Drug Bust

God spoke to me. He said: "Go over to David's house." (The name's been changed to protect the innocent.)

So I went.

I knocked on the door. No one answered. I knocked again. Still no answer. I knocked a third time. I thought about leaving. But God had told me to go? (You begin to wonder.) I began to call out, "David. It's Pastor Mike."

Finally the door opened.

It was a nice house. It had nice stuff. A nice couch. Nice appliances. A big screen TV. You name it. But there was something wrong. Drug dealing was going on. Major drug dealing. (You could sense the wicked spirits.)

It wasn't safe.

I told David he needed to get right with God. (He'd been to my church before.) I told David he needed to serve Lord completely ~ that he shouldn't put it off.

I left.

Can you guess where a big drug bust went down the next day?

"David" was sent to prison.

I would meet with him there, too.

The Unseen Hand

We just don't realize how much God protects us. (I know I don't.) We had a drug bust take place in our neighborhood recently. I wrote about it in: "SWAT Operation (and the stupid thing I did)." From the same house (where 6 were arrested and 25 lbs. of marijuana was seized) a truck started backing up at full speed yesterday (that's right, going in reverse) down the street and up the hill. What you gotta know is our street is only wide enough to handle one car. So I was fearful (to say the least). My wife and kids were due to come home from shopping right about that same time. I thought there would be a collision (either them or someone else). And all I could think about is how stupid those people were. Did they not learn the lesson of their partners during the arrest? It was right about then that I looked up and saw my wife and kids in our car coming home at just the same time as that crazy truck backing up the hill at full throttle ~ however, they'd come home the opposite way! They hardly ever go that way is what I'm trying to say. Indeed, they would have collided with that truck if they'd gone the normal way. Let me say (write) it again: We just don't realize how much God protects us. #ThankYouJesus
