Christ
Jesus said to the apostle Paul:
'My
grace is sufficient for you,
For
My power is made perfect in weakness.'
(2
Corinthians 12:9)
The
apostle Paul goes on to say:
Therefore
I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses,
So
that Christ's power many rest on me.
That
is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults,
In
hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.
For
when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)
This
is a paradox and a reality that is true for all who belong to Christ
Jesus.
At the weakest point of our situation, Christ is the most powerful.
Christ
is the most powerful in and through us,
When
we have no power at all
And
are completely dependent upon His power.
And we know that His
power is infinite.
This should be very
consoling for us
Who have put our faith,
hope and trust in Christ.
Every trial, every
confrontation, every difficulty is not in our hands but His;
We by faith surrender
our will to his will and our way to His WAY;
Our part is to hold on
to our faith, hope and trust in Christ Jesus.
The battle belongs to
the Lord [2 Chronicles 20:15.]
This is why the Kingdom
of God is for children only!
Children put their
faith, hope and trust in their parents;
They are completely
dependent upon their parents.
In the same way we are
to put our faith, hope and trust in Christ Jesus.
This thinking is
appalling to those in the world.
It is the opposite of
worldly thinking and doing;
And that is what we
are: The opposite of the world;
In our souls; our mind
will and emotions, and in our spirits.
Because inside of us
lives THE SPIRIT--God--The LIFE GIVING SPIRIT;
The Giver and Sustainer
of all life!
In Him resides the
power of Creation and the power of the Resurrection!
The power that raised
Christ Jesus from the dead!
The power that will put
Satan and all his demons into The Lake Of Fire.
The power that will one
day, create a New Heaven and a New Earth.
The power that
destroyed the world of Noah's day.
The power that
destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah;
And Today, the
power that will fulfill all of Scripture to the last detail;
The power that will
bring The Great Tribulation;
The power that will
destroy all the armies of all the nations;
The power that will
collapse all the cities of all the nations;
The power that will
redeem a Bride for Christ Jesus,
And will establish His
Kingdom on this earth for a thousand years;
Doing away with sin and
evil.
The power that will
enable us to rule and reign with Him;
The power that will, in
the twinkling of an eye,
Change our mortal
bodies into a body like His Glorious Body;
The power that will
make us ONE with Himself in character and being,
As He and the Father
are ONE.
Yes, we submit ALL that
is within us to that POWER;
The CREATOR and the
REDEEMER, God! The Eternal King!
And we delight in our
weakness because then our God is ultimately strong;
His power made PREFECT
in our weakness!
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
Save
yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
