I want to share some of my thoughts

Yesterday I was listening to a sermon on ROKU (

then get the ISN app) and I heard a subject being discussed that I do not hear many people talk about. The subject was suffering. The speaker was the pastor of a church that had experienced a well know move of GOD, and he said 'a man of God once said that the more that GOD uses me then the less that I can enjoy it.' The preacher said that when the church had experienced a revival, he would wake up at night needing to go to the bathroom. He said that the presents of GOD would be so strong in the bedroom that he was to afraid to stand up...so he would have to crawl to the bathroom.

If you are wanting GOD to use you in a more powerful way then do not be to surprised when your life starts to be very different from people around you.

2 Corinthians 12:7-10 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Thorn in the Flesh

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to [a]buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
