There are no boundaries or limitations upon God. His thoughts are not your thoughts.
His ways are not your ways. So therefore how would you know what or what not God
would or would not do unless He told you? Did God tell you all this you have said?

There are no limitations upon God - I agree. His thoughts are not our thoughts except by way of the spirit now, we are availed His truths to be understood as He gives them, keeping in mind what He has willed man to be and do in regards to Himself and mankind: Hence, Spirit discerning spirit is alive in us as a means to that end now.. His ways need not be limited to have, the life of Christ, be afforded to us, to live as Jesus lived that life on earth; in a right relationship to God pleasing God. Therefore God can will anything He wants to become our will as He shares it thru our spirit into our hearts, as we use our brains according to His will (secondarily, to the spirits discernments) to purpose a willful obedience by way of our spirit-led soul placed in obligation to God lived out thru obedience thru our bodies.

We cannot passively let spirit lead us, and expect God to magically work in us, for this is not biblical, and is what satan wants. To think for us and do things for us. Satan wants us to be passive. We must test the spirits, in a non-passive guarding of our minds and heart, allowing God to reign in our lives as He does His workings in and hence thru us influentially, all the while we are there in the mix doing it in obedience and thoughtfulness and empowerment..

Think about; How do you live? And how does your will affect how God lives in you? Thru you? For you? In distinction to your personality and soul? There are many things here in each of those considerations...yes?!!

Walking in the Spirit

Put on the new self
Put to death the old self
Loving everyone you come into contact with
Reading the word and having Christs words abide in your heart
Praying in everything you do
Rejoicing in the glory of Gods grace and gift of life to us
Doing the good works God gave us to do


That, however, is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.


25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 “In your anger do not sin”[d]: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold. 28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.


29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Eph 4:20-32

Since I do not put any limitations or boundaries upon God
I do not conclude anything about God, unless He specifies it to me.
