This will give you
the chills.........
GOOD chills.
A young
man had been to Wednesday Night Bible
Study.
T he 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 a 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 some thing, 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.
