The wrong number, or was it?
The church is called Almighty God Tabernacle.
On a Saturday night several weeks ago, the 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 guy was talking about. Then
the guy said, "It rang and rang, but I didn't answer." The
pastor remembered his miss-dial and apologized for then
disturbing him explained 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 do
not want me to do this, give me a sign now.' At that point
my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller ID, and it
said, . . . . . 'Almighty God'.
"I was just too afraid to answer!"
