It Is Not Just Enough, It Is More Than. . .
God’s Grace is enough, therefore through His Power - Yes I Can!
Grace is enough for Paul - Although he is struggling and is weak due to the heresy being spewed into the hearts and minds of the believers and they are receiving it.
It does not matter about how he feels because The Father Jesus The Christ has assured him to not consider that thorn any further because His Sufficient Grace is enough!
You have the sufficient elements and necessities to endure; knowledge of God, Hope, Faith, Love and Power to be able to stand in this latter days!
His Power is made perfect in your weakness - This is why, I believe, Paul says in Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
We are in a season of truly trusting God - do not look to the left nor to the right (literally)
Look to God - For He alone, in His Son, Thru The Holy Spirit, all in one, holds you, protects you, guides you, keeps you and strengthens you!
Although the weapons of the enemy may be formed against you, they may even be formed and not against you, but be rest assured they will not come near your dwelling!
Why? Because I dwell in the secret place of The Most High God! The Only Wise God, with all dominion and Power!
He has given us the Dominion on the earth - We must obey Him and be not like the children of Israel!
Despite you - (God is not affected by it. . . ) He still loves you - He cares! This is why, I believe, Paul was rejoicing in His infirmities, because he knew God would use the thorn for his good!
Isaiah 63:9 In all their affliction He was afflicted, And the Angel of His Presence saved them; In His love and in His pity He redeemed them; And He bore them and carried them All the days of old.
Paul was pleading with Christ to release the hold of this thing, but this thing that was buffeting him was actually keeping him in alignment with The Father!
God’s Sufficiency goes beyond what we can imagine - Sufficiency means giving what is required, enough - We can do that, as Jesus said; “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and render unto God what is God’s. . .”
I truly believe that Our Father is more than sufficient - I refuse to limit God to just being enough!
1 Kings 8:27 “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built!
He made us more than conquerors, that means He is more than!
I cannot limit God to my futile thinking in the flesh!
I must allow myself to become His Word, so that I can be empowered to keep on believing, keep on rejoicing, keep on having faith, even when the infirmities of life, are weighing heavy on me!
I must Power Through because I know that God has Pulled Me Thru!
I cannot stop now - although I am tired I am weak, burdened down!
But I have laid down my burdens at the feet of God!
He is a more than sufficient to carry all of my cares!
His Great Power is more than sufficient, He goes over and thru what seems to be barriers of strongholds against us!
But rejoice in the midst of it all because The Sufficiency of God is more than just enough!!
I believe that Grace is an attribute to influence and encourage us in the flesh, Grace shows you and I that regardless of what we have done, regardless of the mistakes, the wrongs, the evil thoughts, God’s Powerful Grace has redeemed us from the stain of that. . . Let it go!
Primarily why I do not mind that, I mind God!
Because The Blood of Jesus - Remove the crimson stain, washing me white as snow!
Therefore, my mind is changed, no longer do I contend with the thorn, God’s Got That, I rejoice and be glad because Daddy is more than sufficient!
He is Alpha and Omega - The Beginning and The End - He is Always Up - Even when He came down!
His Power Strengthens - Builds - Encourages and Lifts Up!
I cannot allow this natural experience diminish The More Than Factor of Our Father!
Yes, I have infirmities, shortcomings, fetishes, wrong thoughts, unholy feelings, doubt, and worry, but I do not acknowledge those things and give them power over me!
I acknowledge God, as Paul said; 2 Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
This may be a hard saying to perform, but when you know that God is more than!
When you know that His Will must be done!
So, it is not that I do not care about the circumstance, I just know that regardless of the insurmountable aspect of the circumstance, My Father, is more than!
He has given us a perfect strength, thru Jesus The Christ!
Stop settling for enough and being regretful because the thorn is still there!
Rejoice in knowing that God has given you Power To Be More Than!
Numbers 33:55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall be irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land where you dwell.
You have the power to do it! Put your hands to the plow and don’t look back, God has declared that everything you touch will prosper, In The Name Of Jesus !
Is there anything too hard for God? NO!
Therefore, lay down your burdens at the feet of God!
I know they are heavy, you are hunched over for trying to carry what God has already instructed you to give to Him!
He is The Burden Bearer, He carries the weight of The Thorn! Take your mind off the thorn and keep your focus on Me!
This is what I believe Christ is telling Paul and this is why Paul says he rejoice in it!
Because now I know, God, you are for me, as a Father carries His Children, Our Father carries us!
