Guaranteed Car Lend

The Car That God Used
By Irvin Rozier

Ecclesiastes 3.1 "To every thing there is a season, and a time
to every purpose under the Heaven."

I had an old Pontiac that the Lord gave me in answer to prayer.

He moved on someone to buy it for me as I was walking at that
period of my journey with the Lord. I was glad to get that old
car and the old man who sold it to us was glad to get rid of it.

One thousand dollars let me drive it away. Shortly, the motor
went bad and had to be replaced. This gave me an opportunity
to talk to a man about his eternal destination (witnessing it's
called).

Well, after the motor was fixed, the transmission went bad. I
had a mechanic that I grew up with fix it for $300. There
again, I was moved on by the Spirit to witness to this man.
You see, his Mama had been praying for him for years, asking
the Lord to send someone by to talk to her son about Jesus. I
was the someone, and the Lord had arranged for my transmission
to quit so the door would be open.

About 28 days after he fixed the transmission, it went out
again. I was in town and the car rolled to a spot in front of
a house by the railroad tracks. I walked on home (about two
miles) and called the mechanic who had repaired the
transmission. I relayed my problem, and he said, "Okay, I'll
get the tow truck and go get it. Where is it located?" I told
him where it was (I had got the address number of the house
before I left the car). I heard a short pause and then he
said, "I live in that house." I had no idea he lived there; I
thought he lived by his shop which was about three miles away.
Well, he went to get the car and called me after he had fixed
it. He said, "There will be no charge as your 30 days warranty
is in effect. By the way, I can't believe where the car
stopped." I replied, "The Lord works in wonderful ways, his
wonders to perform."

A few months later, I took my daughter, Joy, to Hinesville to
pick up a friend she had met while going to school there. On
the way back, I heard a thunk, looked in my rearview mirror and
saw one of my tires rolling on down the highway. I pulled over
on the shoulder of the road, and told the girls to sit there
while I inspected the damage.

All the lug nuts had come loose which caused the tire to roll
away. I went looking for the tire but never found it.
Earlier, when I had looked in my rearview mirror, I saw a car
stop. I guess they picked up the tire. They must have needed
it worse than I did.

I walked up to a man's house, told him what had happened and
introduced myself. He knew my daddy and said over twenty years
ago, my daddy had prayed for him. God had set up this divine
appointment to remind me of the seeds my daddy had planted (He
had died in 1966 at the age of forty..he was a preacher). My
car had stopped at that exact location for a divine purpose.
He let me use his phone, and I called my mechanic. I said,
"It's me again. My tire rolled away." He paused and said,
"I'll get the tow truck and come and get you."

After he had replaced the tire and lug nuts, he tightened them
down securely and said, "That'll be $75." I paid him, told him
the Lord sure does work in mysterious ways, and said, under my
breath to the Lord, "Lord, this is getting to be expensive
witnessing!" The Lord replied, "I'm answering his Mama's
prayers by sending you by. I know I can trust you to tell him
what I tell you to tell him."

Two weeks later, the same tire became wobbly again. I took it
back to the mechanic and he said, "What now?" I replied, "The
lug nuts are loose again." He checked them and with a look of
shock said, "Someone put metric instead of standard lug nuts on
this wheel. Do you have any enemies?" I replied, "Yes, only
one...the Devil." As I spoke these words, I felt the witness
of the Holy Ghost and knew my mission had been accomplished. I
had planted seeds that needed to be planted, and God would give
the increase. I had some other problems with that old Pontiac,
but I never went back to see that particular mechanic. I
finally sold the old car for $100.

Hosea 14.9 "Who is wise, and he shall understand these things,
prudent, and he shall know them? For the ways of the Lord are
right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors
shall fall therein."

These events with the Pontiac happened in 1989. The mechanic I
witnessed to now sings in a gospel singing group with his four
brothers. God gave the increase!
