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

I left your house today with my spirit stilled and sober. Listening to your father again (this is the 3rd time I heard that sermon from 1974) just did something to me, again. It is so good. That anointing just gets you tuned in to God, and who He is, and how He thinks, and real feelings. Wonderful.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was thinking today about some things we talked about after the CD, and I felt Jesus talking to me, saying:<\/span><\/p>\n

IF we are blessed (and that’s an IF)……<\/span><\/p>\n

IF we are blessed, God will send some trial, some failure, some experience our way, where we will fear losing our soul and our family in God. It will get so strong on us, He alone will have to hold us up so we survive. That fear will keep us thirsting and hungering for Him in humility and submission, with patience and with the love of God for others. And if we are really blessed, we will hold on to it. He is a good God. <\/span><\/p>\n

I am grateful to be in this family, John. I learned something from Randall and Doris last night. I learned what truly thankful hearts sound like.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t you think everyone on earth should hear that sermon??!! It was recorded when my father was preaching at Brother Delbert Maupin’s meeting in Louisville, KY. We will make copies for anyone who would like to hear it.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
