God Says “Yes You Can”
God Says “Yes You Can”
“Not” is used to express the negative - “Can” means you are able to, you have the ability, skills and power to, also, you have the right and permission to!
How many of you can truly say that you are free?
No worry
No doubt
No complaints
No stress
No fear - Just free because those things that use to worry me, cause me to doubt and complain, stress me out; has profit me nothing; therefore I have learn to cast the “Can Not” off of me because they caused me to be weighed down, depressed, sunken and dejected!
Well it is time for you to cast that stuff off of you and Let God Carry Your Can Not!
You’ve tried to do it your way for how long now? How is that working out for you?
Our Father never intended for you to be weighed down with “The Can’t” - You do what you can and let God do what you can’t ~ Bishop Hezekiah Pressely!
Acts 18:9-10 (NKJV) 9 Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city."
God literally told Moses to go and I will speak for you - He said tell them I Am That I Am - Enough Said!
We have many stressors in our lives that we allow to weigh us down - Keeping you from taking off (Airplane shifts the weight)
I am learning now that the weight of “Can Not” is too much for me to bear, so I have learn to alleviate the weight by allowing God to carry those things that bring negatives to my abilities and power!
“Peter said; Cast ALL your cares. . .” Everything you love needs to be in The Hand Of The Lord - Everything that concerns you; Psalm 138:8 (NKJV) 8 The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
God did not send His Only Begotten Son for us to be weary and weighed down - He sent His Son as a substitute for your weights!
Why carry that - when God has lifted it up off of me?
John 12:32 “32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.””
Because Jesus was lifted Up - The very thing you carry that is weighing you down, was lifted as well!
You don’t have to carry The “Not” because with God, He says “Yes You Can” “All Things Are Possible, If you Believe. . .”
We love to quote the popular texts, but we are still carrying “Not” weight that we said we cast upon God!
No more thinking that because it is “Not” happening for me now, it will not happen - The devil is a liar - Because God is for me, who or what can stop me!
I understand what David meant when he said; “I have been young, now I am old, I have never seen the righteous forsaken or His seed begging for bread. . .” David says that he let go of the “Not” weight, because he has seen God deliver too much to not believe that He won’t continue!
I am telling you what Thus Says The Lord - What a man thinks in his heart, so is he - If you do not allow your thinking to be steadfast on God’s Promises, then you will remain grounded when He has cleared you for take off!
Hebrews 12:1-2 “1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
You have to examine the weight of those thoughts that you are allowing to take flight with you - If those “Not-s” want to fly with you, then they either will need to subject themselves to the “Can” or they will have to get off the flight because I have seen too much of God’s Glory revealed to allow negatives to ground me!
I cannot allow those “Not-s” to keep me from taking flight - Paul said, when he was in Corinth, trying to speak to his own people and they rebuked him because he testified Jesus Is The Christ! The Anointed One! -
Acts 18:6 (NKJV) 6 But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."
You have to do the same to the “Cannot” in your thinking - My rule is this, can’t literally is telling me that you chose not - Can’t is not even a word, it is a contraction, two words placed together, and when you put “Not” with anything, it will decrease it to nothing - “Not a thing” -
Don’t = Do not
Won’t = Will not
We have too much evidence of God’s Glory being revealed to allow the “Not” to be in our vernacular - Remember I talked about the Linguistic Relativity Hypothesis, which states that your language determines how you perceive a thing!
Do not allow (there are times you need to use the “Not”, remember, “All things work together for the good”) the appearance of the circumstances to negatively affect your focus, or allow it to bind you up so much that you do not take flight as scheduled!
God has predestined you for higher heights and deeper depths - He has already gone before you and cleared the runway for take off!
I know that you have been given much, and it seems like the weight of purpose will not allow for take off, but when you have The Holy Spirit as your Air Traffic Controller - He will guide you into all truths and clear the path to your destination!
Jesus told Paul in a vision - You do not have to worry (two negatives always turn into a positive) because I have purposed you for this, so do not be afraid, I have People in that next!
As a matter of fact, as stated in Acts 18: 12-16 “12 When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat, 13 saying, “This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.” 14 And when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes, O Jews, there would be reason why I should bear with you. 15 But if it is a question of words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; for I do not want to be a judge of such matters.” 16 And he drove them from the judgment seat.”
Paul did not even have to say anything and he was set free!
In this next season you will not have to exert that much energy to let the world know who you are and Whose You Are!
God is going to make room for you because you have humbled yourself under His Mighty Hand - And have realize that I will only carry what God has ordained for me to carry - All the things that I care about, I must allow God to have those because it may cause you flight to shift, making unplanned emergency landings due to negative cargo on board!
Unload that thinking which causes you to not Praise God from Whom all blessings flow - Release yourself from the “Can Not” and stop allowing it to get on floors that it does not have access to!
