Last Sunday our favorite pastor in Alabama continued in his series on spiritual warfare. My heart and mind were on the hostage release that had just taken place in Israel. I had been especially wrestling with Jesus’ words to love our enemies and pray those who persecute us. As if reading my journal he read these verses out and stated we are never to avenge ourselves, instead look and see who the real enemy is behind the evil. We worshipped and prayed for eyes to see and for protection from evil.
After lunch my husband drove us back to his parent’s home north of Birmingham. Traffic was tight and a speeding car suddenly cut in front of us. There was nowhere to move as this white 4-door swung left then right. Space opened to our side and my husband shifted to get away. Unfortunately that car shifted with us and we were again stuck. All at once the car slowly moved beside us and the driver-side rear window lowered. Unbelievably a pistol came out and pointed right at me. My husband yelled, “Gun” and hit the brakes!
Miraculously, no one hit us from behind AND they did not shoot. His braking created a good distance and the threatening car sped off an exit. We drove on shocked but thankful. Had we done something wrong? Who were they? Why didn’t they shoot? We prayed and thanked God for His mercy! We asked Him to stop those people. We prayed for their change of heart. We asked God to save them and forgive them.
What a gift it is to know Hope and love and truth. How very dark and sad life must be without Jesus. I am absolutely sure angels protected us that day and I hope they were clearly seen… maybe it set that whole car full of people on a new path🙏🏼
