Hey mark, welcome aboard buddy, great to see another believer out there amongst the world!
To answer your questions, which are very good - I do think God has a sence of Humor. First of all, im a big goof ball, i love to joke around when its appropriate or atleast i try to keep it that way, and i love good times. Since all is OF GOD, then obviously God is a very funny guy, we just don't always know its Him.
I want to share with you something that i atleast found hilariouse. My brother was having his Doubts about God, and not everyone is as fortunate as him to have such a revalation but, he prayed that night before he went to bed.
He prayed God would give him "some proof" that He was there. So my brother sleeps, and he has this crazy dream. Hes walking down the stairs of our house (2 story house) and he sees all these angels, kinda like cupid looking angels, with arrows fighting these things that are trying to come into our house. He even remember what there eyes looked like, they were Hearts. He said it was kinda creepy. Well as hes walking down thte stairs, he stops and hears this voice, and He looks up to the cieling and nits all shining Bright light, he couldn't see a face or anything. The Voice said with mighty authority "YOU WANT YOUR POOF? HERES YOUR PROOF." At that moment my brother woke up, his heart was pounding, he was scared out of his mind. He knew right then and there who that was talking to him, he went straight for the bathroom to take a pee. He told me he has no doubt about Gods existence, but that He doesn't want God to talk to Him again like that because it scared Him. LOL. Can you imagine?
I found it humerous, now we just laugh about it whenw e look back at it, but i can understand at that moment when you wake up how frightneing it must have been, knowing evne though it was our Father in Heaven, still pretty spooky hehe.
Gods had His fun with me also lol, its kind of embarrassing for me actualy to share it with you guys but... Since you are my family i hope you don't look at my differently for this. God have mercy upon me for what i did but,
WHen i was still very carnel minded, yet growing in the Lord i had some struggles with the LUST OF THE FLESH. It is God willing behind me but, I was in my room... bieng a naughty boy youd say. My brother (Same one who had the dream) was downstairs on His computer, and He thought he heard me scream "JESUS CHRIST GOD ALLMIGHTY" so he thought something was wrong naturally or that i was going nuts. So he ran upstairs quickly, and Opens the door and sure enough He caught me with my pants down. (Please don't laugh ><) I was embarrasd offcourse, and my brother was cracking up, hes like "Did you just say Jesus CHrist God almighty?" and i replied "Yea sure while im doing this offcourse i did!" (sarcasm obviously) and hes like "no really did you?" I told him "No, why?" And sure enough He tells me what he had heard and im like "Dear Lord, thats not funny!" Well my brother left the room and i walked to the bathroom in shame, and in embarresment, and i looked up to the cieling and kinda chuckled knowing it was Him having His humor but also telling me to not do what i was doing. In the end i got a laugh out of it, and so did my brother, and im sure God was having his fun while also being a good Father and telling me "No, no son!"
The reason i know this was God, well everything Is Him and everything happens for a reason but, I knew it was Him having His fun while also being a good father is because, OUt of everything my brother could have heard me say he heard "JESUS CHRIST, GOD ALMIGHTY!" and at all the times he could have heard that He heard it right when He did, which wasn't a good time for me, if you know what i mean. :oops:
Thats my personal and embarrasing story, please don't look at my differently, it was very hard to swallow my adams apple and tell the tale!
Anyway God bless and welcome aboard buddy!
In Christ
