This is something that I believe will bring peace to every person who has ever looked at their own weakness and felt disqualified. Who has ever looked at their shortcomings and thought: maybe I am not the right person for what God promised me. Maybe I have too much going wrong to be used like that. Maybe my limitations are too great.
I want to speak directly to that thought right now — and I want you to hear this all the way down in your spirit. Your infirmities are just as great as your anointing. In fact, it is your infirmities that turn your anointing on.
God gives you weakness on purpose. So that neither you nor the world will be dependent on yourself. So that you always have to look to Him, because He is going to carry you to the right place. Your shortcoming is not your enemy. Satan is your enemy.
Even your weakness is not your enemy. Satan is your enemy. And 2 Corinthians 12:10 says, “When I am weak, then am I strong.” The moment you stop fighting your weakness and start trusting the God who works through weakness — everything changes.
The anointing is not looking for perfection. The anointing is looking for availability. And the more you yield to God in your weakness, the more powerfully He moves through you.
Think about how that works in Galatians 2:20: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.” I — with all my limitations, all my infirmities, all my human weakness — I am crucified. And in my place, Christ lives. Not a weak Christ. Not a struggling Christ. The Christ who defeated death, who conquered the grave, who sits at the right hand of the Father with all authority in heaven and on earth. That Christ lives in me. And when He is the one living and moving and working through me, my infirmities become the very stage on which His power is displayed. My weakness becomes His showcase.
Somewhere, somehow, at some point, all of us have frustrated the grace of God. But you are not going to frustrate it this time. You are not going to shrink back this time. You are not going to circle the same mountain this time. You are growing. You are being promoted. You are accessing the fullness of God’s grace on a daily basis.
This is a divine setup of your kingdom status through your connection with Jesus and all of His manifestation on the cross. Everything was manifested on that cross for you. Failure is not in your vocabulary. Faith erases failure.
