Shattering the Limitations of Pain

Identity Restoration for a Life of More Like Jabez

By: Dale L. Mast

Narrated by: Scotty Kwas

Jabez came to a point in his life where he chose to make a break from his past identity to change his future. He was not a total failure, nor a total success. He knew greater blessings were available if he could break through the pain. Pain deforms our identity and steals our resolve to live a dream of more. Pain can be instructive to learning as well as corrective to undesirable behavior, but it also confiscates honor from the core of our identity that is essential for living a purposeful destiny. When our dreams encounter pain, unbelief mocks us, our future, and our faith.

This book is not about building character through correct responses to painful events, but rather how to shatter the limitations pain has created within our identity. Jabez was not willing to endure living under the pain that had plundered his identity from birth. He had a vision of his future that he reached by request with five strategic truths. He needed his “me” to be blessed by Father God. He knew Father God would give him more. Do we? Jabez would not remain silent. Will we?

Never looking at the prayer of Jabez the same way…

I am amazed by Dales insight and wisdom into the scriptures. He truly has revelation from the Lord. Shattering the Limitations of pain is an incredible read, it will challenge you, encourage you and you’ll want to listen to it again, There are so many incredible insights into the prayer of Jabez and overcoming pain. Overcoming pain is essential to growing in life and this book will help you tremendously.

Pain as an invitation for more

The book is both timely and insightful, helping me explore some lingering issues in my speech patterns that I had not recognized as invitations from God for personal growth. It serves as both a decree and a prayer, using the narrative of Jabez and his prayer to encourage us to expand our territory and invite the Holy Spirit to live an abundant life in Christ, regardless of our circumstances. As we grow in our identity, which shifts with the seasons in Christ, we find that we can have a greater impact on the challenges around us. This book has acted as a catalyst and has confirmed my decision to take a leap of faith. I would highly recommend it, as it is definitely a valuable tool.
