Power

God is 
All Powerful, 
if there is a weakness in my relationship with Him, it is me. Sin makes me weak,  and can hinder God's blessing of power to me. When I remove my sin, God can bless me fully with His power.
Bro. Freddie Mark Wilcox - Lifesong Baptist Church, Greenbrier, AR

When I first posted this blog, below is how it was published. I had texted, and received confirmation what I had written was correct. A couple hours later I received another text, after I had published the blog. I found out Bro. Freddie Mark was at a graduation when he received my text, and answered too quickly. He sent me a corrected version, and it is written above. Wanting to make sure I'd quoted him correctly, I felt it necessary to correct the blog. My shorthand did not do so well, as you can see. I think I got the point, but wanted to be clear in presenting what he was saying. While he used the words we, us, and our, I felt it necessary to change it to me, my, and I. The need to apply this first to myself came as I sat on the pew. 

I'll leave both quotes (correct and incorrect). Sitting in church the point stirred me, and I wanted to share it. 

God is 
All Powerful, 
if there are hinderances 
that prevent Him 
from His work 
it is my weakness 
in my sins.
Paraphrase by: R Tyler

(I felt it necessary to include both versions for anyone who might revisit the sight and notice the change.)
