Hi John,
I loved the George Clark CD again today. Your father said a few things that stood out to me, I have been thinking about them on and off today. Good feelings.
He was talking about the “blood (of Christ) flowing” – that is the holy Ghost. I think he said at one point, I may not have the words precise, that the holy Ghost flows through our blood. That is why we can feel it in our hands and in our toes. I don’t know why it blessed me so much, but when he said it, I felt it! If we feel that feeling, the blood is flowing, it living and alive, and we can rejoice in it. I feel it even now!! It’s in my blood!
The other thing he said was that we can learn from everybody. That some of the best things he learned were from school teachers, not in the body of Christ. It made me want to pay closer attention to everything.
Like today: I was typing a text message in my cellphone, and I have “word leading” on it – that means as I type a word, it enters in the word it thinks I am going to type that have the same letters. I was typing in the word “resting”. The word that my cellphone entered in was “serving”. I learned something from my cellphone today! When I am serving someone with the love of Christ, that is the best rest I have. There is no strife, no self will, and no sin in it. I know it’s true because it has been my experience – there is peace in considering one another. Serving=Resting.
And the other part that was so good was about loving the “least of these our brethren.” The ones in God’s kngdom who are teaching false doctrine. When he told that Pastor and Overseer about loving their brethren up the street, I don’t know, but it did something to me. At that part of the CD, a backslidden sister, M——, came to my mind very strongly. I could not get her off my mind for about 5 minutes, and I prayed for her. I wished that God would give her peace and forgiveness. Maybe God is wanting to open a door for her.
I love those Old Meeting CD’s.
