True strength
Acts 2:9~11Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and
Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya
near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and
Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues! (11)

Everyone has limitations. However, children of God have the mystery to overcome these limitations.
This is prayer. Although difficulties and limitations approach children of God, there is no need to be
discouraged or worried. Instead, confirm that God has the power to overcome these limitations and
pray to receive God’s strength. How can we enjoy the true strength that God has given to us?
1. What kind of strength must we enjoy?
We must be able to enjoy the blessings that God has given to us in every field to which
we go. Even when we are faced with extreme circumstances, we just need to pray for the
kingdom of God to be established. Also, the Holy Spirit is with us 24 hours a day and when
we pray we can realistically experience the Holy Spirit leading us. We must remember
this truth every day and newly challenge with faith before our limitations. If you cannot
overcome your limitations, you will constantly be shaken.
2. Through limitations, you witness the power of God
Problems and difficulties are opportunities for us to experience the power of God and
transcend our limitations. If we overcome our limitations, we will be able to see the
spiritual facts that we could not see before. In addition, we come to see the time schedule
in which God carries out His works regardless of our limitations. At this time, we are able
to challenge towards world evangelization despite our difficult circumstances and our lack
of power. We just need to enjoy the blessing of the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, that God
has given to His children.
3. True answers will come
When you overcome your limitations through the strength that God provides, you
will receive the answer to change history. Simon the tanner, Lydia, Priscilla and
Aquila, Philemon and Gaius all received the blessing of finances enough to do world
evangelization. The Gospel will be spread to the entire world through the work that we
are doing. Also, we will testify of the power of the Gospel that we have enjoyed to the
next generation, and we will help the evangelist preach the Gospel in the field. When
we meditate upon the Word and pray, we will receive the answer of transcending our
limitations and enjoying the filling of the Holy Spirit.
