Hi Pastor John,
This weekend was so sweet. It seems like so many things came together for me on the weekend. The message you gave about spirits talking to us was so good. I know there are many of us, myself included, who know we have this habit of listening to these horribly crushing and divisive spirits. It was frightening when you spoke about how when spirits say convincing things, you will say either way, “I just KNEW it”. Goodness, how scary. We MUST wait patiently on Jesus and not listen to everything that comes into our hearts.
The thing I most commonly hear, and listen to, is “You’re bad. There’s just something very bad about you”, and “You’ve messed up your life and you’re not good enough; you don’t belong”. These spirits want to crush any hope you have, and stop you from being free. They have nothing but ill-will for Us. But, I was so glad to hear the antidote; waiting patiently on the Lord, and He will support, strengthen and establish you. And I especially loved Psalm 112 v 7 that you gave, “He does not fear an evil report; his heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah”. Oh, I love the word “fixed” in this context. I pray I will be ‘fixed’ on Jesus! Pray I will stop listening to these spirits, and wait on what Jesus says about me/us. Wait for the REAL answer. And then I loved the song of Aunt Kathy’s that was sang, “I Love Who I Am”. I loved singing that in the meeting. I sang along too and meant it, “I Love Who I Am”.
I feel like the message you gave has been touched on before. I pray I get the message this time and quit listening to those spirits that don’t want us to be free, and want to crush our spirits and not let us LIVE.
Thank you, Pastor John. I love Us, and I love who I am!
Love,
Jenny
