When I Am Weak, You are Strong
Summary of this message first... then you can read the
details, if you like to...
If your soul is feeling HEAVY and or SORROWFUL, and you feel
like those in your own household that should be helping to “lift” you up and
“watch and pray” for you, just keep letting you down... .....
... Then know that so did Jesus as He had to go to the cross,
baring HIS CUP unto completion and VICTORY.
(Mark 14:33-42)
SO here is what you do... Go to the Father and ask, seek and
knock... acknowledging HIS Ability and Willingness to Deliver you and relieve
you from this pain. But if this is a Cup that is not of your own doing and
burden, but rather HIS PURPOSE and REASON... then Ask HIM for understanding,
and willingness to get through it successfully.
God our Father doesn’t want you carrying a load that is
unnecessary. So draw close and see
what’s up. Sometimes it is what you have
put on yourself somehow. Sometimes it is
what someone else has put on you and you need the Father’s
direction/instructions and prayer for you to get it off you, and let HIS JOY
spring forth. “...my yoke is easy, my
burden is light...”
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and
lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is light.
God Loves You, and Jesus did not go through all that sorrow
and pain for no good reason. Seek His
Kingdom and Righteousness, then all that you need, He will Provide. Keep the Lord FIRST. Acknowledge Him in all your ways. FOLLOW Him, and Ask, Seek, and Knock for HIS
DESIRES in your life. Thank the Lord for
ALL that He has done!
Be Real and Honest, but be Willing to Change as the Lord
reveals Himself in Your Soul. HE is Head
of the Church, whom you are...and we are HIS Body.
Ephesians 1:22-23 And hath put all things under his feet,
and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body,
the fullness of him that filleth all in all.
So Pick Up Your Cross and Go. Or put down your cup and Ask God to Give You
His Choice that’s perfect for You. Go In
His Peace. Amen.
Now, to those that want to see more in this passage....
In Mark 14:33-42 Jesus had selected certain disciples to go
with Him to pray and watch. This time, Jesus
didn’t go off by himself, nor did He tell everybody what was about to
happen.
Jesus was FEELING HEAVY and SORROWFUL IN HIS SOUL. And He had selected James, Peter, and John to
go and pray and watch for him, as He went and prayed to the Father privately
about His Cross to Bare.
Clearly in verse 38 Jesus says to them, as if explaining the
importance of having them with him to pray and watch.... yet they didn’t see
the importance at that time... still Jesus' confidence was in the Father to
succeed in the operation of the Father for the Son to taste of death for us
all, and deliver us from sin and its affects, and the devil too!
Jesus Knew the Importance, yet still sought the Father to
deliver Him. It was as if Jesus wanted
to ask Him if there was anyone else that could do this...but HE WAS THE
ONE. Yet, the ones with Him couldn’t see
the Heaviness and Sorrow that Jesus’ soul felt at that moment. So Jesus told them...”my spirit is ready”
...His Spirit is the Father and He was ready to Deliver us all from misery,
sickness, captivity of all that sin, death and the devil had put us in. Jesus was Willing to Do the Father’s Will...
but He admitted that “my flesh is weak”... He wanted to see if there was
another way to do this and not have to feel the Pain of being separated from
the Father. He was about to endure the cross. But He put his flesh emotions
under the SPIRIT which is the Father in Him...casting down all imaginations,
thoughts, and anything that would try to exalt itself above the will of the
Father. It was Time to Complete the
Father’s Work. Thank you Abba Father and Son, God’s Chosen ONE and LAMB!!! Now Eternally Done!
2 Corinthians 10:5
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that
exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every
thought to the obedience of Christ;
So IF TODAY You are feeling weary from the daily tasks, it is
okay to admit that to the Father, and Ask, Seek, Knock unto Him for the
Deliverance from that cup. Maybe that
cup isn’t necessary for you anymore, and maybe there is a BETTER Cup to
bare. Or Maybe this Cup is just what the
Father has Purposed For You to Carry and Bare, and you must continue knowing
that in Christ Jesus as your Head, you will always Overcome every thing that
tries you... for the Lord is making you stronger for His Purpose.
The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.... Hey,
sometimes your household may not understand nor be willing to “Pray and Watch”
with you...BUT THE FATHER IS HERE FOR YOU TO BE REFRESHED IN HIS SON, WHO HAS
ALREADY TASTED DEATH FOR ALL AND GIVES TO US ALL THINGS TO ENJOY. Draw closer to the Father for the Blood of
the LAMB abides In Your Soul and Speaks Clearly of the Lord’s Righteousness, so
You may Enter and Have that Refreshing with the Father!
With God the Father, ALL things are Possible, but seek, ask
and knock of the eternal things more than the earthly things. Your New Home is Righteousness, Peace, and
Joy in the Holy Spirit...and He lives in you now, so that you may know Jesus
and ABIDE IN HIM now and for all eternity!
Today is Your Victory...as You Abide in Christ Jesus! He has inherited it ALL and made you Co-Heir
with Him! HE is Your STRENGTH. Amen.
Mark 14:33-38
V33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and
began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
V34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto
death: tarry ye here, and watch.
V35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground,
and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
V36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto
thee: take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou
wilt.
V 37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto
Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? Couldest not thou watch one hour?
V38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The
spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
Amen.
