What is something you would be willing to share that you knew came from the lord. With no doubt, you were just like yep the lord did this.

This was years ago. Because of unforeseen circumstances I was in a bit of a financial rut and could not pay my rent. I prayed about it, and I was contacted by a church friend to visit about my situation. He told me that before I came over and shared with him my troubles, he had felt God put in his heart to forward money to me. I was surprised and not expecting it but because of it I was able to pay my rent that week. My friend also made it clear he didnt need to be repaid. Definitely that came from the Lord!

Hi Jacob, there are many instants in my life were I knew God was behind it. In general, I woud say surviving a very reckless lifestyle without any health consequecies or even dying. There were many times I knew I could have died... God chose me when I didn't choose him.

I am alive today! Sounds trite? It is not. I should not be, not after what I experienced in 2016. It is soly because of God that I am alive today!

Yup, God has done that!

What He has not kept me from, He has kept me through! Far too many examples to list here, but I know each and every one of them, and remember each and every time He stepped in and "carried my through."

God is so good.

For me, its the small things that I realise after the fact. Like when I was absolutely torn up with guilt over my ability to forgive certain people who had deliberately hurt me. Everytime I stand to pray I would quote Mark 11:25 but then a few hours later I would be chatting with someone and the name of one of these people will come up and I will launch into a tirade about what they did and how I would never accommodate them ever again. I'd done fasting to root out what seemed like a stronghold but for some reason the thought of these people still took me back to that dark place of resentment. Then one day (a few weeks ago), after one of my latest episodes, I randomly clicked on a YouTube video of Pastor Kevin L. A. Ewing and there was a 2 hr teaching on forgiveness. The more I listened the more at peace I felt. I did not notice anything, one way or the other, until the name of one of them came up again. I seem to have lost all thoughts about them and how they affected me. Needless to say I did not forget to thank the Lord during my devotion on that day, as it ocurred to me that the lord reached out and helped me overcome the emotional pain. I am still grateful!

He is indeed a magnificent God! Be strong & courageous……………He will never leave you or forsake you (Deut 31:6)

I remember once i took a crumpled up 1 dollar bill that i had found and i said something along the lines of blessings and Gods will be done over finances and anyone i interact with and then i blew on it symbolizing His spirit over it, then i crumpled it back up and threw it on the table and forgot about it. The next day the same hour someone i had given 1k several months ago and forgot about showed up out of nowhere and reluctantly gives it back while they were still having money issues. I told them they could keep it but they insisted and while we just hung out and talked for a while i kept noticing them checking their phone. Apparently while we were hanging out and just talking 4 different checks and some other unexplained money went into their bank account and it was exactly what they needed.
