Pastor John,
Wanted to say hello, and tell you we had a very good time there last weekend. Some really sweet feelings, it was one of the most peaceful rides home to Ky.
Its been a busy week here for us, Im sure there too, for you guys. I came home from work today and felt like I just needed to get alone. I went into the bath room and began to tell God how much I needed Him! As I began to repeat those words, the sweetest, most tender spirit began to pray through me. I could not stop it. I tried to speak in english, but nothing would come out but the spirit praying. It was as if He was telling me, He is right here, He’s not gone anywhere. You love Him because of His spirit, not because you have seen him or something like that.
Its hard to put into words. We are known and loved by the spirit we have, and keep. I felt like it was letting me feel how great it is for people to fall in love with him because of only what they feel from him. Everybody says they love Him, but why are they saying that? What made them fall in love with Him? Do they really love Him or love the idea of loving him? I know I have heard for years about serving Him in spirit and truth, and I believe I understand that, but to experience in prayer that the spirit He died for and sent to us is living and dwelling in us — wow! Its incredible.
I guess we could say, if we are living in the spirit, and letting it live in us, then, We are the light of the world. Like you said, “Come be like us.” What spirit are people seeing in us – or I should say, feeling from us?
Praise God!
Paul
