man has this centuries-old habit of taking everything God says and making it pass through the lame filter of what is humanly possible. it’s probably accurate to say that about one-third of the New Testament has been safely watered down from its original literal meaning (by human philosophy). for instance, God tells us over and over and over that we can have anything we ask from him. yet almost all the teaching you can find today tells you why shouldn’t expect that to be literal. people don’t realize they’re choosing to avoid disappointment at the cost of entering and inheriting the promise.

even so, all it takes is one person who dares to take God naively at his promises and not back down for anything >>
