A man bought a horse from a preacher. The preacher told the man that this horse had been trained in a very unique way. The only way to make the horse go was to say, “Hallelujah!�The only way to make the horse stop was to say, “Amen!�/FONT>
The man was pleased with his purchase and immediately got on the animal to try out the preacher’s instructions.
“Hallelujah!�shouted the man. The horse began to trot. “Amen!�shouted the man. The horse stopped immediately. “This is great!�said the man. With a “Hallelujah�he rode off, very proud of his new purchase.
The man traveled for a long time through the mountains. As he headed towards a cliff, he tried to remember the word to make the horse stop.
“Stop,�said the man. “Halt!�he cried. The horse just kept going.
“Oh, no...�/FONT>
“Bible...Church!...Please! Stop!!�shouted the man. The horse just began to trot faster. He was getting closer and closer to the edge of the cliff.
Finally, in desperation, the man said a prayer: “Please, dear Lord. Please make this horse stop before I go off the end of this mountain. In Jesus�name, AMEN.�/FONT>
The horse came to an abrupt stop just one step from the edge of the cliff.
“HALLELUJAH!�shouted the man.
