>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>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."
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>Not ashamed Pass this on
