From Judy, June 29^th, 2007

Terry and I could not understand why his pain could not be lessened or lifted he cried out everyday and I would pray with him and still no peace.  He endured so much that he and I only knew the extent of the torment he went thru.

After he passed the LORD spoke to me and said he had to go thru this (I prayed with everyday BY HIS STRIPES HE IS HEALED) but the LORD told me Terry walked thru every stripe HE bore for us and that his love for the persecuted church he would have to endure their pain (I think of the many he helped by doing this) it was not GODS will that the pain be lifted from him or the cup be taken away. Terry did suffer for the masses of people. And I know without a doubt that he walked thru the fire and when he looked in the mirror he saw the face of JESUS before he passed.  His cup overflowed for the suffering and he suffered with them
