How do you feel about your Pastor?

How do most people feel when they leave church or listen to a Pastor speak:

Emotions:
Happy (emotion) – From seeing old friends, liked today’s musical selections, relaxed because you took a break from daily activities, somebody (including the Pastor) delivered good news to you.

Sad (emotion)
The sermon really made you give second thought about your ways.
Upset with yourself because you realize that you are not leading the life Jesus expects for you.
Disappointed because you realized you commit sins daily.
Condemned because the Pastor reminded the congregation how they were not living the way God expected them to be living.
You compare yourself to other people in the church who you consider “holy” and get disappointed because you are not like they are.

Emotions are temporary feelings. Emotions fluctuate throughout your day.

Free Spirit

Many of us identify ourselves as free spirits. There is only one true way to have a "free spirit". It comes by receiving Jesus Christ in your heart.

When you are ready say outloud:
Father in Heaven, I am ready to admit I want to have a free spirit. Jesus Christ come live inside of my heart and save me. By faith I believe that I am saved, In Jesus Name.
