    A Thorn In The Flesh

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Apr 21, 2022
     | 3,523 views

    Paul had a thorn in the flesh, a messenger from Satan sent to buffet him. God allowed it to keep him humble. God used the weakness in Paul's life to show His mighty power and majesty. God is able to turn our weaknesses to strengths if we surrender to Him.

    TEXT: 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 "And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

    Thank You Lord, For The Thorns That Hurt Us

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 24, 2021
     | 3,871 views

    No true child of God gets out of life without enduring some kind of pain, adversity, discomfort, or suffering. Each encounter we have with the difficulties of life need to be seen as lessons the Sovereign LORD teaches us to rely less on ourselves and more on His wisdom and grace.

    I've spent much time in thought and silent prayer, organizing in my mind and soul on how this message should be presented. I wanted to be certain that what I was about to say would be based primarily upon the Word of God and not merely a repeat of topics that I have covered in previous ...read more

    When God Says No

    Contributed by Brad Stone on Sep 19, 2020
     | 7,229 views

    We never like to accept a "No" answer in our life, especially in prayer, but the fact is that there are times God replies to us with a firm No because He wants to reveal to us a deeper plan.

    When we were children, we never liked hearing the word 'No' when we ask our parents for something. We felt as though our every wish should be granted. If you say otherwise, we can pray later. Frankly, as adults, we feel the same way. We do not like to be told no in regards to ...read more

     | 2,516 views

    Paul had a serious illness. He did not mention what it was. He prayed for healing, but God decided not to heal him. So, what did he do? Did he get upset, resentful, or discouraged? No! Through him, we must learn these important lessons on gradual healing.
