You Can Do It!
by Dr. Rickey A. Nation

I can do what, you may ask? Anything -- literally anything, but there is a catch. you can do anything with God's help. God, along with the power He gives must be at the center of everything you are trying to accomplish. Put differently, what you are trying to accomplish must bring honor and glory to God. If this condition interests you, please read on:

3. Why should I fear when the Bible says:
   "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (II TIm. 1:7)
4. Why should I lack faith to fulfill my calling knowing:
   "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. (Rom. 12:3)
5. Why should I be weak when the Bible says:
   "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my LIFE; of whom shall I be afraid:" (Ps. 27:1) and "And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits." (Dan. 11:32)

   "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." (I John 4:4)

   "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savior of his knowledge by us in every place." (II Cor. 2:14)
8. Why should I lack wisdom when:
   "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:" (II Cor. 2:14)
9. If any lack wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (Jas. 1:5)
10. Why should I be depressed when:
    "This I reall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The Lord is good unto them that seeketh wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quitely wait for the salvation (salvation means deliverance) of the Lord"
11. Why should I worry and fret when the Bible says:
    "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." (I Pet. 5:7)
12. Why should I ever be in bondage knowing:
    "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." (II Cor. 3:17) and "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the toke of bondage." (Gal. 5:1)
13. Why should I feel condemned when the Bible says:
    "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." (Rom. 8:1)
