Introduction
Escape From Death

During more than fifty years of living, my life has been miraculously spared on several occasions. In 1961, I was sitting in the front seat of Dads 1960 Comet automobile when my father topped a hill, smashing into another car that was stopped on the road without its brake lights working. The impact sent my mother into the windshield, caused my father to bend the steering wheel around the steering column, and caused me to smash into the metal dashboard. My mother, who had injuries of a broken jaw and knee, saw my limp body under the dashboard amid broken glass and was gripped with fear. She suspected that I had broken my neck. Then suddenly she was overjoyed to hear me crying. The sounds broke her chilly fear of death, especially when she realized that I was just sobbing because my shoe had been knocked off my foot by the impact.

Years later in 1966, our family of five survived another accident when late one night my mother fell asleep while driving and crossed over the yellow line, heading toward a head-on collision with an oncoming eighteen-wheeler. I was asleep in the back and awoke with the car skidding, jerking sideways, and abruptly stopping on the side of a hill. A tree, acting like a roadblock, prevented the car from flipping over on the mountain. The trucker said, I saw your car coming toward me and reached for an emergency flare, knowing you were going to smash into me head-on; however, something picked your car up and set it over on the hill. He suggested, quite correctly, that someone above was watching over us.

I learned later that it was the intercessory prayer of my father that prevented the possible tragedy of our familys death that night. Twelve hours before the accident, we had been in Ohio at my aunt Janets house. Early that morning, Dad was in the bedroom groaning and travailing in prayer because he sensed that some form of danger was coming that day. The close call came twelve hours later that night. Yet, by sunrise we were back in the same car and headed home to Big Stone Gap, Virginia.

A few years ago, I was flying in the right seat of the cockpit of the ministrys 421 twin-engine plane with my friend and pilot, Kevin Wright. At thirteen thousand feet in the air, and about twenty minutes from landing in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the plane suddenly veered to the left, and I heard a sound similar to a car engine that misfires when water is mixed with the fuel. A few seconds later it occurred again, and I watched a piston monitor in front of me reveal that the right engine went out. We had lost an engine in midair! Time froze for a few seconds as the pilot put in an emergency call to the air control in Atlanta. After receiving advice, we chose to fly on one engine into Chattanooga, landing the limping plane at a few minutes after midnight.

After landing, I told the pilot that I strongly sensed that someone was praying for us at that very moment. After he returned home, his wife said, Are you OK?

He replied, I am now.

She asked, What happened?

As he told the story, his wife, Denise, commented, The Lord put a burden on me, and I havent ceased to pray for you since I saw you leave church early to pick Perry up in Kentucky. I was burdened from that moment and prayed continually because I felt you were in some type of trouble.

The following day I telephoned our head prayer leader, Bea Ogle, who directs fifteen hundred intercessors who pray for our ministry. I asked her how she was doing, and she said she was fine. However, she informed me that the night before, she had felt impressed at 11:00 p.m. that I was in some type of danger and prayed without ceasing until about 12:15 a.m. Our engine failure happened a little after 11:00 p.m., and we landed shortly after 12:15 a.m.! It was the intercessory prayers of Denise and Bea that sustained us in the plane that night.

Over the years, whenever my dads spirit was overwhelmed with a burden, he would enter into deep, travailing prayer. It was always proven later that he had interceded against some form of danger, either in the family or linked with someone we knew. Intercessory prayer and learning to follow a prayer burden has spared my life and our family members lives on several occasions.

In this book I will teach you the importance of prayer and intercession to prevent attacks of the enemy. But there is more to this book. I want to teach you about a unique,
seldom-taught covenant that asks God to release angels to assist you, and forges a protective covenant around your companion, your children, and you.
