God's Hidden Strategy: You Are the Trojan Horse

Have you ever endured a painful season that seemed to have no purpose? A trial you didn't deserve, a hardship that appeared senseless? After an unexpected hospitalization that threatened my life, I've returned with a revelation that completely transformed how I view suffering.

Drawing from the ancient story of the Trojan Horse and Paul's powerful words in 2 Corinthians 4, this episode reveals how believers often function as divine "Trojan Horses" in this world—appearing ordinary on the outside yet carrying extraordinary power within. "We have this treasure in earthen vessels," Paul writes, describing how our fragile human frames contain the very resurrection power of Christ.

The enemy understands this reality better than many of us do. Your suffering isn't random; it's often strategic spiritual warfare against the treasure you carry. When facing trials not of your own making, recognize that God may be positioning you precisely where someone needs the life-giving power you contain. My medical crisis placed me in proximity to healthcare workers and fellow patients I would never have encountered otherwise. In our suffering, we become God's agents in places that need His presence most.

This understanding doesn't minimize pain or suggest we pretend everything is fine. The challenges are genuine. But beneath the surface of our struggles lies divine purpose—the opportunity to manifest God's power in places that would otherwise remain untouched by His presence. Your current difficulty might be the very vehicle God is using to deliver His power to those who desperately need it.

Join me in discovering how to stop asking "why" about your suffering and start asking "what" God wants to accomplish through it. If you're enduring a trial not of your own making, this message is specifically for you—your life may be the Trojan Horse that delivers God's resurrection power exactly where it's needed most.
