Yesterday IHOP-AC took a field trip down to Charlotte, NC to Zadok House of Prayer. We had an amazing time just sitting before the Lord in prayer and worship. It was a long day, but well worth it. We stayed until about 10 and as we were getting ready to leave a couple of us went into the book store. I saw a book that I had been wanting for a while. It is Billy Humphrey’s book “The Culture of the Kingdom”, a book written on the Sermon on the Mount lifestyle. And so I was going to buy it, but a friend took the book and said he would buy it for me. And the same moment my phone rang and my dad told me that my parents wanted to buy me a laptop for my birthday! THIS IS AMAZING NEWS BECAUSE THESE ARE TWO THINGS I HAD BEEN ASKING FROM THE LORD! I had asked the Lord for the Billy Humphrey book as well as a laptop. In almost the exact moment both of those prayers were answered! This morning in the prayer room I was praising the Lord for what He had given me, but not just because I received those two things. But because in Matt. 7:7-12 Jesus is talking about how God wants to give His children good gifts if they ask! ANd here God is giving me gifts! HE IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS! He is a Father who gives the PERFECT gifts to His children! He is truth!
My next prayer was that I wouldn’t just remember how amazing He is during the joyful times, but that no matter the circumstance or situation, GOD IS STILL WHO HE SAYS HE IS! Wow…there is none like God.
Hey Amanda! I praise God with you for His faithfulness! Truly, there is NO ONE LIKE HIM 🙂 I remember you from Bazna, glad to see your blog and others from Ihop-AC!
Blessings in every way!
I am always in awe to hear and see young people worshiping and praising the Lord. You are so right He is who He Says He is! He is wonderful and marvelous! Thank you for keeping my heart filled with your testimony.
Thanks so much Jill. That is so encouraging! I am so glad that the Lord uses each of us to encourage the other!
