'God Is Awesome!' Tornado Destroys House, but Prayer Closet Still Standing

The deadly, monster EF-4 tornado that recently tore through Lee County, Alabama, devoured nearly everything in its path. But one Christian family miraculously survived – huddled inside a prayer closet that was literally the only thing left standing from their house.

That massive twister killed 23 people, including four children. But amazing testimonies are still emerging in the aftermath.

Catastrophic events like this can be devastating and hard to come to grips with, but one eyewitness says this proves God's power to protect.

Jason Smith serves as a chaplain with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team, and he went to the tornado zone to minister to survivors. But what he spotted there ministered to him – a piece of slab left from a home that had been demolished by the storm, according to 11 Alive.

Smith was surprised by what he found there, so he went public with the story to offer some inspiration. And the images he shared from that house have gone viral.

"Listen to me please. I just left a family who survived the tornado in this house and the only left standing is this closet," Smith wrote in the viral Facebook post.

Sitting upright on the thick, flat piece of concrete were the frames to what appeared to be a closet.

"It's the grandmother's prayer closet, and the whole family survived."

Smith, while in total shock, also knew that there could only be one reason behind the family surviving a deadly tornado that day.

"My God is awesome!!! Shout somebody!" he said.

This isn't the only astounding story to emerge from a recent tornado. As CBN News has reported, 40 kids were miraculously shielded as they sang "Jesus Loves Me," even though a tornado in Kentucky ripped off the roof from the church where they were sheltering.

Lol.


So the christians are actually praising their God for supposedly saving just one family.


I guess all the people that died, including children were all sinners and children of the devil and deserve to die

Yes we will praise our God in every situation. If you don't like it, jump into the nearest ocean.

Who told you God saved only one family? Are your family members not alive? Are there not seven billion people who are alive in the world right now? Who do you think saves all of them? Even you with your loud mouth, do you know how God saves you everyday in ways you don't know? Do you know how many car accidents and plane crashes God averts everyday?

Four Thursdays ago, I nearly lost my dad in my arms. Yes, and even two doctors told us that it was a miracle for him to have survived. Two doctors. My dad gained consiousness at the hospital at 3am wondering how he got there. It's the same God that saved my Dad from the kidnappers den in 2013. I don't even want to go too far.

Do you know what will become of all of us if God were to take away his grace from this world? If you know what God does for us on a daily basis despite our shortcomings you will shut up and be humble.

Was it fair that only Caleb and Joshua made it into the promised Land? God honours those who honour Him, and also believes in Him.

So the people who lost their lives and property didn't honor God?
So your god's way of showing himself is leaving a prayer closet standing while the whole property is utterly destroyed?

LMAO. Religion is foolishness.

l ask again, is it fair that others perished why Joshua and Caleb who believed God made it to the promised land?

Life and death is not necessarily in the hands of the devil, nor nature but in the tongue. God have said, "what I here you say that will I do." What we say most of the time comes from what we believe.

God have said that we may say.

It's like having matches to light your stove but having nothing to cook on it.

Maybe they should go back to the closet and pray back the house.
