GOD can change things suddenly! (In fact, that’s pretty much the way HE always does BIG things.)
The reason I want you to understand this is so that you can be expecting it to happen in your own life!
Here are a few examples from the Bible, and a few from nowadays:
(In all these cases there was a time of preparation, sometimes MANY years, and sometimes very difficult, before the change occurred suddenly!)
**As a child (King) David was seen as the most insignificant of eight brothers, spending most of his time tending sheep. But when he killed the giant Goliath with a single smooth stone EVERYTHING CHANGED, and he ultimately became king! (1 Samuel 17)
**The Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years, eating nothing but manna and grumbling constantly. But when Moses died and Joshua took over, they followed specific (crazy, simple) instructions Joshua received from GOD, and the water of the Jordan River stood up in a heap so they could easily walk out of the desert and into their promised land! (Joshua 3)
**A widow’s creditor was coming to take her two sons as slaves because she had no money to pay her debt. All she had was a little oil. Elisha instructed her to get as many jars as possible from her neighbors, shut the door, and begin pouring the oil into the jars. Every jar was filled, and she was able to pay off her debt completely, with leftover money to live on! (2 Kings 4:1-7)
But does GOD still do that today? Of course HE does!
**Joel Osteen was a cameraman for his dad’s ministry, had no desire to be in front of a camera, didn’t go to Bible school and had a fear of public speaking. In spite of all this, when his dad passed away, he felt led to step into the role of pastor.
In the face of tremendous opposition he pushed on, and today his televised sermons are seen by more than 7 million people a week and his first book, “Your Best Life Now,” sold more than 10 million copies.
**On April 11, 2009, the world was introduced to Susan Boyle. This shy, unassuming, and seemingly “awkward” 47 year-old woman appeared on Britain’s Got Talent. During the opening interview the judges were sarcastic, and the audience rolled their eyes and snickered, but once she opened her mouth and sang “I Dreamed a Dream” jaws dropped in disbelief, and she received a standing ovation. Her first album sold over a million copies in six weeks! (I highly recommend watching it online.)
OK, but what about “regular” people like you and me?
**I used to be a shy, broke, stay-at-home homeschooling mom with five kids under eight years old and I went on to become one of the top 20 out of 500,000 in a network marketing company, in record time!
But most importantly, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
What is the situation you’ve been dealing with a long, long time? Whatever it is, GOD CAN CHANGE IT SUDDENLY! You need to stay the course, NEVER give up, and move forward with a new heavenly confidence, knowing HE’s got your back … and that HIS plan for you is so much more than you could ever dream possible.
“See I AM doing a new thing! NOW it SPRINGS UP, do you not perceive it?” Isaiah 43:19
