How exactly is weakness a good gift? A conversation with Eric Schumacher - Podcast Episode 211

I think the spirit was telling me I was becoming weak. God brought me to this podcast. God bless you.

What a comfort this podcast is. I thank God for you.

The Bible says in our weakness He is strong, so yes this makes sense...Help us all Lord to be powerful in your might! The battle belongs to the Lord!

You'll never have the joy and peace of God until you accept that we can't be sinless this side of life and fully grasp that Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe.

Thank you for this, GQ. 😊🙏 also, the meek shall inherit the earth.

As a side note to the authors situation it is called Spiritual Warfare and your thorn very well could of been depression, although I think of it as OPPRESSION!

Interesting topic

Because God answered Paul’s plea by mentioning His Grace, I believe St. Paul might have been experiencing a sin, temptation, or moral failure or weakness? A thorn in the flesh. The fleshly mind?

I have admitted my weaknesses and beg God for His strength for years now as it drags on. I was very ambitious, strong, self sufficient and a workaholic. I had a family. Now i am divorced due to my ex wifes serial cheating for 25 years. Lost my career and can't find a job for 3 years now because of the covid fiasco. My kids are drug addicts and alcoholics. I could go on to all the awful things that have happened to me and my family the last 5 years but the point is Im facing poverty, sickness and death as I watch my family turn their backs on God. My heart is utterly broken and I have no strength left to hardly get up. Weakness at this point in my walk is highly over rated. Its miserable and I prefer death. I just want to be home with the Lord. This world has nothing left for me but heartbreak, pain and weakness to the point of crawling. I really don't see God giving me any strength for anything at this point. So I can't understand how His strength is made perfect in weakness, sorry. I don't get it.
