Can the value of Limiting friction be achieved?

My teacher states that if we apply an external force just equal to the value of limiting friction, then the body will start moving. But if the external force is just equal to the maximum frictional force will not the net force on the body be zero? Can I conclude from this that the value of limiting friction can never be achieved?
