We serve an awesome God!!! This morning at about 03:30 I woke up and just had this feeling someone was trying to break into the house. I got up and 4m from where I stood I saw a man slowly opening a window to climb through. I started screaming and banging on the windows and he got such a fright he ran like an Olympic athlete!! Thank you Jesus for alerting my spirit and protecting us!!

Amelia Prentice recently went out for the evening. As she locked up her car she felt a strong urge to pray for a protection or a Sentinel angel to stand at the vehicle in her absence. When she returned later that evening she found a bunch of an assortment of keys at the drivers side. Feeling particularly responsible, she went to a local security company to drop off the missing keys where she met an officer who had, whilst driving his rounds, witnessed 4 men trying to break into her car. God heard her prayer – the car had been supernaturally protected just in time!
I went to a Firestarters activation session at His People Church in Cape Town City Bowl. The venue is situated in Hope Street but I had to park down a side road off Hope Street. After the session I was walking to my car when two guys approached me. One of them asked if could I help them with R10 and I said that I had no money. Then the other guy piped up saying they don’t want my help they want my bag. As h says this he opens his jacket and shows me this sharp looking shiny thing which turns out to be a screwdriver. So I said “Ok but can I just take my book out?”. I was referring to my journal, I never want to lose my journal at all ever, all the prophetic words of encouragement I receive etc goes in there, goes in my journal! It really is all my hope on paper! So he (not the guy with the screwdriver) said I can take it if I want so I took my journal and my bible out and gave him my bag. Then he took my dad K-Way fleece too and they walked off. I started walking towards my car but then I turned round and there was a taxi cab that had just turned onto the road. I ran to the driver and told him that those two guys just took my bag, they were walking slowly and all, trying to look normal but as we were talking the police pulled up and the two guys started running and then the police followed them. Then the rest is a bit of a haze lots of standing around talking to people. Soon an ADT officer came with my bag but not the fleece. ALL my stuff was still in my bag – iPod, camera, BlackBerry, wallet – nothing was missing and the police had one of the guys. I followed the ADT officer to the police who were still looking for the second guy. That was quite funny because a group of girls from the Firestarters session saw me surrounded by the police so they stopped and stood with me. I was quite chipper so they were praising God for how everything turned out and praying for more joy, right in front of the police and mugger. It must have been quite a sight to the passer-by, but a fabulous testimony at the same time. Later I wound up at the police station to make my statement and the parents of the second guy (whom the police could not find at the time) brought him in with my dad’s fleece jacket.
When I was at the police station the police woman explained events to me from their side and the crazy thing is that the police received a call to go to Hope Street for a disturbance and so they had been driving up and down looking for one. They just happened to be driving past my little off-street as the two guys turned the corner from my street onto Hope street. The police woman saw the one guy holding the bag behind his back and thought that looked suspicious and when they saw the police they just ran so then the police chased!
It was just so amazing how everything worked out, no physical harm came to me, I had favour with the guys to let me keep my most valuable possessions and on top of that everything that had been stolen was returned. Neither myself nor the police can get over how it all shaped up! GOD is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!

Dad gives dreams to his children, to warn them of impending danger. The story that follows is my recent experience of this Kinda love. About 6 weeks ago I awoke with a startling dream: My brother was being chased down by a man with a stick, and eventually murdered. I did not want to tell him so as not to freak him out, and instead I asked the Lord to protect my brother in Jesus name. Once!
A few weeks later, he calls home with news. That morning early, he had woken with a man leaning over him through his window, trying to remove his wallet from his table nearby. My brother shouted at him “Hey, what do you want!”, which thankfully sent the guy running. And I’m so grateful that God protected him!
Another similar incident happened to a friend of mine. She lives hundreds of kilometers away from me, and we don’t see each other often, but for some reason she was on my mind every day for like a whole week. I asked the Holy Spirit what is happening, and He said, “Pray for Margaux”. And so I said two or three lines, just asking God to bless and cover her. Three days later, her status update on Facebook read that her car had been stolen. At first I was a little disappointed… but then haha!… a few days later she posted again, that her car had been found. It was alleged that it had run out of petrol/gas. God is good, Margaux came away unscathed. Now I’m trusting that she gets blessed 7 times over for the Inconvenience and irritation it caused!
He has eyes and ears in past, present ‘n future. I’m thankful that for a few seconds He allowed me to see what He sees and to trust Him in His work. He sure knows what He’s doing!
