Ecclesiastes 4:10
Every woman has her very own tailor-made infirmity – her place of weakness. Whoever you are, the enemy has been studying you all of your life-spying on you, checking you out figuring out which temptation will work best on you. He’s not going to bring you ice cream if you like chocolate candy.
He knows your weakness, maybe better than you do, and he knows what is most likely to tempt you to sin, worry or doubt.
In case you haven’t experienced this truth yet, let me tell you that church people are prejudiced when it comes to sin. They tend to classify sin in two categories: accepted and unaccepted. if they can relate to your sin – if your weakness is not the same as theirs-it will be unacceptable. In fact, you’ll probably be condemned without benefit of judge, jury, or trial.
We all tend to gravitate toward people who have similar infirmities and there’s danger in that. If we hang around people who are just like we are, we become comfortable calling right wrong or thinking the abnormal is normal. We feed the sin in them and they feed the sin in us.
We help their weakness continue, and they help ours. Instead of healing one another, we make one another worse. In the mercy of God plan, He brings people into out lives who are strong in area where we are weak and people who are weak in area where are strong. That way we can truly help one another and bring balance to the body of Christ.
When Satan sends his demons out to oppress you, they already have a portfolio on you. They know exactly which buttons to push and exactly which order to push them in. they know particular infirmities. Those demons knows if your father never liked you and if your mother was partial to your older sister.
If your boyfriend rejected you and started going with your best friend. If a teacher said you were stupid and would never amount to anything. Those demons have an entire profile worked up on you so that they won’t have to waste time experimenting on which temptations are going to work best. They know just where you are vulnerable.
In the beautiful old King James Version of the Bible, Jesus said the woman with a spirit of infirmity, “Woman, thou are loose from thine infirmity” Luke13:12). Jesus knew exactly what was wrong with her. He new the very weakness that had her bound up and bend over.
He knows about your infirmity, too. His word to you today is , I’m going to loose you and set you free.” Get ready for him to do it.
