IS IT REAL? (REPOST)
All this God stuff I’m writing about every day. I get questioned by atheists all the time who don’t believe, and I simply share what I heard from a Pastor:
“He told a story of a guy having a debate with some atheists, who gave so many reasons why we should not believe in God. After which, the man calmly took a bite of the apple and then asked the atheist, “Is this apple sweet or sour?” The atheist replied, “How would I know if I haven’t tasted it?” The guy then replies, “That’s the same with my God, until you’ve tasted the sweetness, you’ll never know.””
Like take for example, I went to the U.S. with lots of challenges on my plate to deal with. I went to work at our office there, and I’m told that we must replace the building’s roof to pass a re-certification process.
It just so happened that the first printed copy of my book had just arrived and after hearing this news and feeling overwhelmed by everything else I had to contend with, I had an appointment with God reading it. I was reminded of all the many challenges I’ve been through that God magically had solutions come to my mind, the right people show up to assist me and His Spirit guiding me step by step on how to handle them. I left that appointment feeling super confident! I’m more than a conqueror; my God is with me!
There were like four professionals that we had contacted who all advised us to replace the roof. Here’s where persistence and determination pay off because I refused to go that route, despite being told by all these “experts” that this was the only way to go. At one point, even my husband said, “Nikki, enough already, let’s move forward with replacing the roof.” I said, “No, God has the final word!”
My assistant needed to mail something out to the firm we had hired to help us with this process. And because time was of the essence, I told her we should personally take it. She gets there, and she’s given the best advice, go to the re-certification office directly and speak with them explaining the situation. She ended up talking to an unbelievably nice guy who said that all the experts were wrong and because we had documents to back up our case, he approved our building’s roof as is- no replacement necessary!
This has been the case so many times with God. He guides us to the right people to assist us, the right solutions and the right steps to take, no matter the challenge that comes our way. In fact, that went for all the problems I had to deal with on that trip. I’ll never forget wanting to hire another expert at one point to help me with another matter, and God says to me in an appointment that He’s the only expert I needed. It was His way of training me to go out on a limb with Him, trusting Him to guide me. It worked. I’m feeling so close to Him, and I want you guys here with me!
Is it real? I don’t know for you, but I’ve tasted the sweetness of God, and I’m not letting go.
