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!

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.

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 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 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!

@@williamwei9524 .hi there,the discovery of the empty tomb, many scholars believed there is no suggestion that the tomb was discovered by different witnesses on four different occasions, so it is in fact impossible to argue that the discrepancies were introduced by different witnesses of the one event; rather, they can be explained as four different redactions for apologetic and kerygmatic reasons of a single story originating from one source. Matthew wrote.. the risen Jesus met the disciples only on a mountain in Galilee, but Luke says.. he met them at a meal in Jerusalem on the very evening of his resurrection, after which he took them on the road to Bethany, where he rose bodily to heaven. Meanwhile, John’s was loosely based on Luke but contains elaborations of Luke’s account, including two meals in Jerusalem and a later meeting by the Sea of Galilee. Mark originally ended his story at verse 16:8, with no evidence of the risen Jesus.. scholars have concurred that the ‘Long Ending’ verses 16:9-20, which corrobate somewhat with Luke’s account, was added much later. Even for the birth of Jesus, there are contradictory accounts.. Luke's infancy narrative is not only massively different from Matt's, but also in details, e.g., about Joseph and Mary's home (in Bethlehem in Matt 2:11; in Nazareth in Luke 2:4-7, with no home in Bethlehem) and about their travels after the birth of Jesus (to Egypt in Matt 2:14; to Jerusalem and Nazareth in Luke 2:22,39),,,,as far as i know trinity is an old worshipping for some an ancient egyptians who were ezice,authorice&hurce afterwards as a result church had abducted the notion.no orginals for manuscripts that`s what priests had admitted in addition many scholars including bart ehrman who was orginally christian,the original bible should be written in an aramic which is is basic language of jesus,jesus never bring the bible,the authors of bibles never contemporary to jesus,nomenclature of bibles by authors means bible is man made,how often does bible revised,peace,hope i helped

Thank you for letting God use you in a powerful way. I have been struggling with faithfulness and am no stranger to sin. I have belonged to word of faith churches most of my adult life and have been let down because as I said I belonged to word of faith. Not faith in word. There was a time that I was a pastor and ended up walking away from the church altogether. This is a whole other story, but to give a short answer as to why I walked away its because I lost my faith. When this happened I was slowly drawn away from My Lord, or so I thought. I believe now that it was God leading me into a place where I was so broken and so weak I couldn't stand on my own. Let me correct that, I believe that it was God allowing the evil one to lead me as I followed. Kind of a Job moment, we all have them, some worse than others. Anyway I digress, I did that a lot as as pastor. Bet your glad you are listening to Pastor Washer and not me. Sorry doing it again. Alright long story short I did make it back again. Yes Back to where I was and that is not where I needed to be. God has a better plan. My wife and I never did find a church family and that was a true sadness and a deep loss for us. We fellowshipped together and with friends but it was never anything real for us, we felt a terrible separation from our father or at least for me, I cant speak for my wife. She cant speak for herself now because I lost my wonderful beautiful wife of more than 30 years in September. Anyway I said that so I can try and tell the rest of this story without digressing to much. After she passed I was and to be honest still am very lost. Just when we think that we are back on track we find out that we never really made it back to the track to finish the race. Sometimes the road to weakness is longer than we expected. Sometimes your lowest point is just the beginning of being low. But remember low doesn't mean alone, just saying. I am still fallen and believe it or not I'm getting excided to hit the bottom to see how my Father lifts me back up, wherever He wants to use me is fine with me. Wow, this is getting long isn't it. Told you I digress lol. I told you all this to tell you a story, its something that I am seeing more and more when I look at this generation of woke and me to and good people of God being led astray because they are afraid of speaking up. It is time we come together in Christ to stand up for our children before this world takes them away. Teachers telling them to be ashamed of who they are as well as the fact that its ok if a girl feels like a a boy and vice versa and there is know way they can speak of our Lord or carry His word with them. Ok, sorry got on a soap box for a minute. Anyway I have been looking for a place to have fellowship with other children of God and I felt that He led me to this church where I live here in Seguin TX. But first I will tell you a story. lol, I know right! OK, with that all said there is something that I want to tell you all about. I have been praying about this very much. I have asked God to not use me as a messenger, yet here I am. Please be patient with me for a few minutes and PLEASE do not take this as an assault to the church/ congregation. Will tell you a short story to express myself. There was an elderly man on his way to church Sunday morning. This mans health is not very good, as he started out he went into a coughing fit and had to stop in the road and step out of his car and continue coughing/choking. A car came around the corner and stopped in the road to check on the man who was in great distress. These folks didn't belong to a church and were not on their way to one. After speaking with the man and finding out that there was really no way they could help short of getting him to a hospital they reluctantly went on their way. The man didn't want to go to the hospital as he already understood what was wrong with him and nothing that any man could do for him. After he was able to get his coughing under control, he continued to church having to stop a few more times before he arrived. Upon arriving to the church at 10:35 for the 11am service he started choking again, this time to the point that he considered going home. The man had to get out of the car and sit against the hood while he tried to get everything under control. He was having a very hard time breathing and was begging God ( Please God ) he was saying this out loud in the hearing of folks passing by. Two men were in the parking lot as he was asking God for help, they went around the opposite side as to not pass before him. Another couple parked in the outer lot stood talking to one another and as the 11 o'clock hr. approached they passed him by about 15 feet away so they could get inside the church to get seated as did many others. There were also people standing outside the door talking to one another as well as the gentleman that opened the door for folks going in. They were all able to see and hear his distress yet not one came to check on the man. My question is which of the people were being the good neighbor? I do understand that in today's world with Covid and who knows what else is out there that folks don't want to get too close to anyone having trouble breathing. However, being that they were outside and plenty of space between them, well, you know, just saying. I will say, as I'm sure you have already more than likely come to this conclusion, I am that man. I am 60yrs old and dying from heart and lung disease. There was nothing that anyone could do to help me, but that really isn't the point because they didn't know nor did they seem to care. I didn't say all this because I was looking for someone to feel sorry for me. I had already made the decision to go home as I didn't want to interrupt the service with my issue. However, until I got things under control again, I couldn't drive. This is something that I have been dealing with for a while and something I did to myself with prodigal living. My Father is not done with me yet or I would have been gone years ago. The sad part is that as I go the way of death in the flesh, I see so many folks that belong to our Lord and yet they are really in to much of a hurry to get where they are going that they forget or don't see what is happing around them or they are afraid of stepping out in faith. I think that they me be afraid of really getting into that personal relationship with our Lord Jesus and our Father as well as His Holy Spirit. It may be that the fear they have is what they may have to give up or lose if they have that relationship. But please remember while you may feel the loss you must look at the gain. Your walk is much less painful with His love surrounding you. Not pain free as this is how we grow. As a child we skinned our knees and as an adult we skin our hearts. The parable of the fig tree in Luke 13:6-9 is coming to light right now in our world. The man who owned the field went to the tree and it hadn't bore any fruit for three years, he told his worker to cut it down but the worker asked the owner to give him another year to dig around it and fertilize it. Then if it doesn't have any fruit cut it down. Being that we know the owner is our Father and Jesus is the caretaker. He is giving us a chance, maybe even one last chance to listen. The gate is truly wide but the path very narrow. And lets look at The parable of the wedding banquet. The king came in and noticed a man without wedding cloths and asked him how he got in without wedding cloths. The man was speechless. Do we want Jesus to ask us where our wedding cloths are and do we want to be left speechless? I am praying for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, not only for every church but our nation. So many people think all we need is to believe and then we can then go and watch, listen and do what ever we want. We can laugh at inappropriate jokes and actions of others. We all need the Spirit of God to fall on us in a big way, this includes myself. Again please try not to take offence to any of this or to just brush it off as the ramblings of an old man. As I always told anyone when I preached to large or small crowed, believe nothing of what I say as I am just a man like you. But take it to God in His word and see what He has to say. Also, ask yourself one question, is it really once saved always saved? Just saying. This turned into a letter and was not wrote out of any sort of malice just out of love for a fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Daniel 12:3 those who are wise will shine the brightness of heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. This is you Pastor, you do lead many to righteousness. I very much enjoyed this sermon and will be spending more time watching. Promise I wont comment, well at least no as much any way lol. Sorry about all this but for some reason I thought I needed to say this all. Maybe it was for me to write and here myself read it aloud, lol. Just wanted you to also know that at the beginning of the story I spoke about the folks that stopped to help not being church folk. I was not just guessing that, you see I was them at one point of my life. It took the lose of everything I loved for me to truly see that all I had lost was never mine to begin with. It was His to freely give and to freely take away and as Job said who am I to take the good and not the bad. Love to you Pastor. May this closing find a peace in your heart. His peace be with you Your fellow brother in Christ Jim

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
