Irene is a printer. His motorcycle, which he relied on for most of his errands, had developed a persistent problem that no mechanic seemed able to fix. Wherever he went, after parking and preparing to leave, he would notice the floor stained black with oil leaking from the engine. The embarrassment grew so heavy that one morning Irene looked at the motorcycle and declared with conviction: “Within the next 72 hours, I will replace you.”

He made this bold statement despite having no savings to cover such an expense. When he shared it with his wife and a colleague, their smiles revealed doubt—but also restraint. They had seen too many moments when Irene’s declarations of faith were unexpectedly fulfilled, so they chose silence rather than risk being proven wrong.

For 48 hours, nothing happened. On the third day, while Irene was at his office, a phone call interrupted his thoughts. It was from a company he had served more than a year earlier without receiving payment. At the time, the company had been struggling, and Irene had chosen not to press for what he was owed.

Now, the caller invited him to their office. Prepared to refuse any new order unless past debts were settled, Irene was surprised to be met with apologies for the delay and gratitude for his patience. They placed a new order and handed him an envelope containing $4,000 as partial payment. On his way back, Irene passed a motorcycle dealership and chose a sturdy, reliable model.

Imagine the astonishment of his wife and colleagues when, within the 72 hours he had declared, Irene rode up on a brand-new motorcycle.

Dear brothers and sisters, if there is one thing that moves the heart of God, it is faith—faith that leaves no room for doubt, faith that believes even when circumstances insist, “It is not possible.”
