‘Ministering In The Power Of God.’
2 Corinthians 13:3-4.
a) Every Bible Preacher or Teacher should know that Christ speaks through them.
b) Christ should be powerful and not weak amongst the people that hear God’s Message.
c) Christ was Crucified in weakness yet now He Lives by the Power of God.
d) Every Bible Preacher or Teacher is just a weak human being.
e) As Bible Preachers or Teachers we should be alive with Christ and having God’s Power.
(Through this QT I want to be Ministering In The Power Of The Holy Spirit)

‘Our Temporary Groaning.’
Romans 8:19-23.
a) Romans 8:19. For all Creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who His Children really are.
b) Romans 8:20. Against its will, all Creation was subjected to God's curse.
c) Romans 8:20-21. With eager Hope creation looks forward to the day when it will join God's Children in Glorious Freedom from death and decay.
d) Romans 8:22. For we know that all Creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
e) Romans 8:23. We Believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as His adopted Children, including the new bodies He has Promised us.
(This Second one really helps me to understand My Temporary Groaning)

Chris.
We know that all Creation is still in ‘groaning mode’ life is not always easy and as True Believers we are called to be Faithful to the Lord. Yes, I am frequently in ‘groaning mode’ but I look forward to the future day when I will groan no more and I will be in the immediate Presence of the Lord.
