A matter of fact

 

2 Corinthians 12:10 

10 Therefore I am content with weaknesses, with insults, with troubles,

with persecutions and difficulties for the sake of Christ, for whenever I am weak,

 then I am strong.

 

Paul did not will to be weak but in his human frailty,

he understood God’s purpose ... although he could not see.

The accomplishments of his life as such he never comprehended

but after he departed God made “His” writing alive indeed.

 

“His” pen brought to life more knowledge through the Spirit

glued into one with paper ... words were written by the Blood.

God’s Grace and strength overcame all his infirmities

although some stayed around ... just for his own good.

 

Paul showed the believer in ways and Who really mattered.

Choosing the Power of God is what it’s really all about.

The choosing of suffering and as this companion’s weakness

fulfilled the requirements for the enemy to lose clout.

 

The devil won’t fail to act whenever the will is passive.

When he gets the opportunity he steps in really quick.

As he has dominion when your will is on his side

and it won’t take very long before you’re spiritually sick.

 

You are well protected if you reside with God.

Evil cannot touch you ... only pester your flesh.

If the flesh has no dominion in the life you lead,

all things work together for good ... always for the best.

 

There is a law to everything in nature and in the natural.

There is a spiritual law also ... that cause has an effect.

All actions have results which are established by the Maker

for all things in the universe ... and that’s a matter of fact.

 

God is abiding by the law that He established Himself.

Jesus came to fulfill all of it and paid the price in full.

Willfully to break the law or even unintentionally

will reap corresponding consequence and that’s always true.

 

If a man exercises his will and cooperates with God.

If with all his mind and strength he hungers for righteousness

God’s Spirit will then start to work hand in hand with his,

for this too is the law ... set deep in God’s Holiness.

 

To cooperate with God and living your will to Him

To use all your abilities ... to serve Him in truth

So to be filled with His Holy Spirit and His Love

will replace your old mind with Christ’s for sure.
