Faithful Servant
Thank you for all who have prayed for me. I want to thank God here for all He has been doing in my life. My son, several years ago, told me he would get a full ride scholarship to the University of Arkansas, I saw him graduate high school last week, salutitorian of his class, with a minimum of $10,000.00 a year scholarship to that school, with a GPA of 3.98. This from a child in his early years of school was an average student.
God has blessed my business, with more work and more on the way. Several times this week, I would ask him to not let me leave a place without a check in my hand, or comformation of more work, and all I asked for was there waiting for me and always given to me without my asking the people for any of it. The Lord provided it all to me, and had it ready for me.
God is so good to us, I sometimes wonder why He cares so much for people like myself, who have walked in sin for so many years, and the reason He always tells me is because His love for us is that great. It's hard to imagine isn't it. How He can love us that much, just look at the sacrifice His Son made, providing salvation for everyone, including the ones who were torturing and killing Him. What an awsome and loving God.
Wednesday, the sermon I heard at first disappointed me, I thought it wasn't for me. Then later God spoke to my heart and I realized it was aimed directly at me. The preacher talked about how faith moves God, and how faithful prayer is not wrestling an answer from God, because He will not give us anything out of His will, but all that is in His will, He gladly gives. That changed my whole perception. No longer was I praying that I would find God's favor and begging Him for an answer, but able to stand there, washed in His Son's blood, and boldly petitioning Him as one of His children. I had earlier claimed the victory, but prayed to God that I was afraid that if it was not in His will, I didn't want to seem like I was above Him and demanding it to be done.
I know this is long, but I feel Him wanting me to tell someone out there, that you need to find His promise, stand firmly on that promise, and He is more than happy to give You whatever you ask for, for Him to be glorified. He loves you that much. If He didn't withhold His own Son from dying for us, all these other things are nothing compared to that. Stand in faith, knowing He has already given all this and more to you. Every scripture I've read of Jesus, when someone asked Him to help them, His only question would be, do you have faith that I will do this for you. Never did it come up if the person was worthy, or good enough, always did they have the faith.
I'll stop for now, but please there is someone out there that He is telling, grab the promise, never let anyone or anything take it from your hand. Just as no one can take us from the Fathers hand. God bless you all.
