So I had a run in with my boss that got a bit heated. On the drive home with my coworker*not my boss* I began to fall back into some fear and anxiety over possible consequences over what had happened but mid stream I shifted to speaking and declaring faith.
I began to speak that ,"The steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord." I spoke that if that job is where God has me that there is nothing that will move me and that if He had something different that nothing can hold that door closed.
I wasnt speaking in a "Name it or claim it" kinda way but just acknowledging that I am very careful to seek His will in my decisions and when that decision is clear I throw myself into jumping into that direction knowing He will make a way, or digging in my heels knowing I stand on His word and I wont be moved.
So I began to just move in faith and began to speak faith over my coworker. My coworker had just been evicted and they quickly had found a place but it was a horrible fixerupper so it was a fryingpan to the fire kinda scenario.
I asked God to open doors and give him favor as a testimony that there was a God that moved in the affairs of men and that had a hand on his life. I prayed that a more favorable housing situation would come open for them.
Flash to the next day....
Us 3 guys were showing up at a hostile service call. The customer had been having rude and heated interactions with my manager and now we were showing up to play in the ant bed.
So my fat self, the tiny skinny new guy and my fellow large fellow*albeit much taller, stronger and darker* walk into this house to fix this washer, grumpy man, grumpy woman. Older couple, we get it fixed and coworker asked if the customer ever found anyone to buy their house and thats when I hear,"No, but Ill sell it to you rent to own for $400 a month until its paid off and then Ill sign it over to you."
Yall, my coworkers eyes got huge, he turns to me nearly shrieking ,"THIS MAN PRAYED THIS OVER ME LAST NIGHT!!!!!!"
I just stood there grinning like an idiot like,"Really God? All the mess that we've been through and I pray for this guy and you drop this in his lap?"
Instantly in my spirit I saw myself as a very young child pouting next to his father as his father that owned a business gave a customer something the child wanted.
I understood the comparison immediately...repented and then rejoiced for my friend.
Its on 4 acres, 4 car garage, several sheds shops and a air conditioned out building that looks like some kind of suite or living quarters. Large open den off the garage with vaulted ceilings, laundry room thats large and doubles as a walk in pantry room, very nice sized kitchen...probably a 3br2bath at the least.
For 50 less than the apt I rent that Ill never own.
And its looking like my friend may be passing up that deal so I told him Id give him first dibs but after 30 days Im going for it.
And I just got a promotion as well...and I possibly will be the store manager within a year.
Someone in the church is updating their vehicle and has offered my wife her old vehicle for free.
All this after going through some pretty horrible battles over the last few months...Im serious yall God has done some major miracles for us above and beyond what Im detailing here.
I appreciate each and every one of you that have spoken our names in prayer.
