We are very fortunate to have the writings of Michael Wells. He is one
of whom it can be said, “He has been everywhere, seen everything, and seen
everyone.” With that, God has given Michael things to share that very few ever “see.”
Michael, Betty, and ALMI have been taking discipleship to the far
reaches of this earth for many, many years. To groups of 5, 10, 25, 50…whomever
God brings to hear the great Truths of God that MAKE His people free from any
bondage. And writings that capture the Mind of Christ.
So, look at a startling Truth that the freedom of dependence on God, not
man, can bring to an otherwise sad situation.
DAY 342
What Will You Learn When You Are Cheated?
Let each one do just as
he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves
a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that always
having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good
deed; as it is written, “He scattered abroad, He gave to the poor, His
righteousness abides forever.” --II Corinthians 9:7-9
I actually believe that the Lord, on occasion, has
allowed me to be cheated, stolen from, to misplace money, and even to have it
fly out a window or drop down a sewer. Why? We can say that our
security is in Him, that we believe in His provision, and that we are living
under His control. However, our
reaction to money lost is an indication of where we really stand in relation to
those things. When I give, and give liberally, I am in faith. I have
control over the giving. However, theft is uncontrolled giving without the
consent of my will, giving I had not planned on, giving of what I had laid
aside for a predetermined use. If I react negatively when it disappears, what
does that reveal about my heart? It is a fact that I am living under His provision, and as the Scriptures say,
“The Lord gives and the Lord takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”

This writing falls into the category of “all of the above.” Those who
have been one who ministered “with” Michael, Betty, and ALMI back in the days
Michael was on the road and sending those great Trip Reports remember the stories he told of people, places, and
events all over the globe. How many times did Michael have something stolen from him, get cheated, or misplace something
himself? His story of his responses taught a lot of us 2 words: “Well, amen.”
It has been my privilege to share those two words with so many and see
the demeanor of many persons change immediately. Well, amen.
It is a beautiful thing to be taught of God that His “secret” to all
this is one thing; He “is able to make all grace abound to you, that always
having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good
deed.” All the time, whether when He giveth, or He taketh away…to which we say,
“Blessed be the name of the Lord.” Well, amen.
Oh, would you like to travel with
Michael and get some of those “on-the spot” insights God gave him? Contact ALMI
and order his book, Untold Stories & Unknown Saints. This is a terrific book with hundreds of travel
stories and Spiritual insights over years of travelling around the globe. A
must for those wanting to go further with Michael Wells and ALMI.
