2 Corinthians 11:23-33
1. What was Paul's experience?
Besides all the hardship, he face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. Who is weak, and he do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and he does not inwardly burn?
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
2. How did he overcome weakness?
"To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
"If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever, knows that I am not lying."
