“Accepting What God Allows” (2 Cor. 12:7-10)
Rev. Dr. Isaac Holt, Jr. | Royal Missionary Baptist Church

What do you do when God answers your prayers with a no? God told Paul no when he asked Him to remove “the thorn in his flesh.” (2 Cor. 12:7-10) Paul’s response, according to Rev. Dr. Isaac Holt, Jr., was to see the thorn as a blessing, the thing “keeping his nose out of the air and his feet on the ground” and enabling him to be so powerful in his ministry. Listen as Rev. Holt explains how “when God gives you something, it’s to help you better serve Him.” We believe God with you that God is about to speak a word that is especially for you.
