"I want you to give me the thorns of meat in me to prevent me from worshiping me through rich revelation, I want you to be the messenger of Satan, that I will eat of me" - 2 Corinthians 12: 7, (They say, to help you better understand how the translations translate the beginning of this verse, they say, as Christians, we live in the world of God I like to truly pay attention, praise and praise.In the verse above, Paul received a special gift that can accept God's revelation.
The second episode is about the apostle Paul. Three times, he asked God to remove the thorn in his flesh, but God did not approve of his request. We do not know what Paul 's physical thorns are, but one thing is certain - it is a great pain - we make him very weak. This is a big pain he can not handle by himself. Unlike a bloody woman, Paul did not get what he wanted. The beauty of his story is that he got what he needed. Paul continued to suffer, but this did not prevent him from experiencing Jesus' healing. At that weak moment God gave him power; such a mighty power made it possible for him to turn all sufferings into the power of God and proof of glory. (2 Corinthians 12: 8: 10)
I often think about the apostle Paul and its meat's thorn. He asked God for probation so as not to be useful. But in his weakness, the power of God is revealed. Maybe the thorn of my flesh is that ... I have enough meat. I may not be a thin girl I want to be. But maybe, God wishes to use me. Perhaps I want to teach and guide other people regardless of the way they accept me. Perhaps, could God use my honest struggle to help those who feel they have no hope? Maybe God can take 5 breads and 2 fish This is my body Is it my wish to serve him and use them to make it impossible?
Paul expresses the burden imposed by God as "a thorn in the flesh." Pastors, scholars, and theologians leaked a cup of ink to discuss the thorns in the flesh. There are all kinds of unique explanations, but there are two possibilities which makes the most sense. Because this thorn is "physical", it may be a physical illness. Or, when you consider the historical situation that resulted in the writing of this letter, Paul might actively use "physical thorns" as a metaphor to explain false teachers actively destroying him . According to the rest of the book, the latter explanation makes the most sense.
