In a prior testimony I used the Lord to help me hire a couple of employees. I thought I would get nice hard working Christian employees. What He had me trying to hire were people drawn into the demonic so He could use me to talk to them about Him.
What I learn was that He is serious about His work, which is that all should come to know the Son. He really does care for the lost --- but I needed a couple of employees for my work, so I decided to be a bit more specific and as Him to help my find a couple of Christian employees.
I then did the same as before, taking about 100 application we had and turning them over one by one and asking our Lord Jesus Christ who to hire. Again He picked out just two employees. I usually brought in 3 for every job opening and decided during the interview process. Anyway, I brought in the two He choose. They seem ok, and I hire them.
And they were ok, but not nearly as good employees as the Jewish girl from Russia that was reading tarot cards. She was sharper, faster, friendlier, and a harder worker. What I found out is that God loves us, just because we are Christians, and what a variety of people He has and puts up with. Being Christian apparently has nothing to do with being sharper, faster, friendlier, or even being a harder worker. It means you have some type of relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. That is what I found out.
The first employee I hired turned out to be what some might call a "Name it and Claim it" Christian. He was a nice guy and friendly, but he could also get a bit frustrated or impatient at times. He also talked way too much, but it is written that God uses the foolish things of this world and that you can tell a fool by the number of his words. I qualify for that also. So I like this guy. Yet what a fool.
He had a wife and a new baby. So his wife worked also, but he only worked part time for us and didn't have another job. Also, this was not a high paying job! Still, that might all be understandable except his prime concern was not providing for his family but rather is prime concern was his big beautiful white truck. He gave glory to God for getting him that fantastic truck. He told me how he had wanted a truck like that and knew there was no way to get it, but he pointed it out to the Lord, said he wanted it, believed the Lord could get it for him, and the Lord came through for him!
What a great testimony he had, except that left him with a big car payment. So the weeks before the payments he would bug me for more hours because he had to make the payments. Then right after he made the payment he wanted fewer hours so he could do things around and with his church. It turned out that his wife and her fulltime job took care of most of the bills, and they didn't have much, of course.
Now, I enjoyed talking to Him, because we could talk about Jesus. Never-the-less, for him it seem Jesus was there to get him what he needed. To me it is about seeking Jesus as Lord to find out what I need to do. This morning the Lord asked me to continue to post testimonies.
My testimony is about hearing the Lord and being put into situation in which I learn from. I am pretty sure it was the same for that Christian man I hired, but since he did not actually listen to the Lord it seemed he had a hard time understanding that God giving him the big truck with the big car payment was a situation God provided to help him learn from, but I don't think he understood because he did really seek the voice of the One he believed in.
