A Miracle Still in the Making
Testimony of Gary W Johnson
“And they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their
testimony;
and they loved not their lives unto the death.” Revelation 12:11
On May 7th, 2001, I suffered a heart attack. At first I thought I only had
indigestion, but after going to the emergency room they told me I was having a
heart attack. They found that I had four clogged arteries. I underwent open
heart surgery. A quadruple by-pass. My coming out of the open heart surgery was
a miracle in itself. The doctors told my wife, Gloria, that I was a “walking
dead man”. I went into the procedure speaking in tongues and came out of the
anesthesia speaking in tongues!
Miracle #1 -
I saw angels in my recovery room. At first I thought the images I was seeing
were people. The Lord confirmed that they were angels moments later when I
realized that I was along physically in the room. The Lord told me they were
angels.
There were many complications with my bladder and I had to have a foley for
almost four months. I also had a small stroke which affected my sight on my
right side. I came out of rehab in June, but had to go back because they thought
I had Prostate Cancer.
Miracle #2 -
Praise the name of Jesus, NO CANCER! I came out of the hospital again and
resumed physical therapy for the open-heart surgery. I was also being given
intravenous antibiotics because of a bacteria that had start growing in my
stomach. This meant daily trips to the hospital from July through November.
Then in December, they discovered that there was an obstruction between my
bladder and my prostate. They informed me and my wife that they were going to
have to go in surgically. I was admitted on December 9th and had a minor stroke.
Three days later I had the surgery and it was a complete success. PRAISE THE
LORD!!! Then on December 14th, I had a bleeding stroke and slipped into a coma.
My wife, Gloria and even my doctors were scared.
Miracle #3 -
To everyone’s amazement the Lord woke me up from the comma.
Miracle #4 -
The doctors could find no trace of the bleeding stroke. We left the hospital on
the 21st of December 2001.
Miracle #5 -
I am not paralyzed! I have just lost a little muscle tone. Praise His holy name!
He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! He still answers prayer! All of
the prayers that have been spoken on my behalf, the Lord has heard and continues
to answer on a daily basis. Prayer works!
Like I said, I am a Miracle still in the making! His word says, “We will see the
goodness of the Lord in the land of the living”, Amen. In November of 2004, I
was admitted to the hospital in the Intensive Care Unit, with congestive heart
failure. Because of the this, the nephrologists, put me on dialysis, peritoneal
dialysis, for a year, then I developed some gall stones and the tubing clogged.
My gall bladder had to be removed in December 2005. The doctors diagnosed that
my heart needed a defibrillator because it was only working to a 5% capacity.
They sent me to a different hospital to a specialist. Before they did the tests,
they told Gloria and I that I may not come out of this procedure. We prayed and
had a lot of other people praying from out church. Well, the doctor talked to
Gloria after the procedure, and he was ecstatic! He said, “A miracle has
happened. His heart is fine. It’s strong and working at a 90% capacity! There is
no need for a defibrillator!”
However, the enemy does not give up, but neither does my GOD and HE is much
BIGGER! In January 2, 2006, I had a full blown stroke on the left side of my
brain that affected the right side of my body. I was in rehab for a month so I
walked with a walker. The Lord never puts more on us than we can handle.
More Miracles -
In October of 2006, I was admitted to a hospital with vomiting and a headache on
Saturday, October 28th I went into a coma. During this time I was vomiting, not
eating, so Gloria had to us e a machine to extract the vomit so I wouldn’t
choke. They did all kinds of tests Saturday and Sunday. On Monday, they still
did not know what to do. My nephrologists, came to see me, and told Gloria that
he was moving me to CCU and putting me on life support - that I would not last a
week. He was there at 11 a.m. on October 30th, 2006. At that time my Pastors had
come to see me and were praying for me, the doctor was talking to Gloria. He
proceeded to the nurse’s station to write up the orders to have me moved. But
praise the Lord, Jesus Christ, our Savior, I woke up and I was speaking in
tongues! I told my Pastor, “I saw you preaching in Costa Rica, and I was there
with you. I also saw myself in India and in Jamaica. I found out that I could
speak in Spanish while I was in my out-of-body experience.” You see, I do not
speak Spanish. The doctor was amazed and went our scratching his head. The IPC
doctor wanted to hear all that I had done while I had that out-of-body
experience. She started calling me, “Miracle Man”.
You see, God answer prayer again! The saints at our church and Pastors were
praying. I could not walk, almost as if I had another stroke. My legs were like
jelly. However, the tests showed no stroke, but I could not move my legs from
the waist down. Physical therapy used a hoist to move me from the bed to the
port-a-potty or even a chair. So the doctor told us, Well, ‘Miracle Man’ I have
to sent you to a rehabilitation facility for a month. I will go write the
orders, but the way the Lord is working, you will probably start walking on your
own!” Well, she did not know it, but she was prophesying, because the next
morning at 5:00 a.m., I started walking!!! So instead of going to rehab, I came
home! When the doctor had spoken those words, I knew all the paper work was for
nothing!
And more -
In November 2006, I had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy because they thought I
had cancer. No cancer! Everything came back negative. My JESUS is till working
in my life!
He never stops healing -
Now in December 2006, my doctor put in four stints. He did a heart cath and told
Gloria that my main artery was 90%^ blocked. He could not believe that I did not
pass out. He also thought maybe my heart muscle was getting weak, but after
testing, he told me and Gloria that my heart muscle was functioning at 90% which
was real good. Then in February 22, 2007, I had a follow-up with my primary
doctor. She told me and Gloria that the diabetes was under control. She could
not understand it, but in her own words, “It’s almost as if he did not have
diabetes anymore.” So she told Gloria, “No more insulin.”
Praise the living God! Isn’t JESUS awesome? “By His stripe we were healed!” |
