Why do you lack power? Why are you unable to walk in continual victory? Why do you not see fruitfulness? Because power, victory, and fruitfulness only comes to a person who is standing on resurrection ground.
He is not surprised or disappointed when you fail. Rather, He is waiting for you to fail so you will be reduced to Him. He has no illusions about you and He knows you through and through. He knows however much your spirit may be willing, your flesh is weak. Our weakness is not the trouble - the trouble is our unwillingness to acknowledge the weakness.
This failure of Self is the very key to living the Christian life.
To despair of ourselves is the very key that opens the door to all the power, the victory, and fruitfulness in Christ that we seek.
anything you do apart from Jesus will amount to nothing!
Let us embrace the Cross and glory in the Cross, for it is the power of God for our salvation. Amen.
