In this message, Pastor Byron continues in 2 Corinthians 12, teaching two additional reasons why Christians suffer: for the demonstration of God’s power and for dependence on God. He explains that God’s power operates in its fullness when believers have none of their own strength left, using Isaiah 40:31 to illustrate how those who wait on the Lord exchange their weakness for His strength. The sermon emphasizes that true spiritual power comes through weakness and humility, not through self-reliance or human cleverness. Pastor Byron teaches that Satan is actually being defeated when believers feel weak and helpless yet turn to God in dependence, and concludes with the powerful testimony of Tom Hawker who demonstrated God’s sufficient grace even while being burned at the stake.
