In my own life.... if Messiah Yeshua - Jesus had not
allowed me to be hit with bleeding ulcers..... and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis....... if I had been really healthy and athletic all during my teens and twenties.... .i might never have repented......and who could tell if I might not even have been drawn into the occult??????
I also consider it a miracle that the Holy Spirit prepared me to be able to hear Mr. Garner Ted Armstrong when he put forward evidence for Creationism.....and pretty much disproved Atheistic Evolutionary Theory. G-d sent labourers into the harvest...... or I would likely still be an Atheist like I was from with I was eight years old until I was about twelve or thirteen.
Daniel 9:1 (KJV)
Dan 9:4
And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
O Lord, righteousness
belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel,
that are near, and
that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
