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

I just love what we read this morning!* Pastor John, you really bring out the loving and tender relationship between the Father and his precious Son that has existed before the foundation of the world. If you don\u2019t believe the Father and the Son are two separate beings who love each other dearly, then it\u2019s impossible to take in how much they love us and want us to be part of their loving relationship. That\u2019s the whole point of us receiving their spirit so we can become part of their loving family; one of their fellows. If we love them and love each other the way they love each other and us, then we will enjoy the fellowship they so want us to have!<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I was sorry I had to miss the reading of the Father and Son* this morning.\u00a0 Hopefully I will be well soon so I can be at future readings. I wanted to tell you about what happened to me this morning, as I read the Chapter One manuscript on my own.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back years ago, my daughter Cara had married a man, and that relationship went bad.\u00a0 I flew to Seattle to try to help her get out of a bad situation, and with legal issues, and at the time, she was managing a cupcake company (kind of like a Starbucks, but sold coffee and cupcakes).\u00a0 I had just gotten the chapter one part of your Father and Son book which you had just started to write, and while I was waiting for her to get off her work shift, I took the pages I printed out and went to the back of the store where they had booths where you could have coffee and their product and started reading.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I started reading chapter one for the first time there in my booth.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

When I got to the part where you were telling about the three truths that were the foundation for everything revealed about Jesus.\u00a0 I got to the third one where you said the Son was NOT revealed while he walked on earth, but only AFTER he ascended and sent back the holy Ghost to his follows and not before that…. the Spirit fell on me deeply at that restaurant there, so much so, that I could not stop weeping.\u00a0 I tried to calm myself, but I couldn’t stop (and didn’t really want to stop)…then, finally, I put on sunglasses so I wouldn’t be so obvious to people and just sat there soaking it in.\u00a0 It was a lifetime memory.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But after some time passed, I forgot exactly where in the book it actually was that I had the Spirit fall on me so deeply like that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This morning, when I read Chapter 1 of the book, I had the same experience here at home when reading about the three truths…. And then I remembered where I was in the book in Seattle when that happened!<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the feelings that I had again this morning that I had in Seattle was that it’s only through the holy Ghost that we have Jesus revealed to us, and how great a thing that actually was (and is).\u00a0 What a love God had for us in revealing himself through the Son!\u00a0 The feeling that came with it was, “If I did that for you, what can’t I do to save you?\u00a0 I will never leave nor forsake you!”\u00a0 What an overwhelming thought!\u00a0 The other was one reason for my love and appreciation for the holy Ghost all through the years…\u00a0\u00a0I have loved the Spirit, but for this reason: Jesus is revealed through it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was so glad to have that brought back to me because I have wondered many times since the Seattle experience, what it was exactly that touched me so deeply.\u00a0\u00a0I had forgotten the area in the book that it had happened to me.\u00a0 So I was thrilled to have it happen again, and be reminded of these thoughts and feelings.\u00a0 What can’t He do for us??!<\/span><\/p>\n

God is good all the time.\u00a0\u00a0I look forward to a lot more feelings like these in the coming chapters!<\/span><\/p>\n
