Hey Pastor John,
I just finished watching you preach Romans 10.* It was so good to my soul! It just wipes the heart clean! You were talking about getting rid of our opinions. It was so good I had to type some of it out:
He loves you so much he wants to get rid of you! And boy, you’ll love yourself so much better when you’re gotten rid of!
You’ll like that new man He creates. You’ll feel better when He’s doing something!
“Let me take that outta your mind, let me take that outta your heart! Go be free! Let it go, the truth will make you free!”
You can’t judge anybody right until you get your opinion out of the way and go by the Holy Ghost. That’s what the Holy Ghost is saying: “Live!”
When we’re delivered from our opinions, we are delivered from our divisions. Wherever there is a division, there’s an opinion. That’s the problem
You’ve got to submit to the righteousness of God, submit your will, what you prefer. Get away from the pointing of the finger. Get away from throwing that yoke on someone else, trying to make them live the way you want them to live. That makes you miserable, and it doesn’t change them at all. That’s your will; get rid of it. Leave them alone; let God do something with them.
If you see someone doing wrong, let me tell you what the answer is; it’s you submitting to the righteousness of God. That’s the answer. That’s their answer and your answer. If you see anybody around you doing right, your job is to submit to the righteousness of God. That’s the answer to everything, submitting to God’s kind of righteousness.
You don’t need to wish you had something from heaven; if you’ve got the Holy Ghost you do have something from heaven! That’s the way, the only way, and the complete way! He has chosen, he has given, he has invited! What more do you want Him to do? It’s time to praise God!”
This blessed me so much tonight I felt like my feet were leaving the ground! I love the truth, to hear it, to feel it! It cleans out and lifts up! So, so good!
Michelle
