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 t o 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 inters ection, 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 t he 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 b e 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. H e
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.
I f 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.
