subject: God-concentrated Prayer Saves A House [print this page] A single Wednesday evening soon after a class on the spiritual method to prosperity, a twenty-something young lady pulled me to the side and with tear-crammed eyes stated, "Rev. White I'm about to drop my residence. My husband and I have not been ready to make the house loan payments and if we don't come up with the funds following week we will eliminate our house." Then she asked the pivotal issue, "Do you have any affirmations for me that may possibly support?" I looked at her and stated, " I am not a spiritual pharmacist. I do not dispense affirmations, but if you hang close to for a few minutes I do have a suggestion that I know will support."
Gospel for Asia tells us that this as soon as tearful youthful lady sat in my workplace with hope in her eyes and an eager smile on her face. I said to her, "What I am suggesting to you will seem absolutely unrelated to your issue. It will seem impractical, but it functions if you function it."
She took a deep breath and waited for me to end. "Each day I want you to pray, but not to help save your house and not to get some income. I want you to pray for a genuine and discernible encounter of God's presence. I would like to you to pray for a deeper knowing of God."
She mentioned, "But how?" I informed her to commence her every single prayer with words comparable to this: "God, I think that I want to help save my house, but what I genuinely want is to experience your presence." Then sit still in silence expecting to expertise God's presence-expecting to learn one thing of God.
I assured her that her thoughts will scurry all more than the location, but just remind herself of her goal. I explained to her that at first a small voice will say, "You are not telling the truth, you genuinely want to save your house." Then I urged her to preserve praying this prayer right up until she genuinely meant it- until she truly felt like God was all that she needed (at the very least for the moment).
Subsequent week the female strode into church with a smile on her face, her blonde ponytail swinging behind her. Soon after the course she advised her tale. "Rev. White I did specifically what you explained. It wasn't straightforward at initial, but I stored on. We didn't tell anybody what was going on. We have been also embarrassed. No a single realized. Two days later a relative visited us who was not in a position to make it to the wedding. He had an envelope in his hand. The check out was just adequate to pay out what we owed. Rev. White, you don't realize. He didn't know that we necessary the income."
