4. 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 may it change the way
that you may think about prayer, and also the way you pray. You will be
blessed by this....
5. 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....
6. 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..
7. 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:
8. '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.
9. 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. 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'.
10. 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?
Pass this on to those whom you want God to bless. I Can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 In God we trust, Grace & peace, be un
to you!
