There's a Crack in Your Armor Perry Stone
suffering minister? There is often great favor and answers to prayer on the mission field, as these precious believers have no one to turn to except God, and without miracles and supernatural answers to prayer then the impossibilities would remain impossible. I know of an amazing account in Communist China where a minister was arrested and placed in a large refrigerator cooler, left there to die in a short time. In the cooler was also a Communist soldier who had died, his corpse laid there in the cold storage until funeral preparations could be made. The door was shut and locked. In the cooler the Christian began to pray and intercede. Three hours later there was a banging on the door, but it was not the voice of the Christian. The Communist soldier had been raised from the dead, and when the cooler was opened, great fear fell upon the other soldiers, to say the least. These miracles are truly the shield of favor. Favor is also manifested in the area of ministry travel and business. Years ago one of my coworkers, Robbie James, had taken a small group to India for a mission trip. These trips are very busy, with hours of traveling in vans and numerous meetings throughout the day. By the end of the trip the ministers are quite weary, and the journey home is long and the plane flight usually uncomfortable, to say the least. The Indian pastor prayed that God would favor the group by causing the airlines to upgrade them to business class for their return to America from India where they had been ministering. Arriving at the airport, each upgrade was two thousand dollars, which not only did they not have, but also they would not have paid for if they did have it, as money to missionaries is too precious
