To experience God's strength, we must first admit our weakness.

Sometimes, we fool ourselves into believing we have the strength we need to have success in an area. We shortly realize that we don't have the strength needed.

We then go to God and say "Lord, I haven't the strength needed for this situation, I need your strength.
Admitting that we are weak is ok, as we draw  on the strength of the Lord, His strength never fails. In our humanity we are sometimes weak.

2Corinthians 12:9-10
And He said to me.  "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.  Therefore most gladly I will boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Therefore I take pleasure in my infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ sake.  For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Our strength comes when we are focusing on the word of God.
I like to remember what Jesus said in John.
John 15:7
If you abide in Me, and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, it shall be done for you.  "By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

We can ask whatever we desire, because our desires are those of the Holy Spirit in us.  When God's word is in us, we know what to ask for, according to the will of God.
His will is in His word.

I always prefer to read God's word to clear my mind, before I pray.
If His words abide in us we can ask whatsoever we desire, right? 
So it only makes sense to read the word first and then pray.

I always say Good-morning Lord, what are we going to do today.

Personally I prefer to pray the word of God, it will never return void.

Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goes forth from My mouth;  It shall not return to Me void, but it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Sometimes we are weak because we have not fed ourselves on the word of God, if we have, then we have the strength of the Lord.

Beloved, admit where you are weak, and ask God for His strength, it is yours for the asking.  We already have it in us, we just need to ask that it manifest so that we can draw on it.

In Jesus, God has placed in us all that we need, we have to remember it is all there, so ask!
Christ in you the hope of glory.

God Bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
