You Can’t but You Can…

“…I can do everything God asks me to with the help of Christ who gives me the strength and power.”
Phil 4:13TLB

The key to power is purpose. You can’t just do everything or whatever you want but you can do anything the Lord asks you to and even if it’s beyond your own ability. That’s the power of Christ in you to do what you can’t do. It’s His super is added to your natural making you supernatural and extraordinary. When you pray you get the plan and are empowered to fulfill His purpose and then His provision manifests “as you go”. But there is no provision provided by providence for anything that’s not His purpose. And if you’re out of His plan and doing “your own thing” why would God provide for that? It’s not His deal and until you get back on track you’ll experience lack. So what He will do is help you, not help you do whatever you want to, but help you get back on His track so He can shine through and bless you and the people around you too.

1 Peter 4:10-11
As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
NKJV

Heb 10:5-7
5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:

"Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
7 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come —
In the volume of the book it is written of Me —
To do Your will, O God.'"
NKJV

Luke 11:2
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
NKJV
