Financial Testimony

I recently was privileged to help three different individuals who were in a bind (two on here; one single mom at our church). I love to sow when I feel like it's good ground! I just received a blessing from the Lord that was totally unexpected and it far exceeds what I gave out over the past month or so. God is so good; you really cannot outgive Him!!

Just had to share some good financial news, in the midst of all the bad stuff about the economy. God is still my source!

He really is...I keep being reminded of this right now too.

I'm so very glad that you've been blessed.

Luk 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Its good to hear a liitle GOOD financial news for a change. Notice the above verse: "...shall men give into your bosom"

I was able to provide a little assistance to someone recently and, this past week, God did it again.

From a totally unexpected source: 165.00

And I was able to buy about 3000.00 worth of antique furniture for 300.00.

Re: Financial Testimony

I am believing God for a miracle in the realm of finances and I believe I'll get one too.

Re: Financial Testimony

My mom learned this lesson in a big way one year. Maybe I've told you this before............

She and my dad were poor. Always have been. So one year my dad got a turkey from work just before Thanksgiving. Mom put it in the freezer to save for the holiday. Then someone else brought her another turkey. So she gave that one to another family she knew who was in need at the time. She couldn't see having two when someone else needed one. The next day or so someone else brought her groceries and TWO turkeys! She shared those turkeys with other people she knew needed them. And wouldn't you know........a couple days later my cousin called and said that their food bank at their church had made up more baskets for Thanksgiving than they had names to give them to, so would Mom mind taking one? She said sure. And Eileen brought her out FOUR!! Four baskets of food and FOUR TURKEYS!!

She threw her hands up in the air and said, "ok, God, I give up! I've learned. I cannot outgive you!" LOL!!!

My mom was not a Christian when I was growing up, so this was a huge lesson for her
