God Avenges Me, Harassment

at my last job, I was terribly sexually harassed by the treasurer of the company. He even blatantly propositioned me. He was a married man with children. And this man knew I was married.

I sought counsel and was told that if I reported this man that I would be fired.

I continually prayed for God to remove this man from my life. A few months later the man left the office for good and moved away! I was so happy!

But then this man began calling me at home and leaving messages. I was so worried, and scared. I asked God to teach this man a lesson, so that he'd never hurt another woman. I asked God to show this man that God was in control; for God to bring this man to his knees and convert this man; for this man to acknowledge that God is the God of the universe, and that God is all powerful and not this man.

3 days later this man's wife died; six months later he contracted brain cancer, losing the use of his hands; one year later he contracted liver cancer and died.

It is extremely sad and chilling that all this happened.
Hebrews 10:30: revenge is Mine, says God. I will repay.

The Need of True Men

The greatest want of the world is the want of men - men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.    Education, p 57, Ellen G White

Solve the Problem

There are not many, even among educators and statesmen, who comprehend the causes that underlie the present state of society.  Those who hold the reins of government are not able to solve the problem of moral corruption, poverty, pauperism, and increasing crime.  They are
struggling in vain to place business operations on a more secure basis.  If men would give more heed to the teachings of Gods word, they would find a solution of the problems that perplex them.

Infection Healed by Prayer

July 10,2017 I had a bad bladder infection.  It was too late in the day and week to see the doctor; and I really did not have the money for an office call.  I knew God can heal, so I prayed.

I prayed for God to take notice of my predicament of health and money. I reminded God of the various times He has healed me in the past.  I claimed Bible promises. I asked forgiveness for my sins, naming all I could remember.  And then I asked God for healing.  Immediately I thanked God for the healing

And I was healed, from that moment on!

Praise God! He is sooo good!

Health and Healing

God heals. Sometimes instantly, sometimes gradually.  Then sometimes God, who sees the future as we do not, does not heal at all.  He simply answers, No.  But always remember, God is too wise to make a mistake and too good to be unkind.

By George Vandeman, Planet in Rebellion, p 204-205, Southern Publishing Assoc., Nashville, Tennessee, USA,  1960
