One of my leaders told a story he had firsthand knowledge of. Someone he knew was waiting in an airport, and was praying, "God, is there anything you want? Someone you'd like me to talk to?"
God spoke and said, " go stand on your head in front of that vending machine." He said," NO WAY! That's not the voice of God! That's just stupid, He doesn't want me to do that!" He argued in his mind, but the urgency kept building to go stand on his head in front of the vending machine, and finally, unable to withstand the pressure, he went and did it. In moments a guy came rushing up to him saying, "why are you doing that!???" He told the man, "well, I'm a follower of Jesus, and He told me to stand on my head in front of this vending machine." The guy started sobbing! God had been speaking to him for 3 years, chasing him down, and just moments before, he had said, "ok Jesus, if this is you, make a guy stand on his head in front of that vending machine. " He gave his life to Christ right there.
Oh, Lord, make me that foolish.
