Plumas! Plumas! Plumas!


I heard about this event from a friend of mine.

I may not get the details exact, but the 'gist' is here:

She and I were talking about how God has supernaturally protected us and how God's word can be trusted, eloquently and absolutely.

This is the story I remember:
My friends' friend was walking to and from work each day and the later was late at night. 

She was tempted to go through the cemetery to save time but was scared since it was dark and sometimes unsavory people hung out there. On this night she decided to chance it. Maybe it was cold, or rainy or she was just willing to take that risk, for a shorter route. 

As she went through the graves she was surprised by some men who meant her harm, and she was so scared she wanted to say Psalm 91 but it didn't come to mind in her fright.

 She screamed in her native tongue, "PLUMAS!", "PLUMAS!", "PLUMAS!". I don't know how many times she shouted this, but the effect was immediate and real. 

The men may have seen an angel or may have been scared of HER or something. But all I remember was that the men ran away from the lady and she felt safe and made it home safe. 

She called on God's Word and He answered. We serve a faithful God, even if we forget the verse or how it goes.  His Spirit brought the 'intent' to her mind and she knew FEATHERS, FEATHERS, FEATHERS.


This is the verse she 'remembered'. 


Psalm 91:




1
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [1]
2
I will say [2] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
3
Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4
He will cover you with his feathers /PLUMAS! and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8
You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9
If you make the Most High your dwelling-- even the LORD, who is my refuge--
10
then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12
they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15
He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."




I hope you find your peace in God's Word and His promises. Since I have been a Believer for 40 years. I have found His love, grace, miracles, favor, protection, sanity, clarity, healing power to be REAL and yes I do have a BIG imagination, but I can't imagine living without Him and His protection. 

Sometimes I have experienced Supernatural protection. The things I have actually experienced confirm His power and Word. My imagination could not give me peace when I am in a traumatic situation. 

I do not have to make God up, He has shown His love to me. He is real, as real as these words. 

Shalom, my friend, I pray for you to find your peace in His loving arms and under His protective grace.
