Confirmed by the Spirit

The night before papers were to be signed for ownership, Karen awoke during the night and was filled with anxiousness and fear of what she was about to do. The fear was so strong that it felt like a panic attack coupled with an anxiety attack. Karen said she thought, “God wouldn’t scare me like this. He would just tell me not to do it.” So Karen thought perhaps it was the devil trying to scare her. Karen started to say “Jesus, I trust in you. Jesus, I trust in You,” about three our four times, and the feeling of fear and anxiety disappeared. Karen then told the Holy Spirit that she wanted to do God’s will but she needed to be sure this was God’s will. She had just read a book called “My Gospel” by a local man who was now about 70 years of age and had heard the Holy Spirit for many years, and in his book the man said we could ask for a sign if we really needed to know if something was from God—that God wasn’t offended by this. The gentleman also said you should make it a specific sign so there would be no doubt of the sign. Karen then told the Holy Spirit that this is what she was going to do. She said if this sign then happens, I promise I will do as you ask. Karen thought this to herself and did not speak it out loud as the book said the devil could her us but not read our mind. Karen told the Spirit that she was meeting an individual the next morning, and that this person knew about all what the Spirit had asked her to do. This person had indicated they would donate several thousand dollars, would volunteer there one day a week, and would be praying for Karen and Do Good. So Karen told the Spirit that she wanted this person to spontaneously give her $10,000.00 the next morning. Karen didn’t care if 100 people gave her $10,000.00 this sign would only count if this particular person gave the money. Karen also told the Spirit that she wanted this person to give her the money before noon as Karen was signing papers in the afternoon. The next morning Karen and this person met and during the conversation the person handed Karen an envelope and said this was their donation. But as she said it, the person told Karen it was more than what they had first indicated because as she was writing out the check, she felt that God wanted her family to give more and so they did. Karen was going to open the envelope but the person asked her not to, so Karen thanked her for whatever it was, and then they went on with their conversation. As Karen was driving home she opened the envelope and saw a check for $10,000.00. Karen looked at her car counsel and saw that it wasn’t quite noon. Karen was amazed at this occurrence and then promised the Holy Spirit that she would do what He was asking.

Amazed by God’s Glory

The Holy Spirit told Karen to trust Him for what she would need. Karen was particularly concerned with the financial aspect of this endeavor. During the middle of the construction a large payment was due. Karen had asked the Holy Spirit how she was to handle this payment because she didn’t have the needed money. The Holy Spirit said she was to trust Him and He would provide for her. The bill for the payment came in the mail and Karen was to pay her contractor $360,000.00 by the end of the month. She didn’t have any of the needed money. She prayed and prayed asking for guidance, but the Holy Spirit only continued to say she had to trust Him. During Sunday mass, six days before the payment was due, the Holy Spirit told Karen she was to wait two more days and then she would be amazed by God’s glory. Karen cried at mass when she heard this, but said she would try to wait two more days. During morning prayers on the second day, the Holy Spirit said the name of a couple and said Karen was to talk to them because they would now help her. Karen told the Spirit that if she saw one of them at the morning mass she would approach them. She asked this as a confirmation that she was to speak to them—they were not from Karen’s parish nor from her cluster although she has seen them at her church at different times. Karen saw one of them at the mass, and then approached the person after church was over. After they talked, the couple agreed to speak to Karen that evening in their home. After telling the couple of the many signs and miracles that had occurred, Karen told the couple she was in need of financial help. The couple asked what amount of financial help she was in need of. Karen then shared that she needed $360,000.00 in three days. The couple asked for a few minutes to talk by themselves. When Karen reentered the room they gave her a check for $360,000.00. Karen was amazed by God’s glory!
