Pastor John,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I just read about a dream that Aunt Nannie had in 1993,\u00a0from GCC story.\u00a0 This is so good, so sobering.\u00a0 I just had to let it sink in for awhile:<\/span><\/p>\n

Then I heard a voice that spoke directly in my heart.\u00a0 It said here I am.\u00a0 I turn my head slightly to the left and saw Jesus, standing within a few feet of me.\u00a0 He did not look at me or speak to me again.\u00a0 He was looking straight ahead.\u00a0 He didn’t open his mouth, but his voice, or word, was speaking to a group of people.\u00a0 The voice said, “I don’t need you, you need me.\u00a0 I can give you peace, comfort, and protection from the wrath of God that’s coming.”\u00a0 I felt great fear and tried to fall down at his feet.\u00a0 I knew that I would be safe there, but I couldn’t move.\u00a0 I couldn’t pick my feet up.\u00a0 I tried to push myself.\u00a0 I was so close.\u00a0 Then I was aware that I was back on my bed, holding\u00a0The Broadcaster<\/i><\/a>\u00a0up in the air.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are we to gather from this wonderful vision from the Lord to Sister Nannie? She received from it three distinct impressions.<\/span><\/p>\n

First<\/strong>, from her testimony, and her own words, I know that if we receive anything from God, we have to come to him with all of our hearts, with nothing between us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly<\/strong>, we have to receive before we can give to others.\u00a0 We can’t even give a birthday present until we purchase and receive it first.\u00a0 “Oh Lord, have mercy on your people.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Aunt Nannie’s third<\/strong> clear impression from her vision was that we must come to this place in Christ, or he will replace us with someone who will.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus doesn’t need me, I need Jesus.\u00a0 Jesus doesn’t need man in order to have his gospel preached.\u00a0 Men need the anointing of Christ to be able to preach his gospel.\u00a0 Jesus doesn’t need the body of Christ to be the light of the world.\u00a0 The body of Christ needs grace from God that it might be the light of the world.\u00a0 Jesus had no need of tithes and offerings.\u00a0 The body of Christ needs anointed men to receive their tithes and offering in his name.\u00a0 Jesus doesn’t need us, our talents, our money, our plans, our buildings, our organizations, our many members.\u00a0 We need Jesus and his power, his wisdom, his goodness, his correction, and his Spirit.\u00a0 He is our life!\u00a0 We are not his life.\u00a0 Without him, we are hopeless. Without us, he lives and reigns forever more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n
