Thrive Ministries International

The spirit of faith gives us a knowledge that we will be raised to be with Jesus and be present to Him with each.

What is the spirit of faith? What does it do? Because we believe we speak.

Paul tells us why he continues on. So that the life of Jesus could be manifested in us.

The treasure inside of us causes us to not be crushed, to not despair, to not be forsaken, and not be destroyed.

We have a treasure in our earthly bodies that is so valuable. It is the light, glory and power of God!

The glory of God shines in our heart. His glory shows us Jesus.

Paul preached Jesus is Lord. Paul tells the Corinthians about his ministry so they would know he was a follower of Jesus. He was also their bond-servant.

Paul tells us that the god of this world veils or hides peoples minds from the truth about Jesus. Repentance or a change of minds is needed to see Jesus.

In this verse Paul talks about man's responsibility. We must renounce the things hidden in shame, not walking in craftiness and the adulterating of the word of God.

Paul has received the mercy of God. Because of this he does not lose heart. When we neglect the mercy of God we will lose heart.

When the law is read it our heart but when we receive Jesus that veil is lifted and we are transformed into the image of Christ.

Knowing that the glory of God is in us causes us to hope. Hope than brings boldness to speak. Our glory is not fading away but us resident in us forever! The veil that separated us is gone!

The glory of the letter fades but the glory that we have in us as believers never fades. God's glory is His presence.

The letter kills us. But that is needed for us to see our need of Jesus. The Spirit gives us life.

We can do nothing in ourselves but we can do everything God asks us to do in Christ.

The Corinthians were not only a letter of commendation for Paul but also for Christ. When a person sees your life, does it say that Jesus is real?

Paul is teaching on the authenticity of his ministry. It is the lives that were changed and not the numbers that testified or commended his ministry.

When we follow God's direction he leads us in triumph . That cause everyone in every place to come to the knowledge of Christ. It is either death they smell or life.

Paul gives us a brief historical background into his writing of 2 second Corinthians. Where is Titus? Paul kept going not matter what happened.

In these verses the Apostle Paul teaches us what forgiveness does. Forgiveness takes away the advantage of Satan. We know Satan's devices
