Brother John,
I sure enjoy watching Brother Coy enjoy Jesus in the meeting tonight. It feels so good to watch him love the feelings of the Spirit of God! Some things that he said tonight as he testified of Jesus, things regarding “hearing a new thing” and “wanting to hear something he had never heard before”, flipped a switch inside me as I listened. It felt like Jesus showed me something.
Solomon said, “there is no new thing under the sun,” and we know he was right. Even science has recognized that nothing can be created or destroyed, by men, on this Earth. Everything on this Earth is either rearranged, rebuilt, reshaped, reconstructed, rehashed or repaired…etc. But it is never, can never, be new. It is always a reconstructing of something here. Nothing is new.
But there is one thing that is new, the Word of God! It is brand new every time it pierces the invisible barrier that surrounds this old and dying creation. It is brand new every time it is delivered to a chosen vessel on this Earth. How precious is that? I couldn’t shake those thoughts tonight. It brought me to tears. How valuable is the Word of God? A word from God? How rare and special? It is the only new thing within this creation, when It comes.
To understand that!
There are thousands if not millions of folk, all of the time, speaking a countless number of words about God. Lifeless, dead words, rearranged, but never new. But one word FROM God is worth more than all of those rearranged words combined. God’s word is alive, and it injects something new and alive, undying, into this creation every time It is delivered to a soul on Earth. It changes this creation every time it enters in to it. It is the only thing that does! It is the only thing here that isn’t a rearrangement of existing material.
All of mankind should be clamoring for a word from our Creator!
I hope that I can understand and hold on to what God gave me a glimpse of this evening. It felt so valuable.
Jerry

Amen, Jerry. There was something special about Brother Coy’s testimony tonight. How much wisdom in Christ he has, wisdom that proud people will never see. I am thankful that you heard what the Spirit was saying to you in Coy’s testimony and that you passed it on to us. Those were valuable thoughts.
