In Weakness Comes Strength

| I know the Holy Spirit is emphasizing this. | |
| Yes. | |
| Because Pastor and I for sure didn't talk about this, but we all know that was in the studio audience at the last program we had just got through talking about that. | |
| Wow. | |
| That's God. | |
| Something happens. | |
| You all were talking about, Marisela, you were talking about how you all felt at your weakest when Pastor Jim had his stroke and then the opportunity came. | |
| Imagine what it was like. | |
| For the 120 gathered there in the upper room. | |
| This Jesus that they had followed, loved, listened to, was now physically not there anymore. | |
| They had his promises, but they didn't have anything to hold on to in the natural. | |
| It looked like everything could shut down. | |
| It looked like they could be taken over. | |
| It looked like any wind of anything could sweep them away. | |
| But by the mercy of God, it was the wind of the Holy Spirit that blew in there as they gathered in as one. | |
| I love what happens next because I'm seeing this even as Pastor French was talking. | |
| We know that Peter got up and gave the message with the backing of the 11. | |
| But the first thing he did was quote the prophets. | |
| Think about this. | |
| What a beautiful picture of what the PTL network is. | |
| In the weakness came the strength and came the unified voice. | |
| But from that, the prophet Joel was proclaimed. | |
| And this is what it was said in the prophet Joel. | |
| What a beautiful picture of what the PTL network is. | |
| That from the different streams, perhaps in our weakness, in our weakness, we've come together. | |
| And by the power of the Spirit of God. | |
| You see, out there on your own, you may feel like I'm weak on my own. | |
| I've only got the $30. | |
| What's $30 going to give? | |
| But I'll tell you what, if you have a whole group of people come together with $30, if you have a whole group of people come together with $50, that becomes the one voice. | |
| And just like on the day of Pentecost, we can start proclaiming what the prophet said. | |
| This is what is necessary. | |
| This is the new thing. | |
| Because the prophets have never had a platform by which to speak. | |
| Mondo, this is what I know the Lord has raised the PTL network for. | |
