God Saved Me From an Accident on the Expressway – Another Miracle!

My Car Stopped Dead on the Expressway!

Here is another miracle!  God saved me from an accident on the Expressway.  One day when I was driving to the subdivision where I worked, my car began sputtering and jerking – and then it stopped dead! I was horrified! Here I was on the expressway with cars whizzing past me at 70 miles an hour and my car just died!

I Was Going to Get Hit!

I glanced in my rear-view mirror with horror as a car came barreling toward me, then swerved to avoid plowing into me. I was in an absolute panic! I looked at my gas gauge and it was registering empty. How could that be? I knew I had plenty of gas when I left my home. I’ve never run out of gas in my life; what was going on here?

I Couldn’t Get Out of the Car!

I put on my emergency blinkers and opened my door to step out, and almost got my door knocked off by a speeding car!  I quickly slammed my door shut. Cars were swerving all over the place trying to avoid hitting me!

I Said a Prayer to God and He Responded Instantly

I broke out in a cold sweat!  I knew if I didn’t do something quickly, I was going to get hit or killed! I put my hands on the steering wheel and said, “God, You have to start my car. I don’t know how I could have been so stupid to not notice I needed gas, but I’m here and I’m stuck. If You don’t start my car, I know I’m going to get killed!”

My Car Started Immediately and God Saved Me From an Accident!

I took a deep breath and turned the key – AND MY CAR STARTED IMMEDIATELY!  I breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank You so much, Lord.”  A verse popped into my head (Psalm 16:1), “Keep me safe, O God, for in You I take refuge.”  I drove up to the next exit and pulled into a service station to get gas.

This was in the days when attendants still pumped your gas for you, so I asked the attendant to fill it up. I looked out of my side mirror and watched as he removed the nozzle and placed it in my gas tank.  He stood there for a minute, then stopped and looked down at the ground. What was he doing?

I Had a Hole in My Gas Tank!

I watched in bewilderment as he took the nozzle back out of my gas tank and hung it up, then he got down on his hands and knees and started peering up under my car. What in the world was he doing?

He finally stood up and came over to me and said, “Lady, you have a HOLE IN YOUR GAS TANK. When I tried to pump gas into it, it poured out all over the ground. How in the world did you make it in here with no gas in your car?”

I was stunned! A hole in my gas tank? Well, that certainly explained it. “Oh Lord, thank You, thank You!” I smiled at the attendant and said, “It was a real miracle that I made it in here, wasn’t it? Can you fix it for me?”

I Was Filled with Wonder and Gratitude to God

The attendant assured me they could fix my car and gave me a ride to my subdivision. I sat there in my model home shaking my head in wonderment. I played the scene over and over in my mind.

How could I ever doubt that God will absolutely, positively answer every single prayer I make? He just started a car that had no gas in it! In the physical world, cars don’t drive without gas. In the spiritual world, anything is possible!

I Relayed My Miracle to My Sales Manager

While I was sitting there thinking about this incident, my Sales Manager came in and sat down. He looked at me and knew something was wrong. He said, “What’s the matter? You look funny.”

I related the incident of the past hour. When I finished telling him how I prayed to God to start my car, and it did, he got a look of disbelief on his face and said, “Come on, Kathy, you know God didn’t start your car. Obviously, you had gas in it.”

I said, “But I had a hole in the gas tank, there was no gas in the car!”  He rolled his eyes and said, “There was gas in the car.”  Why argue? He didn’t want to believe. We discussed his business with me, and he left.

You Must BELIEVE to Receive a Miracle

I shook my head after he left and said, “Lord, now I understand why more people don’t experience miracles in their life. If they don’t believe, they don’t receive.”  I told everybody I knew about my experience and watched with bewilderment as person after person rolled their eyes and said the same thing, “Come on, Kathy, you know there was gas in your car.”

As I look back on this terrifying incident, I remember that I JUST KNEW that if I asked, God or my Guardian Angel Darius would start my car.  And He did!  I drove about 3 miles to the next exit WITH NO GAS IN THE CAR!

God Saved Me From an Accident a Second Time

A few years later when I was running my mortgage training institute, I got a call from the owner of a mortgage company who wanted to talk to me about doing some training for his employees. We scheduled an appointment for the next day.

 I Had a Flat Tire!

The next morning, I went out to get in my car, AND I HAD A FLAT TIRE! I was so mad! I kicked the tire and went back inside to call the service station up the road to come and tow it in to fix the flat.  I called my appointment and told him what happened and told him I would get there just as soon as possible. He wasn’t very nice about it. I thought, “Give me a break! I can’t help that I had a flat tire!”

I Was Filled with Anger

After the service station tow truck towed in my car and fixed the flat, I got in and took off for my appointment. I was running about 45 minutes late and I was mad!

I was banging the steering wheel while I barreled down the expressway grumbling, “Why did I have to have a flat tire today? Why couldn’t it happen when I didn’t have an appointment? This could be a big fee for me! Now the guy’s mad; maybe he won’t want to do business with me now…” and on and on.

God Spoke OUT LOUD to Me!

When I finally shut up and calmed down a little, I smiled and said, “Oh well, Lord, sometimes things can’t be helped, right? I should be grateful that it didn’t occur while I was driving on the expressway.  Who knows? Maybe it kept me out of an accident!”

Suddenly, I heard a voice speak to me OUT LOUD, “Kathy, this delay DID keep you out of an accident!”

 I Was So Grateful to God for Always Taking Care of Me

Wow!  I almost wrecked my car from shock! I said, “Thank You, Lord. When will I ever learn that putting every part of my life in Your hands means that I need to accept whatever comes along? How do You put up with me? I’m so sorry.”

There Was an Accident at the Exit I Was to Get Off At

As I drove toward my destination, traffic started slowing down. What was this about? Was there an accident? Oh yeah, there was an accident.

The accident was ON THE EXIT RAMP I WOULD HAVE TAKEN TO GET TO MY APPOINTMENT! Police were directing traffic past the exit ramp, and I was forced to drive to the next exit ramp to get off.

That Could Have Been ME in the Wrecked Car!

As I drove past that exit ramp, I looked in horror at the accident. A huge tractor trailer evidently tried to get off at that exit and perhaps its brakes failed, and the driver couldn’t stop.  Somehow that tractor trailer ended up DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT! THEY WERE TRYING TO PULL A WOMAN’S BODY OUT OF THE CAR UNDERNEATH!

Dear Lord in Heaven! I knew without a doubt that the woman in that car WOULD HAVE BEEN ME IF MY FLAT TIRE HADN’T DELAYED ME! I started shaking all over. I could hardly steer the car.

I got off at the next exit ramp, found the office I was going to, pulled into the parking lot, turned off the engine – and fell apart. I couldn’t stop shaking!

I Thanked God and My Guardian Angel Darius

I felt so sorry for that woman and said a prayer for her and her loved ones. I knew that she was in very good hands on The Other Side, but my heart went out to the loved ones who would miss her terribly.

And once again I thanked God and my Guardian Angel Darius for taking such good care of me.  How could I possibly live my life in fear when something like that happened? How could I not know that God was with me every second of every day?
