Once I was waiting at a stop light, when it turned green I started across. My car started rolling but there was no power. No matter how much I put my foot on the gas there was no power. I made the corner and was able to pull to the side of the road. I tried to start it and nothing happened. What to do!

I was about 4 miles from home and another 4 miles from my destination. I remembered reading that Archangel Michael was good with computers so I thought maybe he could help with the car. I said a fast prayer asking Archangel Michael to help me ‘get my car started’. Then I tried starting it again; nothing.

I decided to call my husband who was 1000 miles away on a job in another state. I knew he couldn’t do anything for me, but just hearing his voice would help me feel better. While I was talking to Paul, a work truck pulled up behind me and a man got out and approached the car. I rolled down the window (the electrical still worked), and I said good bye to Paul. The man in the truck was a mobile mechanic!

He stayed there working under the hood, trying the easiest possibility first and progressing to the more difficult. Each time we would try to start it and nothing. After changing out about 4 smaller items with no success, he finally gave the car a full blown tune up, new spark plugs and new wires! He had been working on the vehicle for 3 hours! After he put the last wire on I had this feeling of ‘OK, I’ve been here long enough, it is time to get going’ I got in the car and it started! I happily paid him for his work and got going.

OK Michael did not directly get the car going, but I believe he sent that mechanic to help me ‘get my car started’ just like I had asked. Another oddity about the incident was that I was not upset or frazzled by the delay and there was a distinct feeling that it was time to get going again after the tune up. I just knew the car would start at that point because it was just time to go.

That makes me wonder what I missed by the 3 hour delay, was this a form of protection? I will never know in this life the significance of that event, but maybe when I get home I will understand what that was all about.
