' So I’m not defeated by my weakness, but delighted! For when I feel my weakness and endure mistreatment—when I’m surrounded with troubles on every side and face persecution because of my love for Christ—I am made yet stronger. For my weakness becomes a portal to God’s power. I have become foolish to boast like this , but you have forced me to do it, when you should have boasted in me instead. For there is nothing I lack compared to these “super-apostles” of yours, even though I am nothing' 2 Corinthians 12:10-11 (TPT) When I survey the wondrous cross it keeps my thoughts in perspective. How can I not find joy through my troubles when I know that God has sent them in order to keep me grounded in Him. I am dependent on You Lord. I am made stronger when I submit and turn my cares over to Him, they all become a great portal to God's power. So, why not be delighted? I am but a fool for You Lord. I have become foolish in my boasting of You. I can tolerate th

'G et rid of all the old yeast; then you’ll become new dough, just as you are already a people without sin’s leavening influence. You see, the Anointed One is our Passover lamb; He has been sacrificed for us.  So let the real feast begin. Get rid of all the old yeast, the yeast of hatred and evil.

It is the spirit in the Church that tolerates sin that is to be purged so that we may become that for which we are to be, unleavened. For Christ was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace fell upon Him. With His stripes we are healed. Amen. When we begin to think that we've got it all figured out, there's cause to worry. Pride raises her ugly head. Spiritual pride soon enough creeps in. False doctrines and their false teachers are not to be tolerated. That's when we say

'This is My command: be strong and courageous. Never be afraid or discouraged because I am your God, the Eternal One, and I will remain with you wherever you go.' Joshua 1:9 (VOICE) After Moses's death, God spoke directly to Joshua, that he was to lead his people, enter the promised land, divide it up and occupy it. He gave Joshua the exact same commission that He had given Moses. ' I have given You every place where the sole of your foot treads, just as I promised Moses.' With full faith and confidence that God would be with him and that He would never fail him or abandon him, Joshua, on authority of God, obeyed.  Dear Father.  We see your mighty hand at work everywhere. We believe that You are the same today and always. We believe You when you speak to the one and that You are no respecter of persons. You called us out of be leaders, to understand and to live by Your Law. You command strength and courage in us. When we are weak, You are strong. W
