2nd Corinthians 12:7-9
"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 buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 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."
Yes the body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, but the body still needs to be sanctified or made holy, AFTER the Spirit of God comes to indwell us, and the soul needs to be washed, this is called the process of sanctification. |
So my friend and Brother,
Do you believe Paul actually had a demon in his flesh? Are you sure that was not meant as a figure of speech? Was Paul himself so unsanctified he allowed a demon into his life? Is that what you are saying?
