Hey John,
Thank you for this morning! What a blessing it is for Jesus to let us understand the things you talked about this morning, like what God’s kingdom is and why we don’t have to pray for it to come any longer. And that the prayer for God’s will to be done down here as it was in heaven at that time is something that actually happened, when Satan was cast out and is now down here. And, wow, what a way to bring it to an end with Darren’s amazing song!
Jesus is still talking to us, and teaching us that he really was our example of living in this world with the holy ghost dwelling in us. And it comes with the whole package – the joy and the persecution, if we are following Jesus. God help us to live worthy of those things.

Hi, Pastor John!
I was lying awake and couldn’t sleep, thinking about the things we were taught and the feelings of the Spirit from Sunday’s Mathew reading. Tom’ song was timeless! Truth is truth in a song if it was sung yesterday or fresh today. It brought back sweet feelings of singing with him over the years. I do believe Donna’s voice is getting sweeter over the years. Her voice and the feelings in her song today, soothed my heart like balm. What a way to start the morning.
The first few plucks that Darren played on his guitar melted my heart instantly! Aaron, saw me and handed my tissues; I knew and I guess Aaron knew what was coming in Darren’s song. I was praying, “this has the most familiar feelings . . .I have felt this before”. It had the same feelings in the song as, Rest Oh My Child, when you played it for the first time at my kitchen table in 2001. The Spirit spoke to me then at my table, “I got you”. Today, while listening to Darren’s song I heard softly again, “I still got you”. I had to hide my face from what I was hearing and feeling and let it soak in as deep as it would go.
Stuart’s testimony touched me greatly. He may not know this, but a lot of us were in the tree stand with him. It was an honor to be in the same room (and tree) with Stuart. I could take in and felt the feelings with which Stuart was testifying about. They were truly special.
Listening to your sermon and teaching today was meat for my soul!. The message concerning, “On Earth as it is in Heaven”, was amazing to me. I never heard it before like that–It was new and fresh, and made me hungry for more. It’s like eating a meal that was cooked perfectly, looked appetizing, and cooked at the right temperature. And when you put the fork in your mouth, you knew from the first bite that it was going to be a good meal. It was so satisfying. Thank you, Jesus!
As we were leaving to go home after the meeting, I don’t think I ever felt so honored, humbled, and grateful as I was today for what we had from Jesus’ table. Sometimes, it takes faith to believe that God really truly loves us. I’m sitting here in awe just thinking about it all. The love we felt for Jesus and each other is a gift to and from Jesus. It is what he died for so that we can experience what the Father & Son have for each other, and now for His body. True love is when it flows out and it is returned. That is what we had today.
Thank you to everybody! And thank you Pastor John, I am still full.

If Jesus is trying to take us somewhere, God give us the humility to go with him! I want it!
