On the way to breakfast with my dad, I was heading onto a highway entrance ramp. I had driven this ramp many times in my life and never had a problem.
This day when I came to the crest of the circle (it's about 270*), I noticed the car didn't feel right. Then as the car continued in the same direction, I realized that nothing I did had any effect (tapping the brakes, more gas, turning the wheel).
As we begin to spin around, I could see in our rear view mirror that we were heading straight for a big light pole in the ground on the side of the road. We were skidding backwards, heading right for it.
Realizing there was nothing I could do, I then called out, "Jesus, help us!"
We then hit the pole. After getting out, I saw that it only clipped the left rear of the car rather than going straight through the middle like it looked in the mirror.
Also, I had no pain or injuries from the accident.
I know that Jesus helped us by moving the car so we wouldn't be injured, or the car damaged much worse. Simply by putting my faith in Him, realizing there was nothing else I could do in the situation, He came to our rescue and averted great danger.
In addition, when the police came to take the report, he told me that he was supposed to cite me but that he wasn't going to. I believe that was the favor of God as well, freely given grace to add to this testimony of salvation.
I also heard that someone had done the same thing only hours before, indicating there was something on the road making vehicles hydroplane, like an oil slick. Even though I could do nothing to prevent the accident, the Lord helped us through it.
Truly, the Lord Jesus has all authority in heaven and earth, and in Him all things consist. He can move things at His will to prevent catastrophe, and He can guide the hearts of men to bless His people.
Put your trust in Him at all times, especially in these times of trouble and helpless situations.
Discerning Yahweh
God loves us and wants us free from harm. Even when we are doing things related to our daily lives, like eating and so on, He is ready and willing to preserve our lives and bodies.
According as we place our faith in Him as the One Who alone has control over all things, we can be delivered out of any dangerous or fearful situation. He holds all things together, therefore it is a light thing for Him to avert any physical catastrophes.
More so, the fact that He does reveals that He is interested in His creation; He is not sitting in heaven, watching from afar, but is involved in Man's life, especially those joined to His Son.
That Son, ChristJesus, being Yahweh as is the Father, is more than capable of helping and saving us in any situation that endangers our lives or health. Simply calling on Him, trusting He will do as we ask, will cause Him to make good on His promise:
It will happen that whoever will call on the name of Yahweh shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as Yahweh has said, and among the remnant, those whom Yahweh calls. (Joel 2:32)
As you read this site, you will hopefully come to know Yahweh more fully.
But all of this continuing knowledge is useless unless and until you come into union with Him. I use the word union because it is truly a marriage. It is that deep connection we all seek, for which we most often look in other people. However, the truth is that our hearts will only be fulfilled when we enter that union in fullness with the One Who made us.
This is the grace of God, that He has not stayed distant for us only to worship as Creator. But He has come unto us, even become one of us—in His Son, ChristJesus—in order to share an intimate union with us. He desires such closeness that it truly will envelope our entire life, transforming us into something new and wonderful.
You may have already entered this union with Him and only seek to know Him better through reading here. But if you have not, as you do read, let this Gospel sink into your heart as you read it now.
God loves you, and has cast your sins into the sea. He has sent His only Son as the Savior of the world—that includes you.
That Son, JesusChrist, was born as a man through a virgin who had given her life to Yahweh; He lived without sin, reflected the glory of His Father, God, in all His words and deeds, and was persecuted even unto death because of it.
His death upon a cross was the powerful explosion that separated you from your life of death. It remains for you, now, to enter into that death with Him. As you die to the one you are now, a person separated from God from your many sins, you will be born anew, with a nature predisposed to live rightly. This gift is free to you, with nothing you can do to earn it. It is the mercy of God to offer it to you, as He loves you so much! All you must do is receive it by trusting Him to have delivered you. Simply place your life in His hands and embrace the freedom that came through that death on the cross.
The Gospel is that Jesus did not remain dead, but rose again on the third day after His crucifixion! Death could not hold Him, as He was without sin. And so death will not be able to hold you, as you identify with Him fully through your trust in Him. Let go of yourself and confess Him as Lord of your life. The power of His death and resurrection will work in you all that your Creator has destined for you. You will truly enter a new life and experience that intimate union you have been seeking all of your life.
So ponder these words as you read here of this great God—Yahweh—and all that He has revealed to His creation. Let His Spirit testify to your heart that these words are true, that God is Love, and that He sent His Son so that you might receive the life that is unbound by time and space. As you feel that witness in your heart, simply believe and receive what He is offering to you, even now, and begin your new life as a child of God.
Please write to me and let me know when you take this step, as I will be your brother in Christ—we will be one in Him!

19For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God. 20I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. 21I don't make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!" (Galatians 2:19-21)
