Greetings Family,
I wanted to share with you all how I enjoyed lunch with Marques today. His meek demeanor and soft tone of voice kind of threw me off. Based upon the stern and no non-sense approach he has on the forum I was expecting more of dominate demeanor. I was thinking to myself, "don't ask any stupid questions because he'll rip you to pieces"
J/K However, I saw first hand that he's only a warrior in the spirit and very meek and humble in person, especially when he knows you're apart of the body of Christ. He explained how he's been here on the forum for awhile and seen many come into the forum holding on to idols of the heart. His approach here on the forum is fully-merited IMO and I admire the amount of studying he's done and his diligence in the word.
As I was writing the first paragraph, Apostle Paul came to mind. I think it was the Corithians that said the same thing about Paul, "In letters he's bold, but among them he's meek. Another small indication that we are all one in spirit and have similar characteristics, even with those who have gone before us. They were all regular men and women just as we are. In times past it seemed to me that the patriarchs who come before us were more than human. I look at the things they accomplished in the spirit and it's like amazing, supernatural. That's the beauty of God, he takes those things which are despised and base among the world and transform them into spiritual giants. Our God is an awesome God.
I am excited about what the future holds. We intend to meet regularly now and I believe God is about to do something here in Atlanta. I ask that everybody pray for us that we continue representing God's word in this part of the vineyard. Since I made mention of us meeting today on the forum, I though it only right to give an update on how blessed I was today meeting with Marques.
In His Will,
Charles
