I Am, I Can, I Will!
Deut 2:1-3 KJ
1. Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.
2. And the LORD spake unto me, saying,
3. Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
You see the Lord was referring to the children of Israel, they had been wondering in the desert for 40 yrs on the way to the promise land.
And what He was saying to them was, I have something better for you, aren’t you getting tired of the same old thing yet!
Haven’t you been walking around this wilderness long enough,
Don’t you want experience the change in scenery that I have in store for you,
the promised land that’s been waiting for you all this time.
You’ve circled this mountain long enough turn you northward.
Can you imagine, wondering around in circles, in the desert for 40 years.
As hard as it is to have imagined that happening, it really did happen,
You see, they never sought the change, that was necessary for them to experience all that God had in store for them.
Instead of I am, I can, I will, it was more like I’m not, I cant, I won’t.
Sad thing is, there are still people today, just like the children of Israel were,
Reluctant to make a change in the course of their lives, to experience all of the blessings God has in store for them,
Blessings so close, that they could throw a stone and hit them!
Like a strong pot of coffee brewing, they could smell it, but not taste it.
The word of the Lord said: you’ve been in this place long enough.
God said it then, and it still holds true today, its time to change your circumstances!
You can you know, because Gods word says it’s possible.
Its time to set a new course, a new plan of action, its time to realize that a change is gonna do you good!
does anybody need a victory today, in their;
*finances
*health
*family
*personal life
Jesus is ready to deliver whatever you have need of this morning, because He has already been victorious,
over every situation you have encountered, or will ever encounter
You see, He already took care of it, at the cross. Praise the Lord God Almighty!!
There is nothing, I repeat nothing, that can stand up to what He did, when He died on the cross, for each and every one of us,
Is anybody ready for a change in their life this morning?
Is anybody sick and tired of being sick and tired?
Is anyone ready to take back, what the enemy has been stealing from them for far, far to long???
Is anyone ready to stand up and proclaim, I Am, I Can, I Will??
I Am, ready to make the changes necessary in my life, that the Lord wants me to,
So that I can walk in and enjoy the abundant life and good things, He has promised me.
Jeremiah 29:11-13 HCSB.
11. For I know the plans I have for you" [this is] the LORD’s declaration
"plans for [your] welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12. You will call to Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
13. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Someone might say, Charlie you use that scripture a lot.
I sure do, I love what it says, you see I love talking about Gods plans for all of us, that’s right for all of us, even the ones that don‘t feel worthy of them.
The accuser may tell you, your not worthy of Gods Goodness and blessings,
But that’s not what Gods word has to say about the situation, now is it!
Lets go a little bit farther, it says For I know the plans I have for you
Did you know? Making a plan requires a lot of thought,
especially when your making it for someone else and their benefit and their welfare.
But Gods word doesn’t say plan, it says plans,
That means God has thought long and hard, about multiple ways, using multiple streams of blessings, to provide you with a hope and a future!!!
When God said, He wants you to have the abundant life He has promised, He meant it,
So many aren’t willing to make the change in their way of thinking and just accept it at face value.
God said it, and that’s more than enough reason to believe it can come to pass, in anyone’s life!!
Abundant life, are Gods words, not mans.
Don’t be the one to cheat yourself, out of what God wants to do in your life!
If your not living the abundant life God promises, Don’t blame it on God!
Get out of Gods way and let Him start giving you, all that He has for you!!
I Am, I Can!
TBS. in Phil. 4:13 NKJ
13. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
MSG: Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.
People can do and are capable of a lot of things,
God made a marvelous creation, when he created mankind.
After all TBS.(the bible says) we are created in His image!
Why is it then?, that people are capable of so many different things,
We can put a man on the moon, we can accept and are willing try new inventions and medicines on another mans report.
But when it comes to the things of God and what He wants to do for us,
the word can, suddenly has a T tacked on to the end of it, and becomes can’t with a capital C.
Is anyone who is here this morning, who is tired of being trapped by the word cant?
Jesus, never used the word cant, the word wasn’t part of His vocabulary.
He was a can do type of guy, and we can be the same, because God’s word says we can
We can do all things through Christ, that means everything we do with Jesus involved in the details,
We can accomplish, because the word of God says we can,
Because when we depend on Jesus and His finished work instead of ourselves, that’s when and only when it becomes possible!!
These are truths that have the promise of God behind them, truths that the accuser has stolen for long enough from Gods people, truths that need to be reclaimed!
I Am, I Can and I Will!!!
I will be faithful to the calling that God has called me to, everyone that is a Christian has a job to do.
1st Corn. 12:27-28 NKJ.
27. Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
28. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.
There is so much to be done for the Kingdom of God and so few willing to get involved
Isaiah 6:8 NKJ
8. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send,
And who will go for Us?
Then I said, Here am I! Send me.
God is looking for men and women today, who will stand up and say, I will
I will do whatever needs to be done to further the cause of Christ.
I will be, what Jesus wants me to be, I will go where He wants me to go,
God is looking for someone willing to step out of the box of normalcy,
someone that’s ready for Him to do a new thing in their life.
Is anybody fed up with your present situation, and the way things have been going in your life?
Change It!
You say yes, but you don’t understand what it would take to make the changes in my life that need to be made!
Maybe not, but I know someone who does, I know the master of all possibilities!
The one who is in the life changing business, Praise God!
God said you’ve circled the mountain long enough, its time to go on through it, Praise God!
I know somebody here, needs to do a U-turn in their life this morning, the good news is God is able and wants to help you in your hour of need!
The Bible is a book of amazing turnarounds, from Genesis to Revelations we see God turning things around for His people.
One of the best scenarios in the Bible is in the book of Ezekiel chapter 37 the Valley of dry bones.
It looked hopeless, impossible, beyond the point of no return.
Ezekiel 37:1-10 MG.
1-2. God grabbed me. God’s Spirit took me up and set me down in the middle of an open plain strewn with bones. He led me around and among them, a lot of bones! There were bones all over the plain dry bones, bleached by the sun.
3. He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?"
I said, "Master God, only you know that."
4. He said to me, "Prophesy over these bones: ’Dry bones, listen to the Message of God!’"
5-6. God, the Master, told the dry bones, "Watch this: I’m bringing the breath of life to you and you’ll come to life. I’ll attach sinews to you, put meat on your bones, cover you with skin, and breathe life into you. You’ll come alive and you’ll realize that I am God!"
7-8. I prophesied just as I’d been commanded. As I prophesied, there was a sound and, oh, rustling! The bones moved and came together, bone to bone. I kept watching. Sinews formed, then muscles on the bones, then skin stretched over them. But they had no breath in them.
9. He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man. Tell the breath, ’God, the Master, says, Come from the four winds. Come, breath. Breathe on these slain bodies. Breathe life!’"
10. So I prophesied, just as he commanded me. The breath entered them and they came alive! They stood up on their feet, a huge army.
We serve a God of endless possibilities, if He can breathe life into dry bones,
He can take care of your situation if you ask Him to, nothing is to hard for Him,
There is no situation, that He can not turn around.
He is always working on our behalf, to turn things around for us, He always works all things together for those that love Him!
Is anybody ready to step out of your old life and into the new one God has waiting for you?
What’s your need this morning, whatever it is, God has the capabilities to do it with ease!
Isaiah 43:18-19 NKJ
18. Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
19. Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
Can you imagine, a river in the desert?
God can!
You see a lot of people believe God can turn any situation around for anyone,
but they have a problem when its them, that needs the turning around done in their life!
This Scripture tells us that God is doing something fresh and new,
but the condition and requirement for receiving the new is to let go of the old.
Reminds me about the story, of the man at the Pool of Bethesda, the place of blessing.
No doubt, he had seen many people get their healing, I’m sure he had seen many people get their deliverance, and get their breakthrough.
And repeatedly the devil taunted him and tormented him and told him.
You’re never going to get your miracle, its been 38 yrs. Give up already, why bother even trying.
But one day the water didn’t just stir, but the one who could make it stir, stood in front him,
Do you know what Jesus did?
He didn’t bring up any of the negative garbage in his life, or the lies the devil had spun.
He just ask him one question, Do you want to be healed?
At that moment there wasn’t enough disease in the world to keep him sick.
The only one who could keep him from his blessing, was himself.
And I tell you the same thing here this morning, the only one who can keep you from your blessing is you.
God stands ready to bless you, He wants to bless you, TBS. (the bible says) He loves to bless His Children, it gives Him great pleasure!
Jesus, has already done everything that could be done, for us to receive His Fathers blessing.
He’s already paid our ransom for our sins with His blood,
He’s already provided for our healing with His body
and He is willing to give us access, to everything He has and has done for us!
The rest is up to us, we are the most blessed people on earth because of it,
That’s why God’s word says, we can be the head and not the tail!
There is nothing that we will ever come up against in this life that He has not provided for!
He has abundantly provided, He is a God of more than enough, not a God of barely enough.
When you stop and think about it, He could not have made it any easier for us.
The solutions to all of lives problems, have always been there waiting, just waiting for us to step into them and use them.
I’ll close with this;
I asked my dear Saviour what he had purchased , for me when on Calvary He died
For all my past and all my problems
He just said that He’d provide.
Every need supplied, Every need supplied
Healing, Cleansing, Sweet peace inside,
Every need He supplied.
If I had to name the greatest blessing He’s given, How would I decide
For after He saved me
I’d just have to say
Every need He’s supplied.
Why wait any longer, start walking in all that God has given you,
Start enjoying everything that Jesus died for, to make possible the abundant life that God has promised you!!!
And soon you’ll see God’s Goodness and you’ll be shouting from the rooftop,
I Am able, I Can do all things, I Will be found faithful!
Do you believe it, then receive it today!
Lets pray,
