God
Confirms His Word with Signs &
Wonders
In January 2008 I went on a call out as an observer with an
Ambulance service in Hawks Bay, for a man who had a heart
attack.
After a total of 55 minutes with no response, 8 shocks from
the jumper leads & 3 adrenalin shots etc, the Paramedic team decided they
couldn't do any more for him and pronounced him
dead.
|
I must say, the Ambo officers did a fantastic
job and were visibly emotionally moved that they were unable to do any more for him. This is where
it got really interesting. I clearly felt God tell me to pray for him. I really didn't know what to
do, however as a believer and follower of Christ I had to do something so after a little debate
with the Lord about it being appointed once for a man to die then face judgment, I thought I should
do what I felt God tell me to do, and pray for him.
So as the paramedic team began to put all the equipment away and cover him up
while we waited for the Coroner I quietly knelt down at the dead mans feet and prayed for him that
God would give him an opportunity to receive salvation before it was too late.
In the mean time his son turned up while we were waiting for the Police, and
the Chief Paramedic told him his father had died. However, 15 minutes later while waiting for the
Coroner, the patient began making movements that a dead guy shouldn’t be making, which made them a
little concerned.
By this time the Police had arrived and because they don't put dead people in
Ambulances and also not wanting to give the son of the dead man any false hope, we asked them if it
was OK if we quickly put the man back in the Ambulance to find out what was going on, which they
agreed. We shut the door and checked his stat's; and to their surprise they found a strong pulse
and he was breathing. He was alive! Praise the Lord!
None of the Paramedic could believe it, and one told me he had 35 years
experience as an Ambulance Officer and had never seen or heard of this happening before. The other
two Officers had about 15 years experience each and had never seen anything like it either. Having
filled out a death report they now had to re-started everything as though he was a new patient, and
we rushed him to hospital.
When we arrived at the hospital the Doctor told us that if he didn't know
what we had just told him, looking at his stat's he would have thought he had an excellent chance
of pulling through, but none of them expected him to make it out of the emergency room because of
the time that had passed with no oxygen. I continued to pray for him and text everyone I could
think of to help pray/. I then bound the spirit of death and released the healing power of God.
Throughout the day I checked on him and prayed for him again when taking other patents to the
emergency room, and found he was still doing OK. When my shift finished at 6pm I was told he had
been moved to the ICU and was still doing great, much to their
surprise
.
Apparently what happened to this man actually has a name; although
very rear it is called the
Lazareth Syndrome
.
Sacked before I even got started
I was due to start training as an Ambulance Officer the following Wednesday,
but about 3 hours before it started I received a call from them telling me it had got back to them
that I had given a testimony at church on Sunday and thereby breached their confidentiality clause
and basically sacked me before I could start.
Initially I was stunned as I hadn’t given any details that could identify
anyone or whatever, but they had obviously made up their mind. I was on my way to see them to sort
it out, but after seeking the Lord He told me I had done all He wanted me to do and should drop the
idea of becoming an Ambulance Officer, what could I say but YES Lord, and His peace filled my
heart.
After seeking His will as to what I should do next I felt the Lord confirm I
should precede with the 7 week OAC School of Evangelism in Levin, even though this
didn’t make any financial sense, but again the peace of God filled my heart.
The Lazareth Guy is Alive!
I was unable to follow up the Lazareth guy because of the The great news is
that the following Sunday a lady at church told me her sister is a nurse and she had told her the
Lazareth guy is now up and walking around – Glory to His Name!!!!
Please pray for him and his families
Glory to our miracle working God!
