I Can’t

There are so many things people think they CANNOT do. Everyday they are tormented by thoughts which say: “I can’t change,” “I can’t believe,” “I can’t go on,” “I can’t make it,” “I can’t forgive,” “I can’t recover,” “I can’t accomplish my goals,” “I can’t find a job,” “I can’t find a spouse,” “I can’t go back to college,” “I can’t pay my bills,” “I  can’t figure out my life,” and the list goes on. This mentality and attitude sets you up to fail, to quit, and to live a negative, defeated existence. It is a poisonous thought of which you must no longer eat or drink.

Today, we are fasting from the thought, “I can’t …,” and replacing it with, I CAN…” Philippians 4:13 says, “I CAN DO ALL THINGS though Him [Christ] which strengthens me.”

Henry Ford, one of the innovators of our history, made this famous statement: “Think you can or think you can’t. Either way you will be right!” What does this mean? It sounds a lot like Proverbs 23:7, “As a man thinks, so is he,” (paraphrased).

Remember this: the Spirit of God lives on the inside of you! This is an incredible truth because it means you CAN do what He CAN do in you and through you. 1 John 4:17 says, As He is, so also are we in this world.”

CHANGE IT TODAY!

1.   Remember the little engine that could! Over fifty years ago, the book called, The Little Engine That Could, spoke to a generation of children: “I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. AND IT DID!

2.   Say it: “I can!” by simply saying this continually, your life will take the turn you desire.

3.   Fill your mind with God’s Word: Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, (NKJV).

4.   Get the words “I can’t…” OUT of your vocabulary today. Stop yourself every time you feel like saying it and let the new thought “I can,” come out of your mouth. The more YOUR ears hear YOUR voice say this, the easier it becomes to believe it.

THINK IT and SAY IT

·         I declare I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me.

·         I eliminate “can’t” from my vocabulary

·         I can do anything God’s Word says I can do.

·         I submit my thinking to the Word of God and my whole life is changing today.

POWER THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Today is the first day of an incredible journey. My life will never be the same for me!
