Back before I even &#8220;knew of&#8221; or met you all&#8230;I had been web searching,(almost daily), for several years&#8230;looking for ANYONE!! that seemed to believe the very same things that the Lord had been revealing to me about the basic truths of salvation! Sometimes I&#8217;d feel nuts!!, just knowing that I couldn&#8217;t be the ONLY person in the world to believe these things. \u00a0The revelation, power and the belief was too strong! \u00a0Nothing I could of ever drummed up on my own! \u00a0So, I would &#8220;search&#8221; so many words like baptism, holy ghost, holy spirit, kingdom of God, born again, MUST BE, etc. \u00a0I can&#8217;t even remember how many hundreds of sites that would pop up&#8230;I&#8217;d check the site out, only to be disappointed. \u00a0It was sort of a sad time for me&#8230;The truth I knew wasn&#8217;t in any of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Or course, the Lord knew my heart, but I would pray and ask to help me find his likeminded people&#8230;SOMEWHERE in the world. \u00a0SO, I remember one night, I was woke up by a powerful dream&#8230;really like jolted up. \u00a0Very simple. \u00a0It only lasted a few moments. \u00a0It was just a map of the US glowing in darkness&#8230;and then in an instant, a pinpoint glow (or marker) shined down on the east coast. \u00a0It happened so fast&#8230;and I woke up so fast! \u00a0But I knew it meant something in my spirit! \u00a0The anointing was there. \u00a0Only place I had been to the East in my past had been Norfolk, VA&#8230;but I knew that the light shined down either on VA or NC. \u00a0It was so quick. \u00a0So I kept that freshly stored in my mind, not really knowing yet<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">what it was for&#8230; but the Lord reminded me of it, once I later found Gary on his site, which led me to meet you and everyone else. God was leading!! \u00a0Giving me a confirming answer&#8230;so I&#8217;d know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">It&#8217;s hard to describe exactly what I saw&#8230;but I found this attachment is sort of close. It definitely was the outline of the US&#8230;but with just darkness, no state borders&#8230;and a glow around the outside perimeter of it. \u00a0And then!! \u00a0Just that pinpoint light shined down on the darkness, in the area I described&#8230;and I woke. It was you all in NC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">God is good!! \u00a0I find it amazing. \u00a0Thanks for listening to my share moment!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Melissa<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9555\" src=\"https:\/\/pastorjohnshouse.com\/mailbag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/usa-map.jpg\" alt=\"USA map\" width=\"393\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pastorjohnshouse.com\/mailbag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/usa-map.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/pastorjohnshouse.com\/mailbag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/usa-map-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pastorjohnshouse.com\/mailbag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/usa-map-1024x568.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pastorjohnshouse.com\/mailbag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/usa-map-768x426.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 393px) 100vw, 393px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi John!\u00a0 I want to share something amazing with you, and hope it will be a blessing for you to hear!
