God's 26 Guards
Here's a message 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 it
May change the way that you think about prayer
and also the way you pray. You will be b lessed 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 into 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 whom 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 feel such prodding to pray, go along with it, you don't know what it can mean to that person..
Nothing
is ever hurt by prayer except the gates of hell.
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.
After
you read this, please pass it on and
Give God thanks for the
beautiful gift of your faith,
For the powerful gift of prayer, and
for the many miracles
He
works in your own daily life... And then pass it on.
Who says God
does not move on the earth today?
I
asked the Lord to b less the Agents of Evoke. To guide
you and protect you as you go along your way. His love is always
with you, His promises are true, and when we give Him our cares you
know He will see us through. So when the road you're traveling on
seems difficult at best, Just remember I'm here praying, and God
will do the rest.
