You Can Do Nothing Without Me
Do not be troubled or afraid, for I have your best interests at heart.
I know of (and have foreseen) the difficulties the enemy has caused
you. Know this: If it was easy, I would deprive you of the victory
that is coming your way. If I had made it easy, you would not
appreciate My mercy and grace. If a battle is fought and won without
effort, it will not have a lasting effect on your life.
Know this: Without Me you can do nothing! That is the whole point,
that I have been trying to get through to you. No matter how serious
or terrible a situation may seem to you. I have seen the answer from
the beginning of time. Nothing is too hard for Me. In fact nothing is
difficult for Me at all.
What is difficult is for you to realize how easily I can solve the
problem that lays before you.
Give up on yourself, give on using your own strength and follow Me.
Your victory is assured. Your victory is coming. In fact your victory
is guaranteed by Me...right this moment...right this second.
Make it easy on yourself, and just rest in My arms. Trust Me to work
everything out for your good. We have won all the battles in the past
and we will win this one also. It is your mind set that prevents you,
from seeing how much, I love you and how powerful I truly am.
Ask Me to transform you by the renewing of your mind. That is your
problem--that is something that only I can do. I had to see what the
Father was doing. It is no different for you. But I require that you
truly know that you need it before I will perform it. In that way, I
will receive the glory and you will know that it was a work from My
hand.
Be humble in your own sight, and do not let others puff you up with
pride. Remember that you can do nothing without Me. So honestly, how
much pride can you have by doing nothing? None! Resist the temptation
of pride, knowing that the enemy will always try to bring you down by
inflating your abilities and efforts in your own mind regarding
everything that I accomplish through you.
How much more clearly can I tell you? I can do all things and you can
do nothing without Me. So ask Me to renew your mind. Ask Me to show you
how much you truly need it. Then rest, seek My face, and allow Me to
finish the good work that I have begun in you.
