We Cannot But He Can

We Cannot But He Can
Moses said he could not deliver the Israelites out of Egypt
like the Lord asked him to,
and the anger of the Lord burned against him (see Exodus 4:10-14).
What really made the Lord angry?
The Lord didn’t get angry because of what Moses said.
He got angry at what Moses didn’t say.
I think it is very important to acknowledge our powerlessness,
but it is more important to acknowledge the Lord’s might and power.
We can do nothing on our own, but we can do all things through Him.
Moses was right about his condition,
but he didn’t see and acknowledge the Lord’s might, power,
and ability to accomplish the task.
It may take some of us forty years to acknowledge
that we can do nothing in our own power,
and another forty years to see the Lord’s might and power
and to know that we can do all things through Him.
Lord, let us not walk around the wilderness twenty, forty, or eighty years.
Help us to learn this now.
Help us with our unbelief.
Lord, we can do nothing in our own strength and power,
but we can do all things through You.
Help us to get this revelation and be so needy toward You.
Help us to acknowledge our neediness toward You in every situation,
and to believe in You and Your might.
We cannot but you can.
In Your beautiful name, Amen.

From Getting to Giving

From Getting to Giving I had a meeting with a minister today and it was very hard for me. When I got back home, I asked the Lord to tell me the reason. I felt He said that I went to the meeting to receive, not to give. I went to the meeting to get some possible connection for future ministry. May the Lord change our attitude from getting to giving . Selfishness will creep in on us and jump on our shoulders. No matter what we do, if we do it to gain something, we will never be satisfied. Most of our giving is conditional, and conditional acts open the door for our old nature to kick in. Unconditional acts open the door for our new nature to come in. When our new nature rules, there is peace and comfort in the Spirit. But when our old nature rules, there is agony and discomfort. May we allow the Spirit of God to come out of us through our unconditional acts and thoughts. From Kamran Yaraei’s Book “Food For The Heart”.

He Comes to Kill

He Comes to Kill When facing a thief with a gun in our houses or workplaces, we think that if we give him all of our money, then he will leave us alone and let us live. Sometimes we have the same mindset when we meet Jesus. We believe that if we give everything we have to the Lord, and serve Him well, then He might just let us live. But the point is this: The Lord doesn’t come to steal, but to kill. He is not after our possessions, He is after our flesh—our old, sinful nature. The Lord will use all of our daily struggles to kill our flesh. Our good works and giving will not stop Him from doing this. “Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it” (Luke 17:33). It is very important to know that as we get closer to the Lord, we get closer to the death of our flesh. This should be great news to us. He wants us to get close enough that He can kill our old nature, which is thoroughly described in Galatians 5:19-20: Now the works of the flesh are ev...
