Miracles Are Real: Lady on bike hit by SUV, leaves scene without any visable injuries

Article 19, Volume 5

Miracles

We read in the old testament of the Bible that Daniel was put in the lion's den and walked away the next morning without any injuries. God sealed the mouth of the lions so that they could not do any harm to him. (Daniel 6 chapter).

Also, we read in the Bible about the three Hebrew boys who were cast in the fiery fire in the furnace, and the next morning they came out of the furnace without any injuries.  

Many persons believe those stories, but they don't believe that such miracles or blessings can happen today. I believe that whatever miracles God performed in the past, he can perform like, similar, or even greater miracles today at time or place.

Well, let us fast forward to today.  In October 2014, a very devout Christian lady was riding her bike in the city of Fairfax, Virginia.

She came to a very busy intersection, stopped, waited for the light to change, and proceeded on her bike at the appropriate time across the street.

Before she could get across the street a big SUV made a right turn on the red light and hit her.There was a large bang.  People hopped out of their cars, some of them fearing the worse, went running to the scene to check her out and do whatever they could to help.

When they got to the point of impact, she was just standing there without a scratch. She uttered the words, "that SUV hit me." Also, she could be heard thanking God for saving her.

 A man, I surmise, who had jumped out of his car, ran to the point of impact, looked, and shouted out in a loud voice, "It is a miracle, I saw it with my own eyes!"

While all of this was going on, the lady was just standing there, holding on to her bike, with no visible sign of injury, giving praise and thanks to God.

She checked herself out, and no injury whatever was found  or seen on her, because she believed in her God, the true and everlasting God. 

Somebody, I visualize, called the Rescue Squad. But the lady made it clear that she was fine and did not need to go to the hospital.

After about eight minutes, she thanked the gathered throng who had offered assistance. Then she told the driver of the SUV that she didn't need any information from him.

Without any further discussion, she hopped on her bike, and proceeded to her destination. No, she didn't turn around and go back home.

God is good. Just like He saved Daniel in the lion's den He saved this dedicated Christian woman from any harm or injury when she was hit by that vehicle.

God is real, God is good!

Who is that lady?  An active member of Warner Baptist. Name withheld by request.

Penny Ford, featured soloist for Women's Ministry Annual Day at Warner Baptist

Article 16 Volume 5                                                                     Sunday, November 9, 2014

Penny Ford Inspires Congregation through Songs and Praise

Warner Baptist women celebrated their annual day by featuring Penni Ford in concert.

Penny was outstanding.  She kept the congregation engaged the whole service.  She started with a song called, "Testify".  This selection got the congregation on their feet.

She performed the second selection, "I can't give up now, came too far from where I started from" without the benefit of music, because the audio system just wouldn't work for that song. But that turned out to be a blessing in disguise because she was able to deliver the song without music.  The congregation joined in to help enhance the delivery.

The soloist last song was, "This is your season".  Again, the congregation was on their feet, clapping their hands, and shouting out words of praise to God.

After, remarks were made by Sister Denise Britford, president of the Women Ministry and Pastor Matthew J. Pearson.

It was a well spent afternoon. 

(Penny's birth name is Penni Lajuan Ford.  The name of her ministry is Transformed to Praise.  She is the daughter of Aileen Ford).

Rev. Phillip Lewis, Pastor,Pisgah Baptist Church, Upperville, VA spoke at Warner Baptist's Trustees Day Service

Article 12 Volume 4

Warner Baptist Celebrated its Annual Trustees Day

Rev. Phillip Lewis was the guest preacher for Trustees Day on Sunday, October 19, 2014. He was accompanied by his church's Men Chorus and several members.

He used Jeremiah 9:23-24 and l Corinthians 1:28-31 for scripture reference.  His topic was "Knowing Him"

Rev. Lewis put emphasis on being trustworthy, willing to help others and sharing your resources.  Also, a christian should glorify God in their walk, talk and living.  Emphasis was also put on studying God's Word. Don't rely solely on the corporate world teaching for doing God's work.

The renowned Warner Baptist food ministry prepared a delicious meal for the occasion.

Rev. Carl Johnson, Pastor of Mt Pleasant Baptist, Alexandria, VA, guest speaker for Warner Baptist's 94th church anniversary

Article 11, Volume 4

Rev. Carl Johnson  preached the final night of Warner Baptist week long anniversary services.

The final night of services for the anniversary was Friday, October 17, 2014

Rev. Johnson used Acts 27th chapter, in part, for his scripture.

Rev Johnson delivered a timely message about what God can do. He preached for about 55 minutes to the church's near capacity  congregation.  Length of speaking time didn't seem to matter to the gathered audience.  As he closed out his sermon, the hand clapping, foot stomping and amen shouting congregation continued to express their joy for a short period. The listeners  appeared ready to stay and listen to more gospel preaching if the pastor continued.  But he had to conclude at some point.

Rev. Johnson is a dynamic preacher of the gospel.

As the service concluded, I thought about how the Warner Baptist Church  family had been blessed to hear five pastors deliver messages, on different days this week.

Plans are already in the making for the 95th Anniversary next year!

 Mrs. Gwendolyn Haight is the chairperson of the Anniversary Committee.
