Tudo posso naquele que me fortalece
Filipenses 4:13 é um dos versículos mais conhecidos da Bíblia. Essa declaração de Paulo não é sobre capacidade humana, mas sobre a suficiência de Cristo que nos fortalece em toda circunstância.
Fortalecidos em Cristo
Nossa capacidade vem de Deus, não de nós mesmos. Paulo aprendeu que em qualquer situação — abundância ou necessidade — Cristo é a fonte inesgotável de poder.
I can do anything through him who makes me strong!
I’m not talking about my own needs, because I’ve already learned to be satisfied in whatever situation I find myself. I’m used to having nothing, and I’ve experienced having plenty too. In every possible situation I’ve learned the secret of dealing with having plenty and going hungry, of being rich and of living in poverty: I can do anything through him who makes me strong!
My God will fill you with everything you need in accordance with his glorious wealth in Christ Jesus!
Coragem e poder divino
Deus nos dá espírito de poder, amor e moderação. Nele somos mais que vencedores e podemos enfrentar qualquer adversidade.
God didn’t give us a spirit that makes us fearful, but a spirit of power and love and good sense.
But you belong to God, my friends, and you have defeated them, for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
The Lord is my light and my salvation! How could anyone scare me? The Lord is my life’s fortress! How could anyone terrify me?
Confiança e vitória
Quando lançamos nossas ansiedades sobre Deus e resistimos ao inimigo pela fé, experimentamos a renovação e a transformação que vêm do Senhor.
Surrender all your worries to him, because he cares for you.
So place yourself under God’s direction. Confront the devil, and he will run away from you.
Don’t follow the ways of this world; instead be transformed by the spiritual renewal of your mind so you can demonstrate what God’s will really is—good, pleasing, and perfect.
