The Christian life is an exchange life. Jesus life for your life, when Christ takes control, your life takes on dimensions you would never have known apart from Him.

·         When we are weak, then Christ demonstrates His strength in your life

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

English Standard Version (ESV)⁹ But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ¹⁰  For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

·         When you face situations that are beyond your comprehension, you have only to ask, and the infinite wisdom of God is available to you.

James 1:5-6

English Standard Version (ESV)⁵  If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

·         When you are faced with humanly impossible situations, God does the impossible.

Luke 18:27

English Standard Version (ESV)²⁷ But he said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

·         When you encounter people whom you find difficult to love, God expresses His unconditional love through you.

1 John 4:7

English Standard Version (ESV)

God Is Love⁷ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

·         When you are at “loss” to what you should pray for someone, the Spirit will guide you in you in your prayer life.

Romans 8:16

English Standard Version (ESV)¹⁶  The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

·         When Christ takes up residence in the life of a believer,

Ephesians 3:19English Standard Version (ESV)¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

is available to that person

It is marvelously freeing to know that God controls our life and knows what it can become. Rather than constantly worrying about what you will face, your great challenge is to continually  release every area of your life to God’s control. The temptation will be to try to do by yourself what only God can do.

Our assignment is to “abide in the vine” and to allow God to do in and through us what only He can do.

John 15:5 English Standard Version (ESV)⁵ I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

Only God can be God.  Allow Him to live out His divine life through you. He is the only ONE WHO CAN.

-       HENRY AND RICHARD BLACKABY (Reality, 7 Truths from Experiencing God)
