Mike,
Your testimony made me think about what Ray told in Nashville conference 2005 « Repentance & Guilty of all »:

« How many of you have ever come this close (thumb and index fingers together) to death and was just instantly spared? How many came really close to doing something really dumb and embarrassing, then something happened and spared you.

I went out on a Sat. night after I had about 3-4 shots of Scotch. In my new Cadillac Coupe DeVille and I was looking for trouble... didn’t find it. I’m serious. I was ready, had my best blazer on, had my Austrian Kangaroo boots on and went out cruising. You know to bars or whatever looking for trouble, you know what I mean. Didn’t find it. It was so frustrating to go home alone, what am I a social failure, you know. But thank God. 

Thank God, there was maybe many, many times when I was hell bent on destruction and God prevented me. Twice, not once but twice, I pulled up at a intersection and I looked to the left and I looked to the right and I pulled out. Swoosh... I mean we were so close the paint changed color, without hitting. I thought, well I just died. God except for Your grace, that’s when I died, right there. Twice I did that. One time I looked and I floored it, so I was coming on across there. Swoosh... I mean I was shaking. I just died. Except for the grace of God, I just died. How many times did that happen when we don’t even know that it is close, you see? »

interesting thread, and something that i have thought about many times over the years, with too many incidents to list.  i hesitate to list any for fear of frightening folks. 

i grew up and live in chicago.  chicago has always been a rough town, and things happen on the streets.  i've been "miraculously" saved from being killed more than once.  surrounded by groups of ten or more people that had intent on killing me, only to have something happen where i was able to escape without a scratch.  i've had people try to use knives on me, broken bottles, attempt to car jack me, and have been shot.  i make no claim to being able to fight, but somehow, in each of these situations, i was able to escape... except for the being shot.  that one left a mark, lol. 

in addition to the above, i was nearly killed in a swimming accident when i was 13 or 14 years old.  but for the grace of God, i would have surely bled to death at the bottom of a swimming pool as a result.  i was nearly killed in a car accident in my early 20s.  out late at night when a drunk driver blew through a red light.  as with the earlier story in this thread told by mike, i believe, i missed being t-boned by a small measure.  the front end of the car i was driving was displaced about half a foot. 

yes, i have experienced miracles in my life.  many, many miracles, and i am grateful to God for every one of them, as they have allowed me to experience the joy of salvation in Christ.  and yes, i believe all things are from The Father, including all of those things i mentioned, and the many, many more that i did not.

Thanks for the testimonies so far.

Tony, it is amazing how much walking in the flesh can produce. I mean, people actively looking out for others to cause harm. That is pretty low. But necessary in this age.

Mitchell, do you think Ray was trying to fight someone? Or kill? Or something else?

Tim, did they get you to a hospital shortly after? You you have any memory at all, not even a "glimpse" of it?

I already have all of them labeled and downloaded. But thanks anyways.

Just haven't listened to what you mentioned yet.
