Hi John,
My, my, what wonderful feelings tonight! I had never had that thought about the disciples not even knowing there was a new covenant when it came – even years afterwards. Wow. Tonight felt just like what Amy F. said she heard the Lord tell her in her dream: “This knowledge and understanding increases the blood flow through the body.” You could just feel it coursing through you tonight!
I love it when you feel the Spirit moving in you like that, that it answers questions you may have before you even finish asking. Towards the end of the meeting tonight, I was thinking on the things that were said. In my mind I was asking, “Didn’t God require the Jews to keep the Law, even after they had received the holy ghost?” Before I could even finish thinking my question, I felt the Spirit ask me, “Where are the nine?” I knew immediately what Jesus was saying. Like that Samaritan man in Luke 17 – who, unlike the other nine lepers who were also healed, disobeyed the law, and instead, returned to give glory to God by honoring the Son – if one of the Jews who received the holy ghost had, from the heart, stopped following the precepts of the Law and lived only according to the new life that God had given him, God would have been pleased.
Wow – makes you hardly able to wait for what God has to show us next!

John,
What an amazing meeting this evening. Throughout the night, while you were preaching, it felt like syrupy-honey to me. Real “honeycomb”…. It was just rolling down, such feelings of sweetness in the air when we talk about Him!
When the Son is honored, there is going to be truth, and healing and power present, just as you said. That’s all the things He is! Lifting the Son up tonight felt so good, so holy. Oh, I love to magnify Him.
When the Son is lifted up like you lifted Him up tonight John, it’s going to be exciting. We are going to be built up. We are going to feel that joy. I loved what I felt tonight…. And I loved what you said about us telling him what we are, and believing that He will keep correcting us, keep moving in us, and keep us growing in this.
I love Jesus. I love Paul. The Son makes us love them all. He is great.
Thanks for digging it out for us!
