Page 7 - Evidence of Things Unseen

Introduction

Christian brother has suggested that the many testimonies of God’s miraculous
Aintervention in my life, and that of my family, are perhaps one of the most valuable
things I have shared, or could share, with the saints. Many others have written to relate to
me how very encouraged they were in reading about some miracle of provision, or healing
God has done on our behalf, for there seem to be few contemporary examples of those who
have cast themselves wholly over into the care of God that they might consequently see Him
do things which have no natural explanation.
As God is calling more and more saints into a walk of faith in various areas of their
lives, such testimonies of God’s faithfulness have great value in encouraging others along
their own pilgrim way. Our own journey is far from over. In truth, I am confident that we
are at the very beginning of those mighty and miraculous things we will see God do. Yet
already we have such a legacy of His faithfulness to us that I could fill a book with these
accounts. This is exactly what I intend to do here.
This is not an account of our own faithfulness, nor is it intended to lift me, or my
family up in the eyes of others. On the contrary, I desire to show how God has chosen the
weakest, most fearful and despised of His children, and by His great grace and unceasing
love He has led us with the gentleness of a Father who has the deepest of compassion for
His children who are all beset with many weaknesses and infirmities. This writer intends
to magnify Yahweh God who alone is the source of faithfulness, as the prophet Isaiah wrote:

Isaiah 63:7-9
I shall make mention of the lovingkindness of Yahweh, the praises of Yahweh,
according to all that Yahweh has granted us, and the great goodness toward the
house of Israel, which He has granted them according to His compassion and
according to the abundance of His lovingkindness... So He became their Savior. In
all their affliction He was afflicted, and the angel of His presence saved them; In His
love and in His mercy He redeemed them, and He lifted them and carried them all
the days of old.

The Psalmist also testified:

Psalms 89:1
I will sing of the mercies of Yahweh forever: with my mouth will I make known thy
faithfulness to all generations.

This is the happy intent of this author, to make known to all generations that God is
faithful, and that even in this late hour He shows forth His mercy and His love in a myriad
of ways to those who will put their trust in Him. May your faith be strengthened as you
read, and may your hope in the God of all comfort be renewed by these testimonies.
