What to Do When God Says No - 2 Corinthians 12

Send us Fan MailWhat do Christians do when God has the power to answer a prayer, but His answer is no? In 2 Corinthians 12, Paul shows us that unanswered prayer does not mean we lack faith, God lacks power, or God has stopped loving us.But here’s what most people miss: God may be accomplishing something in us that is more important than our immediate comfort. Paul pleaded with the Lord to remove his affliction, but God answered, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.”In this teaching on 2 Corinthians 12 explained, David explores Paul’s thorn in the flesh, strength in weakness, unanswered prayer, endurance, spiritual authority, and the difference between spiritual experiences and genuine spiritual maturity.You’ll learn:Why Paul’s suffering did not disprove his callingHow God can use affliction to develop spiritual maturityWhy mature faith does not depend on receiving the answer we wantHow endurance demonstrates spiritual authorityWhy revelations and spiritual gifts are not proof of mature characterHow God may use resistance to make us strongerGod may not always remove the trial, but He promises that His grace will be sufficient in the midst of it.Continue the conversation and grow with other believers in the Estero Ekklesia Skool community:https://www.skool.com/estero-ekklesia-1658Support the Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2394920/support Support the show
