Without Me You Can Do Nothing!
Contributed by Grant Gregory on Sep 5, 2006 (message contributor)
Summary: Jesus said that without Him we can do nothing. Our problem is we all put limitations on ourselves and God! It’s time for us to take the limits off of ourselves and off of God!
Without Me You Can Do Nothing!
Text: John 15:5 "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me and I in Him, the same bringeth forth much fruit, for without me, ye can do nothing."
Jesus said,"WITHOUT ME - YOU CAN DO NOTHING!"
He is the source-
He is everything that we need-
The Bible says He is our All in All!!!!!!!
Col. 3:11 "Where there is neither Greek nor jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, scytian, bond nor free, but Christ is all, and in all."
If you’re Sick- He is the great Physican
If you’re Poor - He is your Riches
If you’re Weak - He is your Strength
If you’re in Trouble - He is your Deliverer
If you’re Fearful - He is your Peace
Without Him we are Helpless - Hopeless & Powerless
Ecclesiates 1:1-3 describes what life without God is like-
Eccles. 1:1-3
"...Vanity of Vanities ... all is vanity.
"What Profith hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?"
Without Him we are Nothing-
But With Christ We can Do I Things-
Text: Phil. 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."
Paul received a revelation from God!
"I can do all things ... through Christ"
What a revelation!
Whatever God call us to do ...
He will give the ability & tools to do it!
If you don’t have the ability...
"He’ll give it to you"
If you don’t have the resources..
"He’ll provide them for for you"
"My God shall provide all my needs according to his riches in glory by Jesus." Phil. 4:19
"All Things ... Through Christ ... Which Stengtheth me."
We all put limitations on ourselves and upon God ... When we say ... I can’t do that because:
I don’t have the education...
I’m not smart enough..
I don’t have enough money...
I’m too young...
I’m too old...
Our problem is we all put limitations on ourselves and God! It’s time for us to take the limits off of ourselves and off of God!
What do we Do?
1. We must Let go of Everything- Our sins, or pride, our guilt, and our dreams our visions & take Him by the hand
2. We must let go of our Rightouess - and be clothed in His Righteousness
3. We must Daily Commit ourselves to the Lordship of Christ-
