What about Paul’s thorn in the flesh? He prayed three times to be delivered, but it wasn’t God’s will to do so. Or did Paul just not know the secret words?

i have been having some very difficult discussions with God such as:

You created this world and You also created satan knowing he was going to turn against You and wreak havoc in Heaven?

You created Man and put him here in satan’s jurisdiction knowing satan would torture and torment your creation whom you claim to love?

Why? How does this help your plan? Why do good people pray for years and why are you hiding from them? Why do the the evil prosper?

Paul’s thorn in the flesh was not sickness. The thorn was “the messenger of satan sent to buffet him”. He also said the thorn was sent because of the “abundance of revelation” given the Apostle.

A careful study of Scripture teaches clearly that the work of Christ on Calvary was complete indeed; and that He bore not only our sins, but our sickness also in His Body. All who sought healing from Jesus received. He never told anyone it was not His will. Never.
