I am only talking about spiritual leaders what they preach, not lay people.
Please reread what I wrote.
I said
That is who I am talking about. Paul was a spiritual leader. The Spiritual leaders are the ones that receive the abundance of revelations. Their the ones who need something visible to keep them humble.
2 Cor 12:7-9
7 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.
8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
9 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.
