I do believe in miracles because I am one.
When I came to salvation 40 years ago, it was not because of some epiphany; it really and truly was because I did not want to go to hell. At the age of 31, I started having heart palpitations.
And they became fierce.
Each day they became more frequent. This continued for about a month when I finally sought out help. I went to a doctor who said we needed an echocardiogram.
We had the test and it showed my mitral valve was prolapsed and causing my heart to palpitate as it was.
She stated I might need a valve replacement. She contacted whoever that was and was told no valves were available. By this time I had debilitated rapidly and grown incredibly weak and losing weight, for eating was just too difficult. I had a 4-year-old son who was my treasure for sure.
One day a friend of mine called and said I heard you were not well. I said yes, it's true, they have told me I most likely will die.
She asked me to go to church with her and I thought yes, I will because I knew I was going to die, I would go to hell.
So I went into a small church I never knew was in our community. I was very weak and knew time was coming to a close.
The pastor said, is anyone here sick and needing prayer? I thought, well, that's me. I went up for prayer and he prayed for me. I went back to my seat and... Then he gave his message... And guess what?
It was all about salvation. I sat in total awe...
Not just because of being sick and prayed for, but wow, he spoke about something I never heard of before.
SALVATION YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN OR YOU CANNOT GO TO HEAVEN!
Oh no, I came to church because I did not want to go to hell!
I listened carefully and I accepted the altar call.
People all over the church prayed for me and some were speaking in languages I never knew. I actually thought, is this a church of nations? But all I needed was to be assured that indeed I was not going to hell because my life was ending. I weighed 75 lbs...
Two weeks later I had become more weak and I could no longer reach the steps. I stayed on the sofa.
Each day I was weaker.
One night I woke up... and as I opened my eyes I saw a huge black cloud, it engulfed me. I knew I was dying. My spirit was moving and I felt myself sinking into a dark abyss.
Suddenly out of nowhere came words out of my mouth, NO I'M SAVED!
I had my left hand outstretched and that dark cloud was now around my hand. Somehow I was up and moving through the dining room into the kitchen and opened the kitchen window and that dark cloud went out the window.
I went back to the sofa and fell asleep to awaken to my lovely boy saying, Mommy, are you here?
I said yes and I need a cup of tea. He was so excited, Mommy needs tea. Everyone around me thought I was rallying to, you know... the end...
But throughout the day I was gaining some strength. By the end of that week, I was back to myself.
I went back to the doctor and she said, wow, what's happened to you...
I said I went to a small church and I received salvation.
She said, well, we need to do another echocardiogram... we did.
She came back and said to me,
IT'S A MIRACLE, your heart is PERFECT!
Yes, she said MIRACLE...
I was raised in the church. I went all my life to a church I never heard the message of salvation.
I did go and speak to the Priest later. But that's another testimony... I'll share someday.
But I must say to you all...
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
Often I've prayed for people who have heart issues... and when the Holy Spirit tells me to share the scripture with them, I did with my mother... and her heart was healed... that's another testimony...
God bless, be encouraged.
Theresa
