Woman Comes Back To Life After Cardiac Arrest

So last week my team and the three other teams that were staying with Tony at Zion's Gate ministries had the opportunity to go feed the hungry at the trash dump. Our general game plan was to feed the multitudes out of the back of three pickup trucks. We were encouraged to look for Jesus in the eyes of the people we would see here.. And Jesus we saw, Jesus we encountered.

We got to see Jesus in the eyes of these men, women and children. These ones that truly know poverty. We got to love on them, pray with them, laugh and even cry with them. 

 This woman here is a miracle. Danae one of our lovely team leaders was moved by the Lord to go sit on a trash pile and talk to this woman. Danae was sharing the Lord's heart over her, and asked if she could pray with this woman, and the woman agreed. As Danae prayed this woman passed out. Immediately one of the people from our team called me over to check on her. I jumped into EMT mode and begin checking her heart rate, breath sounds etc etc.. her heart rate: 30-32 beats per min, her breath sounds: 7-10 breaths per min. 

The thought that ran through my mind at this point: "I have nothing. I have no AED, no oxygen, no IV kits..nothing"

Suddenly it hit me.. I have everything! I turned to looked back at my team who were already ready and waiting for what I was about to say next..  "Alright guys, let's go to work! Let's pray" With hearts engaged and hands raised we begin to pray and speak life into this woman.

 My heart was racing, my palms were sweaty and I was praying "Lord do what you do. You love your children, you love them best, so breathe life into this woman right now" 
One of our team leaders Marielle felt the Lord speak to her to tap her chest/heart, and out of obedience, she did..twice.. and on the second tap the woman opened her eyes and took a deep breath!!!

We witnessed a miracle this day! Not sure if you believe in these or not, but I assure you they're real. They happen. The Lord is faithful, and He gives life. We were able to witness the faithfulness of the Lord this day. We were able to see God move through a miracle here in a pile of trash.. 

 May you too reflect on His faithfulness today. May you search for Him in the eyes of those around you. May you find Him in the trash piles physical and spiritual, and may your eyes be enlightened to see how good our God really is.
