The CONSTANT BATTLE IS FOR YOUR GOOD!

The CONSTANT BATTLE IS FOR YOUR GOOD!
In the core or every believer is a weakness that remains from the cradle to the grave. It is the part referred to as human frailty. "I have chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and I have chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;"

1 Corinthians 1:27 KJV If you say, "I don't have a weakness,  you are the weakest of all", because "pride goeth just before destruction, and an haughty spirit just before a fall." Proverbs 16:18 KJV

Your weakness is a blessing and does several things:

(1) It keeps you close to Me and "trusting in Me with all your heart; and not leaning to your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5 

(2) It is a constant reminder that, I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me cut off from vital union with Me you can do nothing." John 15:5 AMP

(3) I use it to keep the playing field level, then "if any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, those who are spiritual, who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit, can set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority. Doing it with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on your own weakness, lest you should be tempted also by your weak area.

(4) It is the a hidden foundation for humility, known only to you and Me, and to those whom you choose to reveal it. It remains, to keep you from being highminded, and gives you a healthy fear of falling: [21] Listen: if I spared not the natural branches, the Jew, take heed lest I also spare not you, a gentile. [22] Knowing who you really are with your weakness, helps you behold My goodness and severity: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in My goodness: otherwise you also would be cut off. [23] And they also, if they get over their unbelief, shall be graffed in: for I am able to graft them in again."  Romans 11:20-23 KJV

So here is the center of the matter: The more kingdom revelation you have, the more you will be lifted up by men and it is natural to feel elated, but this natural feeling of elation can easily turn to pride, and be your downfall. In order to prevent this and "to keep you from being puffed up and too elated by the greatness of kingdom revelation, there remains a thorn (a splinter) in the flesh, a weakness, that will harass you, to keep you from being excessively exalted. However you can rest in the fact that,  My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you, and sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the weakness manfully; for My strength and power are made perfect and show themselves most effective in your weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 AMP

In order to continue the walk in revelation knowledge, your path will become extremely narrow, because you are accountable to walk in the light you have received, as a forerunner. Your human weakness is a guard rail, forcing you to keep your eyes on Me, because it is a constant battle against the flesh! It will serve as a reminder that you are totally dependent on Me, and only I am able to keep you from falling.
