This is the final reflection (Day 40) from my book FEAR-PROOF…
He who knows the darkness shall learn to live in the light. ~Anonymous
If you haven’t figured it out, the devil will use every fear-based method imaginable to separate us from the light (God) and the rewards of living in the light.
I mentioned in my opening reflection that one of the devil’s favorite four letter words is “can’t.” He loves to capture us in his fear-based world of “can’t.”
But when we try our best to walk with God, amazing things CAN happen and over the last 40 days I believe I could summarize God’s faith-based CAN’S into these 10 simple thoughts:
- We CAN love even when we don’t want to love.
- We CAN forgive others and ourselves, when the world tells us not to.
- We CAN give when we don’t feel as though we have anything to give.
- We CAN open our eyes, ears, hands, minds and hearts after years of being closed.
- We CAN have peace when the world around us is in turmoil.
- We CAN break free from our dependence upon people, places and things for our happiness.
- We CAN break the bondage from an addiction or a past life-event that has held us hostage for years.
- We CAN look physical and mental illness right in the eyes and trust God has our back, no matter the outcome.
- We CAN finally see God in a tragedy that once held us captive in hell.
- We CAN find ourselves living in a world of opportunities, solutions and fortunes instead of problems, turmoil and poverty. A life with freedom, infinite possibilities and no end.
We begin to say “can do” because, “I know I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:13).
He has risen so you CAN rise and have life; a new life where the Spirit of God, through the death and resurrection of Jesus, lives in you.
We need to experience death and resurrection on a daily basis as we die to self and the fear-based world of “can’t,” and rise with God into the faith-based world of CAN…and say good-bye to fear (devil) and hello to faith (God) one day at a time.
It’s a much better place to live…I write from experience.
John 11:25, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.”
