God's glory: By Many or by Few

God Desired to Preserve his Glory
God Devised a means to Preserve his Glory

1. God is sometimes pleased to use you and sometimes he will work without you. He works by many or by few. This is humbling. This kills boastfulness.

2. God works with those who are prepared…children who have strong faith, no fear, and who desire his glory.

3. God prepares you with strength, knowledge, and courage to do the task he has for you. You cannot be successful in your life fighting against rulers of darkness and children of the Devil if you are afraid or unprepared.

4. Let God prepare you with his Word and Spirit and strengthen your faith. Don’t trust your own skills or you will be shamed. To fight without faith will cause you to give up as soon as there is opposition. But if you are prepared…strong in faith…and you instinctively trust him… knowing he is your Lord and Savior, you will fight and bring glory to the Savior.
