And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. – Numbers 13:30
One of the strong clarion calls of Scripture is 4 simple words:
You can do this.
God’s intention for creating mankind was for the people He created to have dominion and be in charge of God’s creation.
He wants you, a person made in His image, to experience the joy of being like Him and taking care of what He entrusted to you.
That’s what Jesus came to restore us to.
Religion, on the other hand, focuses on emphasising how inadequate and powerless you are.
Because as long as you see yourself as weak, helpless and lacking…then you will fall prey to the Religious “Middle Man tactics” for keeping you dependent on them.
But that’s not God’s heart.
He created you to live an abundant life powered by a direct connection to Him through Jesus.
You can do this.
You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength.
The Holy Spirit is your Helper in everything you do, everywhere you go.
You can do this.
So…go do it.
