My mom just called about 15-20 minutes ago to inform of something that happened today. Allen's girlfriend called and shared this story with him. It is a true story that just happened today to a friend of Allen's girlfriend and I wanted to share it with you.
She said she was driving down Dale Earnhardt Blvd when she passed a homeless man walking down the side of the road. She said that as she passed him, she felt very strongly that she needed to turn around and go get him. So that's exactly what she did-she turned around and went back to pick him up. She said he climbed in the backseat and was extremely quiet. She asked him if everything was alright and he simply stated, "God's Mouth Is On The Trumpet". She said, "What?" and he repeated, "God's Mouth Is On The Trumpet". She turned to look at him and he was gone. She said she was so shaken up by the experience that she pulled over on the side of the road. Not too long after, a police pulled in behind her and approached her window. He asked her if everything was alright. She told him "no" and then told him about what had just happened. The police then told her that this was the SEVENTH time in the past week that this had happened and to sit there as long as she needed to.
When my mom called, I was sitting on the couch with Ethan on my lap. I was flipping through the TV channels and he was drinking his bottle, dozing off for the night. I quickly turned off the TV and sat there for about 10 minutes just thinking about things. I have been having very strong feelings lately and this story just confirmed things for me.
It was about 6 months ago, I had gotten Ethan ready for bed and was getting ready to make his bottle when I realized that I had left the formula in the car. I simply put on my coat and slipped out the door thinking that Ethan was in the living room and would be okay until I got back in. When I came back in, I made his bottle and went to get him. He was gone. I couldn't find him anywhere!! Now you have to remember that I live in a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, kitchen, and living room apartment. You can actually stand in my living room and see into every room in the apartment. I looked EVERYWHERE and could not find him. I went from room to room and back to room to room. I was in a panic and the only thing I could think was that the rapture had taken place and I had been left behind. That threw me into even more of a panic. I did eventually find him. He was sitting in a corner in his room with his basket of books laid on its side. It was hiding him perfectly.
Then just a couple months ago, my mom and I had to run to LOWE's. She was there to pick up something that had been left earlier and also to purchase something else. She asked me to run to the service desk and take care of one thing while she went to the self-checkout to take care of the second thing. I finished up before she did and headed towards the register where she was checking out. I saw her bend down to pick something up, but she never stood back up. She just disappeared. My walk quickened as I headed towards where she just was at. She wasn't there so I began to scan the crowd. Finally I saw her. She had finished her purchase and was headed toward the service desk to catch up with me. Once again, the first thing that hit me was that the rapture had taken place and it sent me into a panic.
Ever since those two incidents, I have been feeling more and more that the end is getting closer. I wake up MULTIPLE times during the night in a complete panic because I reach for Ethan and he isn't in the spot that I thought he was. Throughout the day, I catch myself hollaring for Ethan because I can't seem to find him, all the while he is right under my feet. The fear of the rapture taking place and me getting left behind has been almost overwhelming lately. I haven't talked to anyone about it, but decided tonight to ask you all to pray for me. I have struggled for many years with Church and God. I was doing better around the time that David and I met and he actually told me that one of the things that attracted him to me was the fact that I was different. He could tell just by talking to me and being around me that there was something different about me-something that he wanted a part of. David did a lot of changing in the months that we were together. He told me at one point that he had never had a Bible and he really wanted one. The next day, I went out and got him a Bible and had his name engraved on it. He loved that Bible and after we were married, I would come home from work at night and he would be laying in the living room floor reading it. In fact, I opened it up today and it is still marked at Genesis 18-19. That's as far as he got, but he had such a hunger. He just couldn't get enough. I remember going to Church one Sunday and the preacher talked about Adam and Eve. He leaned over and wanted to know who Adam and Eve were. I told him to wait until after Church and I would explain. He got angry with me because he didn't want to wait. He wanted me to tell him right then and there. He did wait though and after Church, I told him the story of Adam and Eve. Another night, he wanted to know where to find the 10 Commandments. I told him I didn't know for sure, but I would find it for him, so I sat down that night and using the Concordance in the back of his Bible, I found it for him. I remember him taking the Bible from me and reading the 10 Commandments. He was in awe that it was there and he was able to read it for himself. He told me later that he had wanted to ask where to find it for a long time, but felt stupid because he didn't know much about the Bible. I told him to never feel stupid to ask me questions about the Bible, that if I didn't know where to find it, we would find someone that did. David didn't like to talk about death, but a couple weeks before he passed, he made the comment to me and one of his long-time friends "I don't want to die, but when I do, I know where I'm going!" He was so sure of where he would spend eternity. Here was a guy that didn't even know about Adam and Eve when we met, but less than a year later knew beyond a shadow of a doubt where he would spend eternity. I feel deep in my heart that David DID make it to Heaven and the only reason he did was because he saw something different in the girl that worked at Mr. Pocket's Deli in Rockwell.
Since David's death, I have become so bitter and angry. I am bitter and angry because God took the man that I loved more than life itself. He took my baby's daddy and it doesn't seem like I will ever have my whole life back. I don't want to go to church anymore and 9 times out of 10, I don't. I am so ashamed of myself for letting myself get to this point. I don't want to miss Heaven and I surely don't want to be the reason that someone else misses it. My desire to walk with the Lord and make it to Heaven is strong. There are lots of things that I am confused about, but want to do the best I can in my walk in this life. I want to be that mother (if the Lord does decide to wait years and years to return) whose kids will look back and admire me for my walk with the Lord. I want to be that mommy that when my kids need prayer, they have the faith to come to me because they know my prayers will go higher than the ceiling. I am asking that all of you please say a prayer for me. Pray that I can completely let go of my bitterness and anger. Pray that I am able to find answers within myself. Pray that I am able to find peace with what has happened in my life. And please don't pray only for me...Pray for my Dad, and my brothers. My dad has struggled with similar problems as me for years. Please pray that his eyes will be opened before it is too late. Thank you everyone in advance for your prayers. I know that many of you are prayer warriors and I need all the prayer I can get to keep me on the straight and narrow. May God Bless You All.

Shan, Mom is so very proud of you!!! I have been praying earnestly that God will show you how much he truly loves you and give the desire back to you to serve him. This is a start. The Bible says to confess and this is exactly what you have done. We are all human and we will struggle with that until the day we die or the trumpet sounds. God has great plans for you and I know he will wipe away your tears and replace them with joy. You have always been a tender girl and if you just give your all to God he will give his all to you. I love you so much and I am rejoicing about this first step you have taken. David would be very proud of you. You have a great responsibility upon your shoulders. You have a precious little boy who needs you to guide him into the kingdom. The end reward will be so worth it. what a great reunion our family will have. Andrew and David both are waiting! I'm still praying for you and asking God to bind Satan tonight and cast him so far away from you and this family.I am so very proud of my girl!!Love you so much!!!!
ReplyDeleteShandalin, thanks for posting this. Who knows how many lives you'll touch today! I will pray for you every day and ask God to help you with your struggles. I have alot of confidence in you. You're doing such a good job with little Ethan. I will also help you pray that God will take away your pain...I can't imagine going through what you've been through. I hope you have a great day today.
ReplyDeleteShan,
ReplyDeleteYou have been in my thoughts and prayers for quite some time. Will need to pray more earnestly. wow! That really makes you think. I know the end times are getting closer and it is a bit scary to think about. I have friends and family that are not ready. May we all take this more seriously and pray for ourselves and others. God bless. hang in there and keep leaning on Jesus. he loves you and will help you through.
Love ya
Shandalin,
ReplyDeleteYou're loved by God. Otherwise, you would not be being totally surrounded by His signs and wonders. I encourage you to seek Him. If you're still having thoughts about being left behind, I want to talk to you. I have a blog at faithielewis.blogspot.com - reach out to me and I'll tell you anything you question. I have two children, and know the fears we moms hold inside.
It is true, God's mouth is on the trumpet.
Blessings!

This same exact thing happened to a person I know in Tennessee a few weeks past. Exact same story. She is an elderly lady. She was driving passing a homeless looking man she would never pick anyone up off te streets but she felt strongly impressed to go back. After arguing with the inner voice for a little while she felt even more impessed to go back. She did. She picked him up and he said "I have a message from the Lord for you" "God's mouth is on the trumpet" she also said, "what"? He again said the exact same thing...."God's mouth is on the trumpet". She turned to say something to him and he had disappeared from her car. She was a wreck and almost ran off the road. A police officer stopped her and said after she told him her story he had heard the same thing from three other people. This happened last week in Tennessee. Karen I know the people personally that this happened to. Not a hoax. She told her Sunday School Class the story. She was very shaken up. What could this mean? I have searched scripture. I do believe it could be a sign the rapture is coming and we should be prepared BUT I also see a pattern in scripture of trumpets blown to warn of judgement and battle/war. Could it be that our nation has so fallen away from the purpose GOD has that we are about to be judged?
ReplyDeleteJudgement will come to God's house first. 2nd Chronicles 14 states "If my people who are called by MY NAME will humble themselves, pray and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS....THEN I will....." God's people have not turned from sin, our idols, or humbled ourselves to seek the face of GOD instead of HIS HAND. GOD HELP US TO REPENT and PRAY for ourselves, others, our nation and those in authority over us...leaders and kings. Karen
I just wanted to share with you that i too, am a 20 yr old mother to one :) and have a wonderful husband. For a while now i have too been having the same situations. I was trying to get in touch with my mother and she didnt answer and so i called several relatives and couldnt get in touch with any, my first thought was that the rapture had happend and i was left behind. i wanted to tell you that we are from NC and my husband and i were at his cousins house tonight talking about how we all wanted to find a church that we really liked. I want to be able to raise Noah (my 3month old) in, she went on telling me about her preacher telling them what had happend to him and his wife on the way home ... He said, that they were on 95 in Fayetteville coming home and they passed a hitchhiker, and felt a strong urge to turn around so they did ... they got back to the man and asked if he needed anything they said the man knelt down on his knees and said the trumpet is close to his mouth, the preacher and his wife looked at each other and then back to the man but he was gone...they sat there and a state trooper pulled up and asked if they were okay. The preacher replied your going to think im crazy but....(he told him what happened) and the state trooper replied, you are the 7th person this month to tell me that. (In the book revelation there are 7 trumpets.) This really caught our attention do we looked in to it on the computer and all .. we ended up leaving their house and on the way home i was telling my husband that we needed to get our lives straight when then we looked dead ahead of us and a "fallling" star was so high up and dropped to the ground (or as far as we could see) it wasnt like a shooting star they are so fast this was a bit slower. we got home and my husband brent was reading through the book of revolation and it says Revelation 9
ReplyDelete1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth.
So I too believe that the Lord is trying to get us to get our lives right. Im sorry to hear about your husband but God has a plan and everything happens for a reason! I will be praying for you!
God is working in you and maybe he wants you to fully commit to him! That way you have a peace and know you are saved. If you wanna talk let me know!
ReplyDeleteOur god is merciful but he will be a tough judger and will not just let anyone in. We need to give him 100 percent always and listening to what God wants us to do for him.
The end is near and we need to spread the word as much as possible!
