1 I Can Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Phil. 4:11-13).

2 I Can Overcome Temptation (1 Cor. 10:13) – No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. – Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him (Jas. 1:15).

3 I Can Change (Matt. 21:28-32) 28 But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go, work today in my vineyard.’ 29 He answered and said, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he regretted it and went. 30 Then he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, ‘I go, sir,’ but he did not go. 31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to Him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; and when you saw it, you did not afterward relent and believe him.”

4 I Can Change (Matt. 21:28-30) – Adulteress (Jn. 8:11) – Murderers (Acts 2) – Sorcerers (Acts 8:9-13) – Blasphemers (1 Tim. 1:13) – Immoral (1 Cor. 6:9-11) I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile (Rom. 1:16).

5 I Can Teach Others (Jn. 1:40-42; Acts 9:20; Mt. 28:19-20) One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus (Jn. 1:40-42). Immediately he preached the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God (Acts 9:20). Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age (Matt. 28:19-20).

6 I Can Make A Difference (Mt. 5:13-16; 1 Co. 5:6; 2 Co. 3:2) You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven (Matt. 5:13-16). …Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? (1 Cor. 5:6). You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men (2 Cor. 3:2).

7 I Can Be A Christian (Mt. 11:28-30; Heb. 2:9; 1 Jn. 2:2) Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light (Matt. 11:28-30). But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone (Heb. 2:9). And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world (1 Jn. 2:2).

8 I Can Understand the Bible (Eph. 5:17; 3:3-4; 2 Tim. 2:15; 2 Pet. 3:18) Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is (Eph. 5:17). That is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ (Eph. 3:3-4). Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Tim. 2:15). But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Pet. 3:18)

9 I Can Attend All the Services (Heb. 10:25; Mt. 6:33; 1 Jn. 5:3; Jn. 21:17) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching (Heb. 10:25). But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you (Matt. 6:33). For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome (1 Jn. 5:3). …Do you love Me? (Jn. 21:17).

10 I Can Go To Heaven (Mt. 7:13-14; Rev. 2:10) Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it (Matt. 7:13-14). Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life (Rev. 2:10).

11 I Can Overcome Temptation (1 Cor. 10:13) Change (Matt. 21:28-30) Teach Others (Jn. 1:40-42; Acts 9:20; Mt. 28:19-20) Make A Difference (Mt. 5:13-16; 1 Cor. 5:6; 2 Cor. 3:2) Be A Christian (Mt. 11:28-30; Heb. 2:9; 1 Jn. 2:2) Attend All the Services (Heb 10:25; Mt. 6:33; 1 Jn. 5:3) Understand the Bible (Eph. 5:17; 3:4; 2 Tim. 2:15) Go To Heaven (Mt. 7:13-14; Rev. 2:10)
