"I need to slow down and accept my limitations now."
How it sounds in your head: I can't do what I used to do. I should be realistic. Maybe it's time to stop pushing so hard. I don't want to hurt myself or have a heart attack trying to prove something.
"Let the weak say, 'I am strong.'"
-- Joel 3:10Enemy/world: Culture preaches shrinking with age instead of supernatural strength.
Recovery takes longer. You feel it the next day when you overdo it. Doctors warn you to 'take it easy.' Friends your age are limiting themselves—some have died pushing too hard.
At 85, Caleb declared 'I am as strong today as I was at 40—for war, for going out and coming in.' He didn't accept limitations; he took the mountain with the giants still on it and conquered it immediately.
I REFUSE the lie that I must shrink. IT IS WRITTEN: Let the weak say I am strong. IT IS WRITTEN: Those who wait on the Lord RENEW their strength like the eagle. I am Abraham's seed—the BARAK blessing means I am the head, not the tail. Caleb took mountains at 85. Moses had undimmed eyes at 120. The same Spirit that raised Christ dwells in me. I am RENEWED day by day.
The Father isn't telling you to shrink back. He's the one who told an 85-year-old to take a mountain full of giants. He's running toward you with renewed strength, wanting to show you what HIS power looks like in your body.
