Messenger-with-message = Merely pointing out (condemning me) what I am without Jesus—Weakness!

The message of Jesus to Paul (us, you, me) = Yes—you are weak. Yes—you cannot meet your own needs. My strength to provide your needs is made mature (perfect) in your weakness.

The message of Jesus Vs. The message of the messenger of Satan.

Satan's message = Condemn me for the reality of who I am without Jesus.

Jesus' message = Uplift His POWER to meet my weaknesses with HIS STRENGTH (and His will and willingness to do so).

Thus—the message of Paul (by the Spirit) is clear: Paul rejoices DEEPLY in his own weakness in light of Jesus' power and strength and will to do for Paul what he cannot do for himself in ALL things!

Paul is pointing this out to us from his personal experience. Humility is seeking out how I am weak and how He is strong towards my weakness, which is GRACE! This is due to and based upon His love for us, for me, for you, for Paul. Love is the motivator. Jesus is Love. God IS LOVE! Love is God. Love is the PERSON of Jesus. His will. His actions. His strength. His power. His provision. ALL of this directed at HIS OWN—you and I, the church, the Bride!

REJOICE THEREFORE IN ALL YOUR WEAKNESS BEFORE MEN AND BEFORE THE LORD JESUS!

GRACE REVOLUTION!!!
