Miracle at 70 Miles an Hour By Elaine Davenport (Thursday, July 19, 2007)

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalm 91: 11

I start every day out with prayer for many many people. I plead the Blood of Jesus over our family, our home, our possessions, our cars, our situations. Everyday.

I had just began to pray the Prayer of Jabez daily as well and keep it posted on my back door. It says:

"Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request."
1Cronicles 4:10


I just have to tell you what happened to me yesterday. I had to take my mom to the hospital for a very serious matter. We did tons of driving as I took her to various clinic. There were times when I found myself sitting in the car alone. I was sleepy and wanted to go to sleep but I persevered. When I am with my mom I try to see to it that she gets a good snapshot of what a believer act of love is rather than a bad one so that it won't negatively impact my witnessing to her. She's a believer but she was raised in an era where they never taught about having a personal relationship with God and its importance. Anyways, we did a lot of driving.


I was sitting in the car in front of the Fairlane Clinic in Dearborn when this overwhelming desire to sing: "Oh, the Blood of Jesus" came over me. At first, I fought it because I couldn't "think" of any reason that I needed to sing it, but at first I sang it slowly then I got into it. I eventually stopped before my mom got back in the car. We both do a lot of talking. We drove on several freeways.


Well, I dropped mom off and jumped on the Southfield Freeway heading north to get home. I normally don't get in the fast lane but this day it just made sense. After a few miles; I heard a noise that sounded very unusual. I was going 70 miles an hour and I couldn't see anything so I kept on going.

I came off of the freeway and heade4d home. There was less noise but clearly there was a noise coming from my car. Just as I got near the end of my street I got out of the car to investigate; I had a very flat tire.

My road service had expired and they needed $58.00. I paid it and then found out that my car insurance would write me an i8mmediate check so that was done. I took my car to get the tire repaired and this is what they found:

my tire had a hole in it and another tire had a horrible leak in it and was just about to go flat as well, Both tires were repaired for free. PRAISE GOD.

I was reminded of the following verse:

"When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up A standard against him." Isaiah 59:19(b)


I don't know how long there was a hole in my tire. I just know that God sent His angels to suround me and prosper my way. I also know that it was a favor filled day.
