The Attack Of The Biker Girls!

I’d like to share how a young woman was saved from the jaws of death and found new life in Christ!

I was visiting my family in Maryvale, Arizona (a suburb of Phoenix) one day in 1976. I gave my life to the Lord a few months earlier and this was the first time we had all been together since my conversion in July of ‘75.

We were devout Catholics. We went to church on Christmas and Easter, and even put a dollar in the plate being passed around. So we were familiar with who Jesus was and lived a pretty normal life.

My older sister Sharon was in town from Las Vegas and her best friend Barb came by to visit. The day was getting late and while the rest of my family were gathered around the kitchen table playing Yatzee, I excused myself for my evening prayer time.

My dad’s master bedroom seemed like a good place to pray, being far enough away from the fun going on in the kitchen. His bathroom having no windows was just the perfect place to kneel down and get alone with the Lord.

Before I entered the room out of the corner of my eye I caught the time of the alarm-clock as the numbers were just flipping over to say 9:30. (This was before digital clocks; the numbers would mechanically flip over)

As I was about to kneel down I saw a TV screen in my mind with a tree falling. Then the Lord asked me, “What did you see?” “A tree falling,” I replied. And that was it. That’s all I saw or heard. I interceded in tongues for awhile and then rejoined my family playing Yatzee.

Barb needed to get going, since she lived in Scottsdale and it was getting pretty late. Sharon asked her if she could give me a ride home which was on her way. She agreed, but later told Sharon not to ever ask her again to give me a ride! You’ll see why.

The ride was pleasant enough I asked how her son was doing. He had been strung out on drugs and was going thru rehab. I shared with Barb how the Lord had delivered me from drugs instantly when I surrendered my life to the Lord.

Then we pulled up to a stop light about a mile from my home. It was dark and there were no other cars around. My neighborhood was a lot rougher than Scottsdale where Barb lived. While we were waiting for the light to change a VW Bug pulled up in the lane next to us.

A girl yelled out, “Hey Sunny!” (That was my nick-name back then, from the Beatle tune, Here Comes The Sun King). It was my girl friend Debbie who called out from the VW with 5 other college-age girls crammed in it.

Debbie yelled, “Guess what happened? Suzy got saved at Hand-in-Hand tonight!” “She did!,” I yelled back, “Why don’t you come over and tell me all about later on?” “Sure,” Debbie replied, “See you later!” (Hand-in-Hand was a Christian coffee house where Debbie and I would go and hear concerts; the music was Jesus Music – music that radically changed Jesus Freaks played!)

Poor Barb! Now you know why she never wanted to give me a ride home again!

Later on the girls hadn’t showed up so I went to bed. An hour later there was a banging on my door that woke me up; it was the girls frantically shouting, “Let us in Sunny!”

The girls said that when they got home there had been a party going on while they were away. Their only room-mate, a waitress, who didn’t go to the coffee shop invited some bikers over after work to get high and party.

Debbie and her sister Kathy told the bikers that the party was over and that they had to leave. The men then stood at the door while the women started to beat the girls up! Kathy got her head bashed into the wall and then escaped with Debbie out their bathroom window. They called the police from the 7-11 and then returned to the apartment. The bikers took off but had promised that they would be back later on to finish off the girls!

So here are 7 girls (the room-mate plus the 6 in the VW) in my living room with no where to go. I told them they could stay there at my place for the night and that they could crash on my water-bed. I bid them goodnight and headed for the back of the trailer to pray.

The girls said, “Aren’t you going to lock the door?” (I had a sliding glass door on my 8’ X 50’ trailer I lived in) “No,” I said, “We’ve got angels keeping watch over us tonight!” and went off to pray.

I came back a few minutes later and they were all fast asleep snuggled up there on the water-bed. I stayed up all night praying in tongues. In the morning I had my morning devotion and read the passage where it says,

Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 (KJV)

¹ Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. ² Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. ³ If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. ⁴ He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. ⁵ As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. ⁶ In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

So after my devotions I left the sleeping young women and left for work. I was on my 10-speed bicycle when the Lord explained the vision I had that night at my dad’s house. The tree was the scripture in Ecclesiastes. I was interceding for Suzy; she gave her life to Jesus at exactly 9:30 just as I glanced at the alarm-clock.

The scripture said, “. . . in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.” The Lord said if Suzy had not given her life to Christ that night she would have been killed by the bikers! WOW! I just about fell off my bike!  

But the moment didn’t last long! I pulled up to 30^th and McDowell (A busy street in Phoenix) and an accident happened right before my eyes! A car hit a motorcycle right in front of me! I immediately jumped off my bike and went to help the cyclist by waving other motorists to slow down.

The first car that pulled up was full of four paramedics on their way to work! PTL! I continued to direct traffic around the accident until the police showed up and then went on my way to work.

This has been the testimony of just one of my days, A Day in the Life, of a sold-out radical Jesus Freak!

Rev 12:7-11 (KJV)

⁷ And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, ⁸ And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. ⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. ¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

We overcome the accuser of our souls by, the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of our testimony! Keep sharing your testimony with your friends, co-workers, fellow students, relatives, store clerks – anybody the Lord nudges you to share with, and you might just have your own radical freaky Jesus moment today!
