God's Something Flows Through Nothings

God's Something Flows Through Nothings

by Lonnie Mackley

^{AC 4:13} When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

So, you have been what most people consider to be a big nothing all your life. Thank God for it because God always lets His something flow through nothings just like you and I. You may have led a very ordinary and uneventful kind of life so far and not accomplished much in the world's eyes except for maybe a lot of big failures, but guess what?; Failures are exactly what God is looking for in these last days to show forth His magnificent successes through.

^{1CO 1:²⁸ He chose the lowly things of this
world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, ²⁹
so that no one may boast before him.

   You see, God is not looking for superhero's in this last great revival to flow through,
He is looking for super-"zeros" to exhibit His power through, so that the people that see what He does will not look at us
as though we were great; but they will only look at Jesus and know that He is great. Be glad that you do not have much to
show for your life so far because now God can really do something great without your flesh or works taking all of the credit
for it.

^{2CO 12:}¹⁰ That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses,
in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

   God can flow through whomever He wants no matter what someone may, or may not have
accomplished in life, but the truth is we will all have to become weak in our fleshly abilities in order for God to show forth
His great strength through us. Like Joseph in the bible most of us have experienced many painful losses, countless
humiliations, and crushing heartaches, but it had to be that way in order for us to become truly humble and usable
vessels for God.
^{MT 10:}³⁹ Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever
loses his life for my sake will find it.

   In this last revival you will see God moving through many "nobodies" that nobody has
ever heard of before, with lives that have been less than perfect in many ways. Just very common people doing some
very uncommon things with God's power, in some very everyday places. Jesus deliberately made Himself
nothing so that we and others through us might experience God's something, so be glad that your nothing life has
prepared you to walk in God's power.

^{PHP 2:7} but made himself nothing, taking the very nature
of a servant, being made in human likeness.}
