The Davies Story

Many of us know the life and ministry of Leonard Ravenhill. He was the one God used powerfully in the revival ministry in many parts of the world in the last century. In one of his books, he mentioned an incident that took in the home of a missionary by name Ivor Davies, Auckland, New Zealand. Davies was asked by his landowner to vacate his rented house within a month.

Keeping His Word
Despite their best efforts to find another house, they could not find any suitable one within the period of 30 days. However, he kept his words to shift the house within one month. On the last day, he called the movers and packers to load his belongings. As the packers were loading, the driver of the van asked Davies where the load was going.

Anxiety Put to Test
Davies did not know what to say, but the men continued to load the van. Before the loading exercise was about to be completed, a person in the neighbourhood offered them a house for immediate use.
A Mustard faith, while facing insurmountable problems could move the mountains and remove the mulberry trees.

I remember a small Sunday School song which I learned many years ago:

Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees
And looks to God alone;
Laughs at impossibilities
And cries: It shall be done!
And cries: It shall be done!
And cries: It shall be done!
Laughs at impossibilities
And cries: It shall be done!
Looks to God alone!
