February 8th, 2008PLEASE PRAY
I write this tonight with a very heavy Heart. I hope that I can count on all my Brothers in Christ to pray for my family.
Here is what is going on. My wife has been told that she needs to do certain things or lose her job. She is a School teacher. So she makes pretty good money.
Me I just work from home and take care of the house etc. I don’t have a degree, ao all i can get a minimum wage jobs. So Please I ask all of you please pray for my family.
Thank you

Personally, I tithe and give offerings because of the promises of Malachi 3:10. When I am faced with a challenge, often I will give an offering and a prayer request at the same time into a ministry where prayer partners can pray with me. This is no different than in the Old Testament where people came with various offerings for various reasons. It works for me. God honors it. Many prayers have been answered. Also, another thought…and I have found this to be true over the years. What we call “bad” is often happening because it is the only way to get us out of our box. We get too comfortable and aren’t sensitive to the Spirit so something has to happen to get us to seek God and pray and move into different habit patterns than we would normally walk in if we were not too “comfortable.” Let me give you an example…a very current one. One morning about a week ago I woke up with a bad back ache. I never had a problem like this before. During the day, I could not easily rise from a chair…I had to lean forward and push myself up with some support from a table. I prayed for healing and confessed healing scriptures, but for the first time, I thought about getting a back brace to help me. So I went to a store I felt I should go to and there met, for the second time, in a city of 200,000, a person I was supposed to talk to…I’ve had information she needed every time I talked to her. So I felt the whole incident was to get me to that store as I would not have been there otherwise. Don’t ask me to theologically explain that…I can’t, I’m just telling you my experience. I know God is good and God gives only good, but he certainly can use “bad” things. God did heal me, I never did use the brace. Then, a second outcome of the same “bad” experience was this. Yesterday someone was talking about a back problem and turned to me and said, “Did that ever happen to you?” I said, “Yes, last week, and the Lord healed me.” And he said, “I need to pray, I haven’t prayed for a couple of years.” And I said, “Then it’s time.” None of that would have happened if the “bad” situation had not broken me out of my comfort zone. “All things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to His purpose.” So I would suggest seeking God if there are not some messages He is trying to get to you as well in all this. I know I can get focused on the one result I want, but I have learned over the years, it is not about me. Very often, more than one thing is being accomplished in any one situation. I know when the stress is on, it can be difficult to stop and pray and listen, but I would suggest that and also read Malachi 3:10 and the surrounding scriptures.
