Rats cut my internet wires

Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
— The Bible

One of the reasons I write supernatural stories is to inspire people to believe in possibilities—that anything can happen when we engage with God, who is supernatural. He cares about our problems, even the smallest ones.

We live in the natural realm, but there is also the reality of a spiritual realm—the unseen realm—where the supernatural can influence the natural.

With God, there is always a realm of possibilities and solutions available to us. But it takes bold, childlike faith to believe and take the shot.

This particular incident happened some time ago. Outside my apartment, in the lobby area, there is a section where the internet and telecom wiring is installed. The front is covered with wooden panels, but the top is left open.

Rats had entered that area, chewed through the internet wires, and the internet stopped working. The first time it happened, I contacted the internet company and they replaced the damaged wire.

But just a few days later, it happened again.

I spoke to the apartment caretaker about it, and he said it was difficult to prevent the rats from getting into that space. He suggested maybe setting rat traps.

At that point, I was getting frustrated because it was interfering with my work. I called the internet company again. When they opened the wooden panels, they found two large rats inside. The wires were thin and could easily be cut by their sharp teeth.

After the internet was fixed the second time, I prayed:

“Lord, I really need this to work. In Jesus’ name, I command the rats not to cut these internet wires again. I release the anointing of God over this area where the wiring is installed.”

As I prayed, I sensed a distinct and tangible anointing of God. Deep within, I felt that the issue had been taken care of.

From that day onward, the internet worked perfectly without interruption.

I was amazed. Days passed, then weeks, and nothing happened again. Naturally speaking, there was no real way to stop the rats from entering that area. The chances of the problem repeating itself were very high.

Jesus calmed the storm by speaking directly to it: “Peace, be still.” There is power in the name of Jesus, and everything must bow to His name when we speak in faith and take authority in Him.

If we only see Jesus as a carpenter’s son and Savior, we may only expect chairs, tables, and a ticket to heaven. But there is so much more available to us in relationship with Him.

Jesus said:

“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

To others, this kind of faith may seem foolish or irrational. But childlike faith—even as small as a mustard seed—can bring supernatural solutions to both big and small problems.

Engage God in the issues of your life. Talk to Him. Invite Him into everything.

Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
