GOD HAS OPENED THE FLOODGATE




Malachi 3 (New Living Translation)

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! 11 Your crops will be abundant, for I will guard them from insects and disease.[a] Your grapes will not fall from the vine before they are ripe,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

My son Zachary has been raising money for the Asia mission trip. I have been with many of you when I have asked you to pray for his fund raising. I have been with many of you when I gave a report from a proud but sometimes worried Dad. I felt led to ask for more than enough funds for the trip. I spoke the amount and asked you to pray with me about it and we prayed many times about the fund raising. Time went by and there were good reports but the whole amount was not suddenly brought in. Zachary was concerned but not really doubting but worried. Three weeks from the deadline Zachary had raised about $1000 dollars but needed about $3500 dollars. The whole Twenty Four Seven team set forward doing every concievable job and method of fund raising. I participated in one such project and never felt doubtful but questioned if God would increase our faith through the project. I never doubted or desired to change my mind about the amount but wondered if God would work in His own way and prove again just how faithful He is. Today April 27th,2007 I spoke to Zachary and he told me he believed he would go over the dollar amount I asked for and we all prayed about. I can truly give testimony that God is Faithful! My faith is increased! and God did it all just like He promised. God opened the flood gate for us and to us! Thank You God!!!! Thank You God!!!! Mr. Bill !!

Thanks for sharing, Bro. Bill. Wow, God is faithful, and "searching the earth to find those whose hearts are completely His, so He can show himself strong in his behalf!" May the Lord our God, continue to bear Zachary on eagles wings and grow his knowledge of the Holy, his faith, and his living in the wind of the Spirit! He is loved. -=db=-
