Pastor John,
I was in the shower praying this morning, when the Spirit spoke to me and said, “There’s a difference between you having children and God giving you children. Abraham had Ishmael, and God gave him Isaac.”
I thought about this all day. It’s the same way with anything. You can have a family, or God can give you one. He makes all the difference!!

Yes, Jammie, that is a good testimony. Let me add this note of caution, however.
Many times, as you know , people have what they have because they are disobedient to God. But there need not always be evil involved in someone “having children” instead of God miraculously giving them children, or in simply having a family, or a car, or anything else.
When God miraculously gives us anything, it is a great blessing. But He often gives us choices as to what we would have, and when He does, He blesses whatever choice we make.
Thanks for telling us what you heard from the Lord today. I love testimonies like that.
Pastor John
