Voluntary Weakness, Humility, and Love

Weakness and Love

Strong on the inside
Christ in me.
Strength wrapped in weakness
Voluntary meekness.


Strength under control.


Like a muscle
That is kept
not flaunted.

Christ in me.

My glory.


Strength in me.
Authority.


Demonstrating strength
Made perfect in weakness.
Brilliantly perfected in weakness and love.
I will arise and go forth in the name of the Lord

Meekness.
Protection.
Humility
and Love.

Power released
Authority.
Healing.

Christ in me.

II Corinthians 4:7 "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us."

I Corinthians 4:20 "For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power."

Luke 12:32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom."

Matthew 16:19 "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."





I am...
a voice
a presence
a helper
a giver.

empty of self
full of love
ready to give all.

Made to be...

loved and enjoyed.

seeing.


being

occasionally speaking...

I am...
a prophet
an intercessor
a seer
a speaker.

Christ in me.

Walk in authority and holding the keys...

humility
meekness
wisdom
love.



Confidence

What is and will be.
Strength in weakness.

Humility

Being.




1 Corinthians 13



Love


1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
