I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENTHENS ME.

     A. John 5:30 “ I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My Judgment is righteous, because I do no seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent me.” Christ didn’t do anything but what the Father did. He was totally led by the Spirit. We need all the help we can get to follow Him in all of His ways.

     B. Philippians 4:13 I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthen me. Also study John 15:5

     C. 2 Sam. 22:30-31 For by You I can run against a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

FOR US TO DO:  As you can see we must totally rely on the Holy Spirit to lead us in all things dealing with Christ. With Him by our side we will be able to be victorious in all the devil throws your way. We can do it because He already did it for us through His death. Just remember it’s not you who does it but God.

I WILL DO ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT OR IMAGINE.

A. Genesis 28:15 Behold I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.

B. Exodus 6:7 I will take you as My people, and I will be your God, then you shall know that I AM the LORD your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

(Nothing is too hard for God to do)

C. Psalm 5:3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.

D. Psalm 27:8 When you said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “ Your face, LORD, I will seek.”

FOR US TO DO: If you want to do things beyond your comprehension it starts with seeking Him early and late in HIS WORD. When His Word is implanted in you then you can and will expect the Lord to move on your behalf in a mighty way.

I DO WANT ONLY GOOD AND NOT EVIL FOR YOU.

A. Jeremiah 29:11-12 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

B. Psalm 130:5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope.

C. Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

FOR US TO DO:  He will always be our strength when we are weak. He only wants good for us but we have a part in it. We know that without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to god must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6). Proverbs 18:15 says, “The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.” We acquire knowledge from HIS WORD and we listen to that still small voice within us the HOLY SPIRIT.

Jesus says, I CAN  do all things through My strength in you and I WILL equip you to do all I want you to do and I DO want you to succeed in all that you do.

SEE THINGS THROUGH HIS EYES

Don’t look at things in the natural as the world see things,

Look at things in the Spirit with the eyes of God.

We try to find peace in what we think we want,

Through His eyes we have peace already because He loves us without reservation.

Don’t look to people they will only disappoint you,

Through Jesus, He will lead you and guide you through all things.

We always strive to get more than our heart desires,

Through seeking Him we will desire more of who He is.

Don’t look to where you have been in the past,

Through His eyes we have been forgiven and it is forgotten forever.

We are more than a conqueror,

Through seeking Him in His Word, It will set you free.

Don’t try and do it in your strength,

Through Him we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.

We have the mind of Christ,

Through His Word we change the way we look at things.

Don’t look to the right or to the left,

Through His powerful Word working in us we keep our eyes on Jesus.

We want what He wants the more HIS WORD becomes rooted in our hearts,

Through seeking out His hearts desire we find hope and peace and contentment.

Don’t lose hope for He is always there,

Though sometimes we fail His grace is there to pick us up.

We need to have God’s character to become who we are,

Through looking at all that He has done for us, we can be all He wants us to be.
