Four Phases in the Trial of Spiritual Patience
Spiritual patience is a test of man’s fortitude. The days seem longer than ever and the nights are even worse. It is a time of waiting on the Lord to reveal the answers to our numerous questions. It is a time for searching within the depths of our beings for strength to carry on down this mysterious path we have chosen to follow. It is a period of trial and like every other period in our spiritual existence it has a sequence of events we must live through to get past this ordeal.

In society we are elected to positions of authority in politics, law or even religion making it easier to implement the laws that we want to see in place. This is different in the spiritual world.
How God Works in UsMost of the time when we try to visualize where God is we look to the sky. We know his power exist and believe that we can call for him in times of trouble. We tend to believe that he works a miracle through the skies and eventually on earth to make our desires possible. The truth is God truly resides within us through the Holy Ghost. God does not need to perform miracles from the skies to meet our desires. We perform whatever miracles are necessary to meet our desires by the strength of God within us.
