About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

A PRAISE REPORT
A PRAISE REPORT
I WROTE ABOUT THIS A LONG TIME AGO BUT I WOULD LIKE TO WRITE IT AGAIN SINCE I HAVE A LOT OF NEW FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK AND THIS WILL SHOW THEM HOW FAITHFUL JESUS IS. IT IS A PRAISE REPORT AND HAPPENED ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO.
I WAS MANAGING A MARINA, HERE IN FLORIDA, AND WHEN IT WAS SOLD, THE NEW OWNERS LET ME GO. THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES AS THEY WANT THEIR OWN PEOPLE IN THERE. I WAS MAKING $25,000 A YEAR BACK THEN AND IT WAS GOOD MONEY FOR THE TIME. I HAD A NICE HOUSE, TWO CARS AND FOUND THAT I COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH THE PAYMENTS AS I WAS OUT OF A JOB.
WELL, I FOUND A JOB RIGHT AWAY BUT IT WAS MAKING MINIMUM WAGE SO I LOST THE HOUSE, ONE OF THE CARS AND HAD TO MOVED IN WITH MY MOTHER- IN-LAW. THE BANK PUT A JUDGEMENT AGAINST ME FOR $25,000 SINCE THEY SOLD THE HOUSE FOR LESS THAN IT WAS WORTH. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID THEY WOULD TAKE IT BECAUSE OF THE JUDGEMENT AND I HAD TO PAID ALL MY BILLS WITH MONEY ORDERS.
WE FINALLY MOVED INTO A SMALL APARTMENT AND, AT A TIME LIKE THIS, YOU EITHER GET VERY CLOSE TO GOD OR TURN AWAY FROM HIM. I REALLY GOT CLOSE TO HIM AND ASKED FORGIVENESS FOR NOT BEING A GOOD STEWARD OF THE MONEY HE HAD PROVIDED ME ALL THOSE YEARS AS WE HAD NOT PUT BACK ANYTHING FOR EMERGENCIES. I ASK HIM FOR A NEW HOME AND STARTED THANKING HIM FOR IT BECAUSE I BELIEVED I HAD IT. THE BIBLE SAYS IN MARK 11:24 "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." I REALLY BELIEVED.
EVERY MORNING I WOULD THANK GOD FOR MY NEW HOME. I WOULD EVEN ASK GOD TO STATION HIS ANGELS AROUND IT TO KEEP IT SAFE FOR US. AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS I FELT GOD WAS TELLING ME TO GO OUT AND FIND A HOME. EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MARY JANE AND I WOULD GO OUT LOOKING AT HOUSES. WE FINALLY FOUND THE HOUSE THAT WE LIVE IN NOW BUT WITH A $25,000 JUDGEMENT AGAINST US, IT LOOKED HOPELESS TO US BUT NOT TO GOD. WE TOLD THE REAL ESTATE AGENT ABOUT THE JUDGEMENT AND HE SAID TO LET HIM SEE WHAT HE COULD DO. WELL, GOD MADE THE JUDGEMENT GO AWAY, IT HAD TO BE HIM, AND THE AGENT GOT US APPROVED FOR $95,000 AND HE SAID TO GO LOOK FOR A HOUSE. WE TOLD HIM THAT WE HAD FOUND ONE BUT DIDN'T THINK WE COULD AFFORD IT. THE HOUSES AROUND US WERE SELLING FOR $150,000 TO $200.000 AND IT WAS ON AN ACRE AND A QUARTER. THE OWNERS OF THE HOUSE WERE BIG RIG TRUCK DRIVERS AND WANTED TO GO OUT ON THE ROAD FULL TIME AND HE SOLD IT TO US FOR $92,000 AND PAID THE CLOSING COST. NOW TELL ME THAT WAS NOT A MIRACLE.
MY ADVICE TO YOU ALL IS TO BE READY TO RECEIVE WHAT YOU HAVE PRAYED FOR. REMEMBER THE ISRAELITES AND BE PREPARED LIKE THEY WERE. GOD HAD PROMISED THEY WOULD BE DELIVERED SO THEY ATE THE PASSOVER MEAL BY FAITH, PACKED THEIR BELONGINGS AND WAS READY TO GO THE NEXT MORNING. GOD IS FAITHFUL. MATTHEW 7:7-8 SAYS "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." ASK WHAT YOU WILL BUT BE READY TO RECEIVE.
I PRAY THAT THIS HELPED TO BUILD SOMEONE'S FAITH. GOD HAS A MIRACLE FOR YOU AND HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE IT. JUST TRUST IN HIM AND LET HIM LEAD THE WAY ON EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
