The Call

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!!
