Many hugs, Nessie
You said it exactly as I have felt many times. Growing up in a Pentacostal church, I saw many filled with the Spirit, babtized in water, and lead a blessed and full christian life. Not me. I struggled with expressing my faith, going along with the world and not happy with who I was. Only when I settled down in marriage and children did I realize I had better pick a side and live as I believed. My faith seemed small also, and I wondered when I would ever grow up in the Lord. Well the time has come and I walk by faith more deliberately and more passionately than ever before. I have always trusted the Lord and believed His Word; every bit of it, but now it is coming alive and He is showing Himself to me more and more each day. Its about time!! He was probably thinking, “did I figure this girl wrong?”
No Lord, I am slow, but love you more each day. Thank you for being patient with me.
I am thankful for such good teaching from JD and know God put this little church in Hawaii in my path and it has made all the difference. (crying now)
Thankyou so much. Hugs needed and appreciated right now.
I just watched this sermon by another pastor I follow online. It’s great.
What a fantastic sermon. Thank you paster JD, through the Holy Spirit for bringing us this word, it is exactly what I needed to hear.
