God Is Creating Weakness In Your Life - Paul Washer

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. 🙏

[@GhostMonkey772]

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!

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!

Weaknesses are good. They humbles us and forces us to depend solely on God. When you depend on God, your weaknesses turn into strength.

[@karanpatel3001]

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.

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!

[@elliesilva1907]

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.

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.

Christ saved me from drowning while others watched helplessly.

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!
