People of all faiths please answer--have you ever been rescued by the kindness of a stranger?

Question

Have you ever been in a situation that you had no way of getting out of on your own, facing insurmountable odds, only to have the answer come from out of the blue in the form of someone you had never seen before? Someone who didn't know you from adam coming up to lend a helping hand?

Answer 1

Yes as a matter of fact I asked a similar question earlier today. Many years ago I as driving an older car on a four lane busy freeway and my car died in the middle of the interstate with no power whatsoever traffic as heavy and fast an 18 wheeler locked up and jackknifed which blocked two of the four lanes a small car pulled off to the side and four men the size of linebackers each with blond hair and each was pretty much and probably exactly the same size I assumed maybe they were football players and traveling together then a couple more got out of a different car and all together they pushed my car safely to the side of the road none ever said word and they left as quickly as they came and they were all similar in appearance...now it could be a coincidence but it was unusual and it did make me think.

Answer 2

twice- both involved finances and both times someone I did not know or did not know very well, and had no tuation way of knowing my situation, the exact need or why, gave me the exact amount to meet that need.
One time no one knew - I was home alone, i had been sick. I found out that I owed $100 for something. There was no way to pay it, we had no bank account, I had no job, husbands job barely paid the bills and groceries and this bill would have caused a LOT of problems. My husband comes home from church that evening- he did not even know about it yet- he handed me an envelope and said I dont know what this is for but this person at church said she felt God say to give it to him- I opened the envelope, it was exactly $100.
The other istuation was similar but did not involve a bill, it was more about trust- kind of like the widows mite. I was in church and I had $5.00 I planned on getting milk and bread for my kids and that was all the grocery money I had for the week. I did not know how much was coming the next week and there was no way our groceries were going to last the week. I felt God urging me to put it in the offering. I struggled because I did not have another penny and I wondered if it was right. Well, it came time and I put it in there and was leaving church wondering what I was going to do. Someone who did not know my situation or anything about what i had just done came up to me and gave me enough money for a basket of groceries.
I have had other situations that did not involve money- things that I know God was urging me or our family to do and others thought we were crazy, but God prepared the way, placed people there to help us through and it owrked out better than anyone expected.

Answer 3

Yes...a woman I had never met paid for a life saving surgery that I required! I had no medical Insurance, & no way of getting the operation...I figured that the Lord was calling me home & it was my time to go...but then the Lord works in mighty & mysterious ways to be sure! The Lady did not want to be repaid for the thousands of dollars that she spent for a person she had never met..she said...it was a gift from the Lord!
Oh what precious Savior to do such awesome things!

Answer 4

Yes I have! It was during the Hurricane Rita evacuation, we were out of gas with two babies in the car that were hungry and becoming dehydrated and a lady pass by and gave us water, about an hour later a man came by in a truck with a gas can and gave us gas, and told us God Bless and kept going.

Answer 5

Absolutely not.

Not law, lawyers, strangers, family or friends, [ now they have shelters ], so I planned my work and worked my plan, and finally with the help of God when it was time for my plan to work, God and Christ were the chiefs in charge. I was delivered from slavery.
I must have done all the right things to rear my children and not cause them discomfort just because their father was cruel, abusive, raging nonsense and rape, never a sign of love, drunk and accusing me of being like him, as he told me his plans and nothing could stop him, but I could not do what he could, so I was under a death threat. I was not afraid and 5 years before I got free, I had to disarm him and I put all the fear possible into his paranoid mind, if he could just imagine me with the ability to do the same to him and he was a frightened coward.
2Tim.3:1-7; I shunned him to the best of my ability as the only choice I had, he was a nice guy before family and friends and strangers, no one would ever believe what he was as a husband, [ I had a job, I worked, took care of both children, my house, the yard, paid the bills, furnished and took care of the car and travel, I did study the bible to learn about good and evil and all that one needs to know in this life to keep you from killing the evil person since God does not do it, the bible had all the answers ].
I was free after 21 years, free to expose just enough to keep him the good guy he always displayed himself to be. He was glad to be out of the coward rut he had put himself in and he did not want to be exposed as after 21 years, people were learning of domestic violence and just how horrible it could be and just how the law was against it from brutes like him that never showed love or kindness to their wife, but made her a slave to receive only the worst possible each day of life.

The bad reside with the good Luke 23:43 as Jesus gave the example and Rev.1:7 At his coming those that pierced him will see him.
Bad husbands are not bad parents [ in fact they can treat mom as if she is not fit to be mom ], Matt.7:9,10;
The evil person is as son, a dad, a brother and can learn how to be a husband, he can also learn as those in Luke 23:43 there is a God and the judgement day of Jesus Christ and the relatives and friends of such a person will never be able to blame God or Christ or any human if the person that was evil, does not get eternal life as John 3:16 says. He will be given every opportunity.
Angels face judgement day Jude 6; 1Pet.3:18-20; 2Pet.2:4; and judges are 2Cor.6:2,3;
Man faces judgement day Heb.9:27 It is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgement.
1Cor.15:22-18,51-53 AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE.
Acts 17:31; 24:15; John 5:20,22,26-27; Dan.12:2; Isa.26:19; 2Cor.5:10; Matt.12:34-36;
Rom.14:9-12; Philip.2:5,9-12; John 12:37,48; Rev.20:1-6 No satan, the heavenly are with Jesus as first resurrected Rev.3:12 coming down out of the new heavens from God to 12,13 resurrect the earthly for the 1000 year judgement day and cleansing the earth as the heavens were cleansed 2520 years after Babylon Empire #3, to end #7 Empire at Rev.12:3,4,6-11,12; and SATAN HAS A SHORT TIME ON EARTH IN THE 8TH AS THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS IS IN THE 8TH. Rev.17:10-14 #1 to #5, Jesus and John in #6, bible here and Satan down in #7, the raised up John 6:39,40,44 in the 8th to Michael of Jude 9 and Dan.12:1-13 is there to the last 1Thes,4:15-17; And all are there in Rev.20:1-6 [ No Satan ] And all possible will be saved and made new.

One time I was in Chicago. Needed a taxi. The phone was dead. Three women showed up. They ask if I needed help. They disappeared as fast as they appeared. For a moment I thought I saw angels. Sometimes people act so much like angels you never forget them. A taxi showed up as I requested.
