Pastor John,<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nTonight, I feel like we all were rewarded by sister Sheila doing her part with God, and testifying to the results.\u00a0 She became the results!<\/span><\/p>\n

Her testimony about her recent experience with the Lord is one of those rare and awe-inspiring gems that I am thankful I was here to be able to see, and hear, and feel.\u00a0 And the preaching from you that followed felt like the result of Sheila’s digging so deep with God and then testifying about it.\u00a0 It was like her godly testimony pulled that wonderful message out of you!\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nI love what I saw, and heard, and felt tonight!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nWe have the ability to get somewhere with God if we want it.\u00a0 I saw Sheila do it!<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nI feel like I got a peek tonight at “old time holiness.”\u00a0 That solid, deep-rooted \u201cFriend that sticks closer than a brother\u201d feeling that is often talked about when folks refer to the old Preacher Clark recordings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sheila’s testimony tonight also taught me that we, as God’s children, can stir up those kinds of feelings among us. What we felt tonight was because of Sheila’s efforts toward reaching God. She provoked God – in a good way!\u00a0 She dug for God’s gold; that is why she struck gold!\u00a0 When she dug deep enough, God poured it out, so much so that it poured out over all of us!\u00a0 Sheila became a walking blessing for anyone who would hear, and she achieved that blessing by getting down to business with God.\u00a0 That precious testimony she gave, those feelings that we all partook of tonight, were there waiting for Sheila on the other side of her desperation for the Lord.\u00a0 She had to act on it.\u00a0 What else is God waiting to give us if we dig deeper?\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nSheila told us tonight that God made it clear to her, “We will all pay our debts before leaving this world.”\u00a0 God is going to require of us what we owe, if we become debtors to people’s hearts, including His, in this lifetime.\u00a0 I felt in my soul that I was glad that God is that way – just, faithful, and dependable, as faithful to punish our disobedience as he is faithful to reward our obedience.\u00a0 In my spirit, even though it makes me tremble, I know that it is right, and I want it to be that way.\u00a0 It makes me fearful of \u201cthe goodness and severity of the Lord\u201d, while making me feel very safe.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\n“God’s Majesty, God’s Glory, God’s Power, God’s Righteousness… and I am a little worm.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That was so Beautiful!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you God for letting me witness her testimony! What a glorious night.<\/span><\/p>\n
