This made me cry - grab a tissue...
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."
