Pastor John,
I loved the meeting tonight. I’m sick in body, but my soul was rejoicing! It felt so good! I feel so blessed! I thought, “Jesus, thank you so much for feeding me, for feeding us the best food ever!” For several years, I sat in a place that kept serving food watered down and not filling. Praise God, to be able to be fed and feel full! I feel like Sheila, I couldn’t get my arms high enough tonight!
Thank you, Pastor John! Thank you Jesus!

Hi John,
Whewee, I feel so full after tonight’s meeting! It was so sweet and full of life and praises to God! I just love having the understanding that Jesus has given us, and feeling the Spirit stirring us all up just to rejoice and praise Him.
I have told this before, but I remember after Jesus first touched me (but before I learned the truth and received the holy Ghost), I resolved to read through the whole Bible, using a “study guide” I found on the internet. It took me a few months, but I diligently read through Bible, cover to cover. As I read, I recognized a few of the common stories from my Sunday school days, growing up going to Church with my parents, but I understood absolutely nothing that I read. I remember asking God to help me to understand what I was reading – to get something out of it. It was at this time that I came across the Isaiah58 website and came to learn the truth – and Jesus began to open my eyes to the things that I had read, and continued reading, in the Bible – because of the word of God that I heard through you in your CD teaching series, and the CD recordings of the meetings I began to receive. Just like we read tonight in Romans 10, where Paul talks about hearing the word of God because of the preacher who has been sent!
What a wonderful thing it was to me, when I first heard you explain this chapter, and pointing out that, at the very beginning, Paul is addressing “Brethren” – those who have received the baptism of the holy ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues – the very thing I now knew that I needed, so that I would be able to “confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus”, and “call upon the name of the Lord”! I love that! It is more exciting every time I hear it, and I know if I walk in the Spirit, it will never get old.

p.s. Amy wanted me to add, she had just one word for tonight. “Yummm!” 🙂

Pastor John,
Tonight was so sweet! So many good feelings and thoughts! On being chosen, when you said we had nothing to do with it, ah! Jesus reminded me of being that little girl on my bed, looking up toward the ceiling and as sincerely as I could, ask Jesus to please wash my sins away and to please give me a sign that he had done it! I didn’t even know that there was a sign, but I figured he could give me one!! That was just God loving me first!
And then, I love that scripture about “confessing with your mouth”! Jesus taught me what that scripture meant, using my own mouth one time! Haskell and I were talking to his aunt and uncle just after Jesus gave Haskell the holy ghost. After Haskell told them his testimony, his uncle quoted that scripture in Romans 10, to say that he was “saved” because he had confessed with his mouth that he believed in Jesus. I remember the words coming out of my mouth (with respect and love for them both) that you confess with your mouth by speaking in tongues. Then I looked at Haskell like, “Did you know that?!”
I feel very thankful for our life 😊

P. S. We were so happy tonight, Daniel said the whole house was shaking!

I love the feelings we felt last night (1/9/16), praising and thanking Jesus! When I woke up this morning my first thoughts were these: “It is simple. This is the way, walk ye in it. This is my commandment- that ye love one another, that your joy may be full.”
Amen!
