When God Shuts the Lions' Mouth

If you listened to my podcast you know about the vicious attack I suffered and how God led me to forgive and not avenge myself.  I did exactly that but the state took the case and pressed criminal charges and I had to testify in the trial.  Three times before I was due to testify there were traumatic events that took place that they believe were possible witness intimidation.  We ended up having to flee a few hours before I was due to testify and take safety inside a secure location within the courthouse.

I asked God to shut the lions' mouth as it had been said that I was going to be cross-examined and picked apart.  I had already heard the lies that were spread about me but I knew God was in this and He was fighting this battle because He already told my husband - let me fight this.  I also asked God to do something in that courtroom to protect my good name and character and not let Satan smear it.

God answered my prayers.  I stood up there and testified and then a 10x10 foot screen came down and they played the video of the attack.  Thank God I have cameras!!  You should have felt what came over that courtroom.  I get chills right now as I recall the atmosphere.  There were no words out of anyone as they watched what I had suffered.

Then it came time for me to be cross-examined and a pause... and no questions.  God shut the mouths of those against me and wouldn't even let them speak!

It didn't end there.  In shock to all of us, the defendant began to talk about what a wonderful person I was, a good neighbor and that I had a good heart.  I couldn't hide my shock and my mouth fell open LOL!  My husband was surprised too and the judge smiled at me.

God truly was there that day and all I'd asked Him for, He gave in ways I could have never imagined!


Daniel 6:22

My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
