God’s Word on Your Potential—Part 2

“For the word of the Lord is right and true; He is faithful in all He does”

Psalm 33:6

You have the ability to be fruitful and reproduce after your kind. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it” (Genesis 1:28). Again God is calling forth something that’s already in you. He didn’t tell the man and the woman to try to be fruitful, He simply told
them to do it. He knew they already had the ability to multiply and reproduce and fill the earth. You too can reproduce yourself. He always places the potential inside before He calls it forth. Whatever God calls you to do, He has already built in. You have the ability to imagine and plan to do anything. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them” (Genesis 11:6). God gave you the ability to imagine and plan and bring into being anything you desire. Now if you read this passage in its entirety, the people to whom God was talking had planned to build a tower. God didn’t stop them from building a tower by cutting off their potential. He stopped them by confusing their language, because He couldn’t stop their potential.

You have the same potential God saw in those people. If you decide to do something, and you believe in it hard enough and commit yourself to work for it long enough, nothing in the universe can stop you. That’s what God is saying. If you want to do anything, God already said, “You can do it.” Only if you lack the commitment to follow after your dream will your dream remain unfinished. The potential to do and plan anything is in you if you will believe and persevere. You have the potential to believe impossibilities into possibilities.
…Everything is possible for him who believes (Mark 9:23). Not only are you able to plan, but you also have the ability to believe something that seems impossible and actually make it possible. If you can abandon yourself to an idea and sacrifice all you have for that idea, God says, “It’s possible for that idea to come to pass.”

If you want to do anything, God already said, “You can do it.”
