Strength For All Things

I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency]. Philippians 4:13

We have strength for poverty, as well as for riches. Through Christ’s sufficiency we can handle both. Through Christ we can be strong in sickness, as well as in health. Jesus has made us ready for anything. He empowers us to believe and accept all of our Father’s Truth. Jesus infuses us with His very Own strength to insure that we do. Notice that we are not just given strength, we are given the exact same strength that our Father has. We are able to love all, just in the same power of agape love that our Father loves all, those who hate us and even those who love us. There is not on thing in this world or one situation that may arise in this world that we are not just as strong as Jesus is. We are this glorious, because it is Jesus in us giving us the strength to be glorious, John 17:22.

We are more than conquerors through Christ, Romans 8:37. Jesus is greater in us, than anything that is in this world and we can do all things because the power of Christ is in us, 1 John 4:4. When I am used to talk about being strong in this world, there are many who say to me this: “yeah, He was able to do that because He was Jesus though.” No, Jesus was able to do whatever He did, because it was the power of our Father within Him, John 14:10.

This is the Truth, we have become one with Jesus and we are now as He is, even though we are in this world, 1 John 4:17. You may think I am crazy, but that is exactly what our Father had written. You may think, but we are not being used in power and demonstration of the Spirit like Jesus was used. But the Truth is, we are. We are all being used by our Father to do exactly what He wants done. I used to say the same thing until the Holy Spirit told me this: Jesus was 30 when He was empowered to act in power and demonstration of the Spirit. Did that mean that He was not being used by our Father before hand? Just because our Father does not have us raise the dead or heal the sick does not mean that we are not being used and that we do not possess the full strength of our Lord and Savior, we do. It just means that each of us is used differently, yet all of us are used exactly how our Father wants to use us.
