When You Are Weak — Trust in His Strength
I heard The LORD say, “Some of you have said ‘This is my new normal.” (Meaning that you will accept a lesser quality of life).
“But I say to you “that I AM a supernatural God and I AM the God of abundant life!
It is not time to decrease but increase and not in your own strength but in Mine!
Let the weak say, ‘I am strong’ for My Strength is made perfect in your weakness!”
What Are You Speaking if You Are Not Hearing From God?
“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by The Word of God,” Romans 10;17 NKJV.
Faith Comes by Hearing the Rhema
Your faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
The word in the Greek here for “Word” is “Rhema” which means, “any sound produced by the voice — an utterance”.
In other words, it is not the logos — although it must line up with the logos, but it is the spoken word which comes by Revelation.
People want to believe that there is too much prophecy but if prophecy brings faith as when God spoke to Abraham and told him to look at the sands on the seashore, then I believe that WE ALL HAD BETTER BE BEING PROPHETIC!
If you are not hearing from God on a daily basis, what is it then that you are teaching or preaching?
Believing You Hear Will Move You to Action!
The world does not believe that people can hear from God because, after all, it is 2020, but then why, have we in the church been given the Holy Spirit?
And that is a problem.
If we do not believe God still speaks, then aren’t we speaking our own thoughts?
Personally, I believe that if we are not hearing from God and resounding what we hear, what are we saying?
God still speaks. and our faith will only cause us to move if we believe that what we are hearing is God.
he problem is that most people in Churches have never been taught that they can hear from God themselves.
Your faith depends on weather you believe that YOU are hearing from God and if you do not, there will never be any action put to your faith!
God still speaks, but do you believe He is speaking to you?
Your faith depends on it!
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might KNOW the things that are freely given to us of God.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned,” 1 Corinthians 2:7-14.

Rom 10:13-17
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
“Hear” in the Hebrew is Shama. In the LXX Akuo is used, as in Romans. Both carry the idea of not only listening but Obeying!
Rom 1:17, The just shall live EK/out of, Faith
Faith is energized through, DIA, Agape, Gal 5:6.
A side “Note:, Long story short, I was studying verses in John about Jesus being “sent”. I looked up the meaning of “Sent” in Online Etymology and found something interesting.
The Ancient root meaning for “send” is the word “Sent, meaning ‘to head for, go”. Not a surprise. However, this same root “sent” is the root for “SENSE”. The original meanings of “Sense” are, perception, feeling, undertaking, meaning, to find one’s way, to go mentally”. This also refers to our FIVE(significant number) senses. HEARING is one of them! These meanings are not about casual hearing, but an active, keen, alert, way of hearing. This is why DISCERNMENT( Ancient roots = “sifting, distinquish, separate + off, away) is so important for His People, Jn 10). THE BRIDE WILL KNOW HIS VOICE! How can She prepare the Way of YHVH if She cannot HEAR HIM!? Is 40. The prophets of the OT, Jesus in the Gospels, and Paul, all HEARD the Lord. They are our examples.
Eph 4:1-16, Jn 17, Ps133, speaks of becoming One with Him and each other, and in this Oneness, we have all we need to be His Mighty Army.
Eph 4 specifically says we need to maintain the Unity of the Spirit in the bond of Peace, AND coming into the Unity of The Faith ( note previous verses and offices).
Look at Greek for “bond” v3 and “joined together” v16(part of this word has a tie in to LOGOS) and also carrys the meaning of being “compacted”.
Now to make the main point, I hope.
In the Plastics’ and Metal industries, there is a technology used to fuse or weld those materials together. It’s called Sonic or Ultrasonic Welding(See WIKI) It is the use of high-frequency(sound) ultrasonic acoustic vibrations that generates “ENOUGH HEAT”, not causing it to burn or be damaged,to WELD the two pieces together. The two become ONE!
Our HEARING AND OBEYING is key to becoming One with Him and each other. His Spirit, “where two or more are gathered IN HIS NAME”, and all that His Name stands for, now is ENERGIZED, applying the correct amount of His Fire, to make Us, with Him, One, for His Glory!! Jn 17:8(“words” = Rhema)-26.
