The Lord’s Voice
Unknown Author
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
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
This is crazy he
thought and drove on past the intersection.
Again, he felt that he
should turn down
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
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 . . . only if you mean it. Yes, I do Love God.

I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own."
