As A Man Thinketh In His Heart….
This post contains a 13-minute mp4 of the Late Dr. Robert A. Cook’s broadcast, Walk With The King. Today, he talked about thoughts, prayer and the Christian walk.

Backsliding – Reverend William Macleod

Dealing With Affliction In The Christian Life – Charles Spurgeon Sermon #shorts
The following 1-minute video is from the YouTube site, Christian Sermons and Audio Books. It says a lot about prayer and remaining under God’s afflicting hand.
It took me a long time to realize that when I was under affliction, I habitually sought to escape it, fleeing to something that gave me pleasant feelings, or at least a break from unpleasant ones.

I recently uploaded a video by Pastor Matthew Everhard on The Valley of Vision.
I have owned a copy for a decade or so and I began reading again from it this morning. I have come to understand most of this first prayer in the past 16 years during my Christian walk; however, I do not yet have such experiential understanding.
