You're listening to the Dope Daily Audio Bible, and I'm your guide Pastor Charlie Mitchell. And today we're looking at Second Corinthians chapter 12. Let's roll. Boasting is necessary. It is not profitable, but I will move on to visions and revelations of the Lord. I know a man in Christ who was caught up to the third heaven 14 years ago. Whether he was in the body or out of the body, I don't know. God knows. I know that this man, whether in the body or out of the body, I don't know, God knows, was caught up in the paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a human being is not allowed to speak. I will boast about this person, but not about myself, except of my weaknesses. For if I want to boast, I will be a fool Because I will be telling the truth, but I will spare you so that no one can credit me with something beyond what he sees in me or hears from me, especially because of the extraordinary revelations. Therefore, so that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me a messenger of Satan to torment me so that I would not exalt myself. Concerning this, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it would leave me, but he said to me, my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness. Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses so that Christ's power may reside in me. I take pleasure and weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and in difficulties for the sake of Christ. For when I'm weak, then I'm strong. I have been a fool. You forced it on me. You ought to have commended me Since I'm not in any way inferior to those quote unquote super apostles, even though I am nothing, The signs of an apostle were performed with unfailing endurance among you, including signs and wonders and miracles. So in what way are you worse off than the other churches? Except that I personally did not burden you. Forgive me for this wrong Look, I'm ready to come to you this third time. I will not burden you since I'm not seeking what's yours but you for children ought not save up for their parents, but parents for their children. I will most gladly spend and be spent for you. If I love you more, am I to be loved less? Now, granted, I did not burden you yet sly as I am. I took you in by deceit, Did I take advantage of you by any of those? I sent you, I urged Titus to go and I sent the brother with him. Titus didn't take advantage of you, did he? Didn't we walk in the same spirit and in the same footsteps? Have you been thinking all along that we were defending ourselves to you? No. In the sight of God, we are speaking in Christ and everything, dear friends, is for building you up for our fear that perhaps when I come, I will not find you to be what I want, and you may not find me to be what you want. Perhaps there will be quarreling, jealousy, angry outbursts, selfish ambitions, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder. I fear that when I come, my God will again humiliate me in your presence, and I will grieve for many who sinned before and have not repented of the moral impurity, sexual immorality, and sensuality they practiced. Let's pray. Dear Jesus, your grace is more than enough for us, especially when we feel weak, when we're broken down and we're burdened. Thank you for meeting us in our struggles, not with shame or quick fixes, but with the strength that can hold us up when we can hold ourselves together. Paul had a thorn, and so do we. Those things we wish would go away, but you use them to keep us grounded, dependent, close to you. Help us not to run from our weaknesses, but to let them point us back to your power. Teach us to say your grace is sufficient and not only say it with words, but actually mean it. Let your strength shine through our limitations and help us to boast not in our successes, but in the fact that you haven't let go of us even once we choose to rest in your grace today. Be strong where we are weak, be lifted up in our lives in all these things. We pray this in Jesus name. Amen.
