I CAN’T
STOP
At some point in our lives, many of
us have heard, “you can’t say can’t.” It may have been a well-meaning physical
education instructor, teacher, or parent. Now this depiction somehow
implies Jesus has said it too 😊. Even Don King once
said, “I'm in it to win, I can’t give in, I can't give up and I can’t quit.
Victory is mine.” I believe there are times when CAN’T is appropriate.
My friend I believe sometimes we
need perspective without absolute opinions of well-meaning people. There
is nothing wrong with sex or talking about it, but how it's incorporated. There
is nothing wrong with drugs but how the user prescribes them. See
this is the deception the enemy has inserted for years. It is the
perversion of what is pure that makes good evil.
Let’s take a look at Jesus. I’m
sure these are phrases Jesus thought when He taught the disciples especially
Judas and Peter:
I can’t stop loving
I can’t stop forgiving
I can’t stop being thankful
As I was renovating my home a few
weeks back I found myself in Lowe’s. After we finished loading the
cart and headed to checkout I noticed these place mats on the floor. Suddenly
my mind flooded:
I can’t stop waiting on change
I can’t stop waiting on God
I can’t stop waiting for His coming
So thankful for moments God speaks
to us by His Holy Spirit throughout the day. Our faith is increased
abundantly when we choose to listen to God.
My friend as we tune out the
confusion, opinions, and rhetoric of the world we must rely upon our faith. Our
faith challenges us to see beyond limitations that are placed on us each day. We
must choose to seek God’s word and not men’s finite opinion or perspective. Peter
would have been eliminated on Pentecost, Paul would have never written
two-thirds of the New Testament, and many of us would not be accepted into His
beloved. Our faith pushes limitations physically, emotionally,
financially, and many other respects every day. Linda McMahon once
said, “You can’t be afraid to take a risk. You can't be afraid to take a risk
because you think you might fail.” We CAN’T fail with faith. The
risk is our choice, the RESULTS are left to God!
My friend I pray you begin to look
outside the box. Strongly encourage you to reassess your thoughts,
attitudes, to the Word and not the world. God’s Perspective will expand our
horizons like never before. What we once eliminated is no longer excluded and
creativity will begin to explode. Axe heads will float, Red Seas
will part, mountains will be removed, and Heaven will flood the earth! My
new mindset in this season:
I CAN’T STOP THINKING LIKE GOD!
The
song will bless and encourage you:
