God Is Creating Weakness In Your Life - Paul Washer

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 เม.ย. 2021
- Your problem is never that you are too weak. As a matter of fact, what God does in our lives, from the moment we are born again and until we die, is He is constantly working to create weakness in us. The problem is not that you are weak; the problem is that we don't know how weak we are; because that weakness would drive us to prayer. Just as being truly incarnate drove our Savior to prayer. - Paul Washer

When I was in high school, I wrote in my journal, "There are no great men only a great God " Today, at 67 yrs old, more than ever I'm amazed the Lord stoops so low to have a relationship with a human being. 🙏
Amen.
Thanks for sharing.
Amen. He is a gracious God.
The LORD doesn't stoop low. HE raises us up to HIS level and HE does it with the WORDS OF HIS MOUTH.
Job, right.... where were you when I made all this... yes, the one who made all this is taking time to give you understanding. He is good
Redeemed from a heroin addicted, alcoholic, meth addicted mess, into a God fearing man. I was in and out of jails and prisons 18 times, I was truly without hope in this world, and at just the right time, I opened the Word of God I'm a jail cell, and I was set free indeed by Jesus Christ. My life was a wreck and I wanted to die,and God gave me the opportunity to die to self to live for me. While I'm still the most wretched sinner I know, by grace I have been saved thru faith, and that faith is not my own, but the very gift of God. When I am weak, HE is strong!
Amen to that. May grace continue to flow on you, been in states of addictions as well and some addictions rather shameful but here we are because grace and love is of the Lord
amen we are similar brother
I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!
AMEN
Yeah, my transformation was intense as , I was on my way to get meth, couch surfing, homeless. God stopped me in an appt parking lot. He shattered me . I was truly sorry and repented for a week in dustcloth and ashes. I turned to Him to save me and a house was lifted off of me. All the anger from child abuse, failures in life, as a mother all gone! I was forgiven and I am a new creature inside and out! Thank you for testimony! Be blessed beloved....
@@wynniwagner2003 God bless you!
God bless you too sweetheart. Just remember Jesus came to call sinners to repentance. " good people " don't exist outside of Christ. So at least we can see our need and be transformed by the gospel! God bless...
Beautiful testimony, so similar to mine. Its wonderful how God draws us to Him by His own spirit and calls us His own✝️🙏🏻
Weaknesses are good. They humbles us and forces us to depend solely on God. When you depend on God, your weaknesses turn into strength.
As I wrestle with stage four cancer this message is quite timely.
May you rest in the Shalom of Gods Healing power , May the Holy Spirit fill every crevasse and overflow into every nook and corner of your being Father we lift up our Brother unto thee in Jesus Holy Name amen 🙏
May God give you strength🙏
May the Lord give you strength and overwhelming peace.
Remember nothing is impossible with God, claim your healing through our lord Jesus Christ, by his stripes we are healed..
I pray for your peace, health and healing. I pray you find rest and comfort in Christ, brother. Love to you and your family, may God strengthen them too.
In my days before knowing Christ, I was the top dog at high school. Highest grades, best in sports, etc. I believed that I was greater than most and probably even more valuable than most. In my last year of high school, I found Christ and from that point on, I fell into a deep hole. I got weaker, physically and mentally. But in my heart I kept on trying to hold onto those years when I was at the top and I would continue to convince myself that I was strong, that a person like me belongs at the top of the food chain. I’m 22 now and I can assure you that I’m nowhere near the ‘top of the food chain’. For the first time in my life, I’ve only now realised that that’s the point. To see that I am weak and that I need God to do anything.
I am a weak young man. I’m sure there are many of you who can understand where I am. But we need to see our need for God. We need to see our need for His Son. We need to see our need for His Spirit because we are incapable; insufficient. We’ll continue to fail because we continue to rely on our ‘Alpha Male’ mentality.
I need God. I cannot do anything on my own.
This is so beautiful Karan.
Amen! Praise God!
Thanks for sharing, i needed to read that. I need humbling
Resonates with me, our weakness exalts HIS strength 🙏🏻
Thank you for this.
4:06 "The problem is not that you're weak; the problem is we don't know how weak we are."
yes
Acknowledging one's fault is also a strength many seem to forget.
@@PatrickMenesesYTOfficial4945 The point is, weakness leads us to God.
@@reformedheart true
Regardless! Whether you know or not that you are weak, he is there salivating for your worship. SADISTIC EGOMANIAC!
The older I get the more dependant on God I am. But I have also found the more dependant I am on Him the more I love Him. Praise His holy name.
yes! we love much bc we have been forgiven much. Our Savior becomes that much more precious to us.
In 2016 I was diagnosed with multiple stage 4, inoperable cancers in my body (including lung and liver) and another five in my brain. I was expected to die within twelve months but I am still here. The original cancer treatment has given me ocular myasthenia gravis to both eyes. I have prayed my socks off, been anointed with oil several times but God has neither healed me nor taken me. I cry out to Him, WHY WHY WHY do you keep me this way and for so long? I don’t claim to know all the answers, far from it. What I do know is that the longer my weak life continues, the more Christ means to me and the less I mean to me. It teaches me that God owes me nothing and I owe Him everything. C.Philip….Be greatly encouraged, the battle has already been won by Jesus!
My grace is sufficient for you - he said to the apostle Paul . You will not be weak and sickly in heaven! Nobody makes it out of here alive car accident, cancer, ect “it is appointed that every man should die” his word says. Jesus had only 33 years before he was murdered. But in that short time he did the will of God and pleased his father. He conquered death for you David and that means when you do pass from this life you will not endure the second death you will not burn permanently but you will abide indefinitely with the king of kings where there are no tears there are no sickness where the lion lays with the lamb.
What a profound lesson and message! God bless you! 🙏🏾
How are you friend?
❤❤
You won’t go before your time.
I fasted a whole day for the first time, and it made me realize how weak I truly was. It was a huge eye opener.
The first day is the hardest, iv done multiple two and a half days and the first day is always the worst. When you read the word while fasting it just seems different too, idk what it is but it feels like your more connected to him.
Try a 3 day fast it’s spiritually very powerful and you’ll find breakthrough
I've been wanting to fast for a while now
It always is...Fasting is a SYSTEM
@Daniel Moulton i meet your type everyday...Please be part of the body of Christ
“There are only tiny, weak, faithless men, of a great and merciful God, who has granted them grace” already from the beginning I was sobbing
Jesus Saves!
😢
When I was 13 I asked God once "why did you allow me to go through all that I have" and God said "You will understand and have compassion for people others have disregarded." I said ok. I'm 24 today, and since that day at 13 I've stopped asking "why" something has happened, but rather "how" it will be used. What will I learn? God is great in our weakness.
Katelyn, you learned early in life!! God bless you 🙏 ❤
Thanks for this comment, AMEN!
Wow I was just saying this today send me to the outcasts 👐I have been the outcast !Just beginning to understand when I'm weak he is strong ❤✝️
Maybe its the same for me dont know though how did u find out?
Stop saying God told me it's unbiblical and pagan. Everything God has to say to us is already written in the word. There's a reason why he quit talking to people and if he was still talking to other people then our Bible should be an unfinished Bible but it isn't. So it's very unbiblical to say that God is speaking to people in this day and age
In my weakness I can clearly see that Jesus is more than enough for me.
Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God showed to me a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you. I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding on to them. In prayers, I saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and a motive to cause confusion in your life and to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render help with Anything you can afford to the children of (DIVINE CHARITY ORPHANAGE HOME FOUNDATION) in Edo State Nigeria, before 4DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact where ever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Contact or WhatsApp the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details +2348106792672 tell him I sent you. For it is not by might nor by power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you.

I was so confused about my weakness that I nearly condemned myself for it. But now I realize more how my weakness pushes me closer to God 🥺 sometimes I wish not to have them, but OH how great our God is who rescues me from all troubles. Amen👆🙏❤️
Amen to that
No words. Just gratitude.

Last Sunday I went to church and had a great day afterward. Then that evening, I had a heart attack. I was alone and though I knew what was happening, I was shocked it was happening cause I'm not elderly or out of shape. I'm finally home from the hospital and I'm confused over this. Like, where did it come from? Why did this happen? What do I do now?
Thank You God cause whether my heart fails or not, You are still a good God and I will continue to praise You! Your power is made perfect in my weakness!
What you do now is see your cardiologist on a regular basis, along with continuing to serve Him.

I love that hymn. I will always need God.
Oohhh yesss....🙌🙌
Oh yes! What a beautiful hymn.
Amen.
What a humble and true prayer, we all should proclaim.... knowing that God resists the proud, and yet freely gives grace to the humble. YES, LORD I need you! Today and everyday!
I hope to come back to this and write a testimony of how God has used my weakness for His glory ❤
How are you now?
The problem is not that we are weak, the problem is we don’t know how weak we are! That’s the reason why we do not pray. 🥺🙏🏻 Lord, teach me to pray like you.
I've heard this sermon many times, but this time I get it. Praising Jesus for his patience for the feeble minded.
God doesn’t need to “create” weakness in us. His Spirit simply reveals progressively how weak we were all along.
God doesn't need to create weaknesses in our lives, we bring enough to the table on our own.
Praise the Lord for this sermon.
It is so real to me.
I am a cancer survivor for 6 years now.
The sermon reminds me on how God drew me to Him by having intense praying life during my cancer treatment - several cycles of chemotherapy and radiation. It was terrible pain for me to drink and eat. Only by God's grace that he gave me courage, peace and strength to force myself having drops of water and foods. Through this weakness i found God in the most special and closest relationship. Our hero - Jesus Christ is real!!
False humility is the most dangerous thing..we might be weak but we are strong through jesus
Thank you God for my Cerebral Palsy because in the weakness of this body I see your Grace your Glory and your Strength in it Thank for doing so much with my brokenness more than I will ever know. If ever I love thee my Jesus is now in my 40th year of life. Forgive this old sinner of his sin I ask in Jesus name Amen John Chapter 9 is always worth a read
May GOD bless and strengthen you through that weakness. 🙏🏻
@@Sarah_G18 He already has 🙏
The more I’ve depended upon myself to live Godly in Christ the greater my sin...but, the more I’ve surrendered to depending upon the righteousness of Christ and having been justified by and through Him alone the more I live in freedom...that surrendering begins in prayer! ✝️❤️🙏🏻
Amen
I needed this.. sometimes we do everything possible to help Christ help us. Since when has he needed help.?! God bless you brother.
@@theyoungmansplan8562 God bless you as well! ✝️💪🏼
Isn’t it interesting how I’ve had the exact opposite experience? The more I learned to trust and value myself, the more I began to authentically live in freedom…but the more I wrestled with viewing everything through a godly or Christian lens, the smaller and more filled with shame and fear I became…we all experience life differently, don’t we? 🤷♀️🙂
@@Kontraleah …
You were viewing Christianity from the outside.
You had no idea of the power of the gospel.
The Bible was an incomprehensible book. Nothing more.
I always thought I was a strong and solid person... But with some things that happened in my life recently, I'm realizing the total opposite 😔
In our relationship to God we will always stay children and never grow into adults
Trust in the Lord and he will guide you. Lean on Jesus Christ and pray to Him and ask Him to help you. I’ll pray for you.
Years ago ,A rabbi told me Jesus used to
Wake up 4:00 am to pray for at least 3:00 hours each day. As American its embarrassing we Can even pray for 15 minutes in the morning .may God have mercy on us before it's too late.
I don't think its about length of time as such, I get what you mean though. Smith Wigglesworth said that he never prayed longer than 15 minutes, but never went 15 minutes without praying lol
Wish I could like this a million times. We are WEEK and only GOD, Our Faithful God, is STRONG.
Thank you for this word. I've been going through a lot of trials: economy, health, chronic pain, my daughter's health, etc. The Lord has free and healed us of some of them through a very long process. Many many times I haven't been able to even pray, or sit down to do my devotional. But the Lord has been merciful and have talked to me in so many different ways, not only through prayer. Plus I have ADD, so it's not easy, but the Lord has talked to me anyways, he has never left me
A broken contrite spirit, He will not despise. Psalm 51:17
He is the vine, we are the branches ... without Him, we can do nothing. John 15
indeed
What a fantastic message and so full of truth. It makes me sick to my stomach when I hear people being praised for being so holy and "such a man of God." It took me many, many years in my Christian walked to really understand how pitiful and useless I am without Christ. Hearing your story about the little boy drowning was so relatable to me in my life and how I would pull other people down with me in my own desperation to be happy and feel fulfilled. Christ saved me from drowning while others watched helplessly.
This is why I’m so weak!!!! This is why God made me this way. I’ve been so weak all of my life and I questioned God why He made me this way. Why am I the least of everyone. Now I know why, because for so long I hated it, I considered myself the weakest link. I’m disabled(special needs). My parents don’t believe in God, they believe in the Government(democrats). And I have mental illness off and on and I’m often depressed, both because of past trauma(roommates, situations, and how bad this world is), and still to this present day, and because it runs on my mom’s side of the family. I didn’t have the blessing of the spiritual blessing, I was and am under the spiritual curse. I asked God and would continue to ask Him, why am I so freaking weak? Why did He make me this way? And I despised myself. I didn’t have an answer to why I lived such a frail existence, until now.
What did you conclude?
Am not sure. It’s been a long time since I wrote this, but I think God made me this way on purpose.
I'm battling with vertigo and kidney trouble but this message uplifts me.

I have questions in my mind and self.
I trust that it has a purpose and it will be clear all soon
I'm currently dealing with martial problems right now and nothing has made me feel more weak and vulnerable as horribly failing to love my wife as Christ loves the Church. It's something I had such high hopes for in the beginning of our marriage and now I'm feeling very discouraged and almost hopeless. This message was exactly what I needed to hear, yet I still feel so far away from where I need to be, so so far...... nevertheless the truth still remains and I thank you brother Paul for giving us this message, and regardless of where I am, the Lord is still faithful, able, and worthy of all praise and glory. To God be the glory and dominion, and thanks be to Christ eternal for His unfailing mercies.
yes!! the only way we can do right is by relying on Him John 15. I hope things are better

@@aljonco1 I agree and yes, we are stubborn when it comes to learning that and coming to know that we know it. ☺ It's the complete opposite of the world's way.

Exactly.. there is no other door..and only few are blessed to know this truth.
Weakness is what brought me to Christ and weakness is what continues to drive me to Christ.
This is such a great message to remind ourselves constantly. In a culture (especially in western culture) where we are expected to "pick ourselves up by our boot straps", we can often get caught up in the lie that we need to do things by our own strength. This is not only foolish, but we rob ourselves of the joy seeing God's power work through us in our weakness. Praise God that even when we are faithless, He is always faithful!
somehow my friend did this for me. she risked drowning to bring me to Christ and i will forever be grateful to not just her but also God for putting it in her heart and giving her strength through Christ not to abandon me to sin. Thank you Jesus for not letting me die before i found you...again.
Thank you. I get emotional when I think of how wonderful Our Lord Jesus is,that he would make himself known to me, a weak sinner.
I am experiencing anxiety and depression and also lack a sense of purpose in life. To uncover my true identity and sense of purpose is to get closer to God and immerse myself with the teachings and principles of the Bible. Ephesians 1:11
“It is in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for.”
I just want you to know you are far from alone. I am struggling with the same thing. God bless you!
I am not too familiar with who you are but this made me tear up. Why ?because your message is a reminder that I am nothing without the father. I cannot do anything in my own strength. I am a mess without him and I desperately need Him in my life on a daily basis !
Thank you !
May god bless you. You definitely got the right message from his speech.
Amen!!!
Love this guy, sometimes he says things that offend me but that is the gospel it will convict you it will set you on the right path!
@I'll Be Honest scam alert
hi ,why doesn`t trinity appears in bible,,,,,,
Brother Paul, that was one of the most powerful 15 minute messages I’ve ever heard. Thank you...
@Paul Washer Do you really speak such lies and even use the name of God and Paul Washer to ask for money? I have already read that same message several times, is it that you don't have a bit of fear of God?
@Paul Washer God knows you and he will judge you accordingly 🙏
I am glad Paul is talking about weakness. We have lots of poverty and problems in today's world. It is good to rely on God for anything and everything we need, for he is sufficient for all.
Since I was 16 God has been sending this man thru the internet in times of weakness. It's scary how accurate each occurrence has spoken to me. Blessings Brother Washer
Exactly the same for me!
I’m fearful because although I’m in good shape and fit, I have high BP. It has caused panic attacks early in the morning because I fear dying. Sometimes I wake up and can’t breathe. I need to give it all to Jesus my Lord.
Do you take potassium citrate?
Also: A growing number of scientific studies are showing that hand-grip exercises can help lower blood pressure. There is an FDA-cleared product called zona plus that WORKS. But I think even normal grip devices do. The zona is expensive. Like the writing about the camry dynamometer mentions bp, although they cant make medical claims directly, and it’s only thirty bucks. But the resperate and zona devices both can and do make the medical claim that they lower bp. And the resperate works.
God bless you Dennis I just prayed for you in Christ’s name that you may be well to glorify God.
@@ibperson7765 - thank you very much.
Today I was walking down the road and talking to God about my weakness and unfaithfulness, and the one heart cry was just lord help to know my true necessity is you and how hopeless I truly am without you.
Graciously, God has given me 60 years of mountains impossible to overcome.
Matthew 4:8-11
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Yes sir! This is very true! Thank you Lord for creating weaknesses in my life. I love them for they have brought me nearer to you and made me witness your strength in it all.
Mahi, Me too, I came to Christ because I was weak in many areas and didnt feel "good enough" I still struggle but God has shown me to put my confidence in the strength he provides through me:)
*through Christ
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
Wow.. I was Wondering WHY..i was So Fustrated Hearing others Exalting. Others..i get so Irritated as it Immediately Takes..Away..From God..As I Am Always..Reminded of my Weakness..(without God)
Thankyou For Explaining this
Hey your comment is just what i needed added to this. Yes exactly. Thanks Dana 🙏🏻 👍🏻 Christ is Lord ✝️
I am weak. So weak. I tried to do it without Jesus. I ended up a porn addict, a rotten degenerate, and a selfish liar. Now I know deep within my bones that I cannot and will not live without Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I would sooner die! Praise be to the Father forever and ever Amen.
I used to love life. I had friends, I was buff, and was hilarious.
These days friends are few and far between, I lost my beloved physique when I was injured, and I lost the spark of life that spawned my humor. All those things are gone now. I wasted a lot of time being bitter over their loss, scorning others for no longer favoring me as the once did. But if this God's way of humbling me and showing how I truly need Him, if it is a mechanism being used to preserve my faith in Christ then so be it. I welcome it
This sermon has changed my life. Indeed when we are weak we gain strength from our Lord Jesus by humbling ourselves through prayer. 💪🏾❤️🙏🏾🙌🏾
"When I am weak, then I am strong" resonates in me and opens now a new dimension of a journey of faith. O this profound teaching touches me deeply. I had never heard such a preaching on weakness that way: That God is working in us to create weakness... so we would desperately search for communion with Him: Prayer. It is a danger to think we can do it. No, Jesus in us makes it through us. Without Jesus we can do nothing. Thank you Lord for reminding me this great truth.
Beautifully written 🥺🙏
Life has been so hard recently. I dont know where God is leading me, but I trust his plan. I am giving my struggle with anxiety/Intrusive thoughts to him and letting him make the next move.
Glory to GOD this is so much Truth! I cannot be humbled until I am broken and I don’t realize my need for Jesus until I am weak & helpless. LORD keep me weak and hungry for my need of You!
2 Corinthians 12:9
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.
A little off topic but I saw a Mole hill for the first time today and a baby Mole :) God is so incredible and so sweet. Jesus, I'm sorry for not even trying to get to know you sooner. A lot of people don't get to live to be 29. No matter what happens or when, there's no way my life could have been better 💜
God bless you sweet sister 💖💖💖
the clay jars with light in them that Gideon used to overcome is The Holy Spirit in us, we can to overcome.
This is the very reason I have problems when people say that God won't give you more than you can handle. It seems so ridiculous to think that. If you could handle everything given to you then what reason would you ever have to turn to God, to lean on Him?
True. And that phrase is not even in scripture! It’s a made up verse.
I read somewhere a refutation or a correction to that saying - "God won't give you more than He can handle."

"It's need, it's weakness. I've never done anything but fail on my own". Yup, that's where I am. In every regard, and physically. Stuck with an indwelling catheter since the beginning of July and so much hip pain. This is a word from God for me. It ties in with something else I read earlier today.

@@jamescoates9181 Go away scammer. I have reported your post
When I am weak then I am strong! 2cor12v10
I love this thought and have definitely seen it proven in my own life, although I think I might express it as God is perpetually "revealing" new weaknesses and new levels of weakness in us, rather than say He is creating weakness in us. I believe the weakness is there from the time we are born, but until we get in certain situations and around certain people, we don't realize it because we are comfortable. But life tends to present more and more difficult situations as we get older (and God countinues working to sanctify us more as we grow as believers) and the more pressure we are under, the more weakness we discover. I am dealing with some of this today at work, in fact. God does give us more than we can handle, and that's what helps us learn humility. Timely word, thanks for sharing!
It definitely humbles us,I thought I had it all until I got depressed and saw how weak and nothing I am without God and I just want to be so humble now😅😅coz I never wanna go there again
Yes agree, He allows these weaknesses to surface so we either deal with or continue fooling ourselves or keep ignoring warning signs.
Thank the Lord for this message I really needed to be reminded of how desperately we need the Lord. Glory be to Jesus Christ
His strength is made perfect in weakness. And I add, His weakness is stronger than all.

Look children, a Christian obsessive. Religious OCD is a serious mental health issue. Invisible enemies are the first sign of insanity. Doesn't he look paranoid?
Thank you for this. Pride has been keeping me away from God, and He crushed it in my weakness for He is my strength not myself.
God has had to break me down to dust several times in my life when pride rears it’s ugly head. And I thank God for that. It draws me closer to Him.
To have needs as a earthly human is perfect. Perfect because this is where and when Christ will bring his light into our darkness. And how his light shone upon All Of Us! So, live in weakness. And we will glory Our Father's love and grace. Amen.❤
You can tell without a doubt that Paul Washer has the TRUE GOSPEL in his heart. He won‘t teach anything that goes against it even to the smallest tiny bit. His biblical teachings and how he links them to real life situations and circumstanced are insanely touching. I think we can all agree that God has been working on his life and still is to day, in order for him to be a courageous leader.
Glory to GOD, YESHUA 100% man, 100% GOD. Paul Washer! Humble man, very empowered preacher! Bless his Heart.
@13:08 there it is! Thank you for that answer & acknowledging that God spends DECADES cultivating that degree of weakness in a person.
I am nothing without Christ Jesus.
Thank you for this message. I've been struggling really hard for awhile, and this seems like an answer from heaven. Thank you all I'll Be Honest. May the Lord reward you all for your service.
Amen. They will make a disciple out of me yet.

Very convicting. "Only one hero" His name is Jesus🙌🏾
An essential truth (2Co 12:9 ) - but God doesn't have to create the weakness - it is inherent in us. He promises that if we go to Him in weakness He will give us strength (Heb 11:34;Eph 6:10), but we must never forget it is His strength, not mine.
Please pray for me and my Husband. Thanks.
Do you still need prayer, sister? What for?
thank you for reminding us how important it is... my son in law is Pastor James Coates in prison for opening his church for worship here in Alberta 💔 it brought me to my knees as I realized how weak not only myself but believers all around the world are right now as we are complacent and sleeping spiritually ...it was through these darkest hours that I saw the power and strength of God working through prayer 🙏 how blessed I felt as I drew closer to my Lord realizing I am nothing w/ out his strength and spending may hours and days on my knees in tears before a God who is sovereign and in control of all things...never again will I question Gods power through prayer💕Psalm 6:2 ...”have mercy on me oh Lord for I am weak”....Philippians 4:6... “be anxious for nothing, but in everything by PRAYER and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be known to God”.... no matter how small or trivial we think things are all God asks of us is to bring it to the foot of the cross lay it down so he can take that burden which has been weighing us down and he will strengthen us through himself🙏
HI Linda, thank you so much for your words. I'm in Langley BC and stand behind Pastor James. God bless your family.
@@nataliefunk4895 thank you so much Natalie... it took me a long time to realize just how powerful prayer is and going through this trial w/ my kids not only broke my heart but seeing God work was totally amazing and I would not want to be anywhere else but here. I moved to Edm from Ontario 2 yrs ago and I would not have wanted to be there right now as supposedly solid churches are waffling and bowing to Cesar so badly 😢 I am so proud of James and Erin for the stand they took for Christ and made history 😁. It’s funny when James was younger, his mom told me, he said he was going to be famous but he was thinking “hockey” 🤣 this is far better to be adding to his crown all for Gods glory! I pray constantly for believers and churches around the world to awaken their sleeping hearts. If we can’t stand in the name of Christ right here right now where will we be judgement day... I don’t want to hear “depart from me I never knew you”. thank you again I just love all the girls I have heard from that are from around the world... I support all of you in this struggle as well🙏
@@lindakerr9251 i am in Edmonton. Born and raised. Baptized 20 years ago and was a son of perdition for most of it. When the govt shut our churches i started missing the fellowship of believers, and like I took it for granted. When I saw that Brother James went to jail, i felt so guilty that I wasnt in there with him. I am happy to see he was released. God bless your family. Tell James that he is not alone. We will all be persecuted for His Holy Name.
@@darnellpistachio2991 thank you so much...just knowing we are not alone supporters around the world❤️ God is so good to us at GraceLife and after what happened yesterday it’s scary yes but it’s just a building! I was so much like you grew up in church was baptized in my teens and took everything for granted I had a foot in both worlds and it destroyed me. It didn’t even take shutting churches down for me to realize what I was doing. I moved here from S Ont 2 yrs ago to be w/ the kids and would not want to be anywhere else right now even as chaotic as things are. Realizing after hearing James preach and what I had gone through back home I was not saved at all😢 last summer I had the opportunity and privilege to be baptized by my son in law❤️ I am so proud of both James and Erin because nothing absolutely nothing they have gone through is about them it’s about Christ and his “bride” and shepherding the flock that he loves. Yes we will be persecuted...they hated Jesus they will hate us 😞Not sure what our next few wks will be like now we don’t have a building but would be glad to have you join us and introduce yourself... I have connected w/ a couple people over utube from Edm who now attend... what a blessing and a joy to know people are so hungry to hear the truth of the gospel as it marches forward all for his honour and glory 🙏 Kenny and Hinshaw and Trudeau can take our building but it is only a building! Praise God he is sovereign and still on his throne and in control 💕
Your daughter and son-in-law are exemplary human beings and Christians. We pray for them at our church all the time and we are so proud of them.
We may be weak, but remember He is strong. He's given us his authority. Luke 10.19

I was born again and I didn't even know what born again was. It is real. Praise Jesus!
