The empty chair.....
A man's daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with her father. When the minister arrived, he found the man lying in bed with his head propped up on two pillows. An empty chair sat beside his bed
The minister assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit.
"I guess you were expecting me," he said.....
"No, who are you?" said the father.
"I'm the new minister at your church," he replied.
"When I saw the empty chair, I figured you knew I was going to show up."
"Oh yeah, the chair," said the bedridden man.
"Would you mind closing the door?"
Puzzled, the minister shut the door.
"I have never told anyone this,
not even my daughter,"
said the man.
"But all of my life I have never known how to pray.
At church....
I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer, but it went right over my head.
I abandoned any attempt at prayer,".....
the old man continued,....
"until one day,..... about four years ago,
my best friend said to me,..... 'Joe, prayer is just a simple matter of having a conversation with Jesus.....
Here is what I suggest.
.... Sit down in a chair;
place an empty chair in front of you,
and in faith see Jesus on the chair.
It's not spooky because He promised,
"I'll be with you always."
Then, just speak to Him in the same way you're doing with me right now.'
So, I tried it, and I've liked it so much.... that I do it a couple of hours every day. I'm careful though.....
If my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair, she'd either have a nervous breakdown or send me off to the funny farm."
The minister was deeply moved by the story and encouraged the old man to continue on the journey.
Then he prayed with him..... anointed him with oil.....
and returned to the church.
Two nights later the daughter called to tell the minister that her daddy had died that afternoon.
"Did he die in peace?" he asked.
"Yes, when I left the house about two o' clock, he called me over to his bedside, told me he loved me and kissed me on the cheek.
When I got back from the store an hour later, I found him dead.
But there was something strange about his death.
Apparently, just before Daddy died, he leaned over and rested his head on the chair beside the bed.
What do you make of that?"
The minister wiped a tear from his eye and said, "I wish we could all go like that."

One Saturday night, a 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 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 okay. 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 church that the pastor attends is called Almighty God Tabernacle....

Are you sitting on the fence?
If you are hesitating and sitting on the fence in regards to, "should I accept Christ, maybe I can do it later" those kind of thoughts. and then you see that the true church has suddenly gone,
....you won't be sitting on that fence much longer.
You will 'know' what happened because of what you have read and heard and listened to.
But....all is not lost...
even after the church has gone, and you suddenly know what is going to happen....you can still be saved.
The bible clearly states that there will be 140,000young male Jews, who will be proclaiming God's Word.
So you still have a chance of being with Jesus in heaven...
But why wait?...
Why not accept Christ now...and go with the church....
...You can't say you didn't know...can you?
Blessings...

Let me tell you about a church.....
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT A CHURCH.......
They had some real problems, but in spite of all those, they still reached 1000's of people for Christ.
It was located in the wrong place.......
and besides this, most other people looked on the members with scorn and ridicule.
They did not even have a building in which to meet!!!!
It was poor and most of the members were also on the verge of poverty!
And.......none of the members were actually "trained" for the job!
The membership was small.....barely 120.
And the treasurer had just run off with the little money they did have!!!
lol...The chief leader of this church had a way of putting his foot in his mouth, he was constantly making people mad!
And, as in any church, there were those who "thought" differently to most, and wanted the others to change their thinking....several were leaving, because.....well.... just because......they were being persecuted!
The ONE thing this church had going for it was the power of Holy Spirit.
It was the church in Jerusalem described in the book of Acts.
Yet....with all it's problems....this church baptized 3000 people after it's first revival service!
God is good.....
Bless you..... Yaddy

Acts 10...Peter and the lowered sheet
You would not believe....
how many people tell me that we are not allowed to eat, prawns and lobsters and crabs, because in Acts 10, the sheet that comes down, most people miss-understand what it means...
and I am told it means “ that the Gentiles have been cleansed by God"
. And that was true, but we have to keep on reading... verse 10: Peter became hungry....
(verse 9) Now the next morning, as they were on their journey, and came closer to the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour: ..
10 and he became hungry, and desired to eat: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance;
11 and he beheld, the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth:
12 and there were all kinds of four-footed beasts and creeping things of the earth and birds of the heaven in it.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill and eat. He was told to kill and eat! So, whatever was in the lowered sheet, was allowed to be eaten( I would say crabs and prawns and lobsters were creeping things I checked, there are only a couple of species that swim.)
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common and unclean.
( most commentaries explain this as it means peter can now also go to the gentiles and Cornelius is one, and he was told to call for Peter...
15 And a voice came unto him again the second time, What God has cleansed, do not you make common.
16 And this was done three times: and straight-way the vessel was received up into heaven.
then further down in verse 26b Peter speaking to the people there, “Stand up; I myself also am a man.”
27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many had come together:
28 and he said to them, You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation; and yet God showed me, that I should not call any man common or unclean:
29 wherefore also I came immediately, when I was sent for. I ask therefore with what intent ye sent for me?
Cornelius told him that 4 days ago, as he was praying, and a man in bright cloths stood before me and told me my prayers were answered and to send for you. So I did...and you came...
So. as you can see it means both, it emphatically states Peter was hungry....>br> and he was told to go...and eat...
