Twenty "Cans" from the Bible

 (adapted from Neil Anderson's "Freedom in Christ Discipleship Course")

  1. Why should I say I can't when the Bible says I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13)?
  2. Why should I lack when I know that God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19)?
  3. Why should I fear when the bible says God has not given me a spirit of fear, but one of power, love and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7)?
  4. Why should I lack faith to fulfil my calling knowing that God has allotted to me a measure of faith (Romans 12:3)?
  5. Why should I be weak when the Bible says that the Lord is the strength of my life and that I will display strength and take action because I know God (Ps. 27:1; Daniel 11:32)?
  6. Why should I allow Satan supremacy over my life when He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world (1John 4:4)?
  7. Why should I accept defeat when the Bible says that God always leads me in triumph (2Corinthians 2:14)?
  8. Why should I lack wisdom when Christ became wisdom to me from God and God gives wisdom to me generously when I ask Him for it (1Cor. 1:30; James 1:5)?
  9. Why should I be depressed when I can recall to mind God's loving kindness, compassion, and faithfulness and have hope (Lamentations 3:21-23)?
  10. Why should I worry and fret when I can cast all my anxiety on Christ who cares for me (1Peter 5:7)?
  11. Why should I ever be in bondage knowing that , where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2Cor. 3:17; Gal. 5:1)?
  12. Why should I feel condemned when the bible says I am not condemned because I am in Christ (Romans 8:1)?
  13. Why should I feel alone when Jesus said He is with me always and He will never leave me nor forsake me (Matthew 28:29; Hebrews 13:5)?
  14. Why should I feel accursed or that I am the victim of bad luck when the Bible says that Christ redeemed me from the curse of the law that I might receive His Spirit (Gal. 3:13, 14)?
  15. Why should I be discontented when I, like Paul, can learn to be content in all my circumstances (Philippians 4:11)?
  16. Why should I feel worthless when Christ became sin on my behalf that I might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Cor. 5:21)?
  17. Why should I have a persecution complex knowing that nobody can be against me when God is for me (Romans 8:31)?
  18. Why should I be confused when God is the author of peace and He gives me knowledge through His indwelling Spirit (1Corinthians 14:33; 1Corinthians 2:12)?
  19. Why should I feel like a failure when I am a conqueror in all things through Christ (Romans 8:37)?
  20. Why should I let the pressures of life bother me when I can take courage knowing that Jesus has overcome the world and its tribulations (John 16:33)?
