10-15-2025 PART 3: Strength in Surrender

Section 1

The message begins with a call to humility in planning. The Lord makes it clear that when we move forward in arrogance, He works against us, not for us. True hope, the kind that honors God, is anchored in weakness—a paradox found in 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, where Paul declares that God’s power is perfected in weakness. Our strength in Christ emerges only when we recognize our dependence on Him. Planning, therefore, is not wrong; it becomes wrong when it excludes surrender. The call is to plan prayerfully, submit those plans to God, and let Him shape or stop them as He wills, remembering that divine partnership always begins with humility.

Section 2

Through personal testimony, the teaching reveals that this principle is not theoretical—it’s lived. From the early ministry days in San Diego to the years in Texas, every meaningful step forward came when the effort transformed from business to ministry, from self-direction to divine direction. When human control yielded to God’s guidance, doors opened unexpectedly and powerfully. The experience at KAAM 770 and the eventual rebirth of the ministry online became a living illustration of Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” It wasn’t intellect or skill that made it work—it was obedience, prayer, and complete surrender to the Lord’s affirmation and timing.

Section 3

The closing challenge is clear: plan with humility, partner with God, and pursue His glory in everything. Even small efforts—loving one another, managing homes, serving in church—must be done as unto the Lord. The goal is never personal success or recognition, but the glory of God alone, echoing 1 Corinthians 10:31: “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” The speaker’s transparent confession of weakness, need for prayer, and longing for unity captures the essence of genuine ministry: to walk in faith, serve with love, and let every outcome magnify the Author of life Himself.
