A Prophet's Reward
Doyle Davidson started speaking to all of us at WOL about expecting God to reward us almost two months ago and I knew God was talking to me. I could tell the Lord was standing in my midst and he delighted in blessing me for my obedience, I knew it in the Spirit and I kept praying because I wanted to get what God had for me and as I was praying I heard “Ford Mustang”, but I was going to have to get a loan to buy it and God had told me in a path of righteousness that he walked me through a few years prior when I was in great financial distress that if I got a loan I would lose my ministry.
I had overcome in that situation and I believed the only reason I couldn’t get a loan back then was God wanted me to believe him to get me out of debt and not turn to the flesh, which I didn’t turn to the flesh and God got me out, but I had to make sure this was God talking to me and that I could get a loan now, which the more I prayed the more comfortable I was with getting a loan now.
Also as I was out on one of the properties I take care of, a divisional manager came up to me and said that the company was building two new stores and thinking about purchasing seven more stores already built, they are a franchise and that I would get to take care of the lawn maintenance on everyone of them. So if this all goes through I will get about a $40,000.00 a year raise.
So during one of the services Doyle said how he started to buy a piece of property and there was a churning in his heart and these words YOU WILL NOT and then he went to the property that God wanted him to have and there was peace. I can tell when the Spirit of God through Doyle is after me to repent or there is something God wants me to do, which happens quite frequently. Then Doyle said if you believe a prophet you will get a prophet’s reward, so I was settled to go buy the Mustang.
Now I should have just trusted God, went and pick one out off the lot but I was trying to get the best deal and I didn’t care for the Mustangs with the big V8 engine in them, but I liked the wheels and tires that came with them, so I was getting the Mustang with the V6 engine and I got them to purchase me a set of 19 inch black wheels and Pirelli tires from American Muscle which would cost $1,500.00 extra which looked just like the ones on the GT models, so anyway after I worked out the whole deal which was like pulling teeth from a lion, because of the hassel the dealership was giving me because they lost big time on this deal, because the saleman screwed up on the price he quoted me and I made him stick by what he promised.
So I thought everything was worked out, but the dealership could not order the wheel & tire set. First American muscle wasn’t on their vendor list, then they said they would buy it through the parts department, but that didn’t work, then they were going to purchase it with their company credit card, but they couldn’t seem to do that either and I could tell God was in control and The Almighty was standing right in the middle of this dealership and they couldn’t do anything!!!
Then Doyle put up a post on Facebook about covetousness and lust of the eyes and those scriptures hit my heart hard and I came to see God was talking to me and that he didn’t want me to get the wheel & tire set, and God made sure the dealership couldn’t even order it.
I already signed the loan and all the paperwork and drove the car home and was just waiting for the dealership to get the wheel & tire set. So I called the dealership and said hey just forget the wheel & tire set, just send me a check for the $1,500.00 or apply it to the loan. They couldn’t do it, they were frozen in place, once again I realized God was in control.
So I am praying what do you want me to do Lord and it kept coming up in my heart just give them the $1,500.00 and I didn’t want to, because I work hard for my money, but I said if this is you Lord, then have Doyle post something on Facebook so I will know and immediately the Lord spoke to me and said “Paul suffered the loss of all things” and as I continued to pray I knew this was God talking to me and I also knew that God was doing this to deliver me from covetousness and as I am delivered from covetousness I will have plenty of money, because covetousness keeps us from inheriting the Kingdom of God in our heart and as the kingdom of God is established in our hearts then the power of God working through us will cause us to have plenty of money along with righteousness, peace and joy. I was in faith and I was one happy person!!!
I sent the dealership an email and told them to keep the money for the wheel & tire set, I am also letting them keep the $499.00 that I was paying them to take the dark tint off and put on clear tint.
So the Lord blessed me with a new sports car and one that is my style that I like. I didn’t get everything I wanted, but The Lord dealt with some more lust of the eyes and covetousness in my heart as he led me through this situation. The Lord caused the dealership to screw up and give me a deal that they would have lost about $1,600.00 on and then had me give back to them over $2,000.00 to deal with my heart. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord!!!
I am very thankful that God has his prophet praying for me and watching over me and that God is ruling over me and won’t let me go my own way!!!
Also don’t forget God used his prophet Doyle Davidson to convince me to buy that car then God through him corrected some covetousness and lust of the eyes in me, that I didn’t even know I was yielding to and is causing more of the kingdom of God to be established in my heart and is blessing my business, so believe God and you will be established and believe his prophets so shall you prosper!!!
