This literally happened this weekend and I am shouting it from the rooftops. I hope it will encourage and strengthen you.
I am sure you know as well as I do that the prayers of a godly mother are very powerful and I just witnessed this through my prodigal son Jacob. About a month before this Corona mess started, Jacob gave his life to the Lord because of a mini-miracle that God performed as I was witnessing to him. But that's another story....this one is about how HE got the attention of Jacob's daughter, Leah, through another mini-miracle! Jacob is staying with me temporarily as YAH put a fire in him immediately to leave sin city, (Las Vegas) after rededicating his life to HIM. Because of school being closed, Jacob decided to fly Leah out here for a visit. I had been praying for her and her mother Rachel for years and now I have the golden opportunity to plant some seeds! Last year, Jacob and Leah stayed with us for 2 weeks and Holy Spirit had used me powerfully then but nothing like it is today. Wow! HE is really moving!
On Sunday 5/10/20, we took a road trip to the coast of No. California. Leah, having lived in Colorado all of her life, has rarely had the opportunity to experience the wonders of the California coast. She had been to So. California twice but never up North which in my opinion is superior. However, when we got there we found that the entire coastal area was blocked off. We expected the state beaches to be closed but we thought we would just pull over somewhere and walk down. No! They had every single area that was remotely possible to pull over blocked off with traffic cones and caution tape. They didn't even want anyone to pull over and stand on a bluff. Talk about control! It didn't make any sense at all! The whole thing is preposterous anyhow but seriously folks! How can people truly believe that you can catch a virus at the beach with the wind blowing? Doesn't anyone do their own homework? They were driving around everywhere with their trusty masks on even the children! That is dangerous; they are breathing in their own waste and it doesn't prevent sickness but can certainly cause it! After about 30 miles of this nonsense, Jacob pulled off the road into the weeds and we walked into an area that was closed but still accessible. It was at an old Russian establishment called Fort Ross that was turned into a history museum. There wasn't any "No Trespassing" signs, just the familiar sheet of copy paper we keep seeing that said, "Closed due to Covid-19". I would have obeyed the closed sign under normal circumstances but I felt the Lord tell me that it was in HIS will to continue on. We walked through the parking lot and found a trail down to the water. It was such a beautiful walk down full of flowers and tree's; such a blessing. As we walked we noticed several seals on the rocks below and they were watching us. One followed us as we made our way to the bottom and he kept popping his head up out of the water. So CUTE! We didn't stay long, only about 30 minutes but as we made our way back through the parking lot, we see a sheriff up ahead unlocking the gate and coming in. Jacob and Leah were about 30 feet ahead of me and they were thinking the same thing as I was; Oh boy, we're in trouble now! I was thinking about what I was going to say in our defense when I witnessed something amazing! Jacob and Leah being humbled and resigned to make the first statement, walked toward the vehicle and was about, no kidding, six feet away and he just drove past them without even looking! It was as if the cop didn't even see them! I just figured that he was after me so I walked toward him and was about 15 feet from his vehicle and he also passed me by without even a glance! There is no chance that he couldn't see with me in his peripheral vision unless the Lord willed it. I was wearing white pants and a bright red sweatshirt. We were shocked and I just kept thanking the Lord over and over and we just sat in the car laughing for a few minutes until it dawned on me...I prayed for it that morning without even being aware. I said to Jacob "Do you remember what I prayed for this morning?" He said no. I said "In the middle of my prayers I said, Father please hide us from the enemy and Israel said "Yeah! Make us invisible" and then we chuckled before we continued on with our prayers." It was a very simple and innocent request but HE moved on our behalf because of it! It didn't take long to see the wheels turning in Leah's mind. She is going to be 14 this month and at a very impressionable age. She didn't even try to dismiss it as coincidence, it was amazing!
But wait....there's more! We drove back the way we came and had lunch before preceding on our way up the coast. We were enjoying the ride but it wasn't enough for Jacob. Although we made it down to the water before, it was full of rocks that we had to climb over. He wanted to take his daughter to the beach and no one was going to stop him! He saw a beautiful stretch of beach ahead of us and pulled between the cones and parked. I decided to stay in the car and wait for them so I could at least move the car at the first sign of trouble. I kept an eye out at first but got distracted by Utube and didn't notice when another cop pulled up in between 2 cars that decided to do the same thing. He was harassing everyone in the cars and walked over and barked at the people that had started taking pictures on the side of the road. He was pointing his fingers angrily at them but never even looked in my direction. Just then, Jacob and Leah walked up the path and right to the car without anyone including the cop looking in their direction. I know...I was watching the whole thing! Even when we passed the cop car as we were leaving, he never looked up. HALLELUJAH!! HE IS FAITHFUL! Talk about Psalm 91 in action! Almost unbelievable but we know that with God EVERYTHING is possible. The thing that kept coming to our minds was the fact that the enemy couldn't see us but the seals sure did! We laughed so hard about that!
So you can clearly see and know that all things work together for good to them that love God! When we came home that evening, Leah started asking questions about God and we have been ministering to her ever since. The breakthrough is coming! There's no doubt in my mind that YAH has great plans for this sweet, innocent and beautiful soul. So for those who are still praying for lost family and friends let this be an encouragement that the breakthrough you have been praying for IS on it's way! HE is using this Corona fiasco to wake up HIS church! Let this be a witness to you and do what you do best....PRAY! Love you guys! Ariel
Thank you for sharing Arielle. This is kind of a confirmation to a very similar experience I made a few weeks ago. I drove into a new development area. I go there to spend time alone and in prayer, and I call a dear friend in Christ for prayer too. it is always an amazing time. That area is quiet after working hours, no cars, no people, nothing. I like that when I pray. One of those evenings I suddenly saw a police car racing in my direction. Since there were no other people or cars anywhere in the entire neighborhood I was sure he was coming for me. I was not sure if I did something wrong and started to ponder what I would say. The police car came right up to me but kept on driving, he made a u-turn by my car and left. I could then see him going up and down some other streets looking for something. At that moment it hit me, I felt like that cop never saw me even though he drove right past me. He would have affected and possible cancelled the prayer session that evening, and that was no small deal, for the Lord revealed to me that same prayer session something that was extremely important for my loved ones. That was a big revelation, and if that cop would have seen me I would have missed that. Your post just confirmed to me this is what happened, for in both cases it was the police that came right by us and never saw us. God is so amazing. I can't stop praising His Name!
On May 26, 2020, I woke up a few times (I think at least 3 times) singing the same song in my head...”Your Wings” by Lauren Daigle. This song wasn’t one I particularly liked and have never chosen to play it. I’ve only heard it a few times so when I woke up so many times singing it I knew it was the Lord. These are the words that kept playing in my head: ‘You’ve got me under your wings, under You’re wings, I’m under, I’m under Your Wings. You got me. You cover me, You cover me. I’m under, I’m under Your wings.“ God often speaks to me through songs since I am a worshipper/singer. I often wake up to songs playing in my head that I haven’t heard in a long time but speak to the situation I’m in or about to be in. That’s why I think it’s Jesus. This song is now one of my favorites! God is definitely doing something. We need not fear. We are hidden in the shadow of the All Mighty, under His wings.
I love this!!! We have such an amazing Father and His promises are true to those who trust in Him and PRAY! ASK! Love it...glory glory!
Praise the Lord, He does answer the prayers of a faithful mother!!
i have read your amazing witnessing, several times for it struck a chord within me how the Lord works in mysterious ways and makes the impossible, possible when beliefs are strong and not tainted with doubts.
Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one. Hallelujah
thank you for sharing your amazing odyssey protected by the Lord. Amen
