Yesterday, we talked about the tremendous confidence that the Apostle Paul seemed to demonstrate when he said, “I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:13, NIV)
Did you notice Paul’s confidence to accomplish anything came from three secret places? Let’s unwrap this verse to discover his secrets and apply them in our own lives.
- He had confidence because he had a history of victory. Notice verse 12 mentions setbacks but also abundance. I’ve discovered that trials are tough but success can be intoxicating. John the Apostle also mentions the three temptations that can crush any good man or woman: “For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.” (1 John 2:16, NIV) Wow! Battles will either help make you or break you. Remember that David killed Goliath only after he had killed the lion and bear.
- Paul knew that his confidence came through Christ. Whether you’re an athlete or business entrepreneur, “…thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:57, NIV) God can and will help you be an overcomer.
- Christ strengthened him. Jesus will strengthen you as well. The word strength that Paul uses in this verse is “endunamow.” God will make you like a dynamo. You will be dynamic in every endeavor that He empowers.
God wants you to have supernatural confidence to accomplish the impossible through Him and by His strength. That way, He will get all the glory, and we will celebrate with Him. We get to be part of the Great Co-Mission. We get to be part of those Mission Impossible-type activities. It’s exciting and scary at the same time.
It’s time that you say yes to impossible missions with Christ.
He will help you and strengthen you because you are a miracle.

Thank you so much for this devotional it really touched my heart! I have a huge Goliath in my life, six of them as a matter fact!! . Six men who basically conspired to rob me of my inheritance through fraudulent investors. The ringleader was a former Christian friend of mine and an elder in the Church I used to go to.
Please pray for me for justice for me and my three adult kids. It was a huge injustice that was done to me and it was spiritual, and financial abuse. God is still providing for me and blessed me with being able to be in a new home and sell my old one that was too expensive. I’m divorced so don’t have the covering and protection of a Godly husband in my life… but God has been my husband in this
I’m having an issue with the entire idea of being an overcomer because I have a lifetime of failure and loserdom. I’ve failed at my marriage. I’ve failed at my health. I’ve failed to protect my children. I’ve failed at every job I’ve ever done. In fact, I feel that GOD has designated me as a loser.
You are not a looser James. Out of every negative is something positive and the Lord has your back. It is important to notice any obstacle that comes across to set up a game plan to over come. I am currently dealing with obstacles myself of love & achieving goals. However the lord has the answer to every question. You’re awesome James!
