Testimonies: Modern day supernatural experiences with Christianity – Part 1

Right after 9/11, everyone started questioning Christianity and the presence of God. I wondered myself. I used to attend church regularly, but just wasn’t satisfied with the church I was attending, so I quit.

An event happened to me in October, 2001 that pretty much changed my life forever. I was taking my oldest daughter for a visit to her dad’s house, when we saw smoke in the air above his street. As I turned down his block, we looked to see where the smoke was coming from. The house across the street was on fire. I threw the car up in park, screamed for someone to call 9-1-1, and preceded to run across the street. I reached for the door knob, but it was way too hot, so I ran to the first bedroom window I could find. I pounded on it until finally a child poked his head through the curtains. I asked if his mother was home, he nodded yes, I said “Tell her to get up, the house is on fire!” In a matter of seconds, his mother appeared at another window. I told her “Your house is on fire, you’ve got to get out!” She tried to open the window, but it was stuck. We broke it so they could get out. One by one, she handed me her three children, then it came her turn. She kept telling me “You can’t lift me, I’m too heavy.” I said “Come on, I’ll get you out.” She stepped out onto the window ledge, I lifted up my arms to her, she grabbed hold, and I helped her down. Unfortunately, the family dog didn’t make it out of the fire.

Later, that day when I came to pick up my daughter, the oldest boy ran over to my car and said “You’re the woman that saved us aren’t you?” I said “Yes. Is everyone all right?” He said “Mom cut her arm on the window you busted out and the dog died in the fire. Besides that,

we’re okay. Thank you for helping us.” I told him “You’re welcome.” His mother came over and thanked me as well. When we got home, my youngest daughter told my husband all about how her mother was a hero. My husband couldn’t believe it. I was still in kind of a haze over the whole ordeal.

A couple days later, I was laying down taking a nap, when I heard a voice say to me “Do you want to know how you were able to get that woman out?” I guess in my mind I said yes, because I could see the whole scene in my mind like it was a movie and I was watching it from afar. I was standing there watching and holding a man’s hand while I watched. I saw myself run over to the house, bang on the window, bust out the window, take out each child one by one. Then it came time to help the woman. When I reached up my arms to help the woman, I saw someone or something fly into my arms. Then I helped her down to the ground. I heard this voice “You see, you were not alone. I was right there with you, just waiting for the right time when I was needed to help you.” I started shaking, so I looked up to see the face that belonged to the face-it was Jesus! I burst out into tears and he hugged me. He said “You did great. I was testing you, and you passed. You saved them with a little help from me. You’re going to be all right, now.” I immediately sat up in bed and cried out “Thank you Jesus!” I was still shaking and crying when my husband got home from work. I explained what had happened. He told me I had had an epiphany, a supernatural experience. It has definitely changed my life forever.

I have found a fantastic church that I have been attending now for six years. Jesus has definitely changed me for the better. No telling what could have happened if I hadn’t helped that family. Don’t let anyone tell you that God doesn’t exist or that miracles don’t happen. They do happen.
