Conclusion

==This week, make one decision purely because the Word said so.==

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

What is the outcome?

  • Baptism in Holy Spirit
  • Lay hands for a fresh encounter
  • Confession for a release of Grace
