    Grace: It’s So Much More Than God’s Favor

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 8, 2017
    based on 3 ratings

    In 2 Corinthians 12:9 the Lord tells Paul "My grace is sufficient." If God's grace is all Paul needed to deal with the messenger from Satan, perhaps there's more about grace that we need to know and understand.

    I have been reading 2 Corinthians 12 about the Apostle Paul and his pleading with God three times to handle “a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan” sent to stop him from preaching the gospel. The Lord’s response gives me goosebumps. “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for ...read more

    A few weeks ago I received a call from a young minister of the gospel who wanted to know my view on the subject of fasting.

    hang on to God when things don't change

    Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 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 .

    We base so much of our lives on our feelings about God, and wonder if God cares, does He have a heart for me. This message begins to look at that issue in our lives.

    BELIEVING and not BELIEVING The Heart of God May 21, 2017 We're in the final part of a four-part series I called Believing and not Believing. Our focus has been to look at obstacles, beliefs which are incorrect which ultimately lead us away from believing in God, even while we do believe. We’ve ...read more

    THIS THORN HAS A PURPOSE. The real revelation of suffering. God has a plan and a purpose. Suffering can reveal the heart OF MAN, not just the heart of God. Suffering can be a door to Presence of God. Suffering can be fertilizer for love.

    Paul’s life example ought to give us incredible encouragement to God’s power. We must submit under the GRACE of Christ before we can ever really live and must see ourselves for who we are before we can experience freedom.

    Like Paul, we all have a "thorn in the flesh." We can learn from Paul that God allows it, Satan sends it, and we can accept it. Because when we are weak, then we are strong, with God's strength on display through our weakness.

    2 Corinthians 12:7-10 When God Says No Have you ever received a “no” answer from God? It hurts, right? You think you know best, you really do. And then God says, “I don’t think so.” Well, it particularly hurts when you’ve been suffering, and not only does God not remove the suffering, but maybe ...read more

    This statement of the Apostle Paul, “For when I am weak, then I am strong” is confusing and difficult for many to accept. Paul was not anti-power or wanted us to be weak. He was a very strong man in many aspects of his life. What did he really mean?

    Sometimes God says no. When you are weakened by His answer, He will strengthen you by His grace.

    The late Chuck Colson of Watergate fame shared his experience when God said NO.
