Pastor John,
I was talking to Jesus yesterday on the way to work. I had just finished listening to Donna’s song, “Run to my Jesus”. I was asking Him to “empty me and fill me at His command,” as the song says. Then I came to a stoplight, and the car in front of me had a license tag that read, “4bearance”. That really struck me because you just don’t see that everyday. So, I looked up the definition: “Self-control; patient restraint; hold back, abstain.”
I thought about that off and on, all day.
Last night, I got home and started reading. I wanted to find out where that word was in the Bible, and I found it in Romans. I read in chapter 2 and by the time I had finished, I had such a fear of God in my heart that I began to pray . . . I mean really pray. The spirit of prayer fell on me, and I began crying and speaking in tongues. I began asking for discernment and understanding. I have prayed for these before, but not like it fell on me last night.
I feel like Jesus is trying to teach me something but I’m not getting it. I feel it, but don’t understand it. Can you help me?
