Many of us have heard that no one is good but God. Well, God was all in Rockford Church of God on Sunday, and He was good!
There was a movement of God in a quiet way. The Holy Spirit was alive and did His thing. Some of us may think that speaking in tongues is the only way of the Holy Ghost, but it is not. There are other ways to do God’s will by the Holy Spirit, and on Sunday He was very active in Pastor Hill’s and Mrs. Lynn Taylor’s lives.
Before service started Mrs. Taylor gave me a decoration with many scriptures. She said the Holy Spirit wanted her to share them with me and Butch. She did not know that Pastor Hill would preach from one of the scriptures that she gave me, Joshua 1:8-9. None of us were aware of the action that was about to take place. I did not read what she gave me until I got home, and Pastor Hill did not know what she had given me.
However, when he finished preaching from verses 8 and 9, I testified on how the Holy Spirit guided me to read Joshua 1:9 some months ago when I was planning on going to New York, fear of all the crazy things going on on airplanes and in the big cities.
I read the scripture over and over until I found peace. I hid that scripture in my heart, took it to New York with me, and today I carry it with me wherever I go. I meditate on it whenever Satan tries to put fear upon me.
When I got home I sat down and read what Lynn had given me and saw it was the same scripture. I called her husband, Tim. We praised God and gave Him the glory for His Holy Spirit and for Lynn and Pastor Hill’s obedience. Pastor Hill has been preaching on obedience, using our gifts, unity, meditation, and getting in position. Well Sunday it all came together in unity.
You can use your gifts however the Holy Spirit guides you, loud or quiet, as long as you are in position. Lynn is a quiet person, but full of the Spirit, and God used her and He got the glory. God blessed us and answered prayers.
Pastor Hill’s preaching is not in vain, and Lynn’s spiritual quietness is not in silence; God hears it.
We wish Pastor Hill a wonderful and blessed happy birthday on Tuesday, October 25.
We wish all October babies a blessed birthday: Pastor Stanford Benson; my son, Kareem Johnson; nephew Johnny Brown; former sheriff Terry Wilson; Ms. Susan Rogers of Union Square; Lydia Waters and Christa Jennings, the best of the “Coosa News;” and Mrs. Jean Waters.
Seeing “love” between the eyes of children is a real big deal to me, especially when it comes through the eyes of two special kids in my life, my great-great-niece and nephew, Khloe Lee and Jordan Hill. However, I love it when it comes from all children. I love kids to the end.
Look at the love in this photo, real and innocent. It’s like watching a true movie or reading a nonfiction book if you stare at the photo for a minute. God has a way of demonstrating His love through innocent children and babies.
These photos were taken in September 2016 and August 2022 when they were 6 and 7 years old and now at 12 and 13 years old. That same love is shown. We must be more like children to have a relationship with God. Let’s pray for that.
