Last Saturday night, I had Dinner out with a couple of my friends from where we work.
Two of the ladies we have worked with, at the same home, was being accused of stealing a certain item for this woman we had been staying with.
She had accused them several times before. They were really sick of this false accusation.
We were all talking about this matter as we ate. The one of us who was being accused was really upset, for she had told our boss about this mess and accused these women on more than one occasion.
As my friend spoke of this matter, and how upset she was about it, the Lord moved on me to pray that the woman would find the item she claimed they had stolen.
I said to the two friends, Let's pray right now that she will find it.
They neither one claim to have anything with God, but they said, we will. So I prayed and they were silent, but I suppose they were in prayer silently.
Just a few minutes ago, this friend called me on the phone. She was excited and said, "guess what! Mrs. 'so-and-so' found the lost item. The prayer was answered!"
The other lady, who had been with us at the Dinner, had found out and called our boss and reported that the item had been found.
I just want to give Jesus praise right now for this answer to prayer, and for vindicating my friends. I knew in my heart they had not stolen the item.
I had gone to see the woman, Mrs so-and-so, on my way to the dinner with my friends.
The very first thing which came out of her mouth was to tell me about the stolen item and how she believed one of the two stole it.
I told her, No, I do not believe either of them stole it. I said, It will turn up. She and her neice and the other woman who is with her now, said, No, it will not show up. It was stolen.
I told her again, No, it will show up. then you will see that they did not steal it. and so it was, after God spoke to me and told me to pray about it at the dinner table.
People, it pays to obey our God and get praise and honour for Him. this could be used to build up real faith in my two friends.
This matter had been going on for a little while, so it seemed certain to all, that this item was gone from her home. But it was there all the time.
It is time for us all to take all things to God in prayer. In faith, he will move for us.
