Hello, My ECP family (and whoever else finds this message.) It's great to be in communication with you through this week's concise message for your edification and God's glory. Today, we will briefly discuss the issue of personal weakness(s) and how your personal weakness(s) can be your confidant meaning there is genuine probability to trust your weakness(s.) Live having faith in your weakness(s) and not living in discouragement because of your weakness(s.)
Your personal weakness(s) can trigger you into your personal destruction(s.) However, your personal weakness(s) does not necessarily create your personal destruction(s.) Actually, your personal awareness and acceptance (of your weaknesses) are substances for your personal peace and personal growth irrelevant of the specific manifestations that identify your personal weakness(s) - some general examples of personal weaknesses are sorrow, anxiety, hurt, unhealing, low self-esteem, lusts, etc. You can genuinely experience both personal peace and growth at the same time dealing with personal weakness(s.) How? The presence of God safeguards (protects you) from your personal weakness(s) triggering you into personal destruction. Therefore, it's extremely important for you to understand that your personal weakness(s) are not degrading which is a mentality that's conducive to your liberation dealing with your weakness(s) keeping you away from fear, shame, and questionings regarding your weakness(s.)
The below text does not indirectly or directly illustrate that Jesus was fearful or ashamed of his manifestations of being sorrowful and troubled which identified his personal weaknesses. Jesus did not question completing his assignment in the midst of his trouble and sorrow. His (Jesus) free expression and awareness of his weaknesses helped grow him into greater preparation for his upcoming experiences attached to his divine assignment of getting to the cross. Jesus trusted his weaknesses, he did not resist (fight against) his weaknesses, which inevitably did not resist (fight against) The Father helping him to get to the cross. He genuinely had peace in the midst of him being troubled and sorrowful due to knowing that The Father was his safeguard. His willingness to get to the cross exemplified him knowing that The Father would get him to the cross in the midst of him being personally weak while getting to the cross. He had no fear or no shame regarding his weaknesses in the midst of getting to the cross (his weaknesses identified his humanity and not degradation.)
So, My ECP family (and whoever else finds this message), God (through his spirit) safeguards (protects you) from your weaknesses triggering you into your personal destruction(s.) Jesus's weaknesses in the garden of Gethsemane were safeguarded from being triggered into personal destruction (no destruction, he made it to the cross.) Please do not view your personal weaknesses as something degrading. Why? Because Jesus did not view his weaknesses as degrading. I exhort you to accept your weaknesses without fear and shame because your personal peace and personal growth await you in your experiences attached to your weaknesses just as Jesus experienced personal peace and personal growth while at the same time being weak. In some aspect, all humanity will live with personal weakness(s), so hopefully this concise message helps you to live in greater victory with your personal weakness(s.) Remember, your weaknesses have genuine probability of being your confidant. Capture the goodness within your confidant - your weakness(s.)!
You and your families have an amazing upcoming week. It's so refreshing to be in communication with you all and love you all in Christ! ~ Charles L. Robinson Jr.
"Then Jesus went to his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, 'Sit here while I go over there and pray'. He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them. 'My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.' Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, 'My father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.' Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. 'Couldn't you men keep watch with me for one hour? he asked Peter. Watch and pray that you will not fall into temptation. 'The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.' Matthew 26:36-41
