WATCH! DR. TONY EVANS PREACHED A POWERFUL, IMPORTANT, AND TELLING MESSAGE BEFORE HE STEPPED AWAY  FROM THE PULPIT TITLED: DEALING WITH A THORN IN YOUR SIDE — WHY GOD? “THE THORN IN MY FLESH” 

DANIEL WHYTE III, PRESIDENT OF GOSPEL LIGHT SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, SAYS HE BELIEVES THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MESSAGES THAT THE PREACHER HAS GONE THROUGH OR IS GOING THROUGH HIMSELF. WHYTE SAYS HE FULLY UNDERSTANDS THAT KIND OF MESSAGE THAT GOD GIVES A PREACHER FROM TIME TO TIME THAT CAN HELP THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE BECAUSE BEFORE DR. TONY EVANS PREACHED THIS MESSAGE, WHYTE SPENT OVER 2 YEARS PREACHING FROM THE SAME PASSAGE IN II CORINTHIANS 12:6-8 IN HIS LONG-RUNNING WEDNESDAY NIGHT PRAYER SERVICE SERIES ON PRAYER TITLED PRAYING THROUGH THE BIBLE STRETCHING FOR NEARLY 600 WEDNESDAY NIGHT MESSAGES ON PRAYER FOR OVER 10 YEARS. WHYTE’S SERIES WITHIN A SERIES IS TITLED:THE PRAYER GOD WILL REFUSE TO ANSWER FOR EVERY CHILD OF GOD. 

DANIEL WHYTE III SAYS THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS HIS WIFE MERIQUA WHYTE OF OVER 36 YEARS OF MARRIAGE WITH GOD BLESSING THEM WITH 7 CHILDREN, NOW GROWN, WHO ARE STILL SUPPORTING HIM IN THE MINISTRY, (MERIQUA WHYTE) HAS BEEN HIS “MESSENGER OF SATAN,” “A THORN IN THE FLESH,” PAIN IN HIS SIDE, AND HIS GREATEST PERSECUTING ENEMY IN THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY IN TRYING TO HINDER HIM FROM PREACHING THE GOSPEL AND THE WORD OF GOD, NOT BEING A GOOD HELP MEET IN THE MINISTRY, WHICH SHE KNEW HE WAS CALLED TO FULL-TIME YEARS BEFORE THEY GOT MARRIED, AND BY NOT BEING A LOVING MOTHER TO HIS 7 CHILDREN. (ONLY GOD KNOWS IF DR. TONY EVANS IS GOING THROUGH A SIMILAR SITUATION WITH HIS NEW WIFE. IF SO, MAY GOD HELP HIM AS HE HAS HELPED ME.) ONLY GOD AND TONY EVANS KNOW WHAT THE UNKNOWN “SIN” IS, AND ONLY GOD AND TONY EVANS KNOW WHETHER OR NOT HE CAN GRACE THE PULPIT AGAIN. HOWEVER, LET IT NEVER BE FORGOTTEN THAT DR. TONY EVANS IS A PREACHING MACHINE, AND IT IS MY HUMBLE PRAYER THAT GOD WOULD ALLOW HIM TO PREACH TO THE WORLD AGAIN. BY THE WAY, TONY EVANS, YOU “PICKED A FINE TIME TO LEAVE ME, ‘LUCILLE’.” BROTHER, FORGIVE THE NAME “LUCILLE.” I’M TRYING TO ROLL WITH MY BOY, KENNY ROGERS. MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE THE SONG IF I PUT ANOTHER NAME IN THERE. ON A SERIOUS NOTE, DR. EVANS, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR GOD BY TAKING THE TOUGH UNFORGIVING MANTLE OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., FOR WHAT YOU HAVE TRIED TO DO FOR EVANGELICALS, CHRISTIANS, PROTESTANTS AND CHARISMATICS DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID FOR THE NATION. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID FOR ME IN HELPING ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL AND THE WORD OF GOD AS AN EVANGELIST AND A PROPHET TO THIS NATION AND THE WORLD WITH MAJOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT, AND WITHOUT KNOWING ME PERSONALLY AND WITHOUT US EVER MEETING OR COMMUNICATING BY PHONE, EMAIL, OR LETTER —  AS OUR ONLY POINT OF CONTACT IS JESUS CHRIST AND YOUR MENTOR AND MINE, DR. JOHN MCNEAL, JR. PROFESSOR AT CARVER BIBLE COLLEGE IN ATLANTA AND THE LONG-TIME PASTOR AT THE ATLANTA BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH. LET’S NOT FORGET OUR HUMBLE ROOTS, MY BROTHER. WE LOVE YOU, AND WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU. GLORY BE TO GOD ANYHOW!

THE PASSAGE IN II CORINTHIANS 12:6-8 APPLIES TO MRS. MERIQUA WHYTE AND SO DOES THIS PASSAGE FROM JESUS CHRIST WHO SAID: “AND A MAN’S FOES SHALL BE THEY OF HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD.”

⁶ For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

⁷ And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

⁸ For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

YOU MAY ASK WHY DID YOU STAY WITH HER FOR 36 YEARS? FIRST BECAUSE I GOT MARRIED MAINLY FOR SEX SO THAT I WOULD NOT CONTINUE IN SIN, AND SHE HAS NEVER FAILED IN THE SEX DEPARTMENT. (AND YES, GUILT-FREE SEX, DISEASE-FREE SEX, FREE SEX, AND THE WONDERFUL CHILDREN THAT SEX PRODUCES IS WORTH STAYING IN A MARRIAGE FOR.) SECOND, EVERY TIME I TOLD HER SHE CAN LEAVE AT ANY TIME BECAUSE “AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE’RE GOING TO SERVE THE LORD” UP IN HERE, SHE ALWAYS SAID SHE WANTED TO STAY, AND ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES I AM OBLIGATED TO LET HER STAY EVEN THOUGH SHE IS “A THORN IN THE FLESH” AND MY GREATEST ENEMY IN THE WORLD. HERE ARE THE SCRIPTURES THAT OBLIGATE A BELIEVING SPOUSE TO LET THE UNBELIEVING SPOUSE STAY IF THEY WANT TO STAY:

¹⁰ And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

¹¹ But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

¹² But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

¹³ And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

¹⁵ But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

¹⁶ For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
