MOTHER AND DAUGHTERS PROTECTED
FROM TORNADO
In January 2011, in your message of the year (God Has
Crowned You With Glory And Honor), you mentioned
that we needed the Lord’s protection in 2011. I listened
to that message over and over again, and confessed that
my family and I were crowned with the Lord’s glory and
honor.
On April 28, 2011, my two daughters and I went on
a road trip within the United States (from Virginia to
Georgia). This was the day of one of the biggest tornado
outbreaks in US history. A few days before we left for
the trip, I had the urge to just read Psalm 91 and Psalm
23 with my children. We read the scriptures and quoted
verses out loud, and then I read it again to my girls as
they drifted off to sleep.
On the day of the trip itself, we encountered horrendous
storms with awfully dark clouds, torrential winds and
hail as we drove through Virginia and Tennessee. In
my heart, I felt that I needed to just drive through the
storms and did so by God’s grace.
We stopped to eat in North Georgia. I wanted to hurry
and eat so that we could get back on the road quickly.
But in my heart, I felt the Lord telling me to slow down
and let my girls eat and relax, and not to rush them.
When we left the restaurant, I felt the urge to get gas
at the gas station next door. I didn’t know why because
my gas tank was still more than half full. But I did
it anyway. Then, we got back on the highway and
continued our trip.
After travelling less than a mile, the traffic came to a
complete stop. We waited for a while and then realized
that something serious had just happened right up ahead.
A large tornado had just torn through the town directly in
front of us only minutes before! It had traveled and caused
destruction on the very section of highway that we were
going to travel on. By God’s grace, the Lord had us stop
and get food and gas, slowing us down enough to keep us
from the destructive tornado! We missed the tornado by
only three to five minutes.
We were stuck on the highway for five hours as emergency
crews began to emerge from everywhere to help the
victims of the tornado. We prayed in the Holy Spirit for
the victims and sang praises to the Lord for His saving
grace. We were in the car and couldn’t move for five hours.
While we waited in the car, another storm arose and
traveled over us. It shook our SUV violently and all those
on the radio said that another tornado was imminent. We
were stuck on the highway with no way to exit. The exit up
ahead had been torn apart by the tornado.
I began to confess Psalm 91 over us and told my daughters
that the Lord would keep us safe no matter what the storm
looked like. The Word of God calmed our hearts. We
turned off the bad news on the radio and just sang praises
to God for His protection, and He protected us. The
second storm didn’t produce another tornado! The Lord
kept us safe and I am so thankful!
The devil intended to cause destruction in our lives in
2011, but the Lord’s amazing power, love and grace made
sure that we were always held safe and warm in the secret
