John, I just completed reading your meeting notes 1&2 from the old meetings. Wow. I’m trying to describe how it made me feel. Even though it was written on paper/email, there is a “sound” with this kind of truth.
When I hear a minister speak who has been influenced by the spirit of Christianity, there is a sound I can hear right away. There’s something that comes with it the repels my Holy Ghost, and I have to turn it off before long.
When reading these notes and the pearls of wisdom in it, there’s also a sound that comes to the Spirit. It’s the comforting and even challenging voice of my shepherd. It cuts through. I’ve been blessed many times to hear it from these old CDs, and over the years and even up until now, in the meetings and writings from you. It’s such a blessing. I feel so touched when I hear this “sound”, and it really perked me up to read this and hear that. Thanks for sending.

I wish everybody on earth felt the truth that is in this simple message from long ago. It is found at www.pioneertract.com, beneath the heading: HTML5 Audio MP3 Stream for Newer Browser.

Good morning, John,
Thank you for sending these notes out. That must’ve been a wonderful time in that little room with the power of God falling and revealing truthful things about Himself. I feel it right now, all over me! So thankful that when Jesus came knocking at my door, I let him in!
Thank you for all your hard work over the years to bring this truth into our hearts. It’s priceless!!!

This had to be one of the best meetings ever. I wish I had been there and been in a condition to receive these things! I was just a 19-year-old fool.
Whew. God, we beg you to keep our lights burning!

THIS was the most profound paragraph for me.
I just LOVE it! . . .
“There’s not a thing that you believe that you can prove. You can only prove what you know. There’s not anything that you believe that you know to be the truth. You don’t believe anything that you know. John said, ‘I write unto you, little children who
believe so that you may know.’ It’s the happy privilege of every child of God to know the things of God.”
I seem to recall a story where a man asked Uncle Joe if he believed in God and he replied, “No. I used to believe, but now I KNOW there’s a God.”
It breaks my heart how many well-meaning souls are stuck in Xty …believing rather than receiving the blessing that would confirm their belief, therefore , never really knowing that God’s power is real.
Ohhh how blessed we are to have had Preacher Clark’s anointed teaching–and yours, John!

John,
I would like to make an additional comment about the meeting notes. One thing that struck me is the story of your father meeting an old man who said he belonged to the Methodist Church. It was too far for him to attend so he went to the Pentecostal Holiness Church instead, “since they quit hollering and hooping and chattering….”
God help us! That is a very sad story, but could become a reality with us if we don’t follow the Spirit. I am grateful for your father and those old saints who held on to the truth and passed it on to us.
Thanks again for making these meeting notes available to us.

Pastor John,
What I came to appreciate by listening to the old meeting notes was just how much I heard old saints say, in some cases verbatim, what we say in our meetings to edify each other. Or perhaps I should say, I was encouraged to hear that we still remind each other and encourage each other in the same truth. I’m thankful that the truth is the same today as it was in Paul’s day and while Preacher Clark was preaching. I’m thankful that you and others like Brother Earl have held on to it and pass it on to us. I feel someone off the street could walk out of Preacher Clark’s meeting and into ours and know that we are one.

John, I love this!! It is that simple. What I love about it is that it is what God put in us, and to deny it, I would have to deny who I am. In turn, I would be denying who he is.

Thank you John! These are so good! I felt sad when I reached the end of Part 1, but I was happy that there was a Part 2 coming soon! I feel such a close connection to those folks at Grandma’s house. They are my ancestors, just as surely as Abraham, Moses, and David are!
