Hi, approaching this subject, I’m seeing how this has gradually become a huge thing in our nation, maybe world. I have to say, for me personally, all of the things I have been through have actually saved me from being self sufficient. There was no way I could do anything by myself, so I didn’t have any choice but to have faith.
There is scripture to back this up.
2 Corinthians 12:9 But He said to me,”My Grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast more proudly of my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest in 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.
Maybe you are thinking, that’s not very inviting. I don’t want to be weak. It’s not saying that we will remain weak, it’s saying that in our own weaknesses is when He becomes strong! America has been so strong that we are thinking we can do it without Him. Sorry to say but I think that is a delusion.
I didn’t stay in all of these calamities and weaknesses that I was in, but they were all used to shape me and mold me into a person that is not strong in any way unless Christ is working through me. I learned not to hold ANYTHING very near and dear to me accept for Christ alone. Then I was ready to share what I learned with others. I know for a fact that none of it has ANYTHING to do at all with any of my strength. The only way I was involved was to keep seeking HIM and to not give up or turn away.
Anything that we have, our abilities, our brains, our looks, our money, our job, that makes us think we are strong enough without Christ or makes us think we are sufficient without HIM, is lying to us and tricking us.
If there is anything that makes us feel strong apart the God, we are being deceived… period. There is so much deception now, that to make a statement like that goes completely against what most people think. It’s hard for me to even type that out because so much opposition comes against it. But it is true. I cannot prove it other than you being able to see the miracle that happened in my life.
Our country has gotten lost from this. How long has it been since you read the 10 Commandments? That was what our nation was founded upon. The first 2 talk about what I’m talking about. I have to be honest and say these things. It’s why God let me live when the man had a knife to my throat. It’s my purpose and what I was put on this Earth for. For such a time as this.
I know it can be quite sobering, but I have to keep telling my story because I can’t risk losing my voice again. I’m responsible to help the one’s that don’t understand and have lost their way. The enemy wants me to be quiet but I can’t…
Can’t do it by myself!
You Jesus, are the one with the power!!
I love you!

This is so true! There are so many “good people” that think just doing good is all they have to do but they miss the point of needing a savior! This is so deceiving in our country right now with young people because they have grown up thinking you win even if you lost! We give them a trophy just for showing up to the race. You can really see it in all the people that can’t deal with how the election turned out, they are having grief sessions and can’t function. It is really not self sufficient but a lie they are believing. Without God we all are nothing, He is our creator, we wouldn’t exist without Him.
