God Honors Agreements Made in His Name

Almost 2 years ago my sister and I joined a discipleship class at your old church in Maryland. One of the attendees, Susana made a claim that my sister, her and myself were going to get married. We were the single women in the group and all wanted husbands. We said a prayer and made an agreement that we would attend each others weddings.
Last month I received an e-mail from Susana that she was getting married!!! I was so happy for her. God is good and He keeps all His promises. We had been praying for her and God answered our prayers. She mailed us an invite to her wedding but we were not sure if we could attend. The wedding us a week away when we received the invitation and we were not financially prepared to make a trip.
A couple of days before the wedding the Holy Spirit convicted me and ask me why we were not going to the wedding. I said "Lord, you know the situation we are going through right now. We can not afford to make a trip at this time." Than the Lord brought to my remembrance that we had made an agreement that we would attend each other's weddings. I spoke to my sister about it and we both agreed that we had to attend the wedding. The Lord would want us to honor our promise, just like he did with Susana's marriage.
So, we went to the wedding, knowing that the Lord would provide. It was such a blessing to see Susana in her beautiful wedding gown. She was stunning!! We started to cry as she was escorted by her mother down the isle. She and her husband make a beautiful couple.


God is so good and he always gives you the best of the best.
It was also a blessing for us to see God being glorified throughout the ceremony. Susana was so happy to see us and she started to rub our arms so that we can get some of the blessing. It was a lot of fun and we had a great time. What I learned is that God loves when we claim blessings, promises, deliverance and circumstances in His name. He also enjoys it when we do it with members of the Body because we are in agreement and one accord. Jesus said "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."–Matt. 18:20
Praise the Lord!
