Sometimes the way our prayers are answered, are not in the way we expect.
I've been praying for over 4 years for my new roof and floors. 2 weeks ago, my new roof went on. It wasn't that I had a large sum of money to do this, in fact I didn't!
A lot of folks don't understand that God is the source of income. We as humans think that our job (or a gov't agency) , is our source , but it isn't.
The scriptures state that if we are obedient and put God first, he knows what we need and He will supply.
God works with things in the natural world, by moving them around supernaturally, or bringing something to your attention you never knew before.
He works in our intuitions as well. If we listened and gave God credit, we would have a better guidance and radar system in place.
With my roof, I just "happened" to notice a sum of money connected with some finances and when I inquired, was told "Yes it was available to me". I had never seen this before, but it was there!
I took my business card and passed it to someone in my area, and asked for a call for an estimate. 2 weeks went by and no call. I was sitting here at my desk, closed my eyes and asked God for guidance, and a quick picture went through in my mind, with a truck, and the words "Fix My Roof" on it. I immediately knew who it was, called the man, and he knew who I was, and he came right away, gave me an estimate that was very reasonable and within my budget, and I have to say, he had the best co-ordinated crew, and they ran like a well- oiled machine. They started at 8am and by 3:30 they were done, and even cleaned the old leaves I had raked into a pile, and swept my sidewalks. I was impressed!
That little flash was God showing me that I would have favor if I used that company. It is my prayer that "Fix My Roof" will be a very blessed company, because that man helped me.
Rhona, this is a very touching story. I’m glad that your prayers were answered and you got a new roof, especially since you waited so long and didn’t think you had enough funds for it! I hope your roof proves to be as strong against bad weather as your faith is!
ReplyDeleteThis may be late, but I just want to say congratulations on the roof! I always believe that every problem has a solution, and I’m glad you found yours. You're such an inspirational, and I believe that you deserve what you received. Anyway, I hope your roof is still in good condition, and I hope you continue to inspire others.

Thank you Joanne, it's never to late to give a praise. The roof is holding well, and God is working on the floors now. *grin*
DeleteI have been praying for a new (to me) home already paid for. I know that home is coming, and I believe that it will be used to the glory of God. God always knows exactly what we need, and how He wants us to use the talents he has given us. I don't know how, I don't know when, I just know it's coming.
A few months ago I declared myself to be debt free by the end of 2013, and God showed me what to do and guided my footsteps. I will post when this happens. Have a wonderful day. And may God richly bless you.
This is a great inspiration! I’m also praying for a new roof but I think I still have to use my funds for other important expenses. I’m glad that the weather condition is great these days, because if heavy rains fall, my roof will have lots of leaks. Anyway, can you post photos of your new roof? Thanks, Rhona. :)
