New King James’ translation says. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

The Amplified translation says. I can do all things which he has called me to do through him who strengthens and empowers me. Fulfill his purpose. I’m self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency. I’m ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.

Now the NIV, which is the New International Version, says. I can do all of this through him who gives me strength.

I read different translations so that I can get a fuller understanding of what the scripture means. After I do that I sit there and I meditate and I ponder what I read. And then I come up with. I called Michelle’s translation.

So here are some translations from me.

• I’m ready for anything and equal to anything.
  
• I have the ability, the strength, and the power for all things I’m self-sufficient in Christ sufficiency. I can do this.
  
• I have everything I need to successfully get it done.
  

Now when you’re doing a devotional, it’s really important. At least I think it’s very important. It’s been very beneficial for me.  To not only meditate on the Word, but actually go in and study that word to get in there and find out what those individual words mean. When you have a full understanding of each word that jumps out to you.  It makes the scripture come alive to you.

So in that Scripture can do means to be strong in your body for you to have strong health. It means to have power exerting and wielding power and having the strength to overcome. To be able to have the power and the skill, the opportunity to do something.

When he says all things, it means whatever. Now the interesting thing about the word, whatever is that it’s called a pronoun determinator. What that means is that it’s used to emphasize no restriction.

So whatever all things it means, thoroughly complete with every detail. Every includes all things. Everything means there’s nothing that’s left out of it.

And then we have Christ. Which we know is Christos. In Greek, it’s Jesus Christ, our Messiah, the son of God, the anointed one. In his anointing. He himself strengthen. Means to empower and to give me authority and power and confidence to do something.

So I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me means I can do everything in my body. I have strong health to do it. I can exert and wield energy. I have the strength to overcome. I have the power and skill and ability to do something. Whatever it is because there is no restriction.  I can thoroughly complete it with every detail intact. All things I can do because Christ the anointed one, has empowered me. He’s given me the authority, the power, and the confidence to do this.

So let’s take a moment now and do a meditation.

So after I have read the scripture and then I’ve gone through each translation. And then I’ve created my own translation. And then. I have studied the Scriptures so I got a fuller understanding of each individual word. It is now time for you to meditate.

And some of the new thoughts that I would encourage you to meditate on are as follows.

• I can do whatever I need to do. I can do hard, complicated, disciplined work to get what I need and want.
  
• I am furnished with the necessary powers of administration.
  
• I am provided with everything needed to accomplish/execute and rule.
  
• I have everything I need to accomplish/achieve and rule.
  
• I already have everything I need to achieve excellence.
  
• I can do this; I have everything I need to successfully get it done.
  

Father, in the Name of Jesus. Your Word says that whatever I bind on earth is bound in heaven and whatever, I loose on earth is loosed in heaven.

So I bind:

• Fear
  
• Doubt, and
  
• Low self-Confidence
  

I loose the continual thoughts that:

• “I’m ready for anything and equal to anything.”
  
• “I have the ability, strength, and power for all things,
  
• and “I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency.”
  

I thank you that I already have everything I need to achieve whatever I want in any area of my life; and I will continue to use my power (abilities, talents, skills) until I see the physical manifestation of what I’m believing for.”

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
