time in two days to heal my wife's anemia. I asked Him to take care of the
hospital
bill for both deliveries. I asked for food. I asked for fuel. I asked for money.
I
asked for a new overcoat. The only one I had had a 4- or 5-inch hole in the hip
area. Then I quickly added that God knew whatever we needed, even before we
asked, and for Him to send whatever else He knew was a need. I rose and ran out
to meet my parents.
There was part of the prayer answered immediately! The back seat of the
car had been removed, and it was loaded with wood fuel. My mother had a large
covered pan with a cooked dinner, which needed only a warming over.
Next morning my wife's cheeks were red. The doctor was shocked! How did
she get all that iron in her blood so suddenly? The morning mail brought a
letter
from my wife's uncle with a settlement on her estate from her mother's
death--which paid the hospital bills in arrears and in advance for the
immediately expected child delivery. That day my brother insisted he buy me a
new overcoat, and late in the day a deal broke supplying money to pay our back
house rent. The next day my other brother drove up, saying he was leaving his
car
with me to use until my wife was in the hospital. She might have to go in the
middle of the night, and I did not then have a car. A day later my sister came
over
with a robe for my wife to wear in the hospital. I had not thought to ask for
that.
Brethren and co-workers, we need to fast and pray, to be sure we are IN
CLOSE CONTACT WITH THE GREAT GOD OF LOVE! Time is short. Christ's
Bride shall have made herself READY!
Yes, when our ways please God, He blesses us. Be sure we are all close to
GOD and faithful in each one, our own part in His Work! He is prospering His
Work! So much so, right now, that Satan is sure to STRIKE against it! Pray for
the
Work, and thanks for praying also for me.
With deep love in Jesus' name,
