From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Christopher “Legends about the life and death of Saint Christopher first appeared in Greece in the 6th century and had spread to France by the 9th century. The 11th-century bishop and poet Walter of Speyer gave one version, but the most popular variations originated from the 13th-century Golden Legend. According to the legendary account of his life, Christopher was initially called Reprobus. He was a Canaanite, 5 cubits (7.5 feet (2.3 m)) tall and with a fearsome face. While serving the king of Canaan, he took it into his head to go and serve “the greatest king there was.” He went to the king who was reputed to be the greatest, but one day he saw the king cross himself at the mention of the devil. On thus learning that the king feared the devil, he departed to look for the devil. He came across a band of marauders, one of whom declared himself to be the devil, so Christopher decided to serve him. But when he saw his new master avoid a wayside cross and found out that the devil feared Christ, he left him and enquired from people where to find Christ. He met a hermit who instructed him in the Christian faith. Christopher asked him how he could serve Christ. When the hermit suggested fasting and prayer, Christopher replied that he was unable to perform that service. The hermit then suggested that because of his size and strength Christopher could serve Christ by assisting people to cross a dangerous river, where they were perishing in the attempt. The hermit promised that this service would be pleasing to Christ. After Christopher had performed this service for some time, a little child asked him to take him across the river. During the crossing, the river became swollen and the child seemed as heavy as lead, so much that Christopher could scarcely carry him and found himself in great difficulty. When he finally reached the other side, he said to the child: “You have put me in the greatest danger. I do not think the whole world could have been as heavy on my shoulders as you were.” The child replied: “You had on your shoulders not only the whole world but Him who made it. I am Christ your king, whom you are serving by this work.” The child then vanished. Christopher later visited Lycia and there comforted the Christians who were being martyred. Brought before the local king, he refused to sacrifice to the pagan gods. The king tried to win him by riches and by sending two beautiful women to tempt him. Christopher converted the women to Christianity, as he had already converted thousands in the city. The king ordered him to be killed. Various attempts failed, but finally Christopher was beheaded. Therefore, he is the patron saint of travelers, and small images of him are often worn around the neck, on a bracelet, carried in a pocket, or placed in vehicles by Christians.” Is the story of St. Christopher, as recounted in Wikipedia, accurate?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions456 views0 answers0 votesDoes a St. Christopher medal tucked in a glove box actually impart divine protection to the vehicle? Will its efficacy vary depending on the priest who blessed it? What if the priest blessed many at the same time?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions381 views0 answers0 votesIf St. Christopher medals really are effective, does the material they are constructed with make any difference? If a child in Sunday school were to draw a stick figure of St. Christopher and say a sincere prayer to St. Christopher that the drawing protect any and all who possess it, can that serve the same purpose and impart the same level of blessing and protection?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions356 views0 answers0 votesAssuming the priest’s level of belief is paramount, does the addition of holy water to the exercise make any genuine difference?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions374 views0 answers0 votesHow much will the owner’s belief quotient and partnership status detract from the power of the blessing conferred?

It felt instructive to me in terms of the fact that there is actual physics involved in what we are dealing with, that love truly is the weapon and the answer we need.” Was this story true, and what truly happened to dissuade the attacker?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Spirit Meddlers277 views0 answers0 votesA client writes: “My wife had accelerated out of a traffic light on a high speed (50mph) 4 lane congested road with rush hour traffic and had accelerated up to 45mph when the car in front of her began stopping QUICKLY. She hit the brakes, AND THERE WERE NONE! There was an unknown brake fluid leak at the right front caliper, and the reservoir was empty. The pedal went to the floor, and there were NO BRAKES. She managed to swerve between two cars approaching a three to two lane reduction and then managed to swerve again into a right-hand turn lane to a movie theater – both swerves avoided a catastrophic collision. There was a car in front of her in the turn lane which she hit, but she was only going about 5 mph when the collision occurred. She put a nice dent in the minivan she struck, but virtually no damage to the vehicle she was driving. Firemen confirmed that there was a catastrophic brake fluid leak, and she was not cited by the police. She swears, she thinks the car was “miraculously” slowed. She doesn’t know how she maneuvered into the right turn lane successfully without hitting anyone on the way there. She’s certain there was an “angel” involved because she literally cannot conceive of another explanation for how even the car escaped undamaged. I have said multiple prayers that not only she and the girls be safe when in the vehicle, but that Creator ensure that the vehicle itself is protected from harm since we cannot afford a replacement right now.” What really happened here?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Prayer283 views0 answers0 votesWhat caused the accident?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Prayer333 views0 answers0 votesDid the Divine actually SLOW the vehicle?

I went out of my way to find this stone but do not notice any special protection powers from it. As well, I drink the water with the Shungite stones as it supposed to have fluorescence. Our teacher told us at a healing course that he always works with a Shungite stone in his pocket because it helps with healing and protective power. The water it filters contains natural antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, which makes it beneficial to our cells and tissues, along with our immune function.” Are these things true?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Disinformation448 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “Our current Lightworker Healing Protocol asks that all new spirit attachments accumulating in between repeated LHP sessions being netted to stabilize things until the Protocol can take care of removing them.
