This'll be a cool thread to share your testimonys about God and things He has done for you. I'll start.
I remember back when I lived in Colorado Springs and had very recently moved back there after having the terrible auto accident where I messed up my back, I was alone in my basement doing my morning thing. Praying, watching inpirational videos with messages on youtube and drinking coffee. I was feeling sort of discouraged in spirit because, I wasn't in a position to be able to help the Lord in any way. SO soon after that accident, I couldn't be going door to door even. I was in fairly bad shape. SO I prayed to the Lord and said isn't there someway I can help you from my easy chair, Lord? (no kidding!)...in Jesus name, Amen. I went upstairs to make a pot of coffee. Whoa. Only enough for a half a pot and then it's all gone. And I was broke at that time, no money for more coffee. I made the last half a pot of coffee and went downstairs lamenting that I'm out of coffee, lol! (I like my coffee!) . Now, I did consider praying about it, asking for some work or something, I need some things, coffee! But then the Holy Spirit must have brought that scripture to my mind about how, the Lord knows what we need before we ask, and that...we are much better than sparrows, so...He will, don't worry about it. SO I didn't pray and ask for money or coffee.
I went back down stairs with more coffee and sat down. Instantly the phone rings. I answer. It's an old frien that I haven't seen in a couple or three years? He says, hey Ed how ya been? Been awhile, mind if I stop by and visit? Maybe ask you a couple questions about God? I said sure come on over. I knew that the Lord had just answered my prayer. Something I could do from my easy chair, witness some to one of His children! Is that cool or what? Within 10 minutes of praying, he called and, was on his way. But wait, it gets better!
ABout a half hour later he rolls up and knocks on the door. I had came upstairs and just poured the very last cup...of coffee. Now he's here and I wont even be able to make a guest in my home a simple cup of coffee, oh well. I answer the door and he steps in and says hi and hands me a bag of some Hawaiian coffee beans and says hey I brought this for you, better coffee than I usually buy, lol. And it's exactly the time that I needed to, put on a fresh pot because I just poured the last cup. And boom, there it is, and I didn't even ask for it, I just knew that somehow the Lord said He will take care of us, and He sure did! I had not told my friend on the phone that I was low or out of coffee, he just brought it. I thought that was so cool! He answered my prayer of how can I help, within 30 minutes, and threw in the coffee too knowing I did not pray for that, to confirm that, yeah, this is His fingerprints all over this! Lol! What a hilarious and wonderful Father we have!
No big event. No Angels, miracles or even an overwhelming presence of God. Things just quietly happened. God doesn't have to come with thunder and lightning every time and He still does a lot! He actually delivered coffee to my door (last minute never late) because I simply trustedHim on it and did not pray for it. That was a new one on me!
