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.

Image
 Written By Ken Hulsey In my opinion, the broadcast of H.G. Wells' classic novel "War of the Worlds," directed by Orson Welles and his talented Mercury Theater team, is one of the most fascinating moments in human history. It can be challenging for us to understand how this unique radio performance incited widespread panic, with many listeners convinced that Martians were genuinely invading Earth. Yet that’s precisely what happened.

Tales of the Unkown: The Chilling Mystery of the Buena Park Monster

Image
Written By Ken Hulsey. For over a decade, I have been writing about sightings of Bigfoot-like creatures in and around Southern California. As a general rule, these encounters have taken place in rural, mountainous, and even desert areas. Many of them occurred in secluded locations, while others surprisingly happened in populated areas adjacent to those mountains, forests, and deserts. It seems that Bigfoot wanders into neighborhoods from time to time, probably in search of food.

Beyond the Showdowns: The Untold Truth About Gunfights in the Old West | Ken Hulsey

Image
 The gunfight is a staple of every Western television show, movie, and pulp novel. If you watched classic TV series like The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, and Wagon Train, you know it was the climactic scene in nearly every episode. The narratives of these popular shows and films, featuring legends such as John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, and Clint Eastwood, portray the Old West as being filled with hired guns, trigger-happy outlaws seeking revenge, and fighters looking for a brawl. It creates tension, doesn't it? Picture a showdown in a deserted street, guns blazing as two men face off in a winner-takes-all battle to the death. The fastest draw usually emerges victorious, that being most often the town marshal or the good-looking hero of the story.

A Battle for Survival in the Amazon: The Gill-Man Rises from the Depths in 'Creature From The Black Lagoon'!

Image
Written By: Ken Hulsey The classic movie monster Creature from the Black Lagoon, developed by Universal Pictures, was the last in a long line of iconic horror characters. By the 1950s, most studios had shifted their focus from horror to science fiction films. Universal followed this trend, with Creature from the Black Lagoon arriving soon after the popular It Came from Outer Space, both starring Richard Carlson in his signature role as the heroic scientist. This was a departure from the typical portrayal of scientists as villainous or misguided. It was a logical move for Universal to blend their established horror brand with the emerging science fiction genre, resulting in the creation of Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Roadside Wonders: Meet Dinny and Mr. Rex—California’s Iconic Dinosaur Duo!

Image
 Photos and Story By Ken Hulsey You can't miss the towering 100-foot giants standing proudly by the highway! That was exactly the vision of restaurant owner and artist Claude Bell when he created a colossal replica of a Brontosaurus, affectionately named Dinny. Built from leftover materials from the construction of the nearby I-10 freeway, this awe-inspiring creature came to life in 1964, complete with a gift shop nestled inside to entice hungry travelers to the Wheel Inn Restaurant. Fast forward to 1981, and Dinny welcomed a formidable companion—a Tyrannosaurus Rex named Mr. Rex! Initially, Mr. Rex was equipped with a slide for adventurous kids, but safety concerns led to the slide being removed and plastered over, ensuring that everyone could enjoy the spectacle without worry.

Image
What happens when you’ve made the perfect plan for your life, only to see it all fall apart? In Daniel 11, we learn that kingdoms rise and fall, leaders change, and even our best plans can fail.
