PHILIPPIANS 4:13 . . . “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Have we earned the right to claim “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”?
Philippians 4:13 Was written for . . .
People like Matthew 5:11 (KJV) 11 - Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
People like Luke 9:23 (KJV) - 23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
People like Acts 7:59-60 (KJV) - 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
People like Acts 12:1-2 (KJV) - 1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. 2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
People like 2nd Cor. 11:25-27 (KJV) - 25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
People like Revelation 1:9 (KJV) - 9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
HAVE WE EARNED THE RIGHT TO CLAIM THIS BLESSING????
