True Life Inspiration

The Lord Asked For Puppets!

By Faye Spell

I grew up in the Methodist church, wasn't satisfied, joined the Baptist church, wasn't satisfied, joined the Catholic Church.

My kids started going to Abundant Life and I went for a visit. Granddaughters went to the front for alter call. BOTH passed out on the floor-- I nearly passed out. I just knew this was voodoo. Some sort of occult.

For three weeks I scolded my daughter on the occult religion they were in. A friend invited me to a meeting with a new preacher in town. We went and arrived late. We had to sit in the fourth row from the front. At end of sermon the preacher has alter call and two people fell out. I thought "Oh, my God, not another occult church!" He then points in my direction and says "the lady in the red sweater needs prayer." I turn around to see who it was. No one in back of me had a red sweater on. By the time I turned back around he had pulled two chairs out in front of me and grabbed my hand. Then he said he wanted me in the aisle, he didn't want that last chair in between us.

Not wanting to embarrass him, my husband or myself I followed him to the aisle. He puts his hand on my forehead and asks the audience to pray with him. I closed my eyes, had a fleeting though, "Lord if there is anything to this stuff, show me." Oh, He did. He hit me over the head with a baseball bat. It didn't hurt. Next thing I know I'm on the floor. I started coming up and He hit me again. Fell back on the floor. A good dose don't you think?

I heard the pastor say "she is truly drunk with the Holy Spirit. Praise God! Praise God!" I did not know what I had been looking for.

I FOUND IT!!!

Funny thing about it, almost everyone there knew me and knew I didn't believe in this. NO ONE stood behind me to catch me. I fell on a concrete floor and felt no pain. The pastor said he was starting a church in our town and I wanted to do something. He said he needed puppets to get children in. That the puppets in the magazines were to high in price. Not knowing beans about sewing I told him I would try.

Within a couple of weeks I had puppet patterns completed. He was quite happy. Other pastors started asking for puppets. I promised the Lord I would keep the puppets priced so that the smaller churches could afford the puppets. Made just as good and out of good quality materials. Also, I have pockets for the fingers that the professional puppets don't have. Now I'm on the internet serving churches. This was the Lord's idea. Not mine. Actually had never seen a puppet before this time. Also, most pastors and Children's teachers like mine because all the children can see them. They are size 3 small child. One other thing you might want to know. All three of my grown children, my sister and husband are still praying for being slain in the spirit and have not been. Strange don't you think. I didn't want it, or believe in it. Hope I haven't bored you. I just love to tell the story of how the Lord favoured me enough to answered my question right then and there. Blessings to you and yours,
