I think the verse is saying that we must trust God. Our world is so chaotic right now and trust is something difficult to give in the world, but I know that God is not of this world and that His standards are far higher, His moral ethics beyond reproach, it is he that I trust with everything, there really is no where else to go.
Chapter 6 is emphatic that by prayer and supplication of thanks giving, our wants are secure with God. Therefore givi ng and appreciating is crucial than recieving and requesting.
God doesn't want us to get worried but to make our request known to Him through prayer and supplication. if we do this then his immeasurable peace shall be with us. Christians should think good thoughts:true,honest,just,pure,of good reports. if this is hard then we believe in Him that he gives us power to do so. John 1:12
The word is through CHRIST not any smaller god.Brethen I'm here to encourage you that no situation is greater than HIM. RECIEVE HEALING IN ANY SITUATION YOU ARE IN NOW. IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.
This scripture is my everyday life going for me; my career, life, marriage, prosperity, hope, future will be successful through Jesus who strengthens me.
If this verse were to be made real and embraced by Christians what a different world this would be. This verse sums everything Jesus taught in a very practical way
Tithing is not for the New Testament church. Paul did collect for needy churches. He encouraged giving. However, no one was commanded to give a certain amount/percentage. 2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver."
Philippians 4 verse 15
Paul is saying no church communicated with him concerning giving and receiving except the the Philippians.Now the question is had he preached tithing to this churches if not,then why?
all things excluding the bad ones is possible that thruogh his strength I can definetly going to make it. all things meaning everything we can think about.
You may taking your self as you can not make it , my brother/sisters I encourage you this morning that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you in Jesus name.
It's such a powerful verse so inspiring.its a weapon and key that open every doors with faith. God is telling you directly that i have equiped you with whatever you need to dominate the world. Praise God.
I just finished memorizing Philippians today! It took me 3 weeks but was well worth it. Praise God for His Word. 3:20- "But our conversation is in Heaven, from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ."
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. is a very real statement.I think this is for all the people who say i cant do this or that. it is written that you CAN DO ALL THINGS! just remember to always ask for the strength to do it and BELIEVE YOU HAVE IT!!
I am about to preach about this verse, to encourage students as they are about to write their emaxs.This verse kept me going and I thank God for putting Paul in a situation where he came to realize that there is nothing here does for him self but "CAN DO IT ALL THROUGH CHRIST WHO GIVES HIM POWER" to do it all.
Is also known as Fruit of the Spirit: Galatians 5:22-25(KJV). Also ties in with the full armor of God, in part "The power of prayer." Paul adds the Power of Prayer to the Full Armor of God: "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people." ( Ephesians 6:18, NIV.

Comments on Galatians 5:18 �But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law�.
We know from 1John 3:4 that �sin is the transgression of the law�. When Christ died, �he did away with the Law� (the Old Covenant), and we entered a New Covenant ( Jeremiah 31:31, Hebrews 8:8). Now we are under Grace ( Romans 6:14).
So, let me see if I understand this �process of salvation� correctly: (1) I hear the Word of God which tells me that He loves me ( John 3:16), and that He died for me though I broke no Law. (2) I accept that I am a sinner, even though the Law that would have condemned me does not exist anymore. (3) I receive Christ as my personal Savior, Who saved me from sins that actually don�t exist, since I was born after Christ died and made the Law obsolete and of non-effect. (4) I get baptized and receive the Holy Spirit, and I am no longer under the Law, which was nailed to the cross. (5) Having received the Holy Spirit, I am now under grace. I am free from the Law, and basically I can do anything I want, since there is no more Law to condemn me. (6) Yes, it would be nice to express the fruits of the spirit: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance etc. (verses 22, 23); but these are optional, �because against such there is no law�.
Now, do the statements 1-6 make any sense? I know that many Christians think so. But, let�s see: Perhaps they would have made sense if only Apostle Paul hadn�t mentioned the works of the flesh: �Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like (and the list goes on): of the which � I have also told you in time past, that THEY WHICH DO SUCH THINGS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD� (verses 19-21)� Hey, what happened to grace? We�ve already established that I can�t keep the Law because the flesh is against the spirit ( Galatians 5:17). Even Apostle Paul says: �For the good that I would, I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do� ( Romans 7:19). What�s going on here? The sins mentioned above are transgressions of the Moral Laws that have been �abolished, nailed to the cross, gone�. Now you tell me that I can�t inherit the Kingdom of God with all that love, sacrifice and grace? It seems to me that Apostle Paul is contradicting himself: or, is he? This chapter teaches that the Moral Laws were not included with the rest of the Mosaic Laws that ended at the cross, and that we still have to keep them. They were in effect when you and I were born, and are in effect today: we broke them, and this is why you and I are sinners in need of Christ�s forgiveness and redemption. But for sure, in this letter to Galatians Apostle Paul is talking about circumcision and other Ceremonial Laws fulfilled by Christ (verses 2, 3, 6, 11, 13). You just can�t have it both ways! Brother R.R. came up with a �good excuse�: I can�t memorize the Ten Commandments; therefore I don�t need to keep them. But Apostle Paul disagrees; he says: �I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me� ( Philippians 4:13). Amen.
2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver."
