DREAMS

end of the day, I was free from the back pain as well. God is good, all the time. I praise his holy
name.
He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.
(Psalm 106:10)
70. GOD’S PROTECTION
For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of
his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. (Psalm 27:5)
Have you ever thought about how much God does to keep you and your family safe? Well, we
may not really think much about it until some "near escape event" happens in our life and then
we are forced to think of how much "He Cares".
"The prayers of believers who live a holy life and pray in one accord" are very important is what
the still small voice has spoken to me several times.
Several accidents have happened in the lives of my Church members in the past year and God
has been gracious to keep all of them safe; save a few scratches here and there. One brother
was on his bike traveling early one morning with a pillion and didn’t notice a wire lying broken
on the road. As he drove his vehicle the wire just whipped his neck and threw him and the
pillion on the ground. The wire slashed the front of his neck but did not cut through or he
would have died immediately. God intervened just at the right moment.
This month when I was conducting a baptism, there was a phone call which brought distress to
all of us. An auto in which 3 adults and a child of our church were traveling overturned when
the driver suddenly applied the brakes because a snake slithered across the road. God
intervened promptly and all were saved except for a few scratches.
One of our members, on a rainy night, last week, went out of his house to feed his dog and
stepped on a poisonous snake and he became aware of it because it lashed at him with its tail.
God had positioned the snake in such a way that he had stepped on its head. Just imagine if it
was the other way around.
Another brother who is a welder, had a spark of fire hit him directly in his eye. God saw to it
that the spark hit only the conjunctiva and not the cornea for then he would have lost his sight
in one eye.
These are just a few of the wondrous deliverances that the Lord has done for us as a church. All
who have experienced these near fatal accidents have testified in church about 2 things- 1) It is
the mercy of God that they escaped. 2) It is the fervent prayers of the church that is a shield for
them.
If you read the verse at the top of this message and think about the near escapes in your life,
you will realize that God’s Word is 100% truth and nothing else. I also believe that I and my
