My Testimony:

I’ve been a Christian most of my life.  I was saved when I was 8 years old.

God called me to be a minister when I was age 34.

Since then, I’ve been a youth minister and pastor.

I had Covid-19 in 2021.  It was the worst sickness I had ever faced.  My strength was gone and if I could describe it, it was like I had negative energy.  I would try to sit up in the mornings and eat breakfast.  By the time I ate half of my food, my energy was draining from me faster than I could replenish energy through the food I was eating.  So bad was my energy draining from me, I had to literally lie down and eat Fig bars later to keep some kind of energy in me along with drinking fluids.

All I could do was lie down, eat a little, go to the bathroom, and lie back down.  I did this for two weeks.  Covid-19 took my sleep away for nearly a whole month.  I never slept more than a few minutes at a time in the first month I had Covid-19.  Most of the nights, I never got any sleep at all.

When I tried to sleep, my body woke itself back up and my breathing tried to stop every time I tried to doze off.  I was afraid that if I went to sleep, I would stop breathing.  It was a terrible feeling.

After two weeks of Covid-19, one night, the little I did sleep, I woke up with chest pains as if five or more little bombs had gone off in my chest.  I didn’t think it was a heart attack, so I got up and just rested in a chair to see if the pains in my chest would go away. 

I didn’t immediately wake my wife.  That night, I never got back to sleep.  In the morning, the pain was causing my back to tighten up, so I told my wife I had better go to the emergency room.

Through testing, they concluded that I had blood clots.  I learned later that many times if Covid-19 gave you blood clots they could come two weeks after you first got Covid-19.  That’s exactly the timing of my blood clots.

I went to the hospital that evening at midnight, after a very long day at the emergency room and they admitted me into a single room.

My doctors came the next morning and one looked at the chart, looked at me, looked at my chart and looked at me again and said, “You shouldn’t be alive.”

What had happened was that a large blood clot had come from my leg and went to my lungs.  Usually, a blood clot that big would have killed me instantly. 

At the moment the blood clots went to my lungs, they broke up into several pieces, thus I had several chest pains in multiple places in my chest initially.

Jesus saved my life and healed me from the blood clots that entered my lungs, which as the doctor had said, should have killed me.  It was a miracle.

As I lie in the hospital bed a couple of nights later (I was there a week), I was lying on my back and looked at the wall.  I heard Jesus tell my spirit, “I am your Healer.”  I knew He was, but He confirmed it to me, again, that night.

I am a witness that Jesus Christ healed me and kept me from dying from the blood clots of Covid-19.

I know many have lost their lives from Covid-19 and my heart goes out to those who did die from that terrible, man-made disease.

I was one whom God saved from death for a reason and part of that reason is to share my testimony with all of you who visit my website.

One thing God led my wife to in her research about blood clots was very helpful to me.  Your body can often times dissolve blood clots on its own without medicine.  But, in some cases, like mine, my legs had swollen with the blood clots and the swelling would not go down at first at all.

Then my wife came a cross an article that said, your body needs a jump start thing (whatever the term is) to tell your body to start dissolving the blood clot.  Two things contain this starting agent to tell your body to start getting rid of the blood clots.  Apples and pineapple.  So, I started eating apples and pineapple.  Not a whole lot or anything, but some each day, though. 

Only then did my swelling start to go down in my legs from my blood clots there.  I cannot say this addition to your meals of apples and pineapples will work for you as it did me, but it might help you if you have swelling that won’t go away because of blood clots.

Just like Jesus healed me, I want you to know that God can heal you, too. 

No matter what disease you have, God is able to heal you.  I can’t say God will heal you, but simply, He can heal you.

Give your heart and life to Jesus Christ today.

If you already are a Christian, God bless you, also.

Thank you for listening.
