A  BEATLES  STORY: 

UNLIKE  ANY  YOU'VE  EVER  HEARD!

I had a supernatural encounter involving the song "Here Comes The Sun."  The remarkable story is covered in my recently released book,          

"Acts of an Awesome God - Out of Darkness."

  The experience was especially meaningful to me because I am a long-time Beatles fan and because it happened immediately following the death of my grandfather, the one who was watching TV with me when I first saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964.     

   Found on page 65, this amazing true account will stir your heart, bring you comfort and build your faith in a way that few other stories ever will. And this is only one of the many incredible supernatural stories I share throughout the pages of this reader-friendly paperback. 

To order a copy for yourself, for a fellow Beatle lover, or as a gift for a special friend, simply go to Amazon Books.com - or go to - Barnes & Noble Books.com   

Also available in the Kindle version.

BE LED BY THE SPIRIT & BE A BLESSING

   I had some money I wanted to give as an offering unto the Lord but just couldn't decide on where it should go. Then one day I was in my local Wal-Mart when I noticed Steve standing in line at one of the check-out stands.
   I hadn't seen him in a  long time but that wasn't unusual since Steve was in full-time ministry and was on the road much of the year. As I stood there watching him, I suddenly felt the urge to give the offering money I had been holding onto over to him.

   I took the money out of my pocket and placed it into one of my hands. I walked up to him and said, "Steve, the Lord put it on my heart to give this to you." Then I reached out my hand and placed the money in his hand.
   He looked at it and thanked me and I went on my way. Months later I ran into Steve again and what he told me both touched my heart and made me thankful I obeyed the leading of God.

   "Do you remember that day you came up to me in Wal-Mart and put that money in my hand?" he asked.
   "Yes, I do," I replied.
   "Well, what you didn't know that day was that I had been having a real tough time financially. I had been struggling so much that I was at the point of giving up on the ministry. I had prayed and asked God to show me that day that everything would be alright,"                                                     
   "I was buying a few things we needed that day with some of the last money I had when you walked up and handed me those bills. That encouraged me to go on because I knew then that God would meet our needs if we stayed in the ministry."

   
   The Bible says in Romans 8:14, "Those who are led by the Spirit of God, these are the children of God." It is absolutely essential to follow the leading of God at all times because a decision we make can not only have an effect on our own life, it could make a major impact in the life of someone else.

PRAYER & PROBLEM PEOPLE


  
                             "For the love of God constrains us,"


   I could give one example after another of how God has helped me deal with problem people in my life, but one in particular stands out.

   I had just started my new job and naturally I wanted to do my best to get along with everybody there. Nothing is worse at work than a tense atmosphere and I set out to be as friendly and considerate as possible to all my co-workers.
  But there always seems to be at least one trouble maker at a work site and it wasn't long before I discovered who that person was at my new job.

   Sharon (not her real name) was argumentative and a known instigator and made no secret of her intentions to cause problems for anyone who crossed her.
   Despite my best efforts to get along with her, Sharon soon had her sights set on making my life miserable and over the next several days took every opportunity to ruffle my feathers and make me look bad to the other employees.

   One day I had enough and was just about to tell her a thing or two when the oddest thing happened. I had walked up to Sharon, ready to unload a few choice remarks, when suddenly I felt the warm love of God well up in my chest.
   At that moment all the frustration and anger I had been feeling just drifted away and in its place I felt such peace and kindness towards Sharon.

   I realized this was a divine moment when I was filled with the kind of love God shows toward even the worst of people. It is often referred to as the Agape (or unconditional love) that holds God back from giving people what they would normally "deserve."

    In the fifth chapter of Second Corinthians, The Bible explains what I experienced,

          "For the love of God constrains us, because we have  
            concluded this; that one died for all," - II Corinthians 5:14
  
   Instead of reacting with human emotion, our desire to please Him and this knowledge (that Christ died for us all) helps us more easily yield to God as His love reaches out through us to even the most challenging people.


   That day God not only changed my heart toward Sharon, He also saved me from saying something I would later regret because I would have stooped down to her level in retaliation.
   God had already done such a marvelous thing, but He had one more pleasant surprise in store for me.

   I really believed God placed me at that job and had plans to keep me there for quite some time. But, things couldn't go on as they were between Sharon and me so I took the matter to God in  prayer.

   "Lord, I'm asking you to either change Sharon's heart or remove her from here," I said.

   Now Sharon had worked at the same location for the last 12 years and hadn't given any indication she had plans of leaving anytime soon.
   However, just after my experience (and to everyone's total surprise) she made the announcement she would be leaving within a few days.

   I must say, I was amazed at how fast God answered my prayer and it seemed the obvious conclusion was that He removed her because she was not going to change.  
   After she left, the atmosphere instantly improved at the work location, not only for me but, for everyone who had dealt with her caustic personality for all those years.

   God will change things for us in answer to prayer, but sometimes the most amazing changes are the ones that take place within our own heart.
