It was about 10:00 PM, but his wife didn&#8217;t answer the phone.<\/p>\n<p>The pastor let the phone ring many times. He thought it was odd that she didn&#8217;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&#8217;t answered before, and she said that it hadn&#8217;t rung at their house. They brushed it off as a fluke and went on their merry ways.<\/p>\n<p>The following Monday, the pastor received a call at the church office, which was the phone that he&#8217;d used that Saturday night. The man that he spoke with wanted to know why he&#8217;d called on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>The pastor couldn&#8217;t figure out what the man was talking about. Then the man said, &#8220;It rang and rang, but I didn&#8217;t answer.&#8221; The pastor remembered the mishap and apologized for disturbing him, explaining that he&#8217;d intended to call his wife.<\/p>\n<p>The man said, &#8220;That&#8217;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, &#8216;God if you&#8217;re there, and you don&#8217;t want me to do this, give me a sign now.&#8217; At that point my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID, and it said, &#8216;Almighty God&#8217;. I was afraid to answer!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The reason why it showed on the man&#8217;s caller ID that the call came from &#8220;Almighty God&#8221; is because the church that the pastor attends is called Almighty God Tabernacle!<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Special thanks to<\/span> <a class=\"postlink-local\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thebx.net\/forum2\/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=193\">Borogirl05<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000080;\">for sending this to us.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Phone Call On a Saturday night several weeks ago, this pastor was working late, and decided to call his wife before he left for home.
