In small group last week, we talked about how the Lord will speak to us in the night and seal it in our minds if we have a pure heart. Well, last night was one of those nights!! I had a very vivid dream that reminded me of something my mom would have done, but then I realized it is something Jesus already did for us!
"The Story of the Immature Real Estate Agent"
A young and immature real estate agent was talking to another real estate agent about her commissions. She was bragging because she was such a great real estate agent, she got paid no matter what. The girl explained she was on a real estate team with her mom and they worked together.
The other real estate agent said, "But, that doesn't make sense. If the closing falls through no one gets paid. The buyer even loses their deposit. That is just how real estate deals work."
The immature real estate agent replied, "Well, I am just so good, I get paid either way. I work with my mom and even she says, 'I've got it covered.'"
"Wait, your mom says that 'she has it covered'?! Don't you see? That means she is the one actually paying your commissions when the deals fall through!!! You are 'getting paid no matter what' because your mom is paying your salary out of her own pocket when the deals fall through, not because you are some amazing real estate agent!!! You silly real estate agent, you shouldn't be paid for a job you didn't finish or complete. Your mom is the one who is so incredible and generous. She is taking that burden of losing the commission and paying you."
The immature real estate agent immediately felt remorse for being so proud and then became very humble and grateful for the strong love of her mom.
The moral of the story is:
This parallels exactly how the Lord loves us and why he sent Jesus to earth to die for our sins. He sent Him, even though we are proud, sinful and don't deserve to have our debt paid so we can have a relationship with God. Jesus died for EVERYONE'S sins. He died a tragic, gruesome, awful, painful death so we could have life with the Lord and have life abundantly!! As it is with the real estate agent, some people don't even know it or even realize the gift the Lord has given us, so please share this parable so other people can learn of God's love.
“so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.”
Hebrews 9:28 NIV
Following your dreams is not for the faint of heart. Life is not meant to be easy and struggles make us appreciate our blessings even more. No matter what happens... God is still God. Follow me on Instagram @JenBBehnke

Miracle of a food allergy being healed
With permission from Kelly Cavin, I share this incredible story of healing from our Lord, Jesus Christ. This is a true story of a miracle!!
“I stopped and asked, “Holy spirit can Seth have a donut?” and I immediately heard “yes” and it brought me to tears. We went and bought a dozen for the family that night and Seth had 2 donuts and 1 the next day and has continued to eat food he usually wouldn’t and has had no reaction at all and as well no more pills or breathing treatments.”
We are celebrating the healing of a 7 year old boy who has dealt with food allergies since he was 18 months old. Thank You, Jesus!! God loves for His children to be free from all sickness! Be encouraged today that healing is possible in any situation!
Our 7 year old son Seth has dealt with food allergies since about 18 months old when we he had a lung collapse b/c of an allergic reaction. Since that point we have had to be very cautious of what we feed him. He dealt with leaky gut which is when you can't digest food and it eats away the lining of your stomach, in turn, causes pain, vomiting and inflammation in his lungs and not being able to breath properly. He has been on an herbal regimen for a long time taking between 5-15 pills a day to help digest foods. 2 sundays ago Wes called for anyone who needed prayer for allergies to come up. We responded and took Seth and Wes prayed healing over his stomach. The next day, mid afternoon I felt the holy spirit tell me to pray for my children so I stopped and did so. In the midst of praying I started thinking of Krispy Kreme and tried to stop and focus on my prayers although i could not stop thinking of it and then it hit me, Seth gets sick every time he eats a donut. I stopped and asked, "Holy spirit can Seth have a donut?" and I immediately heard "yes" and it brought me to tears. We went and bought a dozen for the family that night and Seth had 2 donuts and 1 the next day and has continued to eat food he usually wouldn't and has had no reaction at all and as well no more pills or breathing treatments. We are so thankful and in awe at God's goodness and are excited to watch Seth walk in victory.
