Day 262 The Family Altar September 19 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities. (2 Corinthians 11:29-30) Paul said, When I am weak then I am strong. Yes, he said, Then I will glory in my infirmities of my weaknesses and so forth. Im thanking God that I got all of it out of me. And when I get everything out of me, then God can come in. But as long as I got some of myself there, then God cant get in. There, thats it; we smother Him out. We drive Him away, from the poorest of us to the richest of us, from the least to the greatest, we keep God out of our lives because of our ownselves. Ive often said, The greatest enemy I got is William Branham. Hes the one that gets in Gods way. Hes the one that gets lazy. Hes the one that gets to a place sometimes where he thinks he can do something about it, and when he does, that shoves God right out of the picture. But when I can get rid of that guy, when I can get to a place that hes out of the way, then God can come over and do things that William Branham knows nothing about. Thats when God can use you. Thats when He can use any of you. He can use anybody when we get out of the way. But as long as we got ourselves in the way, then we cannot. All right. Now, we find out, this great fellow, Paul, he was a prince amongst the preachers. He was respected by every denomination. That man couldve went to a city and had a meeting anywhere. Because why? He had credentials. Why, he was so great, and so determined to smash out all the people that was weak, until he got power from the high priest, the highest authority, to bind every one of them Christians. Political power from his church to bind all of them. Oh, he was strong. He could bind the Christians and throw them into jail because they wouldnt agree with him upon his theological doctrine, upon the doctrines of the Pharisees and Sadducees. He was binding the Christians. But notice him; he had to become bound himself so he could lose it, he could lose his strength and authority. He become bound himself to lose what he had power to bind with. He had to lose what he was in order to be bound. God passes the nobles. He passed the priests. He passed those who were arrogant and He chose Paul, this great man, and made him fall in the dust of the earth and do things like those others was doing. He made him act the same way that those he was arresting. He bound Paul by the Spirit of God to get him loose from the power that he had to bind Christians with. Tell me God dont know what Hes doing?
