Premonition, Prayer And Protection

This incident happened a few years back.

I was at my parents' house in Oregon. We were getting ready to go over to the coast for a family reunion. Dad was going on ahead with the trailer, my nephew and my youngest son. Mom, my daughter and I were going to follow after we finished loading more stuff into the Durango.

Right before Dad left, I start having nerves, flashing that something bad was going to happen.

Now, I'm an artist and writer, so I am prone to vain imaginings. But this was strong, really strong.

So under my breath, just barely a whisper, I started praying over my Dad, nephew and son, rebuking Satan , telling him to get away from my family, that God watches over us and we were safe from him.

After a few minutes, I felt better. I always do when I lay things in the Lord's most capable hands.

Off they went, pulling the big trailer, with my little boy in back seat. It wasn't too long and we too were on our way.

When we arrived, ohmygosh, there was a tale to tell.

Dad was driving on 199, a winding 2 lane highway. It's wide enough, but there are times that the river is on one side and a rock embankment is on the other, with blind corners.

So he's cruising along, minding his own business, coming up on one of those blind corners. All of a sudden, a car appears, FLYING around this corner and in his lane!

Thank the Lord -- Dad used to drive truck. This fool was coming head on and there was no where to go, so Dad laid on the brakes, keeping the trailer under control. He said he has no idea how this idiot managed to get back into his own lane, but he did, at the last possible minute.

Whew!!

My son was asleep in the back seat, he had no idea what had happened.

But I know. I know how that fool got over and the accident was avoided. It was the Lord, laying a Mighty Hand upon my Dad, keeping him straight and giving him just enough time to brake, just enough time to avoid that speeding fool.

Premonition, prayer and protection. I know the Spirit was warning me. I prayed. And the Lord again protected my family.

It is a matter of Faith, like always. God watches over us and He helps us on the Path He's laid before us.

Thank you Lord, once more, for the protection You laid on my family that day. We had a wonderful reunion, thanks to You. And again, Amen, Amen, and Amen.
