The
Pumpkin Patch Prophecy *
In the last days, God says, I will pour
out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy…
Acts 2:17
Renee, and her husband, Ken, had shared
a beach house with family and friends seven hundred miles from home.
Following a great week they started for home, a four vehicle caravan
of sorts. Not long into the trip Ken’s pick-up truck began running
rough, and the thought of driving through the mountains like this was not
an appealing option. Ken told the others to go ahead, and he and Renee withdrew
from the caravan at the next small town, searching for a mechanic.
Unknown to them, three days prior,
Renee’s sister, Rachelle, had a vision and called another
sibling, Mary, to ask her to pray. In the vision she’d seen a
horrible car crash; Renee had been fatally injured. She asked Mary to
keep the details between them, knowing that though Ken had been
attending church and growing, he was still unsure about this
“listening to the Holy Spirit” stuff. The two agreed, praying
with diligence that God would intervene.
Arriving home before Ken and Renee, the
‘caravan’ told of an awful accident. With tires squealing and
hard braking, they had barely escaped becoming part of the horrific accident.
Following an extra day and night, with
a mechanic finding no problem, Ken and Renee returned home, the
pick-up running perfectly. Once home they reported a great, mostly uneventful, trip;
they’d even seen two memorable sights in the small town. One, a
huge field with hundreds of pumpkins! The other, a small church
wedding with the wedding party lined up outside as the Bride and
Groom departed. “What a picture!”
Mary looked at Rachelle. Those were the exact
details in the vision Rachelle had shared with her! As they told Ken,
his eyes widened. “This Holy Spirit stuff is real isn't it?” he
said.
†
How awesome: one had a vision, the
other got his sight. And the prophet Joel said these things would
happen. Ken’s reluctance to believe in prophecy was wiped away in
one weekend. God had spoken to Rachelle before the incident, and had
caused ‘engine problems’ in Ken’s pick-up to keep him from
experiencing the heartache of losing Renee.
This is a true story. Whether you
choose to believe it is entirely up to you. God does speak to
His people and show them mysteries.
Prayer
“Make me a believer,
Lord. Amen.”
