It was the end of my senior year in high school. My parents and I were believing together to have my tuition, room and board, and books paid for not only for my freshman year, but for my four years in college. I had heard of a believer who had not only received financial aid to pay for her tuition, room and board, and books, but had received so much financial aid throughout her four years in college that the university issued her a refund when she graduated. When I heard what God had done for her, I knew God could do the same for me! After all, God is not a respecter of persons. I decided that I was going to believe for God to provide the same for me. With the help and support of my parents, I applied to any scholarship we found that I was eligible for. I was convinced that I was doing my part so God would certainly do His part.
As the weeks passed, I was faced with the doubts of my classmates, teachers, and even guidance counselor. When they heard my confession that I was going to get my full tuition paid along with room and board and books, they said it was impossible and that I would need to get student loans. However, I refused to yield in my confession. God can do what seems impossible in the five senses, and I knew He could help me go to college debt-free.
The days seemed to fly by, and before we knew it, the deadline to pay my tuition was fast approaching. I had received several scholarships and grants that covered the room and board, books, and part of my tuition, but not the full amount I needed. Even though we were tempted to be concerned, we held fast to claiming that God would meet all of my needs. My parents reminded me that I had abundantly shared throughout my life whether from gifts I received or from working during the summers and school year. I had applied the prosperity principle of giving, and now was my time to prove God at His Word, and expect Him to pour out the blessings!
We expected to receive what we believed for, so it came as no surprise when everything we believed for came to pass. By the end of my senior year of college, God had provided me with an abundance of financial aid. My tuition, room and board, and books were covered during my four years in college, and I graduated with money left over just like I believed for! With the refund I received from the university, I had more than enough funds to participate in our ministry’s outreach program after graduation!
I am so thankful for the Word that I was taught growing up in this ministry. It has equipped me to believe and claim God’s promises in my life. I often recall this example of how applying the principles of God’s Word I have been taught always works. If God could provide the financial aid for college above and beyond anything I could ask, what can’t He do? As I believe His Word, He will continue to supply my every need.
