Hey Brother John,

Had my 2nd infusion today and all went well.  No side effects at all.

Also, I was blessed so much last night.  I felt so much love from everyone.  I don’t know that I could count on two hands the number of people that asked me how I was doing.  And when I went up for prayer, I don’t know who all prayed for me, but it sure felt good.  It made me love all of them even more and I never want to let that go.  I pray that Jesus never lets me forget those feelings.  Those are the kind of feelings that I anticipate having on the new earth.  What a wonderful life Jesus has given us.

Billy H.

Very powerful encouragement.  ​God bless you for all this.

Amen pastor.

The Impossible New Way 

Jesus did not suffer and die for something we already possessed or could already do.  If man had it or could do it before Jesus came, then what need was there for the Lamb of God to die to make it possible for us?  The “new and living way” that Jesus made for us was impossible for ​men before he came.  And that new ​way of life includes nothing that the flesh can do; it is entirely of the Spirit and in the Spirit.  This is why Paul said that if we live after the flesh, we will die, but if after the Spirit, we will live. 

​We were all living after the flesh before Jesus came, but ​with his sacrificial death, he made it possible for us to live a new way, and in this way of the Spirit, there is no death.

Whew!  I began this morning on my face, before, during and throughout the meeting.  I felt a burden lifted by the songs: Donna’s, Sandy’s and Gary’s, and yours, pastor John.  But it felt good to be still and humble before the Lord, after a week of time spent with worldly cares and worldly conversation with relatives.  Wow, just feeling the emptiness that most people dwell in—day to day—puts a burden on a Spirit-filled heart.  

It was good to be amongst my family this morning, to pray for those who are sick, and for those who are compromising the security of our nation.

Coy was a joy, as always.  Everything felt good today.  A nice spiritual bath.  Good way to begin the new month.

I am looking forward to Thanskgiving.

God bless.

Pastor John, 

Sunday morning, during the reading of The Gospel of John, you spoke of the authority of Jesus, over all of His creation, and that- “It was no wonder the storm calmed when He spoke. It was His storm!”  You reminded us that every single element of all of the Lord’s creation on Earth, obeys its Lord.  Everything…..except men. Men are the only thing that resist its creator. 

After you said that, I heard these words: “Men are also the only creation here on Earth that receive the reward of Glory, as joint heirs with Christ, when they do obey!”

It made me think, no rain drop will ever be praised for falling when commanded to fall. It has no choice. Nothing has a choice here, but men. Only men have the choice to be wise and live forever in Glory, or to be fools and die. I believe that would mean that all foolishness that exists on this earth, exists solely in the hearts of men. What other creation can be charged with foolishness, when all of creation obeys its Lord?

Men are the only creation on Earth that can, and do, move outside of the will of God.  I pray not to be numbered with them in the end.

What a reward is in store for those who choose wisely!

Pastor John,

I loved the feelings of Brother Gary’s song and playing with him.  I watched you and others honor God during Gary’s song and it really touched my heart. I loved singing the older songs that you sang, too.   Nothing has changed with the Father and the Son over the centuries; they are still giving those feelings out to those who love Them, like what we felt last night.  And we know They still feel burdens for their wayward children because God (through His Son) lets us feel them.

When we felt the Spirit last night in our bodies, and people started dancing and praising God, it’s because those feelings were already with the Father and the Son and were sent from above; we were feeling what was in God’s heart for us at that time.  I am so glad Sister Kathy was touched!  When she went up for prayer, Judy turned her oxygen up a notch.  I looked at Judy and said, “Did you crank Kathy up?” Judy replied, “I sure did” (with a smile).  The air Kathy was breathing and feeling wasn’t from that tank, but from above; it was so wonderful to watch her get touched from Jesus.

I loved Lou’s testimony, Venice’s, Sister Willie’s.  And I love understanding that it is the love of the Truth that brought us together, not just the knowledge of it, as you said, and it will be the love of the Truth that keeps us together.

I love my little place in Jesus.  I never imaged during my childhood or even as a young adult that there was even a place like your house.

Thank you, Brother John, for loving us.

Thanks be to Jesus for touching and taking care of Lou!! Sweet Beulah land!  I love what God did to you when you where in the seminary with the lesson from Hebrews.  God did it!!!  Look what he has done for us since!

We are willing to change anything he wants us to, anything to help us and his people.  We just want to be like him!!  Let it go on before us, Lord!!  Wow!  I loved Gary’s song: “Oh, Jesus, we will bring you are praise.”  May God help us honor you and your Son!

I love how free we are to follow his thoughts when he speaks them.  We are free to let loose of anything that he shows us to let go of by his spirit, and to change and to grow in his knowledge.  We are really living life in him and his ways.  This is the way of life!!!  My, my, how sweet to see the power of God all over everyone dancing in the spirit tonight.  So sweet!!  Powerful!

Good morning John,

I had such a sweet experience today. 

I got a gospel tract order in the mail, the woman sent a small check and asked for a wide assortment of tracts.

I have small quantities of most of the tracts in a box on the floor, in my office, separated by index cards.  As I sat on the floor and went through the box, just pulling out one of each…. “New Birth”, “What is Salvation”, “Seven Pillars”, “Unequally Yoked in Worship”,  “Unequally Yoked in Marriage”,  “Marriage and Divorce”, “Christ or Christianity, “How I Received the Holy Ghost”…. etc. etc. 

It was one after another, all so good, all with memories for me  – how they have benefited my life, and my understanding.  Whew. How much more freedom and understanding I have now than before, because men have heard from God.  And I started to cry.  I love that thankful feeling when it hits me like that, and the Spirit flows over me.

We have so much to offer any child of God who is hungry.  There are 100 tracts almost, I think, and there is no shortage of help if God will send people to us. 

It was such a hopeful feeling…. “God, this is not in vain”, is what I heard.  This is good.  This is a holy and special work – man did not do this.   It will be here for SOMEONE after we are gone.  I hope it is our children and our children’s children.  It has been an honor to be joined with others who love this too.  All I could say was “hallelujah!!”

Hey,

When you sang “When We All Get To Heaven” this morning, Jesus gave me the sweetest touch.  I felt like I could fly!  It was an overwhelming feeling of love and thankfulness.  When we got down to pray for the ones that have fallen away, that was what I was praying for each one to feel.  Certain names would come to mind, and I would think of that feeling and ask Jesus to let them feel it.  It overcomes everything.

Last night felt like a warm, comforting blanket, almost like we could have turned the lights off and all camped out together.

At the end of the meeting today when you sang, “Nothing Between”, my heart felt so thankful that my ears could hear you sing, thankful that you are here, and that I am here to hear you.  I’m very thankful for what Jesus has given us.

Love, 

Cris

Hi Pastor John,

The meetings this weekend have been so good. I’ve just loved all the sweet feelings I could feel. Those feelings are just where I want to be forever, and in those feelings is no worry or anxiety. Just such a warmth, richness and peace. In the meeting today I just kept telling Jesus over and over, thank you, thank you, thank you for what I am feeling. I love it. I love being here. I just feel like the future is getting brighter and brighter, and I love it.

I loved seeing Wendy home, too, and I loved her testimony.

Jenny

Pastor John,

I still love this!  I remember sitting in your kitchen and you telling me my name was written in the Book of Life before the world was created.  What love I felt!  Amazing when you stop and think, Jesus knew who I was before He created anything!

Michelle

John,

I know and feel how much we are hidden in Christ.  It is amazing how much so.  I have spoken so plain to some people (as others have done as well, I am sure) about what it true about the spirit of God, and they never flinched.  They did not hear what I was saying because God hid it from them for our sake.  I have prayed many times if he ever opens someone’s eyes to see what we are really doing that we can take the hatred and the way they will treat us.  I pray, “God, let me have the faith to stand and honor you, no matter what!”

I think about Jeremiah being thrown into the mud-pit for telling the truth, and how badly he was treated his whole life.  If God did not have us hidden in Christ, we would be treated the same way as all the prophets that went before us, and you would be in jail, or dead, and maybe some of us as well.  Thank you, Jesus, for your hiding place, and for each other.  I love the book, “God had a Son before Mary did”!  The Son was hidden, and yet he was revealed through out all the writings in old times for us today.  No wonder “the hidden things belong unto God”!  For this purpose, we are hidden and belong unto God!  Wow! What an honor to be hid by Him!

Thank you John, 

Stuart
