There’s nothing more liberating than God’s truth. We believe so many lies. We think we’ll never accomplish anything for the kingdom, or that we’ll never rise out of poverty, or that we can’t share or faith well.
But GOD says that you CAN do all things through His strength and power. Not ours, but HIS! The God that created the universe lives inside you. This means that we bear within us the ability and likeness of God!
Here’s a few reminders… (truth that will defeat the lies)
John 15:7
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.
Matthew 7:7
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Ok… when God said that. He MEANT it! If you ask, he’ll give it to you. It’s that simple. The packaging and the timing may not be what you expect. But he will always give you what you need!
Jack, thank you for this reminder. It is so easy to forget sometimes that we have everything in Christ that we need. I mean, we need to ask of Him. Example: my wife and I are really just getting out to minister our music. Sometimes I wonder what I will say in-between songs. Well, this past Sunday I was a guest at a local church body to lead praise and worship. I prayed well before-hand and then with a pastor there before service. I thank God that He gave me the words to say in-between songs by His Holy Spirit. Whenever I depend on my own mind and my own words…well, it doesn’t measure up to what God would have me to say. I don’t have a problem singing our songs, it’s the in-between stuff I struggle with. Ask, seek, knock…God will answer.
Thanks, Jack,
