Paul wrote in Philippians chapter 4:
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
As we encounter all aspects of life, FATHER is interested in bringing us into full Spiritual maturity but it must have a solid foundation of Love. Paul understood this Truth. FATHER will empower us as HE can trust us with power and authority so that we will further HIS Kingdom and not our own agenda. As we align ourselves with HIM HE will supply all our need according to HIS riches and resources.
Unbelief is what restricts the flow and the soulish man would keep us in unbelief in order that the ego would prevail. Jesus was the pattern Son for being able to “do all things” and we must aspire to walk in the same manner. Jesus said in John chapter 14:
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
Until you totally believe these words Jesus spoke you will be challenged to fully believe Paul’s confirming statement above. Greater works includes “I can do all things” because those who are fully aligned with FATHER will do and want only HIS Will and not their own. The Great Commission is FATHER’S specific Will and purpose for Jesus stated only FATHER’S Will.
Are you moving in the direction of doing FATHER’S Will or are you pursuing your own agenda? Are you promoting the Kingdom or are you promoting yourself? Are you financially supporting the Works of Christ or are you hoarding your resources? Works of Christ include ministering salvation, giving to others, helping those in need, healing the sick, and other such activities that expand the purpose of Love.
Paul, when he was Saul, was most interested in propelling himself to notoriety rather than serving mankind. His encounter with Jesus changed all that. He became grateful rather than demanding. His view on life went from being served and exalted to becoming a servant of no reputation. He gave Christ the glory when it came to “doing all things”.
We must trust in Christ which means we are trusting in FATHER. How can you fully trust in someone unless you know their character? As you study and meditate on Jesus’ words and actions you will know the character of FATHER. When you have fully aligned yourself with FATHER, HE will fully respond to you, strengthen you, and empower you to do HIS Will.
