And He said to me,

The reality of God‘s voice

You can’t make this stuff up!

 


My grace is sufficient for you,

Who’s? My

What? Grace

When? Is

How? Grace Sufficient

For who? Paul=Us

 


My strength is made perfect and weakness

 


Therefore

 


Most gladly

 


Boast in my affirmatives

This is counterculture thinking.

Super souls, super preachers, want to boast in accomplishments

 


That

 


The power of Christ

 


May rest upon me

 


Therefore, I take

Pleasure in:

Infirmities

Reproaches

Needs

Persecutions

Distresses

 


For Christ sake

For when I am weak, then I am strong

When begets Then

 


And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, My strength is made perfect in weakness.”

 


Most gladly therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities,

 


that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

 


Therefore, I take pleasure

 


in infirmities, in approaches,

 


in necessities, in persecutions,

 


in distresses,

 


for Christ’s sake:

 


for when I am weak,

 


then am I strong.

 

 

 

 


2 Corinthians 12:9–10

Ten thousand enemies cannot stop a Christian, cannot even slow him down, if he meets them in an attitude of complete trust in God. They will come to him like the atmosphere that resists the airplane, but which because of the plane’s designer knew how to take advantage of that resistance, actually lifts the plane aloft and holds it there for a journey of 2000 miles. What would have been an enemy to the plane becomes a helpful servant to aid it on its way. If this should seem like a bit of theorizing, remember that always the greatest Christians have come out of hard times and tough situations

Tribulations actually work for their spiritual perfection in that they taught them to trust not in themselves, but in the Lord, who raised the dead.

They learned that the enemy could not block their progress unless they surrendered to the urging of the flesh and began to complain.And slowly, they learned to stop complaining and start praising.It’s that simple and it works. Lord, I pray for Your grace to work with me that I might allow the trials to lift me a loft rather than press me down. Amen.

Platitudes or platforms?

 


I can do all things throughChrist to strengthen me.

 


Philippians 4:13

 


I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flash, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

 


Galatians 2:20
