Galatians 3:3 Amplified version

 

"Are you so foolish and so silly? Having begun [your new life spiritually] with the (Holy) Spirit, are you now reaching perfection [by dependence] on the flesh?"

 

Whatever God wants for us is made evident in His Word. His Word reveals, or is, His Will. Whatever He wants us to be or do is in His Word. He cannot ask us to be or do anything without providing what is needed to accomplish the task. (No sane person would ask a toddler to change a tire or an adult to make a cake with no ingredients available. When one is asked to do something, it is obvious that the one doing the asking believes that the one being asked has the capability of carrying out the request.)

So, when we find ourselves struggling to do or be what we believe God wants, we may have to face the fact that we do not have the innate ability to accomplish God's plan for us. Yet we do have the ability outside ourselves. Hear words recorded in scripture: "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength", "The Lord is the strength of my life", "For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall."


Let us commit to God what we desire to accomplish and then confess it by faith. We can call it done as a way of accepting that He has heard our prayer and answered, because He is faithful.

 

I commit my desires to God and believe He is working in me to accomplish them. I believe and ,therefore I confess that it is so. I live by faith.
