                                   Back in 1994, God spared my life from the hands of the enemy. I was 21 years old and I
                                   couldn’t swim, but decided to go anyway. I went with my friend that would later become my
                                   wife. As I entered into the deeper part of the pool, (unknowingly), I started to go under and
                                   I didn’t want to call for help. By the time I finally decided to let my friend know that I was in
                                   trouble, it was already too late. She tried and tried to help me, but she couldn’t hold me
                                   up… I kept falling in and out of consciousness… Finally, she went to get help after she
                                   realized she couldn’t save me, and I thought to myself, “Oh God!… she’s leaving me!” As I
                                   floated away, half submerged from the bottom of the pool and the top, I tried to wave
                                   goodbye to her, thinking I’d never see her again. Now it was just God and me… At the
                                   age of twelve, I was saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost, so I knew God, but I
                                   had turned my back on him a long time ago. I had not sincerely prayed in years, but now I
                                   had no choice. I said, “God please don’t let me die in this water because I can’t beat this
                                   water. Please don’t let me die here… As I lay in the water-still submerged and talking to
                                   God, I began to see a bright light, and as the light got brighter, I began to feel warm all
                                   over and at peace… Slowly, I felt myself going… Then suddenly, I was suspended in
                                   utter darkness! I knew that I was on my way to Hell because I wasn’t right with God. I
                                   started to plead with God to “… please, please God give me one more chance.” I could
                                   see that bright light- now a great distance from me and I knew that it was God. As I
                                   pleaded with God to give me another chance, a voice spoke and said, “What about all the
other chances that I gave you?” I kept begging and pleading with God saying that I would serve him and to please give
me another chance. All of a sudden, I heard “… we got a pulse, we got a pulse…” I could feel the rescue workers pick
me up, and I could hear the policeman, and the sirens, but I couldn’t open my eyes for some reason. When I got to the
hospital and the doctors examined me, they told me that I had received a miracle, and that I had something here to do
because the human brain can only live about 9-10 minutes without oxygen, and according to them, I was under water for
over fourteen minutes. That’s why I couldn’t open my eyes at first because the whites of my eyes were filled with blood.
My heart stopped beating completely and my blood had become still in my body. When God revived me, the blood
starting flowing again, and it leaked into my eyes. The doctors gave me 3 breathing apparatuses and couldn’t find one
drop of water in my lungs! Glory be to God!!!…….. It took me 11 LONG years after my deathly experience to finally
submit myself to God. But that just goes to show how long-suffering he truly is, not willing that any man should die, but
that all would come to repentance. Thank you God for all you’ve done for me! Not only am I saved, sanctified, baptized,
and filled with his precious Holy Ghost, but also I am now running for my life as though my life depended on it, and it really
does. May God bless you… this is my testimony.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the
word of their testimony;........ Rev. 12:11
