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

I loved the meeting.\u00a0 Jesus knew exactly what my heart needed this week.\u00a0 I loved what you said about feelings and about sin coming from the heart.\u00a0 I was talking to Jesus while mowing the lawn recently.\u00a0 I was thinking about everything that Jesus has done in my life the last few months, and really just wanted to have a conversation with him.\u00a0 I asked why some things are so easy when he gets rid of them. He just takes them away, and we are perfectly content with it. Then I proceeded to ask why other things are more painful and hurt\/sting when he starts removing them.\u00a0 It’s not that you don’t want them gone, but they just hurt a little more in the process.\u00a0 I immediately heard back, “Those are the things that keep your heart from ME!”\u00a0 He answered the question! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Rather it is people or things, if they keep our heart from fellowship and feelings, he wants them gone. But He doesn’t leave us empty. The sweet thing I’ve noticed lately is the more I let go and let God do the work to remove those things, the more He replaces with Him and what He wants for us.\u00a0 I am thankful for my conversation with Jesus and for feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also had something else happen.\u00a0 The testimonies tonight reminded me of it.\u00a0 When I came home from NC, I could not find my favorite pair of sandals.\u00a0 I looked everywhere for them.\u00a0 I was sure I had not left them at the beach.\u00a0 And I knew I had not taken them with me to NC.\u00a0 I finally gave up looking.\u00a0 But I was really disappointed and told Jesus how they were my favorite pair.\u00a0 I didn’t really want to spend the money on a new pair.\u00a0 I was perfectly content with them, and just really wanted to find them.\u00a0 I had forgotten about it and moved on.\u00a0 While cleaning this past\u00a0Saturday I found them!\u00a0 I’m thankful that Jesus heard my prayer.\u00a0 It’s so sweet to think that Jesus cares about something as small as a cheap pair of sandals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyways, I wanted to share! The meeting stirred those up in me. Miss you and hopefully will see you soon!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

I heard two things from the Spirit this evening, while you were preaching.\u00a0 I want to share them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feelings: “Don’t confuse God’s feelings with your opinion”; they are not the same thing.\u00a0\u00a0God’s feelings are not just another option among many.\u00a0 God’s feelings are truth, they create, and they govern all of creation.\u00a0 What He feels, is.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being a Loner:\u00a0 “You can be a loner sitting right here in this meeting.”\u00a0 And you can be in perfect unity with the body of Christ even in their absence. Being a loner isn’t cutting yourself off from God’s children; it is cutting yourself off from the feelings of God, and you can do that while surrounded by the body of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n

I loved the feelings last night and the testimonies. It reminded me of a conversation I had with my boss’s boss. He called me to congratulate me on my raise, and I told him Jesus did it and he agreed. We began to talk about Lord, and he brought up how we surround ourselves with good people and how they can help lift us up when we are not able.\u00a0 He used the example of when they tore a hole in the roof of the house and let the sick man down for Jesus to heal. What struck me was all that has been said through the weekend and last night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Token’s testimony last night about asking the\u00a0body for advice touched me; it made me want to be in touch with the Spirit so I can be a help, not a drain on the body.\u00a0 Makes me want to do my part so I can lower someone down to be healed by Jesus or lift someone up to him.\u00a0 Just everything makes me want to give my whole heart to God.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, I want to thank everybody for all they have done for me and my family.\u00a0 We could have not made it without you all in every way. Hope to see you all in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n
