Car Blessing

I have waited until I heard the Holy Spirit tell me to buy a car. I previously shared with you on my blog A Piece of my Testimony about my life without a car, and I was doing just fine. However, since then I have gotten involved with several things for the Kingdom and getting around was starting to be complicated AND frustrating. Before my birthday (the end of October) I knew it was getting close to time to get a car.

 

A church member asked me what kind of car I wanted. I told her it wasn't anything specific; whatever God blesses me with, I'll be satisfied. But she said I needed to be specific. Through out the day and that night I pondered. Before I went to sleep, I googled car. And the car to the right in the picture above showed up. A Honda Civic. So I said, "Okay, I want a Honda Civic." I shared this picture with few other friends who were also without vehicles saying "that this is the car I want and believing God will do so." Now in the back of my mind, I still was thinking I will be grateful for any car.

 

Thanksgiving break came and I road home with my friend. I also was thinking, "I'll be driving myself back." Honestly, I didn't have high faith but I had faith. The day before Thanksgiving my mother and I went to Nissan car dealership. I went here first because through my job I get a discount.

 

To make a long story short, I came in with a mindset to buy a used car. My credit is not the best and even though I had a small savings my mother told me, with high faith, "you're not putting any down payment down." The last time I checked my credit was in the low 500s but when Nissan ran my credit it was 604. At first I was thinking how did it jump that high so fast but then I remembered who my FATHER is! Through Him ANYTHING is possible! (Matthew 19:26) The discount only applied to a new car. A bank was willing to finance me and I signed the papers and God gave me a brand new car!

 

I told God I will use this car to serve Him. Fast forward. The first week back in Knoxville with the car and went to bible study. I took a church member home. Now this was one of the ones who was included in the text when I googled car and shared with them my belief. She told me, "You got the car you wanted." I said, "No. That car was a Honda Civic. This is a Nissan Versa." My church member said, "Well, it looks JUST like the car in the pic." And I immediately said "WOOOOOOOOOOOOW! IT DOES!!!" I said to God Honda Civic but I will be grateful for anything.

 

NOW YOU CAN'T TELL ME GOD ISN'T REAL!

 

When you are faithful or even strive to be faithful, He takes care of His own. And when you have faith of mustard seed, it moves mountains! (Luke 17:6) You have to believe it. You have to have the vision in mind. I believe and imagine myself often driving and doing the work of God in it. I asked and He gave. (Matthew 7:7) Don't speak negatively on your life because you don't know WHAT God can do. And don't rely on what man says because God has the final say so! (Proverbs 18:21 and Psalm 118:8).

 

My brothers and sisters, I hope this will bring encouragement and strengthen your faith. When you can, read my previous blog A Piece of my Testimony to connect it with this blog.

 

Peace and blessings to you from Yahweh, our Sovereign God!
