AWESOME ANSWER TO PRAYER!

Last week a lady from the bank (where our church loan is) said she had someone at the bank in her office right now and the person wanted to pay off our church loan. They needed permission from whoever signed the loan. The person wanted to pay the church loan in full and stay anonymous. Now we do not go to a huge church so it is not a million dollar loan. But the Lord provided the money through this person and they faithfully wanted to give it to the church! Can you even imagine having about $100,000? Then wanting to take all that money and pay off some church loan instead of using it yourself? Just awesome.

Matthew 6:1-8
1 "Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what they right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hyporites are: for they love to pray standing in the synogogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not yet therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things you have need of, before ye ask him."
