The “I CAN’T” Syndrome

Everyday people are tormenting themselves by thinking…

I Can’t change
I Can’t believe
I Can’t get over this sickness
I Can’t go on
I Can’t forgive
I Can’t pay my bills
I Can’t get a job and so on

What we must realize is that this mentality and attitude sets you up to fail, to quit, and to live a negative, defeated life. It is a very poisonous mindset that we must overcome in order to see victory within our lives.

The Bible has so many wonderful scriptures that deal with this mindset. When you start thinking “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13) or “You will give me victory over my enemies…“ (Psalm 44:7-8); you will begin to notice changes in your life.

The most important thing we can do, is stand firm in His word and have faith that he will change our circumstances. For in Ephesians 3:20 it says “He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all we can ask or think“. So why in the world we would allow the dreaded “I Can’t” Syndrome rule in our lives? “I Can’t” should not be in our vocabulary. It doesn’t belong in our lives.

We serve a HUGE GOD and he wants us to have more than enough to spare and share. Why do you think one of God’s names in the Bible is El Shaddai? It means more than enough! I don’t think that would be a coincidence, do you?

To overcome this negative mindset, the absolute best thing we could ever do is set our eyes on Him and speak words of victory. “For my God shall supply ALL my needs according to His riches.” (Philippians 4:19) God has you covered, no matter what the circumstance looks like.

You are VICTORIOUS and a CONQUEROR through Christ!
