Family Says Prayer Saved Them as Tornado Tore Home Apart

- "This is a miracle." Dr. Joshua Fowler's assessment of his family's survival after a tornado ripped through their Valley View Texas, home Saturday, and his wife and kids escaped mere seconds before catastrophe is spot-on. Fowler, a revivalist and preacher through his Awake The World ministry, emotionally recounted to CBN News the shocking events that could have killed the family - but miraculously didn't.
"I was in the living room and I had one of my spiritual sons visiting from Orlando," Fowler said. "My wife was in bed. My kids were in bed sleeping." But, despite enduring frequent storms without any hesitation, Fowler suddenly felt "prompted [by] the Holy Spirit" to go and get his wife, Lisa. "I felt prompted to go tell my wife, 'Get out of bed,'" he said, noting he also went to get his 18-month-old and 3-year-old out of their bedrooms. "I went and grabbed them, and we ran up under the smallest place in our house, which is ... under the stairs, there's a restroom, a little, teeny restroom. We got in there."
That's when he called his 17-year-old son, Benjamin, and tried to get him to join them. But, within seconds, it became clear serious calamity was upon them. "As I was closing the door, it went, 'Wham,'" and this ... tornado's [trying] to suck up our whole house," Fowler said. "We could feel the heat under our feet, and air, and moisture, and like being sucked up, and the whole house was just shaking." Unbeknownst to Fowler and Lisa at the time, a wall had come down, forcing Benjamin and the man visiting the home that night to take refuge in the pantry. Meanwhile, Fowler, Lisa, and their two younger children huddled in the bathroom as the intense winds and chaos raged just outside the door.
With horror closing in, the family turned to intense prayer. "We just began to pray ... like blood-curdling, screaming, crying out from the top of our lungs - 'God, please, please help us, God!'" Fowler said, noting the family suddenly felt the Holy Spirit and became emboldened to keep invoking the Lord. "We just begin to command the storm. We said, 'We command you to leave this land right now in Jesus' name!" He continued, "It felt like eternity. I know it was only minutes, but, somehow, in the middle of commanding it to stop, it stopped." Lisa told CBN she believes God protected their family in those moments, crediting prayer for saving their lives.
"We kind of went from a moment of just, like, bleeding out, praying, 'God help us,' and then it shifted where we felt like, 'We need to take control of the atmosphere, and, you know, use the authority that God has given us to speak to the storm." Lisa said the invocations went from fearful in nature to fervent, with the family declaring to the storm, "You've got to leave." Fowler, who survived a plane crash as a child and knows a thing or two about diabolical and scary scenarios, said this tornado situation was truly the most harrowing he's faced.
"It was scary," he said. "I've never in my life felt such terror. The family was stunned to see extensive damage to the home once the storm stopped and they were able to leave the bathroom. They're thanking God for living through it all.

Years ago, I watched a video of either after a hurricane or a tornado had hit the area, someone had written on a large piece of drywall ... it said, "I will Praise You in this Storm". The area looked like a war zone.
Manna and quail can fall again. Those like you ought to be taking u in

One time in 2015 there in Albany Georgia there was a tornado that hit a trailer park that I lived in and when it hit I went into this closet and sat in this chair and started singing the you're the master of the wind and I just started praising the Lord and I felt perfect peace like it was a sunny day while all the damage was going on outside nothing was going on on the inside of the house nothing got touched maybe a smidgen of a little tiny hole on top of the roof where the tree limb hit the the roof but it didn't touch me at all no windows were broken the walls were broken or anything so I felt like a sunny day in there while the storm was the hurricane or whatever you want to call it was raging outside I felt safe inside I felt like God I felt God's hands I felt God's hands and his arms around me it's okay it's almost like he was saying it's okay it's going on outside put inside this house it's going to be okay you're not going to be touched it's going to be okay he didn't say that out loud but I knew that's what I was getting the idea when I felt his arm around me holding me so that nothing was going to touch me I was not scared at all a little bit by a little bit the tornado calm down a little bit by little bit within 2 hours I'm sorry it was within 6 hours that tornado stopped completely even though the power went out for a week I was even then taken care of that was not a problem and the only problem I had is when the power went out cans of canned tuna you know what the crackers in the in the box and just a little bit stuff here and there there was cats and then cats were jumping all over on me as soon as I open up that tuna in can flying in my house crawling on me attacking me to get to that tuna anyway the point is God protected me no one thing touched my house in that tornado all the damage was outside the only thing that happened was a tree limb or whatever hit the roof with a tiny tiny hole that's the only thing but they had to tear down the roof anyway I mean the house anyway eventually because it was just old
Prays to Jesus Christ 🙏
JESUS saved me in a car accident. My spirit left my dead body that lying on floor, JESUS spoke to me," i had accident", n l asked for forgiveness. Then my spirit went back to my dead body! JESUS came my house with His two Angels, HE healed my neck c4,5 fractured too. Tru out the whole recovery time at home, i felt GOD is always by my side. HE never leave me. Many Miracles i have had encountered in JESUS, even till now. Now im 61 yo.

The Angels saved my brand new pool last night. Only a few inches of water we got a bad wind storm and I bagged Jesus to save my new pool. With little time left I just really wanted some fun times with my kids and grandkids. I know the Angels are the reason we still have a pool. Not the same I know it. My prayers are with all the misplaced families due to mother nature 🙏
Praise God for His mercy!
Jesus is Alive . Jesus is the same Yesterday, today and Tomorrow.
