God's Hand Saved Me From Being Electrocuted,

Miracle #2 - I Was Just A Kid Of 16- Years Old

I had been living here in the states about one year. I was about 17 years old at the time. I had not yet given my life to the Lord, I was just a wild teenager. This was on Halloween night, 1969, in Jacksonville. My brother, Tim, was 18, and Marvin, who owned the car, was 17, and another guy, who was also named Marvin, was 17. We were all drinking and having a good time, so we thought. We were also getting high on grass, better known as marijuana. Marvin said to me and the other guys, that he had heard about a haunted house off of Mayport Road, that was being used for Halloween to scare the kids. We decided to go and check it out and see how scary the house really was. So, as we were driving down Mayport Road, nearly to the base, getting ready to turn off of Mayport Rd., there was a car coming from the opposite direction. Marvin saw the car, and in a split second, he said he was going to beat the car, so as he was turning the corner, he did not realize how fast the other car was coming. Inside the other car was three drunken sailors. They hit Marvin's red Firebird on the drivers side. Marvin lost control of the car, the car proceeded to flip over three times. My jaw hit the back of Marvin's head and it dislocated my jaw. I did not get a chance to see when the car hit us. The other guy, Marvin, was in the back seat on the passenger side. He saw the accident as it was happening. He ducked down behind the seat and his head bent the steel seat support, which took the same shape as his head. My brother, Tim, hit his head on the windshield and the windshield cracked, cutting his head open. The driver, Marvin, got four broken ribs when he hit his steering wheel. His dashboard split in two and gashed his leg open. This all happened during the time the car was flipping over three times. The car caught on fire as it was flipping over, and the car came to a rest on the side of the road. They told me later on that I had pulled everyone out the car and I went over to my brother in the front of the car and I put his head in my lap and his head was split open with a lot of blood on his face. I thought he was dead, but he managed to come to and he told me that he was all right, before he passed out again. That was the last thing I remembered for the next three days. Three days had went by and on this particular morning, I was staying at Mrs, Kitchen's house, and she was taking me to the hospital. I did not even realize that three days had already passed since the accident. I told her that I had a dream the night before, that we had an accident, and she said to me that it was not a dream. She was taking me to the hospital to see my brother, who had been in a coma for 3 days. In that short period of 3 days, I had lost all sense of time. I had just came back to reality after 3 days. I did not know anything that happened during that time. This was the third time that God had His hand on my life and watched out for everyone in the car.

Miracle # 4 Everyone said that they could hardly believe that the tank I was on did not blow up

When I came here to Jacksonville in 1979, after my wife left me, I started working for a man by the name of Tim Emery. He was a general contractor. His line of work was sandblasting gas and oil tanks and cleaning the tanks out with a highly flammable chemical. This particular day, Friday, I am not sure what month it was, Tim had some welders working on four different tanks over from where I was working. These tanks were around 10 feet high and they were around 20 feet in diameter. He sent me over to work on one of the horizontal tanks which was the same size as the upright tanks. There were two welders working together on one of the manhole covers. They were supposed to check the tanks with a chemical gauge to see how much chemical was in the tank before they started to weld, which they did not do, according to OSHA safety rules. All tanks must be tested to make sure there is no chemical fumes in the tank. The welders started to weld by striking an arc. When they struck the arc on the tank, the fire went through four of the tanks and the tank I was on had just been finished being covered on the whole outside of the tank with a new type of wire and foam insulation, which covered the tank. While I was on top of the tank, the whole tank started to shake. I had just saw a big oil tanker truck come into the yard and I thought that the truck had hit one of the pipelines. The whole tank started to move in a forward motion while I was on top of it. I saw everyone running out of the yard toward the street and I thought that there was an accident outside of the yard. Everyone shouted at me to get off the tank, so I turned around when I heard a loud noise and out of the manhole cover came blue and yellow flames shooting out about 10-15 feet in the air. The tank swelled up like a balloon and all the foam on the sides of the tank started popping off. I jumped off the tank onto the side of the wall which was right beside the tank, and jumped down to the yard and ran out to the road. Everyone said that they could hardly believe that the tank I was on did not blow up. The fire had went through five tanks and came out the other end where the welders were. It came with such force that it blew off their welding shields and burnt one of the welders in the face and the other one on the arm. They were taken to the hospital. None of the tanks blew up and no one was killed because God had His hand on the tank I was on because it was about ready to fly to the moon like a rocket. I thank God that He stopped the tanks from blowing up.

Miracle # 5 I Was Drink And Dove Off A Two Story Building, In 3 Feet Of Water

When I was 26 years old, on 1978, we had moved from 12th Ave. in Boynton Beach, beside the railroad tracks, which was the poorest section in Boynton Beach. We decided to buy a house and when we got ready to move into the house, the paperwork got all messed up, so we had to look for another place to live that was reasonable. We came across some apartments that were near the beach. Being that it was summertime, they gave us a real good deal, because in the wintertime, all the Northerners come down South. The summertime is the slackest time in that area. I had not given my life to the Lord yet, and I used to be a person who partied all the time. If the music was all right, I would party all night. I would have people come over to the apartment and we would have pool parties. This particular night, the party was over and I had been drinking all day with my wife and her mother. (My former wife). We got into an argument and I told her (Ginger) that I did not want to stand there and argue with her in front of her mother. I decided to turn and walk away from her because I had a very bad temper. As I turned away, Ginger hit me in the back of my head with her fist, which made me turn around and hit her with my fist. That night, I beat her up, because I was drunk, and did not care what I was doing. Then I went outside and took a tall glass of Kahlua and rum and I climbed up on top of the apartment building, which was two stories high. I dove off this building two times, and every time I dove off the building, I had to jump way off from the building in order to dive into the deep end of the pool. I would always hit my chest on the bottom of the pool to reach the deep end. I did this successfully two times, but on the third time, I shouted down to the apartment owner's son, and I told him to watch this dive, not thinking any more that the water was only three feet deep closest to the apartment. I went ahead and did a jack-knife dive instead of jumping out from the building like I should have in order to make a safe dive. As I jumped off and headed toward the pool's bottom, which was only three feet deep, I knew I had made a big mistake. I cried out to God to get me out of this predicament I was in, and anybody knows who has been in any type of accident, they know that everything starts going in slow motion. When I cried out to God I went into His time frame, where He stopped all time and I was looking down at the bottom of the pool, but not moving. I heard two voices telling me how to get out of this situation. One voice was Satan's and the other voice was the Lord's. One voice said, which I thought was Satan's because I could not see who I was talking to, to stretch out my hands when I hit the bottom of the pool and flip over backwards. That is how Satan told me to get out of this predicament. The second voice, which I felt was the Lord's voice, told me to slap the water with my hands, bend my body in an arch position, and slap the bottom of the pool to pull myself into an upright position. I thought about the two voices, which one would be right? You see, God gives us common sense to choose the right answers. I chose the second answer because it made more sense to me. If I had hit the bottom of the pool with my hands stretched forward, hoping to flip over, my arms would have been broken because they would not have been able to handle my body weight traveling at the force of gravity which is 90 MPH. I did not walk away scot-free, I was thinking about the bad thing I had done to my wife and I guess the Lord told me how to save myself and I ended up getting some bruises on my body by hitting my head on the bottom of the pool and hitting my chest, mouth, shins, and pelvic bone. But I was able to walk away and that made me know that God is watching out for us at all times. In your hour of need, you need to call out Jesus's name and He will pull you through. I was not even a born-again Christian yet, but He was there for me anyway, getting me ready, so when I became a Christian, I would be a strong soldier against Satan

Miracle#6 In August of 2004, Rob By Gun Point

In August of 2004, I was doing a remodeling job for a lady who lived off of 12th st. near Myrtle Avenue.I had just got back to her house that morning from Home Depot with a load of supplies. I had used my credit card and I had about $200 in cash in my pocket. My partner and I had just finished unloading all of the materials into the house. I had been working on this job since July and the Lord showed me a vision while I was working there that two guys would be coming to rob me. There had been six people in that area that had been robbed in the time since I started the job. I did not know when these two guys would come. The Holy Spirit told me to be praying every morning to cover myself in the blood of Jesus. I did this for the first month and a half, but on the morning of the 26th of August, I did not pray. I forgot to pray that morning. Keith, my partner, told me that he had to go to the restroom and he would be right back, but he forgot that there was no toilet in the bathroom because he had just put in a sub-floor. I saw two young guys coming up to the door and I remembered the dream that I had and I felt like these two guys were the ones I saw in my vision. They knocked on the door and I thought about what I was going to say to them to try to get rid of them. I asked them what they wanted and they told me that they lived down on the corner and they asked me if I had a business card because they needed some work done at their house. I told them I did not have any business cards right then, but to come back around noon and I would have one for them then. I heard a voice in my head, which had to be satan. He told me to shake the guy's hand. As I reached my hand out the door, he grabbed my hand and pulled me outside, by sticking his gun in my ribs. Then he pushed me back into the house. I heard another voice telling me that I had not covered myself with the blood that morning and he told me to push the gun away from me and to tell the two guys that they did not know who they were messing with. I told them that we are the King's Kids, and they looked at me like I was crazy. I knew that I was in a lot of trouble and I heard the Holy Spirit tell me to tell them that in the name of Jesus, they were not going to kill anyone or hurt anyone in this house. I asked them what did they want, and they said they wanted all of my money, so I opened my wallet and told them I only had $200 and they said they wanted all of my money and my wallet with everything inside of it. They also took my cellphone. The younger one kept telling the guy with the gun to put me on my knees but I would not go down on my knees, and I started to repeat to them loudly, "In the name of Jesus, you will not kill or hurt anyone in this house!" Keith heard me saying this to them and he came out laughing, thinking that this was a joke. The gunman put the gun in Keith's face but Keith thought it was a toy gun, until he saw the spiral markings inside the barrel of the gun, then he knew that this was not a joke. The gunman asked Keith to give him all his money, but Keith said he did not have any money. He said that his bossman, which was me, would be the only one with money because he had not been paid yet. Then the gunman proceeded to take us to the bedroom and I told Keith just to do what the man said. You see, Keith just became a newborn Christian in my church, The Father's House. The gunman repeated for us to go into the bedroom but he wasn't satisfied. He told us to go into the bathroom, where we had just put in a new sub-floor. I still kept repeating to him while we were walking to the bathroom that he was not going to hurt or kill anyone, in Jesus name. He told me and Keith to kneel down on the floor and he put the gun to the back of my head. I felt like my life might be coming to an end, so I repeated to him again, "In the name of Jesus, you are not going to hurt or kill anyone in this house!" I felt like I had done everything I could to plant the seed of Jesus in him so he would not hurt me or Keith I knew if he shot either of us, I would have been in Heaven with Jesus that day. He told me one more time when he had the gun in the back of my head not to move or turn around. I was waiting for the bang but I did not hear them when they left, I just heard the front door slam and they were gone. I just thank God that I lived to tell this testimony. God still performs miracles today.

Miracle # 7 instantly healed from Cancer.

In 1982, I went to the Marshall Islands to do sandblasting and underwater painting for the U. S Government. The company was called Global Associates. Around that particular time, before I left to go overseas, I had recently become divorced from my first wife. I was going through depression at that time, due to losing my kids, my home, and pretty much everything I owned. I was not a Christian at that time, and I did not want to be tied down to because I could not feel love for another woman, because I was still in love with my first wife, the mother of my two kids, who broke my heart. I had been going through depression for two years, from 1979 to 1981, When I got overseas, my job was hanging under a 200-ft satellite dish, chipping away old rust, prepping it, and getting it ready to be painted, also climbing 200-ft microwave towers, which you had to leave immediately after you came down because the microwave tower automatically comes back on. I had 15 minutes to climb up to the top, take a lightbulb out, and put a new lightbulb back in. When I came down, and I was leaving the unsafe zone, I believe that is when I got zapped by the microwave tower. I did not feel anything so I went on to my other job site. The foreman there told me to pick up a steel horse and take it to the other side of the shop. I did not feel any pain until I set the steel horse down. I felt a terrific pain in my lower back. This happened 3 months after I went on the job, I was over there from August to November of 1982. When this happened, the next day I could not get out of bed, and I still could not get out of bed for three days after that. The hamstrings on both of my legs pulled up like rubberbands, the pain was so severe that I had to leave Kwajalein, and travel 12,652 miles back to Hickam Base in Hawaii. That was 2 days of flying on an Army transport jet, then I had to take another plane from Hawaii back to Jacksonville. When I got back to Jacksonville, I gave my life to the Lord. I was on the praise and worship team while I was still going through a lot of pain in my back. When I went to the doctor, he said he could not do anything else for me, he said I had bone cancer in my lower back, because the bones were deteriorating and every time I would go to the bathroom, the urine would come out like milk. That was the calcium deposits coming out of my body. When he said that I would end up in a wheelchair, I told him I would not claim that and that I would not receive that, in Jesus name. I believed that I would be healed but I felt that I was at the lowest point of my life at that time. To top it off, the devil attacked me again. He attacked my shoulders with the same thing as I had in my back. I was in so much pain that I could hardly drive my car. I had to put my hands on the bottom of the steering wheelto to drive the car. This pain went on for about 4 years while I was at Livingway Christian Fellowship. Pastor Anthony Speight was my spiritual godfather. He asked many times in the services for people to come up front if they needed healings and he would lay hands on them. I never received my healing at that time in my shoulders or my back. One particular Sunday, he asked for anyone who had pain or sickness in their body to come forward. I got mad with God and I told him that I was not going forward this time for hands to be laid on me because all the other times I went up, I was not healed. I also told God that I did not have to go up to have hands laid on me, because if he was going to heal me that he would heal me right there where I was standing. About 5 seconds after I told God that, I felt 2 hands on my shoulders, and he had 2 fingers on each shoulder scraping away the calcium deposits from around both of my shoulders. The Scripture that came to me at that time, was when Jesus was walking down the road and he met the centurion, and the centurion told Jesus that he was not worthy for Jesus to come into his house, that he was a man of authority and when he gave an order to his servants, it was obeyed. He said that all Jesus had to do was just to speak the Word and his servant would be healed. That was really something, how God put that in my head and I heard it just as if you and I were talking to each other. That was my first physical healing and in 1998, we were going to Calvary Christian Fellowship, and I was healed from the cancer in my back instantly during a praise and worship service in 1999, when I was in the back of the church just praising and worshipping God. I was raising my hands and the tears of joy were coming out of me, just thanking Jesus for being a part of my life. I felt static electricity all over the top of my body and God went inside of my body and the demon of cancer did not want to release my body. It felt like a fight was going on inside of me, like I was on a rollercoaster. You know, when you go over a hill very fast, your stomach would go up into your chest, then it would go all the way down. It did this a couple of times, and I felt like I was going to throw up. As I leaned over, the Lord had removed the demon that was in me and I felt no more pain. It is hard to put into words when God works a miracle and heals you. All I can say is that whoever does not believe in healing and they would like to talk to me about my healing, I will be glad to talk to them.

 Miracle # 8  This miracle happened around 1994, my house

Was Invaded By Rats

This miracle happened around 1994, when I was living in my house on Marbury Drive. When we bought this house, there was a thick wooded area in the backyard and we had never noticed any rodents, but after we had been there for about a year, we started hearing rats up in the crawl space of our ceiling. At first, we only heard a few rats fighting up there and running across the ceiling. This went on for about 2 or 3 months so we really did not think too much about it, because we had not seen any rats in our house. After one year went by, they started multiplying, and before we knew it, we had a large nest of rats in the ceiling, the large ones, not the little ones. You could hear them chasing each other all over the ceiling, and they used to fight among themselves, making all kinds of noise at night, and it seemed that they only would congregate over our bedroom ceiling, and always at night. We thought that they might possibly bite holes through the sheetrock and come down into our bedroom, so my wife was very concerned, as at the time, our son was very young, and we did not want them to get into his room, either. I was going to call the exterminators, but I knew that if I did, they would throw poison up there in the eaves, where it would kill the rats, and then I would have a lot of dead rats rotting and smelling up the area, and it you have ever smelled a dead rat in your home, you know how bad it can be, so just imagine a lot of them smelling, and how long it would take to get the smell out. We would not be able to live in the house for a while. I told my wife that we needed to pray about this situation, and I had no idea that the miracle would happen as fast as it did. I told God in my prayers that these rodents are His animals and I did not want to kill them, but if they did not leave, I would have to have them exterminated. I asked Him if He would have them to just leave my home, and take all of their families with them. He knew our situation there, and how we felt about them. Since I asked Him to remove the rodents, in less than two days, all of the rodents had left my home, and never came back, and we never had any other types of rodents go into our ceiling any more from that day forward. This may seem like a little miracle to you, but to us, this was a big miracle. God has always been there for me, all I had to do is ask Him for His help, even for such a miracle as this. I praise Him and worship Him and He is on my mind every day of my life. Just remember any time that you need Him, He will be there, all you have to do is call on Him.
