God Is Here "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD." Isaiah 54:17 All throughout the Bible we see story after story how God did miracle acts to protect the people of Israel. Opening the Red Sea was just one of the miracles that He did to protect His chosen people. But does God still do miracles today? One of my face book friends sent me this story which he said was true as his father was a witness, and had told it to him. A missionary in the New Hebrides Islands, described his experience with God's divine angelic protection. Hostile natives surrounded his mission headquarters one night, desiring to kill him and his wife and burn all the buildings down. All through that terror filled night, they prayed that God would deliver them from this evil. When daylight came they were amazed to see the natives leave, looking frustrated. One year later, the chief of that tribe gave his life to the Lord. Remembering what had happened that terrible night, the missionary asked the chief what had kept him and his men from burning down the house that night. The chief replied in surprise, "Well, he said, all those men were there with you! "What do you mean?", asked the missionary, "There were no men there, just my wife and I." The chief argued that the tribe had seen many men standing guard - hundreds of big men in shining garments with drawn swords in their hands. They seemed to circle the house, so they were afraid to attack". God's angels are still here to protect us today, and God can still do miracles even today, and tells us there is nothing to be afraid of, as He is there to keep us safe.
