Thread: Concerning the post about my April 8th reval belief.

Hi Dave,
I was going to send this message to you in a PM but decided to post it on the chance there are others on this forum that feel the same as myself.
Our family has been inundated with loss over the past few years. First, my 21 year old son Paul David...then my 12 year old niece, Codie...then my beloved sister, JoAn, and just last week, my only brother, Gene. The pain of loss and/or failure has a way of whittling down ones faith, especially when that faith was not stong in the beginning. I have always believed, or WANTED to believe in "something", but doubts and fear always tugged away at me...leaving doubt amongst the hope. I have, for the most part, felt that "God" and His love were for others. I was not deserving or important enough, or that He did not exist at all.
The fulfillment of His message to you will be an affirmation of His true existance, for not only myself, but for many others, I feel certain. I commend you for your courage and your faith in posting your message. I thank you for a messaged delivered just at a time it was so very badly needed.
God bless you Dave,
Carol

Carol - Thank you for your boldness in posting. I am very sorry about your losses. My heart grieves for you at this time. It's is difficult to understand the ways of the Lord at times. I have not suffered in the same way that you are now, but, I have had more than my share of difficulties in this life. The only thing that has kept us going at times is the peace and the inward knowledge that I have that God has a plan for me...and you. And, while this world is filled with sin and death, he is in the process of working His will out in your life. So, I will pray for encouragement for you and strength for you to recognize His presence and love for your family during this difficult time.

I do want to caution you, however. Do not build your faith upon other people or of a certain thing happening at a certain time. If the RV happens on April 9th...will that affect how you believe vs. happening on April 7th? I am not at all talking about the validity of what Dave heard from God. I truly believe that God does speak in this way. I too have heard from the Lord and I believe that it was in regards to this investment. My wife and I were councelors at my sons Jr. High camp last summer. The pastor that was speaking gave my wife and I each individual words of knowlege that were absolutely perfect for each of us. He then pulled us aside together and said that God had given him a vision for both of us. He went on to describe the vision and said that God would fulfill dreams in a huge way. My wife and I prior to that had sat down and laid out a plan to develop a giving foundation with the majority of the funds. No time line was given but, he did say that it would be tough for us and that it would take longer than expected but that it woulld work out in the end. So, would I be disappointed in the end if this did not happen? Of course... and I do believe in it 100% and especially after the word. But, I am not going to build my faith on something that comes from the interpretation of another human. Your faith must be built solely on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I'm certainly not immune to things of this life confirming and / or trying to discourage my faith. But, we are called to worship and to praise Him even during the difficult times. Unfortunately, too many people put too much trust in humans and only Jesus is perfect and only Jesus is the one that we should model our lives after. Please note that this has nothing really to do with Dave. I'm sure that what he has posted is real and I am more excited about this "Rumor" than any of the others. But, don't allow this to rock your life and throw you off your search for the truth if it does not come to pass as Dave has said.

Sorry for the sermon. God Bless you in your search and God Bless everyone else as we determine what God's plan is for us with all of this money!


Brabus

Brabus, thank you so much for your response to my post for DocDave. I fully agree with you and will not be dismayed if the revalue does not happen on the specific date anticipated. My inspiration came from his courage to stand up and post in light of the possible bashing and criticism that could come his way. I will seek until I find, but should DocDave receive his million to help spread the word according to his faith, my faith will be supported and reaffirmed ten fold, regardless of where that million comes from. I am so thankful that you too, have received God's word, for that in itself is further confirmation for me. Thank you so very, very much.
May you be blessed
Carol

Hi Carol,

I too, will answer in the open forum for the same reason.

The Spirit of the living God which dwells in me began to grieve for you as I read your words. God so loves you Carol, he gave his only son to die for you. Even if you were the only lost soul on earth, he would have still sent his only son, Jesus to die for you.

Not only did his only son die, he sent him to his death and stood by silently, watching him die… So that we could live. Can you imagine giving you faithful, loving, perfect son over to go and die in some else’s place?

I’m not pointing out what God went through to try and make what you are going through seem less significant. No, I’m telling you that your Heavenly Father knows intimately the pain you are feeling because he has lived it. No one knows the pain and sorrow of losing a child except another parent that is living through it. I believe you have a special, tender place in God’s heart because of what you are going through.

I don’t pretend to know all the reasons why bad things happen to good people, but this I know… the Lord promises to never leave you nor forsake you. And no matter what befalls you, he will give you the strength and grace to handle it.

I don’t know your relationship with the Lord but I encourage you to pray, repent from sin if you haven’t already, commit or recommit your life to him, and ask Jesus take over the reigns of your life.

Soon after I read your words I began to pray and intercede for you. The Lord gave me two things that I believe is from him to you that will minister to your heavy spirit.

The first one is an old gospel song that I haven’t heard since my first pastor died in 1982, it goes like this:

Going down for the last time,
no one heard my cries.
My voice was slowly fading in the tide.

But then from out of nowhere,
you slipped your hand in mine.
And I thank God he found me, just in time.

Just before the waves of somber,
had rocked my soul to sleep.
Just before the angry billows,
pulled me out too deep.

Lord knows how long I drifted,
til I saw that old life line.
And I thank God he found me, just in time.


The second thing is the book titled:
Even Greater – by Reinhard Bonnke

You should be able to find this book at a local book store, but if not…

Amazon.com: Even Greater: 12 Real-life Stories That Inspire You to Do Great Things for God: Books: Reinhard Bonnke


I want to thank Barbus for stepping out and ministering to you. I agree with them, even though I believe with all my heart that I heard the Lord’s voice speaking to my spirit concerning my giving this year, don’t bet your walk with God on it. And I see from your response to Barbus that you don’t. As we know men and women sometimes fail, but God never fails.

Judges 6:12 When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior.

Because of pm's from people who missed my first post and can't find it, I'm reposting it here.


I’ve been a Christian 27 years and the Lord has spoken directly to my spirit 4 times. The first three times everything came to pass just as the Lord said.

The first time was in 1981, I was 24 years old. I had a great job at a petrochemical company. We were on what turned out to be a two week strike and an elder in my church let me work at his little construction company while we were out. One night while I was waiting on my wife to finish getting ready for church I began praying in our living room and the Lord told me to quit my petrochemical job and stay with my brother and help him with his construction company. Wow, that’s something I really didn’t want to do, but I was willing. I told the Lord, I believe that was you speaking to my spirit but to quit my good paying job and go to that little company, how are we going to live, how am I going to tell my wife? I said Lord I need some kind of confirmation so I know, that I know, that I know, it was you. As soon as I got up from praying my wife came out of the bedroom (still not ready, lol) and said, “You will never leave White’s construction”. I said what makes you say that? She said I don’t know I just felt a strong urge to come out here and tell you right now. I learned the Lord’s voice that night and I haven’t asked for a confirmation since then.

In 1988 it was about a woman that was in the hospital dying. The family was called in to say good bye. The Lord told me during prayer one night that if I will go lay hands on her and pray for her she would live, and she did. Her doctor marveled over the fact that not only did she recover, but her lungs looked brand new with no scare tissue.

In 1992 a 55 year old woman in our church ran her Honda accord into the back of a stopped, flatbed, 18 wheeler at about 55 mph. She was in a coma in intensive care and the doctor told her family she wasn’t going to make it. We were having a tent revival at our church and I went down to the tent to pray about 11pm after my wife and kids went to bed. The Lord spoke to my spirit and said, “She shall live and not die, and her latter days shall be greater than her former”. Go and speak these words over her. Well I was happy about the first part, the living and not dying part. But this was a prominent family in the church, she was the pastor’s aunt. Her mother help build the church my pastor grew up in. Even though I knew it was the Lord speaking I had all these thoughts running through my head. Why me, I’m a nobody? Why not the pastor, one the elders, anybody but me? Everyone seemed to be accepting the doctor’s words and was preparing for her death. Lord did I hear you right? I waited 24 hours hoping she would get better, but she took a turn for the worse and then I was afraid she was going to die before I did as I was told. Finally I went to the hospital, knees knocking, walking more by sight than faith. Even though I knew it was the Lord, me having a word from the Lord that these people didn’t have shook me. I went forth and manage to whisper the words of life over her dying body. That wasn’t the way I felt the Lord wanted me to do it, I felt he wanted me to boldly proclaim life over her. But that was the best I could do, I did manage to tell her brother what the Lord told me about her. When I prayed nothing happened. Then later that night she stabilized and two days later she awoke. I haven’t seen her in a few years but the last time I saw her she was back to normal.

On April 21, 2006, I was praying and the Lord told me I would give a million dollars to TBN ministries by resurrection Sunday 2007. (April 8th) I’ve never thought or dreamed about doing anything like that, my thinking would be more along the lines of ten thousand, maybe, and that would be a stretch for me. At that time I wasn’t reading the forums and I believed the dinar wouldn’t reval for at least 4 or 5 years. So I assumed the Lord would open a door for it to happen in my business. But it never happened and time is running out. So now I assume it will be the dinar. And those same doubtful thoughts run through my mind, Lord did I hear you right? It was you, right? Never the less, I believe!

I’m not saying we have to wait until April 8th for the reval to happen, I’m saying that I believe it will be said and done by then.

DocDave, What can I say? I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

CCGideon,
I PM DocDave the other day and thought his story was awesome. In this day and age it is hard to profess your faith and not be ridiculed. The older I get I guess I understand more and more about my faith. I too get discouraged and frustrated but down the road it all works out. My Dad who was only 67 yrs old when he died of cancer always use to say, nothing bad happens that something good does not come out of it. I beleive this as I told Dave about our story. In 1973 my husband and I lost our first son at childbirth. We both wanted kids terribly and then this happened. Lo and behold I get pregnant again shortly after and carried this son also full term. He was born alive and lived for about 5 hours before he died. We were devastated. We were told not to have anymore children. Now what do we do. We started adoption procedings, but we had to be married 4 years before we could start. Finally we got that first call back in February 1976 that we had a son. Boy were we thrilled. Then 2 years later another son who by the way is mentally challenged which got us into Special Olympics. The 1 1/2 years later we got our daughter. You see we love kids and would have upteen of them if we could. I guess that is why we do special olympics and I run a daycare because of all the kids. But the point I am trying to make is it was bad losing 2 boys but if that would not have happened we would not have the 3 we have today and we would not trade them for anyone. My dad has been dead almost 8 years and I still do not know the good that will come out of that yet taking him at such a young age, although it did teach us all how to take care of the dying and showed our kids alot having to take care of their grandpa. Hang in their CC and all the other rolclub members. God has a plan for us all and some of us finish it sooner than the rest. I sometimes think that he takes the best first. We appreciate all of you on this forum and thank God that he has lead us on this adventure. We think of all of you often and keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Enjoy the rest of the week-end and here is to the RV!!!!
