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

I was on my way to work this morning driving through the back roads by my house heading to the job site. I came across a church sign that said “Living without God is like trying to bounce a football”. As I got further down the road the spirit spoke to me and said, “Nobody is living without God.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The only reason anyone is alive and here on this earth is because the Father and his Son created them. The only question is, are we his child or not? And are we following his spirit? As I drove on, my thoughts went back to this week end and how wonderful it felt and how good it was to be with my family.<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought about what you were preaching about God \u200b’\u200bs children and how much we give away when we try to add something to what he has done for us through his spirit. Most of God\u200b’\u200bs children don\u2019t even know that is what they are doing when they join a church or add any ceremonies to \u200bthe \u200bworship \u200b of God.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tears filled my eyes as I thought about how much some of our brothers and sisters have <\/span>thrown away and what we have lost by \u200b\u200bthem being a part of Christianity\u200b,\u200b and how thankful I fe\u200be\u200bl to be able to understand and be taught about our Father and his Son\u200b, and about following \u200bGod’s spirit and hearing his voice.<\/span><\/p>\n

At that point \u200b,\u200b as the tears flowed\u200b,\u200b I felt so thankful \u200b. How much of a privilege it is to be a part of what God is giving to us through you\u200b,\u200b John.\u200b \u200b It is a rare thing on this earth what God has given to our little group \u200b,\u200b and all we want is for all of God\u200b’\u200bs children everywhere to have it \u200b,\u200b and \u200bfor us all to \u200bbe one in the spirit. \u200b \u200bI feel more thankful every day for what he has done for us \u200b. Thank you John.<\/span><\/p>\n
