2 Corinthians 12:1 - 8


1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory.
I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago,
(whether in the body, I cannot tell;
or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; )
such an one caught up to the third heaven.
3 And I knew such a man,
(whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; )
4 How that he was caught up into paradise,
and heard unspeakable words,
which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 Of such an one will I glory:
yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
6 For though I would desire to glory,
I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth:
but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above
that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through
the abundance of the revelations,
there was given to me a thorn in the flesh,
the messenger of Satan to buffet me,
lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice,
that it might depart from me.




Today's Prayer...


Lord God Almighty,

Your eyes watch over the whole world.
We come before you with the evils that surround us still clinging to us.
Shelter our lives in your hands.
Give us your strength to win through,
even in suffering and need.
For we are yours,
O Lord our God.
You have chosen your people to strengthen them
and to free them from all evil.
We beseech you to help us.
May we feel your presence among us.
May your Word bear fruit in us to the
everlasting honor of your name.


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
