In this world, the Soldier of the Cross has no human rights.      To be free, happy, and enjoy the blessing the Lord bestows, you must realize this.       You have no right to be treated well, you have no right to have a savings account, you have no right to have your favorite people think well of you, and you have no right to what most call a happy marriage.      Stay with me.      You are to take up the Cross daily and follow Him. He leads into the place where you are free from those cravings, and where there is light to see what is really going on.      You have no right to freedom from physical pain. You must tell the Lord He can use it. Of course we pray for healing - that is just scriptural. But aren't you attracted to loosing your life, so that you can have His?      Christianity today would lead you to believe you can live like the rest of the world in a few areas - money, child rearing, marriage (as in good) and scheduling of time.      It is a lie from hell.      You can't taste the Lord in fullness until you realize His way is different, and He has treasures for you, and rights only get in the way!
