I don't know if this is true or not, but it makes for a great story!
The Caller
ID
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 few 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!!
