Hi Everyone :) :) :)
I would like to share a beautiful inspirational story with each of you...Enjoy...

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 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 an said out loud, “God is that you?” He didn’t get a reply an started on toward home. But again the thought to stop and 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 of 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 a 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 of the houses 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 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 rant the bell. He could hear so 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 speaking loudly in Spanish.

Then from done 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 it 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.


God Bless Each of You Dearly!!! Much Love in Christ Jesus!!!

I so much love that story, it has happened to me so many times. I especially am disappointed when I don't follow the unction of The Spirit, and miss that blessing!
Thank you for reminding me of that story.

Today I have a unction to "Take my Position" (bow my knee, in prayer) For Our Nation

I have been reading "The Battle Belongs to the Lord" by Joyce Meyer, you may have noticed she is my favorite author, she so speaks to me!

This Book is showing me, What My Position is, what God expects me to do in every battle in my life. Joyce has picked out Bible stories about Jahoshaphat, Gideon, David, Elijah, how they stood in FEAR but their Reverential Fear of the Lord got them through.

I have never understood what Reverential Fear of the Lord really was before I read this book, It is that part of God that wants us to be as a little child, Totally Depending on Him to get us through our battles in Victory! My Dad and husband are both Marines, and I have asked them why did you go in to battle, how did you overcome the fear of dying. Both of them told me "I followed orders, totally knowing my Commanding Officer, would get not only me through alive, but my entire company, and the only way we would not have the Victory would be because I didn't follow orders.

Today I feel my orders are to "Take my Position (that is the position of prayer)" for my Country we are in a Battle for our very existence in the World as a Nation of free people. Our Tropes are in the World working to promote Democracy, while here at home, we are loosing it for them! As Christians, we have allowed the enemy in our positions of Leadership, and they are taking our rights, and our freedoms, every time they meet.

"The reason our enemy, Satan, hates and fears the Word of God so much is because he knows that the Word is a powerful weapon against him. It assures his defeat! That's why it is imperative that we learn to use the spiritual sword Ephesians 6:17 says is the Word.
A sword is a weapon with which one attacks an enemy. A sword in the sheath is of no value. It must be wielded, or taken from the sheath and appropriately used. The Word of God is the believer's sword, and we must learn to apply it accurately. We apply it by reading the Word daily, getting it down in cur heart, and speaking it out our mouth. The believer who does that is a major threat to Satan". Joyce Meyer
<span class="ev_code_RED">And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God. - Ephesians 6:17 AMP</span>

We Must Take "Our Position" NOW, to save our Nation and bring her through to Victory, over the Enemies from within. Thank You God! for in You we TRUST! in Jesus Name Amen.

Hi manofmusic,
You are sooooo welcome :) :) :)
Reaching out to others is a great way to come out of panic attacks!!! A person is no longer focusing "inwards" on their body symptoms!!!
They are focusing outwards!!! So, reaching out to others is a great way to help others and also to get one's self out of their own head :D

I pray you rest well tonight!!! God Bless You manofmusic!!!
