Chapter 2: Overcoming Fear (2)

Howard took the bread and the cup with grape juice from the faithful, and although it was not the first time he had partaken of the sacrament, he couldn't help but glance into the cup as he took it.

In the swaying crimson grape juice in the glass, you can faintly see some flocculent slowly settling to the bottom of the glass. Maybe it's the pulp sediment left behind after the grapes are juiced? Howard guessed so, skillfully finished the cake with the parishioners sitting next to him, and then drank the grape juice in the cup as the congregation raised their glasses in unison.

After the communion service, the pastor Love, who was wearing a long white robe and covered most of his face with a white cloth, stepped forward, holding a book that looked quite heavy in his hand and began to preach to the parishioners, accompanied by the organ in the church, he also began to chant words, the pastor's voice was not loud, and the language used to preach the sermon was not English that Howard was familiar with, but there was a wonderful magic in his tone, which not only made people feel relieved, but even if they couldn't understand what he was saying, The tone of voice also gives people the feeling that they can understand what the other person is trying to convey.

A large part of the reason why Howard regularly comes to this church to attend *** and pray is because of the pastor's wonderful sermons.

The fear and anxiety that had been lingering in his heart were soothed under the melodious and sacred melody of the organ, and Howard's tense spirit gradually relaxed, and under the refuge of Pastor Love's faint but reassuring words, the believers reverently closed their eyes and silently recited prayers in their hearts, the sun shone on the pastor through the stained glass, and the dust swayed in the morning light and reflected the glittering light, making the whole ceremony scene look particularly sacred and solemn.

After a period of time, the Sabbath service ended after the usual process, and many believers left with a look of satisfaction and peace of mind on their faces, obviously this weekly *** brought them spiritual comfort and satisfaction, but there were also many believers who still stayed in the church after the end of *** and did not leave.

Howard was also one of those believers who did not leave.

Of course, they stayed in the church and did not leave, not because they needed to confess and repent, nor did they want to stay in the church and continue to pray, but because they had other important things.

Hey, Howard!

The retired mercenary sitting on the bench heard someone calling him, turned his head to follow the sound, and found a young man who looked familiar with him waving to him: Hey! Brother, can I sit here?

Howard frowned: this young man he has had the impression of a few faces, most of the parishioners know each other's names, so it is not strange to know his name, he also knows the other party's name, but their relationship is only to the extent that the face and the name can match the number, so he frowned just because the other party was too natural and familiar.

Fortunately, this is a church that can let him down his guard and feel at ease, and the relationship between the previous Sabbath service has completely relaxed his spirit, so Howard is not almost nervously overalert as usual, but nods to him very kindly, indicating that he doesn't mind him sitting next to him.

You didn't leave either, did you? After getting Howard's approval, Rohoki sat down next to him, just like his exposed feeling, curiously asked the other party to ask the reason why he stayed here and did not leave: I heard that the church is going to hold a spiritual travel class this time, do you want to stay and sign up for that travel class?

Howard raised his eyelids and didn't look at him at all: No.

Although attending the Sabbath service can soothe Howard's tense spirit, it can only make him not overly vigilant like he is outside, and he may burst out and hurt people at any time because of a small thing, after all, faith is not a personality overwriting or cognitive modification, and it has not yet reached the level of making him change his temperament, so it is normal for him to be in a state of interest.

Rahoki didn't feel embarrassed either, as if he had known that the other party would react this way, and continued to push the topic forward on his own: Huh? Isn't it? I thought you heard about this spiritual travel class, so you stayed to sign up for the class, but do you know about that spiritual travel class?

I don't know.

You don't even know that?! Raohokie's voice suddenly raised a few degrees, attracting the sideways glances of several surrounding sect members, and he immediately noticed

He covered his mouth in his gaffe and whispered: Then what are you staying here for?

There are some questions I would like to ask Pastor Love.

Hey, why don't I tell you about the Mind Travel Class?

Exempt.

Don't be so quick to refuse! Anyway, the pastor hasn't come out yet, and listening to me won't drop a piece of meat. Ignoring Howard's objections, Rahoki began to talk about what he had heard from others, and it was said that the church was going to organize a spiritual travel class for believers who had been suffering from mental trauma and mental illness for a long time

Although Howard didn't listen to what he said, he quietly pricked up his ears when he heard this.

He showed that he could not escape the eyes of Raohoaky, and when he saw that the other party was interested, he immediately made a mysterious look, and continued: I heard that it seems that it is preparing to organize a group of believers who are willing to participate, and everyone will go on vacation together

We will worship together and pray to the Father, and the devotional program can also help some new believers quickly hear the gospel conveyed by the Father and the angels, so that the old believers can get closer to the glory of the Father and gain peace of soul and heart together. Hey, relaxing sounds like a great idea

However, this news has been spread for half a month, and there has been no follow-up movement.

Rohoki was talking to himself over there, and Howard didn't respond to him in the slightest after hearing it, but secretly calculated in his heart&ash;&ash;His PTSD is also a long-standing disease, although every time he comes to the church to participate, he can always get mental peace, but in a few days he will be tormented by the mental trauma of the past.

At this time, the believers who remained in the church began to stir.

Pastor Love is out!

Praise my Lord, pastor, do you have time now? I would like to ask you to help me understand what the angel meant by the gospel that was conveyed to me

Pastor Love, could you help me interpret the gospel I just heard yesterday?

Pastor Love, a good-looking man with deep eye sockets, had just finished cleaning up the pulpit with other parishioners, and the believers who had been waiting for a long time surrounded him.

Soon the crowd of believers around him left, and Howard finally found an opportunity to squeeze in front of Pastor Love.

&l;/div&g;

Yes, pastor, I have some questions that I would like to be answered from you. Howard nodded, throwing myself into the arms of the Heavenly Father made me feel more peaceful than I had ever been, every time I prayed to the Heavenly Father, every time I participated, I felt peace of soul. It's just that I wonder why I haven't been able to hear the gospel from the Father and the angels so far, and even the parishioners who entered at the same time as me have heard the gospel. Or is this a test for my Heavenly Father?

Reverend Love listened carefully to Howard's distress, his deep eyes fixed on the latter, and after a moment he had heard what he had said, a gentle smile on his face: "Don't worry about it, my brother. Your coming to *** every week proves that you are religious enough for your talents, but Heavenly Father naturally has Heavenly Father's reason for not preaching the gospel to you, and we can't speculate

If, though

If you still have any doubts about this, you may want to consider joining one of our spiritual travel classes, which will help you get closer to your Heavenly Father by joining a professional-led spiritual program
