Pastor John,
These are some of the good thoughts that have been rolling through my heart lately. They aren’t in any particular order but as they came up, I wrote them down. I have thoroughly enjoyed hearing about your work on The Iron Kingdom as well as listening to The Law series. The music and testimonies have been beautiful to my heart, too. All the feelings and thoughts just filled me up with thankfulness.
Love, Bess
-there is a right way to treat each person who is in our lives
-God is a God of relationships
-Jesus shows us through the Spirit how to live as the head and not the tail
-I love living under the authority of Jesus and PJ
-I love how all the things PJ taught us by way of the Spirit are meant to enable us to keep the standard of holiness and to live in the liberty Jesus purchased for us
– I love how this little body values each other and the testimonies and blessings from Jesus as he knits our hearts together. We need each other
-I love the thankfulness I feel towards PJ for being willing to dig in with Jesus so that we can learn God’s heart
-it is amazing how The Iron Kingdom information PJ has been putting together goes hand in hand with The Law Series. Through slander, the false prophets controlled what God’s OT people believed, just like Xty got control over believers through slander
-I love The Law and how Jesus has put it on the inside of us now. We have learned that Xty puts no value on learning The Law, therefore they cannot value the Holy Ghost
-the false prophets always downplayed the significance of The Law, and God’s faithful prophets always pleaded with God’s people to realize their need for it before it was too late. It’s the same today with Xty devaluing the hG and God’s faithful men telling His children to love it b/c it is life, their resting place and refuge.
-tongues are the sign of where the holy Ghost is. God’s people don’t know this
-God’s people are ashamed of the Holy Ghost b/c of slander, but we have been blessed to love it and value it and stay hidden in it. It saves us from our own opinions and our own carnal nature.
-the faithful who declared the goodness of The Law to those who did not value it put their lives at risk. That is like the Iron Kingdom.
-I love what we are learning as a body about the Iron Kingdom – to have an understanding that Xty never was from God and it’s full of men’s opinions – it is that straw man that God gave PJ a vision of as a young man
-the Spirit brings God’s Law into our heart by the power of the Holy Ghost
-Jesus has allowed us to understand and love that there is only one way to worship him – by the Spirit – and any other way is wrong and unacceptable
-it is worth everything to have found my place and to live in it and love it
-we are happy because Jesus filled us with his holy Spirit and his wisdom
==========
Amen, Bess! Thank you.
