Surprise Presence – Anne Adams

“The angel of the Lord came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” (Judges 6:11-12 NIV)


"Did you beep me?"

So said the caller to the big church where I worked many years ago when I answered the phone. I quickly did a mental inventory of the ministers who I knew had beepers. No, it wasn’t any of them, so I blurted, "Who are you?"

Now I know I should have been more tactful with my response but the voice was clear and firm, "Walter."

The senior minister! Oops!

I quickly connected him with his secretary and then had a chance to think about it. Usually, when she beeped him she’d alert me but this time she didn’t – hence the surprise presence.

Gideon had a similar experience. While he was trying to secretly thresh some wheat, he suddenly received a divine visitor – a surprise presence with news of a special task for him to do.

Though I’ve never had a personal visit like that, I believe I’ve often felt a similar sense of divine presence. It can take various forms – perhaps a sudden urge to say or do something that will encourage someone. Or maybe it’s a new idea I can implement in my writing ministry. And sometimes, like he did with Gideon, when God approaches me with his unexpected presence, he might have a new task for me.

Perhaps you’ve had a similar experience? Did you respond? How did you do it? Whatever you decide to do it’s important to remember that, like with Gideon, the Lord behind the visit is prepared with every provision to allow you to carry it out.

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. God has used Gravity to help lead many to Christ, even atheists. It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campus and online in several languages. Hundreds of reviews online. 

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time. 

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
