Dear friends,

Neil Anderson has written a series about developing a healthy
attitude of success from the Word of God. That success doesn't
necessarily equal the things in the world people typically
associate with success, but it does help us to develop "the mind
of Christ", as demonstrated by these powerful words of scripture
from the apostle Paul:

5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature[1] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7 but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature[2] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death--
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
(Philippians 2:5-11, NIV)

I shared the words of a song last Friday that some of you might
be familiar with. I'd like to share the words again. Think
about these words in the context of the scripture and this
message:

Dear Lord,

YOU ARE MY ALL IN ALL
Dennis Jernigan
(c) 1991 Shepherd's Heart Music (Administered by Word, Inc).

You are my strengh when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all

Seeking You as a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool
You are my all in all

Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your

Taking my sin, my cross, my shame
Rising again - I bless Your name
You are my all in all

When I fall down You pick me up
When I am dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all

Your Brother in Christ,
Brian

NEIL ANDERSON'S DAILY IN CHRIST
from Freedom in Christ Ministries

July 16

SUCCESS COMES IN CANS, PART I

I do believe; help my unbelief (Mark 9:24).

Someone has said that success comes in cans and failure in
cannots. The "Twenty Cans of Success," taken from God's Word,
will expand your knowledge of our faith-object, the Almighty God.
Building your faith by internalizing these truths over the next
two days will help lift you from the miry clay of the cannots to
the reality that in Christ you can do all things.

Twenty Cans of Success

1 Why should I say I can't when the Bible says I can do all
things through Christ who gives me strength (Philippians
4:13)?

2 Why should I lack when I know that God shall supply all my
needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus
(Philippians 4:19)?

3 Why should I fear when the Bible says God has not given me a
spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind (2
Timothy 1:7)?

4 Why should I lack faith to fulfill my calling, knowing that
God has allotted to me a measure of faith (Romans 12:3)?

5 Why should I be weak when the Bible says that the Lord is the
strength of my life and that I will display strength and take
action because I know God (Psalm 27:1; Daniel 11:32)?

6 Why should I allow Satan supremacy over my life when He that
is in me is greater than he that is in the world (1 John
4:4)?

7 Why should I accept defeat when the Bible says that God
always leads me in triumph (2 Corinthians 2:14)?

8 Why should I lack wisdom when Christ became wisdom to me from
God and God gives wisdom to me generously when I ask Him for
it (1 Corinthians 1:30; James 1:5)?

9 Why should I be depressed when I can recall to mind God's
lovingkindness, compassion and faithfulness, and have hope
(Lamentations 3:21-23)?

10 Why should I worry and fret when I can cast all my anxiety
on Christ who cares for me (1 Peter 5:7)?

Lord, thank You for Your loving care reflected in the incredible
promises in Your Word.
