Wednesday, September 04, 2013 The gift of Satan 2CO 12:7-10 NLT even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud. Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. ------------ We've all heard it before but why didn't we recognise it for what it says. God gave Paul an extraordinary vision of heaven. It was so miraculous he's not even allowed to talk about it. 2CO 12:4 NLT that I was caught up to paradise and heard things so astounding that they cannot be expressed in words, things no human is allowed to tell.
