God's Promise of Protection - Divine Assurance | Christian Living Journal


 Written By Ken Hulsey

In 2021, I experienced a harrowing incident on my drive home from work. While navigating the highway in heavy rain, I hydroplaned and lost control of my car. However, I can say without hesitation that Jesus protected me through the entire ordeal. In the days that followed, many people remarked on how 'lucky' I was to have emerged unharmed. But I am here to profess that it was not mere luck - it was divine intervention.


During those moments when I had zero control over my vehicle, I was not gripped by fear. This calm was a testament to my growing relationship with Jesus. I acknowledge that in a previous stage of my life, I would have been consumed by terror in such a situation.

Every morning before leaving for work, my wife and I pray together, and I faithfully ask God to protect me and our car as I commute. On the day of the incident, God answered that prayer. I can understand why someone reading this may think the opposite - that God had abandoned me, allowing my car to crash and putting me in a life-threatening scenario. But I know with certainty that the Lord was with me, sparing me from harm.

During a conversation with the local sheriff and tow-truck operator, I learned that cars typically meet a dire fate when they veer off the road at this location - flipping over, crashing into the nearby trees, or ending up submerged in up to six feet of water. Yet, none of those calamities befell me, a clear testament to God's intervention and protection. I could have been seriously injured, or even killed, and my car destroyed. Instead, I walked away unscathed, and I drove my vehicle to work the next morning.

This harrowing ordeal was clearly orchestrated by the Lord so that I may testify to His power and the importance of putting one's full faith in Him. Though I may never fully understand why I was placed in such a life-threatening situation, I am grateful that God saw fit to spare me, enabling me to share this miraculous account of His unwavering care and divine deliverance.

California Through My Lens - Sunset Over Route 66 - Cajon Pass

Image
Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey  Many travelers who drive out of Los Angeles and Orange County through the Inland Empire and Cajon Pass to all points east, including Las Vegas, on Interstate 15 don't realize that there are several miles of the old Route 66 that still exist a mere hundred or so yards away.  The old highway that once served as the only road through the pass is now only taken by motorists who want to try and avoid traffic congestion due to accidents or weekend travelers trying to get to Sin City or other desert recreation areas.

Ray's Drive In: A Lufkin Favorite You Can't Miss

Image
 Written By Ken Hulsey This past weekend, my wife and I decided to explore Lufkin, a charming city in eastern Texas. We arrived around noon, so naturally, our first stop was for food. We noticed the usual fast-food chains everywhere, and just as we were about to settle for a local Whataburger, I spotted a retro drive-in across the street. Why choose something we could have anytime when we had the chance to enjoy some of the local flavors?

Rediscovering Smith's Landing: The Story of Louisiana's First Train Station and Its Legacy

Image
Today, I want to share the story of the first railroad built in central Louisiana. Known as the Red River Railroad , or sometimes the Ralph Smith Smith Railroad , this was the very first railroad constructed west of the Mississippi River. It was a simple and roughly built line that transported cotton and other goods that were brought in by barges on Bayou Boeuf .   The place where this railroad began is called Smith’s Landing , and the remaining building in the town of Lecompte is recognized as the first train station built west of the Mississippi. The tracks ran from Lecompte to the banks of the Red River in Alexandria , but much of this route has been lost to time. During the Civil War , Union soldiers tore up the tracks to create a levee, and because of that, we don’t know exactly where the railroad used to go. Interestingly, when crews were constructing the old Jefferson Highway that runs between Lecompte and Alexandria, they found some remnants of the Red River Railroad, whi...

Unleashing Blessings Through Surrender: A Divine Pathway to Abundance | Pastor Steve Roberts | The Daily Ascend

Image
 By Steven Roberts In this message, based on 2 Kings 4:1–7, we examine the significant narrative of the widow and her jar of oil. This story provides insights into themes of faith, obedience, and the importance of creating space for divine intervention. It highlights the principle that God can multiply what we offer to Him; He fills what we make room for in our lives. Importantly, God's provision is limitless, while our capacity to receive can often feel constrained. For those who feel emptied, overwhelmed, or are seeking a breakthrough, this message serves as encouragement to present your “empty jar” to God and have faith in His ability to fill it.

Classic UFO Casebook: What Made These UFO Reports Too Strange to Ignore

Image
Written By: Ken Hulsey June 24, 1947, Mount Rainier, Washington The fascinating era of UFO sightings kicked off when pilot Kenneth Arnold made a remarkable discovery over Mount Rainier in Washington State. While he was on a mission to locate a downed U.S. Marine Corps C-46 transport airplane, Arnold's attention was suddenly captured by a cluster of unusual aircraft darting through the sky. In an official report that quickly garnered worldwide attention, he described these strange flying objects as being “saucer shaped.” This catchy description resulted in the now-iconic term “flying saucer” entering the lexicon of popular culture, forever changing the way we think about unidentified flying objects. Adding to the intrigue of Arnold's sighting was his background—he was not just any pilot; he was an experienced aviator and a decorated combat pilot from World War II. His credentials lent significant credibility to his claims, suggesting that he was well-acquainted with various type...

Star Wars: Journal of the Whills

Image
ANOTHER galaxy, another time. The Old Republic was the Republic of legend, greater than distance or time. No need to note where it was or whence it came, only to know that… it was the Republic. Once, under the wise rule of the Senate and the protection of the Jedi Knights, the Republic throve and grew. But as often happens when wealth and power pass beyond the admirable and attain the awesome, there appear those evil ones who have greed to match. So it was with the Republic at its height. Like the greatest of trees, able to withstand any external attack, the Republic rotted from within, though the danger was not visible from outside. Aided and abetted by restless, power-hungry individuals within the government and the massive organs of commerce, the ambitious Senator Palpatine caused himself to be elected President of the Republic. He promised to reunite the disaffected among the people and to restore the remembered glory of the Republic. Once secure in office, he declared...
