Critical Issues Commentary | Secret Knowledge or God’s Word, Part 5 – Spiritual Currency or a Thorn in the Flesh @CICministry | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 23 hours ago.
In 2Corinthians 12 Paul distances himself from the heavenly vision because it was inappropriate to speak about it, yet NAR/charismatic leaders often boast in their visions and revelations. Bob DeWaay calls this the “currency” of their movement. Bob and Jessica go on to discuss the thorn in the flesh. The reason it was given is the significant part of this passage – to keep him from exalting himself. They encourage to appeal to God through prayer and trust in His provision - not seek forbidden knowledge.
