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.
13 I have strength for anything through Him who gives me power.
11 I do not refer to this through fear of privation, for (for my part) I have learned, whatever be my outward experiences, to be content.12 I know both how to live in humble circumstances and how to live amid abundance. I am fully initiated into all the mysteries both of fulness and of hunger, of abundance and of want.13 I have strength for anything through Him who gives me power.
19 But my God –so great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus– will fully supply every need of yours.
Coragem e poder divino
Deus nos dá espírito de poder, amor e moderação. Nele somos mais que vencedores e podemos enfrentar qualquer adversidade.
7 For the Spirit which God has given us is not a spirit of cowardice, but one of power and of love and of sound judgement.
4 As for you, dear children, you are God's children, and have successfully resisted them; for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
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.
7 Throw the whole of your anxiety upon Him, because He Himself cares for you.
7 Submit therefore to God: resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
2 And do not follow the customs of the present age, but be transformed by the entire renewal of your minds, so that you may learn by experience what God's will is–that will which is good and beautiful and perfect.
