The spiritual prayers of those who totally trust in God can transform events and give protection in the physical world. Visions can and are used by the heavenly realm to warn us and to provide direction and protection for our life.
Does God intervene in all circumstances and change them?
No, but we need to pray for His intervention always knowing that ultimately His will will be done in the earthly realm where we reside.
Many years ago I was given 2 visions that were repeated 3 times in a row. One was the aroma of the prayers of the saints as it reached the spiritual realm, it was an old and familiar smell, and the other was the literal shield that was over me and I was allowed to hear the fiery darts that hit that shield and the ping as they were reflected off of it.
Has my life been without pain? No, but the events that I know were meant to destroy me spiritually have only strengthened my walk with the Trinity.
I believe and only that faith can get us safely home to the Father.
Why was Peter’s life spared while James’s life was taken? The answer is the sovereign will of God. If we believe that God is good and wise, we can trust that what He allowed to happen was part of His wise plan for the good of all of His people. When we place our complete trust in the goodness of God, we can find true peace.
God is in control despite any appearance to the contrary.
Acts 12:5-11
5 Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church. 6 And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison. 7 Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands. 8 Then the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and tie on your sandals”; and so he did. And he said to him, “Put on your garment and follow me.” 9 So he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. 10 When they were past the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
11 And when Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people.”
19 But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said,
