PRAISE GOD FROM WHO ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!!! Recently, a couple had one of their two vehicles, affectionately known as Gertrude, completely stop functioning without any advance notice. The couple was now in dire need of another vehicle and began to start praying, asking God for another vehicle. At the time the couple was somewhat financially challenged, but did not hesitate to allow that from making their request made known unto the Lord. Totally depending upon and trusting in the word of God, the couple exhibited unwavering faith as described in John 14:13-14, which tells us that if we ask anything in the name of the Lord, He will do it. The wife began to describe to her husband the exact type of vehicle she wanted. By now God had placed people in their lives that would be instrumental in working things out on their behalf. After making a phone call they were able to see that God had already began to move on their request. When they went to the dealership the vehicle they were to get was gone.The salesperson brought out another vehicle for them to look at but it wasn't what God had place on the wife's heart. A second vehicle was brought out and it was exactly what the wife had envisioned in her heart. Not only was the vehicle beautiful, it came with a deal that couldn't be refused and placed the vehicle in the couples hands in a manner that did not remotely challenge them financially. God will do that which is above and beyond all that you can ask or even imagine!! TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT HE HAS DONE !!!
