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 seeds my daddy had planted (He had died in 1966 at 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 tow truck and come and get you."
After he had replaced tire and lug nuts, he tightened them down securely and said, "That'll be $75." I paid him, told him Lord sure does work in mysterious ways, and said, under my breath to 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, same tire became wobbly again. I took it back to 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 witness of Holy Ghost and knew my mission had been accomplished. I had planted seeds that needed to be planted, and God would give increase. I had some other problems with that old Pontiac, but I never went back to see that particular mechanic. I finally sold old car for $100.
Hosea 14.9 "Who is wise, and he shall understand these things, prudent, and he shall know them? For ways of Lord are right, and just shall walk in them: but transgressors shall fall therein."
These events with Pontiac happened in 1989. The mechanic I witnessed to now sings in a gospel singing group with his four brothers. God gave increase!
