When I was a newly Christian and learning the ways of God, I wasn't working and I had a medical bill that was due soon. Anyway when I was in church I heard testimony of how someone needed money for whatever reason and someone would go up to the person who needed the money and they would approach the person and say the Lord told me to give you this and it was the amount they needed for whatever the reason they needed it for I must-have heard at least 3 or 4 testimony from people. So in my mind I thinking well that's how God is going to meet my needs. Anyway for me that didn't happen nobody came up to me with the money for my medical bill. Anyway one day I was worshipping the Lord in my living room and I had a nudge to check my mail box. Well when I check the mail there was a letter from the IRS and I remember thinking oh no here I have this medical bill now the IRS is sending me this letter most likely I owe them money. Well I open the letter from the IRS and in the letter they said that I made a mistake on my taxs and they going to refund me going back 3 years, well the check was more than what I owe the medical bill. You see the first thing I did was give 10 percent to the church I was attending than I went to the hospital and paid the bill in full and I had enough money to hold me until I got a full time job which I believe was like 2 weeks later. Well you should have seen me jumping up and down praising God and thanking him for this miracle and the details of meeting my needs He could have just have given enough to pay my medical bill, but he gave more to give back to him and sustained me to my next job. I learned a important lesson and that is never try to figure out how God's going to meet your needs, because He'll do it like the "Wow" factor like how is it possible that God uses the IRS to meet your needs. Mind blowing. God is good and faithful! And He has hundreds or maybe thousands of ways to meet your needs. Keep your eye on Jesus and not the problem and your get to the other side.
What if you’ve done something so bad, you feel it would be wrong to continue on living a new life, even if we completely change our ways? Also what is the meaning of forgiveness? I feel sorry for what I’ve done, but idk what forgiveness really means
Thank you so much for this. It just helped me with my fear of loosing someone I love in my life yet my life also on earth is temporary. I should focus on God
Where I live now so little accountability measures left to own honor people devour each other I cannot imagine doing that...it's tough Only thing God ever said to me about being homeless was that water sinks to its own level they swim in a sea of bitterness don't ever swim with them and hit a true they are in a water ballet ruled by bitterness...so but God actually gave me a promise so I have gumption for that gratefully
