Glorious Weakness
As a girl, Alia Joy came face to face with weakness, poverty, and loss in ways that made her doubt God was good. There were times when it felt as if God had abandoned her. What she didn't realize then was that God was always there, calling her to abandon herself. In this deeply personal exploration of what it means to be "poor in spirit," Joy challenges our cultural proclivity to "pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps." She calls on readers to embrace true vulnerability and authenticity with God and with one another, showing how weakness does not disqualify us from inclusion in the kingdom of God--instead, it is our very invitation to enter in. Anyone who has struggled with feeling inadequate, disillusioned, or just too broken will find hope. This message is an antidote to despair, helping readers reclaim the ways God is good, even when life is anything but.
MASTERING AND DEFEATING WEAK POINTS
Writing about himself, Apostle Paul said, "But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified" (1 Cor. 9:27). He said, "I discipline my body." This is noteworthy! Somebody disciplining himself! And Jesus Christ says that the flesh is weak, while the spirit is willing. Have you ever asked yourself why you do some things which you do not want to do? It is because even though your spirit is willing and wants to please God, yet the flesh and body is weak. And we are speaking about mastering and defeating weak points. If you master a weak point and defeat it, with time it is supposed to cease from being a weak point in your life.
