Sometimes it only takes a day . . .

Praise report! The day after the 2007 fast began, I got an unexpected bonus of $4000! I can’t pay my bills every month, but I am tithing anyways; now on my gross income and on every increase.

Last week, I tithed on my birthday money, decided to fast all 21 days and put my upcoming 2008 bonus towards my $2500 credit card debt. I expected a bonus between $1000 and $2000 because the company is in financial trouble. Today, on the 1st day of fast, I got a $4828 bonus!!! Enough to tithe 10% and pay of all my credit card debt!!

Praise God.

New job/finances are on my list for the fast.

Testimony via Website

I decided to commit to 21 days of fasting (fruits and veggies) to get closer to God, learn true self discipline and obedience (never a great trait of mine) and to experience the true meaning of prayer.

My husband and I have been beat up financially in the past two years because of a layoff that cut our income in half and myself having to stop working to deal with some medical issues. Before this occurred, after years of struggling financially, we had finally made the income to support the lifestyle we were living and bought our first home which to us was our dream home.

For at least six months, I have spent hours and hours on the phone doing anything I could to keep our house from going into foreclosure. Every time everything seemed like it was completed and we were out of the red, we hit another obstacle.

We were down to the wire and our home was in foreclosure with one possible hope left to save our home.

Yesterday, I spent three hours on the phone with the mortgage company only to find out the only way to save the house was to pay them $1200 by Friday. At this point, there was no way we could come up with money.

I hung up the phone and tried not to break down, but with tears falling off my face, I lay on my bed and wept and prayed for God to take this burden from me and keep me strong and in his Word.

I had no more energy left to fight anymore.

I was planning on coming to service and at first thought there was no way I could go with my red, puffy eyes and feeling like a time bomb waiting to explode into a break down.

As soon as that thought came to mind I released it and told myself that there was no way the devil was going to keep me from service tonight. I fixed up my face, picked my son up from the skate park and experienced preaching like no other (maybe even better than my buddy Joyce Meyer) and felt the presence of the Holy Spirit within me.

When I returned home there was a message from the mortgage company to call them; they had good news. Today, we found out we do not owe any extra funds and our home is coming out of foreclosure!

Praise God!!!!

This is from only one day of fasting and prayer. I believe God will move mountains in the days to come!!!!
