Your words are powerful

Philippians 4:6-13

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

10I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Proverbs 18:21

21The tongue has the power of life and death,

and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Galatians 6:14

14May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

I am able because my relationship to LORD Jesus Christ, He will supply all I need, whatever necessary. My relationship with Him makes it possible for me to say whatever I am challenged to do, whatever required of Me I will do it, I will succeed, because I have GOD’s enabling power to help me.

Whatever His will for our life those are the ones He able me to accomplish, that’s the only thing we have rights. ‘All things’ that falls under the will, purpose and plan of our Heavenly Father for our lives.

When you are saved you became the child of GOD, you became a brand new person in Christ, with brand new Spirit and life. We have responsibility, our will is His will. He calls us to do it, if GOD called you to do something He enables you, He empowers us, He directs us, He strengthens us to accomplish His will for us. There is a relationship I can do through Christ who strengthens us. Our adequacy is in Him. GOD will never call you to do something He will fail you in. He will enable you to do it.

13I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

< On the basis of His position in Christ. He is in the family. He is a child of GOD, that’s what it means, you have a sonship/daughtership with GOD.

< On the basis of his relationship with Him. His right perception of who Christ is. Christ is enabling me, empowering me to do what GOD wants you to do.

< On the basis of the promises that GOD has made.

  • Only if I know He knows me, understands me and He is with Me. LORD says I will never leave you or forsake you. We live in the presence of the Holy Spirit, in the presence of GOD. He is living inside of us. Inside of child of GOD the infinite power of Holy Spirit is dwelling, ready to release any moment whatever we need to do, GOD’s plan or will for our lives whatever that might be.
  • His power. When the spirit of GOD comes upon you, His divine energy, the power living inside of us every day. Spirit of GOD enabling us every single moment, when we get in difficulties that we need to know answers, what to do, which way to go, what kind of decision to make He is there.
  • During trials and temptations He will set limits to what I will face and will enable me to face victoriously and triumphantly no matter what.

Matthew 6:33

33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Say Heavenly Father I am trusting you, you said I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, I am trusting you to show me your will, I am trusting you to energise me and empower me to do what you would like me to do.

You need to affirm the truth of the gospel. Say I am a saint living by the saving grace of GOD.

Saints are dwelt by the Holy Spirit, sealed by Almighty GOD through the redemptive work at Calvary until the day of redemption, eternally secured in Him, who has been set apart by GOD, to live for GOD.

We are the privilege children of GOD, have an intimate personal relationship with LORD Jesus Christ who is the supreme ruler of the universe and He has committed Himself to meet our needs and guiding our lives, making us the person He wants us to be and enabling us through His power of Holy Spirit. Your life will be limitless, exiting and adventurous, because GOD is in control of your life.

Proverb 21:23.

23Those who guard their mouths and their tongues

keep themselves from calamity.

Remain firm in your faith and obey what GOD says.
