Pastor William McDowell Testifies of Divine Protection After Surviving Fatal Car Accident

Renowned worship leader and Pastor William McDowell has shared an emotional testimony after surviving what he described as a demonic attempt on his life. The incident occurred while he was driving home after dropping his children at school when a huge black bear suddenly ran into the road, leading to a collision that left his car completely totaled.

Despite the severity of the crash, Pastor McDowell miraculously walked away without a single injury. He described the moment as nothing short of divine intervention, quoting Psalms 34:7: “For the angel of the Lord is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him.”

The Testimony of Survival

Sharing the details on Instagram, Pastor McDowell recounted the terrifying moment:

“I cannot be silent anymore. I have to testify because it FAILED!

I was praying while driving home after I dropped my kids off at school and a huge black bear ran out of the woods into the road right in front of me, straight into my car and I hit it. I didn’t even have time to swerve or hit the brakes. All of my air bags deployed and my car is totaled!

It was the largest black bear I’ve ever seen. The craziest part is the bear ran off! I know for sure that this was a demonic attempt on my life but IT FAILED! I walked away. Some don’t!

It was crazy! I’m grateful because it could have been so much worse. I just saw that my friend @dhariusdaniels was also in a wreck that also was a spiritual attack and the Lord preserved him too!

“For the angel of the Lord is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him.” Psalms 34:7 NLT

I encourage you to pray for your pastors whoever they are. We need it 🙏🏾”
