He uses the weak
One of the reasons that many of us are not used of God today is because we’re too strong. Have you ever stopped to think about that? We’re actually too strong for God to use us. And He can’t use us when we’re that; it’s out of weakness we’re made strong. And God has “chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty.” Here’s Moses, and Paul the apostle too, and if today you are willing to be weak and recognize you’re weak and will let God move through you, it’s amazing what He can do through a weak vessel. Most of us, may I repeat it, are too strong for God to use us.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee
John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.
After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.
He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. J. Vernon McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.
On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
