I hear stories like this from time to time and they always give me goosebumps because I totally believe this could and does happen… Read the story below and discuss, but be nice!

**A girl went to a party and she ended up staying longer than planned, her boyfriend got drunk and passed out and had to walk home alone. She wasn’t afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away around the corner of bellflower and artesia.

As she walked along passing “7 eleven” Mary asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger.

When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God’s protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep.

Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story.

The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before.

When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Mary for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her.

She asked if they would ask the man one question. Mary was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered, “Because she wasn’t alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her.”**
 
Why could it not happen? There are numerous sightings of angels etc in the Bible.
 
Just wondering, but how come you said “be nice”? How could a story of Providential Heavenly Protection elicit anything but praise? 🙂

In any thread that I start I say ‘be nice’ because whenever you get catholics and protestants talking about something, it seems whether big or small, a lot of mud slinging ensues… It just a reminder to check the attitudes at the door… 👍
 
What is your opinion on the matter? 😃
Oh, I totally believe it could and does happen. The reason I bring it in here is because I have been surprised as to what people (christians) believe and how different it can be. Something that makes total sense to me comes out as proposterous to others…
 
Why not? I’ve experienced amazing protection from harm many times. One cool thing she could do next time would be to pray for the safety of everyone passing the store after her as well. It’s extremely hard to remember to do extra things when we are in danger, but doing so would make a great deal of difference to the next person who walks there.👍
 
Because I cannot verify any of the facts and there is no documentation whatsoever, I cannot form an opinion as to whether or not it happened. God can do anything, but there is no reason to think that he did this, unless there is some proof that hasn’t been presented to us.

You are thinking about it too much, the question was ‘do you think it COULD happen?’ not ‘did it happen’…
 
Of course it can happen and has! I know several people who have had experiences like this.
 
Yes, this can happen. 🙂
God does send angels to protect His children, when they ask in faith.
 
Hello,

Yes, it could happen. Just read the stories of the early martyrs, which are filled with such stories. One was of Saint Lucy. She was exposed as a Christian by her pagan fiance whom she refused to marry. So she was brought before the local Roman officials and was told to renounce Jesus Christ, which she refused. So he thought that he would deprive her of her virginity, which she was keeping for Christ. So he ordered her to a brothel to be violated, but when they went to move her, by the grace of God she became immovable. They hitched up a team of oxen, but still she did not budge. So he had her executed.

how lucky can you get?
 
Things like this can happen, however this story is not true. It has been making the rounds in email like a chain letter.

Well, that’s not a very useful question. If some “circular email” reported that some traveling faith healer raised someone from the dead who had been buried for several days, it doesn’t help to point out that Jesus did that to Lazarus, therefore it “could” happen. That tends to obscure the probability that the story is a fabrication designed to entertain the gullible.

Such unverifiable anecdotes should be studiously ignored; not swallowed, not repeated, not denied, just ignored.

Wow, why are you even responding to this thread then?
 
I’d like to influence others to think as I do. 🙂
Even if you are wrong?

What if this isn’t some story that has just been making the rounds in email… What if it is a true story that happened? You never know. Why would you want to take that glory from God?
