Zac Poonen - How God Enables a Believer to Prophesy
Summary
The central message is that God uses our trials not only to strengthen us but also to prepare us to comfort others in their own afflictions. The speaker emphasizes that God will never allow us to face a trial beyond our ability, citing 1 Corinthians 10:13. Furthermore, true endurance in trials comes not from our own strength, but from humility, as God promises grace to those who humble themselves.

God uses trials and affliction as a divine 'school' to build believers, teaching them to depend on the Holy Spirit rather than mere knowledge. The strength gained through these trials is not for personal comfort but so that the believer can effectively strengthen and teach others who are also going through hardship. Ultimately, God's kingdom requires believers to be broken of self-confidence, recognizing that all true fruitfulness comes from remaining connected to Christ.
