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,
repost. 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.

stuborn to listin ,he is the voice in your head that makes us lover and
not haters, let your good voice always shine through!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The writer of this passage has deleted her profile,I was wordering
myself why she would be on a site like this.

She just de-activated she comes on from time to time,,
to post and what not,,,.

One time me and a friend of mine
were canoeing down a river.

We were out of water and it
was hot, in the 90s.

Then we saw an eagle perched
on the branch of a tree.

It was a huge male and must
have had a wingspread of 6
feet or so.

Every time we turned a bend
in the river we saw the eagle.
It would spread it's beautiful
wings and take off.

It was almost like it was
waiting for us.

I knew this woman once who
was part Native American.
She told me that every time
you see an eagle, it's a blessing
from God.

I hope someone here sees an
eagle real soon.

Beautiful story,,,, I also believe it to be true..
Thanks for Sharing

That's how my God works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen!

That just makes u continue to walk on faith. that was really
nice.
