God's True Glory In the Earth
IS Us Giving To, For,
& On Others Behalf
Pain is the Process of Power...

This is what "bearing one anther's burdens" means. We stand in the gap and GIVE - what ever is needed - love first, then faith, or hope - we stand in the gap and be the "stand in" in all humility, because at the time they are not able to do it for themselves. There are many out there that can not GIVE because they are either too perplexed or they are too prideful. It takes humility to truly Give. As we stand in the gap and GIVE on their behalf FIRST, it will start the process of Grace in their lives. We do this for them until they learn that they themselves can Give in an infirmity. Remember when Paul asked God to take the thorn out of his side? God said, "My Grace is sufficient for you for My Power is made perfect in weakness." Then Paul said, "Then I would rather Glory IN my infirmities - SO THAT the Power of Christ may rest upon me." Paul was "weak" or humbled. So we humble ourselves and Glory or Give in an infirmity especially when it hurts and then His Grace/Power shows up. We can be the one to Glory or Give on others behalf in the time of their need when their faith would wavier because of fear. His Glory = Our Giving to,for, and on others behalf... We ARE FREE to Give!
For if I desire to boast, I shall not be foolish. For I will speak the truth. But I spare, lest anyone should think of me as being beyond what he sees me, or hears of me; and by the surpassing revelations, lest I be made haughty, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be made haughty (prideful). For this thing I besought the Lord three times, that it might depart from me. And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness (humility). Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may overshadow me.Therefore I am pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am powerful.
2 Corinthians 12:6-10 MKJV
You see, we do not have to be bound to thinking that we are suffering even if we are. God is trying to get His power to us - the anointing - the ability to be made into His image and step into our calling. We just gain an understanding that we have the power to choose our reactions and our actions to what may or may not be happening at a heart level - this is maturity - this is Christ like. His Grace allows us to be able to choose our reactions and actions in any circumstance. We have all been trained to complain when things are going "wrong" I would say, everything is actually right all the time. This is because God is working things our for our good and His Glory. The "going through" infrimities and things that purplex us is the technique God usues to humble us and to access our hearts. Hard times should humble us. If hard times make us angry or make us "freak out" there is pride present. The quicker we humble ourselves the quicker the "trial" will be over.
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:27- 31 MKJV
