Your Source/Creator Determines What You Can Do

Your Source/Creator Determines What You Can Do

Jesus gave them this answer: “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he

can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son

also does (John 5:19).

What you can do is related to where you came from. God is serious when He says, “Without Me you can do nothing.” It’s not a matter of being spiritual, it just plain business sense. He created and made you. You came from Him. Therefore, the quality of your abilities is defined by God’s abilities. If you want to know what you can do, find out what God can do. God, who is omnipotent, created you to share His potential. When He took you out of Himself, He automatically gave you the ability to be creative and imaginative. You share God’s potential to plan, design, and bring dreams into reality. God is full of more projects, ambitions, and proposals than you can imagine. He’s the God of the impossible.

But He has tied the revelation of His potential to your dreams, aspirations, and prayers. That’s why God is constantly challenging you to ask Him for the impossible. The possible is no fun for God. He’s already done that. It’s the ideas, plans, and objectives the world hasn’t seen yet that God wants to do. You are the key to God’s creative expression. You can do anything God demands of you because your Creator will never demand more of you than He’s already built into you. God’s saying to you, “Go ahead. Imagine anything you want. There’s nothing you can imagine that I don’t already have. I need your imagination to demand it. Your potential is related to My potential, and I am omnipotent.” God designed you to operate like He does. Faith is going into the realm where you demand out of God what’s in Him that no one has seen yet.

Are you in a situation that completely baffles you so that you don’t know where to turn? You are the perfect candidate through which God can reveal His glory. God gets the glory when you make demands on Him. If you want to glorify God, make Him do things He hasn’t done yet. Go out on a limb and stretch your faith.

That’s how He created you to function. Without faith you cannot please God (see Hebrews 11:6). He demands you to perform the way He does, and He operates by faith.
