My First Audible Encounter With God...Saved My Son's Life.

"Matthew...Go Out The Back Door...NOW!"

I want to share a deeply personal account that transformed my faith, an experience from 1994. We visited a friend's house for a bible study session. Our eldest, Steven, was nearly two years old, while Michael was just an infant.

While Michelle was taking the kids inside and I was busy storing the stroller away, Steven joyfully dashed past me to greet everyone. As I was opening the closet door, a voice suddenly echoed, "Matthew...Go Out The Back Door!" Initially, it startled me and I figured it was a joke played by one of my friends, so I carried on.

But then, louder this time, the voice commanded, "Matthew...Go Out The Back Door...NOW!"

I promptly heeded the voice and said, "Okay!" I then glanced down the hallway towards the back door, which was slightly open. As soon as I rounded the corner, I caught sight of Steven disappearing beneath the surface of an unnoticeable, defunct ground-level jacuzzi, concealed by bubble wrap and leaf cover.

Had I not responded to THE VOICE, my son wouldn't be here with us today. A single second of hesitation could have had fatal consequences. This is MY TESTIMONY.

A DISCLAIMER: Several have questioned why God would put your son in such a situation. Was He trying to validate His existence?

I want to clarify this! God didn't guide my son to the water, it was Satan's work. Satan attempted to harm my son... and God thwarted it.

God doesn't need to validate His existence. Yet, this incident serves as a demonstration of His glory and a testament to His enduring love.

Make It A Great Day!
