyond All Limits, we will continue to know that the “effective, fervent prayers of the righteous avail much.” May we be faithful, as in the days of Nehemiah, to pray and fast. May God do through us only that which He can do. May all the glory go to Him, and may all who see the work give praise to our great God.
Thank you for joining us in this journey, and may God richly bless you.
