THIS WILL GIVE YOU CHILLS.....(GOOD CHILLS) just remember,
"Our God is an Awesome God!"
READ This All the Way, and send it back please!
A young man had been to Wed. 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 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 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, speaking
loudly in Spanish. 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! send it back please!
