From Hell's Gate to Hope - Chapter 14

I was watching "Praise the Lord" TBN earlier today and I've watched a pastor telling a story about a woman he was praying with. I'm sure you'll find this story just as interesting as I did.

This woman was driving on the Alaskan/Canadian freeway and landed in a place called Hell's Gate. She was filled with fear and couldn't drive, so she called the pastor's office for prayer. She told him that she was trying to a place called Hope, a town that was 52 miles from Hell's Gate. After he prayed for her, he suggested to her to drive for 1 mile, pull over then pray and continue to do it each time until she reaches her destination. He told her if she needed anymore to give him a call. He didn't hear from her for weeks. He received a letter from her months later explaining her experience and he read it to the audience. She said that she took the pastor's advice pulled over after each mile and prayed. Around the 26th mile, a Toyota Camry zoomed right passed her and the licence plate said "Praise Him." That's just what she did.

She realized the significance of the road she traveled. The road from Hell's Gate to Hope was long scary journey for her, but through prayer and praising God, not only did she make it to a place called Hope, but she also made it through with no fear! It was no coincidence that I watched this program going through what I'm going through. I got the message...did you?

Until next time....
