I went for a long walk this morning to clear my mind of the weapons of mass distraction and get focused on God again. What is my purpose in the earth for such a time as this... I believe the that people of God in the earth right now are a strategic people divinely placed by the hand of God. As I was walking, i begin to think about my muscles and how is often hurts when your muscles are being torn down in order to be built up stronger then they were before. Your pain has a similar purpose in the spirit, your weakness is not liability in God but a strength because then is when we remember that need God's grace to come on into our situation and cover us. Knowing weakness as a child of God should create a passion to press through the pain in order to build your spiritual muscles for the battles that lay ahead. So God doesn't remove everything that hurts us, sometimes the greatest lesson God that is teaching is faith through the ability to endure hardship as a faithful solider of the Cross. If your willing suffer for righteousness sake, then you one day reign with Christ also in glory.
2 Corinthians 12:1- I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.
7 because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
