A Strong Spirit Will Sustain You
28
weak.” People think nothing about that. You hear it everywhere. Why would the enemy be
bringing these thoughts to people continuously? “We’re just so weak.” People don’t think
anything about it.
But, if you were to stand up and say, “I’m strong in the Lord.”
They’d say, “Whoa! What did you say that for?”
“Well, why did you say, ‘I’m so weak I can hardly walk today?’ Why did you say that?”
People think that’s normal. It’s normal if you want to be weak.
If you want something different, you’ve got to say something different. Life and death are in the
power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21)
Say this out loud:
“He makes me strong. He fills me with strength. He girds me with
strength.”
Glory to God!
Psalm 27:1 says, “The L
ORD
is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” What is the
understood answer to that? Nothing. Why? What does the next part say? “The L
ORD
is the
strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” I should be afraid of no one because He is the
strength of my life.
Close your eyes and say this out loud:
The Lord is the strength of my life.
The Lord is the strength of my life.
The Lord is the strength of my life.
The Lord is the strength of my life.
The Lord is the strength of my life.
He’s the strength of my life.
What if you said that night and day, no matter how you felt? “Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’”
What do the weak normally say? “I’m weak. I’m hurting. I feel bad. I don’t know what’s wrong,
I just don’t feel like doing it. I just feel so weak.” The Bible tells the weak to say something else.
The Bible tells you and me–if we feel or look weak, or if we are weak in the natural–to say, “I
am strong.” Now, that’s a very different thing from begging God to strengthen you. He never
told you to beg Him to strengthen you. He told you to say something. He told you to say that you
are strong. Am I quoting the Scriptures right here? This is right out of the Bible.
The Lord is the strength of my life. He’s the strength of my spirit. He’s the strength of my mind.
He’s the strength of my heart, my lungs, my blood, and my kidneys. He’s the strength of my
immune system. He’s the strength of my emotions. Never again say you’re weak in any area of
your life. The weaker you feel, the more you say, “I’m strong. I’m strong in the Lord. The Lord
is the strength of my life.”
