He asks: “Were my own close calls as a child, nearly attacked by a cleric, also a result of the LHP work done in recent times?” What can we tell him?

Your insight here is spot-on, that you have saved yourself, through retrocausal healing, from a great deal of difficulty by preventing being traumatized from that encounter. While this happens many times in answer to future prayer work, using the protocols is a much more effective way to ensure getting such high-level help for your life, because such things are requested to happen specifically, and from a point in time often when there is stronger conviction and belief not only in the divine but in yourself as being an effective change agent. The take-home lesson here is that it is never too late to find your way to God and receive blessings in return.
