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.

"THE POWER OF PRAYER" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
THE POWER OF PRAYER
SOMEONE OUT THERE IS REALLY IN NEED OF HELP TODAY. DO YOU KNOW WHO IT IS? IS IT YOU? IS IT A FAMILY MEMBER, A FRIEND OR A NEIGHBOR? CAN YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE IN BAD NEED OF SOMETHING AND YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO DO? DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT IT FELT LIKE WHEN YOU GOT WHAT YOU NEEDED? WASN'T THAT A GREAT FEELING.
YOU OR THIS PERSON MIGHT NEED A LITTLE HELP ON THEIR RENT OR HOUSE PAYMENT. IT MIGHT BE THEY NEED A LITTLE GROCERY MONEY OR MONEY FOR SOMETHING ELSE. WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE AND HELP THEM. SOMETIMES THEY WILL LET YOU KNOW AND SOMETIMES WE CAN JUST TELL ANYWAY. IF YOU CAN'T HELP THEM FINANCIALLY, PRAY FOR THEM. WE ALL CAN DO SOMETHING.
PRAYER REALLY WORKS. I WILL TELL YOU HOW I KNOW. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS HOUSE I AM LIVING IN TODAY, I NEEDED $700 FOR FLOOD INSURANCE BEFORE THE BANK WOULD LET US CLOSE AND IT HAD TO BE DONE BY THE NEXT MONDAY AND IT WAS FRIDAY. THE REASON FOR THE RUSH WAS THAT A HURRICANE WAS CLOSE AND IF THEY PUT OUT A WARNING, THE INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD NOT ISSUE A POLICY AND NO INSURANCE, NO CLOSING.
I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY AND DIDN'T KNOW WHERE I WAS GOING TO GET IT. MARY JANE AND I HAD PRAYED THAT MORNING AND WE KNEW GOD HAD NOT BROUGHT US THAT FAR NOT TO FINISH WHAT HE HAD STARTED. IT WAS ONLY THROUGH HIM THAT WE GOT FINANCING IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT THAT IS ANOTHER STORY.
WELL, THAT FRIDAY I PICKED UP MY SON FROM SCHOOL AND WE STOPPED BY THE MAIL BOX IN THE APARTMENT COMPLEX WE LIVED IN. THERE WAS A REGISTERED LETTER NOTICE THERE AND WE WENT TO THE POST OFFICE TO PICK IT UP. HERE IS THE FIRST MIRACLE, IT WAS ALREADY BACK AT THE POST OFFICE. THE SECOND MIRACLE WAS THAT IT WAS A CHECK FOR $700 FROM MY MOM'S ESTATE. SHE HAD DIED ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE AND MY BROTHER HAD SOLD HERE PLACE AND PAID OFF ALL HER DEBTS AND DIVIDED THE REST AMONG ALL THE NINE CHILDREN. WE ALL GOT $700 AND THAT WAS WHAT I NEEDED FOR THE FLOOD INSURANCE. I CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY, GOT THE POLICY AND WE CLOSED THE FOLLOWING WEEK. NOW TELL ME THAT WASN'T GOD. SO AGAIN, PRAYER REALLY WORKS AND GOD IS FAITHFUL TO KEEP HIS PROMISES IF WE WILL ONLY TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD AND HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE IT.
DON'T EVER UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF PRAYER. JESUS SAID TO ASK, BELIEVING YOU HAVE RECEIVED, AND YOU SHALL HAVE IT. HE ALSO SAID WHATEVER YOU ASK GOD FOR IN HIS NAME, GOD WILL DO IT FOR YOU. IT DOESN'T GET MUCH CLEARER THAN THAT.
SO, IF YOU CAN'T HELP IN ANY OTHER WAY, JUST PRAY. GOD KNOWS WHOSE HEART TO TOUCH AND THE ONE WHO IS IN NEED WILL GET THEIR HELP. AND, IF IT IS YOU THAT NEEDS THE HELP AND SOMEONE GIVES IT TO YOU, PLEASE TAKE IT. YOU WILL BE BLESSED AND THE PERSON GIVING IT TO YOU WILL BE BLESSED. GOD USES MEN TO SUPPLY THE NEEDS OF SOME AND JESUS SAYS IN LUKE 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. WHEN YOU GET BACK ON YOUR FEET, GIVE TO HELP SOMEONE ELSE.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
