He has redeeming grace for your son, for your daughter. But first, breathe it yourself. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/good-wood-6657 2012-07-18T11:20:08-05:00 The fire turns spiritual wimps into spiritual warriors. So, rejoice as you see what you are becoming or can become through heat-treating, and only through heat-treating. You are becoming a heavy hitter in the hands of Almighty God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/seeing-what-your-opponent-sees-6431 2011-09-06T09:48:24-05:00 Find the scriptures that deal with that weakness as Jesus did, and be ready to quote the Word of God. Treat your weak areas with generous applications of the memorized Word of God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/the-radical-christmas-victory-plan-6249 2010-12-27T11:30:16-05:00 He chooses unlikely candidates and does mighty things through them - which means your inadequacy and ordinariness may be exactly what qualifies you to be a spiritual hero. According to Jesus, who is it that will "inherit the earth?" The mighty? No - the meek (Matthew 5:3). http://truewoman.com/?id=919 2010-09-08T15:28:17-05:00 It’s not that I’m surprised by my “little strength and ability.” In fact, daily those truths flash like a neon sign in my mind. What’s surprising is that the Lord doesn’t see them as hindrances. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%202:1-5&version=NIV 2009-10-05T16:58:56-05:00 Paul says that he has resolved to know nothing but Christ and the cross. He comes in the power of the Spirit rather than on his own knowledge. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2012:9-10&version=NIV 2009-09-24T14:21:20-05:00 It is a paradox of Christianity that true strength is found in weakness. Jesus himself embodied the world's idea of weakness, even to the point of submitting to an excruciating death. However, just as Christ's saving power worked through that "weakness," so God's power is often most visible in the midst of suffering, humility, and weakness. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2012:9&version=NIV 2009-09-11T13:12:08-05:00 God's power is most obvious not in the military might of a king or the pomposity of a church leader, but in the humility and weakness of average people. It is in the lives of the broken and downtrodden that His grace is most clearly visible. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2013:3-4&version=NIV 2009-09-03T10:42:51-05:00 God's power is nowhere more evident than in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which could not have happened if God was not powerful enough to overcome death and hell. If we look at the cross and see weakness there, we're missing the true strength that was at work behind the scenes. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/even-superman-has-his-kryptonite-9191 2009-02-05T14:36:47-05:00 I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and I am no Superman, but I understand the Kryptonite thing…that we all have some things that have repeatedly brought us down spiritually. And just like Superman, we can’t afford to get near our spiritual Kryptonite. The command in the Bible is, “Throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus” (Hebrews 12:1).
