When we fast according to His plan, God says, “Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’” (Isaiah 58:9, NKJV).
A woman who volunteers for Free Chapel gave the most amazing testimony to this fact. Her parents had been in severe financial trouble for over a year. They had been given notice of foreclosure proceedings if they didn’t pay $5,500. She called her brothers and asked them if they wanted to join her in doing something that would help her parents in this desperate situation. God backed her up!
Her brothers—who weren’t saved, by the way—agreed, and they began to fast. Within fifteen days of the house being foreclosed, her parents received a phone call. Her father had applied for disability in 2000, but it took six years for them to get around to having the hearing on his case. They called to inform the family that his disability application had been approved. A check was in the mail that very day in the amount of—are you ready for this? —$86,000, which included the amount from 2000. In addition, he would be getting disability payments monthly.
There is no way her brothers can deny that God is the One who brought about this miracle.
Be encouraged today. In situations you face that are overwhelming, uncertain, and confusing, God will cause light to shine on the path you are to take. When you fast and pray in faith, God will reward you and guide you. “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it.’” (Isaiah 30:21, NKJV).
