"But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may reside in me. So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, catastrophes, persecutions, and pressures, because of Christ. For when I am weak then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
While I had something totally different in mind, I had half a blog written then God was like hold up! I have something better in store for this!! IT'S A NEW CHALLENGE. You know you see all these challenges on the internet, most are crazy. But this is different. In the scripture above it says; "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Now read this in this version
"Because of the extravagance of those revelations, and so I wouldn't get a big head, I was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my limitations. Satan's angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees. No danger then of walking around high and mighty! At first I didn't think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that, and then He told me, My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength comes into is own in your weakness. Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size- abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And the weaker I get, the stronger I become. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10
The famous Paul was glad to boast in his weaknesses!! It is time to humble ourselves my friends. We have so much pride these days, we are afraid what others might say. If I tell you what I fail at then I am just making myself look weak, that is what we tell ourselves. What we don't realize is that when we boast in our weakness and are happy to boast in them our God comes in and makes you stronger!! It glorifies Him! He is the almighty, not us! So lets humble ourselves and boast in our weaknesses! I challenge you to first thank God for being the Almighty and admit your weaknesses to Him, then share this post sharing a weakness you have! Others will see it! This gives God all the glory not ourselves!!! It is an humbling challenge! If you can tag me or comment so we can get together and awesome presentation to give God the glory! You guys are awesome for doing this!! It's hard to let your pride down, but this life isn't about us! It is all for God!
"When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom." Proverbs 11:2
If you are experiencing the devil in your life right now the best thing to do is just stop and pray. Stop trying to fight the devil and let God fight Him for you! He WILL win!
you are loved, you are forgiven, you are humble
