Testimony: William Hilliard
April 10, 2008
The Lord God, King of the Universe, will by His Holy Spirit give His angels charge over you to protect you and help you in your time of need. Have you confessed with your mouth, believing in your heart that this is true? Do you really believe that thousands may fall all around you, but you will be upheld if you love the Lord? Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief.
So many times I have experienced His gracious protection. One of the first times I recall was when I was driving from San Antonio to San Marcos I was driving in the fast lane when a very strong urge came over me to move over to the right lane. Just as I did so, a car came over a hill going the wrong way in the lane I had just left. This has happened several times and I have felt a strong urge to stay to the right or not pass someone, and a car would pop up going the wrong way in the left lane.
Another incident that still gives me chills happened when I was on vacation in New Mexico. I was touring by motorcycle and camping without a tent. I stopped at a campground near Ruidoso. There was only one other camper, a man and wife in a small trailer. I parked my motorcycle about five feet from the foot of my sleeping bag, and bedded down for the night. I had a vivid dream.
I dreamed I was in Alaska and somehow got between a cow moose and her calf—a very dangerous place to be. I started to feel fear when a voice said, “You are protected; you are protected.” I relaxed, but shortly thereafter heard a noise and woke up. My camping gear was scattered, and the motorcycle was on its side. I was cleaning up the mess when the other camper came over and said there was a bear around. I knew the he was right, as some of my gear had teeth marks on it. Well, I crawled back in my sleeping bag and slept soundly. I had been told I was protected. The next morning the other guy came over and told me that the bear had returned, stood on his hind legs and rocked his trailer. His wife was not amused. It, however, did not return to bother me. Luck? No way! I’m certain God’s holy angel stood over me and protected me.
There are times, however, when the Holy Spirit will not prevent something from happening, but He will carry us through. Sometimes we have a lesson to learn or we are being directed in a certain way. Once, according to the report, I hit some black ice (ice that can’t be seen on the pavement) in Texas, and my loaded truck turned over in the median. I was knocked unconscious and air-lifted to the hospital with what turned out to be a mild concussion. The angels prevented a much more serious result. So we are not always kept from trouble, but we are always protected by His might power. Praise His Name.
Confess His mighty power and His great Love. Give Him praise and glory and accept His working in your life. Give your testimony for His great glory.
Keep looking up!
