=== In Weakness Comes Strength (02:19) ===

[00:00:00]  I know the Holy Spirit is emphasizing this.
[00:00:03]  Yes.
[00:00:05]  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.
[00:00:13]  Wow.
[00:00:14]  That's God.
[00:00:15]  Something happens.
[00:00:17]  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.
[00:00:25]  Imagine what it was like.
[00:00:28]  For the 120 gathered there in the upper room.
[00:00:31]  This Jesus that they had followed, loved, listened to, was now physically not there anymore.
[00:00:39]  They had his promises, but they didn't have anything to hold on to in the natural.
[00:00:44]  It looked like everything could shut down.
[00:00:46]  It looked like they could be taken over.
[00:00:47]  It looked like any wind of anything could sweep them away.
[00:00:52]  But by the mercy of God, it was the wind of the Holy Spirit that blew in there as they gathered in as one.
[00:01:00]  I love what happens next because I'm seeing this even as Pastor French was talking.
[00:01:07]  We know that Peter got up and gave the message with the backing of the 11.
[00:01:11]  But the first thing he did was quote the prophets.
[00:01:16]  Think about this.
[00:01:17]  What a beautiful picture of what the PTL network is.
[00:01:21]  In the weakness came the strength and came the unified voice.
[00:01:27]  But from that, the prophet Joel was proclaimed.
[00:01:31]  And this is what it was said in the prophet Joel.
[00:01:33]  What a beautiful picture of what the PTL network is.
[00:01:37]  That from the different streams, perhaps in our weakness, in our weakness, we've come together.
[00:01:44]  And by the power of the Spirit of God.
[00:01:46]  You see, out there on your own, you may feel like I'm weak on my own.
[00:01:50]  I've only got the $30.
[00:01:51]  What's $30 going to give?
[00:01:52]  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.
[00:02:02]  And just like on the day of Pentecost, we can start proclaiming what the prophet said.
[00:02:07]  This is what is necessary.
[00:02:08]  This is the new thing.
[00:02:11]  Because the prophets have never had a platform by which to speak.
[00:02:15]  Mondo, this is what I know the Lord has raised the PTL network for.
