The gospel can advance when there are many who think, 'I can do.' What happened to the Israelites in the desert is an example for us today. Considering the history, it is clear that those with the positive thought-'I can do'-will ultimately enter the eternal kingdom of heaven.
Now, let's dismiss the negative thought, 'We can't do,' or 'It is impossible for our church or group to do it.' The thought-'I can't do'-makes us shrink back and plunges us into destruction. Let's forcefully advance with the thought-'I can do,' depending on God, like Joshua and Caleb.
Those who think, 'I can do,' achieve their goal if there is a 1 percent possibility. However, those who think, 'I can't do,' are unable to accomplish it even though there is a 99 percent possibility. So God said, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move" (Mt 17:20).
If we believe that we can do, depending on God, nothing is impossible for us. Let's change our thought from now on. If we have the same faith as Joshua and Caleb, Babylon will be fallen soon, as was Jericho. Though Jericho seemed impregnable, it fell like piles of sand before God-it was blown away like chaff and perished as nothing.
Babylon appears powerful now, but it will be as nothing and consumed like stubble before our Almighty God. With great boldness and strong faith, let's forcefully advance the kingdom of heaven.
Isa 14:24 The LORD Almighty has sworn, "Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand."
God spoke through prophecy that everything would be accomplished. To us, who believe in God, the Bible gives this passage: 'I can do everything through him who gives me strength.' Remember the words of Jesus, "According to your faith will it be done to you." Have a firm faith and resolution to fill the heavenly barn with good fruit that pleases our heavenly Father and Mother.
The world belongs to those who think that they can do. Likewise, the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who have positive thinking and faith. Those who think, 'I can't do,' may just occupy their own sitting room. However, those who think, ''I can do,' will take the whole universe and become a royal priesthood in heaven, ruling over the galactic system (1 Pe 2:9).
Dear brothers and sisters, let's do the gospel work with strong and affirmative faith-'I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.' Do not think in a negative way-'I'm not capable of preaching,' but in a positive manner-'Everything is possible because God is with me; if I fail to do it, there must be something wrong with myself.' I hope all of you will accomplish everything by doing it with faith.
The kingdom of heaven is forcefully being advanced even at this moment. Let's leave our mark on it. Let us all forcefully advance the kingdom of heaven and enter it with joy, meeting our Father with abundant fruit when He comes.
