Rep Power: 9 Dusty will become famous soon enough
Default A Good Read.

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 the phone 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!!

WOW!!! That is amazing. God is so good. I just got this book for my birthday-When God Winks at You.

That was definitely a 'Godwink'!!

Thanks for sharing!

This is actually one of those stories that snopes.com says is fake...... but I actually looked it up only because I heard this story years and years and years ago, only without the "Almighty God Tabernacle" part at the end. When I first heard this story is was not on-line and I am pretty sure that it was earlier than 2001 (snopes says it has been circling the internet since 2001).

I was thinking that it may have been a true story at one point in time, but just like in the game of telephone, it probably became altered and embellished upon over the years.
