The Power of the Name

"We must take it as a settled thing with God, that that to which we shall have to come and from which we shall never escape if we are to know anything at all about the power of the Name of Jesus, is that we shall have to learn the meaning of weakness, we shall have to come to the place of conscious weakness. It will have to be settled in us that weakness is essential to God; so far as we are concerned, weakness is indispensable, weakness is complementary, weakness is divine strategy, and is God's opportunity. If that be so, then our eyes, our faces, our direction will have to be toward glorying in weaknesses that the power of Christ may rest upon us. It is easy to talk like that. Words of that kind can slip through our lips, but it may take us decades to reach anything like a situation of that kind."
