EP 6: "From Carrying the Cross to Carrying the Crown"

This episode is not just a story — it is a sacred testimony.This episode marks the culmination of a testimony still unfolding.In this final testimony for now, Cheryl Lafer shares the full journey of surrender, refinement, spiritual warfare, discernment, and redemption — revealing how God established her identity in Christ, clarified her calling, and aligned her life with His purpose through obedience and grace.From carrying the cross through seasons of trial and persecution, to walking through layers of dismantling and spiritual awakening, to encountering Jesus in revival and receiving a crown of identity and calling, this episode stands as a living witness to God’s faithfulness.Through divine encounters and deep refinement, the journey traces the path from the weight of the cross to being crowned in Christ — not by human striving, but by God’s grace alone.This is a testimony of full surrender to Christ, discerning God’s voice amid spiritual counterfeits, the cost and reward of obedience, healing, deliverance, and restoration, and stepping fully into purpose led by the Holy Spirit.This episode closes one chapter and commissions another.Identity. Calling. Purpose. All found in Christ.All glory belongs to Jesus Christ.-----------------------------------------------------------------MESSAGE FROM CHERYL:Family,As I bring this Testimony in Motion series to a close for now, I want you to know this — this is not an ending, it is a transition.There is still so much to be shared, so much to be spoken about, and so much God is continuing to reveal.
