Bro. John:
Oh, my! I just finished watching tonight’s meeting again and still am not sure I grasped all the things that you passed out for us to eat tonight! My heart is so full that I am not sure I will sleep because of all the wonderful things that were there for us to hear. I will just share a few points that touched me because I don’t believe I have ever heard such a clear explanation concerning Judas and Satan.
- That Satan left his “perfect in beauty” body and entered into the body of Judas because his purpose was: “You have said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the Mountain of Assembly, on the far north side. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will be like the Most High.”
That explanation makes so much sense. When that happened it just helped me understand why Satan now was left, as mentioned in 1Peter 5:8, “as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” He had left his “perfect in beauty” body, that God had created for him, to enter into Judas. His goal to “be like the Most High” was a failure so there was nowhere for him to go but “. . . as lightning fall from heaven.” Luke 10:18
I hope I am seeing this correctly, but please help me if not. It was so good when you said it tonight! And clearer than I’ve heard it before.
- The other thing was when you spoke of your credentials and all the revelations Jesus has given you over the years for US! It flooded my heart just thinking how much God must love you and us to give such knowledge of Himself. It brings tears to my eyes to think that he has chosen us to be the recipients of his love and wisdom. There were several times tonight I could hardly breathe just hearing so much of what He has done for us.
Well, sorry for the length, but tonight was glorious. And I will be forever thankful for you, Bro. John. That God would send to us an anointed Pastor after His own heart to feed and guide us along this way to eternity. We need you, and we need each other. Thank you for every time you have helped me, corrected me, loved me, and saved me from myself.
There were more riches in tonight’s message than I can express here. But thank you for all you gave us tonight. I’m going to try to go to sleep now, but it’s hard to sleep when you’re still chewing on the things of God!
Love you, Bro. John. We are a blessed people.
Sandy 🙂
