Dear Bro. John:<\/span><\/p>\n

What a wonderful meeting today! Even over the Skype-waves, the feelings were wonderful! I loved watching as each one took a little drink of the Spirit and got blessed. It blessed me! I especially loved Bess near the end of the meeting. I loved her testimony, her holy Ghost hair, and her sweetness. And when she tried to tell about talking to Jesus about the mess they were in awhile back and just started laughing – – that was so good – – because, as she said, Jesus came and brought the Victory! It is so good when Jesus comes and we can look back at what he has done to get us out of our messes and just be happy telling about him and the Victory!<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the things you brought out today when you were talking about the standards in the holy Ghost helped me to understand more fully what Jesus meant when he said \u201cmy yoke is easy and my burden is light.\u201d When you said (paraphrased): \u201cthe least we have in the holy Ghost exceeds the Scribes and the Pharisees in their religious ways\u201d, that really pricked my heart. I can read Jesus\u2019 words now as: \u201cmy Spirit is easy and my Spirit is light.\u201d! To be yoked to the holy Ghost instead of religious ways, whew! How blessed we are! <\/span><\/p>\n

Having participated in Christianity and the religious ceremonies before the Lord rescued me, I felt like a yoke WAS around my neck and the ceremonies were burdensome because they made no sense to me. I am so thankful that Jesus makes sense and gives us good sense if we will follow his Spirit. He didn\u2019t have to die and send back the holy Ghost so we could share in what he and his Father have known since before this world began. But they both loved us and were willing to save us from ourselves. That alone is an overwhelming and humbling thought!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for following the truth and loving it. It gives us all strength and comfort to know that Jesus anointed a man of God to teach us and help us understand him better. I sure felt that today as I watched you pray for each one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hope to see you Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

A very thankful sheep,<\/span><\/p>\n

Good morning Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I loved the meetings this weekend! The preaching, the testimonies, the music, watching my brothers and sisters being blessed! I feel like my cup is running over!<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m especially thankful for the open invitation Jesus has been giving to us! Sunday when the spirit started blessing I felt like, “Here is your open invitation”, I felt like running so fast to Jesus, I just couldn’t get there fast enough! I love it! His sweet feelings just overwhelmed me!<\/span><\/p>\n

I love his mercy! I love us! So very thankful this morning!<\/span><\/p>\n

Michelle<\/span><\/p>\n

I have to agree with Michelle, the weekend was great. But, I would have to say Sunday was the best meeting ever!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

When Brother Gary started singing his song at the end, it hit my heart so hard. Listening to the words and hearing what Jesus was saying in it, I had to get as low as I could and cry out to HIM for his goodness and mercy.<\/span><\/p>\n

So even though I wasn’t there, and you always say “You missed the best meeting”. I would have to say no I didn’t, I was feeling everything that was being felt and I am so thankful for that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you Bro. Gary for listening to the spirit and writing that great song.<\/span><\/p>\n
