J. Thomas Why the name « I can not »? 1. I can not keep His word to myself “But if I say, “I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,” his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I CANNOT.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭20:9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ 2. Apart from Jesus I can do nothing, I can not bear fruit without him “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me YOU CAN DO NOTHING... This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15:4-5, 8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ 3. Even though I can not, all things are possible with God “Jesus looked at them and said, “WITH MAN THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE, but with God all things are possible.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19:26‬ ‭NIV‬‬
