Strength Through Weakness

Pastor Bobby Spencer

November 20, 2011

 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 NLT ⁷ even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud. ⁸ Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. ⁹ Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. ¹⁰ That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

The greater the weakness, the greater God's power in your life, to overcome it, perfect it, and define you.

Through your frailties, insecurities and weaknesses, God can do a mighty work, if you surrender and submit to Him.

Benefits of our Weaknesses:

It prevents pride

Paul says, in 2 Cor 12:7 that the thorn in the flesh is designed by God to keep us humble, and reliant on Him.

It assures us of God's Grace and Help

Zechariah 4:6 NLT
