Boundless!

With God it’s always now. He’s not subject to time. He exists in eternity where it’s perpetually now. We’re “in time” but He’s beyond time. And because He’s beyond the bounds of time He can go anywhere in time.

Someone described it like this. He’s like a like a hub in the center of a wheel and the spokes are like time. From the hub, which is the realm of the spirit, He can look down any spoke into any age. He can also go to, or work in, any time - past, present or future. He is beyond the bounds of time.

Isa 57:15
15 For thus says the High and Lofty One
Who inhabits eternity,
NKJV

Eccl 3:11-12
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
NIV

He who “inhabits eternity” has also “set eternity in the hearts of men.” So when one believes in his heart, faith connects with eternity. That’s why “now” is the only time to believe. Because in the realm you’re believing “in” and receiving from it’s always NOW. Now is the only time you can receive because with God it’s always now. Everything He’s ever done He’s always done “now.” He can see all ages but He works in the now.

So what does this mean to us? Because we are spirit we are not entirely subject to time. Our bodies are in time but our spirits are in eternity. And through the realm of eternity it’s possible to supersede time and also bring things out of eternity into time. We are one with Him who is infinite and unlimited!

1 Cor 6:17
17 But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
NIV

1 Cor 6:17
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
KJV

17 [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him,

18 By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),

19 And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength,

20 Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places],

21 Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.

22 And He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church [a headship exercised throughout the church], [Ps 8:6.]

16 May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality].

17 May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love,

18 That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it];

19 [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!

20 Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams] —

21 To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it).
