Thought Fasting lessons

My Mom is sending me "fasting of thoughts" study.
It is a 40 day program.
I will be sharing with everyone.

Today's thought that we are fasting from is simply: "I can't..."

There are so many things that we think we CAN'T do.

I can't change. I can't believe that. I can't go on. I can't make it. I can't forgive. I can't recover. I can't get it done. I can't find a job. I can't find a spouse. I can't go back to college. I can't pay the bills. I can't figure this out...and the list could go on and on.

Believe me, this MENTALITY and ATTITUDE, sets us up to fail, to quit, and to live a negative existence. It is a poisonous thought that we must no longer eat or drink of.

From TODAY ON...we're replacing this thought with: "I can".

Philippians 4:13 says: I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHICH STRENGTHENS ME.

There's a saying that goes: "if you think you CAN or you think you CAN'T, you're right." Either way, you're right, because as a man thinks, so is he (Proverbs 23:7).

The Spirit of God lives in you. You CAN do what HE CAN do in you. 1 John 4:17 "As He is, so are we in this world."


Think it: "I can"


Say it: "I can".


Meditate on Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me!"


Give up the thought that there is anything you CAN'T do. GET IT OUT OF YOUR VOCABULARY. Stop yourself every time you feel like saying it OR correct yourself if you do say it.
Got it?

Oh, how much power we give one little word/thought.

Can.
WILL.

For me, it's comes down to the 'will or won't'....cuz I certainly CAN.
