Hi Pastor John.
I loved the meeting last night. It really has been given to us, as you wrote in your Revelation study about God’s government:
Page 8 Note: This is the order of communication: God to Jesus; Jesus to his angel; the angel to John; John to the seven pastors of the seven congregations.
I love the order of God, it brings peace with it, and I love and desire peace; I didn’t have peace until I met you. You recently spoke and said, “To you (us) it is given”. After hearing the testimonies last night about that traveling evangelist, it made me more thankful and grateful for the order of God that has been given to you, and you passing it along over the years as you have received it. I feel that one of the most important things that stand out among us, as compared with other groups of God’s people, is that we seek to recognize God’s order. God’s order saved my life. I saw it in you when I was a teenager in Louisville, KY, when you visited. I’ll never forget the song that you sang for the first time there. I didn’t understand what I was feeling then nor what it was called, but I knew I needed it and I knew we didn’t have it there (government of God).
God showed me this order as a young man going to work one morning as it related to my family:
God
Jesus
Godly Pastor
Husband
Wife
Children
The messages lately have been wonderful and happy, but it also a very sober and fearful feeling with it. A happiness, in that God is teaching us, but a soberness and fearful feeling in that we will be held more accountable.
I pray that all of God’s people would have and seek God’s order in their lives. It will bring them peace and it will bring honor to God and his Son.
Thank you, Brother John for leading and loving us; it’s no small thing.
Billy M.
