God's 26 Guards
Here's a message (taken from my inbox) that will bring you chills.
Have you ever felt the urge to pray for someone and then just put it on a list and said ,
'I'll pray for them later?' Or has anyone ever called you and said, 'I need you to pray for me, I have this need?'
Read the following story that was sent to me and May it change the way that you may think about prayer and also the way you pray.
You will be blessed by this....
A missionary on furlough told this true story while visiting his home church in Michigan ..
'While serving at a small field hospital in Africa , every two weeks I traveled by bicycle through the jungle to a nearby city for supplies.
This was a journey of two days and required camping overnight at the halfway point.
On one of these journeys, I arrived in the city where I planned to collect money from a bank, purchase medicine, and supplies, and then begin my two-day journey back to the field hospital.
Upon arrival in the city, I observed two men fighting, one of whom had been seriously injured. I treated him for his injuries and at the same time talked to him about the Lord.
I then traveled two days, camping overnight, and arrived home without incident....
Two weeks later I repeated my journey. Upon arriving in the city, I was approached by the young man I had treated. He told me that he had known I carried money and medicines.
He said, 'Some friends and I followed you in to the jungle, knowing you would camp overnight. We planned to kill you and take your money and drugs. But just as we were about to move into your camp, we saw that you were surrounded by 26 armed guards.
At this, I laughed and said that I was certainly all alone in that jungle campsite.
The young man pressed the point, however, and said, 'No, sir, I was not the only person to see the guards, my friends also saw them, and we all counted them. It was because of those guards that we were afraid and left you alone.'
At this point in the sermon, one of the men in the congregation jumped to his feet and Interrupted the missionary and asked if he could tell him the exact day this happened.
The missionary told the congregation the date, and the man who interrupted told him this story:
'On the night of your incident in Africa , it was morning here and I was preparing to go play
golf. I was about to putt when I felt the urge to pray for you. In fact, the urging of the Lord was so strong, I called men in this church to meet with me here in the sanctuary to pray for you. Would all of those men who met with me on that day stand up?' The men who had met together to pray that day stood up. The missionary wasn't concerned with who they were, he was too busy counting how many men he saw. There were 26
This story is an incredible example of how The Spirit of the Lord moves in behalf of those who love Him. If you ever hear such prodding, go along with it. Nothing is ever hurt by prayer except the gates of hell. I encourage you to forward this to as many people as you know. If we all take it to heart, we can turn this world toward God once again.
As the above true story clearly illustrates, 'With God all things are possible'.
More importantly, how God hears and answers the prayers of the faithful.

Thursday, July 17, 2008 - Eggs still hatching...Posted by Kris |
Well, we now have 10 new chicks and 4 baby ducks...Mama hen is still setting...bless her heart she is such a good little hen. After an egg hatches I leave the chick with her 24 hours and then remove it and put it with the others under a light...I suppose she is determined to hatch every egg...Our Duck hen is still setting but her eggs are getting very close to hatching...when the light is a certain way you can see the duck inside the egg...how cool is that!?! We really need the new chicks so next spring we have more layers...I am hoping to get away from having to buy chicks and just replace my own as needed...I will post pics later right now we are on our way out...Hope you day has been blessed so far!

Thursday, July 17, 2008 - Just another day?Posted by Kitty |
Some things are getting done around the homestead. First off, yesterday I had to appear in court for the Interdiction of my mom. All went well and it's almost all taken care of. At first the lawyer said it would be this pertition, that court appearance, this appeal, that judge chambers meeting. I mean I thought it was going to be a long drawn out thing, but apparently I misunderstood what the lawyer was telling me, and all it took was one appearance and a few questions. I still have a few pieces of papers to sign and a bit of info to gather, but for the most part, it's complete. Thank God for that, it didn't stress me out or anything, but I did want it over with. Now I don't have to worry about mom's needs being met, I have the autority to do it myself. So thats done!
Today is someone's birthday in our home, coughmecough. As I was saying my prayers this morning, at first the only thing I could think to say was, "thank you God for letting me wake up to another day and letting me make it this far, " LOL. Did I ask to see another 46 years, NO, I look at it like this, each day is a gift at this age, I'll just be happy to wake up next week. LOL. Not that I'm soooo old, although I do feel 90 some days.
My youngest gave me the beautiful bouquet of roses that I shared with you all a couple of days ago. My daughter gave me a fabulous purse that she picked up on her vacation to Tenn last month, and my eldest son is taking me out to eat at Chilis tonight. I have never been there, I really don't eat out much at all. There are several new places in town that I have never tried. So with all this love be thrown my way, I'm feeling good today. Now if I could just get someone in to do the laundry and cooking, a perfect day would be had.
Well I do hope everyone is having a good morning, enjoy your July heat. |
