The "Can Do" is a physical strength that God gives. It is a commitment to be faithful to what He has placed before us. It is a mindset that it will be accomplished and that God's work will be done God's way through God's means. The Apostle Paul had to experience the message of "Can Do" before he could become the messenger of "Can Do". In Acts 14 during his first missionary journey he is stoned by the Jews in Derbe who hated the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. He was left for dead.

 

The Bible tells us that he got up from that pile of rocks and the next day entered into the city and preached!! This is "Can Do...". In order to deliver this message through your life God will have you experience many "Can Do" moments. The messenger must be the message! "Through Christ" is the confidence of the Christian. It was Paul's confidence. The Scripture tells us in II Cor. 12, that Paul had a thorn in the flesh. The enemy, Satan, was allowed of God to bring a hardship into Paul's life. Since God was not going to deliver this from his life Paul knew through Christ he could face it and be victorious in it.


Let's emphasize this together in 2010 - "Can Do" Commitment "through Christ" Confidence!
