Redeemed from Destruction
During my law school days, I lived in a city about 1.5 hours away from my church. This particular day, my birthday in fact, was the beginning of our annual faith convention. Like other conventions, I had determined to go and wouldn’t be deterred by what I considered “weakness of the flesh”, i.e. sleepiness.
So after finishing my classes, I jumped in my car to prepare for my journey. As always, my first order of business was (and still is) to pray over my travels, plead the Blood of Jesus over my life, and thank God for my covenants of peace and protection. That being in place, I started off on my trip. I became drowsier as the trip went on, even catching myself dozing off briefly.
The final time I did this, I opened my eyes to see my car swerving into the other lane of oncoming traffic. My “knee jerk” reaction was to swerve my car back over on my side of the road, but because I did it with such force, I ended up losing control of the car, altogether. It then spun uncontrollably back across the lane of oncoming traffic (miraculously, without hitting anyone), eventually flipping over an embankment and rolling through trees and brush finally to land upside down. During those preceding moments, I saw my life flash before my eyes. My mind was in shock, but my spirit was alive! I began to shout, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus”. I never lost consciousness and once the car finally landed, my survival instincts kicked in.
Because the car was upside down, the doors were entrenched in the ground and stuck. I was thinking of escaping by breaking a window, but the Lord, in His goodness, had people at my car before I knew it! They safely removed me from the car and carried me up the embankment, careful to be gentle, given the severity of the accident and possible injuries.
Shortly thereafter, the ambulance arrived to take me to the hospital. The whole time the medics were helping me, I was praying in the spirit and declaring that none of my bones shall be broken and other scriptures that came up in my heart. I never stopped declaring the Word.
Long story short: after arriving at the hospital and being checked, I had NO injuries (save a minor bruise from my seatbelt strap) and was released! People who had only heard (not even seen) the accident had called the hospital to inquire about the patient because they suspected the worse. They found out differently though.
As a final note, my father and sister were killed in a tragic car accident several years before that, and I’m convinced that Satan was trying to repeat this tragedy in my family. The difference this time, however, was that I was now a born-again, spirit-filled, covenant minded and well-taught believer in Christ. He attacked me as I was on my way to the house of the Lord (bad move) and ran straight into the power of the Word, the Blood, the ministering angels and God’s faithfulness and love. And so here I am, all these years later, still enforcing his defeat—and God’s greatness--with this testimony of divine protection. To God be the glory!!

Just a quick, and funny, testimony of God's protection.
I'm standing on the porch spraying down with bug spray, my husband had just warned me that the spray makes the floor slippery. In in an instant I am on my butt one foot in the air! I laugh, all the while thanking God for His angels. It was at least a three foot drop to the floor and I felt like someone gently set me down. You may think that was just luck...I know it was His protection even in the simple mishaps.

In our first home, we had an alarm system after several months we received a letter stating the system was not registered with the local police department; if an alarm call went out they may not respond. It unnerved me because my husband frequently worked late or overnight and I did not like thinking the alarm would sound and no one would come. That night I dreamed that there was this light in my hallway outside of my bedroom and in the dream I heard "My peace do I give to you." I looked out of the window and surrounding my house in a circle were these beings (like white vapors)ant they were over 30 feet tall, standing shoulder to shoulder with these huge swords drawn and the were all leaning forward ready to swing the swords! I woke up with inexplicable peace and I knew there was no way I would be harmed or my home violated. I actually forgot about the letter and never registered the system. Weeks later, my alarm sounded and the company called to verify we were okay. 15 minutes later the police showed up at our door saying; "we had an alarm call..." Not only did I have the assurance of a dream, but then the assurance of if you call they will come. That was in 2000 and I have been studying and praying Psalm 91 over my life and my family every day since. God truly does protect us and He assured me that His angels do have charge over me always.
