A servant of God on furlough told the following true story while visiting his home chapel 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
the drugs. But just as we were about to move into your camp, we saw
that 26 armed guards surrounded you. ” 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 servant
of God 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 some men in this chapel 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 servant of God wasn’t concerned with who they
were; he was too busy counting how many men he saw. There were 26 men.
This story is an incredible example of
how the Spirit of the Lord moves in mysterious ways. If you ever hear
such prodding, go along with it. As the above true story clearly
illustrates, ”with God all things are possible.” More
importantly, God hears and answers the prayers of the faithful! God
works in mysterious ways?
