(John 3:16) [Jesus speaking] "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
In this series, we're delving deeper into the teachings that Jesus left us to follow. The fourth commandment leads us to our next focus: FAITH IN HIM ... We're all looking forward to receiving your testimonies - in the meantime, Sally Ann has sent quite a few awesome testimonies of GOD's supernatural Grace. Be encouraged:
You might remember from my recent testimony on this blog how the Lord saved me from a path that had almost led to my death due to drugs and alcohol. What I haven’t shared yet is that during that time, I had a young daughter who, when I got saved and met Jesus, was just six years old. She was terrific and already showing signs of remarkable intelligence. One day, I felt a strong prompting from the Lord to take her out of the traditional school system and start homeschooling her.
Due to my past misdemeanours and to maintain a positive relationship with the authorities and social services, I needed to submit copies of my work each term. Additionally, I had to provide a detailed report outlining the lessons we worked on, the topics we covered, and the hours we spent together. This process continued throughout her junior years. During her final year, I told the Authorities that I was a Christian and that I believed this would be her final year of home schooling, as next year the Lord wanted her to attend one of the UK’s top private girls' schools, Burgess Hill School for Girls.
I had absolutely NO money to pay for her schooling, but I wrote this in Faith, long before she even took the exam, because it was what I believed I’d heard from the Lord. After living so long in darkness and fear, I now know His Voice, and I just knew she was going there!
Anyway, we applied, and soon after, the School sent back a letter saying she had passed the test and been approved for a 10% scholarship. The letter went on to say that, to avoid another girl taking up the place, could I sign and accept the offer immediately…! NB - the letter came with the caveat that if I didn’t pay 90% of the first term’s fees, they would sue me for the remaining balance! I said to the Lord, “It’s great that she’s passed the entrance exam, Lord, but I haven’t got a penny! Can I sincerely sign this letter? Lord, where are we to get the final 90%?” Anyway, the Church, my friends and I were praying, and the very next week I received another letter from the School… I placed it on the kitchen table and just stared at it for hours - unopened!
Eventually, the Lord convinced me to open the letter, and I was overjoyed by what I read: the school now offered us a 90% bursary in addition to the 10% scholarship. This meant I could finally sign the letter and secure her place in peace.
Deep down, I always knew she would go to this School, even when we couldn't see how the financial side would work out. Everyone around me stood in faith alongside me, and the power of our collective prayers was incredible.
While I sometimes grapple with understanding *how* things will unfold, I've learned that when He speaks, it always comes to pass. Much love to you, Sally Ann xxx
