The lesson of realizing I don't have to try to hard to convince others

Revelations on enduring the shame of our cross

Perseverance goes 100% of the way, not 99% of the way

Defining what it means to carry your cross

The two stages of suffering and death to self

If we quit on our cross, it was all for naught

Tempted to email Laura but God shows me 1 Pet 5:12 to stay put

Fearing not being able to see my children for Christmas, I ask the Lord for mercy and for a vacation from the cross and I sense He tells me there are no vacations from the cross

Very sad about the high possibility I will not be able to see my children for Christmas and yet telling the Lord I will carry my cross as far as He wants

My mom tries to put pressure on me to get ahead of God's commands to me and get my license and go get the children.

Realizing the terrible suffering coming if I cannot go pick up the children

Realizing how quickly we forget God's past Providences and answered prayers to us and we start wavering in our faith after only a few days

Satan's blows lead to spiritual amnesia and we forget what God has promised and done

The most frequent number and Scripture God has shown me is 616, Eph 6:16 take up the shield of faith

We must hold firmly to our faith!

The awareness that all these recordings are to one day be a highway for other people to follow Christ on Only the Holy Spirit can teach another man anything
