22-1010P_PERFECT STRENGTH BY PERFECT WEAKNESS PT.16 (THE WORD IS OUR STRENGTH)
2Co 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
2Co 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Psa 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
Psa 27:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
Psa 27:12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
Psa 27:13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Psa 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psa 71:11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
Psa 71:12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
Psa 71:13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
Psa 71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
Psa 71:15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
Psa 71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
Psa 71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
Psa 71:18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
Psa 71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
Psa 71:20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
Psa 71:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
HE IS GOD OF OUR STRENGTH FOR SPIRITUAL. HE'S GOD OF OUR STRENGTH FOR OUR PHYSICAL.

God taken the body of Christ and set it on His right hand
of power above, and He sent the Holy Ghost back. And It's going around, looking
out the Church. And
when they come together, it'll have to be the same body, same signs, same
wonders, same baptism, same signs and wonders, same Gospel. Amen. That's right.
ABRAHAM_ MACON.GA WEDNESDAY_ 55-0608
E-42 Notice. When He made the covenant, and He confirmed it there, later on, Abraham
went on. Glory to God. And after that experience he really had the victory
then. He got to be ninety and nine years old, almost a hundred. God appeared to
him in the Name of the "Almighty God."
The word comes from the word, the Hebrew word, "El
Shaddai," which means "the breast, the bosom of a woman." El Shaddai, the Almighty, the Strength Giver, the Nourisher. Like the mother to the baby. When the little baby is fretting and sick,
the mother pulls it up to her bosom, and it nurses her strength and her life
into it. And another thing it does, it means He's a Satisfier. While the
little baby is nursing, it's satisfied while it's a nursing. It ain't well yet,
but it's satisfied as long as it's a drawing from the mother. And God is El
Shaddai, the Bosom, not one breast, two breast.
He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we
were healed. He is God of our strength for
spiritual. He's God of our strength for our physical. And no
matter which one you need of it, move up to the breast and take a hold of it,
God's Word, and go to nursing from It, you'll come back to health and strength.
The strength of the Holy Ghost lays in
God's promise...?... Take up there one time and take a hold.
Brother, I'll tell you; you see a little baby crawl up in his
mammy's arms, he's just as satisfied. I don't care how his little tummy's a
hurting; it's all right as long as he's nursing from mammy.
ABRAHAM_ MACON.GA WEDNESDAY_ 55-0608
E-43 And I'm telling you, a
believer that once takes a hold of God's eternal Word for a promise, if
anything come or goes, he's satisfied. He's
laying right there, nursing away, pulling the strength right out of God. "By
His stripes we were healed. "Wounded for our transgression; with His
stripes we're healed," pulling down the blessings of God,
satisfied as he's laying there.

*AND GOD, WHEN HE GAVE HIS PEOPLE THE BEST THING THAT HE COULD TO COMBAT
SATAN WITH, WAS HIS WORD.
THE.CONTEST_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-7 MONDAY_ 62-1231
10 Now, this great contest has been going on
for many years. It started in heaven, and Satan was kicked out into the earth,
and then he become a enemy to God's people. And since then, he's used all of
his strength and his strategy to try to pull God's people across the fires, or,
into his fires.
And we know that Who has the most power: God does. And
God, when He gave His people the best Thing that He could to combat Satan with,
was His Word. Now, because the Word is God, and who's stronger than God? So the Word is God, and the Word becomes our Strength. God in
the church, becomes its Strength to pull Satan to his own fires that he has
made. And the tug goes on.
THE.CONTEST_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-7 MONDAY_ 62-1231
12 Now, Jesus said, in Mark 16, "In My Name
they shall cast out devils." Now,
I know that's an old saying that people--or, there is an old saying that... And
it's not so old either. People don't believe in demons in this day. But the
thing to do, to my opinion, is know your enemy. And--and know your enemy, and train for the contest that you're
going to have when you meet him, because you're going to meet him. And know him, know his, know what his
strength is, and then train for this contest when you do meet him. For it's
one thing sure, you're going to meet him. And so you train for the contest.
Now, training for a contest is just like a boxer. His--his
enemy that he's going to meet out there in a contest to fight, a real good
fighter usually knows and studies his opponents, studies his licks, knows where
he fights for, whether he leans forward, hangs back, fights right-handed or
left-handed. He studies all this. And then if he's a
good, smart fighter, he gets him a sparring partner that'll fight just like his
opponent fights, for he'll know all of his licks when he gets to that place.
THE.CONTEST_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-7 MONDAY_ 62-1231
14 And I think that's a very good thing for Christians to do. That's right. And now if you want to start training, start with John 3:16, the Golden Rule. Start right out with that, and that'll get you on the floor. And then train for the--for the knockout punches, because you're going to have to use them. Everybody knows that. You have to train to hit your enemy. And always, God uses His Word. We must remember that God uses His Word to defeat His enemy. If God could think or could've give His people anything better to defeat the enemy with, He would've done it. So as I've always said, "When God makes a decision, that's the best that there is. He never has to alter His decisions." So the first decision God gave His people in the garden of Eden to combat the enemy, was His Word. They were fortified with His Word.

15 And now, the enemy is going to study the--our a-strategy
with the Word. And
now, Satan studied that all out so perfectly, till when he come to Eve, he had
the--the best a-strategy he could use upon her, and that was to reason with the
Word. Now, you never want to reason
with God's Word. Just believe It. Don't try to explain It. Don't try to figure
It out. Now, you cannot figure out
God, so God is the Word, and It's just made to believe. And that's our
Strength, just accept the Word. And anyone knows that a seed in the right kind
of ground will produce its kind. And we just take the Word.
