Christian needed a new car.
The car he was driving was on its last leg. He wasn't sure when it would die, but he was sure that it would die. He needed a new car and he needed it fast.
But how was he going to get the money? Right now, his money was too tight. At the end of the month, he didn't have an extra dime left after paying his bills. How would he be able to pay a car payment each month? One good thing about the car that he did drive was that he owned it and therefore didn't have to worry about any monthly payments.
Every time he got behind the wheel of the car he stressed about it. He prayed that he would get where he had to go and back safely without incident. But even though he prayed, he spent the entire time while he was in the car, stressing that it might, at any minute, break down. He couldn't remember if his AAA had expired or not.
Then, one day, Christian realized that it made absolutely no sense for him to stress over whether or not he could afford a new car. So, he made the decision to let the stress go. He decided that he was going to simply pray on it, and trust that God would do the rest.
He prayed and said, Lord, I thank you for my new car. I thank you for the money that I need to pay for the car. I thank you for allowing me to easily and effortlessly pay for the car each month and for having the car that I desire.
And then, he let it go!!!
When I say, he let it go, I mean, he let it go. He didn't think about it again. He simply KNEW that he was going to have a new car, and that he would have the money to easily pay for it. He made the decision to not worry about it. Just trust that God had it all covered.
The next time he got in the car, he didn't worry about it breaking down. He trusted that God would allow him to get where he had to go and back again.
He started going out to Used Car Lots and looking for his next car. He didn't find the car that he wanted, but he now knew what make and model he was going to have—a Honda Civic. He liked the car and figured he would like one in green. Yeah, that's the ticket. A green, Honda Civic.
Well, I simply have to tell you what happened to Christian. You probably won't believe me. Or, if you do, you will think it was a huge coincidence. But trust me when I tell you, it is not a coincidence and it did happen. In fact, it could happen for you in a similar way if first you made the decision to trust that God will bring to you all the things you desire.
Check this out—without even trying, Christian received a promotion on his job, three days after deciding he wanted a green Honda Civic. He received the promotion because someone left the company, unexpectedly, and he was the only person who knew the job and could readily step into the new position with minimal training.
Four days after his promotion, he received his income tax return for $2,100.00. This was amazing because he thought he wasn't going to receive it. He had not received an income tax refund for the past three years because it was always offset due to the fact that he owed money on his student loan. But now, here he was receiving his tax return, after 3 years of not receiving it.
How happy Christian is and how thankful and blessed he feels. He immediately took that check and found a green Honda Civic, used it as a down payment, and can now easily and effortlessly pay for his new car with the additional money he is receiving due to his promotion.
I know you are thinking, YEAH, RIGHT. How "coincidental."
But it's not a coincidence. If you have been a subscriber to this newsletter for any length of time, you have heard me say many times that there are no such things as coincidence.
Christian received exactly what he asked God for. Christian received exactly what he BELIEVED would come to him.
Once you decide on something that you want, and ask and thank God for supplying your need, all that is required of you is to BELIEVE that you will receive it.
OK, your turn. Think of something you desire right now. Ask God for it and believe that you have already received it. Trust that it is on its way to you, right now. I don't care if you don't have "evidence" of it right in front of you, just trust that God will supply your need. Then, let it go.
If you truly believe that your desire will be given to you, it will.
