“I Can” is a positive affirmation. Reject all negatives. Accept positives.

To become confident Christians, we must abandon the the “I can’ts” and begin thinking and saying, “I can” accomplish for God -as Paul did.

“do all things” ()
The apostle didn’t say “ I can do some things” or “ I can do a few things.” He said “ I can do all things.”

Paul’s secret for success was ‘through Christ.” His accomplishments were performed through the power and the might of God, not through his own strength.
We also must recognize that our accomplishments come through Christ. We must act totally in the will and power of God lest we fail.
Be a confident Christian. Step out in faith. You will be amazed at what you can do “through Christ.”
The Power
“which strengthens me” ()
The apostle Paul’s sufficiency was not found in himself. He recognized Christ as the source of his strength.
Of ourselves we are nothing,. But if we act in the faith, assured that Christ is working through us, we need not fail, for He cannot fail.
God’s word admonishes , being fruitful in every good work…strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power…(). You can be a confident Christian.
