Coincidence? NOT!

Interesting how often we tend to recognize what we assume is a coincidence, and title it so.  In reality so many of those events are really God-ordained and not happenstances at all!

Due to selling a piece of equipment on line, we met on Sunday morning at a church with the pastor and congregation, who were interested in this equipment.  We sat through their service where a guest speaker/evangelist spoke - a beautiful sermon on the book of Revelation.  At the end of her presentation, she had a call for members who wanted/needed special prayer.  Many came forward.

When she had finished the prayers, she came to us and asked if she could pray for us.  We agreed.  With her hands on our shoulders, she prayed as if she knew us and knew the history of our work, of struggles and challenges we have had  with opposition and that she knew that God was not finished with us yet. "Bless this sweet couple," she prayed, "with strength to continue until their work is done."

We were flabbergasted!  Then the Pastor called us forward and asked us to explain just how we were going to bless his congregation.  As we told our story and our mission, tears flowed and many were anxious to begin the process of recovery from the results of wounds received at the hand of God's enemy.  "We'll be renting you two a room at the nearby hotel for 52 week-ends in a row," the Pastor said, "so that we can glean from you all we need to be the best ambassadors we can be for the cause of Christ."  Of course, we all chuckled.

Coincidence?  NOT! God will even use an advertisement to sell a piece of equipment in order to get His words of healing to his children - or He'll make the rocks cry out!!!
