Good Morning John,
I was thinking on the good things we felt this weekend, and your teaching on Christianity, that removed another weight from us in the Spirit. It’s another instance of learning, and relearning something, because we need it, i.e., that Christianity was not ever of God… I guess there were still fragments left in us that still feels something about it must be OK, because Jesus’ name is connected. I hope we get this truth all the way in us! The holy Ghost can!
One thing I saw that touched me too, was Leah’s little movie of Hope being blessed by the Spirit during the singing and praying time on Sunday. What a blessing that was to see her yield to the holy Ghost. Like Keith was talking about – overcoming the flesh to go with the “pull of the Spirit”. Hope blessed me by doing that. Just by yielding… it was so beautiful to me. We do more good by going with the Spirit than we ever know, more than we knew possible, and more than we feel “qualified” for. Yielding takes no special qualifications, and no special talents. All it takes is being a living sacrifice. We can all do that. Like you said, “what does being shy have to do with anything.” 🙂 We who have the holy Ghost can deal out something of value to God’s family by that surrender to God. That’s all it takes – we get to feel what we want to feel, and then go with it. And doing that is sure to bless somebody!
