Andre was Protected From a High Speed Collision

Even after all of the things I’ve done wrong in my life, the Lord has still pulled me out of this world. He filled me with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues and then I was baptised in water. I would like to thank the Lord for accepting me into his family.

I would like to share one of the many miracles that God has done since then. Three years ago, my friend Mario and I decided to journey to Adelaide and visit some friends who are members of the Revival fellowship. Our journey began at midnight during one of the biggest storms that Geelong had seen for many years. About three hours out of Geelong, we were having fellowship and singing choruses in the car when a truck coming the other way was flashing its high beams at us. We took no notice because we were driving at the speed limit of 100km/ph and doing no wrong. Approximately 500m further on we saw a huge gum tree spread across the road only about 10 metres in front of us. The height of the tree was like a 2 storey house. We both only had enough time to call out the name ‘Lord!’. In the next instant we collided with the tree at 100km/ph and we cannot describe the thunderous noise of breaking branches and pieces of tree hitting the panels and windscreen of the car. After we negotiated around the tree we pulled to the side of the road, looked at eachother and knew that everything was okay because we weren’t distressed at all. If anything, the words ‘Praise the Lord’ were uttered by both of us.

As we stepped out of the car to analyse the damage, we realised the car was without so much as a scratch and we could not find any evidence of the tree connecting with the car, apart from some leaves that were lodged in the grill. We moved the heavy tree off the road, got back into the car and continued our journey, praising and singing to the Lord even more.

Recently I was married in the Lord to my beautiful wife Christina. I continuously thank the Lord for making all this possible. For all the blessings, miracles and healings that the Lord has provided me, I could never in this lifetime thank him enough for making me the person I am today. Praise the Lord.
