Hi Pastor John,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was really something reading Psalm 18 last night.\u00a0 We get the benefit of the work that you all do in the translations. \u00a0Thank you, to everyone.\u00a0 In verse 9,\u00a0you talked about the Father bowing the heavens and coming down in a thick cloud under His feet. \u00a0You also gave us a scriptural reference in Mathew 27:45, and told us that it was during the hours of\u00a0noon\u00a0to three PM during the crucifixion of Jesus, when this took place.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t thought about this until last night, but the Lord brought back to my attention in 2009 when I was in total agony in the hospital room being completely backed-up from the blood clots in my bladder, and not one drop of fluid would pass. (I tell of this in my book,“In God’s Shadow”<\/a>\u00a0 ,in the chapter titled, Agony, pages 53-58).<\/span><\/p>\n

Sister Gwen called me about\u00a011:30 AM\u00a0on the morning of November 10th<\/sup>, 2009 and prayed for me. \u00a0Sister Gwen was anointed by God to pray for me so that I could endure what was soon coming to pass.\u00a0 After she hung up, I had to go to the restroom, and that\u2019s when the pain really started, at\u00a012:00 noon. \u00a0The horrific pain that I experienced lasted until three PM, and then Dr. U came. \u00a0Jesus prayed for us in the garden of Gethsemane, and knew the pain that he would shortly endure before receiving again the joy he once had with the Father, and then share that joy with us. \u00a0It\u2019s too much to write about here, but it was an amazing feeling during your teaching last night. \u00a0Those scenes in the hospital are still fresh in my mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reading Matthew 27:45, I can\u2019t help but thinking about the agony that Jesus went through for us, and remember the agony that I went through at the hospital because of a lack of flow in my body, but also remembering the joy and peace after Dr. U comforted me.\u00a0 I know what I went through was just a small snippet of what Jesus went through for us to have joy and peace of the Comforter. Reading about my story again made Jesus\u2019 story come alive more.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is just a lot of similarities (to a lesser degree) from Jesus\u2019 story and mine; more than I can write here.\u00a0 In short, I believe I went through those things to help me understand better Jesus\u2019 story. There was total agony and then total peace, before and after the story about Jesus\u2019 crucifixion.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am crying now, because of the love that I feel from Jesus. \u00a0He cares for and about us. \u00a0It truly is a story of God, and He will use any means possible to share or act out with men the story about His beloved Son. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
