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

This hit me like a ton of bricks.<\/span><\/p>\n

I read it… and re-read it. . . and I am stunned. My mouth is open. . .<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a huge RELIEF<\/strong> to me, Pastor John. This is a concept that is so profound in its simplicity. It is something that I have never<\/strong> put into practice, because IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME.. . . but instead, I kept beating myself up, daily, weekly, month after month, for not being able to retain that “feeling” of joy or happiness or peace that the holy Ghost brings, and wondering WHY I couldn’t stay steady.<\/span><\/p>\n

And you’ve wondered about me, I’m sure. How’s Brad doing? Is he steady and balanced in the Spirit everyday? Is he being pummeled by the spirits of the world and not staying full of the Spirit? If I had known this one little concept that Preacher Clark spoke. . If I had known this YEARS ago, I would have saved myself a lot of sleepless nights and worrisome days, blaming myself for not feeling the same everyday, and being disappointed in God for not keeping me pumped up.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, explaining it this way, as “daily manna” to be consumed each day anew, . . . I can do this. I can take one day at a time, have communion with Jesus (which I usually do anyway), build myself up with fellowship more often, and open the floodgates for God’s love to flow in. One day at a time<\/strong>. Every day. Continuously<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the most profound<\/strong> Pearl I’ve ever read. I needed this. Thank you. Thank you so much.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brad<\/span><\/p>\n
