- The Lord's
voice
- This will
give
you the chills........GOOD chills.
- A young man had
been to Wednesday night Bible Study.
- The Pastor had
shared about listening to God and obeying the Lord's voice.
- The young man
couldn't help but wonder, "Does God still speak to people?"
- After service
he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they
discussed
the message.
- Several
different ones talked about how God had led them in different ways.
- It was about
ten o'clock when the young man started driving home.
Sitting in his
car, he just began to pray, "God...If you still speak to
- people speak to
me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey."
- As he drove
down the main street of his town, he had the strangest thought to
stop
and buy a gallon of milk.
- He shook his
head and said out loud, "God is that you?" He didn't get a reply and
started on toward home.
- But again, the
thought, buy a gallon of milk.
- The young man
thought about Samuel and how he didn't recognize the voice of
God, and
how little Samuel ran to Eli.
- "Okay, God, in
case that is you, I will buy the milk." It didn't seem like too
hard a
test of obedience. He could always use the milk. He stopped and
purchased the gallon of milk and started off toward home.
- As he passed
Seventh Street, he again felt the urge, "Turn Down that
street."
- This is crazy
he thought and drove on past the intersection.
- Again, he felt
that he should turn down Seventh Street.
- At the next
intersection, he turned back and headed down Seventh.
- Half
jokingly,
he said out loud, "Okay, God, I will".
- He drove
several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop. He
pulled
over to the curb and looked around. He was in semi commercial
area of
town. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst of neighborhoods
either. The businesses were closed and most of the houses looked
dark
like the people were already in bed.
- Again, he
sensed something, "Go and give the milk to the people in the house
across the street." The young man looked at the house. It was
dark and
it looked like the people were either gone or they were already
asleep. He started to open the door and then sat back in the car
seat.
- "Lord, this is
insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are
going
to be mad and I will look stupid." Again, he felt like he should
go
and give the milk.
- Finally, he
opened the door, "Okay God, if this is you, I will go to the door and
I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy
person,
okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for
something but
if they don't answer right away, I am out of here."
- He walked
across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some noise
inside.
A man's voice yelled out, "Who is it? What do you want?" Then the
door
opened before the young man could get away.
- The man was
standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. He looked like he
- just got out of
bed. He had a strange look on his face and he didn't seem too
happy to
have some stranger standing on his doorstep. "What is it?"
- The young man
thrust out the gallon of milk, "Here, I brought this to you." The
man
took the milk and rushed down a hallway.
- Then from down
the hall came a woman carrying the milk toward the kitchen. The
man
was following her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man
had
tears streaming down his face.
- The man began
speaking and half crying, "We were just praying. We had some big
bills
this month and we ran out of money. We didn't have any milk for
our
baby. I was just praying and asking God to show me how to get
some
milk."
- His wife in the
kitchen yelled out, "I ask him to send an Angel with some. Are
you an
Angel?"
- The young man
reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on
him and
put in the man's hand. He turned and walked back toward his car
and
the tears were streaming down his face.
- He knew that
God still answers prayers.
- THIS IS A
SIMPLE TEST....? If you believe that God is alive and well, send
this
to at least ten people and the person that sent it to you!!!!!!!!
- This is so
true. Sometimes it's the simplest things that God asks us to do
that
cause us, if we are obedient to what He's asking, to be able to
hear.
His voice more clear than ever. Please listen, and obey! It will
bless
you (and the world). Phil 4:13
- This is an easy
test, you score 100 or zero. It's your choice.
- If you aren't
ashamed to do this, please follow the directions. Jesus
- said, "If you
are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."
- Not ashamed
Pass this on . . .
