Want To Show You Power

1 Corinthians 2:2-6

"For I resolved to know nothing (to be acquainted with nothing, to make a display of the knowledge of nothing, and to be conscious of nothing) among you except Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and Him crucified.

And I was in (passed into a state of) weakness and fear (dread) and great trembling [after I had come] among you.

And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit and power [a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them],

So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men (human philosophy), but in the power of God.

Yet when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a [higher] wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away."

Paul was telling the Believer's about wanting just to know from them what they knew about Christ and what did they believe. He said I choose to show you about Jesus' love and power by demonstration. Doing this, so their faith would solely lie on Christ's abilities in them to move on the behalf of setting every captive free from either false teaching about Him, or no teaching at all about Him.

Psalms 13

Psalm 13

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

​HOW LONG will You forget me, O Lord? Forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

How long must I lay up cares within me and have sorrow in my heart day after day? How long shall my enemy exalt himself over me?

Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; lighten the eyes [of my faith to behold Your face in the pitchlike darkness], lest I sleep the sleep of death,

Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed over him, and those that trouble me rejoice when I am shaken.

But I have trusted, leaned on, and been confident in Your mercy and loving-kindness; my heart shall rejoice and be in high spirits in Your salvation.

I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.

Son Time

Luke 13:22-25

["Jesus] journeyed on through towns and villages, teaching, and making His way toward Jerusalem.

And someone asked Him, Lord, will only a few be saved (rescued, delivered from the penalties of the last judgment, and made partakers of the salvation by Christ)? And He said to them,

Strive to enter by the narrow door [force yourselves through it], for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.

When once the Master of the house gets up and closes the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door [again and again], saying, Lord, open to us! He will answer you, I do not know where [what household—certainly not Mine] you come from."

Jesus, Son of God, says to the people around Him a story that is Picture Perfect in telling us all... Be ready when He comes, by opening up yourselves to His Lordship.
