Happy New Year! – Apart From Christ I Can Do Nothing – Wisdom From Dr. Neil Anderson – New Year’s Message – Podcast

New Year’s Message on YouTube:

Good morning,

Today’s photo of evergreen trees and a partially frozen pond
in the distance comes to us from yours truly as I decided to capture the view
from my front door hear at Franklin Falls Flow Pond in the Adirondacks after
checking in to our New Year’s Eve accommodations yesterday afternoon.

Well. It’s Sunday and I don’t normally do a message because
we usually share our Bible Study with the Cincotti’s but our Bible Study Author,
Arthur Cincotti has come down with the flu and so our Bible Study has been
postponed, again, until we are on the other side of 2024.

But, we don’t call the podcast mt4christ247 for nothing, and
even though I toyed with the idea of just taking a break, I felt compelled in
my spirit to share something and the devotional email I get from Freedom in
Christ Ministries seemed to provide a perfect message to say goodbye to 2023
and to put us in the right frame of mind for 2024.

So I am sharing this message from Dr. Neil Anderson to
remind us all who we need to depend on in the new year ahead. Dr. Anderson writes:

APART FROM CHRIST I
CAN DO NOTHING

I am the vine, you are the branches apart from Me you can do
nothing (John 15:5)

Add the following
statements of doctrinal affirmation to those you began reading yesterday.
Allow the truth of God’s Word to saturate your heart and guide your steps
in the coming year.

I believe that
Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18), and that He
is the head over all rule and authority (Colossians 2:10).

I believe that
Satan and his demons are subject to me in Christ because I am a member of
Christ’s body (Ephesians 1:19-23). I therefore obey the command to resist
the devil (James 4:7), and I command him in the name of Christ to leave my
presence.

I believe that
apart from Christ I can do nothing (John 15:5), so I declare my dependence
on Him.

I choose to abide
in Christ in order to bear much fruit and glorify the Lord (John 15:8).

I announce to
Satan that Jesus is my Lord (1 Corinthians 12:3), and I reject any
counterfeit gifts or works of Satan in my life.

I believe that the
truth will set me free (John 8:32), and that walking in the light is the
only path of fellowship (1 John 1:7). Therefore, I stand against Satan’s
deception by taking every thought captive in obedience to Christ (2
Corinthians 10:5).

I declare that the
Bible is the only authoritative standard (2 Timothy 3:15-17).

I choose to speak
the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).

I choose to
present my body as an instrument of righteousness, a living and holy
sacrifice, and I renew my mind by the living Word of God in order that I
may prove that the will of God is good, acceptable and perfect (Romans
6:13; 12:1,2).

Father God, I affirm that my life and sustenance come from
You, and apart from You I can do nothing.

Neil Anderson

So, let’s do what the good Dr. prescribes and trust in the
Lord to help us accomplish what he has for us to do in 2024 and let’s keep
walking and talking with God.

Happy New Year and God Bless You All!

M.T. Clark
