“I Told You Messenger was of Satan! J” (Ha, ha)

2 Corinthians 12: 7: “To keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of satan to buffet me – to keep me from exalting myself!” How serious is the Lord about keeping you from exalting yourself? So serious that He’s willing to use satan to get His message across! Self-exaltation (pride) has been the downfall of ministries, movements, denominations, churches, and oh so many lives. Some say pride was the downfall of satan himself. Whatever, as St. Paul says here, whatever it takes to overcome it, it’s worth it!
