The story of Spencer January was recently featured in Guidepost magazine. He served in the American Army’s 35th Infantry, during World War II. Before leaving home, the pastor of their Church in Dallas, Texas had prayed Psalm 91 over each deploying soldier from their town.
In 1945 Spencer’s division was ordered to take the town of Ossenburg in Germany where there was an enemy ammunition factor.. His group fought for hours to get through the thick jungle-like terrain when suddenly they came to an open space with a large stone house. With German machine guns blasting away, it was sure death to cross the opening, but it was their only avenue since every other passage into town was secured by the Germans. Suddenly Spencer began remembering an elderly prayerful woman, Mrs. Tanersly—from his Church back home. As he got ready to run right though the barrage of open fire, perhaps to certain death, he found himself on his knees, praying passionately for divine help.
As his group began to advance, suddenly a huge white cloud materialized from a totally clear sky and shrouded the clearing, so that there was no way for the Germans to see where to fire. Instantly Spencer and his fellow soldiers took off and ran across the clearing and into the thicket. No one had to tell Spencer that what he had just experienced was a miracle of God.
Days later, Spencer received a letter from his mother that recounted how on a particular date and time Mrs. Tanersly had been divinely prompted to pray for a divine covering over him. Spencer realized that Mrs. Tanersly’s prayers tallied with the time his group was getting ready to dash across the danger zone of the German ambush.
This experience so impacted Spencer that he dedicated his morning hours for the next sixty years to pray for friends and relatives and he eventually served as a minister of the Gospel.
If you are facing a tough situation, prayer must be your first option, not your last resort.
In Psalm 118:5 David testified of how prayer got him out of a tight spot, he said, “I called on the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place” (NKJV).
Through prayer, we engage God’s power to confound our enemies and bring a forceful turnaround of situations. Prayer rearranges things in the spirit and delivers miracles to us.
God is our solid rock, our hope from ages past, He is our refuge and strength and ever present help in trouble. Those who know the secret of calling upon God will always stand victorious over life’s challenges.
As saints of God, we are called not only to pray for ourselves but for others also. As intercessors, we are facilitators of divine intervention.
However, our degree of intimacy with God, determines the degree of His response to us. To constantly receive miraculous answers to prayers, we must accept the spiritual responsibility of building a strong relationship with God through study of the Word, prayers and worship.
Miracles are not magic but God’s response to those who trust and fear Him. Therefore, as you sincerely call upon Him today, certainly God deliver you from every tight spot, He will enable you to break forth to higher grounds, set your feet upon the solid rock and cause you to ride upon your high places.
PRAYER: Lord, please grant me the grace to seek to know You more intimately so that I can always obtain help in the time of need. I know that even right now You are set to exceed my expectations in Jesus Name.
