Message From Pastor

 

March 6, 2014
 

 
I have said this before and it is worth saying again, because it declares the Glory of God.  Here it is; "I have to be the most blessed pastor on the face of this planet."  Now, you might be wondering what that statement has to do with the glory.  Let me explain.  You see, I am well aware of the past and how this church got started.  I have watched this ministry progress step by step, person by person, and it is only by way of God that we’ve come such a long way; yet it is still just the beginning of what will be.  Not one person in leadership of this church, or its pastor, takes credit for any thing that has been done.  The credit, honor, thanksgiving, and glory belong to God, and each of us recognizes that. 
 
When I stand back and take a look at all of what now is, it does declare the Glory of God, and I am so thankful and so humbled for all these things I see.  Even last Wednesday toward the end of bible study time, the Holy Spirit seemed to just hover over the crowd of folks sitting at the tables and there were a few of us who felt that presence.  It wasn’t a sense it was a feeling. He could be felt very strongly, and some of us had tears streaming down our cheeks knowing He cares enough to be right there with us, guiding our path, holding our hand, and blessing us.  And all I could say was, “Wow”. 
 
Some of us have seen and felt this very thing at and after service time on Sundays.  Very often there have been times of refreshing with God moving in the midst while folks would just set for an hour or so after the service basking in the presence and Glory of God. 
 
These times are so tender and wonderful.  And as I see it, it is the favor of God, because there are very few places that actually experience such things.  There are few places where folks can actually say they’ve experienced the Power of God.  There are few places that can actually say; "Surely the Lord has been with us."  In fact, there was a fellow from another church who asked me, “Pastor, how do you get that to happen?”  That man asked in such an astonished heart-felt tone, and I knew at that moment he’d been seeking and longing to experience the same thing.
 
But I believe the reason so many do not experience this wonderful favor is because of agenda.  Too many hearts are hard and there is no humbleness, no meekness, and no submissiveness toward the Holy Spirit.  In fact, far too many places leave the Holy Spirit out of the picture.   There is no willingness to get past “self.”  There is no willingness to be tender toward what God would do. There is no willingness to lose personal agendas and allow God room.  There is no real hunger or desire for God to have first place, and there is no willingness to be in “one accord.”     It all boils down to the position of the heart.
 
There are even places where there is no sound doctrine, no truth being taught or preached.  And far too many folks just want a so-called “feel good” message.  So you see, it all comes down to what is really inside the heart.  But listen, I’m here to tell you that God is faithful to the faithful and there is nothing He wants to withhold from His people.  Are you willing to take God at His Word, all of it, or do you pick and choose to fit "your" line of thinking?  Are you seeking God in humility?  Do you have a desire, a true desire to lay yourself down so that He can be lifted up?  Do you have a true repentive heart?  Are you willing to be willing? 
 
These are all keys that will either lock or open doors of favor and blessing and these are questions every person needs to ask themselves. 
 
So as I examine all these things; as I look back and then look ahead, even in the congregation, I stand in humility and awe at what God has allowed, provided, and done for His people, and I can truly say, “Here at Living Waters, there is favor and blessing.”
 
 
 
In His Service,
 
Pastor Gary A. Jones
