Look For His Strength In Your Weakness.

We are walking in today:  Look For His Strength In Your Weakness.


Psalm 61:1-2 1) Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. 2)From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.  God said unto us, My grace is sufficient, for you.  For My strength is made perfect in weakness.  Fiveamprayer, walk with me:  on Monday, One Of Us Is In Trouble, Tuesday, God Knows All Things and then today, in our weakness, we need to look for His strength!  He knows all things about one of us being in trouble.  But our weakness is His strength--in us!  2 Corinthians 12:9-10 9) And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for 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. 10) Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.  2 Corinthians 13:4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.  Psalm 73:25-26 25) Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 26) My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.  2 Corinthians 1:8-10 8) For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 9) But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: 10) Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us.  1 Corinthians 15:42-44 42) So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43) It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44) It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.  His strength is in us!  Philippians 4:11-14 11) Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12) I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13) I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 14) Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.  Matthew 11:28-30 28) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.  God knows what you are going through.  So look to His strength in your weakness.  Our problem is that we try to figure it out ourselves.  Our problem is we try to think that we can carry the weight.  It is like when you are a child and look to your father for help, to open a jar for example.  There isn't any doubt that he can open the jar and he will open the jar because you are his child and well loved.  The jar is like any other but you are not able to open it.  Instead of continuing  to struggle you bring it to him and he opens it with ease.  Knowing that you have someone to be your strength in any situation should no longer give you pause.  God is with us!!  He makes a way for us.  He has plans for and thoughts of us!  Why continue to struggle under all of that weight, your Father is here for you, ask Him!  He is looking for an invitation from us--God is a gentleman He does not force His way in.  Now don't go and ask for His help and then complain all the while.  He knows what He is doing--God knows it all!!  How can you with your limited intelligence even if you are a rocket scientist, still you can't out think God!!  God has told us on yesterday, He will not put more on us than we can bear!!
Lay aside every weight that would so easily beset us.  Fiveamprayer, cast your cares on Him, for He cares for you!  In our weakness His strength is made perfect.  We must look to His strength, not our own ability.  He knows all things!  Trust in His word and walk in His word.  Look for His strength to bring you over every mountain.  We look to the hills for our help, our help comes from the Lord!!  Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  Keep looking for His strength in your weakness!  Look for His strength in your marriage, children, and finances.  It is God who keeps us in perfect peace when we have our minds stayed on Him!  Lay aside every weight, trust in His word!  Seek Him--in prayer and fasting.  Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.  When there is no way, He makes a way of escape for us!  He may say, "be still and know that I am God."  Or He may say as He told Moses, Exodus 33:14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.  Fiveamprayer, look at that--He will go with us!  We are not in this alone.  Trust Him, He is bringing us out and through!  Faith without works is dead.  His strength is made perfect in our weakness.  We must seek, ask, and knock.  Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  Don't be weary in well doing, we must seek after His strength, not our own.  No one else can do it but God!  Look for His strength in your weakness!  We can do all things through Christ which strengthen us!  We know that the greater one lives on the inside of us!  Ask the spirit man on the inside to rise up, so you can walk it out.  His grace is sufficient.  Hold on to the word of God.  As Job said, thou He slays me, yet will I trust Him.  He will do it!  He is our all in all!  God is.  He is our El Shaddai, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Tsidkenu, Emmanuel.  He is the way out, look to His strength in your weakness.  He is our all in all.  Turn it over to Him.  One of us is in trouble!  His strength is made perfect in weakness.  We lift up prayer requests, those known and unknown.  Have them to know Lord that Your strength is made perfect in our weakness.  Have them to really walk in the understanding that our strength is from you and perfected in our weakness!  Hebrews 11:34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.  Look at the mighty arm of the Lord!!  Our God is!  We come to ask for forgiveness, Lord.  We keep getting in the way, trying to help You out.  Forgive us for not stepping back and letting You handle it.  We bring it to You and then latter pick it back up.  We truly lay it down at your feet and will not pick it back up.  We are made strong by You in our weakness.  Thank You Lord for forgiving us with no condemnation, casting our sins into the sea, where they are remembered no more.  Help us Lord to forgive so that we are forgiven as well.  Everything that we need is in Him.  Hallelujah!  Glory to Your name! 

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: Rest in the peace that God brings, the peace that surpasses all understanding!!  Fiveamprayer, He is our Jehovah Shalom!

We must die to the flesh daily, walk in your spirit man.  Look to God's strength, in your weakness.  He can do all things!  He knows all things!  Lead us to the Rock that is higher than I!  God told us yesterday, if we make our bed in hell, He is there too.  Thank You Lord for Your restful peace that is covering us right now!!  Take your eyes off of the situation and put them back on God, fiveamprayer.  See what God is doing, He has already made a way out for us!  We must trust the outcome, it is all apart of His perfect plan!  The Lord God, mighty in battle--is our strength!  God is!  Thank You for peaceful rest.  Get out of fear, fear brings torment.  The Holy Spirit is resting on us--that is why we have peace in every situation.  Truly cast your cares on Him.  He is our all in all.  The enemy knows that you have peace and will come to attack that today.  Hold on it!!  Don't let anything move you out of His perfect peace.  Guard your thoughts and cast down any vain imaginations that would attempt to exalt itself against the high knowledge of God.  He is our all in all!  Thank You Lord!!  Fiveaprayer, stay in this restful peace.  This sweet anointing, breaks yolks.  Be at peace, hallelujah!  Have a blessed day.  Visit us on facebook.  Take time to read these scriptures for yourself.  There is no peace, like the peace of God!  Fight to keep it--He is our all in all.
