GOD, are you there?
Isn't it amazing how God works in our lives! On a
Saturday night
several
weeks ago, this pastor was working late, and decided
to call his wife
before
he left for home. It was about 10:00 PM, but his wife
didn't answer the
phone. The pastor let it ring many times. He thought
it was odd that
she
didn't answer, but decided to wrap up a things and try
again in a few
minutes. When he tried again she answered right away.
He asked her why
she
hadn't answered before, and she said that it hadn't
rung at their
house. They
brushed it off as a fluke and went on their merry
ways.
The following Monday, the pastor received a call at
the church
office,
which
was the phone that he'd used that Saturday night.
The man that he
spoke
with
wanted to know why he'd called on Saturday night.
The pastor couldn't
figure
out what the man was talking about. Then the man
said, "It rang and
rang,
but I didn't answer." The pastor remembered the mishap
and apologized
for
disturbing him, explaining that he'd intended to call
his wife.
The man said, "That's OK. Let me tell you my story.
You see, I was
planning
to commit suicide on Saturday night, but before I
did, I prayed, 'God
if
you're there, and you don't want me to do this, give
me a sign now.' At
that
point my
phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID,
and it said,
'Almighty
God'. I was afraid to answer!"
The reason why it showed on the man's caller ID that
the call came
from
"Almighty God" is because the church that the pastor
attends is called
Almighty God Tabernacle!!
