★☆★ Transcript for this Paul Washer sermon.
I am so tired of hearing Christians telling me, "Brother Paul, I'm just so weak." And you say, "Well, Brother Paul, "you started your sermon saying you were weak. "So why can't we say it?" Well I want you to understand the phrase and the context of it.

First of all, you're not weak. And I can prove it to you. In the last week, W-E-E-K, how much time did you spend grasping and striving to know God and his word and in prayer, knowing that apart from God and his work on your behalf, you weren't going to be able to make it?

Oh, see it's really easy to say, "I'm so weak." Your problem is not that you're so weak, your problem is that you think you're strong. And I can prove it by just looking at your devotional life. You see, our problem is not that we're too weak. Our problem is that we do not recognize our weakness. Do you see that? That's why the greatest men and women that have been most used of God through Christian history seem to have only one thing in common: a recognition of their weakness.

Now here's what I want to show you and it's so, so important. Weakness is not a hindrance to power. Weakness is the catalyst to spiritual power. The problem is wrong response.

So first of all, you need to recognize something. Everybody's weak. Everything that is demanded of you in the New Testament is absolutely impossible for the natural man. There you go, so now everybody's on the same level. Me, you, Spurgeon, John Piper, all of us, everyone's weak, that's it.

Now you can't use weakness as an excuse anymore because everybody's just as weak. No one can do this stuff, no one. So there you go, we're weak. The question is, what do we do? Many people just mouth weakness because it's the Christian thing to say, "I'm weak." Other people find it very convenient to use that phraseology, why? 'Cause they can use it as an excuse for their sin. "Well I'm weak," everybody's weak.

But the right mindset here is in recognizing your weakness, it drives you to God, immediately to God. Believing in faith that He's the fountain he claims to be, that He's the source and the Helper that He claims to be, that He is one of unlimited resources, that He does not greedily hand out to His children, but He lavishes upon us.

So see, your problem is that you're really not recognizing you're weak. Or you recognize you're weak, but you just stay there in your weakness. The thing is, your weakness ought to drive you to God every time, but here's the problem.

Let's enter in with your heart condemning you and Satan helping your heart condemn you. You see, I have found so many people, I saw someone last night and I dealt a long time with them, precious little girl, she recognized her weakness. She recognized her frailty, she recognized her sin. She recognized there were some things in her life she couldn't overcome right now.

But here was her problem, she would see her sin and because of the work of the devil and sometimes our own heart condemning us, she would put herself in the penalty box every time that she sinned. “Well you can't go to God right now. You can't just keep running back to Him. I mean, “you sinned yesterday and you repented and asked for forgiveness. Now you've done the same exact thing today.” I mean, “you run back to him, you're just a hypocrite. You don't appreciate God, you don't have a high view of God.” “What do you think, God just hands out pardon to everyone?” And isn't that we do and isn't that what we think? We sin a sin that we've already sinned and repented of, and because of it, we think we need to put ourselves in a penalty box....
