Have you received your stimulus check yet??
"For your Father knows what you need before you ask him."
I was given to start this blog so that people can affirm how their heavenly father has provided for them in these trying times, and people who are in despair can read about those believers who God has provided for, in their lives. If you have recently received some gift or funds or assets, that came to you through no help of your own, by circumstance or by prayer, give witness in this blog so that others can know that we have the ultimate provider who knows our every need and who will provide for us in these trying times.
Here is my story: I work a month in advance of receiving payment. So the work that I complete in February I receive payment in March. In Oct., Nov, and Dec., of 2008 my income was good and I planned to have similar income for the coming year, 2009. I worked in January and only made half of my income. In February, I only made one eight of my income and I knew that March would be a banner month for me because of the schedule of events that I had planned to work. I thought that I needed to increase my income so I hired other people to help me and spent money to do so. That did not work because I barely made costs to cover the expense of the people that I hired. The second event of March, I planned perfectly so that I would maximize my results and increase my income. This was a four day event that I was scheduled to work. I rented vehicles and traveled out of town to increase my chances of positive results. The first day of the event was moved back from a Thursday to a Friday so I did not get to start when I wanted. Friday, I started to work and found that all my plans were to no avail. My efforts did not yield income for the next month. During this entire time I was reading the Bible every morning to start my day. I read that my father knows my needs even before I ask him and I believed that he would provide for me. But my plans had gone so awry that I became sick with despair and pain that Saturday and could not work. I felt doomed becuse I would not be able to pay my bills and provide for my family without this income. There were three events scheduled for March. I had worked two of them and had only made enough to cover my expenses. I planned for the third and final event and made preparations to begin to work the event on the Saturday at the end of the month. That Friday I received my stimulus check in the mail. I had no idea it was coming and had no hand in making it happen. My heavenly father provided for me and made it possible for me to pay my bills for the entire month of April. "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow; for tomorrow will have anxieties of its own."

THE SEED
Our Choices
If you had a choice, right now, to choose to be with Christ Jesus in heaven would you choose to do so? Being human and having the power of choice, can we choose to ask God to grant us a wish? You see, there are three realms, earth, heaven, and hell. We live on the earth in the now, and we believe, as Christians, that at some point Christ will return to the earth and judge us in the final days. Between now and judgement day, death will end our stay on earth and God will judge our fate when that happens.
Christ said: "And all things whatever you ask for in prayer, believing, you shall receive." What if, we asked God to stop this game that is being played out on earth, and grant us the one wish of living with him in heaven right now. What if, we choose to not allow Satan any more control over our lives and our future and made the decision to ask God to end this game. What if we, as human beings, with the power of choice, made a conscious decision to choose Christ Jesus, right now, over the day to day challenges and temptations that Satan offers.
Say, if in 2015, we were able to gather 9 billion, or 8 billion or 5 billion people, Jews, Catholics, Baptists, Protestants, Jahovah Witnessers, Lutherians, Episcapalians, Muslims, Buddists, Hindu’s, and every other worshiper, together to pray to God, asking him to bring us home. If we ask Jesus Christ to come, would he be with us??? If we asked him to bring us home to his kingdom in heaven, would we receive??? Do you want to stop playing this earthly game??? Our home is in heaven and not here on earth. Is that a challenge?? Can you see the vision???
Christ has said: "And I say to you, ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened." We can ask billions of people to take one moment in time to act as one, crying out to God, our heavenly Father, "Take us home." OH GOD, take us from the land of the Pharaohs!!! Take us from the hands of evil, bring us home to your kingdom!!! Can we ask strong enough?? Can we ask hard enough?? Can we ask loud enough??? Do you believe???
Christ said: "And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Amen, amen, I say to you, if you ask the Father anything in my name, he will give it to you. Hitherto you have not asked anything in my name. Ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full." Do we want to be filled with eternal joy?? Why have we not asked???
Can you imagine how we can make this happen?? Can you understand the power that God has given us in order that we may choose our own destiny, right now. We don’t have to wait until tomorrow, while Satan tricks and traps millions more souls into the fires of hell!!! The decision is ours. Can we choose?? Can we make this happen?? Can we start a holy movement around the world and set the date of our going home??? Or are our hearts hardened so much by this earthly realm that we can not conceive of the idea that God will grant our request???
Christ said: " I say to you further, that if two of you shall agree on earth about anything at all for which they ask, it shall be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together for my sake, there am I in the midst of them." Christ come into the mist of millions, of billions and grant our wish!!!

I did not think that I would receive my check before my house payment was due on Monday 4/13/09. Of course I could make the payment late, but that would entail a late charge added onto the existing late fees that we have already. I called the company to see if they had sent the payment and they confirmed that it was on the way. I did not know if I would receive it in time to make the payment. It came on time and I am able to make my deposit so that my house payment will be made ontime. I worry about other things that are happening in my life, other needs that I have. Will I have provisions for those also? I need new tires for our car, the car has 80,000+ miles and we need a newer model, the mortgagge is 3 months behind and interest increases everyday, we filed bankruptcy in the past two years and have no credit. With the credit crunch, will we be able to get any credit to refinance the mortgage at a reasonable rate?? There is no retirement fund to rely on for future income, there is no savings in the bank, the house is in need of serious repair, and I only work as an independent contractor making $5 and $10 jobs each day. Will God provide for my needs?? Does he know how I worry about tommorrow?? Will he provide for me?? That other voice tells me to be anxious, to worry. That other voice tells me to be afraid. Yet, I try to remain calm and to be at peace, to not worry. The Bible says that my Father knows that I need all these things and that he will provide them to me. Can I trust in those words?? Can I believe in them?? Can I know them such that they are true?? Can I act on them so much so that I cast out all caution, cast out all worry, cast out all anxiety and shout for joy because I know that I am provided for?? Will God be my economic stimulus plan for recovery??
ReplyDeleteToday I took a look at my income needs for the month of May. What I have coming in and what I need to meet my expenses do not match. Granted there is time to make money, but how. My mind wants me to be afraid, to worry, to panic. Am I not rational at this time?? Should I not be concerned?? My belief is tested. I stand at the crossroads of time and ponder the path I should take. My sense of reality says that I am withdrawn and disassociated from what is about to happen to me. Each day that I read this Bible and listen to programs, I am drawn more and more into the lines on the page. It says, "Seek first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be given you besides." Will God provide for all my needs??
ReplyDeleteThis past Thursday I had to travel some 65 miles to a job site. On the way back my vehicle skipped and almost cut off while traveling 70 mph. The skipping caused the service engine light to come on. When that happened I knew immediately that I had to do something to correct the problem. The next day on Friday I had the oil changed, thinking that the service personnel could help me with the service engine light. I first got a quote of $75 to complete a diagnostic of why the light was on, which would tell what work was needed to reverse the problem. I had already set aside some funds to pay for the car insurance which came due on the 26th of April and only had about $120 left. I took the car to another location and they quoted me a charge of $35 for the diagnostics and about $38 for th oil change. Well the diagnostics came back with $0 charge and I was instructed to take the car to the dealer and the service may be covered under warranty.
ReplyDeleteMy heavenly Father knows what I need before I asks Him. I needed to have the car fixed so I can work without fear of it breaking down. I tried to get it fixed by taking it to a dealer. They told me that it was not under warranty and the cost would be $1,026 to cover the service engine light problem and other items in need of repair. I did not have the money to get the work done.
Sometimes in my life's experiences I have made attempts to do things myself to no avail. We have a saying in the rooms of NA, that if we try to do it once and it does not happen and we try a second time then put it on the shelf and turn it over to God to let Him handle it. This is what I have had to do in the past. The service engine light stopped. I used the cruise control and the car skipped and it came on again. Today it is off again and I have to trust that God will take car of this problem. I have to know without any hesitation or doubt that my heavenly Father knows my needs and will provide for me.
Today, Saturday, I hit a pothole. A BIG pothole, that left the front passenger side wobbly, letting me know that something was wrong. My thoughts were, damn!! Something else to worry about. Will God provide for this also?? How will this be corrected?? I have to work next Saturday where I need to drive around town to different locations. How will I get the car fixed? My heart is pounding and fear creeps in on me, making me want to worry, to fear, to think about taking control, to fix the problem. Fear wants me to wonder if my God knows my needs even before I ask Him. Will he supply this need?? I am now fighting to keep back the thoughts that want to make me fear about the future. Do I put it off and out of my mind? Am I procrastinating, avoiding reality, or do I continue to believe that God will supply my needs. Do I close the door to fear and anxiety?? I want to be at peace. I choose to believe and to put this problem in God's hands and wait to let him provide the solution. Support me in your belief. Can you tell me what God has done for you to let me know that I am not alone?
