Pastor John,<\/p>\n
I just had to write you my heart is about to explode with thoughts and feelings. \u00a0I was listening to the CD “God’s right and I’m wrong”. \u00a0wow! \u00a0I LOVE ALL THESE FEELINGS!!! \u00a0I loved how you were talking about being perfection and how we have a wrong idea about it. \u00a0You said being perfect is relative to where you are now and what you know now. \u00a0John, that was something I know you have said before, but this time, it just went deep. \u00a0I think it is because for the first time in my life I feel like I am learning the mind of Christ. \u00a0It is like you are free — free to live, free to make mistakes (not sin but make mistakes) and live and learn God. \u00a0My heart is exploding!<\/p>\n
On that CD, Darren is singing “Come On With Me”. \u00a0That is best way to put what I feel — an invitation to go with Him. \u00a0Also the other day, Paul and I were driving down the road and we saw a man on a motorcycle. \u00a0He looked like [our former pastor]. \u00a0We looked at each other and had the same thoughts and feelings of thankfulness. \u00a0I was thanking God for sending you in 2001 to SAVE US. \u00a0I was thinking, “Where would we be?” and then I looked at my children and cried. \u00a0We are finally in a place to learn and live, and I am so Thankful. \u00a0I was trying to describe this to Ellen P. and she kept saying she could not fully understand what we were saying (because she had never been under the religious bondage and oppression that we once were under), but it was real for us. \u00a0But God sent you so that we could learn how to live. I feel like I am just starting to live and learn my Father. Thank you for all you have done for us.<\/p>\n

Jesus said that the truth would set free those who follow him. \u00a0You are just one of many examples of being liberated. \u00a0I heard an old meeting CD yesterday from 1973, in which my father was preaching and warning some people that when they gathered for meetings, they were only “looking for a place to shout”. \u00a0He said, “shouting isn’t serving God; that’s God serving you!” \u00a0Serving God begins when we leave a meeting, not when we get there. The blessings He gives when we meet are Him serving us His bread of life. \u00a0Let’s eat together, and then go out and serve Him and others!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Pastor John<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pastor John, I just had to write you my heart is about to explode with thoughts and feelings. \u00a0I was listening to the CD “God’s right and I’m wrong”. \u00a0wow! \u00a0I LOVE ALL THESE FEELINGS!!! \u00a0I loved how you were talking about being perfection and how we have a wrong idea about it. \u00a0You said […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-netmail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pastorjohnshouse.com\/mailbag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1032"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pastorjohnshouse.com\/mailbag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pastorjohnshouse.com\/mailbag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pastorjohnshouse.com\/mailbag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pastorjohnshouse.com\/mailbag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1032"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pastorjohnshouse.com\/mailbag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1032\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pastorjohnshouse.com\/mailbag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pastorjohnshouse.com\/mailbag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pastorjohnshouse.com\/mailbag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
