I JUST CAN’T DO IT. EVERY TIME I JUST THINK ABOUT IT, I FREEZE UP. That’s an answer from the flesh. Not of the spirit. Paul said', "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. He spoke positive words. He said: "we are more than conquerors through Him who loved Paul’s own spirit was indomitable; his mind was full of the thoughts of God; his voice spoke forth faith and conviction. "Be anxious for nothing," he said, "but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanks- giving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."'

Compare that to someone who says, "I just can't do it. Tried everything and nothing works. I can't do mathematics; can't make sales; I can't hold a job; I can't make a go of my family. The whole world is against me. It's not what you know, who you know that counts. I'm a born loser." How can we hope to succeed with such destructive attitudes? That thinking is a self-fulfilling prophecy for failure.

On the other hand, enthusiasm is contagious, and if You believe in the future, if you have faith, and if you are about what is to come, other people will catch that spirit. They will want to participate. In reality, they sense the spirit within you, and suddenly the Red Sea begins to part, because you are sensing God’s favor, you have humbled yourself before the Lord and you have followed the principles of the kingdom.

 Matt 7:7-8  "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
