Another Miracle Received from Our Lord, Our God

Well, hello there. For those who believe in the miraculous power of God, here is another miracle He has done for me and my family.

It was the first week of July of 2013. Like always, my budget is well calculated and I usually have enough money to pay all my bills, food and gasoline etc.  However, during those two weeks I had calculated and recalculated my budget. I had seen it from many points of view. Nevertheless, everything I did was useless. I simply did not have enough money for food for me and my family. We usually spend between 450 and 500 dollars every two weeks in food and groceries. Those two weeks I only had 150 dollars. Reluctantly, I told my wife – Honey we do not have enough money for food these two weeks. – With the wisdom that is always one of her characteristics, she told me – don’t worry honey. The Lord will provide us enough for these weeks. – That made me feel comforted; however, I still had the lack of money in the back of my mind. I prayed about it, knowing the Good Lord would help us. My wife prayed even more than I did. She cried to our God for a miracle. Many days before those two weeks started, she was praying. The period started. Praying to the Lord we went to the market. As we arrived we were astonished at the miracles the Lord was doing for us. We found more products at very low prices than ever before. They were way lower than the usual. We spent only a fraction of the money we usually spend. Then, we went to a grocery store to buy meats and poultry. The story repeated itself. Everything was cheaper than ever. They were running specials like 99 cents per pound of meat in many of their meats and poultry. Again, the amount we spent at that store was a fraction of the usual.  We ended up with so much food, it was incredible! We immediately thanked God for what He had done for us. We even had a visit that period. We not only had enough food to feed the visit and us, we even had reserves for a third week! The Lord had done an awesome miracle! One more time He had demonstrated His mighty power!  

ALL THE GLORY AND HONOR BE TO OUR LORD JEHOVAH, OUR GOD!

Your Faith Can and Will Always Work

Back in February, 2012, I looked inside my refrigerator. I observed I only had two eggs a little rice and some beans. I had just enough food for the day. I also had only 2 dollars in my bank account because I had had a little emergency and I had spent it almost all. For a moment I worried about my food supply because my next paycheck was 5 days away. I thought - Oh my God I have no food for tomorrow. When I finished the thought and heard in my mind the word tomorrow, I remembered the word of Jesus Christ who said – do not worry saying, what are we going to eat, or drink or wear? [Tomorrow] -  So, instead of worrying, I started giving thanks for everything I had. I gave thanks for the abundance (abundance that I did not have at the moment but I knew the Lord would supply). I started thanking God for my house, for my car, for my clothes. I thanked God for the favor he had given to me throughout the years, because He had never let me go hungry.

At night, I had to volunteer for a health fair that was taking place in my school. I went to the health fair. All that I knew was that it was a health fair and that I would be giving information to the parents of our students.  So I went.

At the health fair, the school had also brought the Food Bank of Houston. The food they had brought was destined to the parents only and not the teachers. But what was my surprise that by the end of the health fair they starting announcing to the teachers that the Food Bank had brought too much food and they did not want to take it back so they were also giving it to the teachers.

That night I went from not having enough food, to having food for almost a month. I had so much food, I had to give some away so it would not spoil.

Your faith can and will always work. Don’t take it for granted.

The Lord Can Also Do Miracles For You

You have seen I have posted some of the miracles the Good Lord has done for me. Is it because I am special? NO! Anybody can receive miracles from the Lord. All you have to do is ask Him and believe He will give you what you are asking for and He will.

See, many times we ask thinking the Lord does not want to give us something and we say things like "If it's your will Lord give me this." Imagine, the Lord has loved us since before the beginnings of our universe. He has given us this earth, the air, the water, food and many other things that we take for granted but they are actually miracles. He even gave us His only son to die for us. The most precious of His belongings, His son. Do you really think that he will now act like "Oh I'm sorry but I don't feel like giving you what you are asking for?" After all that He has done for us? I don't think so. God will give you what you are asking for. Of course, if your children ask you for something you know will hurt them, would you give it to them? Lets remember, He knows better.

Some recommendations:
1. Ask with faith, knowing the Lord wants and will give you what you ask for.Ask in the name of Jesus.
2. Be careful what you ask for.
3. Sometimes He may deny what you are asking for because it's not convenient, or because He has something better in mind.
4. Sometimes, things do not come until you are ready. So, be patient.

The Lord Always Talks To Me

Yes, some of you may think some people are crazy when they do these declarations. However,  it is something that is as true as the fact that you are reading this and maybe thinking – this dude is crazy-. Yes! The Lord speaks to me. Not like you think. I do not hear a voice in the air like in the Hollywood movies. No, he speaks to me in dreams. He always does. But he speaks to me when something important is about to happen and as of now the dreams I have received concern me and my family. I have never had a prophecy or anything to do with the rest of humanity, just me and my family.

When I was little, I remember he spoke to me the first time.  But I did not understand it was Him until I was an adult. I dream I was, of course a kid about four years old. My dad had my by the hand. Like any kid, I was not paying attention to my surroundings. I was just playing kicking the floor as my father grabbed me so I would not fall. Then, suddenly, my dad told me: Look son, this is the United States and you are from here. I, of course, did not understand. I did not even knew what was or where the United States. At that time kids in el Salvador did not go to kinder garden, so I did not even know how to read  or write the most basic in Spanish, English or any language. However, I clearly remember my dad telling this is the United States and you are from here. When he said that, I looked up to see my dad’s face, but I did not see his face.

So, now that I have lived in the United States for more than 25 years and that more than ever feel I belong to this country, is when I understand the one who was speaking to me in the dream was no other than God, my Father.

God Keeps Me Working

 Back in 1986, Ronald Reagan signed the law to give amnesty to millions of undocumented people existed in the United States. During those years, lots of wars were going on in Central America, Eastern Europe and many other places in the world. Americans back then felt the responsibility to fight communism and, in a way, they felt like the saviors of the world. Therefore, they approved the amnesty for millions. Unfortunately, I did not qualify for the amnesty because it was for people who had come to the U. S. up to 1981. But the law had a measure that was bothering all of the ones who did not have documentation in the U. S. It penalized employers who did not check employee’s status.

However, I kept working and it did not matter that for me it was a “crime” to work. I wonder, if feeding the hungry and healing the sick will be a crime also. Anyway, I remember one time God almighty put me in the way of a good Jew who was the owner of a store in Houston. He gave me a job. Of course he did not know I was illegal. However, one year later the government started harassing employers, so my employer started asking for documentation. That day I prayed and left my problem to the Lord. Then I went to see my boss to tell him the truth. I told him that I was undocumented and that I did not want to cause trouble to him or his company, so I will quit I said. He said, “You do not need to quit and because you are honest. Because of your honesty I will give you a raise.” I left that office jumping, giving thanks to the Lord who had protected me and had given me a job and an increase.

With this event God demonstrated me He not only could keep me working, He could give me increases. That day, in that store, God almighty showed Himself, saving me from becoming jobless. He kept me working and gave me increase.

Throughout the years, my Lord has always taken care of me. He can and wants to take care of you too. If He gave an undocumented immigrant a job, an education, economic increases, health, etc., he can also do it for you. Just accept Him. He wants to be your protector, your healer, your increaser, your shield. You will be better off. I’m not talking about religion. Having a job, education, etc. are tangible things unlike a religion. Tangible things do not come from religions. Tangible things come from the one who created it all. Give your heart to Him today.

With God’s Credit You Can Get Everything

Back in 1995, I tried to be a car sales man. I did ok, but my desire was to continue my education. I had just studied high school.  With time, the Lord gave the opportunity to go to school and finish my college education. I became a teacher. But that experience as a car sales man taught me many things. But the most important thing was that I had to keep my credit score in excellent condition to be able to get things like a car and a house. So, I did it. I always paid everything on time and ahead if possible. I knew that anybody who wanted to get a credit to get a car and had his/her credit in bad condition, better hit the road and not even ask about the credit. He/she was finished. No good credit score, no credit.

Time passed. I was doing great. I got one house. Ten years later, I sold it. I bought another house, and new cars. I had no problem getting things at a low rate because I had an excellent credit.

One day, my wife’s son, Luis, came to live with us. He came from El Salvador. My wife was excited and I with her. She started paying his college education because the kid had potential. Well, that potential he started using it for the wrong purposes. First, he applied for a credit card. He never paid it. So we started receiving calls from collectors. I asked my wife “did you get a new credit card?” “No” she replied surprised. When Luis got home we asked him and his first reaction was deny it.  So I started investigating and found that he had done it. So we told him and asked him why had he done it? Luis never had a valid answer. We explained to him that that was a crime here in the U.S. and he better not do that.  So I negotiated with the credit cards and got him out of his trouble. I lent him 2,000 dollars that up to today I never saw again. We thought it was a teenager’s mistake. We were wrong!

Then he got worse. He started stealing from people giving them false checks.  He was telling all of his friends that his mom was rich and that she would pay. So people started falling in his trickery. Until one day someone got tired of it and sent him to jail. My wife was devastated. But we went and bailed him out. We talked to him and told him not to be doing those kinds of things. So he continued in college. He did it again. Again he went to jail. I told my wife “We’re not going to bail him out this time.” He called his uncles and his uncles bailed him out. But my wife and I stopped paying his tuition so he got out of college. He started working. My wife, one more time asked me, “Can he live with us?” He had been living in college. “He does not have any place to go,” She told me. I had my doubts, but based on my Christian principles and trusting God, I agreed with my wife and let him in our house.

At work he started doing the same thing with his co-workers and with other people. One of those people sent him to jail one more time. This time nobody got him out. He spent three months in jail and a judge gave him three years of probation. He got out of jail and basically he was homeless. He seemed shaken up. It seemed he had learned his lesson. My wife, based on her motherly love, asked me one more time to let him in the house. I, based on my Christian principles, did it again. But for some reason I still don’t understand, that man could not stop being a crook.

About a year and a half had passed since the judge had given him his probation. He was also going to church. All of us thought Luis had reformed. My wife was happy. Then something terrible happened to my wife. She had a stroke, and had a brain surgery. She was ok after that. However, while she was in her most vulnerable stage when you could not get her too excited or depressed because she could have died, he did it again. This time it was against me. Luis stole my identification, social security number and other personal information and applied for three credit cards. He then went to spend almost twenty thousand dollars. I did not find out until about three months later. I could not believe he had done that. I was outraged. I started asking God, “Why me?” But I could not say anything to my wife or send him to jail because my wife could not receive such devastating news. She could have died. I talked to him and asked him “Why did you do it?” He answered me with all his arrogance, “Because I knew you could do nothing, because my mom is ill.” Then I got even angrier. I was about to call the police when he decided to tell my wife. My wife begged me not to send him to jail. I agreed only because she was still recuperating from her brain surgery. I could not do anything. I asked God, “why do you let this happen to me and tie my hands so I can’t do anything?” Somehow, I new that God was testing my faith.

Time passed, I eventually trusted God and I said to Luis, “I give you one year to pay this money.” Of course, he never paid. After a little more than a year since my wife had had her surgery, I told her. “You see my credit now is in bad condition. If I need anything, I can’t get it because it looks that I owe 20,000 dollars and I’m not paying.” So my wife tried to fix the problem with him. She went to church and asked for help. At church, there was a lawyer, who tried to help. When he sent the information to the authorities, they saw Luis had broken his probation. They caught him and sent him to prison.

 I took a car I had leased for him and continued paying it until the lease was over. But I still had the problem of the credit cards. I wrote letters of dispute to the credit cards. Two of the banks removed the information from my credit report. But one of them, the biggest one, did not. So, I still have that debt in my report. That is not the miracle, however.

When the lease was over, I needed to get another car. I had sold my old truck because we needed to pay some debt we had acquired due to my wife’s stroke. I thought, “There is no way anybody would give me a credit for a car with my credit score like mine.”  Then, something told me, "Trust God" and I remembered words from my pastor Joel Osteen, in which he said, “No weapon formed against me will prevail.” “God will take anything that was meant to harm you and use it in your favor.” That’s what my faith said. However, in reality I did not see how that could happen. Then a thought came to my mind: God has done this because he wants to make sure I know that it is Him and because of Him that I will get the things and not because of my credit. So, I started trusting God about it.

Then something unexplainable happened. Toyota, which is the brand I like, starting having some problems. The media started reporting about their accelerators, and their mats, and other problems. That changed their reputation. I had always had had Toyotas and had never had problems with them. They were trying to fix their problems and even had a Congressional hearing about it. For Toyota Corporation these were devastating news. Their sales dropped tremendously to the point that they had to start begging customers to come buy their product.

When I took the leased car back, I went to the dealer and talked to a salesman. I explained to him my situation. He went to talk to the director of sales about it. I walked around while I waited in the dealership. Then, suddenly I heard, “I know you, I remember you!”  It was the director of sales. He had been a co-worker back in 1995 when I worked as a salesman. Then, he said, “Give this man whatever he wants. Do not worry about his credit. We will make an exception.” I could not believe it! That day, I left that dealership with a brand new car. They had given me their top offer, which was 60 months at zero percent interest. On top of that I was given two years of free maintenance for being a loyal customer. With the best of my credit scores, the lowest interest rate I had been able to get was 4.5 percent. But this time it was not my credit. It was God’s credit. With His help, this time I was able to get much more than I had ever been able to get with my own means. My credit said, “Don’t even trust this man.” God was telling me “They will trust you because I am with you.”

God had shaken a global company to its knees for my benefit! He had promoted a man who had been a co-worker back in 1995. He had made the man recognized me. God let someone ruin my credit, which I had built with a lot of effort. All to demonstrate me that his deals are way better than any other deal I could have ever made. He also did it to show me that He remembers me and how important I am for Him. He did it all to demonstrate me that if we trust Him and try our best to follow His command, He takes care of us. I never turned in Luis to go to prison, based on the command that Christ has given us that we should forgive as many times as we are offended. I followed this command and God helped me in the moment I needed him the most. Nobody would have given me anything based on my credit score. The logic said NO. God said YES! Praise the Lord!

You can also have these privileges with God. He wants to helps us. Just receive Him in your heart.
