peace, love, grace, faith, hope, joy, abundance

Galatians 5:22  NRSV

…. the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.  There is no law against these things.

Philippians 4:4 -7  NRSV

Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice!  Let your  gentleness be known to everyone.  The Lord is near.   Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.   And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in  Christ Jesus.

Bill’s Story: Jobless to Job-Full

April 2, 2000 Bill Vilbig

I was jobless for months ….. but no more!

I did not know how long my faith could stand the test.  I was at the end of my rope.  My benefits ended April 3.  I attended Mabuhay’s Sunday at Five fellowship in April, wondering what I was doing there on a Sunday afternoon, except that Ajay said he needed me there. Then the altar call came.  Zonia came to where I was standing in the back,  and said “Go to the front, Bill.”

I went without hesitation, and was prayed over by the group.  That was around 6:45 or 7:00 pm.  When I got home, there was an email message waiting for me.  It was sent at 7:30 pm, and was asking me to report to a job.  The following day, I also got a phone call from a couple in church to be a caregiver for someone in their family who was sick.  So now I have two jobs. God answers prayers. God is so good!   ~  Bill
