“We were on third mainland bridge, driving home gently, road was free, suddenly a vehicle came from behind as though it wanted to overtake us, but he turned abruptly and gave the car a hard hit that looked intentional, my car started turning, hitting different angles and all we could shout was JESUS, it faced d bridge, we thought it was over, but suddenly it made a turn , and sat at the edge of the bridge, surely there is power in JESUS name 🙌🏾👍🏽.
“We came down unhurt , and started calling friends , while waiting, I started sensing something bad was about to happen again, then I started praying at the top of my voice by the car. Non of the passing vehicles stopped cos it was late. I had barely stopped praying when another vehicle came from no where and gave the car a harder and stronger bash repositioning the car by automatically lifting the car to d road , u don’t want to imagine the state I was left .
How and why would my car be bashed twice within d space of an hour, if this was plotted in a movie scene it would be tagged “unrealistic” but hey ? This is real ! JESUS !!!Please help me thank GOD ALMIGHTY for keeping me again , and thank my friend who chooses to be anonymous, who came all d way that midnight to our rescue . Help me shout seven HALLELUYAH 🙌🏾
