Now I'm sure you have heard stories of People having close brushes with death but,
when it hits home it sure enough makes you shiver, when I our mama set us down and told us this story you can imagine our
shock, but here she is gone tell it to you...
Hi Everyone I'm Beverly Jackson and I have had so many close encounters with death
I just gotta give God the praise, here's what happened to me while working at Jack In The Box...
I was just 14 years old when I receieved the HolyGhost and everysummer I would go
to Huston to spend the summer with my sisters, this particular summer I was about 16 or 17 years old when I got a job at Jack
In The Box to help buy school clothes. It was late friday night, me and a young lady named Irma was closing that night, rigth
before closing I was witnessing to her about the HolyGhost, When I heard the HolySpirit of God Speak To me, to take all the
money out of the cash registers and put it in the up stairs safe. I said Lord it's not quite closing time but the HolyGhost
spoke to me again To lock the money in the upstairs safe.
I looked at Irma and told her what the HolyGhost had spoken, she said well Bev if
it's God then do it and that's what we did, just as soon as we finished locking the money up, a car pulled up in the parking
lot and just sat there. Finally after a good length of time they both got out. It was a man and woman, they pretended that
they wanted to make an oder, but they never could get the oder together, so I told them we were closing. And about that time
the man pulled out a gun and demanded for me to give him all the money in the register, I told him there was no money in there
I even opened it to show him it was empty.
The Lady became fustrated and she begin to yell at the man, "shoot her, shoot her!"
about that time he raised the gun and pointed it directly at me, when his hand came up, now ya'll might think i'm crazy but
I raised my hand and pointed my finger in his face and looked him straight in the eye and quoted this part of Psalms the 23rd
chapter, yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, he began to back away with a look
of fear on his face he eventually took off running, and she ran behind him, they both jumped in the car and drove away. I
beagn to shout dance and speak in tounges and praise my God for keeping me and Irma safe. Because poor Irma was about to have
a heart attack and she immediately fell to her knees repenting and weeping. We closed the shop after the manger and police
left, that next night I testified to what happened in church, still shouting and prasing God, and guess what? 23 years later
I'm still testfying to the power of God!
Yours Truly,
Beverly Jackson
