Good morning!
I loved last night’s meeting! I agree with Bess, one of my favorites. I remember when I started working at the hospital, all those nasty spirits around, I would be perfectly happy and joyful and as soon as I started walking in I could feel all the spirits talking. It was such a heavy burden. Then I remembered you would always tell us to pray to discern spirits so we can keep our joy. I would ask Jesus all the time, please teach me to discern the spirits around me. Every time I would ask him I would always hear, “Know who you are”. I didn’t understand that for the longest time and honestly sometimes now I forget it. But what a wonderful reminder that was last night! If we know who we are, we can recognize something talking to us that is not us! Staying close to Jesus, happy and free, what a wonderful life!
I’m also so thankful for Jesus opening my heart to the truth. The truth is encouraging, uplifting and removes burdens! It cleans your heart so Jesus can occupy every space! Every time we have a meeting I close my eyes and see Jesus stretching out his hand and saying come on, I love you, you can do it, I’ve equipped you with everything you need! There is not one speck of Christianity in that and I love it!
Thank you, Pastor John, for always feeding us pure, delicious food! I want to eat every bit of it!

I am always amazed by the meetings. Tonight’s message hit an issue I have been having. It’s like you looked my soul and saw what has been bothering me.
Thank you,

Pastor John,
I went back and listened again and felt the mercy of God in what you were preaching last night. I fell asleep afterwards and dreamed a short dream of Haskell & me together somewhere, and we saw a couple who moved together oddly, like while walking or doing other normal activities. It looked familiar to us and we both said we were thankful for what Jesus had done for us because we used to be that way. The best way to describe it is they moved like robots instead of just living. They didn’t seem relaxed or real.
I woke up with a sweet feeling of peace and hearing Gary sing, “All I Love, I Love….If you get confused, or don’t know what to do, I’ll be there to carry you.” I don’t want to be a mixture of good and bad, or be like the world and by that, put pressure on God’s children to feel like they’re not good enough. I know I’ve hurt people by not being full of the holy ghost.
Since my last surgery with my teeth, though, I feel like Jesus has helped me give more right responses. But I pray to have a pure heart. As soon as you talked about Bruised Reeds, I cried last night. Just the day before, I had reminded Jesus of how he’d touched me with the Bruised Reeds tract before we had children. I had gotten discouraged then, and when I read that tract, I felt so much lighter. It helped me believe he would still do something for me, even though I felt like I had failed him.
It touches me to know that Jesus put that prayer in my heart this week. Thank you for the message last night.
