His Power Is Perfected In Weakness
« on: May 28, 2014, 06:21:02 pm »
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. (Eph. 6:10 )
And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake ; for when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Cor. 12:9, 10 ) I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD ; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone. (Psa. 71:16 ) For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. (Rom. 1:16 )
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.. (Phil. 4:13 ) For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me. (Col. 1:29 ) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves ; (2 Cor. 4:7 )
Then he said to them, "Go, eat of the fat, drink of the sweet, and send portions to him who has nothing prepared ; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength." (Neh. 8:10 ) strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience ; joyously (Col. 1:11 )

Our frailness exist so that His strength maybe manifested in His Glory.


1 Sam 15:29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent : for he is not a man, that he should repent.

God is not in the business of helping the humanly strong become stronger; rather he takes the weak and makes them strong in himself.

Hi Mac

God wants us to surrender everything over to Him, this allows God to show himself in you.
True worship.
