They Overcame, as I can attest that I was able to Overcome this that took place in Aug 2007.

"I was brought back from the dead" been told to those that I have had the privileged to share this testimony with.

To give comfort to those that need to know that there is life after death.

'to many I have had the opportunity to witness.

 having seen some cross over from this body of flesh to the other side of what many wonder about, that is, "what it is like to die"

I believe this fear is present, yet not thought of much of the time, by most individuals.

When a time of when we come to where two roads meet, we may have to come face to face with death, that is, the departing from the fleshly body that we inhabit while on this earth.

As I have stated in this Testimonial, there is one important thing that anyone, and everyone needs, that is, to have the life giver in a Spiritual Tabernacle.

That Tabernacle is not this flesh, per say, it is the "Inward Hidden Man of the Heart"

Do not become confused, placing your total trust in the Arm of Flesh, as this flesh is not, that is, this body which has death written all over it, it is not the Tabernacle of that which God resides in.

This may sound strange to those that do not have a Revelation of that which god is, and how he exists in our lives.

"those we"Must Be Born Again: This is why it is stated"

We are born of the woman, conceived of our earthly father and born into a fleshly body.

'of the Spirit The body that I am referring too, this is a Spiritual Body, which only is given at the time we are born.

'with these physical eyes, This Spiritual Body cannot be seen.

Jesus Christ came and took a body as we have, yet without sin, but his words was " Where I Am" meaning that he was in existence in the father in a Spiritual Body, while he was in a body of the flesh as we have.

You must understand that this flesh will never enter into the presence of God the Father, and cannot enter, neither can god enter the corrupt flesh that we have.

The Apostle Paul stated that " There is nothing good in me, that is, in my flesh"

What Paul is saying is the same as I am saying, that there must be a conversion been made, that is, a conversion of a Spiritual Body.

This Spiritual Body, this is what I was, while the Surgeon was Operating on this Carnal Body.

This Surgeon saw and heard me, along with those in that Operating Room, as I cried out "Why hast thou forsaken me"

These same words that Jesus cried was heard by those at the crucifixion, as he hang there on that cross, he felt the same pain as I felt, and even more I suppose.

The Pain he felt, I felt some of that Pain when this surgeon took the knife and plunged it into my chest to open me up again for the second time in two short weeks.

Truly, the pain was not something that I would want anyone to have to experience. I was not sedated, or put to sleep at that moment'

All that took place up to that moment, and all that took place after was pain free.

Was it that god allowed me to come to this time for a purpose?

I believe he did so that I could sit here at 4: 02 AM being awakened at 1:00 Am this night, so that I can share with the reader some more thoughts about what it is to die, that is, this body that we all have.

We all will die, that is, this body will die, be placed in the ground, or some may be at sea, or be cremated, whatever way we dispose of this body, this body will not ever be, that is, this flesh, raise as a Spiritual Body.

This Spiritual Body that will come forth out of this Body, this is the Hidden Man, or it could be said "The Inward Man"

'we all are given a body: Being that with god, there is no difference in Male and Female,.

 'that is, we all have been given a fleshly body, but those that are born of the Spirit, they have been given a body as Jesus had when he told those there to " come and feel" Luke 24:37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
Luke 24:38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Luke 24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them [his] hands and [his] feet.
Luke 24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

'Have ye any Meat?

Those there were able to see the expression of that which Jesus is and of, namely the Father.

I suppose at that moment they saw the Father, which no man had ever been able to see, not even Adam.

John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].

I wish I could have had the privilege to be able to declare what Jesus did show to these chosen.

'into the place called Paradise: What god allowed me to be in, was as close as anyone can come too without being taken.

Maybe I could have described it as "Paradise.

' as it is stated in the Scripture that there is a rest to the people of god, this being where I was, it was total Peace and Total rest, basking in the pure Undefiled love of god.

I can attest that, to those that have Jesus Christ, The Holy Ghost, God the Father, that there is no Sting of Death, and for sure, the Grave Has no Victory over those that come forth, that is, those Spiritual Born Again Believers, who have turned from their wicked ways, and have heard from Heaven.

These will be with god in Paradise, these will live forever in the presence of god, and will bask in his love that he had for the whole world.

You must make the change, or rather allow god to change you from this Fleshly Body into that Spiritual Body, that is, that Inward Hidden Man, or Person of the heart.

Just as Jesus asked, "Have ye any Meat"

Jesus wants you to eat of that Heavenly Manna.

'That is to drink from that well that you will never thirst again.

This fountain is not a well like the one that where the Samaritan Woman had to come day by day to draw water.

This well is springing up from within this Hidden man of the Heart, being filled with the Holy Ghost, you will never have to draw, or will never have to thirst again, for Jesus has this River that Flows from the Throne of God.

He wants you to wade out into this river until you swim in it, and drink without money, or price, it is free.

you cannot earn it, or be good enough to get it.

I give to you that which you cannot buy "with silver and gold"  are why.

and

It is free for the asking, and the sooner you ask god to come to you and place within you this Holy Ghost, to place this same Hidden Man of the Heart, within you, you will be glad and rejoice with it.

"me to tell her What it is like die, was what a woman came up to me and asked"

My Response

If you have this Hidden Man of the Heart, which she said she had, then I said " Don't worry about Dying' god has taken care of all that on the Cross.

It was not what I had done, or will ever have done that brought me back from the dead, but it was what Jesus Christ did on that Cross that made up the total sum.

He died so that I would not Die Spiritually.

This body, should the lord delay his coming, it will go by the grave some time or another, but this Inward Man that I have been given , this same body that Jesus showed them there by that sea, this Spiritual Body will never die... John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

There you have all the proof that you need, all you need to do is Proof Read , then head as fast as you can to that place where you can receive this Inward Man.

Mark 12:33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love [his] neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

"are more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices?"

Love not the world... John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

"I have chosen you out of the world"

This is why that I am here this morning while many are asleep, writing these words.

 So that you too, when you come to the end of your journey in this flesh, that you will experience what I did.

 That you were born with, and even more so;

 'Should you be called to this time when god will take you away from your fleshly tabernacle?

That time, this time can come anytime, at any age, and you need to start thinking about this that can happen to you, as death of this body is sure and a time is appointed;

Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Hebrews 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

AS YOU READ THIS BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS TRIAL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE UTMOST THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN THROUGH...but before I continue with what happened to me, I want to make you aware of the Importance of knowing what Deep Vein Thrombosis and how each of us should know more about it.

Below is a description of what DVT is and what the symptoms are:

Here is a web link that will be beneficial, not only, with blood clots, but many other medical issues we encounter during out life here on earth...http://www.ehealthmd.com/library/dvt/DVT_whatis.html

What Is Deep Vein Thrombosis?

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition in which blood clots form in a vein deep within the body. The word thrombosis means forming a blood clot.

Called a thrombus the clot itself is.

A blood clot is a jelly-like mass of congealed blood. Clotting is the normal way the body stops bleeding and begins healing following injury. Once the clot has done its job, the body absorbs it. Sometimes, however, blood clotting can prove harmful.

DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein and remains there.

DVT usually involves the formation of a large clot in the deep veins in the lower legs and thighs. In rare instances, DVT can occur in the area around the armpit and collarbone (axillary-subclavian vein thrombosis), in the upper arm, abdomen, or pelvic region.

It is a dangerous condition because the clot may become dislodged from the vein and travel inside the vein all the way to the lung, where it may get trapped and block a vessel in the lung. This is called pulmonary embolism, which can be deadly.

Deep vein thrombosis most often occurs in:

Hospitalized patients; following surgery.

Individuals confined to bed for prolonged periods.

Healthy individuals whose legs remain immobilized for long stretches of time, such as passengers on lengthy airline flights.

Need To Know: Because deep vein thrombosis can have serious consequences, early detection is essential to prevent complications like pulmonary embolism. Surgeons, for example, are always on the lookout for DVT following surgery.

..

Need To Know: Q. Who is at risk for deep vein thrombosis? A. Some people are more likely than others to develop thrombosis. Those at risk include: The elderly Diabetics People with blood disorders Women who take oral contraceptives (birth control pills) or other medications that contain the hormone estrogen People with a history of thrombosis; Who have just undergone major surgeries; Or those that have just suffered a bone fracture.

Although what I have been through; the experience that I encountered.

I WOULD NOT WANT TO RETRACT IT FOR ANY WEATH; OR, ANYTHING.

IT WAS NOT WHAT I HAD DONE; OR WILL EVER DO, BUT IT WAS WHAT JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY GHOST AND GOD THE FATHER DID THAT MAKES ME NOW REALIZE THAT THE GOD EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT, HE IS REAL AND IS NEAR TO THOSE WITH A CONTRITE SPIRT...A BROKEN SPIRIT.

MY TESTIMONY of what happened JULY AND AUGUST 2007.

I just recently receive a REQUEST FROM A LONG TIME BROTHER IN CHRIST wanting to hear more about my TESTIMONY OF BEING RAISED FROM THE DEAD.

THIS INDIVIDUAL HAS PASTORED FOR THIRTY-FIVE YEARS, AND HAS FAITHFULLY MINISTERED TO MANY SOULS.

RECENTLY THIS BROTHER E-MAILED ME TO TELL ME THAT HE RESIGNED THE CHURCH THAT HE HAS BEEN PASTORING.

HE DESCRIBED IT AS A LAUGH...SAYING, "HERE IS A LAUGH"

I HAVE REMOVED SOME OF THE LONG TERMONOLOGY FROM MY TESTIMONAL AND PULLED OUT WHAT I THINK WOULD MAKE IT MORE EFFECTIVE FOR THE READER TO UNDERSTAND.

LIKE THE BIBLE DESCRIBES THE WORD OF GOD.

Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

IT IS MY DESIRE TO THIS TESTIMONAL TO BE QUICK AND POWERFUL AND TO BE ABLE TO PIERCE THROUGH THE DOUBTS OF THOSE THAT THINK GOD CANNOT AND DOES NOT DO ANY MIRACLES IN THIS DAY THAT WE LIVE IN.
I AM HERE ANSWERING THIS BROTHER IN THE LORD...

You wanted to hear more about LAZARUS BEING RAISED FROM THE DEAD, THAT IS WHAT THEY AT VANDERBILT INTRODUCED ME EACH MORNING TO ALL THE OTHER DOCTORS AND PERSONELL THAT WOULD VISIT MY ROOM.

AS YOU READ AND LOOK AT THIS THAT IS PLACED HERE , I WANT YOU TO REALIZE AS I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT NOTHING THAT I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST OR WILL EVER DO, WOULD HAVE BROUGHT ME THROUGH THIS TRIAL.

I FOUND THAT IT WAS NOT MY CHOICE AT ALL

IT WAS WHAT JESUS CHRIST DID ON THAT CROSS-THAT TOOK OVER AT MY TIME OF, "WHAT WAS SURE DEATH FOR ME".

BY ALL RIGHTS I SHOULD BE BURIED IN A CASKET UNDER THE EARTH.

 BUT THANKS TO JESUS CHRIST, GOD THE FATHER, AND THE HOLY GHOST, ALONG WITH THOSE AT VANDERBILT HOSPITAL IN NASHVILLE TN THAT DID SUCH A SURPERB JOB IN DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE AND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO SAVE ME AND TO BRING ME BACK TO WHAT THEY SAID " THIS IS LAZARUS" WE RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD.

I WANT TO THANK GOD AND GIVE HONOR FOR THOSE THAT TOOK CARE OF ME.

TO MY FAIMLY AND FRIENDS I OWE A GREAT DEBT TO THEM FOR THEIR COMFORT THAT THEY HAVE SHOWN.

I REALIZE THAT MY WIFE AND CHILDREN AND IN-LAWS ALONG WITH MANY CHRISTIANS THAT PRAYED FOR ME, THAT ALL THEIR PRAYERS WAS ANSWERED.

AS YOU READ THIS AND LOOK AT THE PICTURES THAT WAS TAKEN AT VANDERBILT, I WANT YOU TO REALIZE THAT IT IS NOT WHAT YOU HAVE OR WILL DO WHEN YOU COME TO THE PLACE THAT I CAME TO, BUT IT IS WHAT JESUS SAID..." I WILL NEVER LEAVE OR FORSAKE YOU "I WILL TRY TO DESCRIBE THE EXPERIENCE AS BEST AS I CAN REMEMBER, ALONG WITH THOSE THAT HAVE TOLD ME SOME THINGS THAT TOOK PLACE THAT I WASN'T ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AT THE TIME THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING.

THE STAFF AT VANDERBILT SAID "GOD HAS SOMETHING FOR YOU TO DO" AND THEY SAID... "TO TELL MY TESTIMONAL, THAT I SURE HAD A TESTIMONAL".

THE PHYSICAN IN CHARGE OF THE CARDIAC WARD TOLD ME THAT HE EXPECTED TO HEAR FROM ME.

AS I LAY IN THE VICE OF DEATH, MY BODY DIED, (PER DOCTOR).

MY SPIRIT AND SOUL WAS TAKEN BY GOD TO A "WINDOW OF FAITH" WHERE I SAW THE VISIONS, AND THEN WAS Brought BACK INTO MY CARNAL BODY.

I SINCERLY HOPE THAT ALL THAT READ THIS WILL REALIZE AS I NOW REALIZE THAT THE GOD THAT WE SERVE IS A "GOD OF LOVE AND COMPASSION".

I HAVE WONDERED WHY THAT GOD ALLOWED ME TO SURVIVE THIS, BUT MAYBE WHAT I AM DOING NOW, WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THOSE THAT READ THIS TESTIMONIAL.

MY SINCERE HOPE IS THAT AS YOU READ THIS, YOU WILL FIND THAT YOUR FAITH IS STRONGER AND THAT, SHOULD YOU FACE THIS OR AS OTHERS HAVE FACED MANY TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS, THAT YOU WILL BE ASSURED THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE IS THE LIFE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

DO SO BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE: IF YOU HAVE NOT INVITED HIM INTO YOUR HOUSE, YOU'RE LIFE,

I WOULD NOT WANT TO FACE THE TRIAL THAT I HAVE JUST FACED AND NOT HAVE JESUS CHRIST IN MY LIFE.

THESE PICTURES THAT IS PLACE they( are enough room at this time to show those picture) IS TO ALLOW YOU TO COME TO GRIP WITH THAT WHICH CAN AND VERY POSSIBLE COME TO EACH OF US IN THIS JOURNEY ON THIS EARTH.

With this limited web-site, space is limited so that pictures will us up valuable space that is dedicated to "Revelations of God's Word" I have inserted a link here so that you can see those pictures: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1642218824960.2073954.1521535283&type=1#!/photo.php?fbid=1921048995540&set=a.1642218824960.2073954.1521535283&type=3&theater

The above link is a picture of this that was called "nothing but a devil" by Dr Amad, the lead surgeon who removed this and took this picture.

Dr Amad autographed this picture to let those that may doubt what happened and how god brought me back from the dead.

Dr Amad said, "God did this for a reason"

Here is another link of myself that was taken by my daughter, this was taken while I lay and bask in the

'UNDEFILED PURE LOVE AND PEACE OF GOD!

While I lay there, I was on life support.

I was taken into the operating room and cut open for the second time in just TWO WEEK TO THE DAY at about the same time.

Look at this picture and please do not take this lightly, as this can happen to anyone.

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1642218824960.2073954.1521535283&type=1#!/photo.php?fbid=1642218864961&set=a.1642218824960.2073954.1521535283&type=3&theater

Just recently being this Oct 1 2011, I was talking to another man that I have known for a few years.

He stated that he had been near death, as he told me that he has thousands of blood clots forming in his body, and that they had to place a filter inside him to prevent these from traveling into his lungs.

I cannot stress the fact enough to cause you to realize that this is a life-threaten issue that can occur and is very deadly.

Today being the 12 day of October 2011, I am doing as good as can be expected, and have been under the Doctor's care since this took place in Aug 2007.

I still maintain that, while some say that I should not be doing the things that I am doing, concerning the working of building a workshop, that I should be enjoying myself in my retirement, that this has been said by those, " it will kill you "

I will agree that, just maybe, I need to be walking on the beach, or traveling to destinations untold, I am one that believes that action is part of our existence.

Need to be busy doing that which will strengthen our body, mind, and soul by that I mean, we.

I read from the King James Bible, doing what I believe to be the most important thing that, along with me keeping busy, and as My Heart Doctor states " Whatever you are doing, Keep It Up"

Each visit he is assured me that what I am doing is the thing that keeps me going at my age, and that as he told me before, he really is not suppose to be talking to me, that is, I was a dead man with this DVT.

The First visit after my surgery, as he was acquired as my Heart Doctor, shortly after my previous Heart Dr, was discontinued for reason I will not mention.

He stated that he saw me on Fox TV, and also they, at Vanderbilt was having classes on me, the which I told them to use this in any way they wanted to do, if it would help someone else to do so freely.

I had been told that only Three of this that I had was known by this Hospital, as this DVT was not in its full Awareness at that time.

This was the Issue of those that I mentioned at the first Hospital that I was taken too, they was not up to the expectations, as they did not know about DVT, or they did not, and was not able to understand what was happening to me at that time of arrival at this Hospital.    

I HOPE THAT YOU DO NOT AND ARE NOT OFFENDED BY MY PLACEING THEM IN THIS DOCUMENT ON THIS WEB PAGE.

The pictures of me, and the Surgeon, along with the Nurses and THE BLOOD CLOT that the surgeon calls "THIS IS NOTHING BUT A DEVIL"

I placed them at the top where you can open them to see how that god raised me from the dead.

MY TESTIMONIAL

COMING TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST AS MY SAVIOR IN THE YEAR OF 1959; AND HAVING THIS THOUGHT TO SHARE WITH THOSE THAT DO KNOW HIM AS YOUR SAVIOR;

HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU IN ANY TRIALS OR DISAPPOINTMENTS THAT YOU MAY FACE.

Those that do not know him as your Savior, he can be near to you just for the asking.

OVER THE YEARS, I CAN SAY THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ALL THAT I SHOULD BE AS A CHRISTIAN, BUT I CAN TRULY SAY THAT JESUS CHRIST HAS BEEN ALL THAT IS WRITTEN IN THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH IS WHAT HE IS.

YES, THE WORD OF GOD IS GOD.

JESUS MADE THIS PROMISE TO THOSE THAT ACCEPT THEM AS LORD AND SAVIOR,

I WAS INTRODUCED EACH MORNING AS “ LAZARUS” BY THE PHYSICIAN IN CHARGE OF THE CARDIAC WARD AT VANDERBILT HOSPITAL IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE.

THE REASON WAS:

JULY 07- I HAD TO HAVE A DOUBLE BY-PASS ON MY HEART.

THE OPERATION FOR THE DOUBLE BY-PASS WENT VERY WELL AND I WAS DISCHARGED TO GO BACK HOME.

AFTER I ARRIVED HOME, I THOUGHT I WAS DOING FINE AND WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO RECOVERING AND BEING BACK TO MY NORMAL SELF.

I WALKED UP A FLIGHT OF STAIRS AT MY HOME, WHEN I REACHED THE TOP I COULD GO NO FARTHER; I HAD TO HAVE HELP FROM MY SON TO GET ME DOWN TO THE LOWER LEVEL.

THEY SAID THAT I COULD CLIMB STAIRS AS LONG AS I DID NOT PULL WITH MY ARMS AND IT WOULD BE FINE.

I HAD TO LIE DOWN IN BED AND AFTER SEVERAL HOURS INTO THAT NIGHT, MY WIFE CALLED 911 TO COME AND TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL.

THE AMBULANCE CAME AND PREPARED ME FOR THE TRIP TO THE HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM.

I WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER AT LEBANON TENNESSEE WHERE MY HEART SPECIALIST’S OFFICE IS NEARBY.

AFTER ARRIVING THERE THEY LET ME LAY THERE IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING WHEN MY HEART DOCTOR CAME IN AND ADMITTED ME TO THE HOSPITAL.

THAT DAY TEST WERE RUN ON ME TO FIND WHY THAT I COULD NOT BREATH VERY GOOD, FOR I HAD TO HAVE A OXYGEN MASK ON TO BREATH, AND THEY DID A SONOGRAM CHECKING MY GALL BLADDER AND KIDNEYS, IT HAD NEVER ENTERED INTO THEIR MINDS TO CHECK FOR A BLOOD CLOT.

MY VITAL SIGNS WAS GOOD FROM THE DOUBLE BY-PASS AND THAT FIRST NIGHT MY WIFE LEFT TO GO AND STAY WITH MY SON AND HIS WIFE THAT LIVED NEAR-BY.

THE NEXT DAY I WAS IN MY ASSIGNED ROOM, HAVING VISITORS, MY WIFE RETUNED TO BE BY MY SIDE.

GOING INTO THE NIGHT AND WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE MORE TEST DONE THE NEXT DAY, DURING THE NIGHT MY WIFE NOTICED THAT I BEGAN TO TURN BLUE, AND SHE PUT A CALL FOR AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.

THIS WAS A LIFE THREAT TO MY LIFE AS I HAD STARTED TO LEAVE THIS WORLD AND COULD FEEL MYSELF DEPARTING.

MY SON AND HIS WIFE HAD BEEN CALLED IN ALONG WITH A CALL GOING OUT TO ALL MY CHILDREN TO COME TO THE HOSPITAL.

THEY CALLED A SPECIAL NURSE FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE HOSPITAL, AND ANOTHER NURSE WAS CALLED IN FROM OFF DUTY TO MY BEDSIDE.

THEY THEN CALLED MY HEART DOCTOR AND HAD HER STANDING BY AND FINALLY MY HEART DOCTOR WAS CALLED TO THE HOSPITAL TO MY BEDSIDE.

MY HEART DOCTOR FINALLY REALIZED THAT I HAD A BLOOD CLOT AND TOLD MY WIFE THAT, “HE HAS A BLOOD CLOT”

MY WIFE BECAME VERY UPSET AND WANTED ME MOVED, “RIGHT NOW” TO VANDERBILT IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE.

THE SURGEON THAT HAD PERFORMED THE DOUBLE BY-PASS HAD TAKEN A TRIP TO CALIFORNIA AND WAS STILL IN CALIFORNIA WHEN MY HEART DOCTOR CALLED HIM AND HAD HIM TO GET IN-TOUCH WITH VANDERBILT TO ARRANGE TO HAVE ME A ROOM READY.

HE ARRANGED THE ROOM WHILE I WAS BEING STABILIZED FOR THE MOVEMENT TO VANDERBILT.

THE AIRLIFT FLIGHT WAS CONSIDERED.

THE FLIGHT WAS TOO RISKY; AS IT HAD MANY VIBRATIONS WHEN IN FLIGHT AND WAS RULED OUT.

AN EMERGENCY AMBULANCE WAS BROUGHT IN.

AFTER I WAS STABILIZED ENOUGH TO MAKE THE TRIP "I WAS PREPARED TO BE MOVED"

I WAS PUT INTO THE EMERGENCY AMBULANCE AND TRANSPORTED TO VANDERBILT HOSPITAL IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE.

MY SON RODE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SAID THAT THEY WERE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS AT TIME IN EXCESS OF ONE HUNDRED MILES PER HOUR.

ARRIVING AT THE EMERGENCY AT VANDERBILT, I WAS RUSHED TO MY ROOM AND FROM THERE THEY RUSHED ME TO THE C T TO HAVE A SCAN MADE, THEN BACK TO MY ROOM.

NO SOONER THAT I ARRIVE BACK FROM THE C T THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY CALL DONE BY THE DOCTOR AND NURSES, AND IMMEDIATELY THEY TOOK ME FROM MY ROOM AND RUSHED ME TO THE OPERATING ROOM.

THERE WERE FIVE DOCTORS THERE IN MY ROOM IMMEDIATELY ... THEY GRABBED ME AND WHEELED ME DOWN THE HALLWAYS AND RUNNING PEOPLE OUT OF THE ELEVATOR THAT WAS AVAILABLE, PUTTING A KEY IN THE ELEVATOR AND MAKING IT NONE STOPS TO THE FLOOR OF THE OPERATING ROOM.

OFF THE ELEVATOR AND DOWN THE HALLWAY, SHOUTING FOR EVERYONE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, “WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY”

THOSE IN THE HALLWAYS QUICKLY MOVED THEMSELVES AND WHAT EVER WAS IN THE WAY, THEY MOVED IT QUICKLY.

I REMEMBER GOING THROUGH ALL THIS, AS I WAS AWAKE AND ALERT ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.

WHEN THEY WHEELED ME INTO THE DOORS OF THE OPERATING ROOM, I COULD SEE THE ROOM WAS FILL WITH NURSES AND DOCTORS, “ MAYBE SOME OF THEM WAS ANGELS” WHO KNOWS WHO WAS THERE.

THEY BEGAN TO PREPARE ME AS THEY WORKED REVERENTLY TO OPERATE AND REMOVE THE BLOOD CLOT FROM MY BODY THAT HAD MOVED UP FROM MY RIGHT LEG AND WAS LAYING READY TO GO DOWN INTO MY LUNGS.

ONLY GOD KNOWS HOW THAT THIS BLOOD CLOT DID NOT MOVE ANY FARTHER, HAD IT MOVED ANY FARTHER I WOULD BE DEAD INSTANTLY.

THE SURGEON ASKED FOR THE KNIFE AND TOOK IT AND PUSHED IT INTO MY CHEST WHERE I HAD HAD BEEN OPENED UP TWO WEEKS TO THE DAY AND THE SAME HOURS BEFORE.

I SUPPOSE IT TAKES TIME FOR THIS TO TAKE PLACE AND COULD ONLY BE DONE SAFELY AS THEY HAD NOT YET PUT ME TO SLEEP.

WHEN THE KNIFE WENT INTO MY CHEST, I FELT A PAIN LIKE I HAVE NEVER FELT BEFORE.

I ASKED GOD THE SAME QUESTION THAT JESUS ASKED AS HE HANGS ON THE CROSS-WITH THE NAILS IN HIS HANDS AND FEET, ALONG WITH THE THORNS ON HIS HEAD AND HIS SIDE HAVING BEEN SPEARED AND BLOOD AND WATER RUNNING DOWN TO THE GROUND.

I ASK, “WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME”, I FELT THAT GOD HAD FORSAKEN ME.

I FELT TOO THAT GOD HAD FORSAKEN ME, AS THE PAIN WAS INDESCRIBABLE.

I ALSO ASKED GOD TO, “LET ME DIE”.

I ASKED THEM THERE IN THE OPERATING ROOM TO, “PLEASE PUT ME TO SLEEP”.

I FINALLY WAS ASLEEP.

THEN MY SOUL AND MY SPIRIT WAS TAKEN FROM MY CARNAL BODY AND TAKEN TO A, WHAT I DESCRIBE AS, “WINDOW OF FAITH”.

THERE I BEGAN TO BE ALLOWED TO SEE FIRST OF ALL, AN ANGEL WHO HAD BLOND CURLY HAIR AND A WHITE ROBE. “I AM ASSUMING IT WAS AN ANGEL” HE LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND TURNED AND WALKED OFF, “I THOUGHT THAT WAS STRANGE”.

I GUESS HE MAY HAVE COME FOR ME TO TAKE ME TO BE WITH ALL THE OTHERS THAT HAVE GONE TO PARADISE, BUT WAS NOT TO BE AT THAT TIME.

THE NEXT VISION WAS OF A JACKASS THAT WAS LARGER LIKE A ZEBRA, BUT DID NOT HAVE STRIPES BUT HAD GRAY HAIR.

THIS JACKASS WAS LOOKING STRAIGHT AHEAD AND IN HIS SIDE WAS A MULTITUDE OF ALL SORTS OF PRECIOUS STONES, THEY MOVED FROM PLACE TO PLACE, EACH ONE OF THEM THAT MOVED, WAS ALWAYS REPLACED WITH ANOTHER THAT WOULD BE MOVED INTO THE SAME PLACE THAT THE OTHER MOVED AWAY FORM.

THE BEAUTY OF THEM WAS SO INDESCRIBABLE BY ONES VOICE.

IN ADDITION, I SAW ANOTHER VISION OF SEVERAL LARGE DIAMONDS ABOUT THE SIZE OF VOLLEYBALL; THEY WERE IN A TRAY LIKE SHAPED THAT HELD THEM.

THESE DIAMONDS HAD PROJECTILES THAT PROTRUDED FROM THEM, BEING SEVERAL AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE DIAMONDS.

ON EACH OF THE PROJECTILES WAS SMALLER BALL LIKE DIAMONDS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A TENNIS BALL.

AS I BEHELD THOSE DIAMONDS IN THE TRAY, ONE OF THEM AT A TIME WOULD RUN OUT FROM THE OTHERS FOR A FEW FEET THEN RUN BACK INTO THE TRAY OF THE OTHERS.

THEY ALL KEPT DOING THIS, RUNNING OUT AND THEN RUNNING BACK IN.

THESE AGAIN WERE INDESCRIBABLE IN BEAUTY.

ANOTHER VISION SHOWN ME WAS THAT OF FLAMES OF FIRE LIKE APPEARANCES THAT SEEM TO GO FOREVER, THEY WERE IN FOLDING BACKWARDS, AND THE BEAUTY OF THESE WAS INDESCRIBABLE.

I COULD HEAR WHAT SEEMS TO BE VOICES AS I LAY NEAR A WINDOW THAT I COULD NOT SEE THROUGH, THESE VOICES SEEMED TO BE THOSE THAT WERE IN PARADISE WITH JESUS.

I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE SAYING, BUT I KNEW THAT THEY WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS WINDOW.

I SAW NO BRIGHT LIGHTS AS OTHERS HAVE SAID THAT THEY SAW, AND HEARD NOT OTHER VOICES OTHER THAN THOSE THAT WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WINDOW.

I WAS IN WHAT I DESCRIBE AS TOTAL PEACE, OR TOTAL LOVE.

I KNEW THAT GOD WAS THERE AS SATAN BROUGHT ON ... THIS ATTACK HIMSELF.

I KNOW GOOD ONLY AWARDS US WITH GOOD THINGS.

THE SURGEON THAT REMOVED THIS TOLD ME THAT “THIS IS NOTHING BE A DEVIL”

HE HIMSELF REALIZED THAT MY LIFELINE WAS BEING TAKEN AND STATED THAT GOD KEPT ME FROM DYING FOR A REASON.

THE SURGEON HAD A PICTURE CAMERA CELL PHONE AND TOOK A PICTURE OF THIS BLOOD CLOT THAT HE HAD JUST REMOVED FROM MY ARTERY’S THAT GOES INTO MY LUNGS.

THIS BLOOD CLOT WAS OVER SIXTEEN INCHES LONG.

THEY AT VANDERBILT SAID THAT THEY HAD KNOWN OF ONLY THREE THAT SIZE.

THEY SAID THAT ONE DIED IN IRAQ WITH ONE THAT SIZE, THE OTHER WAS THERE AT VANDERBILT AND HAD A THIRTY-INCH LONG BLOOD CLOT AND HE SURVIVED FROM IT.

THIS ONE THAT WAS TAKEN FROM MY BODY WAS THE THIRD ONE AND ALL CREDIT GOES First TO, GOD, AND TO THE FINE SKILLED SURGEON THAT SAVED MY LIFE.

HAD HE NOT ACTED QUICKLY AND BEEN GIVE THE KNOWLEDGE BY GOD, TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM SUCH IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, MY BODY WOULD BE BURIED IN THE GRAVE, BUT MY SOULS AND SPIRITUAL BODY WOULD BE WITH JESUS CHRIST IN PARADISE.

I SAID TO THOSE AT VANDERBILT, “HONOR IS GIVEN TO THOSE THAT OPERATED AND TOOK SUCH TENDER AND FINE QUALITY CARE OF ME”, BUT THE GLORY “BELONGS TO GOD”.

THE OTHER PICTURES ARE SHOWN AS PROOF THAT WHAT I AM TELLING YOU DID HAPPEN AND THAT THERE AT VANDERBILT IT WAS SAID, “I HAD LEFT MY MARK AROUND HERE”.

ALL OF THOSE THAT WORKED IN THE CARDIAC WARD KNEW THAT GOD HAD BROUGHT ME BACK FROM THE DEAD AS THE PHYSICIAN THAT BROUGHT OTHER VISITING DOCTORS OR INTERNS ALONG WITH THOSE, HE WOULD INTRODUCE ME AS “ LAZARUS” EACH MORNING AS HE VISITED MY ROOM.

HE WOULD SAY TO THEM, “WE RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD”.

I HAVE PLACED THESE PICTURES HERE FOR TO REMOVE ANY DOUBT THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT GOD BRINGING ME BACK FROM THE DEAD, THROUGH THOSE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN GREAT TALENTS AND SURGICAL SKILLS UNTO.

Today Is June 10 2008

I want to share with the readers of this web site the facts concerning my report that was given today as I visited the Vanderbilt Hospital located in Nashville TN.

Arriving at Vanderbilt early, around 7:30 am, I checked in and done the paper work, then was taken to have an Echogram on my Heart.

If you have read my Testimonial then you are aware of the procedure that was performed on me, if not you can scroll down on this page for the complete documentary of what took place with me.

The Echogram was done today, and the reading from the Echogram showed that nothing of any concern was found, that my heart was in good condition.

After Visiting with my Heart Doctor there at Vanderbilt, other things needed to be done, such as:

Blood was taken for to monitor my Coumadin level, this is for thinning my blood and keeping it as a safe level to prevent having a blood clot.

As you read the transcript, you will see the 16-inch blood clot that was removed from the top of my lungs.

This was quite an experience for my family, and me as it took my life from me.

The Cardiac Ward, those that were in charge introduced me each morning as Lazarus, saying, "We Raised Him from the Dead"

Truly if you will read the transcript below, and look at the pictures, you will see that I was on Life Support.

I wrote afore in my own words, " I left, that is my Soul and Spirit left my body while they, the fine skilled Doctors and Nurses, and all that was there in the Operating room, did marvelous & fine job.

After I had completed my required test and all today, I looked and saw Two of the Nurses, the first one smiled as she came by, and I don't know if she remembered, but I'm sure that she was wondering where she had seem me.

She was and is in one of the final pictures that was taken along with another Male Nurse, but the Surgeon that opened me up the Second time in just Two weeks from the day, to the same hour, there about, he also is in the picture.

Again, I want to thank God first; Jesus Christ and the Holy ghost for this victory that I am able to sit and communicate to you the reader today.

This other Nurse, she was one that I personally had a medical experience with, she would be the one to always remove the wires and the tubes, having to jerk them from running inside me, and believe me the pain was not something that I enjoyed.

As she did her job, and died it very well, I remember that she always had A Big Smile, and that smile made the pain seem to be less than what it really was.

Today she was walking by, and when our Eyes met she knew who Lazarus was, and with excitement I was able to proclaim out Loud, that "This is Lazarus" and she responded with great joy to see me there.

She then wanted me to Walk to the Intensive Care Unit so that she could tell the others that I was there today, and that looking at me, she along many others there knew that God had performed a Miracle on me by bringing me back from the Dead.

My Wife and I walked with her to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, and she begin to ask those that if they remember Lazarus, and they responded with a "Yes I Remember"

One of the Male Nurses grabbed me and gave me a big Hug.

Then the "Flash Back of all that I went through Flashed before my Eyes, and Tears began to come from My Eyes, and the Joy that we shared there with them makes, even though the Pain that I suffered, makes this experience un-retractable, meaning that I found Joy in My Persecutions that was laid upon me.

With that visit and the other visits and being able to share with those that took my blood sample, and those that took an EKG, I saw the Spirit of God's love wittiness to each one that I shared it with.

I know that each of us sometimes have to come to the road where "Two Roads Meet"

Some of us may have to borrow a Jackass like Jesus did to ride into Jerusalem to be humiliated, and Rejected.

When we come where Two Roads come together: we can find that there is - Even the Beast there that we" can climb upon"

With that, we can know that Jesus has traveled on that beast, and is still directing our paths for the good.

That the outcome that we cannot realize at that moment has already been tried by Jesus Christ.

As Jesus looked beyond the Cross-, I am sure that that Donkey was the Instrument that would carry him to his final hour on this earth as the Very Human, Yet God, and Redeemer.

Jesus was able to see for me beyond my circumstances that I was about to endure and to make sure that "I Overcome it also, just as he overcome for me and the rest of the world"

My visit today did not yield the hope that I would be able to see all those that took fine and Tender Care of me at Vanderbilt Hospital.

The Joy of seeing some of them, along with being able to "expound the moving of the Sprit"

Among those that I was able to talk to I found that those that did hear my testimony about what took place, were eager and said that they really was glad to hear the words come from my heart, out of my lips.

Now this brings up the fact, that I want to share with the reader, although they were paid to do their Job, I noticed the Gifts Of God working through each of them, as they did what they felt from their hearts.

Not that I would want to endure the same Afflictions that I had to endure

Nor would I want anyone, even my worst enemy, to have to endure.

But to say that this trial, and what I have been able to Share with those, whom tears have run down the cheeks of some; I would not rejoice in the health that I had most of my life, which I thank god for.

I rejoice that through those that did a service to me during this Illness, and for what the outcome is.

I would not want to retract it for any amount of money or processions that I have or may have.

What I want to leave with the reader is, that we as god's chosen people, we sometimes find ourselves doing the same thing as those Jews did when Jesus came, they were placing burdens, many burdens upon those that aren't able to bear them alone.

Just as Jesus had to ask for someone else to carry his load, the cross, for it was too heavy for God to carry, truly he found himself in the same situation that I was in, but in a different manner.

I asked god, "Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me"

Just as Jesus was human, yet without sin.

'I too am and not without sin as we have all sinned, always have been Human.

The Pain that I felt as the Surgeon stuck the knife into my chest for the second time in Two short weeks, to open me up to remove this, what the Surgeon called " This Is Nothing But A Devil' .

I begged god to die, and begged those there to put me to sleep, as they really had not time to put me to sleep due to the Emergency of the Blood Clot.

I had already turned blue, at another Hospital, which I have said along with my wife, that we will never go back to that place ever again.

There, I was treated like I have by some of those in the Churches that I have been in, Preached in" Pure Devils.

Just like the one that crawled up out of my right leg, and made way to go into my lungs, taking my Lifeline from me.

I know what it is to die in the Flesh, but not to die spiritually.

Some have died without Jesus Christ in their lives.

Believe me; you will not want to go where I laid, without God in your life.

You can boast in the fact that you pay your Tithes, and Pray.

 You can Fast and do all sort of things that you believe that gets you a better position with god.

Let me tell you first hand that, "It doesn't make any difference what you have done, either good or bad"

The place that I came to; It was not what I had done, but what "Jesus Christ" done when you come to,

A Nurse ran down the Hallway saying, "I am going to pray for that man" as the doctors wheeled me to the operating room in such a frantic dramatic hurry.

Running people off of the elevator, putting a key in the elevator to make it express to the floor of the operating room;

'Then running as hard and fast as they could, yelling to those in the hallways to get out of the way saying " We have an Emergency"

Wheeling me into the operating room, while I am awake and aware of all that is being done.

 I can say that I had no fear at all.

I knew that there were those that were concerned about my welfare, and showed it.

Most of all, The Holy Ghost, being God the Father, and God the Son, was riding with me in my heart.

When I was wheeled into the Operating room, I have never seen so many persons in one room.

They were there, and who know, maybe the Angels of God were there, and most of all, I suppose that I could say that, Jesus was there too.

Well you will have to read my Testimonial, and as the Head Physician said. "Tell everyone what God has done for you, and that God had kept me here for a reason"

He wanted me to go to churches and tell my testimonial, for he said, "I sure had A Testimonial"

I wish that I could have seen him today, and shake, or even give him a hug, but it was not to be.

However, I did get to see some of them and O how I wish I could find such Vehement Love among those that seems to have all the answers.

'It is not I that will determine However,

All that will become of each of us will be what he has done for us, that day on the Cross.

I serve a resurrected Lord.

 God of the Living and not the Dead.

Please, when you read these lines, please say a prayer for me.

Also, pray that those that are stated in the following passage of the Bible would take heed to what it is required.

 "I have already done so" and for to bring love once again to our nation.

This must be done, as an absolute for each of us...

2 Chron. 7:14 (KJV) If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

He is not talking to the Jews only, (Those that do not believe that Jesus is the Christ) but the Spiritual Jew, which you and I are. The Jew Inward that we are called by his name, and his name is "Jesus Christ" the Emanuel.

AMEN:

Update:

My Recovery has been as expected, being now the 8th Day of June 2008.

I must admit that what has happened has left its mark upon my body, and has left among many things, thoughts that are sometime depressing.

Not being able to come to grips with the illness would be as expected, that is, when you are not at your full potential, or expected potential.

Having to admit that, just maybe, that I will never be the same again as I was before, has taken its toll upon both my body and my mind.

With the medication that one has to take with such a drastic event, is like having to depend upon something or someone to be able to continue in life.

Life itself has become at times a dread, and sometime one could very well be satisfied to have gone on to be with the lord, and would not have to go through the recovery part.

I ask the question, "Why" and I suppose from hearing others talk about some of their experiences, and having read the book titled " 90 Minutes In Heaven" which makes one realize that your troubles have not surpassed the toll that came to this individual that stood in the pulpit and preached the Gospel for years.

I truly do not read very many books, as if the time it takes to read them, I feel that that time could be spent on reading the King James Version Bible.

The reason that I stated the King James Version is as I have written before and in other documents in this website, that it is what I have always been able to draw from this well, the hope and the comfort that I had when this tribulation, or trial, that came my way in life.

Having experienced that, of leaving of my body, that is my soul and Sprit, the Hidden Inner man that the Apostle Paul talked about, knowing that while I am at home in this body, that I am absent from the Lord.

2 Cor. 5:4-10 (KJV) For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

Truly I have felt that at times, " I would rather depart from this body" so that the place that my Spirit and Soul departed to, while the Surgeon was doing the repair on this body, for to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord.

2 Cor. 5:8 (KJV) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

This brings up the thought that as since then, I have shared my Testimonial with several, " ONE ON ONE" and having seen tears run down the cheeks of some, while others have listen with unbelief, it makes on to wonder sometime if anything that we do or say, if it makes any difference to some.

The most difficult part of the experience is the rejection on the part of many, and this I say, most come from those that are said to be children of god, who go to church and sit in the seats of the place where god is to meet with them.

The unconcern from a lot of them makes one think that what Jesus went through, and the Pain that I have gone through with this situation, the pain of the Surgeon taking the Knife, plunging it into my chest, to open me up the second time in just two weeks from the day.

I was opened up and the pain was so great that I begged God to let me die.

I feel that the apostle Paul, being persecuted by his familiars would bring up the thought, and, the scripture that is written in the book of Psalms.

Psalm 55:12-14 (KJV) For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

[13] But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

[14] We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

Here is the depiction of that of Jesus Christ, as he walked among his own, those that he came from the portal's of Glory, to share his blood, to redeem them back to the love of god the father, yet they rejected him.

Not only did they reject him, they humiliated him, causing him to be acquainted with grief.

'many stood by with their self-righteousness.

That would be ok with them. (who would have cared less) should god choose not to bring his life back into his body.

"When Lazarus was raised from the dead"

This is what David is writing about.

His Familiars, those that he had attended the house of god with, how that they were his worst enemies, just as those that Jesus went side by side into the house of god.

This is the worst part of any trial.

Just as Job, when he found himself in the heat of the battle with Satan, he had his familiars.

His helpmate wanted him to curse god and die...

Job 2:9 (KJV) Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

"now just give in to the tribulation and get out of my way" In other words, you have had it.

Was it the wealth that god blessed job, that caused his wife to say these words to her husband, or was it the loss of the Children and all his wealth that she had been use to, having to now go and beg for food and shelter.

The grief must have been great as she stood by so helpless, watching Satan tear away everything that had been given by god, to come to naught.

I suppose this is to be expected, and his friends, if you could call them his friends, they were quick to point out that, "He deserved what he was getting"

That god was getting even with him.

You that read this, you may have thought the same thing about my trial, and wondered if god was taking me down to a level to where that I would be somewhat a different type of Individual.

In some of the e-mails; it does not take much wisdom to see; when your friends fail to respond to what is supposed to be the reasonable thing for them to do.

It seems that, as one said, "don't ask how you are doing" for they will tell you how they are doing.

Not that I needed them: it was Christ that was there in the mist of my trial.

And took me into the bosom of the love of the father, placing me into that time where he could show me and allow me to hear the voices of those that have gone on to the other side to be with Jesus Christ.

I heard their voices, as they were discussing certain things, and being allowed to See the Four Visions, one being an Angel, or maybe it was Jesus Christ, he had a white robe, blond curly hair, and he looked me in the eye, and then he turned as walked away.

I did not understand what was the purpose of him walking away, but I would assume that it was a Angel coming or being sent to me to take me into the streets of gold, and almost it was to be, but not at that time.

At that time, being around Five Hours on the Operating table; I was allowed to lie in, or bask in the love of God.

'in total Peace and Comfort.

There was no Fear, as Jesus Said.

1 John 4:18 (KJV) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

I must have been made perfect, that is, not of myself and my doings, but that perfect love took me from my body and placed me in the perfect love of god.

There is no fear in death, there is no sting in death, and there is no victory in the grave.

I can attest to the fact that after the pain of the knife, I was taken into that place where there was no pain and no fear.

"come to the same place" Can I remind you, that you will someway; someday, if the lord should tarry?

There will be either the Love of God surrounding you at that moment that you depart from this body.

Whether you will, or have choose to serve Jesus Christ, will depend upon not what you have done.

That Jesus has chosen you to be part of what he is and where he is.

You cannot get there with all the things that you do, such as Tithing, which is good, or through the Law, or even being real good.

It will be that which you have chosen to accept, that is the Grace of God.

It is as if you have deposited in your bank account a Trillion Dollars, (Usually we say a Million, Inflation is on the rise this day and time) so now that amount is there but you will not go to the bank and withdraw any for you want to hold onto it and keep it for your own selfness reasons.

Not any good does it do you to have god, but never coming to God to receive.

Have I come through this as a better person?

I do not know if I will ever be any better that what I am.

It may be that I may disappoint god and you also.

In the facts that as my experience like a lot of others in particular, who have gone far from god?

'because of the troubles that they have faced.

I count it all Joy to be able to abound both in Trials and in good times.

'and don't need to be in a Trial to know that God is there with me.

For god has said.

Hebrews 13:5 (KJV) Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Why is it that I said...? "Why hast thou forsaken me god"?

Jesus said the same thing to his father, as he hang in the middle of death as it seized upon his body...Matthew 27:46 (KJV) And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

It was that he tasted the same pain as I tasted when the knife went deep into my chest, cutting me open before I could be put to sleep.

For the urgency was at death's door, and the Surgeon knew that he had no time for to wait on them to put me to sleep.

Take a good look at my body as it was hanging in the balances of life and death, and as they, at Vanderbilt said, "We Raised Him From The Dead"

Yes they call me Lazarus.

Two weeks ago I was back for to see another doctor, and he stated that he saw me on TV and that they had classes on my circumstance, which I approved for them to use it in any way that they saw fit.

It was a shocking thing to look at the Picture, of that which, The Surgeon called, "A Devil" saying that that 16-inch plus Blood Clot was nothing but a devil.

Yes they introduced me a Lazarus each morning, and the also said that "I left My Mark On Them" there at Vanderbilt.

Only three of that type of situation has been known to them, of course there are those that had blood clots even large, but to travel up and lay at the top of the Lungs, it is not often that any would survive.

Two of us, did, the other died in Iraq, and the other one was over 30 inches long.

As the Surgeon told my wife, " He is a dead man with this" Truly he had not given my family and friends much hope, but Praise God, and as I said to the Doctors and staff, " I will give you honor, but the glory belongs to god" they said that is the way it is to be.

I am doing fine as far as the recovery, I walk my dog each day< O I could say that she walks me> but without her I would not walk as much, and being that we walk down off of the mountain where I live and then climb back up, being 500 ft above the lake.

Not that we walk that far down, but about half of that distance down, and then back up.

This is something that they at Vanderbilt ask me, " Are you still walking" and of course I reply, " Yes every day" that is some days I may be not able to walk due to other things that I suffer from trying to be like I use to be.

I have overdone it and had to have my son walk my dog, for she demands that we go walking.

She is an Akita, a very lovable big bundle of, maybe sometime trouble, but most of the time she is a true companion.

As my real companion, Jesus Christ, then my Wife and Children, they all have been very supportive in my recovery, and I thank god for all that have showed concern.

But during this past 11 months, I have had only one man that said that he would help me if I needed him, other than that, one man came and did a hour or two of service, but most of all my wife and my son that lives with me, along with my Akita, have stuck by my side.

The other children has their lives and like man they just do not have time or cannot get away to be able to help out in this crisis.

UPDATE, TODAY IS OCT 31 2010 HAVING GONE THROUGH MANY VISITS WITH THE HEART DOCTOR AND THE MEDICAL DOCTOR; I HAVE NOTICED MY STRENGTH IS DWINDLING FAIRLEY RAPID AT TIMES.

MY HEART DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT, AFTER DOING SOME EXTENSIVE BLOOD WORK, THAT HE CONCLUDED THAT I HAD SLEEP DISORDERS, REFERRED ME TO TAKE THE SLEEP DISORDER TEST, WHICH I HAVE COMPLETED AND SURE ENOUGH I HAVE SLEEP APTHIA. (O I SUPPOSE THAT IS THE WAY IT IS SPELLED).

NOW THAT I WEAR THE MASK EVERY NIGHT, I HAVE GAINED MY STRENTH BACK TO WHERE I CAN DO MORE WORK, WALK MORE AND HAVE GOTTEN A GOOD REPORT FROM THE DOCTOR.

I SUPPOSE THAT MY BEING 74 YEARS OLD WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH ME HAVING TO SLOW DOWN A BIT.

YOU WOULD NOT THINK THAT I HAVE DONE THAT, AS I AM ALWAY BUSY: BUILDING AS I HAVE BEFORE ALL THIS HAPPENED TO ME.

I DO WITNESS TO AS MANY AS I CAN, I STILL WORK AND WALK MY AKITA, AND HAVE AQUIRED A BORDER COLLIE, WHICH SHOWED UP AT MY DOOR AND WANTS TO BE MY DOG.

NOW THAT I HAVE TWO DOGS, MY LOAD IS INCREASED, AND AS GOD SAID THAT HE WOULD NOT PLACE ANY MORE BURDENS THAN THAT WHICH I CAN BEAR, SO THIS IS A TIME OF CHALLANGES AND I AM DOING, BY THE HELP OF GOD ALL THAT I CAN DO TO MEET THOSE CHALLANGES.

OTHER THAN , ALMOST CUTTING TWO FINGERS OFF, I AM DOING WELL AND STRIVING TO LIVE 120 YEARS, BUT I DID AGREE TO LET A FRIEND HAV 15 OF THOSE YEAS, AS HE WAS IN THE VICES OF DEATH, HE HAS 11 STINTS IN HIM NOW, AND IS GOING STRONG DOING HIS THING.

PRAISE GOD FOR HIS BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL LOVE AND GRACE AND ALL THOSE THAT HAVE PRAYED FOR ME, AND ESPECIALLY TO MY FAIMLY AND FRIENDS, I PRAISE GOD FOR EACH O THEM.
