Pastor Rob's Notes

2 Corinthians 12:7-10

Five Responses to SILENCE

1. Remember what God has already said

Paul begged & pleaded with God And the word that's translated “pleaded” is the same word that is used to describe the way that Jairus asked for the healing of his daughter who was dying (Mk 5:23).

It was how a leper sought cleansing from his leprosy (Mk. 1:40).
And it was how a servant begged his master for mercy over a bill that he owed so that he would not be thrown into prison and separated from his family (Mt 18:29).

3. Continue listening for God’s voice

Paul said, “...So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.”

You want God to change your situation, but did you ever think that God has put you in that situation to use you right in the middle of it?

So don’t ask God to change things until you’ve looked for and found how you can minister in or be changed by the circumstance that you face. God doesn’t do anything without a reason!!!
