Hi Pastor John,
I listened to your new song, “I’m here to praise his name”, all day long today. Brother Gary gave me a cd Sunday before we left to come home with the new music on it. As I listen to the cd, I could feel the spirit of God all over me. All I could do was fall on my face and pour my heart out to Him and tell Him how thankful I was for everything He has done for me in my life! And I asked Him to forgive me for all the times I may have missed what He was doing for me, and did not realize how much he loved me.
When you sang the words, “Before my eyes opened in this world of sorrow, He knew my path would be filled with sin and shame”. All I could do was thank God and Jesus for what they have changed in me, in my life, and where He has put me. It made me want to find someone that I have mistreated, or mistreated me in my life, and do anything I can for them to make their life easier or better somehow. Without the spirit of God and his power in our life, we will mistreat one another, but all I could feel was love for everybody in my life around me.
I asked God, “Let me feel this way always!” When you know that God is the only reason you are who you are, you won’t be able to mistreat anybody in any way. There is no wrong spirit in that Love! I felt so grateful and overwhelmed with his presence while listening to your song, John. I can’t put into words just how I was feeling. It was out of this world. It’s a beautiful song, John. I know where it came from.
Thanks,
Stuart
