Testimony Time

I prayed and He delivered

I did a week long fast in January and since then I have done about half a dozen fasts. After the first week I was upset. Surely, I thought, during my one week of fasting God's great blessings would come down on me. I finished fasting the Saturday at sunset, went to church the next day and woke up on Monday depressed as anything. No miracle.

But then, at around 10am I received an email. I got a writing assignment from a magazine I applied to write for.

Since then the blessings have come in slowly but surely. Obviously there are the big ones like health and live, no accident etc. but the ones that I have prayed for are coming.

The best thing since I became more dedicated with Him, through prayer, devotion (bible reading), fasting and fellowship, He has smiled on me in great ways and I know more blessings are to come.

You Ask and HE Gives

"Life and Death are in the power of the tongue; those who love it shall eat its fruit." Prov 18.21

You pray for a job and you get an offer for a minimum wage one. It's totally not what you want but its a job right? Sometimes it feels like God has a serious sense of humour when you get what you technically asked for.

In situations like that it is imperative that you use discernment. Is God sending this to you because He knows it's better for you or is He testing you to see if you know what you really want?

Either way, His answers to prayer are always from love, lesson or not. Like the old saying and proverbs say, be careful what you ask for.
