Bring Me Your Weakness

When we feel afraid or incapable, we can just cry out, “Help me, Jesus!” He’s always with us!

In our weakness, we can lean into the strength of the Lord which will never ever fail. That’s where the peace is. In His arms.

Bring Me your weakness, and receive My Peace.

Accept yourself and your circumstances just as they are, remembering that I am sovereign over everything.

Do not wear yourself out with analyzing and planning. Instead, let thankfulness and trust be your guides through this day; they will keep you close to Me.

As you live in the radiance of My Presence, My Peace shines upon you. You will cease to notice how weak or strong you feel because you will be focusing on Me.

The best way to get through this day is step by step with Me. Continue this intimate journey, trusting that the path you are following is headed for Heaven.

Psalm 29:11; Numbers 6:24–26; Psalm 13:5

 “The Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with peace. — Psalm 29:11

Let Me bless you with My grace and Peace. Open your heart and mind to receive all that I have for you.

Do not be ashamed of your emptiness. Instead, view it as the optimal condition for being filled with My Peace.

It is easy to touch up your outward appearance, to look as if you have it all together.

Your attempts to look good can fool most people. But I see straight through you, into the depths of your being.

There is no place for pretense in your relationship with Me.

Rejoice in the relief of being fully understood. Talk with Me about your struggles and feelings of inadequacy.

Little by little, I will transform your weaknesses into strengths.

Remember that your relationship with Me is saturated in grace. Therefore, nothing that you do or don’t do can separate you from My Presence.

1 Samuel 16:7; Romans 8:38–39

“But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not consider His appearance or his height, for I have rejected Him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.’” — 1 Samuel 16:7

I am above all things: your problems, your pain, and the swirling events in this ever-changing world.

When you behold My Face, you rise above circumstances and rest with Me in heavenly realms.

This is the way of Peace, living in the Light of My Presence.

I guarantee that you will always have problems in this life, but they must not become your focus.

When you feel yourself sinking in the sea of circumstances, say, “Help me, Jesus!” and I will draw you back to Me.

If you have to say that thousands of times daily, don’t be discouraged. I know your weakness, and I meet you in that very place.

Ephesians 2:6; Matthew 14:28–32; Isaiah 42:3

“A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not snuff out. In faithfulness He will bring forth justice.” — Isaiah 42:3

Your Turn

In our weakness, we can lean into the strength of the Lord which will never ever fail. That’s where the peace is. In His arms.

When we feel afraid or incapable, we can just cry out, “Help me, Jesus!”

He’s always with us!

Signs from Heaven

,

There have been more earthquakes worldwide in the last fifteen years than in the other eight decades of the last century. New and powerful strains of bacteria emerge to mock the efforts of doctors to fight them. The people who fear the turbulent events of these times are those who do not understand what is happening -- but you do! These events remind us of our blessed hope -- Jesus will come soon to take His Church to heaven.

Rod Parsley

 

“Great earthquakes will occur in various places, and there will be famines and pestilence. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.” - Luke 21:11

 

Worldwide famine in these days when there should be none tells us that Jesus is coming.

The major wheat producers grow enough food to feed every starving person in the world, yet famine abounds.

There have been more earthquakes worldwide in the last fifteen years than in the other eight decades of the last century.

New and powerful strains of bacteria emerge to mock the efforts of doctors to fight them.

Jesus warned us that in these times men's hearts would fail them for fear (Luke 21:26), but He was not talking about you.

The people who fear the turbulent events of these times are those who do not understand what is happening -- but you do!

Every newscast that tells us of these events is a reminder to us of our blessed hope -- Jesus will come soon to take His Church to heaven.

Are you ready for His return?

Is your family ready?

Do you have a neighbor, friend, or work associate that you need to tell today about Jesus?

How tragic it would be if you looked over the abyss of hell at the final judgment and recognized a face of someone you knew on the other side -- spending hell in eternity.

Don't let that happen.

Tell someone you know today about Jesus!

Lord Jesus, give me the courage and the words to witness Your saving power this day. Amen.

Luke 21:11

Luke 21:26

Psalm 66:16

 

Rod Parsley has been clearly called to a pre-eminent position of leadership within the Body of Christ, as his numerous roles – including TV host, evangelist, educator, humanitarian and statesman – will attest. But he’d be the first to tell you that his prominence is solely a function of his willingness to be used by God in extraordinary ways.

He was 19 when he first led a Bible study in his parents’ backyard. In more than 40 years since then, he’s built one of the most important and far-reaching Christian ministries in the United States. He has founded and now leads outreaches with local, national and worldwide reaches.

This New York Times best-selling author has successfully advocated for federal legislation, delivered hundreds of millions of pounds of food and medical supplies to poverty-stricken areas of the world and changed the lives of thousands who will shape the cultural landscape in the next generation. He’s in constant demand to preach the Gospel in pulpits across America and around the world, and to comment publicly on the moral issues of our day. If none of those opportunities had ever presented themselves, though, he’d still be Pastor Parsley, sharing God’s Word with his beloved World Harvest Church, helping his congregation know God as he does.

His other ministries include Valor Christian College; Harvest Preparatory School, an educational institution for local students from preschool through 12th grade; Hispanic and urban-outreach ministries; a national ministerial alliance; Bridge of Hope, a world-wide missions organization.

Through Bridge of Hope, he hosts the television shows “Breakthrough” and “Rod Parsley Now” which air on the Word Network, Daystar and 1,400 other local channels and cable outlets worldwide.
