I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)
Most of us realize that God is able to do anything. The issue is… do you really believe you can do all things through Christ? It’s easy to believe that God can do great things. It’s a different story to be able to confidently say, “I can do anything!” Now, I realize that the end of that verse is “through Christ who strengthens me,” but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s you doing it!
Do you see the difference? God works through mankind on this planet. He strengthens you so you can do all things!
Nothing is holding you back. Don’t buy into any of the excuses that pop into your mind. Decide, “I will not stay in my current situation!” Get a fight going on inside you and refuse to settle!
You aren’t expected to do it through your own strength, but you can do it! You can build a great career. You can solve that relationship problem. You can change the way you think.
You can get healthy and can make the funds you need to finance your kids’ dreams. You can raise up the next generation and be part of a thriving church that is reaching people. You can create a wonderful, romantic marriage with your best friend. You can love, laugh and enjoy life!
You need to believe it deep down. You see, it’s not about what you say you believe. It’s also not about believing that God can do it. The issue is… do you believe that God will do it for you?
As you begin to believe that God’s promises are yours, they will become your new idea of normal… and you’ll be well on your way to experiencing God’s best.
