SÍ, SE PUEDE!

Today’s Bible Verse

For all God’s promises are “Yes” in him. And so through him we can say “Amen,” to the glory of God.

2 Corinthians 1:20 (ISV)

Sí, Se Puede!

Many people claim that the phrase, “Sí, se puede!” (Yes we can!), was coined by Dolores Huertas during the immigration reform protests of the 70s. Others credit former President Obama’s, initial political campaign for the phrase during his initial political campaign in early 2000. But that phrase originated around 62 AD and was written by the apostle Paul in Philippians 4:13.

The scripture says, “We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.” However, the “all things” that we can do are within the context of His Word. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but, if you are 5”2’, weigh 220 pounds, and are 65 years old, you will never play for the Lakers. Never. It doesn’t matter how much you pray, fast, and confess. Playing for the Lakers is not included in the “all things” for you. 

The reality is that the “all things” refers to God’s promises. God is saying that to us (His children), all His promises are “yes and amen!” We can become who He says we are, possess what He says is ours, and do all the things He has called us to do. The enemy tries to make us feel powerless, but that’s not the case at all. As his children, we have authority!

“But those who embraced him and took hold of his name he gave authority to become the children of God!” John 1:12 TPT. 

Let this be the mantra of your life: “IF GOD SAYS I CAN DO IT … I CAN!”  It’s that simple. Sometimes we tend to complicate things; just begin to say, “yes and amen,” to every promise from His Word. Don’t let the enemy deceive you; the authority lies within you. Never say, “I can’t,” to what God says, “You can.” (Pastor Miguel Montano, Word of Life Santa Barbara)

Today’s Declaration

Father, today I declare that every single one of your promises is, “yes and amen,” in my life. My authority comes from my relationship with you. And as Your child, I receive everything you promised me. You are a good Father, and if You say that I can do it, I agree with You, in Jesus’ Name!
