During this time, an event from over twenty-five years ago suddenly came to my mind.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I remembered when I had just moved to Cleveland, Tennessee to work for Norvel Hayes Ministries. Since I had relocated from another city, I brought very little furniture with me\u2014just my bed and a bookshelf to hold my books and Bibles. I found a lovely little house to rent from a wonderful couple, but it was quite empty.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I began to pray about furnishing my home. In my prayers, God prompted me to create a very specific list of what I wanted. I made my list and prayed over it daily.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After a couple of weeks, someone called to let me know they had furniture available for me to look at. I went to see it, and as I stood there, I thought, \"Well, it's not what I wanted or what was on my list, but at least it would be something.\" In that moment, God spoke to me and said,&nbsp;<strong>\"If you settle for this, this is all you will have\u2014nothing more than what you settle for.\"<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I thanked them for their time and told them it wasn't what I was looking for. I drove back home to my empty house and waited for the provision I had prayed for. I waited and waited. For about two months, I waited in my empty house.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"subtitle\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Not Just Everything You Wish For, but Everything You Desire&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span> &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/elijahlist.com\/words\/display_word.html?ID=32146\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">continue &gt;&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","fulltext":"","state":1,"catid":"8","created":"2025-02-09 14:39:03","created_by":"873","created_by_alias":"","modified":"2025-02-09 14:39:49","modified_by":"873","checked_out":"873","checked_out_time":"2025-02-09 14:39:37","publish_up":"2025-02-09 14:39:03","publish_down":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","images":"{\"image_intro\":\"\",\"float_intro\":\"\",\"image_intro_alt\":\"\",\"image_intro_caption\":\"\",\"image_fulltext\":\"\",\"float_fulltext\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_alt\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_caption\":\"\"}","urls":"{\"urla\":false,\"urlatext\":\"\",\"targeta\":\"\",\"urlb\":false,\"urlbtext\":\"\",\"targetb\":\"\",\"urlc\":false,\"urlctext\":\"\",\"targetc\":\"\"}","attribs":"{\"article_layout\":\"\",\"show_title\":\"\",\"link_titles\":\"\",\"show_tags\":\"\",\"show_intro\":\"\",\"info_block_position\":\"\",\"info_block_show_title\":\"\",\"show_category\":\"\",\"link_category\":\"\",\"show_parent_category\":\"\",\"link_parent_category\":\"\",\"show_associations\":\"\",\"show_author\":\"\",\"link_author\":\"\",\"show_create_date\":\"\",\"show_modify_date\":\"\",\"show_publish_date\":\"\",\"show_item_navigation\":\"\",\"show_icons\":\"\",\"show_print_icon\":\"\",\"show_email_icon\":\"\",\"show_vote\":\"\",\"show_hits\":\"\",\"show_noauth\":\"\",\"urls_position\":\"\",\"alternative_readmore\":\"\",\"article_page_title\":\"\",\"show_publishing_options\":\"\",\"show_article_options\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_backend\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_frontend\":\"\"}","version":2,"ordering":"0","metakey":"","metadesc":"","access":"1","hits":"0","metadata":"{\"robots\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"rights\":\"\",\"xreference\":\"\"}","featured":"1","language":"*","xreference":"","note":""}
