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

Beth and I were talking at length today about following the Spirit, and about what it means to recognize the pace or the “rhythm”, so to speak, of where His Spirit is amongst us right now, where it is leading and what it is doing at<\/span>\u00a0any<\/span><\/i> given time. We compared those feelings of the rhythm of God’s Spirit, to the timing of an orchestra. And when we are in time and sense that spiritual rhythm, we too contribute to the 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4 timing of the Lord, instead of 1-2-3-6.<\/span><\/p>\n

That “6” is like being “off key” in the Spirit world, and occurs when we do not sense what time it is.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beth and I left tonight and both of us felt like we had just witnessed you saving us all from getting spiritually “off key” and talking our blessing away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There was a blessing that we were experiencing tonight, and Beth and I both felt like the timing of that was being changed. You kept us from losing what God had just done for us.<\/span><\/p>\n

You know, you told us in Louisville long ago, “The truth isn’t the truth unless it’s what God is doing RIGHT NOW.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Even what<\/span>\u00a0was<\/span><\/i>\u00a0God fails to be God now, if it’s not where He is, and what He is, right now. That\u00a0truth means everything; It is life in this new covenant. Otherwise, we just become partakers of another form, another ceremony.<\/span><\/p>\n

A testimony is alive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beth and I both felt like pleading with Jesus when we left tonight to help us to not become complacent with God’s touches and blessings; not to get used to them to the point where we can move past them quickly and on to the next thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

We just wanted to be quiet and leave the meeting and thank God for what He had just done for us.<\/span><\/p>\n

And we are also happy to be entirely wrong \ud83d\ude42 We will repent and feel the right way, if Jesus just tells us we’ve missed it.<\/span><\/p>\n

We love you, and we thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jerry and Beth\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
