I cannot think of any explanation for this testimony other than a miracle from God.
After driving my car over 600 miles to help move my grandma to her daughter's home for additional care, it began to leak fuel around the fuel rail. It had a strong smell of fuel when inside the vehicle too.
It also had a horrible vibration during braking, which began happening after a brake job.
So, I took it back to the place that did the brake work and asked them to check the fuel leak too.
They told me it was the fuel rail, rotted from the inside, and it would cost over $1,500 to fix. As that cost was worth over a month of my salary, I told them not to fix it and I would just drive it home (not knowing what I would do with it).
When I picked it up the next week, I found out that they didn't charge me anything. Even though they had inspected the car for the fuel leak, there was no cost to me.
When I started the car, I noticed there was no longer any fuel smell. I looked under the hood and there was no more leak!
In addition, they had fixed the brakes from their previous job, and now there was no more vibration!
I had prayed for God to resolve the situation, because I had no means to do it. This seems to be nothing short of a miracle, as the fuel leak simply vanished. God's favor was also shown, as the brakes were fixed for free!
This is the provision of God, Who loves His children and blesses all that they have. When we live for Him, and put Him first in all things, everything else works together for good. He takes care of things in His perfect way, and grants us favor with mankind too.
I also believe this is the fruit of living out the true religion that James describes, to visit and care for widows (such as my grandma) in their distress (James 1:27). God pays us back when those whom we serve cannot (Luke 14:12-14).
I publicly offer my thanksgiving and love to Yahweh for the miracle He did for me, giving me back a working car. He is my Lord and God!
Discerning Yahweh
Yahweh has care for all things in our lives; everything we have we have received. According as we are stewards over His things, so He takes an interest in them.
As we yield all things to Him, as they rightfully are, He is happy to preserve and restore all that we possess.
Fully submitted to Him, living to love Him, it brings Him joy to give us not only Himself but everything besides!
As you read this site, you will hopefully come to know Yahweh more fully.
But all of this continuing knowledge is useless unless and until you come into union with Him. I use the word union because it is truly a marriage. It is that deep connection we all seek, for which we most often look in other people. However, the truth is that our hearts will only be fulfilled when we enter that union in fullness with the One Who made us.
This is the grace of God, that He has not stayed distant for us only to worship as Creator. But He has come unto us, even become one of us—in His Son, ChristJesus—in order to share an intimate union with us. He desires such closeness that it truly will envelope our entire life, transforming us into something new and wonderful.
You may have already entered this union with Him and only seek to know Him better through reading here. But if you have not, as you do read, let this Gospel sink into your heart as you read it now.
God loves you, and has cast your sins into the sea. He has sent His only Son as the Savior of the world—that includes you.
That Son, JesusChrist, was born as a man through a virgin who had given her life to Yahweh; He lived without sin, reflected the glory of His Father, God, in all His words and deeds, and was persecuted even unto death because of it.
His death upon a cross was the powerful explosion that separated you from your life of death. It remains for you, now, to enter into that death with Him. As you die to the one you are now, a person separated from God from your many sins, you will be born anew, with a nature predisposed to live rightly. This gift is free to you, with nothing you can do to earn it. It is the mercy of God to offer it to you, as He loves you so much! All you must do is receive it by trusting Him to have delivered you. Simply place your life in His hands and embrace the freedom that came through that death on the cross.
The Gospel is that Jesus did not remain dead, but rose again on the third day after His crucifixion! Death could not hold Him, as He was without sin. And so death will not be able to hold you, as you identify with Him fully through your trust in Him. Let go of yourself and confess Him as Lord of your life. The power of His death and resurrection will work in you all that your Creator has destined for you. You will truly enter a new life and experience that intimate union you have been seeking all of your life.
So ponder these words as you read here of this great God—Yahweh—and all that He has revealed to His creation. Let His Spirit testify to your heart that these words are true, that God is Love, and that He sent His Son so that you might receive the life that is unbound by time and space. As you feel that witness in your heart, simply believe and receive what He is offering to you, even now, and begin your new life as a child of God.
Please write to me and let me know when you take this step, as I will be your brother in Christ—we will be one in Him!

13This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. 14For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
