Ricky,
Although you already know of this story, I felt compelled to share this event on the blog. Christmas Eve morning, Approximately 8 A.M. My friend Les Groom stops by the house to drop off a Christmas present of food and a few dollars to keep me going in spite of my plight of not being able to find work in recent months. And as we are talking about the situation I’m in. He states in such a prophetic way about his coming to Christ some 30 years ago, and about how even though now that I have been Baptized,I am not near out of the woods. Even though your soul is saved stated Les, The Devil is going to do everything in his power to make you, if you allow it, ineffective. Shuddered by this sobering statement, I thanked him for everything that he has bestowed upon me in recent months. As he left and I walked back into my house, I was rather stunned by his simple, but profound statement. It struck me with such a force that I called you earlier than usual to share this amazing moment. And as I am repeating the story just told. I receive another knock on the door. Having to drop my call to you, I open the door to see a man standing there apologetically asking if I was Jim Hayslett, and already knowing he was about to serve me papers on being delinquent on my house payments, I said yes. He apologized for having to this on Christmas Eve morning. And feeling so bad for him I said God Bless you brother for having to do this on these holidays. And as we started to speak I invited him into my house and we started to discuss the trials That I have had to endure over the past few years. After hearing some of my tribulations, he started to share some of his own problems that he had had in recent years. After about a 45 minute of conversation, we both wished each other a Merry Christmas and he left on his way back home. Within 10 minutes of him leaving, He returned, saying that there was an envelope that had fallen out of the paperwork he had given me. At the time I was back on the phone with you, relaying everything that had just transpired. And as I am talking to you, I open the envelope that I was just given, to find five twenty dollar bills. In tears, I’m stunned. Not believing the gift that was just given to me. He, the server not realizing that at that moment, I had no money to pay my electric bill. And also, no food in the house. Now I am bending at the knees, barely able to stand at the GLORY OF GOD’S MEASURE. Just when I thought that I was DONE, here comes the Calvary. The Kindness and Love was far beyond anything that I have ever experienced. It shakes me to the core of the possibilities of what can happen if you just believe and give yourself to GOD. This is just one of the many miracles that has happened to me since I gave myself to the one that has nothing but the best intentions for me. And as I write this still in dis belief of the preceding days, I’m just still blown away at the miracles that are placed in front of me. With that being said, don’t ever think for one moment that if you pray and ask, that those needs that you have won’t be answered. I for one, am living proof that prayer works. By the way, the person that helped me,his name is Steve Smith.
Keep on praying and asking for guidance, IT WORKS!!!!!!!
All my blessings,
Jim Hayslett
P.S. I did let Steve know that was the best Christmas gift that I ever had!
