Good morning, John,<\/span>

Yesterday\u2019s message was beyond this world! I tried to take notes, but while I was trying to write one thing, you would say some other wonderful thing that was spoken straight from heaven! Then there were many times that I had to stop writing and raise my hands to praise God for what I was hearing! I came straight home and listened again. Sometimes, I would rewind and have to listen again because it was so good. Amy B mentioned in the comments yesterday that there were so many pearls and she was right. I came home with a pocket full of pearls!<\/span>

I felt like Jesus was holding up that Holy Ghost mirror (as I\u2019ve heard Barbara say), and I don\u2019t want to forget what I saw in that mirror! There were many sobering things said about guarding our heart and keeping it pure because we have no choice but to go with the condition of our heart! That was another reason for me writing these things down and asking Jesus to write them on my heart!<\/span>

At one point yesterday, you asked where God\u2019s children could go to be fed and grow in the knowledge of God, and be made so full that it\u2019s joy unspeakable. That\u2019s where I was yesterday. So full that it was joy unspeakable! Oh Jesus! Don\u2019t let us take what you\u2019ve given us for granted! Let us appreciate all of this wonderful food you give us so freely!!<\/span>

Thank you! Thank you!<\/span>

Lee Ann

Here are my notes:<\/span>

Jesus put you here! You are something God did!<\/span>

A pure heart will feel what is right. We are judged by what we feel.

Everybody is judged based on what they feel and their attitude towards those who were saying these things.<\/span>

Your attitude towards God\u2019s servants is a result of the condition of your heart that has been cultivated for a long time.<\/span>

You will have no choice but to go with the condition of your heart. It\u2019s beyond understanding. You can make up your mind that you\u2019re gonna go a certain way, but if your heart\u2019s leaning the other way, that\u2019s where you\u2019re going to end up.<\/span>

To an unclean heart, wrong can seem right, and right can seem wrong.<\/span>

A lie can make sense to an unclean heart, but it doesn\u2019t quite get through to a clean heart.<\/span>

Truth to an unclean heart often seems like a personal attack on your integrity.<\/span>

A clean heart feels its way out of hard places.<\/span>

If God doesn\u2019t let you see it and change, you\u2019ve been judged by your heart.<\/span>

Jesus sent the disciples out with two things: 1) A message (the kingdom of heaven is at hand) and 2) power. (Heal the sick; cleanse the lepers; cast out demons.<\/span>

Everyone\u2019s reaction to the men God sends out is going to determine where they are today.<\/span>

Jesus came to bring everybody to a crossroads.<\/span>

Be prepared for your next crossroads! You\u2019re sent to the crossroads to expose what\u2019s in your heart. You don\u2019t get to choose your response! The crossroads exposes hearts!<\/span>

If we are like Jesus we are going to suffer, but if we suffer with Christ, we will reign with Him!<\/span>

You can turn the other cheek because God will determine everything that is going to happen to you.<\/span>

Don\u2019t compromise the truth. Shout it from the rooftop!<\/span>

It\u2019s God\u2019s choice who believes.<\/span>

We commit our souls to God by the way we respond to suffering. The way we respond to people not doing what we want them to do. Our attitude when we\u2019ve been hurt.<\/span>

There will be a hot place in hell for anyone who goes there from here.<\/span>

When you got the Holy Ghost, you got anointed to hear directly from Jesus! He\u2019s got a secret channel into your heart. Keep it open! Keep your well unclogged!!<\/span>

The power of God is a threat to men who are ordained by men and they feel it, so they come up with slander that ordinary people wouldn\u2019t come up with. They accused Jesus of being demon possessed.<\/span>

The only way you or I or anyone can escape slander is to feel something. That keeps you from going with the experts.<\/span>

It\u2019s always been a matter of the heart and God knows how to put you in that place. Something beyond your understanding, just so you can find out what your heart\u2019s made out of.<\/span>

It doesn\u2019t matter how much you know, God knows how to put you in a spot where you don\u2019t know what to do.<\/span>

Don\u2019t get puffed up because you know so much! God knows more and He is going to try your heart!<\/span>

You hear things from God\u2019s servants that puts you at a crossroads. You are going to respond based on the condition of your heart.<\/span>

You\u2019re gonna choose whether God is out to get you or whether God has your heart.<\/span>

David told Solomon, \u201cAbove all else, guard your heart\u201d. You will have no choice but to go with the condition of your heart. It\u2019s beyond understanding.<\/span>

Where can God\u2019s people go to grow in the knowledge of God? To be fed and made so full that it\u2019s Joy Unspeakable?!<\/span>

Don\u2019t be afraid to speak to the world what God speaks to you.<\/span>

Love God more than you love anyone close to you. That\u2019s how you love people. You can overcome the world, if you can overcome the ones who know your shoe size!<\/span>

The more you know God, the more you will hurt, but a just person would rather hurt and know the truth and not pretend it\u2019s some other way.<\/span>

Don\u2019t be afraid of the ones who don\u2019t like you. Say the words I\u2019ve given you to say. Be faithful.<\/span>
