I CAN

Monday Morning Inspirational Blast "I CAN" not through my power, might nor strength! But according to Philippians 4:13. Just to note this letter by Paul is known as "The Epistle of Joy and Peace" that was written from prison to the Philippians' church. As believers we are the church and should represent Christ wherever we go. Probably amazing to many that Paul writes about having joy and peace while behind bars or lock-up. Most of us are not bound like Paul. Yet our minds maybe bound with troubles or we seems to be in bondage due to life and world conditions. Paul is telling us we/I CAN (making it personal) have joy beyond and above our situations." Therefore Blast focusing on the I CAN recipe or blueprint for the mind to stay focus on Christ producing joy and peace way above and beyond our circumstances. A must read.

Welcome to #YourDestiny, #Your Best Monday Morning Inspirational Blast “I CAN do all things through Christ which strengthens me” Philippians 4:13. Our Blast Summary already quoted Paul “A mind stayed on Christ produces joy and peace that is above and beyond our circumstances. We shall dive right into the recipe or formula of having a “Stayed mind on Christ to receive joy and peace beyond our circumstances.

“Partaking of the “Peace of Christ Philippians 4:13 Theme.” The Commands of “Peace 4:1-2. Stand fast in the LORD as the dearly beloved of the LORD” goes back to last week, Unmoveable. Psalm 1:3 “Steadfast like that tree planted by the rivers of water that shall not be moved.” That tree receives its nourishments from the rivers of water. This tree is rooted,  grounded and unmoveable. In Jesus—we receive His rivers of water giving us the life of peace. Our peace is like the quiet streams of Jesus’ living water giving us rest in the times of trouble.

Verse 2 “Be of one mind in the LORD” speaks to the body of Christ, as well as 1 Peter 3:8 “Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous. Believers are part of God’s family, called to be like Christ. Our one like minds in Christ should spill over into Christ like actions in our relationships with others. Now we glorify and please God with what we say and do. We pray and thank our God for allowing us to live in harmony with one another. Sustaining “I CAN do all things through Christ which strengthens me.”

Ultimately one mind is the intent and purpose in the body of Christ.  John 17: 21 Jesus said, “That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me.”  Now Jesus the Most High Priestly Prayer. Jesus prayed, John 17:22 “I have given them the glory that You gave Me, that they may be one as We are One. I in them and You in Me, so that they may be brought to complete unity.”

Finally the purpose of Christian unity is vs. 23 “I in them, and thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.” “I CAN” and we are partakers in the joy and peace of Christ. In our weakness we are reminded of our one like mind in Christ like You-Father and Jesus-the Son. Then we are reminded of  and thanks for Your new and better Covenant "Hebrews 8:10" Amen!!!
