Tell us that at the end of the day there will at least be one redeeming card of our very own.

You will live in a time where instead of sometimes being fulfilled, many of them will actually be fulfilled. The Lord will unfold your future bit by bit.

I've found, as I'm sure you have, that when you're trying to learn from the Lord and you feel an impression from the Spirit, it's important to make a note so it will not be forgotten.

It will come more and more rapidly and you will begin to hear and feel those impressions of the Spirit more quickly than you have previously done.
