Held Back?

 Joseph is a fruitful bough,
 A fruitful bough by a well;
           His branches
        run over the wall.
           Genesis 49:22


Have you felt limited, hindered, or held back by walls of limitation?
Are you frustrated from being blocked and shut down at every angle?
Have you prayed for the walls to come down? The barriers to be removed?

Though it is true some walls are meant to crumble others are left to conquer.

This word from Genesis 49:22 says, yes, there are walls, but they will not hold you back! You can grow over the walls of limitation. You can outgrow your walls of restriction and breakthrough the barriers. These walls don’t need to come down because the Lord is aiming to take you up and over! 

 Take this to heart- if you are willing God is able, to enable you to outgrow every wall that has tried to surround and imprison your life. In the process He is using those barriers to cause your roots to grow deep and your faith to grow strong so that you can go higher than your greatest limitation. What you see as a restriction (the walls) God sees as opportunity!

                                   The archers have bitterly grieved him,
                                                Shot at him and hated him.
                                       But his bow remained in strength,
                             And the arms of his hands were made strong
                                By the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob
                                                           Genesis 49:24

Despite apparent walls that currently surround your life, you are going to prevail and be very fruitful! The hand of your Mighty God  will  ensure it!
