Resting In Jesus, Experiencing God’s Favor And Provision

I was saved when I was 23 years old and I’m now 52. I was introduced to Pastor Prince’s sermons when my sister passed me one of his CDs. I listened to that CD over and over again until I lost count. Before that, I felt condemned and had no hope. But the more I listened to that CD, the more hope began to fill my heart. Since then, my family and I have just continued to feed on the gospel by tuning to your sermons on television, the Web, DVDs and CDs.

One of my favorite DVDs is, The Benjamin Generation. When I heard that message, I cried and praised God for several hours that night. I serve an awesome God, who has done so much for me and my family since we started listening to the grace message.

First, He made a way for my sisters and me to watch Pastor Prince preach at Lakewood Church in Houston. Then, the IRS forgave a debt of several thousand dollars they said I owed. I was struggling financially and worrying about my bills, but now I’m resting in what Jesus did and the bills are getting paid every month. My business also picked up two new accounts this summer, and I was blessed with an unexpected amount of money from my business and overage in my Escrow account.

God also blessed me with a practically new stainless steel stove costing more than $2,000 that I only had to pay $750 for. He even blessed me with a small vacation this summer when I haven’t had a vacation for more than 20 years since my divorce. Above all, He restored my relationship with my daughter.

Today, I have the shalom-peace of God! I used to worry about a life partner but now, I’m not anxious anymore because I believe that God has the right person for me at the appointed time because of what Jesus has done! I’m learning how to rest in what Jesus has done, knowing that He is so mindful of me, His beloved daughter! He has given me HOPE!
