By 1936, A.A Allen strongly sensed God’s calling to an evangelistic ministry, but he opted for a more stable life and began pastoring a Church for the Assemblies of God. By the fall of 1949, Allen began to hear stories of miracles taking place at some evangelistic meetings.
Hungry to see similar display of God’s power in his own ministry, he attended an Oral Roberts tent revival in Dallas, Texas. While there Allen felt God tugging on his heart to fulfill the original call given to him. Allen was so moved that he rededicated himself to God and upon returning home, he resigned the pastorate and began holding evangelistic meetings.
Soon, Allen began to see awe-inspiring miracles take place at his Revival Tent meetings. But as Allen’s reputation and fame grew, so did the oppositions against him. His enemies slandered him so relentlessly that Allen considered himself the most persecuted preacher in the world.
However he chose to ignore his detractors and press forward. In the midst of the persecutions his ministry began experiencing amazing expansion.
His preaching was followed by unprecedented forms of miracles such as creating of new organs in people’s bodies. Also at this time, Allen launched the Miracle Revival Fellowship, which licensed over 500 ministers and supported missions. He was given 1,250 acres of land, called “Miracle Valley” and he built a four thousand seat church auditorium. Despite his enemy’s attempts to stop him, Allen’s ministry only continued to grow and flourish exceedingly until he became established as one of the greatest preachers of his generation.
Any time you face tough opposotions, always have the perspective that God can bless you in the valley. God’s grace can turn your battlefield into your blessing field. What should have defeated you would only end up increasing you. As long as you are walking in line with God, the stumbling stones on your path will be converted to stepping stones to your greater destiny. People may attack you, but do not let their negative actions determine the outcome of your life.
Even when you face unfair situations, trust that God is working it all together for your good. Anytime you encounter a valley, it could be indication that you are headed to your mountaintop. Though you may sometimes walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you will come out better and stronger. Ahead of you, God has prepared a table for you in the presence of your enemies. Your cup is about to run over with blessings and you shall be anointed with fresh oil!
At the low points of life, is when the grace of God reaches down to pull us up to unmerited heights. His grace is the inexhaustible supply of His goodness, which helps us to triumph over our enemies. In this season, as you stay in faith and keep praising God, surely what was meant to stop you will only propel you forward. The adversity will turn to your advantage. Instead of breaking down, you will break forth to your highest victories and unleash your greatest potentials.
PRAYER:
Lord, please help me to always fix my eyes on the promises in Your Word and not on the problems around me. I bless and praise You for I know that even right now, Your grace is turning everything around for my good in Jesus’ Name.
