Divine Connections

I’m sure you’ve heard of Billy Graham. I just want to share something that I pray gives you hope, encouragement and peace where maybe you’re not feeling all of those things today.

Back in 1949, Billy Graham was traveling the country, holding meetings in large auditoriums. He was having success, but he wasn't nationally known at the time.

That summer, he conducted a meeting in Los Angeles in a big tent. A gentleman showed up by the name of William Randolph Hearst. Mr. Hearst owned newspapers all across the country. He was so touched that night that he sent a message to all of his publishers to write favorable articles about Billy Graham.

The next week, the whole country was talking about this young minister. He came to national prominence practically overnight because of the influence of one man. Billy Graham didn’t ask for it. He didn’t act differently because he knew the man would be there. He was just doing what God led him to do, and God blessed it.

It could have taken Billy Graham his whole lifetime to gain that kind of respect and credibility, but God used ONE man to show him favor and it opened doors that took Billy Graham to a new level. And the good news is that God has set you up the same way.

He has divine connections lined up for you that will open doors that you couldn’t open on your own. People who will show you favor even though you didn't ask. They will use their influence to make you look good. They're ordained by God to accelerate His plan for your life.

Friend, rest assured that the right people are already in your future. It's just a matter of time before they show up. If you will focus on God and commit to being the best you know how to be you will experience this type of accelerated, unsolicited favor. When you do everything you can do, God will show up to do the parts that you can’t.
