When a fiery dart is not quenched, it penetrates and seeds into our heart. That seed-lie constantly seeps into our unconscious. However, it will shout when we face an impossibility. The hidden lies rise to challenge our faith through doubt, fear, and unbelief. 

How many times does ‘I can’t’ come out of your mouth when faced with a difficult situation? That reflects the lie that it is up to us. Buried lies bear fruit. Hosea 10:12, 13 says, “…Break up your fallow ground…You have eaten the fruit of lies, because you trusted in your own way…”

John 15:5 clearly says, “…without Me you can do nothing.” Our way is absolutely independent of the Lord. It opposes His way. Psalm 18:30 says, “The way of the Lord is perfect…” Ours is seriously flawed.

Here is the truth. Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” This is the affirmation I use. “Through Christ I can do all things.”
