Good evening Pastor John,
I wanted to write down something simple that Jesus taught me a few days ago. It is small, in that it doesn’t take up much space on paper, but it is a thought that I am confident came from Jesus, and it is a truth regarding the way of holiness. If I may tell it:
I was about to start speaking to my wife, again…several days ago , and the Lord stopped me as the words were about to leave my mouth. I was about to begin my sentence with the word, “Usually…” and the Lord spoke to my heart and said, “In the Spirit, there is no such thing as ‘usually’, or ‘most of the time’, or ‘generally’ “
I instantly understood God’s meaning, and in the next moment, I recounted your testimony of your father, Preacher Clark, telling you, as you continued to look on the tract room wall (by habit) for a clock that had been moved to another place, that “The truth will save you from doing that.” His point was that “the truth will cause you to look where He is, instead of where He was” (I am paraphrasing).
What wisdom! God is not a creature of “habit”, or “usually” or “most of the time”… and neither are His children who walk in His Spirit! God is alive and now! And so are we! 🙂
