In the message "I met three very unique people... James, Mohamed, and the Buddhist", Pastor Jerry talks about his recent trip to Chicago and how God moved. He met three very unique people... James, Mohamed, and the Buddhist. The Lord spoke through each one of these encounters. James was low on hope and looking for it. Many of us, like James, although we know the Lord or have at least in the past known Him intimately, find ourselves without hope (or low on hope) because life has thrown us a curve... or lots of curves... We want more, but all we seem to see is the hopelessness that presents (and re-presents) itself to us daily. Mohamed had no happiness. Many of us, like Mohamed, have allowed the enemy to steal our joy, even though we know the giver of Joy. The Buddhist was 'pedaling' a medallion that supposedly brought life-long peace, when true peace, eternal peace with God, has already been given through Jesus Christ.Like him, we look for peace in things and we even tell others how peaceful these things cam make us... But it's a facade!!! ONLY the Prince of Peace can give you life-long peace... and how much more we need Him for eternal peace! It's the Spirit of God dwelling in us, God's presence in our lives, that brings us to the Love, Happiness/Joy, Peace, that we are ALL looking for. The Spirit of God dwelling in us, because we are born again through faith in the WORK of Jesus Christ.
