The
Giants, The A's And The Loma Prieta
Earthquake:
I was going to Gateway Chapel in Winters at the time
this occurred. One of the things that bugs me about many churches is that
when football or baseball season arrives it can sometimes supersede God in importance.
This was the case for the following event. The Sunday before the earthquake
was a usual Sunday and after the church service many of the guys there were
in the sanctuary talking about sports. They were razzing me about the
Yankees not making it to the World Series and bragging that it was a total
San Francisco Bay Area event. I was not in the mood for this sort of tom
foolery and said the first thing came to my mind. I said that the whole
thing thing bothered me and that as far as I was concerned, there could be
an earthquake and that nobody would win. Later that week, during the first
week of the World Series, the quake happened
at Loma Prieta and pushed back the series a few days. This totally blew my
mind of course. I made an appointment with Pastor Ron Pinkston to inquire if
I was a prophet or something of the like. Ron confirmed that God had been
giving me insights into the prophetic realm.
In addition, I certainly
don't think that Yahweh really cares who wins any sporting competition. He
does care about us saving souls, caring for each other and keeping out eyes
focused on Yeshua.
