Who here has had a close call with death you feel was prevented by a spiritual nature?
I will give you an example of when I was in Iraq, I was sleeping in the front of a humvee. This guy in my squad his charging handle to his rifle was broke and it had been in and out of the arms room to try to get fixed.

Anyways he was being a dick to me and not letting me sleep and I told him to leave me alone that I didn't care what he had to say. (my sergeant was asleep in the back of the truck next to us)

So he locks and load his M16, now at this point I'm not worried about it because people lock and load on you all the time to mess around. After he locks and load though he points the rifle at my head. At this point I will still ignoring him because I was really tired. Finally I hear him click the rifle off of safe.

I was going to ignore this still and sleep but something came over me that I felt was not in my nature to move the barrell away from my head and at that exact moment of moving the barell he pulls the trigger and the rifle goes off! Which it has never been able to do before because of the faulty charging handle that wouldn't load a bullet into the barrell.

Needless to say the bullet missed my head by a few inches, went through the back of the truck into an encryption device and out the other side. He ended up in levelworth for a few months for that one, but actually it was from other stuff he did after that instant because I ended up lying for him to cover up his stupidity.

There was another instance that I felt as well where I felt I was guided to safety by an external force at just the right moment. I was standing having a smoke with a squad mate and we were waiting on our friend to finish talking with his wife. We were out there waiting forever finally we were like lets go inside and play pool. Soon as we got in there and set our weapons down 2 mortars landed exactly where we were standing. Someone actually across the street sitting in a humvee got injured which was no where near were they landed but it can travel pretty far. If we stayed where we were standing for just a few seconds more we woulda been toast.

So these examples and others throughout my life tells me there is a greater purpose going on, and I shoulda been killed off by now, but for some reason I keep escaping death and I don't think if there is some grand architect let me live those time that hes gonna just kill me off soon as the NWO is in full effect, it wouldn't make sense in the script. I feel I need to fullfill some important purpose or what was the point keeping me alive this much longer just to cause me years of untold stress, anxiety and depression. Which I will report I have gotten over a lot, only took about 9 years though.

So do you guys have any similar stories or thoughts?

you don't have to feel "saved" because you have a higher purpose and obligated to find the grand "purpose"

you don't have to have a grand purpose.

God has covered my ass too..I prayed very hard and ashed for protection and he saved me too

I was confused but I think I asked and god gave protection even though I don't follow or go to church but I believe

I was free-climbing up a waterfall one summer.... (not a really tall one, and up the side, out of the water) there was quite a bit of loose dirt that I was struggling with, when I heard some soft thuds of a substantially sized boulder heading down toward me. Holding on about 7 feet above the ledge below me I knew there was no way to jump without risking a hell of a fall.

So I grit my teeth and hugged as close as I could to the ground in front of me. After two or three seconds the stone tumbled past and barely nicked my arm. I looked down and realized that it was definitely big enough to squish my head. I haven't climbed since.

So no one thinks that your experience means that there is more to come? Maybe everyone is saved by the game or God if its not their time yet.

God loves you. He must be reaching out to you for a long time. Do you have any family members who have been praying for years that you come to know Jesus? That has been my experience with stories like these. Read the book of John. Learn about the Christ. Ask a friend or family member you trust about their relationship with Christ and learn everything you can from them.

Peace! hf

When I was living in the Philippines about 7 or 8 years ago, I was going out the back door of a house we were leasing in Davao.

As I pushed the back screen door out -- what turned out to be a king cobra fell onto my head, then down on my shoulder.

When I first saw it on my shoulder, all I saw was it's head - and I thought it was a lizard, so I flicked it off of me as I jumped back.

It wasn't until it was in the air that I realized it was a snake - but I had also lost my footing and was on the way to the floor...

Fortunately for me, the tail of the snake got caught in the screen door as I stepped back and the door slammed shut. The snake was about 2 or 3 feet off the ground -- and striking at me but could not quite bite.

I quickly got out of the way and when security came to kill the snake -- the guy said it was a baby king cobra -- one of the most deadly snakes in the world.

Several close calls in the matter of seconds -- and the odds the snake would get it's tail caught in the door?

Well when these events happened I was a major Atheist. I think I probably had people praying for me since I was in war so thats inevitable, not many Christians in family, really just one of my Aunts.

My apologies for not being more intricate earlier :)

I do believe those of us that have these events happen in our lives were in need of a bit of a wake up call, and perhaps it is by those events that the motivation to actively change things pushes us along to the point where our existence makes a difference in someones life down the road, whether it be great, or small.

When I was 18 I smoked something that was laced with a massive dose of PCP (unknown to me at the time). I was tripping out of my mind and when I would come back to reality my heart was ready to explode. Then my heart stopped but I was still conscious for a few seconds.

I cried out to God to save me (never had been a Christian) and my heart started beating again. Thus began a three year journey at the end of which I became a born again Christian.

Rock climbed for 15 years and had 2 miracles. Car crash that even the EMT said should have killed me.

I'm still here for a reason.

Then if she's still with us, talk to your aunt, or her family. Let us know how it goes. I'll be praying for you.

I believe that whenever we come close to death, we are dumped in another timeline. I almost crash with a car while I was driving against the traffic on the highway, but I had took with me a Holy wax candle to have the help of God. It was a second near miss and I believe that was when I got my supernatural powers. They say you obtain magical powers when you have a closed call with death, and I believe it's true.
