In July 2013, a fire broke out near Mountain Center in California. That’s where Living Free Animal Sanctuary is located. They are a non-profit, no-kill sanctuary for dog and cat rescues.
When I heard the news, the Lord put it on my heart to call the Oral Roberts Ministries for prayer. I emailed my prayer request and planted a seed-faith gift against my need. The minute I hit the “send” button, it was like God gave me the peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7). I felt Him saying it was taken care of.
The first miracle that happened was that enough volunteers came to help move the animals away from the fire. 96 cats, 43 dogs, and 3 sheep…all of them were moved to safety.
Next, several fire engines came in and parked at strategic locations on the property to help fight the blaze. When the fire reached the Living Free compound, it skirted the land, causing no damage. As soon as it was past the compound, the fire ended up wiping out a lot of vacant land.
The animal sanctuary was totally untouched! It was as if God put a huge blanket over it and said, “No, you won’t touch this.” And the fire didn’t touch it!
Praise God that He loves animals as much or more than we do. And thank you for your prayers. I know they reached God’s ears, and He answered. This was definitely a miracle.
