Almighty God

Caller ID   

On a Saturday night several weeks ago, this pastor was working
late, and decided to call his wife before he left for home.  It was about
10:00 PM, but his wife didn't answer the phone. 

The pastor let the phone ring many times.  He thought it was odd
that she didn't answer, but decided to wrap up a few things and try
again in a few minutes.  When he tried again she answered right away.  He
asked her why she hadn't answered before, and she said that it hadn't
rung at their house. They brushed it off as a fluke and went on their
merry ways. 

The following Monday, the pastor received a call at the church
office, which was the phone that he'd used that Saturday night.  The man
that he spoke with wanted to know why he'd called on Saturday night.

The pastor couldn't figure out what the man was talking about.
Then the man said, "It rang and rang, but I didn't answer." The pastor
remembered the mishap and apologized for disturbing him, explaining that
he'd intended to call his wife. 
 
The man said, "That's, OK.  Let me tell you my story.

You see, I was planning to commit suicide on Saturday night, but
before I did, I prayed, 'God if you're there, and you don't want me to
do this, give me a sign now.' At that point my phone started to ring.  I
looked at the caller ID, and it said, 'Almighty God'.  I was afraid to
answer!"

The reason why it showed on the man's caller ! ID that the call
came from "Almighty God" is because the church that the pastor
attends is called Almighty God Tabernacle!!
