OK, so a number of years ago, When I was single, a number of years ago, I recall praying together with a very good friend of mine. we were in his home in the living room and spending a considerable time in prayer. At the time, he had a roommate whom we concluded was struggling with a serious addiction. It was an addiction that was harming his spiritual life and so as my friend and I were praying, we began to pray for his roommate to overcome his addiction.
Immediately with eyes closed, we saw a bright flash accompanied by a thunderous noise as the ground beneath our knees quaked. We opened our eyes and we looked at each other and we said, whoa. Within seconds, my friend's roommate ran from out of his room. He was observably shaken and the following is a modified G rated quote of what he said.
Dang it, my TV stopped working. I can't watch my show. To this, my friend and I rose to our feet and we, we began screaming and shouting as we danced around the coffee table. We were so excited about how the Lord issued a bolt of lightning as an answer to our prayer that his roommate stopped watching too much TV.
Well, my purpose in sharing this is not to impress you with how our prayer was answered, but that you be impressed and you with a God who delights in hearing. And answering our prayers. He is a God who delights in hearing and answering our prayers. He delights, he delights....
