I found this good little spoof clip the other day and what makes it funny is the thought that people would believe in this! Why then is it so hard for them not to believe in blind faith and to rubbish what is possibly the most plausible thing on God’s earth.
I saw this bit of commentary by Nigel Tween, Director of training at Elim Pentecostal Church and thought how true it is.
“At home we have programmed our ‘phone to rings seven times before the answering machine cuts in. We do that so that we can be sure to catch the call. If you ever call our home, picture me hunting for the handset, counting the rings and hoping that I can find it before the message kicks in.
How can you tell when God is calling you?
Well…
· Have you ever thought there must be something more to life? (That’s one ring.)
· Have you ever felt, even just a little, that you had a special purpose in life? (That’s the second ring).
· Do you realise from time to time that things are not as they were meant to be? (Ring three.)
· Have you ever felt the need to pray deeply? (Ring four.)
· Have you ever wondered, even just once, “what would Jesus have me do?” (That’s the fifth ring.)
· Pick up the ‘phone!
· Do you feel a compassion for people and want to change things? Answer the call!
Of course God doesn’t use the ‘phone.”
I have always wondered how people know that they are being called, rather than doing something for their own personal gain. Well maybe here is the answer, keep on asking God and your request WILL be answered!
