GOD answered prayers

This will give you the chills.......
> GOOD chills.
>
>
> A young man had been to Wednesday Night Bible
> Study.
>
>
>
> T he Pastor had shared about listening to God and
> obeying the Lord's voice
>
>
>
> The young man couldn't help but wonder, 'Does God
> still speak to people?'
>
>
>
> After service, he went out with some friends for
> coffee and pie and they discussed the message.
> Several different ones talked about how God had led
> them in different ways.
>
>
>
> It was about ten o'clock when the young man started
> driving home. Sitting in his car, he just began to
> pray, 'God...If you still speak t o people, speak to
> me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey.'
>
>
>
> As he drove down the main street of his town, he had
> the strangest thought to stop and buy a gallon of
> milk.
>
> He shook his head and said out loud, 'God is that
> you?' He didn't get a reply and started on toward
> home.
>
> But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk.
>
>
>
> The young man thought about Samuel and how he didn't
> recognize the voice of God, and how little Samuel
> ran to Eli.
>
>
> 'Okay, God, in case that is you, I will buy the
> milk.' It didn't seem like too hard a test of
> obedience. He could always use the milk. He stopped
> and purchased the gallon of milk and started off
> toward home.
>
>
> As he passed Seventh Street, he again felt the urge,
> 'Turn Down that street.'
>
>
>
> This is crazy he thought, and drove on past the
> intersection.
>
>
>
> Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh
> Street.
>
>
>
> At the next inters ection, he turned back and headed
> down Seventh.
>
>
>
> Half jokingly, he said out loud,
>
>
>
> 'Okay, God, I will.'
>
>
>
>
> He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like
> he should stop He pulled over to the curb and looked
> around. He was in a semi- commercial area of town.
> It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst of
> neighborhoods either.
> The businesses were closed and most of the houses
> looked dark like the people were already in bed.
>
>
> Again, he sensed something, 'Go and give t he milk
> to the people in the house across the street.' The
> young man looked at the house. It was dark and it
> looked like the people were either gone or they were
> already asleep. He started to open the door and then
> sat back in the car seat.
>
>
> 'Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and
> if I wake them up, they are going
> to be mad and I will look stupid.' Again, he felt
> like he should go and give the milk.
>
>
> Finally, he opened the door, 'Okay God, if this is
> you, I will go to the door and I will give them the
> milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person,
> okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count
> for some thing, but if they don't answer right away,
> I am out of here.'
>
>
> He walked across the street and rang the bell. He
> could hear some noise inside. A man's voice yelled
> out, 'Who is it? What do you want?' Then the door
> opened before the young man could get away.
>
>
> The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt.
> H e looked like he just got out of bed. He had a
> strange look on his face and he didn't seem too
> happy to have some stranger standing on his
> doorstep. 'What is it?'
>
>
> The young man thrust out the gallon of milk, 'Here,
> I brought this to you.' The man took the milk and
> rushed down a hallway.
>
>
> Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the
> milk toward the kitchen. The man was following her
> holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man had
> tears streaming down his face.
>
>
> The man began speaking and half crying, 'We were
> just praying. We had
> some big bills this month and we ran out of money.
> We didn't have any milk for our baby. I was just
> praying and asking God to show me how to get some
> milk.'
>
>
> His wife in the kitchen yelled out, 'I ask him to
> send an Angel with some. Are you an Angel?'
>
>
> The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out
> all the money he had on him and put in the man's
> hand. He turned and walked back toward his car and
> the tears were streaming down his face.
> He knew that God still answers prayers.
