A couple of months ago Pastor Marilyn encouraged us to step out in faith and believe that God will provide for us. We were getting ready to move here and close on our house and knew then that we were going to have to buy a car. Dianne and I know that it is not God’s will for us to be in debt so we sowed a seed then believing that He was going to provide a way for us to get out of debt soon both for the car and the house.
We have been searching with much prayer for the car that God had for us for the past several weeks. We literally made the decision on Wednesday night right before church on the vehicle that we were to buy. Our thinking before church was that we would have to finance about half the value of the car. During the message Wednesday and God speaking through you we saw that we were acting out of fear and not faith. I say this because God had provided the money for us to buy the car outright without going into debt. He actually had provided much more than what we needed, but we were concerned that we should hold onto the money just in case something bad happened. This went against the seed we had sown in faith as well as everything that we have learned about walking in faith. Dianne and I both knew after Wednesday that God had answered our prayers and honored the seed that we had sown. So today we bought the car (a used Honda Pilot) for cash with no fear.
I want to thank you, Pastor Sarah, and Pastor Marilyn for allowing God to move so mightly through you.
God Bless,
James Lowry
