A Little Encouragement
Monday, March 22, 2010
A little encouragement from a fellow believer goes a long ways. The testimony's and stories that we receive in Young Foundations and post on this website, impact the lives of other believers every day. This sister's testimony proves just that, and shows how God is an ever present help in time of need.
Greetings to my precious brothers and sisters.
I thank God for this testimony. As I sat here looking at all the stories and testimonies on VGR, I began to think about my daughter and how she has strayed away from God and has become very worldly. I went to the Young Foundations website hoping to find something encouraging for her to read. As I looked at the pictures of all the young sisters, I thought in my heart.... I wish my daughter was like that. How in my heart I long for her to be saved and filled with the Holy Ghost and have deep convictions of how she is living her life. I look at myself and see my failures as her mother and as an example before her, but I have asked God to help me with my faults as well.
I prayed to myself as I was looking at the YF website and ask God to lead me to a testimony to let me know that He has heard my prayer, so this is what I did.
I got on the blog page, closed my eyes and randomly clicked on a month. And then with my eyes still closed, I placed my curser over to the left and clicked on a testimony, not knowing this is what God chose for me to read. Oh, how this hit home. It was God no doubt that led me to this. My eyes filled with tears knowing that God is so aware of my concerns and that He would send me to this testimony to encourage me. I know God is going to bring her back in and I believe she will walk closer to God than ever before.
When I first came into the Message, my daughter was only two years old and God gave me a dream and she was in it. Jessica and I were somewhere in a town setting, standing on it seems a porch when water started flooding the town, for I knew destruction was coming and we were in danger. I said to myself "we have got to get out of here," so we started following people out of the town and we came upon a hill. It was a line of people taking a path going over a hill, and a line going to a path on the right. I felt led to take the path to the right and I can remember when I looked up as we were walking, I saw Jesus. He disappeared and then I saw Brother Branham standing there. That happened about three or four times. I knew when I awoke that God was showing me we were headed down the right path.
God is aware of our every need and our every concern. He vindicated to me the Message of the hour then for our lives, and He has done it again this evening.
God Bless You All!
