I am a 22-year-old sister from Upington, and I'm currently studying in Cape Town. When I got to University I struggled to find accommodation and financial aid for my tuition. By God's Grace, the Lord provided accommodation but my tuition fees were the real issue. The financial aid that I applied to, could not find my application by any means. There was no record showing that I did apply. Believers prayed, but I was so discouraged. Just as I was at the point of giving up, the Lord answered. They found my application, and up till this day I do not know what happened. A miracle, I would say.
Through all these trials I knew that God was speaking to me personally. The Lord spoke to me years back, but I kept on running away. Fear of following the Message controlled my life. I suffered much because of this.
But the Lord called me again (22nd October 2017, Sunday) in church, but again fear got a hold of me. I got home and prayed that God would give me wisdom, but every time I prayed, He felt so far.
Then again, the Lord visited me when I listened to the "Quote of The Day" on the 24th October 2017 titled "Why?". Brother Branham spoke about the very thing that I was struggling with, FEAR. He said that we should not be afraid of the Word of God. It is here to help us, not to harm us. That day I knew it was God Himself speaking to me through Brother Branham, and I fully surrendered.
I am so grateful for His Grace, Grace that I surely do not deserve.
I want to thank every believer who did not give up on me: those who prayed, my parents, my pastor and his family, and VGR for supplying the quotes. It has been a real blessing to me, and I still listen to it every morning before I go to Varsity. I also listen daily to the Message of the Hour.
I would like to encourage all young people not to hesitate and procrastinate when God is calling them. Listen to that still small Voice and follow Him quickly.
God Bless
