Jesus DID come to my Rescue

Hi everyone.

It is purely by God’s grace and love that I am sitting at my PC able to type this to you today.

Yesterday I was held and robbed at knifepoint in my own home. When I could not find the safe keys he got very agressive, swearing at me and promising to kill me over the safe. I have never been more terrified in my life. He kicked me and shoved me around the house to look for the keys all the time the knife was either in my side or against my neck. He dragged me back into the main bedroom and he slapped me hard in the face several times.

I was just praying “God please let me survive this”. Then at some stage I was going past the panic button so I pushed it and he saw me – he turned around fast, punched my face and held the knife at my throat and I managed to push it away gently. Then I said “In the name of Jesus, please let me go and leave me” next thing he pushed me into the bathroom smacked me again and said “wait here”. I thought he was going to look for other stuff so I stayed put praying this declaration :

” In the name and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ I command Satan and all evil spirits to release their hold on me in order that I may be free to know and do the will of God. As a child of God seated with Christ in the Heavenly places, I declare that every enemy of the Lord Jesus Christ in my presence be bound. Satan and all his demons will not inflict any pain nor prevent God’s will from being done in my life today because I belong to the Lord Jesus Christ”. I prayed again that he would leave and I would survive this ordeal. I ventured out the bathroom peering into other rooms and saw he was out the house, quickly locked the door and called the police, my husband and the security company.

I have never been more terrified in my life and hope I never will be again… but I praise God for his Protection and His Love and the knowledge that He would never leave me. Even as I thought I was going to die yesterday I knew that my heart was right with the Lord if it was his plan.

Don’t ever give up on The Lord – keep working on strengthening your relationship, keep thanking him for the big and the little things that are good in your life and most of all, daily ask him to be your strength and your guide.

I praise our Almighty Father!
