(Phil. 4:13)
You are unbeatable in Christ. There is nothing that God wants you to do that you cannot accomplish. It is through the strength of Jesus that you can meet any challenge.
Fear cannot stay when you realize that you can do all things through Christ. You don’t have to be tormented anymore when you realize the source of your strength.
Paul could make this bold statement because Christ lived in him. Jesus lives in you as well, so you can say exactly the same thing. Your victory is not because of your education or ability; it’s because Christ lives in you.
It is the truth of God’s Word that sets you free. (John 8:32.) Acknowledge that Christ is in you and living His life through you. Say this boldly every day: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
When you realize who you are in Christ and what you can do through Him, you will never again be stopped from beginning a new Spirit-led project. In the past, you may have hesitated because you didn’t know how to begin or what to expect. The unknown brought fear and ultimately paralyzed your expansion and growth. But now you can do all things through Christ.
If someone is in need of counseling, or your church needs a Sunday school teacher, or an unsaved family member needs an intercessor, you can do the job. Never again say the words, “I can’t.” Christ’s ability resides in you, and you can do anything!
