Do you really trust FATHER’S plan for your life?
One of our beloved sisters expressed appreciation for the testimony I shared in the financial area and asked me to share some more with the readers.
In 1995, all was going well until March. Suddenly, the revenue from my business abruptly dried up. When I went to FATHER, HE told me that I had entered the wilderness and I knew immediately it would be for eighteen months. My wife and I braced for it as best we could. No matter what I did, I could not produce revenue.
At the time, I awoke each morning at 5 AM and prayed for at least one hour… mostly in Tongues. There were mornings that time extended to 2 to 3 hours. Why not, I wasn’t going to generate income when I arrived at the office.
Months went by and we were using our savings to stay afloat. It got to the point where my wife cried and asked “Why is FATHER doing this to us?” I reassured her that this was a test of faith. It looked like we would file bankruptcy if something didn’t change soon.
In the spring of 1996, about twelve months into the wilderness adventure, my wife had a dream about a property we had purchased back in the early 1980’s. In the dream, she was given a specific price we were to ask for the property. She wanted to build her dream beach house on the property so I had not brought up the possibility of liquidating the property.
The dream occurred on Thursday night and she woke up and told me we were to sell the property for the price in the dream. We had received a flyer from a real estate agent in the area so on that day I called her and told her of our decision to sell. When I told her the price, she said that it was well above the market. Nonetheless, she would price it accordingly. It was the off season with very little traffic in the area, not the ideal time in the natural to sell property.
The next morning (Saturday) she placed a sign on the property and as she was walking away, a man showed up and asked the price. When she told him, he indicated that he wanted to buy it. We had not even signed the real estate agreement with her.
At closing, the man commented, “I know I am paying too much for this property but I just want it.” The money from the sale took care of us until the eighteen months was completed. Soon afterward, revenue began to flow again and has not been an issue since. Yes, my faith in HIS Word was tested.
It is written in Deuteronomy chapter 8:
18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”
The sale occurred within 24 hours of us contacting the realtor and was closed in record time. We never even met the man or the realtor face to face. We thanked FATHER for HIS unfailing Word and Love for us. HE is willing to do similar things for all HIS Sons and Daughters.
