A WARNING WELL RECEIVEDWritten by Irvin L. Rozier
This is story one out of 50 from my book, My Walk with Lord, http://www.selahbooks.com/. 2 Kings 20.1 "In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live." This is a short version...One Tuesday morning, I went to an 11 A.M. prayer meeting at a local church. Names on a list were called out; some were sick, some were in need of salvation. I recognized name of husband of one of women attending prayer meeting. He was a good man, attended church, but had never been born again. As his name was called out, Lord spoke to me and said, "I want you to go see this man after this meeting is over." The command was urgent, so as soon as meeting was over, I drove three miles to see him. I knocked on his door, he came to door, opened it and asked me, "What are you doing here?" I replied, "I came to pray for you." He tried to change subject. Suddenly, anointing of Lord came on me, and I looked directly in his eyes and said, "Get your affairs in order, you are about to die." He looked at me in a shocked manner, and I said, "Now, let me pray for you." He sat down in his easy chair, and I laid my hands on him and began to pray and asked Lord to reveal his love to this man.

Clouds are sorrows, suffering, or providential circumstances, within or without our personal lives, which actually seem to contradict sovereignty of God. Yet it is though these very clouds that Spirit of God is teaching us how to walk by faith. They are a sign that God is there." (Steven Curtis Chapman)It was a cool August night during Summer before my Junior year in high school. I was just getting off work on what seemed to be worst day of my life. I was having a mental break-down, nothing was going right, and every negative thing in my life seemed to hit me at once. The clock in my truck read 2:13am as I pulled into my high school parking lot that I do so often to take time to think. I laid in back of truck and look up at beautiful stars and clouds. What seemed like forever, I was just talking and praying. I was praying that my life would get better and I kept asking God why He was doing this with my life. I am a Christian, I should have a great life, but it seemed to me, that He wasn't listening. I screamed, "God where are you?" My eyes began to focus on different cloud formations. First I saw what looked like music notes and then I saw what looked like two people hugging. Then last formation that I saw I will never forget, my eyes fixed on a formation of Jesus praying. Just then, my ears focused on song that had been playing on tape player. The song called "Sometimes He Comes In The Clouds" by Steven Curtis Chapman. The lyrics that I heard at that moment were;
