The Power of Purity Podcast, Episode 286 - The Way UP is DOWN
The Kingdom of God is upside down… inside out… backwards… and paradoxical!
In the first part of this episode Tony shares a letter from a listener… and announces that the LIVE Pathway to Purity Intensive Workshop is officially scheduled for next month!
Tony then shares an amazing and mysterious principal of God’s upside down Kingdom… the reality that GOD’S STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN OUR WEAKNESS!
If you are struggling with your sexual gift in any way…
If you are struggling with internet pornography…
If you are acting out in violation of your confession of faith and your very own conscience…
If you are being controlled by sex instead of controlling sex…
There are two different ways to try to deal with this challenge:
(1) GET STRONGER (Let’s see how far this gets you!)
(2) GET WEAKER
The way of God… and the way of His Kingdom is this…
GOD’S STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN OUR WEAKNESS!
8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. II Corinthians 12:8-10
