The Power of God

PASTOR Pastor Eduardo Alves WAS PREACHING TODAY AT ADORACION CHURCH:
The Power of God
God knows us well, as we are, although we sometimes hide some of ourselves from the people around us, there is no way to hide something from the eyes of our Lord, He created us and knows perfectly well what our strengths are and what our weaknesses
"He said to me: My grace is sufficient for you; for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I will gladly rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. "2 Corinthians 12: 9

God allows our weaknesses
And so that the greatness of the revelations did not exalt me exceedingly, I was given a sting in my flesh, a messenger of Satan who slaps me, lest I greatly exalt myself. versiculos 7
Why does God allow weaknesses? The apostle Paul recognizes in today's reading that men tend to boast and open the door to haughtiness when we begin to be successful and even more so when we feel blessed by God in everything, it is easy for us to forget the grace of God when everything we are doing well

God is the solution to our weaknesses
Concerning which three times I have prayed to the Lord, to remove it from me. And he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you; for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I will gladly rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me verses 8-9
There are weak areas of your life that exist in you for the sole purpose of experiencing the power of God in your life, in other words, those weaknesses and temptations, you can never overcome them without the help of God! They are in your life so that by giving control of your life to your Savior

The Power of God in our weaknesses
1. Be part of your daily prayer to ask God for His grace and power to face your weaknesses and overcome all temptations that come. If you abide in God, his grace will remain in you.
2. If you are going through weakness take a few minutes with a genuine, transparent and repentant heart to speak with God, expose before Him how you feel, ask for his strength and wisdom, take care of Him and persevere in pleasing Him.
3. If your weaknesses are out of your control, approach leaders in your church or people who love God close to you for help, all members of a body from time to time need the support of other members to be healed .
Something of what I have learned during my Christian life from personal experience is that the words that Jesus once said about being separated from Him could not do, they are true! And I have seen it in the area of weaknesses and temptations
