“I can do all things in Christ which strengtheneth me.” You can do all things in Christ, and that means in the context of the will of Christ for your life. Whatever He has for you to do, He supplies the power. Whatever gift that He gives you, He’ll give you the power to exercise that gift. And that is, after all, what a gift is. A gift is a manifestation of the Spirit of God in the life of the believer. And therefore, power is in this context of the will of Christ. You are in Christ. As long as you function in Christ, you will have power to do what He wants you to do.
