I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me

I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
(KJV)

I realized, once I was born again, that I became the recipient of this
promise. There was no stopping me. This one line of the bible is so profound
and so powerful. It does not state that I "might" be able, but it clearly
states that I "can" do all things if I go through Christ who strengthens me.
When we pray to the Father, we go through Jesus and his shed blood in order
to do so. So many of us take this privilege for granted. Those that are not
saved by giving their lives to Christ, can talk to God all day long and God
hears nothing. It sounds cruel doesn't it? But when Adam and Eve broke their
covenant with God in the garden of Eden, they broke that covenant for all
mankind for all time. God said that he would no longer have fellowship with
man and cast man out of the garden. (Genesis 3:17) But God also immediately
developed the blood sacrifice of animals in order for early man to regain
his contact with God. God also knew that man's carnal nature would never
change. He, out of love of His creation , performed the ultimate sacrifice
of His only Son, Jesus Christ. It is only by the blood sacrifice of God's
only Son, that we are free to communicate with our Father once again. Christ
strengthening us does not mean that he gives us some kind of spiritual
steroid shot, but what it does mean is that he empowers us to go to our
Father. And Jesus said that if we ask anything of the Father through Him, it
would be given unto us. (John 15:16, John 16:23, Matthew 7:11)) Of course
God's wisdom regarding what we need verses what we sometimes want will come
into play here. Remember, sometimes the answer will be no. But if you keep
your eyes and ears and spirit open, the explanation of your answer will be
made clear in God's time. Be glad that God is faithful to his own word. Be
thankful for God's perfect integrity. Without it the universe itself would
die. All we have to do is accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, confess our
sins and we once again have total access to the Father. Through Jesus, we
have it all and can do all things. Once we receive Christ, it is God's
PLEASURE to give us what we ask for. Go to Jesus today with prayer and
supplication and get the strength you need to face your day with confidence.
