When I am weak I am strong - evangelical messages of God's word

Therefore, for Christ's sake, I am pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, I am strong. - 2 Corinthians 12:10

"I am calm. I'm calm. But when someone steps on my foot then I'm a beast. "

I believe we all either have said or have heard someone say those words.

In today's post we'll look at what the word of God directs us to do when we are being persecuted, insults or injustice.

Unlike what the world teaches us, the word of God tells us that if we want to be strong, we must be weak. If we want to be great, must be small. If we are to be exalted must humble ourselves.

Can not avoid. This kind of word cause us great discomfort. This state of non-acceptance has everything to do with our human nature and also has everything to do with what we learn in the world.

The world teaches us that if we want to be great must be the first. If we want to be strong we must have attitude, personality, be dominant, cold, cold, hard heart and so on. If we are to be exalted we should exalt ... And so it goes.

We as sons and daughters of God we must do our utmost to live well with everyone. However, this does not depend solely on us. As much as we seek to get along with everyone soon realized that this is completely impossible.

Therefore, though we fight a lot and we strive to live in peace with all people, always run the risk of being persecuted, misunderstood, unwanted or suffer various forms of injustice.

6 But instead, one brother goes to court against brother, and that before unbelievers!
7 The fact that there are disputes between means you have a complete defeat. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather suffer injury?
8 Instead yourselves cause injustices and prejudices, and that against brothers! - 1 Corinthians 6: 6-8

The word of God tells us that the fact disputes exist between us, fights, disputes, wars, disagreements and misunderstandings it should be for us a sign of defeat because it demonstrates that we are not really immersed in practice the word of the Lord Jesus Christ and yes, we're being mere listeners her.

I know it's hard. For all of us that word is too harsh. When we are attacked, provoked, wronged, harassed, persecuted our nature puts in our hearts the "tooth for tooth and eye for eye". We want revenge. We intend to give offense or irritation in the same currency, but the word of God is calling us to do something completely different. The word is calling us to turn the other cheek. The word is guiding us to endure all that harms us, offends us, attack us and humbles us for the Lord Jesus Christ.

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Try to do what is right in the sight of all.
18 Make every effort to live at peace with everyone.
19 Beloved, never seek revenge, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. - Romans 12:17 to 19

And now? How should we act when faced with this harsh but revealing spiritual reality.

Sisters and Sisters in Christ Jesus, no way will easily do what the word of God calls us, but it is possible. We should begin as soon as our journey in this direction, because when we apply these teachings in our lives we soon realized that our strength and our spiritual strength increase too.

The longer we delay this needed our learning will be worse for us because in this increasingly charged. We can not forget that the Lord Jesus Christ warned us about this when He said that the student is not greater than the master or when He said: If they persecuted me, they will persecute surely you will too.

Therefore, a good conduct on our part is, with confidence and perseverance, surrender into the hands of our God, the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit of God all our problems, conflicts, differences, grievances and disputes because, besides Him manage all our crises as anyone, He will always be our avenger. He will always be our great, exalted and fair judge. Amen!

I believe that practicing these words just commenting surely must be one of the biggest challenges for all those who one day decided to follow the teachings of the Great and Mighty Lord Jesus Christ.

For us all that we may seem very hard, very difficult and even impossible at first sight, but for our God there is nothing that He can not do or become.

So we must ask the Father, that the name of the Lord Jesus Christ He completely transform our hearts so that we can begin to practice patience, tolerance, compassion, mercy, trust in God, understanding and love, and so , truly live what our Great Master and Lord taught us.

Therefore, for Christ's sake, I am pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, I am strong. - 2 Corinthians 12:10

When offering more opportunity for the Holy Spirit of God dwelling in us completely dominate our flesh, more free, we'll be happy and blessed.

Amen and thank God. Stay in the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
