My God.

"There's nothing My God cannot do."  Let's be real honest with ourselves, do we believe that?  Without any sliver of doubt, without any reservation, without any hesitation - do we believe that?

I think first we need to address the pronoun in this statement.  It's a bold statement, no doubt about it, but it's a statement that takes complete ownership.  My is a possessive pronoun that signifies something we possess.  In fact, Webster's Dictionary defines my: "of or relating to me or myself especially as possessor, agent, object of an action, or familiar person."  So, by saying my what we're actually saying is that God, to us, is Someone we possess (inside), Someone who is familiar (regular conversations with), and Someone we can relate to (He lived like we live).  Before delving into this profound pronoun, my, and the connection to who God is and if we really believe this statement that we so freely use, it's denoting that we focus on the latter part first.

"... God cannot do."  My pastor always asked the same question when the bible mentioned, everything or everyone.  Pastor would ask, "what's left after everything or everyone?"  Per usual, our response in unison was, "nothing."  Well, in the same sense what is implied if there's nothing God cannot do?  It's simple.  God can do all things (Matthew 19:26).  All things, let it resonate.  God can heal you.  God can make you whole.  God can bless you in your finances, in your marriage, in your relationships, and He can give you favor.  He is a God who gives exceedingly abundantly above which we are able to ask or think to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3).  I'm partial though.  The truth of the matter is this: we don't seek, or should I say, we shouldn't seek God for what we can get from Him.  Rather, we should seek God for who He IS (Matthew 6:33).

By the way, who is He?  Now, let's go back to the dissection of my.  To preface, we know Philippians 4:13 all too well.  However, let's search for a deeper revelation.  God show us something deep here.  The New King James Version says it this way, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." There's that absolute word again! All!  Pause.  God can do all things, but now why does it say I... isn't I human?  And who is Christ?  He's the Messiah! He's Jesus!  Tye Tribbett's new releasing album is entitled, "Greater Than."  So, 1 Corinthians 6:19 tells us, "... know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own."  And, 1 John 4 tells us that "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world."  On our own humanly accord, we cannot do all things.  But if we have God in us, than we can do all things.  How?  Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you.  Not by any works of our own, besides seeking the kingdom of God.  Here's the connection, our God who can do all things, who lives in us, called the Holy Ghost, is JESUS.  By the Faith in Jesus, and with the power of His Spirit living in us, we can do all things!  Connect it back up to my now.  My is Someone we possess (inside - Holy Ghost), Someone who is familiar (regular conversations with - we pray to One God - Jesus), and Someone we can relate to (He lived like we live - Jesus on earth).  This Someone, singular, is whom Isaiah 9:6 informs us of this with prophetic words.  Here's Isaiah: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, the everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."  Isn't it amazing that the name above all names, where every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, is Jesus Christ?  Absolutely.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that if we truly believe you live in us and gave us your power than surely we can do all things through you, LORD.  God, than surely we can believe and say, "there's nothing my God cannot do."  In Jesus' name I pray.  Amen.
