Divine protection

Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my first car. I really hate giving my old stuff away and for me it was not just a normal car. It was a place of encounters, heavenly conversations, revelations.. and I experienced His protecting Hand so many times. I was definetely a bad driver at the beginning: impatient, ignorant, impulsive.. So many times I had to repent for doing stupid things and asked the Lord to help me drive better. There were many situations that could have turned out really bad, but one winter evening I will not forget till the rest of my life.

I was visiting friends 500km away from Frankfurt. On my way back I decided to drive one friend home, as she was living in a tiny village and the connection there was poor. Before we left another friend prayed for angels before, behind, on the sides, above and underneath the car.  Shortly after that it started to snow heavily and soon it was very slippery. I had to drive slow, sloow, slooow... After seeing two accidents in about one hour we reached the village and my friend was worried and asked me, if I want to stay overnight. Do not worry, I will be fine, I reassured her, I will worship the whole time.

So off I went slowly, singing praises alongside Tasha Cobbs. The last crossroad and I will finally reach the highway, just turn left.. on red lights there was just one car standing, in my lane.. as I was approaching it, I wanted to slow down, but the brakes were not working! I was not slowing down, I will hit the car, no, no, no.. bang! The impact was not great, but made the front car move a little bit forward. First I checked the car, not a fancy one, good. Then I started looking frantically for my insurance card. As I got out the car I slipped, the road turned into ice! Only then a man in working clothes got out of his car. I was expecting an angry, screaming person, but this young goodlooking man was very different. He approached me with a big smile on his face and said: What a horrible weather we have today. I just kept apologizing, explaining I was trying to slowdown.. He checked his and then my car and said there is nothing. He was in such a peace, he did not want anything from me, so I made him take at least my insurance card. He looked at it like he saw something like this for the first time in his life. Weird, very weird, his peace was somehow transferred on me, I was calm again. He looked at me and told me to drive carefully.

As I was sitting in my car again, one question filled my mind: Lord, could it be? It must have been.. Could it be? It must have been an angel! He was so different, so out of this world. Wearing working clothes on Sunday, the car was simple, black, with no company name on it. The way he acted was just supernatural. He did not want anything from me.. so so unusual. After that I did drive carefully and arrived safely home after midnight. By that time I was sure it was an angel sent to protect me, because if he would not be there I would pass the red lights with probably much worse consequences..  I informed my insurance company, but nobody claimed any damage..

We read in the Bible many times how angels protected His chosen ones. If He did it for them, He can do it for me, for you. Psalm 91, 11: For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
