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.

God Will Take Care of You

“When they speak to you, don’t say anything. I will do the speaking,” said the man who was transporting us. Everything had started on a Wednesday morning, May 15, 1985. We had been flying for three hours from El Salvador to Mexico City. We were in Mexico.

The day before we departed, I had fallen on my knees and I had told the Lord, “Lord, I don’t want to go, but if this is what you want, help me.” I had to say no more. The Lord took care of me, not only during the trip to Houston but for many years ahead.

My mother had borrowed money from a person she worked for. My mother was a woman of great faith. She had asked the Lord to save us and to let her get us out of the country. I was 18 years of age and that was the age in which I had to go to military service. The country was being thorn by a merciless civil war. My great future in El Salvador was to be in the army or be in the communist guerrilla killing other Salvadorans or be killed by one of those two sides. My mother did not want that for any of her children. So she prayed. The Lord responded. She got the money to get me out of El Salvador and I left.

Two months earlier, I had gone to the Mexican Embassy in San Salvador to get a visa to travel through Mexico. They were denying it to 80 to 90 percent of the people asking for it. I was one of the last ones to get in. I observed and observed everyone coming out of the interview. Most of them had expressions of disappointment on their faces. I prayed to the Lord to help me get my visa. I entered the office, trembling because it was a major task for me. They interviewed me for about five minutes and suddenly the officer said, “You’ve got the visa. Welcome to Mexico.” I could not believe it! I, an seventeen-year-old kid, had gotten a visa! Most of the rest of the people asking for it were older and definitively in a better financial situation than I was. But I had the visa and not them. I knew then that was a miracle of the Lord. The Lord was with me! I could do anything!

But the intervention of God did not stop there. On the morning of May 15^th I departed from El Salvador to Mexico City. Once there, we had to take another plane to Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. But there was a problem with the flight and we had to wait for about six hours to take the next plane. During those six hours, I walked around the airport. It looked like I was reading different billboards there were on the walls. But I was praying and reciting Psalm 91. When it was time to embark, I went to the employee who was checking the boarding passes. He looked at me and asked me, “How old are you?” “seventee…eighteen” I said nervously. The man looked at me suspiciously. Then another man came, moved his head in disapproval of what he was doing, took my documentation and told me, “Have a nice trip.” It could have not been other than God’s intervention.

I flew to Monterrey. From there we went in bus to Matamoros. Most people tell tales about Mexican migration officers checking buses to catch any person traveling illegally to the U.S. However, in our trip nothing like that happened. We arrived to Matamoros around 9:00 AM of May 16, 1985. We went to a hotel Presidente in Matamoros and waited there. In the afternoon, the person in charge of us, went to get us. He took us to a very humble house. We spent the night there. Around 3 or 4 A.M. of may 17, the same man with other two men went to get us. They took us in a car with no seats to the Rio Grande, at the border with Texas. We waited and waited. As we were waiting, a boat passed by and someone said “silence, migration police.” We were all quiet hiding behind trees and bushes. I felt my heart pumping and of course I continued praying. A man, who was watching, told us the boat had passed already. When they were sure there were no U.S. Border patrols, they told us to go to the river to cross it. The river looked muddy, not like the rivers there were in El Salvador. They put me on a tire tube and on top of me they also put a girl who probably was around 16 or 17 years of age. They took us trough the river and rapidly we got out of the tube. Immediately we changed clothes and started running through a field that was about two football fields long. Then we dropped in a ditch. We waited one more time. Then somebody said, “Run to the Taxis.” There were three taxicabs waiting for us. The taxi drivers took us to a La Quinta Inn and we stayed there for the night.

On the morning of May 18, the leader of the group went for us. He drove us to a wooded area near the “garita” (immigration check point).  The men went to check at the checkpoint because at certain time the guard would change and it would take them 30 minutes for the other guards to arrive. They made us wait in the wooded area until it was safe to go. We waited about six or eight hours. Then, they went to get us. – let’s go, let’s go! -  was the leader telling us. As fast as I could, I ran and jumped a fence and kept running to the car that was waiting for us at the edge of the highway. They put me in the back of the station wagon acting like if we were coming from camping. Some of the passengers sat on the front seats and some in the back seats. They drove for about ten minutes, passed the checkpoint and nobody stopped us. About an hour later they stopped. Other two cars stopped behind the station wagon I was in. They distributed the passengers and continued our way to Houston. I remember looking at the pavement of the highway and how bright the divisions between lanes looked. They drove and drove and drove. Around 9:00 PM we stopped in a city called Refugio. We stopped to eat pizza at a Pizza Hot. Outside the pizza place there was a coke machine. I remember some of the men in the group had never seen one. Neither had I. But I had no money to buy anything. One of the men took 50 cents out of his pocket and bought a soda. He was doing that for the first time. They were astonished because the machine could give them the soda when they deposited 50 cents on it.

After dinner we got in the vehicles again and continued our trip. The long drive continued. I remember noticing that it was around 8:30 when the sun started going down. In El Salvador the days are of 12 hours and so are the nights. So, always the sun goes down around 6:00 PM. Finally, on May 19, 1985 around 1:00 AM we arrived to Houston. It was a Sunday. We slept in the house where this man lived. The next morning (still Sunday), my cousin went to get me.

The Lord continued blessing me after my arrival. I rapidly learned English and the Lord’s guidance, made me think on educating myself. So I decided to go to school. He prospered me. I never went hungry because he was with me. Yes, I suffered poverty, but the Lord always supplied what I needed.

The point of this story is not to tell you how to get from El Salvador to Houston illegally. The point of this story is to show you the intervention of the great Lord in every step of my way, in every part of my life. It is also to show you that He can intervene in your life also and He can make it greater than you ever imagine. I traveled for about four days to get to Houston. I have heard horrible stories where the travelers traveled for weeks and months suffering hunger and thirst. Then, many times, the corresponding authorities capture them. Many times they even die trying to come to this country. I never suffered hunger, or thirst. During my travel, I did not even see immigration officers. That showed me one thing: God wanted me to be here. I knew that eventually everything would be all right. God protected me, He helped me, He kept me under his wings.  This showed me that if a person trusts God, there is no problem that person cannot resolve. If a person trusts God, there is nothing impossible for him or her since nothing is impossible for God. Now, while many politicians play with our destinies by using us to get votes from one group or another, the Lord continues protecting me from such people since now the Lord granted me the citizenship. I know that if an authority reads this they will say – we gave him the citizenship – It’s understandable they think this way because they cannot see more than their human eyes can see. They don’t see that they are instruments like all of us and that God uses us according to His will. God uses us because He is in control. That’s why He already won all the battles and all the victories are in Him.

God has protected me. He has called me His son. I am sure that all of us would love to have that protection. You can have it dear reader. May be your problems are not about the legality of being in a country. May be they are other types of problems. But the Lord who has protected me and solved all my problems, can protect you too. All you have to do is accept Jesus in your heart and you will be called not a servant of God but His friend. In addition, more than His friend, you will be called His son or daughter.  You will have His protection. He will be with you in every area of your life.

Just do it by saying: “Lord I repent of my sins. I invite you to come into my heart. I recognized I am a sinner and I want you to wash my sins with your blood. Now you are more than my God. You are my Heavenly Father. Thank you Lord for coming into my heart and calling me your child, your  prince(princess). Amen.”

Go to a bible based church. Do not be afraid or ashamed since the Lord is with you. All you have to do is believe. Know that He is with you at all times, even when you do not see His actions, He is still working on your behalf.
