The Answer Article by: Pastor Will Matherly _____________________________ It breaks my heart to
hear of others pain, Their hunger, despair, persecution and feelings of Hopelessness. But what can I or any of us do, If we
don’t have the means available to help ? By Faith, Prayer, Asking and trusting in God, All
things are possible. The same Spirit that draws us to salvation, Will guide us to The Answer for those needs. Is
it better to Give someone a Pound of Gold, Or the Answer to their Problem ? If you had the choice,
of Winning One Hundred Million Dollars, Or having the Answer, the cure and the fix to any issue that would ever arise in your
life, Which one would you choose, The Gold or the Answers ? The Answer does not come to your door
in the form of a sack full of Gold. The Answer comes in the form of Jesus Himself, His Spirit, His words he writes on and
into your heart. The answer comes in the form of Trust in Jesus to supply all your needs. Why are we looking to the world
for worldly treasures, When the only Treasure we will ever need is Jesus Christ Himself. I can preach under a
tree, or a Bridge. I will find the ones in need of The Answer in the world at large. If we honestly want to help others, Then
give them the tools to Plow, Plant and maintain a spiritual garden in their own personal lives, That’s The Answer friends.
Lead them to the ONLY ONE who can honestly help them, Jesus Christ Himself, Our Friend, Redeemer, Savior, Provider, and Constant
Companion. My family and I have been so destitute, We didn’t know where our next bite of food
was coming from, And we are still that way today. But when the end of the road comes, Jesus ALWAYS starts building more Road.
When the little Money or Food we have is gone, Praise God, he will show my wife or I where to look and find
the needs we must have. He provides food, Shelter, Peace, Joy, Love and Contentment no matter what
state our finances are in. He lays up treasure far in advance, for that day when all hope is lost, and then makes the way
where there is no way for those who trust in him. How do I know this, Because its my life, my wife and I have lived it, Breathed
it, Drank it, Ate it, Slept it. Friend at one time in our life, Bunnie and I had it all. Several Homes,
300+ feet of Store front on the corner of town. You couldn’t get in or out of town without passing our Store. We had
a Auction and Wholesale business, that turned $40,000.00 + in the first 3 months it was open, and that was by word of Mouth
only. But the Coal Fields in our area shut down, and we lost everything we had, and I do mean EVERYTHING !!!! I prayed, and trusted
in God for the way out, We were Homeless, and Broke with No Where to go. God told me who to call, a Finance company, He said
ask about the Mobile Homes they have for sale. I called information and ask for the number, Then called them up, and ask what
they had available. They sent me a sheet and we spent the last $10.00 we had in the world to buy gasoline and go look at the
two Mobil Homes they told us they had. CHEAP !! Man they were a Wreck, I called them back, and without
a penny to my name, I agreed to $5000.00 US Because God Said to Agree !!!! Now bear in Mind, I don’t have one single
dollar to my name, Bunny and I are broke and I mean BROKE !! Bunnie stood there looking at me like
I was Crazy, I told the man, I will send you the Money in the next 48 hours. Why, Because God said so !!! That’s why
! When I hung up the phone, Bunnie said and I quote, “What Did You Just Agree To” … I said
Honey, Its ok, God will provide, I don’t know how, But He Said he would and I believe Him !!! This was about 4:30 US
eastern Time. No one knew our situation, Bunnie and I just don’t tell others our problems, We never
have, We just turn them over to God and let him Lead, and Lead he did. By 10 PM that same night, My nephew
had called, Asking to borrow my Yard Tractor, Telling me he was Going to have to find a deal on one somewhere, and ask me
if I would be interested in Selling Mine. I said Sure, and Priced it, He said can I come and pick it up in the Morning and
of course I said You Sure can !!! My Brother called, Asking about a Truck I had, He said his just
Quit, and he had to find a Deal on a truck and Quick, I priced it and he said, Deal , I will take it, Can I come get it in
the Morning, I said Sure !!! Within 5 hours, God had made the way, God had given us another home, a
roof to cover our heads and we didn’t have to do one thing but trust in him 111%. Friend, God is God, he owns the cattle
on a thousand hills, He made the gold, diamonds, Silver and precious stones. I don’t know how God will work things out
for you, But I do know, and I know it beyond the Shadow of a Doubt, That if you will simply Give your troubles to him, and
then Trust in the words God will write into your heart and mind. God WILL make the way, But you have to do your part too,
No matter how Crazy it may seem. God is the same God that provided our Light Bill, from a Cloths
Dryer, the night before they were going to turn them off. God said Trust me Will, I have it under control. So I did. God is
the same God, Who just a little over a month ago, gave us $40 when we had gathered up and spent the last change we could find,
and were Broke once again. God is the same God today as he was that Cold Dark Night back in 1986 that brought me out of the
Fire in that Gasoline Tanker I was trapped in and Literally Saved my life. God is the same God that Brought that 18 month
old little boy back to life, when I had done all I could humanly possibly do myself, and he was Still dead. He is the same
God that Said Pray, so I did, and Little David is Alive and Well Today !!! GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY !!!! God is the God of New
Plans, The God of I can, The Great I AM, Creator of ALL, Giver of Good Gifts, and maker of Life its self. God of your fathers,
and their Fathers, The same god that was and Still is, The Same God who is Giving me the ability to breath , think and type
this Article at this very Moment. The Same God that is there with you as you read this. Friend, Is there anything he can not
do ? He is God ! Simply put, Jesus Christ is ……. THE ANSWER !!! With Much Hope and Love, Pastor Will |
