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.

"GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
MOST OF YOU KNOW MY STORY AS I HAVE TOLD IT A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE BUT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT HEARD IT, I HOPE IT WILL BUILD YOUR FAITH. DON'T TAKE GOD'S PROMISES LIGHTLY. THIS IS HOW GOD KEPT HIS PROMISE TO ME.
A FEW YEARS AGO I WAS MANAGING A MARINA, HERE IN FLORIDA. THE MARINA WAS SOLD AND I WAS LET GO. AT THAT TIME I WAS MAKING BETTER THAN $25,000 A YEAR AND THAT WAS GOOD MONEY BACK THEN. I OWNED A NICE HOUSE, TWO CARS AND WAS LIVING "HIGH ON THE HOG", AS THEY SAY.
WELL, I FOUND A JOB RIGHT AWAY BUT WAS ONLY MAKING MINIMUM WAGE. WITH A HOUSE PAYMENT OF $1,200 AND A CAR PAYMENTS OF OVER $500, I WAS IN TROUBLE. I LOST THE HOUSE AND HAD TO MOVE IN WITH MY IN-LAWS. I HAD A JUDGEMENT AGAINST ME FOR $25,000 AS THE BANK SOLD THE HOUSE FOR LESS THAN I OWED SO THEY SAID I OWED IT TO THEM. I COULD NOT EVEN HAVE A CHECKING ACCOUNT AS I WAS AFRAID THEY WOULD TAKE WHAT LITTLE MONEY I WAS MAKING.
AT TIMES LIKE THIS YOU EITHER GET VERY CLOSE TO GOD OR TURN AWAY FROM HIM. I REALLY GOT CLOSE TO HIM AND ASK HIM TO TAKE CARE OF THINGS FOR ME BECAUSE I HAD REALLY SCREWED UP BY NOT TAKING BETTER CARE OF MY MONEY. I ASKED GOD FOR A NEW HOME. 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 TOOK GOD AT HIS WORD AND REALLY BELIEVED I HAD A NEW HOME. I COULD ACTUALLY PICTURE IT IN MY MIND.
EVERY MORNING I WOULD THANK GOD FOR MY NEW HOME. AFTER A FEW WEEKS I FELT GOD WAS TELLING ME TO GET OUT AND LOOK FOR MY HOME. EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MARY JANE AND I WOULD BE OUT LOOKING AT HOUSES. WE FOUND THIS PLACE WHERE WE LIVE NOW, HOWEVER, WITH A JUDGEMENT AGAINST ME AND NO MONEY FOR A DOWN PAYMENT AND THE HOUSE COSTING $92,000, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO BUT TO JUST KEEP THANKING GOD FOR THIS HOME.
WELL, GOD REMOVED THE JUDGEMENT AND I GOT APPROVED FOR A $95,000 LOAN AND BOUGHT THIS PLACE WITH NO DOWN PAYMENT OR CLOSING COST. THAT WAS GOD KEEPING HIS PROMISE TO ME.
BE PREPARED TO RECEIVE YOUR ANSWER WHEN YOU PRAY. REMEMBER THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. GOD HAD PROMISED THEY WOULD BE DELIVERED AND TOLD THEM WHAT THEY HAD TO DO SO THEY ATE THE PASSOVER MEAL BY FAITH, PACKED THEIR BELONGINGS AND WAS READY TO GO THAT NEXT MORNING. GET READY FOR YOUR PRAYERS TO BE ANSWERED. GOD IS FAITHFUL. MATTHEW 7:7 SAYS "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." SO ASK, BUT BE READY TO RECEIVE.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Thank you David for your story. Many have stories but they may not share them. I can relate in various ways.
I am sure many can too. The wages ones makes at work verses the wages of sin when forgiven can be a
positive thing. For some they started out with nothing and still have nothing. Few were born into a good life
whereas they appeared to be well off but later lost everything. The gospel says that Christ had nowhere to lay
his head. I admire you for sharing your story. I've seen worst. If capable a person should always work but
what defines a person is how God views them. Their heart/The soul. So many of us are led into buying so
many things we don't need. What matters most is how we treat others and if we do our own WILL or the
WILL of GOD. Bless you David.
Regarding your story that is why it is written without faith it is impossible to please God.
THANK YOU WAYNE. I KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE STORIES THEY COULD SHARE AND I WISH MORE PEOPLE WOULD. I BELIEVE THAT BY PEOPLE HEARING WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR OTHERS, IT MIGHT HELP BUILD THEIR FAITH.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS.
DAVID
