Now That was God, P. O. Box 218, Oregon, WI (2026)

05/27/2026

Have you ever considered tithing, which is giving 10% of your income to God? Has God then blessed you for your faithfulness? Here is Nancy’s story, from Wisconsin.

Scripture tells us: You shall not tempt the Lord your God. You should not test God. However, the Lord asked the Israelites to put Him to the test in only one area: tithing. By giving to Him, they could test whether He would fulfill His promise to bless them. Today’s God story is an example of tithing and the blessing that followed. Tithing, however, is not a command for New Testament followers. The new command is to be a cheerful giver, giving what you have decided in your heart to give.

✨ A "NOW THAT WAS GOD" STORY: A Great Light ✨
Have you ever tried shifting from a “me first” mindset to a “God first” mindset? For Teresa from Texas, it took hitting rock bottom for the light to finally switch on.
Here is her powerful story:
"There is a light in my life that I never even knew was off, until it came on. Prison was my opportunity to get still enough, and undistracted enough, to learn what value really is, and where it belongs. God is first! I am second! Because of this, I will never be the same. Hallelujah!"
Today, Teresa is thriving and better than she has ever been. She has found her true identity, a clear mind, and immense satisfaction in applying biblical truth to her daily life. It’s a completely transformed life! 🙌
Having the light of the Holy Spirit turn on is a sudden, life-changing experience. You become a new person in Christ and never want to go back to the old, unfulfilled past. This is the light that came into the world, the light Teresa experienced, and the light you can experience, too.

📖 Words of Light for Your Day:
John 8:12 — "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."
Isaiah 60:1 — "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you."

🚨 Have you ever been faced with a life-and-death situation, and all you could do was pray? 🚨
Meet Sharlon William, a 59-year-old mother from Texas. She is sharing a miraculous story that will boost your faith today! 👇🏽
When Sharlon’s beautiful youngest daughter was just 2 ½ months old, she became deathly ill and had to be med-flighted to Children’s Medical Center. The devastating diagnosis: spinal meningitis.
The doctor looked at Sharlon and delivered the news no mother ever wants to hear: Her baby girl would not live through the night.
But Sharlon knew where to turn. She went straight to the hospital chapel. She cried out, she begged God for mercy, and she prayed for her baby girl to live, despite what the doctors said.
At first, they didn’t see any change. But she made it through the night. Then, the healing began. She got better! 🙌🏾 That was GOD answering a desperate mother's prayer!
HALLELUJAH! Today, that baby girl who was given only hours to live is 39 YEARS OLD! Praise God! 🎉
Sharlon prayed because it was all she knew to do. We serve a merciful God who hears our prayers and delivers us. All glory to God!

👑 Crown of Thorns: Regina’s Story
Do you know anyone who was abused as a child, eventually fell into severe addiction, and felt like their life was completely shattered? This is Regina’s story, all the way from Texas.
"My name is Regina. I can remember some of my younger days being happy—at home with momma and daddy, my brother, and my sister. I was daddy’s little girl. But my mom and dad divorced when I was young, and it hurt deeply not to have my father around. Once my dad left, my life of misery began.
My mom worked the second shift, and my auntie watched us, but she paid us no attention. That’s when my older cousin started coming by. He pretended he was there to see my brother, but instead, he began abusing me. I was only 10 years old. That went on for years until my mom finally switched to the first shift. I held everything in. My life went numb.
Eventually, I started looking for love in all the wrong places. At 17, I had my first child, thinking a baby would fill the void in my life. My baby was my pride and joy, but the pain was still there. I was introduced to drugs at an early age. I managed to shake loose of w**d and powder, but once I smoked from a glass pipe, the addiction took over entirely. I spent every chance and every dollar I had on it.
I tried to end my life three times, but God wasn’t ready for me yet.
In 2013, I ended up in prison for robbery and burglary, and tragically, a lady I cared for deeply died because of my addiction. When I first arrived at the prison, I looked up at the barbed wire... and I saw a crown of thorns. I felt this was a sign from God.
Coming to prison saved me. God gave me the strength to find Him, to find myself, and showed me how to help others. My world has been completely changed, all because of the Lord. Now, I seek Him, and He leads my path. My sentence is over, and my new life has begun."
💡 The Message for Us All: Don’t give up on those who are drowning in their addictions. Be a light to them, encourage them, and lead them to Christ. You can shine a light, but only Jesus can pull them out of the darkness.
📖 Verses of Strength:
2 Corinthians 4:7-9 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
Psalm 54:4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.
Psalm 34:18 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Psalm 9:9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

Have you ever felt so miserable that you literally groaned when you woke up just because you were still alive? 😔
Here is another Now That Was God story. Meet Euella, from Texas.
For 41 years, Euella believed the lies of the enemy. She felt completely lost, angry at the world, and trapped in an addiction that no longer offered any relief.
In the midst of that misery, a terrible mistake landed her in prison, facing a sentence of life without parole.
But in her absolute darkest hour, Euella cried out to God for mercy and forgiveness. She surrendered her situation completely to Him—and God immediately went to work.
Miracle #1: Instead of life without parole, she was granted a 20-year sentence. Praise God! 🙌
Miracle #2: While incarcerated, Euella tested positive for Hepatitis C. She was told repeatedly by the prison that she would not be treated. But God had a different plan. Out of nowhere, a specialist fast-tracked her care. Within days, she received her first treatment. Just weeks later, her enzyme levels plummeted from 80 down to 13. Her body was rapidly healing!
Today, Euella might physically be in prison, but she is freer than she has ever been. She is sober-minded, filled with the Holy Spirit, and learning to live closely with God.
So many people are exactly where Euella was—battling addiction, facing insurmountable health issues, or completely drained of hope. But no situation is too far gone for Jesus Christ.
📖 Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
📖 Isaiah 40:31 Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

🕊️ From Unimaginable Pain to Ultimate Peace: A "Now That Was God" Story 🕊️
How do you keep going when it feels like the world has been against you since day one? This is Kathryn’s story, and it is a breathtaking testament to God’s preserving grace and the power of His presence. 👇
Kathryn grew up in a chaotic, abusive home. From just four months old, she experienced things no child ever should. She became the scapegoat for her family, bearing the heavy weight of everyone else's struggles.
As she entered adulthood, the heartbreak only continued. Her journey from 18 onwards was filled with trauma—enduring abusive relationships, witnessing death, suffering physical beatings, losing her children, and facing false accusations.
It is the kind of pain that would leave anyone bitter, cynical, or unforgiving. But God had a different ending for Kathryn’s story. He was with her through it all, keeping her heart soft and her spirit fighting. Then, in her darkest season, she had a life-changing encounter:
"God came to me one night and put His hand on my shoulder. When I woke up, I sensed Him telling me, ‘I’ve got your back… I am here with you.’ Now, knowing that God is with me, I have surrendered my life, my dreams, my goals, my family, and friends to Him, my blessed Savior."
What a beautiful reminder that no matter how deep the trauma or how fierce the storm, the Lord is standing right beside us, holding us together!
📖 Verses for Encouragement:
2 Timothy 1:12 - "...For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." (The verse Kathryn powerfully declares over her life!)
Psalm 34:18 - "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Isaiah 41:10 - "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Genesis 50:20 - "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."

🗣️ Let's encourage Kathryn in the comments: Drop a ❤️ or a word of encouragement if you are thankful for a God who says, "I've got your back!" 👇

🙏 Unanswered Prayers? A "Now That Was God" Story 🙏
Have you ever prayed for something—your biggest prayer of all—and felt like God just wasn't answering? This is Jennifer’s story from Texas, and it is a beautiful reminder of how God works behind the scenes. 👇
Jennifer is currently in prison, and her biggest prayer was for God to open the doors so she could go home to her family. Her release date had come and gone, and she was left wondering why she was still there. But then, God's perfect timing became clear. Here is what Jennifer shared:
"I realized, as I prayed to be put into a computer class, that God kept me here to take this class so I could learn medical billing and coding before I go home. I also realized, with the death of my husband earlier this month, that God showed me a better way to handle grief. At home, I would have drank and drank. By keeping me here a little longer, He showed me to rely on Him to get through grief. I knew there was a reason for not going home. Thank you, Father, for teaching me these reasons and getting me in school.
"God had a different, better plan for Jennifer! He guided her through a heartbreaking loss, protecting her from the temptation of alcohol while providing her with the exact job training she needs for a fresh start. He was paving a safe path for her all along.
✨We need to trust in God, no matter how difficult our circumstances seem. His ways are always higher! Watch and see what He will do when you pray for spiritual understanding.📖
Verses for Encouragement:
Isaiah 55:8-9 - For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
Proverbs 20:24 - How then can a man understand his own way?
Isaiah 30:18 - The LORD longs to be gracious to you... Blessed are all who wait for Him!
1 Chronicles 16:11 - Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually!
Psalm 139:1-3, 5-6 - O Lord, you have searched me and known me!... Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.
Psalm 91:14 - Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name.
Philippians 4:19 - And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

God said NO. 🙏✨

Have your prayers to God ever been answered with a "no"? Has enough time passed that you now realize that this "no" from God was because He had better things in mind for you?

Here is Liz’s story from Texas:

"I had a boyfriend, a high school sweetheart. We were engaged for 2 years. A few months after he turned 18, we broke up. I prayed night and day, fasting, not eating, just crying for a month. My mom almost took me to the mental hospital. I finally realized God’s answer was NO, and that Mike was not meant for me.

About 10 years later, I ran into his mother. She apologized to me for how everything happened. She said, 'I think Mike would have been better off in life if he had married you.' She told me how he beats his wife and talks bad to her. If he had done this to me, I would not have stayed around.

God’s “no” was my 2 Corinthians 1:20. All of God’s promises are YES in Christ Jesus. And His protection is always covering me." 🛡️❤️

Remember that when God says no, there is a reason, a plan, and an outcome. Be glad and rejoice because He never ignores us, or leaves us, or fails us. He could have something greater in store for us than we could ever imagine or comprehend! 🙌

📖 Scriptures to remember when you are waiting on God:

🕊️ 2 Corinthians 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “YES” in Christ. And so through Him, the “AMEN” is spoken by us to the glory of God.

🌱 Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.

⏳ Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord.

🙏 Psalm 37:5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.

🛡️ Psalm 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

❤️ Psalm 40:11 Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord; may Your love and faithfulness always protect me.

🛤️ Proverbs 2:8 For He guards the course of the just and protects the way of His faithful ones.

Nancy’s Lesson in Humility ✨
Have you ever had a moment where you felt a little too prideful... and God stepped in to remind you that being humble is better? Here is a highly relatable story from Nancy in Wisconsin. 👇
👠 I remember buying these fancy new shoes with a 2-inch heel. I wasn't used to wearing heels, but these shoes were incredibly comfortable and stylish. I decided to wear them to church that Sunday.
I remember walking down the sidewalk toward the side door of the church. The sidewalk was long and sloped downward. As I walked, I felt like I had a real swag to my step—an overly confident, almost arrogant strut, as if the heels made me walk differently.
📉 Because I wasn't used to the heels and the hill was sloping downhill, I started walking faster and faster. Pretty soon I was running. I couldn’t stop! It was as if I was in my body but had absolutely no control over it. I heard my husband from behind yelling, “What are you doing?!” I couldn’t even answer.
As I reached the bottom of the slope, I wiped out. I remember one shoe literally flying off into the grass! 👟💨 A couple of guys from the church rushed over to help me up and asked if I was okay. My immediate, embarrassed answer was, “Yes.” 🫣
As I finally sat down in church, a very specific Bible verse immediately came to my mind: "Pride goeth before a fall." I quietly confessed to God right then and there that I had been a bit prideful. Lesson learned!
We’ve all had our own moments when we felt prideful, haven't we? If not by how we look, then by our achievements or our possessions. Pride boasts in self and not in God; in what we have achieved and not what God has achieved. We take the credit, thinking it is something we have done on our own, and we forget to give God the glory for what He has done in us and through us.
📖 Verses to reflect on today:
Proverbs 16:18 — Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit goes before a fall.
James 4:6, 10 — God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Proverbs 16:5 — Everyone that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished.
Psalm 115:1 — Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

Dawne’s Now That was God story:
Dawne: I want to share a very special "God story" with you all today—the story of how my amazing husband, Paul, came into my life! ❤️🙏
I had been fasting and praying when I clearly heard God tell me to take all my personal ads down from the penpal websites I was on. It was a leap of faith, but I decided to be obedient and trust Him completely.
As soon as I took them all down... I received Paul’s first letter! ✉️
It turns out, he had looked at every single ad posted on one of the websites, narrowed it down to three, and decided to write to me. I am the ONLY one he ever reached out to! He ended up flying all the way from Connecticut to Texas just to meet me in person. We had instant chemistry, got married, and he moved down here to Texas to build our life together! ✈️💍🤠
God orchestrated all of this. He is so incredibly faithful and He completely answered my prayer! Praise the Lord! 🙌✨
Lamentations 3:25: "The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him."
