         Pastor, please excuse my lateness in listening to this message. The past two weeks have been a time of mourning and testing for my family. The Homegoing was this past Friday, and slowly things are going back to normal.

    
    

         As most Pastors and leaders know, the "church" is experiencing a paradigm shift into more truthful, spirit-led services, some of my friends who are Pastors have even begun Saturday services. I agree with you that hearing from the Holy Spirit and yielding to the unction of the Holy Spirit is far more important than a "cookie cutter" service. I am a member of a local church and during my convalescence I discovered Refreshing Hope Ministries, a vital part of life for me.

    
    

         A lot of members do have church homes and maybe that is why Sunday Services are so lightly attended, I don't know. I have in the past tried to comment on the service and some times I have missed. But one thing is for sure, I have enjoyed your teachings and some I have watched more than once. I am in total agreement with the change and your decision to not have a routine service but a service more geared toward the Holy Spirit's unction. I commend you for the change, for a lot of us change is hard, for some, biblical history and teachings are hard, so it makes it complicated for those who are new to the faith or those who are just plain resistant.

    
    

         It is certain that we can not please any one person all the time, so listening to God is the right choice and you have made it. I commend you and Sylvia for your dedication and service to others. Minister, to me, is not a title but a service to others, that is the example that Jesus provided and it is an example for us to follow.

    
    

         Having spent the last two years on my computer attending college, writing papers, essays, term papers, etc., submitting homework assignments and a host of other things, I truly have an understanding of the time and hard work that you and your wife have to put in so that you can serve us during the week. I can honestly say that I appreciate you and that I am glad that you are here.

    
    

         Your brother in Christ,

    
    

     

    
    

         Minister Joseph Adams, Jr.

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments, Joseph! Indeed, being led by the Holy Spirit and a restrictive format would not seem to be compatible. Since you mentioned Saturday services, that is something that we are considering (in place of Sunday, probably Saturday afternoon) at least in part for those who may go to a local church on Sunday, but still wish to join here. We shall see, but perhaps your comment is confirmation

    Thank you for this Part three Pastor.I have been praying for a new renter for my son's condo for three days.  He have seen already some propective renters. As I was listening to a praising song I heard this phrase "If you believe it, You will receive it and you will feel it and you will testify" So I always pray and give thanks to our LORD GOD for the new renter that HE gives my son.With all my heart I know that this the answer to my prayer.

    Thank you Pastor Dion for part 3. You and Sylvia have had some amazing experiences. I hear the Lord through a still small voice or impressions in my mind or difficult circumstances that work out perfectly after praying to the Lord for help... I'm keen to learn more. Pastors prayer: Heavenly Father, Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit and establish a clear line of communication with me. Reveal the gifts in my life and teach me to use them. Speak to me clearly and in a way that I understand. I want to hear You speak. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

    Thank you so much for this. I have been experiencing almost all of things that you have talked about over the last few years and it just confirms to me that our wonderful, awesome Father speaks to us uniquely and individually.  I was born again 5 years ago and when these things would happen I knew it was God but people would try to talk me out of it by telling me that God doesnt talk that way. Or it was just a coincidence.  You do not know how wonderful it is to have someone else have the same experience I have with Him. It just encourages me so much.

    
    

    I have been reading your devotionals for over a year and I just must say (God told me to encourage you) they are so spot on almost every single day for the last 18 months that it cannot be a coincidence.  You are so blessed and annointed. It was a long wait for you but I bet every single day is exciting now that you are living your purpose.

    
    

     

    
    

    God bless you

    Pastor, it would be much appreciated that if you please do a praising song, to please have the lyrics written so I (we) could sing with when we read your Sunday Mass message.

    Hi Deng, the lyrics to the song are in the video as I sing them... You should see them. Or do you mean include them in the text of the blog post?

    Yes, please.  I scroll on the text script as I listen to you, so I am not with the video when you talk and sing.  Thank you so much
