Protection From Deception
A quote from the audio series, “Protection From Deception.”
“God’s strength is made perfect in weakness.
When we have all the strength we need of our own, we don’t need God’s strength.
God has to bring us to the place where we don’t have strength.
I have seen in my own experience in ministry continually, if God is going to use me in any significant way He has to bring me to the place where I know I can’t do it.
Where I know I am totally dependent upon Him. That I am weak, then His strength is made perfect in my weakness.
Let me say something else in this connection.
I just discovered that the opportunities to serve God seldom suit our convenience.
Generally speaking, if God gives you an opportunity to serve Him, it will be inconvenient in some way. That’s to test the sincerity of your motives.
But if we want God’s strength manifested in our lives, in our ministry, in our congregations, we have to cultivate The Fear of The LORD.
We have to cultivate a sense of dependence, an acknowledgment of our total dependence upon God.”
