This evening was day three for our class on "True Christianity" and one thing I wanted to bring out in this book that He taught us, was on strength. Especially sense I cannot live one day without the strength of God in me! I want to share this with you so that you can understand strength and the necessity of True Strength, which comes from God alone!
What exactly is strength?
- Wisdom,
- humility,
Being able to handle failure is a sign of strength (not giving up even though it gets tough).
- It’s not being ruined by success
* don’t allow yourself to become over confident
- The ability to cope with reproach
* be not governed by those who reproach you
- The ability to face the lose of something
- The mark of TRUE STRENGTH is to not be easily turned to the right or the left
- Having a right response to difficult and long delays
- conquering fears
* fear takes away faith and strength.
* The wrong fear can paralyze us!
* God wants us to overcome fear because it will keep us from entering into the fullness that He has for us and our inheritance.
- Properly handling injustice/hurt
* God is more interested in how we handle our self and attitude then anything else
- Our dependence is on God
* strength is not depending on our own strength
- To be whole hearted
- Fruits of the Spirit
I do hope that this makes sense and shows you your need for Gods continue strength each and every day!
God Bless
