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

Yesterday\u2019s meeting was so good to me!!\u00a0 I went to bed last night\u00a0 with so many good thoughts about what I heard and felt yesterday morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was thinking about how we have everything we need to live and be happy in the holy Ghost.\u00a0 Everything! The joy, the peace, the strength, the righteous judgment, the discernment, etc.\u00a0 It\u2019s all in there!\u00a0 If we have the holy Ghost dwelling inside of us, we have all of those things!\u00a0 It\u2019s just like you told us yesterday, \u201cWe have the power to live like Jesus!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, I thought about something I\u2019ve heard you say so many times when you laid hands on me to pray for me, \u201cLet Him Live!\u201d\u00a0 I would always wonder what that really meant, but last night it was like a lightbulb turning on!\u00a0 I understood exactly what you mean when you say \u201cLet Him Live!\u201d\u00a0 You could just as easily say, \u201cLet the holy Ghost Live!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While it\u2019s absolutely true that righteousness, peace, and joy is in the holy Ghost, it\u2019s not a given that we feel those things just because we have the holy Ghost.\u00a0 If we neglect our holy Ghost and don\u2019t keep it stirred up and alive, it does us no good and the \u201clight that is in you becomes darkness\u201d.\u00a0 If we let those little wrong things here and there build up without repenting, our holy Ghost and those wonderful feelings will get buried deeper and deeper.\u00a0 Our well will eventually dry up.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have to let him live in order to have the wonderful life that is intended for us!\u00a0 I can feel it stirring in me as I write this!!\u00a0 This is all what you were preaching yesterday!<\/span><\/p>\n

Last night, as I kept feeling fuller and fuller thinking on these things, I began to pray for our young people.\u00a0 I thought about what Uncle Joe said about people being too comforted by the things of this world to see their need for God.\u00a0 This world offers a lot of distractions to our young people (and us old people), but if we do what you said yesterday and remember God, if we will get still and spend time with Jesus, that\u2019s when we begin to feel the holy Ghost and every wonderful benefit that comes with it!\u00a0 I laid there last night thinking, \u201cThis is what Pastor John was talking about this morning.\u00a0 This is remembering God\u201d.\u00a0 I want our young people to have those sweet experiences on their bed or riding in their car.\u00a0 It will then spill over to their conversations with each other.\u00a0 They can build each other up in the holy Ghost!\u00a0 Those experiences are strength builders!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We have what we need to overcome this world; we just have to \u201clet Him live\u201d so we can serve God with our whole heart, just like Jesus did!\u00a0 Just like you told us yesterday, \u201cOur life will be easier, happier, sweeter, and with a better end if we will walk in the Spirit.\u201d You said, \u201cJesus wants us to be happy!\u00a0 But remember God.\u00a0 Remember our brothers and sisters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

So, so good!<\/span><\/p>\n
