"Surprise"


 

Hi John,
 

I have a great story to share with you.  When I heard it, I was so ready to go HOME!

I was sitting in Church yesterday and our Pastor came up to give the morning sermon.  After making a few comments, we immediately went into prayer.  It is what he asked for  that was so fantastic!  He simply asked the Lord to “enter into our service this morning in a way that will “SURPRISE” us all!!!  I have to tell you, I about fell out of my seat.  My first thought was that this was a confirmation from our Lord that He would be coming for us before the service was out.  Needless to say, I waited on pins and needles throughout the sermon, the choir singing a few songs and our alter call. 

Was I disappointed that Jesus didn’t come to get us?  No, I wasn’t.  Because I know that He will be coming very, very soon.  As most of the Fivedove Readers, I have been seeing 111, 1111, 1117, 117, etc. repeatedly for a couple of weeks now.  This started about a year ago.  But, for the last couple of weeks, it has been occurring 3-4 times a day.  My son has been seeing this quite often as well.  And, my youngest daughter has also been seeing it here recently.  Just this morning, I was heating my coffee in the microwave.  I hit the start button and the timer somehow was already set at about 1:43.  After a few moments, I glanced at the timer and it read 111.  I glanced away thinking how great the Lord is and how happy I am knowing that time is short.  Well, after another “few moments” went by, I looked back at the timer (not wanting to overheat my coffee) and guess what?  The timer was counting down from 113, 112, 111, 110, 109!  What exactly happened here?  I believe the Lord was telling me, again, to get ready because he is coming.  Can you believe it?  We serve an awesome God!!
