Paul Keith Davis: "A Vision of the Coming Days"

by Paul Keith Davis
Apr 15, 2009

On July 31, 2008 while in Red Deer, Alberta Canada for a conference, the Lord took me into a very interesting and enlightening revelatory experience. It was approximately 3 o'clock in the afternoon after spending considerable time in preparation for the evening service. My subject was one that I had been diligently studying for several months involving the Lord's admonition saying:
"For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be."—Matthew 24:37-39
The Lord spoke to me clearly saying, "It would behoove you to understand as much as possible concerning the days of Noah; what overcame Noah's day, your generation must overcome." As a result of that charge I have been consumed with passion to fully understand Genesis 6 and its relationship to the days ahead.
While sitting on the couch in my hotel room in Red Deer, I was contemplating the Biblical implications of Genesis 6 in relationship to our day when suddenly I went into a revelatory encounter. I found myself in the Spirit standing in an evangelistic crusade being conducted on a football field. My first observation involved the people riveted to a message that was being preached from a podium on the field. I then clearly recognized the voice of the evangelist...it was the great Billy Graham preaching the Cross of Jesus Christ as only he could.
I was able to recognize the people's attire resembled that from the 1960s. I could hear Dr. Graham presenting his anointed message from the four spiritual laws as complete silence filled the auditorium with the exception of his voice. Then I could hear the song "Just As I Am" being played as hundreds responded to his invitation and began quietly and orderly making their way to the altar.
Then a Voice spoke in the vision saying, "What is coming will not be like this!" With that statement I knew the coming revival would clearly have a strong evangelistic anointing like I heard from Dr. Graham, but also of a different nature that facilitated a compelling demonstration of the Spirit's power producing reverential awe and conviction according to 1 Thessalonians 1:5 saying:
"For our Gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake."
With that statement I found myself standing in a large auditorium with a considerable altar area filled with the sick and afflicted on cots, gurneys and wheelchairs. To my amazement the entire altar was filled with the sick on a scale I have only seen in pictures from past revivals. To my right I noticed a man lying on a cot whose bones were twisted like pretzels. Further to the right, another man was seated in a wheelchair with his legs elevated and his feet curled under by a hideous bone disease. Beside him a man was lying on a gurney with a large tumor protruding from his abdomen.
I actually felt encouragement from this scene derived from the faith that permeated the atmosphere. These people were here because of the expectation and anticipation of God's Presence to heal and deliver. Suddenly with that realization, the double doors of the sanctuary burst open and a family of approximately ten people came through the doors escorting what appeared to be a young teenage girl that was clearly demonized. I watched as she was screaming, cursing and throwing grown men around like rag dolls.
Then one of the men in the family spoke with a very demanding tone saying, "Somebody had better be here that can deal with this." With that statement I could sense the family's desperation for God's intervention. They had tried every other alternative possible with no success. Only the power and authority of Christ could help this family.
As the family made their way up the aisle I walked towards them with the profound awareness that there was no time to call for a host of intercessors nor was there time to pray and fast. It was like a Mount Carmel showdown between light and darkness requiring that we call upon God's grace and manifest Presence resident in us to meet this incredible need. I was immediately reminded of the Lord's confrontation with the demoniac of Gadara. I was also thoroughly convinced that a mere spiritual gift, as wonderful as spiritual gifts may be, was not sufficient to overcome this level of darkness. It required "Christ in me, the hope of glory."
As I walked toward the family my spiritual eyes were opened in the experience and I could see an evil being occupying this young girl that seemed to be approximately 12 feet tall. It was then I remembered my study concerning Genesis 6 and the Lord's admonition that the day of His coming would be just as it was in the days of Noah. I knew that I was dealing with a being in the spiritual realm that had its origin in Genesis 6. What overcame Noah's day in the natural, we must overcome in the Spirit!
Suddenly, a realm of authority rose up within me that I knew transcended present understanding of spiritual authority. Out of my mouth the words, "Be gone," proceeded with great power and authority. As quickly as the words were spoken the spirit left the young girl. Of course, I realize this was a teaching experience to illustrate the authority we must aspire to and demonstrate in this generation to meet the great demands and level of darkness that will define the final days before the Lord's return. It is the realm of Christ's authority that the Bride must come to know in fullness in order to gather the great harvest.
As soon as the evil being left the young girl, the entire family came under the spirit of conviction and gave their lives to the Lord. Then I heard the Voice speaking again saying, "What has previously been relegated to India and Africa is coming to America and somebody had better get authority with Me and in a hurry."

A Prayer for Protection

Throughout the Bible we are constantly reminded to “fear not.” It is not God’s will that we live in anxiety or fear, ever. Remember, He is well able to protect you, your family and all who take a stand on His Word. The following is a prayer based totally on Scripture. Put yourself and God in remembrance of His Word and know that the only “safe” place there will ever be is under His protection.
Father, in the Name of Jesus, I thank You that You watch over Your Word to perform it.
Father, I praise You that I dwell in the secret place of the Most High and that I shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty—whose power no foe can withstand. I will say of You, Lord, “The Lord is my refuge and my fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I confidently trust!”
For then You will deliver me from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. Then You will cover me with Your feathers, and under Your wings shall I trust and find refuge. Your truth and Your faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.
Father, You are my confidence, firm and strong. You keep my foot from stumbling, being caught in a trap, or hidden danger.
Father, You give me safety and ease me. I know You will keep me in perfect peace because my mind is stayed on You and I trust in You. I thank You, Lord, that I may lie down and You will give me peaceful sleep, for You sustain me and make me dwell in safety.
I shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.
A thousand may fall at my side, and ten thousand at my right hand, but it shall not come near me. Only a spectator shall I be—inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High—as I witness the reward of the wicked.
Because I have made You, Lord, my refuge, and the Most High my dwelling place, there shall no evil befall me, nor any plague come near my tent. For You will give Your angels especial charge over me, to accompany and defend and preserve me in all my ways of obedience and service. They are encamped around about me. Your angels shall bear me up on their hands, lest I dash my foot against a stone.
I shall tread upon the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent shall I trample underfoot. Because I have set my love upon You, therefore will You deliver me. You will set me on high, because I know and understand Your Name.
I have a personal knowledge of Your mercy, love and kindness. I trust and rely on You, knowing You will never forsake me, no, never. I shall call upon You, and You will answer me. You will be with me in trouble. You will deliver me and honor me. With long life will You satisfy me and show me Your salvation!
Continue to feast and meditate on this prayer for yourself and for your loved ones. Speaking it daily will allow the Word of God concerning protection to reach deep into your spirit.

Saw Jesus Raise the Dead



“Now when he [Jesus] came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. And he came and touched the bier: they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. He that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he [Jesus] delivered him to his mother.” (Luke 7:12-15)

Jesus raised the dead many times while He walked on Planet Earth. (Mark 5:35-43; John 11:1-44) The Apostles Peter and Paul raised the dead. (Acts 9:36-43; 20:9-12) In the Old Testament the dead were raised. (2Kings 4:18-37; 13:21) Since God is able to raise the dead, certainly He is able to help you with any obstacle that may stand before you today.

One Sunday afternoon after conducting a church service I walked into a bookstore on the campus of a large University in the Midwestern United States. I had been to this particular bookstore many times in the past looking for old Bible translations and was familiar with the young manager. He was quite an oppressed fellow indeed. Someone had once told me he was very involved in occult practices. One could tell by looking that he had given himself over completely to Satan and demon powers.

As I walked into the bookstore, he was standing and talking to some friends. I stepped between him and one of his friends to gain access to the store. As I did so, I heard a loud, almost inhuman grunting sound. I turned back to see where it was coming from when I noticed this young man had fallen backwards to the floor. The sound of his head slamming on the floor was sickening.

My heart filled with compassion as I dropped to my knees beside him. His friend did the same. As I proceeded to check for a pulse at his wrist, his friend did the same at his neck. I leaned over to check for evidence of breathing and a heartbeat. There was none. His friend began shouting hysterically, “He’s dead. He’s dead. He’s dead.”

Neither of us could detect heartbeat, breathing or a pulse as he turned a most horrible ashen gray. Suddenly a mighty force came upon me. I found myself dragging him around the counter and sitting him on a little footstool in the corner. Such a super human strength came upon me it seemed the man was light as a feather. His head and arms fell forward lifelessly back onto the floor like a giant rag doll as I balanced him there. I then heard myself say, “Satan, loose this man in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

The man sneezed three times and inhaled so deeply that it sounded like a powerful vacuum had been turned on. (2Kings 4:35) As if someone inflated him with air, he sat suddenly upright on that footstool, staring at me as if I were the first human being he’d ever seen.

I looked up at his friend from my kneeling position and he, too, was staring at me -- in absolute terror! He backed away from me in fear, exiting the store, never even stopping to talk to his stunned living friend! Little did he realize that I wasn’t the one who was supplying the power to perform this miracle. Jesus, the Giver and Restorer of Life, was. I did a little thing, speaking the words that came into my heart. Jesus did a big thing and sent that man’s spirit back into his body.

I’m not telling you I raised a man from the dead that day, independent of the power of God. I’m not crazy! I’m telling you that I simply went along for the ride while Creator God supplied the power to raise the dead that day. (John 14:10,12)

I’m also suggesting that you not make the same mistake that former dead man made. He would not allow me to tell him about Jesus after that supernatural event. He actually rejected the Miracle Worker.

Say aloud, “Jesus, I receive Your Lordship” and the door to the miraculous will open to you. (Romans 10:13) Things will stop happening TO you and start happening FOR you.

If God can raise the dead, He can fix the living, real easy! If you believe, that is. (Luke 1:37)

Be Blessed … John and Barbara Hamel

I Saw Jesus Raise the Dead

Expect Your Miracle​

It’s the Secret to Life
by Pastor John Hamel​

“Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by MIRACLES and wonders and signs … ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom God has raised up having loosed the pains of death…” (Acts 2:22-24)
Miracles. Do you believe in them? I do. I am a Miracle. Over two decades ago I was a drug addict and overall, one beat down, miserable human person. I thought God was mad at me and I was mad at everyone else. One day I heard a “Televangelist” that I used to mock say, “If you are addicted to drugs and you think God is mad at you, YOU ARE WRONG! Jesus loves you and will set you free if you will just ask Him.”
Well, I did as the man said and asked. As I lay there in my living room, all alone, a giant hand was placed on my head three times and I slipped into unconsciousness. As I lay there for NEARLY THREE FULL DAYS, I did not dream, change positions, eat or drink. All bodily functions ceased, SUPERNATURALLY. Towards the end of the third day, I regained consciousness to discover that I was free from the oppression of drugs! I’ve been telling everyone, everywhere, ever since about Jesus’ Miracle Power!
Since that day, I have witnessed many miracles, including the raising of a dead man back to life. God even gave me a friendship with a Miracle man, Rev. Roscoe Ronald Coyne, who has now gone on to Heaven. This man had an eye surgically removed as a child. Through miracle prayer, Jesus gave him the ability to see through an empty eye socket! Keep in mind; this is not someone I heard about. This is someone I came to know personally.
One day he sat on my Church platform and removed his plastic eyeball. I folded a handkerchief eight times and placed it over his existing good eye. I then taped it in place, using a half roll of adhesive tape. Practically every person in that congregation came forth that day, handing him something to read. He read birth certificates, newspapers, magazines, a nursing certificate, etc. ALL THROUGH AN EMPTY EYE SOCKET.
Brother Coyne once explained to me that he could see through that empty eye socket twenty-four and seven, EVEN WHEN THE PLASTIC EYEBALL WAS IN THE SOCKET. This was a true Miracle of God. The Almighty simply overrode and suspended the Laws of Nature, allowing Brother Coyne to see with his spiritual eyeball.
You may have seen Brother Coyne during one of his multiple appearances on Oprah Winfrey, Phil Donahue, Geraldo Rivera, Sally Jesse Raphael, etc. This man led untold millions to Jesus by demonstrating this Miracle during 43 years of worldwide Ministry! His name is Roscoe Ronald Coyne from Tulsa, Oklahoma. You can easily find his testimony on the Internet.
So when someone foolishly declares to me, “Miracles don’t happen anymore. They are all over!” I say, “They’re ‘all over’. They are happening ‘all over’ the Earth. You don’t get to see them because God knows you don’t believe in them. He’s honoring your free will.”
The Bible says that Jesus is the same today as He was yesterday. It also says He will never change. (Hebrews 13:8) He is as much of a Miracle Worker today as He was in Bible days. He still performs Miracles for three primary reasons.
First, He wants to Glorify His Father. (Matthew 9:1-8)
Second, He wants the world to know He is their one and only Savior. (Acts 10:38)
Third, He wants to help you out of any difficulty you are experiencing simply because He loves you! (John 10:10)
However, He simply cannot help you with a Miracle if you do not believe He will. (Mark 6:1-6) The Bible says the only way we can please Him is by EXPECTING MIRACLES. (Hebrews 11:6)
Everywhere my wife and I go in life and in Ministry, we tell people, “God is never your problem. God is always your solution. He made you for Miracles and He made Miracles for you. The SECRET to a prosperous, healthy, joyful life is EXPECTING MIRACLES!”
If you have not yet made the Miracle Worker, Jesus, Lord of your life, just say, “Jesus, You’re my choice” and He’ll induct you into the world of Miracles. (Romans 10:13)
Then tell Him that you not only believe in Miracles but that He is welcome to intervene with Miracles on your behalf.
When you do, get ready for a parade of Miracles!

Be blessed ... John and Barbara Hamel


I found this here.. Expect Your Miracle

The Pastor and his son

Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts.

This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, "OK, dad, I'm ready."

His Pastor dad asked, "Ready for what?"
"Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out."
Dad responds, "Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring down rain."

The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, "But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?"

Dad answers, "Son, I am not going out in this weather."

Despondently, the boy asks, "Dad, can I go? Please?"

His father hesitated for a moment then said, "Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, be careful son."

"Thanks Dad!"

And with that, he was off and out into the rain. This eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract.

After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted.

Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang the door bell.. He rang the bell, but nobody answered....
He rang it again and again, but still no one answered.
He waited but still no answer.

Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something stopped him....

Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch He rang again and this time the door slowly opened.

Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, "What can I do for you, son?" With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that *JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU* and I came to give you myvery last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE."

With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave.

She called to him as he departed. "Thank you, son! And God Bless You!"

Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit.

As the service began, he asked, "Does anybody have testimony or want to say anything?

Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet.

As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, "No one in this church knows me. I've never been here before.

You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world.
Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live.

So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home.... I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck. Standing on that chair, so lonely and brokenhearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, "I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away."

I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly.

I thought to myself again, "Who on earth could this be?
Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me." I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.

When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you!

The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, "Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU."
Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand.

As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them any more.

You see---I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract, I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell."

There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honor to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated.

He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.

Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love & honor for his son... Except for One.

Our Father also allowed His Son to go out into a cold and dark world.. He received His Son back with joy unspeakable, and as all of heaven shouted praises and honor to The King, the Father sat His beloved Son on a throne far above all principality and power and every name that is named.

Blessed are your eyes for reading this message.

During church in Pemba, Mozambique, a totally blind muslim man recieves prayer for healing in the name of Jesus...and gets totally healed!!! This miracle happened right in front of my eyes...this muslim man not only recieved physical sight, but he got saved and baptized in Jesus' name! Just as in the book of Acts, God confirms His gospel through signs and wonders through the hands of His Church.

God's Miraculous Protection of 4-Year-Old Gabriel Who Used a Live Rattlesnake as a Toy

by Aimee Herd-BCN Exclusive : May 1, 2009 : BCN


"…these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." –Mark 16:17-18

(North Port, Florida)—I was contacted this week by a mother of 7 who shared such an amazing testimony of God's sovereign protection over her child that I had to pass it on.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

[/FONT]Jack and Carolyn Kauffman's "fearless" 4-year-old Gabriel found a new playmate recently, in a venomous Diamondback Rattlesnake. Unbeknownst to Carolyn, Gabriel was actually petting the potentially deadly snake; laying it on his shoulder. (File Photo: a similar rattlesnake)
Later, Carolyn asked her son to show her—using a necklace—just how he was handling the snake. She says, "He laid [the necklace] on his shoulder and it kept falling off, so he told it he was 'sorry.'"
Gabriel told her, "That's why it didn't bite me, it was so cute!"
Fortunately, Gabriel's brother Austin (11) saw what was happening and "grabbed [the snake] off of Gabriel's shoulder using a black blanket. He then slid the rattlesnake into a plastic storage container, covered it with the blanket as it began to rattle, and—telling his brothers and sisters to "get back"—he brought it to his mother.
Carolyn recalled the snake, "It had the viper head, the black tip of its tail followed by a little rattle, the diamonds on its back, and the almost raccoon-like mask by its eyes.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

[/FONT]"I stared at it for quite a while; first in disbelief that it was moments ago in my son's hands, and then in awe that God had preserved my son's safety. Think about it. You go into the woods, and most of the time if you come across these snakes they can bite your foot, leg, hands...things that can get first aid and a good chance of survival. My son was 4. It could have bitten his face, neck, or shoulder. How do you apply a tourniquet to that? He would be dead if God hadn't intervened." (Photo: Gabriel and Austin)
Carolyn shared her feelings of the moment she saw the rattlesnake, and learned how her son had been playing with it…
"I was in awe; I knew immediately that it was God who protected him. I told all the kids to go inside except Austin; I stared at [the snake] for a while. I wasn't afraid; I had a very deep peace.
"I hugged him and thanked him for being so brave, and told him how it was a miracle; then went in the house to explain once again to Gabriel not to touch snakes."

I asked Carolyn what she thought God might be saying to her through this experience. She replied, "I had been struggling with my own sense of worth as a mother; having so many [children] and not being able to be everywhere at once. God showed me that even when I am not there, He is. I can trust Him with my greatest treasure, my children, and I can begin that by not worrying so much—by not allowing myself to think of the "what ifs" all day long. I am not saying 'let 'em all loose and take a nap,' but I am saying, 'I will do my best and let God cover my shortcomings.'"
Carolyn and her family have not only been blessed by God's protection, but also His provision, as they will be moving into the first 5-bedroom Habitat for Humanity home in Sarasota. Carolyn adds that the "favor of God is limitless," and that her "family is so blessed."

One Amazing Miracle in Manitoba

by Aimee Herd/David Henry : May 12, 2009 : BCN


"What happened that day at the intersection of the Perimeter Highway and Saskatchewan Avenue was an authentic miracle… The laws of thermodynamics were momentarily superseded by a higher law. It had much more to do with the faith and prayers of a few ordinary people inviting God's intervening hand, in Jesus' name, to protect him on the road in a way that no one else can do…"

(Winnipeg, Manitoba)—If you think miracles documented in the New Testament don't really happen anymore, you'll want to read the following story. Phillip may not have been the only one to be "transported" by the Holy Spirit, as Minnesotan trucker Roger Henry can testify. Read this remarkable account—written by his brother David—of what happened as Roger approached an icy intersection in Winnipeg one wintery day, just months ago.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

[/FONT][January, 2009] Roger Henry, a seasoned trucker based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota has many years of driving experience on the icy roads of Minnesota and Canada. He works for a large international trucking firm. This particular day he was driving a B-Train. It's a seven-axle, twenty-six wheel, two-trailer monster weighing in at over 56,000 kg. (80,000 pounds) when fully loaded. (Photo: Roger Henry)
Roger had just driven his rig north from the Twin Cities and was now headed back home with a large return load. The pavement was dry that day, so he set his speed at the 100 km per hour limit and prepared to make the familiar trip down to the North Dakota border and on south to home.
Roger and his wife Joyce are Christians. As a matter of habit and conviction, they pray in the name of Jesus and simply ask God to protect him as he travels a route that in a split second can turn deadly. In fact, Sandy Atkinson, a Jewish Christian friend of the Henry's, prays every day specifically for Roger to be kept safe as he plies his potentially dangerous trade. This day he would cash in those prayers; he would need all the help he could get.
Manitoba 101, The Perimeter Highway, is well-engineered for safety. On some of its crossings it has yellow blinking lights that forewarn drivers of their safe passage through the next traffic light. It's either, a yellow blinking, 'no'—you must prepare to stop at the next light, or the switched off light indicating 'yes'—you are safe to proceed.
Roger had his rig humming in high gear and relaxed as much as is reasonable into the familiar routine. He was headed south on the west side of Winnipeg, when he approached the next intersection at Perimeter Highway and Saskatchewan Avenue. He observed the yellow light was 'off', giving him the right-of-way through the intersection. He stayed in the right lane. Ominously, off to his right, his eyes locked on to a black four-door sedan traveling from the west at a high rate of speed that indicated someone wasn't paying attention. Roger quickly calculated that the driver could not possibly stop in time for the red light controlling the east-west traffic flow.

[/FONT]The sedan driver finally skidded to a stop, dead center in the middle of the right hand, southbound lane. Roger's loaded B-Train was hurtling through the intersection into the broadside of the black sedan at 100 km miles per hour. Roger had no time to maneuver his big rig into the left lane. He couldn't steer it into that lane without flipping it over or jack-knifing. (Photo: Intersection from satellite view)
There was no time to stop. Air brakes on a big rig are slower to respond than car brakes. It takes a moment of time to develop sufficient air pressure to even begin to slow the giant down. Roger did not have the luxury of those few seconds. Do the math. Study the physics. That sedan driver had to die.
Roger describes what happened as entering briefly into a state of suspended consciousness. He did not faint or pass out. In Roger's words, "My screen went blank." His hands were on the steering wheel but someone had control of his truck for about two seconds. He did not steer into the left lane. He couldn't. He could not veer to the right. It would have been like playing 'crack-the-whip' with a huge load of steel and freight. He could neither change directions nor vary his speed. It was impossible. The distance between his truck's front bumper and the side of the car was roughly twenty five yards. While the front tires were aligned straight ahead, the whole 82.5 feet of the truck were instantly moved sideways into the left lane. To get into the left lane by means of the steering wheel would have meant a flipped truck.
An engineer was asked to calculate the foot pounds of energy contained in the mass and velocity of that truck. He wrote:

"The linear or translational momentum of a particle (mass = truck here) is defined as the product of its mass x velocity (100 km/hr). That is 5,650 tons momentum, in metric tons. Since one metric ton is 1,000 kilogram, and 1 kg is 2.205 lbs, the same momentum is 12,458,000 lbs." -Joe Horvath, PhD.

So much energy going straight forward would not allow the truck to swerve into the left land if Roger had attempted it. He would have taken out the black sedan plus several other vehicles with the flipped tractor and two trailers. While Roger's screen went blank, the only explanation left us is that God moved the whole truck in its north/south alignment 7 meters over into the left lane. When Roger's 'screen came back on' he found himself 100 meters through the intersection in the left land and gradually heading for the right shoulder. But, he did not so much as touch the black sedan. No screeching sound of steel exploding on steel and glass. No fire. No smoke. Nothing. He came back to his normal senses on the south side of Saskatchewan Avenue. Most unusual of all, Roger had no sense of fear, no panic, no adrenaline rush, no rapid beating of his heart. He was aware of a profound sense of peace all about him; and in him.

Roger quickly down shifted and pulled off to the right shoulder of the highway and got out of his truck. He stood there and looked back north at the crossing from 150 meters away. The black sedan was still there. It was parked right where Roger should have blown through it. All traffic had stopped. It takes something unusual to change the routine of drivers hurrying to work in bone-chilling weather. What they saw motivated them. About twenty witnesses were stopped. Three or four drivers got out of their cars and began to gather around the car to inspect it. The witnesses to this event were trying to make sense of what they had just seen.

As Roger watched, the light changed and the driver in the black car drove slowly away to the east toward the city. After assessing what he had just lived through without any damage to either vehicle, Roger made his way back into the truck and sat there for a while collecting his thoughts. He is a down-to-earth, laid back, professional trucker with a good sense of humor. But that day, he saw the curtain pulled back for just a few seconds; he saw into another dimension.
Roger has searched for a word to explain what happened to him. He said that the best he can explain it is he was, "transported" in the sense of Phillip the Evangelist in the eighth chapter verses 39 and 40, of the Book of Acts in the Bible. Phillip was ministering to the Ethiopian Eunuch who had just been baptized in Gaza. At the completion of that ministry, he found himself the next moment transported to a location eighteen miles to the north along the Mediterranean shore and a new ministry assignment. Phillip was 'seized' or 'caught away' from Gaza and 'found himself' in Azotus. Roger was seized from the right lane where death was, and found himself in the left lane and a good distance ahead where safety was. The Greek New Testament verb is "Harpadzo", the same verb that is employed in the English concept of rapture or a 'catching away'. Roger experienced what we might call a mini-rapture. He and the other driver were in imminent danger. Roger was covered in prayer. He was caught away from or seized out of danger. To redirect, or reposition that much rolling energy in a such surgically precise fashion required a greater amount of power than the force in the vehicle's mass and velocity.

Webster's Dictionary defines a miracle as, "1. ...an event or effect that contradicts known scientific laws and is hence thought to be due to supernatural causes, especially to an act of God."

What happened that day at the intersection of the Perimeter Highway and Saskatchewan Avenue was an authentic miracle. Roger is a good truck driver; a very good one. He has amassed over three million miles of truck driving without an accident. That is testimony to consistently good judgment in all kinds of situations. But what happened on that patch of pavement had nothing to do with his skill or ability. The laws of thermodynamics were momentarily superseded by a higher law. It had much more to do with the faith and prayers of a few ordinary people inviting God's intervening hand, in Jesus' name, to protect him on the road in a way that no one else can do. Some old-timers call it, 'being prayed up'. Their months and years of prayers had gone ahead of him.

A lot of things pass for news that are no real news. And some things that are so astounding as to defy explanation go by and no one records it; no one tells the story. This true story is being told. There was a miracle in Winnipeg that day, on the Perimeter Highway. God did intervene; something holy, powerful and good happened on a cold Canadian winter's day. There is a person or persons who are alive right now who should not be. But they are. They might consider humbly giving thanks to Someone who, when asked in faith, does the impossible.
