“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Philippians 4:13
Under the old covenant of law, man works for God. That’s why the law states very clearly, “You shall not…you shall not…you shall…you shall…” (Exodus 20:3–17). The focus is on you working. Under grace, God works. That’s why, in reference to the new covenant, God said, “I will…I will…I will…” (Hebrews 8:8–12). You rest in His “I wills” as He works in you, through you and for you.
Today, the question is, how do we rest in His “I wills” on a practical basis and see the Lord doing what He wants to do in our lives?
My friend, it’s simple. Let’s suppose that you have an important sales presentation to make and your boss expects you to clinch the deal. Instead of worrying, bring Jesus into the picture. See Him giving the presentation. See Him clinching the deal. Just tell Him, “Jesus, this is Your assignment. This is Your project.” Involve Him and allow Him to work in you, through you and for you. The more you rest in Him, the less the stress and the greater the success you’ll have.
Beloved, the more you let go, trust in Jesus and rest in Him, the more you’ll find that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. He will strengthen you and work mightily in you to give you good success!

Recently found you–er, was lead to hear you…am ready to REALLY Believe Rightly. He’s cleansed me, in these last 23 years, of many things through “..the washing of the water of the Word.” But what I hear of Him through you is SCRUBBING me cleaner still by coming to a NEW understanding of His Grace. He’s RE-creating me “..a new creation..” by revealing more of Himself in my ‘Believer’, changing my ‘Thinker’, which is changing my ‘Sayer’—which is redirecting my ‘Doer’. The only thing left is my ‘Feeler’, which has 66 years of “false feelings” due to false believing, thinking, saying and doing. How I yearn for the Truth of “..I will satisfy you with Honey from out of the rock..” God bless you little brother in Christ.
Hello Benjamin generation, please help me with something, I’m meditating on the word of God, and the verse I’m meditating on is 2Corinthians 8:9, I’m believing God for a major financial break through for me and my community. Ever since I’ve started with this verse, the enemy’s been trying to tell me the verse is not assuring anything. But I know the word of God is assurance. The enemy’s been saying, look at the verse… vs9″For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that your through His poverty might become rich”. The enemy is using the word “might”(saying its not assurance of all believers), so I need for anyone who can help me with a biblical explanation that what Jesus did for us at the cross, is an assurance to all believers that they will become rich?
Hello brother in Christ Jesus,
To answer your question, yes. Because all what Jesus became at the cross, the opposite shall happen to us. Rich not only in finance but in every aspect in life. I was meditating on this verse and the Lord reminded me, that He became poor, physically, financially and in every way. It was a choice He made so that we can receive freely all what He has paid for. The word ‘might’ is your choice to believe to what degree of the price Jesus, paid at the cross. May you grow in grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ ! The Lord Jesus bless you
I am happy blessed through your messages, I was having the problem of watching pornography though I was happy with this act. Since I started reading your posts online, it has drastically reduced. Please pray along with me to be totally free from this act so that, I can enjoy a sweeter relationship with my Saviour Jesus Christ. Thanks for all you are doing in this end time generation and may the Almighty God continue to replenish and enlarge your ministry Amen.
