So many times, as children of God, we tend to lose consciousness of His Presence with us. As a result, we find ourselves overwhelmed and defeated by the circumstances of life. I want to remind you that your faith is what overcomes the world. If you do not apply your faith you may not stand a chance against the storms of life. These storms come to everybody, no exceptions. But whenever the winds beat upon you they must find you founded upon The Rock of Ages. |
I want to share with you a testimony that will help you remember your roots in Christ. It is a tale like no other, and comes from the depths of my heart, and the contents of this tale are true.
Some 3 years ago I was in one of those positions where the circumstances of life caved in on me. As a man of Goind, I could in no wise yield that easy for I am loaded with the knowledge of the principles of the Kingdom of God. I had been battling for an entire year with these circumstances, and at that point I was nearing defeat. So I took one of my cars one weekday morning around 4am, and I drove to a secluded place (it was actually near a mine in the Free State Province).
I parked the car in that area, and I spoke these words to the Lord my God "Lord, I have done all that a man can do, now all that is left is only what You can do. I will no longer do anything about this matter, it is up to You now." The tears poured out of my overheating face, propelled by emotions I had been bottling up for over a year!
I then drove back home, and immediately fell into one peaceful sleep.
Around 7am, an old friend of mine called (he is a prophet of God). He asked how I was, and I told him I was fine. He objected, and demanded that I answer him truthfully! I told him that I am in financial ruin, and explained to him the bitter days I had just faced. He was moved with compassion, for the Lord had already communicated with him that morning about me. So he drove over 3hrs to meet me in person. And when we met, the tables turned! To cut the long story short, a huge lump sum of money was transferred into my account to do business with.
And so I broke free from circumstances that came crashing over me!
My point is this: WE CARRY SO MANY NEEDLESS PAINS, ALL BECAUSE WE DO NOT CARRY EVERYTHING TO GOD IN PRAYER.
