Unexplainable Escape After 500 lb. Fireplace Falls on New Stanton Man

“Dead at the Scene 17 Minutes”

Markleysburg Man Celebrates His MIRACLE of LIFE!

By Hazel K. Palmer For Jubilee News hpalmer@jubileenews.org (New Stanton, PA) The three elements that make up an “accident’ is: “Unfortunate, Unexpected and Unintentional”. All three elements perfectly fit what happened to Don Polinsky, age 69 from New Stanton, when a fake concrete fireplace suddenly fell on top of him, pinning him underneath its 500+ lb. structure. But one more element was added to the mix, because Don’s outcome was also “Unexplainable” because he was by himself when it happened, and it was humanly impossible for him to lift it off of his body.

Nancy, his wife put it this way: “In all honesty, the reality is that he should be dead.”

Don explained: “We just bought a house See FIREPLACE Pg. 2A

Stroke Victim Takes Unexpected Turn; Neurologist Speechless

By Hazel K. Palmer For Jubilee News hpalmer@jubileenews.org

(Washington, PA) George Ramsey from Washington, PA did not know he was having a stroke. He was alone in his house and a few hours had passed before he was rushed to Washington Hospital shortly before midnight on Wednesday, October 30th..

His symptoms were accompanied with an abnormal heart rhythm known as Atrial Fibrillation or A-fib. He was admitted after a series of tests.

There weren’t any brain bleeds, but George’s left side of his body was affected, as well as his speech and vision.

It’s known that every minute counts when you’re having a stroke, because within minutes, brain cells begin to die and almost two million brain cells are lost every minute as the brain is deprived of blood and Oxygen it needs.1 It was a no-brainer that rehab was in his future to help regain what was lost. A cardiologist along with a neurosurgeon would work together to monitor his treatment and hopefully prevent another stroke during the rehabilitation process.

George recalled what happened: “I went to call the dog and started to mumble.

I thought it was because my mouth was dry that I couldn’t talk. I was having a stroke and didn’t realize it. I just came home from having my [dialysis] treatment. I went upstairs to lie down and fell out of bed. I was wedged between the bed and the nightstand but was finally able to kick the mattress over far enough where I could get up on my knees and get off of the floor. My wife wasn’t home at the time. I laid there in bed sweating and couldn’t figure out what was going on.

My wife Trisha came home,

gave me a sandwich and asked what was going on.”

At eleven o’clock that night, George reached down to pick up some pills he had dropped and he fell over. Trisha jumped into action and rushed him to the hospital.

At first, it was initially surmised that George had mini-strokes. But that soon changed. George explained: “I had an MRI and other tests on the brain. The doctor said, “George, you didn’t have mini-strokes. You had A STROKE, and the stroke that you had is about the size of an orange, and for all places for it to go; it went to the back-right-side of your brain.” George came to understand that where it had gone produced “the least amount of damage”. George said: “I didn’t have a good field of vision out of my left eye. I couldn’t squeeze with my left hand. It was numb.

Trisha took to Facebook urgently asking for prayer using George’s wall. By the end of the next day on Thursday, at 7:23 on the evening of October 31st, George posted for himself: …They determined my left side, my hand and my eye [were affected]. I’m having a little bit of trouble seeing on the left side, but my left hand is like useless. I got no feeling in it.

I said with a little bit of luck by Christmas I’ll be back to normal. So I covet your prayers… I’ll stay in touch.

Thank you so much.

Two days later at 1:53 in the morning, George posted again: …My left hand is not working well. No feeling and having trouble holding things in my hand, and that’s why they have me in rehab.

The neurosurgeon told George he probably wouldn’t

passing all kinds of emergency vehicles and boats. It was starting to get dark and I’m so grateful they didn’t see me because they would not have let me return.

I had to get to my cat, Buzzy. I ran into the house to find him under my bed shaking, wet and cold.

By then all the emergency people were in my house running up and down the stairs to assess the level of the water still rushing in.

I glanced outside and saw many items floating past like dumpsters, trucks, cars, big cement slabs, furniture, beds, my neighbors’ belongings…anything that wasn’t nailed down. It was a torrential river with my house in the middle of it. I could hear my neighbors screaming and crying for the loss they were going through. They were holding their heads in their hands. I felt so sorry for them, but I was going through the same thing. The Lord told me right from the get-go that everything was going to be alright…and I believed Him. I have to say that I never shed a tear.

Water Rushing Through Front Door

Nancy Polinsky snapped a picture of the cement/metal fireplace before it was completely broken for removal. and found out there were a lot of things wrong with it, especially the wiring. And there was a fake fireplace in the living room that had wires running to it, and I decided I needed to take that out. It had a wooden mantle on it and the fireplace was made of cement, but it was made to look like block.”

Don’s intent was to go to the house to pull down the fireplace. Nancy shared, “We needed groceries, so Don told me to go ahead to the store. I was at Target and I thought about stopping at the new house where he was, but decided to go straight on home instead.”

Don shared, “I started by taking out the sides of it. There were two planters on both sides of the fireplace, [like shelves with planters in them], and the bottom of each one was made to look like it was a part of the fireplace. So, I began there and pulled [those two units] out without any problem.”

“In front of the fireplace, there was tile on the floor, and I was [bent down] taking up the tile along with the board that the tile was on. I was prying up the board, and all of a sudden, I caught out of the corner of my eye the fireplace falling forward coming down on me.

And when it first started coming down on me, I thought this is going to hurt…this is going to kill me.

“It came down on my head first, then hit my shoulder and it sat me down on the floor and bent me [forward]

in half. I hit my nose…I think on my knee, and the fireplace cut my head on top.”

It didn’t knock me out and I thought: ‘I’m going to suffocate and die.’”

Don continued, “I was by myself and I didn’t have my phone on me.” Then laughingly, he made a joke: “I wouldn’t have needed it anyway!”

“It squished him together and his top half met his bottom half,” Nancy said. “I asked him: ‘How did you get out from under it?’ And he said, ‘I don’t have any idea. The next thing I realized I was laying in front of the fireplace laid out flat, but parallel to the fireplace, and I don’t know how I got there.

I don’t know how I got out of it and I know I couldn’t have lifted it off of myself.”

Nancy exclaimed, “He said he was completely under it. That’s why he couldn’t understand how he got out.

Even if I had been there, I couldn’t have possibly picked it up off of him.

It was in one piece and it didn’t even break.”

The accident happened on a Saturday in November, and the next day when Don and Nancy were in church, Don shared what happened.

Mike Geyer with Geyer Home Improvement went to the same church and offered to help Don remove the fireplace from their house. “Mike tried to lift it but it wouldn’t budge,” Don shared. Mike said: “That fireplace was solid and it had metal in it. It had to weigh at least 500 to

600 lbs. It had to be God who got that off of him, because it’s not humanly possible that he could have gotten it off. When I tried to pick it up, I could only lift it up about one or two inches.” Pam, Mike Geyer’s wife was also there witnessing the aftermath of what took place the day before.

Mike said the fireplace was about five ft. high and the mantle was made of wood and had already been removed.

As they stood there looking at the fireplace that was now on the floor unbroken and in one piece, Don showed him where he was one moment, UNDER the fireplace; and then where he was the next moment, laying flat on his stomach BESIDE the fireplace that had fallen on him.

When Don was asked how far away from the fireplace he was laying when he realized it was no longer on top of him, he said he was lying about a foot away from the top of the fireplace that was now on the floor. But probably the most perplexing thing of all was that not only was the fireplace removed from his back, he himself was moved.

Don explained, “When I stood up, I thanked God for getting me out from underneath it.

“I was pretty sore from having my head cut, so when I went home, I called for Nancy my wife and told her what happened; that the fireplace fell on me.” Nancy interjected, See FIREPLACE PG 7A

STROKE from Pg 1a be able to get any feeling back in his hand until Christmas. And as for his sight, it too may not come back until Christmas, if it comes back at all. But, a moment was coming the next day that would hold an instantaneous turn-around, and George’s breakthrough would come in a peculiar way. This outcome of healing would not be on any of the doctors’ radar and would happen while they were in the room with George. It would astound the medical professionals involved in his care, and would leave them speechless, searching for the right words to write in his medical file to explain what had happened.

A swirling of prayer had surrounded George that became a weapon in a fight to “disrupt the disruption of health” that had entered George’s life. The use of Facebook had successfully propelled people to pray, and when a pastor friend of George’s saw that George had a stroke, this friend messaged him and shared an experience he personally had during prayer before he even knew about the stroke. He had already been praying for George without knowing the specifics of what was going on. All he knew was that there was an attack of the enemy upon George’s life. The stroke was the tipping point for George, because multiple health complications had preceded it three months before the stroke hit. (See pg. ___ ) This friend had been divinely summoned

by Heaven to pray for George to bring order and restoration back into place and to halt an ongoing attack upon his life.

George digested what he had just read in the text and then came Bob Patton, a friend and church elder who prayed with George. This parade of prayer ended with Apostle Ray Doma-

Prayer brought in “tactical reinforcements” that surrounded the enemy as people willingly entered a divine combat zone that would now bring a healing manifestation.

It was Saturday, November 2nd around 9:30 in the morning, the third day since the stroke happened.

George explained: “I was given pills for my blood pressure that ended up making my

I was sitting in a wheelchair telling them in Rehab that I was having problems and needed to go lay down. This was in the morning around 9:30 am. They had already taken me down to therapy and had me putting round pegs in holes. I was sweating like crazy. Within an hour, I had passed out.”

By this time, George was laying in his bed.

FLOOD from 2a By now, it was about nine o’clock at night and everything was dark because the power went out. I continued to salvage what little I could, but losing most of my coats and clothes in the closet.

All the stuff in those trunks was gone including a dozen photo albums from missions that could never be replaced. My kitchen and bedroom seemed to get the lesser of the water damage, but everything was so smelly from the flood water.

After several hours, the water started to recede which left me with over four inches of sludge and muck. I put on a pair of boots which by this time were of little use since my feet and pants were already soaking wet. I grabbed a snow shovel and started shoveling.

The sludge was so heavy as I had to carry it outside the house to dump it. I worked all night by myself in the dark. By this time, my feet were beginning to hurt and resulted in me getting trench foot for spending hours in those wet boots. No one could help me since there was no way in or out of the area. It was blockaded off. (I do give a lot of kudos and credit to the Red Cross who came around with water, t-paper, cat food and cereal. They were there every day to make sure I was okay. God bless the Red Cross.) As daylight came, I was exhausted. I collapsed on my damp smelly bed…and my cat was still under it. Thank you Jesus for saving my blind cat!

Several people from my church family had come to my house on about the third day to drag all the water-logged furniture and belongings into my back yard. It was a sad sight to see all my neighbors’ damaged stuff piled up everywhere. Bridgeville and my neighborhood seemed like a ghost town.

Mostly everyone in thad evacuated, but I stayed in the house for nine long days. On the ninth day I woke up not being able to breath or talk because of the mold and mildew. I knew Buzzy and I had to leave; but where? In a couple hours I had moved what little I had, including the cat, into my car and went to a friend’s house. I had wanted to move for the past couple years, so God downsized me in five minutes! Now I had no choice but to relocate. I was not eligible for flood insurance since I lived in a flood zone.

It was three long months living in several different places while searching for a new place to live. I continued to work at my job as a church secretary wearing the same outfits for nearly three months.

Now comes the good part! I found a beautiful apartment in the town of Washington PA and had some precious friends help me move in. One of my girlfriends and her husband were a real blessing to me. She said since God had blessed her and her husband so much that they wanted to bless me and buy me all my furniture!

Wow! We spent some days at furniture stores, clothes stores, everything was bought for me. My church even had a “flood party” for me buying me all the necessities like towels, bedding, rugs, and kitchen items. That’s our God! Today that flooded house still stands empty in need of many repairs.

I’m not sure it can even be repaired. But now I have everything NEW in my apartment…furniture, clothes, everything! I am so grateful to everyone who helped and encouraged me.

Words can’t even express my thankfulness!

Since the flash flood, I have retired and living the good life, the dream. I know it took a lot of courage and faith in God to go through that experience.

I looked up the meaning of the word “courage”.

It means “the quality of mind or spirit enabling us to meet danger, face opposition, or the challenges of life with fearlessness, calmness, and firmness”. God gave me courage when I needed it!

So don’t let what you see make you forget what God said. It’s going to be alright!

I give God all the glory for saving my life and blessing me beyond what I could ever think or imagine…it was a miracle! What the enemy meant for evil, God turned it for good!

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.

Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

Judy shared, “It was getting close to dinner time when our daughter, son-in-law, grandkids and their Golden Retriever left. We decided to go out in the boat by ourselves and relax in the peace and quiet and do some evening fishing.

We took our dog Timmy (our half Bichon/Shitzu) with us. He loves to go in the boat, so we drove to the lake.

--Body, Strength and Soul Defense--

Spiritual and Physical Parallels” Samuel Sokol Transformation Coach “Full Armor Fitness” For Jubilee News I find enjoyment in drawing parallels between spiritual and physical health. I will always preface my points by stating spiritual health is far more important. If you are not first pursuing spiritual health then don’t start a journey to physical health. If you only have time to either go to the gym or read God’s word, I highly recommend you spend time in your bible. Although I will be the first to say there is typically time for both.

But in the instance you have very limited time, always use it to spend time with God. If you have very little free time in life, this does not mean you have to ignore your physical health. Simply adopt the activities that require almost no time to implement. One of those would be changing your eating habits. I did not say you have to start up keto, paleo, or whole 30, but you can make minute changes. Cutting out pop, candy, breads, or pasta does not take any extra time at all, and will result in improved physical health.

Another little trick is to pursue both at the same time! I know, you are wondering how that is possible. It is not complex. Listen to an audio bible while you are at the gym. Or read your bible while you are walking on the treadmill. Or pray while you are meal prepping for the week.

Many spiritually beneficial and physically beneficial activities can be performed at the same time.

I am able to prescribe a program for most of my clients that only takes approximately 15 minutes a day, Monday through Friday to implement, and maybe an extra 2 hours on the weekend. The extra 2 hours on the weekend is for meal prep. Meal prep increases the success rate for my clients significantly. That is only about 3 hours and 15 minutes a week. We spend at least two times that watching TV every week. Some of my clients are Christians as well. They typically do not struggle with implementing a program for physical health along with what they currently do for spiritual health. It is a matter of finding a balance, one that, of course, tips far in the direction of spiritual health.

I have noticed we consistently make the excuse we do not have time. We may say we don’t have time to read the bible, or we don’t have time to make a healthy meal. Yet we somehow find the time to watch our five favorite one- hour long shows for the week. Or we find the time to go to a sporting event. I am not saying those things are bad. There is certainly value in those activities, and we all need to relax. I’m only stating that those activities should not replace things like bible reading, prayer or fellowship with other Believers. There is typically time for physical well-being too. It is about prioritizing.

If you don’t feel well, are constantly sick, and are always fatigued, then you would think doing something to change that would be important.

Unfortunately that is not often the case.

I am not trying to be negative by any means.

I am trying to change mindsets. That is basically what I do for a living (lol). If I can help someone realize they have more time than they originally thought, then we have made a huge breakthrough. This varies by person because one person may respond well to firm communication while another person needs a more delicate approach. I alter my communication based on an individual’s personality.

I have also noticed that we stink at time management. We need to learn to multi-task! Just like I stated earlier, many tasks can be completed simultaneously! Not to get too personal here, but we all use the bathroom at least once a day (if you are as regular as you should be). Use that time to read your bible or pray. I have found those to be some of the quietest moments for those things. Or pray while you shower. What else are you going to do in there? We might as well utilize that quiet time to do something that will help us.

I know life is busy. I know life is hard. I know kids and work take a ton of time. But I am telling you, if your spiritual health and physical health are good, life will not be as hard. Spending time with God brings strength, peace, and energy. He will not allow us more than we can handle. He expects us to spend time with Him, so we need to do it. Changing eating habits and adding in some type of physical activity that you enjoy will help too. It’ll improve stamina, strength, and energy, so you can keep up with your kids, and crush that big project at work. I hope this was helpful and it made sense. Hopefully you don’t leave here feeling more weighed down, and more confused about what to do. Take care and God bless!

My Yoke is Easy My Burden is Light

By Rev. Karen Graham, Kingdom Come Ministries International., Inc. For Jubilee News kg4kingdom@outlook.com

Many are arising into their anointing and callings by the power of seeing and saying! Many will say what they see and behold what they say as our voice activates heaven and releases a latter glory, shifting us beyond the former! Perspective is key! Expect a year full of heavenly encounters which will unlock this latter glory! There will be an intersecting and interlocking of the glory revealed in years gone by with the glory which shall be revealed in and through us in 2020!

Our primary calling is to know God and to make Him known as we synergize with others to fulfill our visions and missions, to testify as witnesses of His awesome presence and power, to prophesy the word of God with the heart of God and to glorify Jesus as we advance the Kingdom of God! Holy Spirit is breathing on the prayers and legacies of those who have preceded us as ground breakers, trench diggers, foundation layers and Kingdom builders! Honor is the badge (wear it) and the bridge (build it) connecting a generational synergy of unity, power and blessing as God passes the torch from the previous generation to this generation for the next generation!

A momentum is building in the spirit establishing prophetic authenticity and purity as we are abiding with God and aligning with divine connections through sudden encounters. Provision for 2020 vision is being released through uncommon favor and unexpected sources in all we are called to steward! To whom much is given much is required!

Luke 12:48 (VOICE) ….If you are given much, much will be required of you. If much is entrusted to you, much will be expected of you.

-ENDORSING THE VISIONGod is approving and affirming, openly and publicly, the endorsement of the Lord Jesus as His Word confirms and performs prophetic vision! You will hear and see sounds and signs which will affirm heavenly visions and mature you in your faith! Others will not “get it” because they aren’t supposed to ~ the vision is not their assignment! His endorsement with your agreement will subdue every opposing voice and emotion!

You have chosen what God put before you.

God also said that He was going to confound the wise, because by your books, this should not have happened until Christmas, because that is what you told me.

Well, I guess Christmas came early, because I can grab you and I see you!’”

The neurologist began to test George’s strength and vision.

George shared, “He put a finger up, and as I looked out to the left, I said, ‘I can see your hand and I can see your fingers’. And he laid his hand beside my face.

When he did that earlier that morning, I couldn’t see it, but now I could.

I said, ‘Jesus touched me!’” Not only was George able to feel and use his hand, his vision was coming back.

George watched the doctor’s inquisitive face as he tried to figure out what had just happened. At this point, George said: ‘Doc, in all of your thinking, you cannot answer what just happened to me in the natural, because God is not in the natural. He’s in the Spirit. In the book that I read, He gave me all the answers to every-

thing I need. And He gave me the healing I needed by His stripes that He took.’ And I said, ‘Now you have to rationalize it, and you have to come to a conclusion that this is beyond what you learned in your books.

So, now God is showing you His power that He can do whatever He wants, to whomever He wants, whenever He wants. So together, we are going to come in agreement that I’m healed in my hand and my eye.’

“We agreed and he said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Can you explain it?’

He said, ‘No, but I’ve got to try to bring this into reality of what just happened, because two hours earlier you couldn’t do this and now you can.’ I said, ‘Would you like to know who did this to me? It’s Jesus! ’ And he just looked at me and said, ‘I just can’t grasp right now everything that is happening.’ I said, ‘Well, when you’re ready, you come back and we’ll sit down and talk about it.’

George posted after his experience: Update: The grip in my left hand, the strength has come

There are two phrases from the Master that are transformational in Matthew 11:28, but only if we let them penetrate our Spirits. Many physical painful symptoms are doing the opposite thing due to emotional weight or baggage we carry. “Come to me if you are weary are heavy laden and I will give you rest...”

I have an old oxen yoke that hangs over my fireplace in my shop office adjacent to the healing chair. If you look at it closely, you will see two of the arches that rest on the oxen’s shoulders are ever so slightly different from each other. They were shaved to fit the individual animals perfectly. If oxen wore another’s yoke, it irritated them because it rubbed them the wrong way. Sound familiar?

They carried something not cut out for them, but for someone else. Their burden was not easy, their yoke was not light.

If the oxen were paired younger with older, the younger one would want to run ahead and tire himself out or lag behind once he got tired. That inconsistency would take its toll and yield a common ministry called: “burnout”. To prevent them from going too slow, there was a bar that hung behind their legs with small spikes on it called: “goads”. That is precisely what God was saying to Saul when he was confronting and converting him: “Saul why do you kick against the goads?” Saul was in a race clobbering people with his boxedin religious legalism to slow down the Gospel being spread. God is not keen on religion when it tries to trump His Love. The goads caught up to him.

“The following week, He continued to heal my body so that I could get out of the hospital totally. He continued to heal more of my grip, my eyesight and my coordination. I was restored to the way I was before the stroke, because before Jesus touched me,

An Accident That Wasn’t An Accident

-Hazel Palmer, Publisher-

By Alana Dishong For Jubilee News

Alana Dishong had an unforgettable experience at a recent six-car pile-up that was life-changing for her. She had been struggling with feelings of inadequacy due to being in a wheelchair because of another car accident. A recent graduate of Greater Works Outreach, Alana who loves to pray for people, agonized over the decision not to go on a mission trip with her graduating class due to her limitations. She spent nights awake trying to think of ways her plight might not cause disorder when the mission group went into places that could not accommodate a wheelchair. Closer to the date of this trip, she got her answer and a peace-filled understanding that she didn’t have before, and it came when she sat in her car and prayed for everyone involved in this six-car pile-up, making the “accident, not an accident for Alana”. Instead, it was a remarkable

In June, my daughter Katie and I were out doing errands, when we were rerouted in a storm to go another way. Hail and rain was coming down hard and we had to pull into a parking lot at a strip mall to wait a bit. As we sat there listening to music, the parking lot was getting filled with water and we watched people roll up their pant legs and take off their shoes to wade through several inches of water to get to their cars.

Suddenly, we heard a car crash to our left. As we looked toward the parking lot’s entrance, a car had swerved hard.

We heard another crash as that car hit a second car, banking off and hitting two more in succession. It was hit by another car in the oncoming lane which spun it around, pinning the main car between the other cars that was now taking up two lanes. Traffic was obstructed by the sudden six-car pile-up with four cars embedded into one car on all sides as we watched airbags inflate.

I saw a little boy in the front seat of

But, it was the main car that was stuck with the driver trapped inside. People were on their phones and I knew 911 calls were being made.

I knew we needed to pray, and I looked at Katie and announced: “We have to go pray!” I opened my car door to get out and fell on

my knee, and as I clung to the passenger door frame, I remembered my inability to walk well enough. Katie, who was shocked at what I had just tried to do, helped me back into the car, and I told her to go and see how everyone was and to check on the little boy!

Katie went as I sat there and prayed for each car involved, the police

maybe she wanted no part of a mother who would give her daughter up. Did she hate her? Maybe she was never told that she was adopted!

After many months, contact was finally made and Anabelle and Sara would finally meet.

Everyone was excited. Anabelle had just moved to a city that was only an hour’s drive.

They pulled up in the driveway and there was Anabelle waiting on the porch swing. Two boys were looking out the window. Joan hopped out of the car as soon as it stopped and ran up the sidewalk. She could now stop wondering how her birth mother really felt.

Anabelle was now off of the swing and ran to meet her and hugged Joan. After a few minutes, the rest of the Myers came out of the car and Ben and Adam came bouncing out of the house. Ben came out more slowly

and they all greeted one another. Anabelle suggested that they all go to the back yard and sit at the picnic table. She had some snacks and drinks ready, so Ben brought them out and they all sat and talked some more.

Joan asked, “I knew you were unable to keep me, but did you ever think of me?” Anabelle answered, “There wasn’t a day that went by that I didn’t think of you and wonder what you were doing. Do you know the story of Moses? His mother loved him so much, but to keep him safe, she had to put him in a basket and set him in the river. I am sure it hurt her to have to do that, even though it was for his good and safety.

I felt that way also. I prayed God would give you a good home with loving parents who would not only provide for your physical needs, but teach you about God. Moses was taken into the palace where the Pharaoh lived

and was treated like a prince! He had the best of everything!

And God gave you wonderful parents and even gave you a brother and a sister.

I told Ben about you when we were married that someday you might be a part of our family.”

-A Loving Touch-

Collagen Our Skin’s Biggest Supporter

By Jan Siarnicki Registered Massage Therapist & Licensed Esthetician For Jubilee News

Collagen is the main structural protein in our connective tissues. Collagen is actually an amino acid that is bound together. It makes up about 25% to 35% of our whole body protein content. You can find collagen in fibrous tissues like tendons, ligaments, and skin. It’s also found in your cornea, blood vessels, and muscle tissue. The name Collagen comes from the Greek meaning “glue”. Really, that is exactly what it does. Collagen is the glue that holds your entire body together. (Bulletproof.com) As we age our collagen production declines. So as this support lessens, our skin which lies on top of the collagen fibers sinks down. That is when we start to see lines, wrinkles and our skin can start to take on a crepe look.

There are many things we can do to slow this process down a bit. (Wikipedia.org) First of all the sun is good for us to some degree in small amounts. We need the sun to get our Vitamin D, but within reason. Baking in the sun destroys not only collagen, but the elastin in our skin. So it makes sense that if our support system is down, and then we are also destroying the top layer of skin at the same time, we are going to see skin sagging start to happen. So definitely limiting the amount of time you spend in the sun, and wearing a sunscreen will be a

great preventative.

The latest studies have shown that when hydrolyzed, collagen is reduced to small peptides, it then can be ingested. There are many collagen supplements on the market now. There are gummies, liquid collagen, and collagen powder you can add to your protein shakes and coffee. Amazingly within an hour of ingesting it, these peptides are transported into target tissues like the skin, bones,etc. They boost the production of collagen. These peptides act like building blocks to help the cells produce new collagen fibers. So taking a collagen supplement along with your vitamins will help plump up your skin, make it look healthier looking, and it can even help with joint soreness as well. I can speak from my own experience, that a collagen, biotin supplement does wonders for your skin, hair and nails.

Always check with your doctor first, to make sure if it is safe to take any supplements, with any other medications you may be taking.

The disappointing news about Collagen is that adding collagen in a topical product is worthless. You see, while topical collagen will definitely moisturize the skin, that is the extent of it. Studies using topical collagen have never been shown to stimulate our own collagen growth. The reason is, collagens have molecular weights making them too large to penetrate the top layer of skin.

Sad, but true, you may see many products out there saying they are collagen infused. As stated earlier, they may raise the moisture level in your skin, but you won’t see any miracles!

Even though adding topical collagen isn’t effective in anti-aging treatments what are your other alternatives? Using topical vitamin C serums will help to produce more collagen. Also application of Retinoid creams work very well. The retinoid family is vitamin A (RETINOL)

RAINBOW from Pg. 3a six in the evening. But the doors were locked! I shouted to Joe, ‘Do you have your keys?’ And he said, ‘No, I threw them in on the console!’”

In all the excitement, Timmy had jumped from the back seat to the front seat and stepped on the key fob and locked the doors! The windows were also up and there was no air getting in, plus their cell phones were with their gear inside the truck.

“We looked around and didn’t see any boats on the water and we didn’t see any cars anywhere! It was like we were the only ones there! Our boat’s parking spot was right across from the public bathroom, so we went running to the bathrooms, and the doors were locked! They were having trouble with the septic system so we plastered ourselves up against the building to get some cover under a 6 inch overhang, but that didn’t really help!

We were still getting really wet.” Judy shared.

Joe said, “Then we noticed one truck in the far Marina a couple hundred yards away. Everybody was gone because it was a Wednesday and it was

there was a guy in the truck and his boats were hooked up to it.”

Joe said to Judy, ‘Okay.

I’m going to run over there and see if I can at least borrow a cell phone. So I was going through the woods and across the footbridge, soaking wet and covered with leaves, attacked by mosquitoes, and I got there.” Judy stayed with the truck and explained the rest of the unfolding saga: “He borrowed that guy’s cell phone and called this assist number, and the guy that he called couldn’t understand English! He couldn’t speak English!” Joe said, “And I spelled out everything that I needed…and nothing! I repeated myself about four times!”

Judy stated. “All the while it’s still raining, and lightning and thundering, and I was back at our truck talking to the dog through the window trying to get him to move in a certain direction so maybe he would step on that key fob again and unlock the doors!

I went to both sides of the truck, but he wouldn’t step on that thing! He would be an inch away from the button, but he wouldn’t do it!”

Joe rejoined Judy and said: “Okay, here’s the deal.” Judy interrupted him saying: “Tim’s been in there and it’s been an hour

. Tretinoin is a brand name of Retin-A that has been the most studied (Clin Interv Aging 2006) It helps to produce collagen in the dermal layer of the skin and as a secondary benefit it helps improve the appearance of photo damaged skin. You will need to see your Dermatologist for a prescription for Tretinoin.

Chemical peels can stimulate collagen production as well.

They work by using acids that cause a controlled burn to the skin. When your skin knows it’s been damaged, it wants to produce more collagen in the healing process. Laser treatments work pretty much the same way by producing an inflamed skin response.

Can dermal fillers naturally stimulate collagen production?

The answer is yes! This is probably the best way to increase your collagen. New research done by Frank Wang told (Archives of Dermatology) the exciting results that were seen.

He has shown that dermal fillers may help not only to plump the skin the moment it’s injected, but fillers like Juvederm and Restylane might also stimulate your body to produce your own natural collagen. These filler injectables contain naturally occurring hyaluronic acid that tell the body to increase localized collagen. When injected directly into the body, the local tissues perceive them as your body increasing its own production of HA. Research tells us that fillers are much more helpful than originally thought. You sort of get a two for one deal! The filler instantly gets rid of wrinkles and lost volume of the skin, but it immediately starts waking up your own collagen. They are safe and have very low side effects, even with people that have very sensitive skin.

So see, there are many other ways to continue to build collagen in your skin, and though there is no cure for aging, we can at least slow it down a tad, look and feel our very best, and age gracefully.

accuracy helped me pray more specifically. Thankfully, everyone was alive and conscious.

Together, Katie and I watched as the woman from the main car crawled across her seat, out of her passenger’s window and through the next car’s window in order to come out.

I asked Katie where the little boy was and Katie said she didn’t see a little boy; that everyone involved were adults.

I felt perplexed because I was sure I saw his curly little darkhaired head of a child sitting in the passenger seat during one of the swerves. I even asked Katie if she was sure, and she was. She had asked each person in each car how many there were in each car and if they were okay. In the end, no one was injured serious enough to be taken to the hospital. Everyone was fine and went home.

We sat watching the scene unfold as if we were watching a movie. We had a clear view of everything, and as I think about it now, it seems rather odd we could see so well. The police were not on the scene yet; the wreck was still blocking the road, yet some cars were squeezing alongside the wreckage in the outer lanes of the highway to get by.

Accident victims were getting out of their vehicles looking at the damage and exchanging insurance information, and I noticed each of the cars had two passengers except for the lady in the main car who crawled out of her window into another car.

That was the car where I saw the little boy! She was visibly shaken and I had a great sense of compassion for her. This major accident appeared to be due to the loss of control of her car.

Katie and I both have been in car accidents before and it is traumatic. You can find yourself trying to understand what just happened. In both of our car accidents, we were alone, and someone hit into us. The car

It hit the dock 100 yards away from us! A rainbow!”

We’ve just got to wait” Joe said, “It was still cloudy and there was no sun, and usually it takes sun and clouds to make a rainbow!” It To “GIFT” really encouraged us that God YOUR would take care of us, but we didn’t know how.”

accident I was in had altered my life and it’s why I am in a wheelchair.

I was still praying and drawn to the woman who was alone. I took off my zipped hoodie and asked Katie to take it to her and stay with her until the police or someone she knew came. I told her to pray with her and give her a real good hug because she was afraid.

As I was praying for everyone on the scene, I was still feeling uneasy about the little boy that I saw who wasn’t there. I felt like I wanted to look inside the woman’s car to be sure he wasn’t overlooked.

Admittedly, before the accident, I was battling feelings of inadequacy and the realities of my life which others didn’t know about. I had just graduated from Greater Works Outreach and made the agonizing decision not to go with my class on a mission trip. I wanted to do because I love to pray for people!

There are times when I am ministering to someone, the Spirit of the Lord will lead me, and I can often connect directly with the person being prayed for.

But here I was now at the scene of an accident, and once again unable to do what I would have liked to do, and that same overwhelming restricted feeling of not being able to get out of the car to pray for the people was there again. I knew I HAD to give those feelings over to the Lord because it would inhibit my prayers. So, I did and it was good that I did!

I suddenly thought to take pictures from my position in the car.

Doing this caused me to see what God wanted me to see. At that time, the lady from the main car was walking around to see the damages of her car which was on both sides and the front of her car. The woman was still shaky and obviously overwhelmed. As she was walking, Katie was guarding her from the moving traffic on both sides. Katie was putting out both of her arms as a shield to protect her and at the same time, signal others. I realized then that my daughter was doing what I would have done! She learned this

“He was walking in the door all bent over, and I said: ’Are you okay?’

And he said, ‘No’. And that’s when he told me the fireplace fell on top of him.” Don added, “I told her there was no way that I could have lifted it off [my body], and I don’t know how I am going to get it out of the room now!

“I went to the VA hospital on Monday because I had an appointment. They did some X-rays and found that nothing was broken. The doctor was laughing because she said she never had a patient say that a fireplace fell on him!

After I told her what happened, she asked: ‘Well, how did you get out from underneath it and stand up?’ And I said it must have been a miracle, because it was too heavy to lift.”

Together, Mike and Don did finally remove the fireplace from the home by using a hammer and a special saw that cuts concrete. Although Nancy knew the fireplace was heavy, as the fireplace was being cut up, she realized then the immensity of what could have been. She expounded on it: “I realized there was no way if you were underneath it that you could have lifted it off of yourself, because your arms would

this... and I thought: ‘I’d love to call one of those numbers, but I don’t have a phone!’ There were no pay phones-- nothing!

“Then I thought, ‘Okay, let’s try the doors.’ I tried the doors and everything was locked. Then there was a gas station on the dock. Let’s see what’s in there. I walked in and there was a phone! ‘Oh thank you Jesus!’ I picked up the phone and it was dead! And I was like…

What?

“Everybody was gone!

I looked around the room and there was a CB radio on a desk. ‘Okay, I know how to do this!’ I pushed a button and said: ‘Hey! Is anybody out there?’ And a voice came back saying:

“You can still see the mark on the back of his shoulder. His cuts are healing up and the whole back of his head has abrasions going down. The doctor x-rayed his back and found nothing was broken. How could that be?

I would think if nothing else, your ribs would have been crushed.”

Pastor Tom Shirer, pastor of the church they attend said, “You would think he would have asphyxiated being in a position like that underneath something that heavy. Surely the Hand of the Lord was with him.”

“God had to send his angels to come and move that fireplace off of Don and pull him out from under it.” Nancy said. “I’ve never seen an angel, but it makes me a believer that they exist.

Now I wish I could see one, because anybody who has seen one talks about what a magnificent thing it is. I’m sure Don had an encounter with an angel and didn’t realize it at the time.”

Mike Geyer’s wife Pam summed it up: “It was supernatural.” Mike smiled in agreement.

‘Yeah! Who’s this? What do you need?’ I said: ‘Here’s my name, here’s what happened… blah blah blah. He said: ‘We’ll be there in 10 minutes.’

It went right to the park rangers!

Relieved beyond compare, Joe walked back.

“They came and had this little Gizmo like a blood pressure cuff that they wedged in the car door, pumped it up, and with a long rod, reached in, pushed the button and the door unlocked! So there we were two hours later!”

Judy said, “ Tim was okay, but he was hot and nervous.”

Joe laughed, “And there stood Judy with a brick in her hand! She was walking around with that

spouse –identify yourself. What is your need that is not getting met and the real reason for you to be defensive?

• Share the reasons that you identified above and make “I feel” statements to the person that you are in the relationship with. (Example: “When you do_____, I feel_____, so I shift into_________ (the defense strategy pattern you fall into).

It may look like this. “When you embarrass me in public, I feel rejected and unappreciated, so I fall into being an Avoider. I don’t really hate you or hate being married. The real issue is I don’t feel like I belong or am safe in our relationship. I don’t want to avoid the issues; I want to work them out”.

• Then ask some questions such as, “Do you understand how I feel?” “Is it your intent to hurt me?”

“May I ask you why you said or did what you did?”

In order to love and to be loved, there must exist a two-way street in which both can travel. The goal in relationship is a win/win communication. This takes hard work on the part of both individuals. Learning is a life-long process.

So, to anyone who may be feeling inadequate, you ARE usable to the Lord no matter what your condition is! Afterward, I remembered what Psalm 107:20 says: “He sent his word and healed them.” Prayer is effective no matter where you are.

Just as I sent my daughter into a mission field of a six-car pile-up, she added to my way of ministering with her own gifts. And as for the mission trip, I learned that whether I’m here or there, my prayer will still be effective, and I can cover the team that goes!

As for the little boy that I saw. The woman in the main car told Katie she was glad that

she had dropped off her four-year-old little boy right before the accident.

If she hadn’t, he could have been seriously injured, because he would have been sitting in the front passenger seat, the EXACT SAME SPOT where I saw the curly dark-haired little boy.

God had shown me a little boy who was also in his protection, encompassed in the same golden circle of protection depicted in the pictures taken that day. There really isn’t any distance in prayer.

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. (2 Cor. 12:9)

Times and Seasons Under the Stars Dec. 29th - Jan. 26th (Month of Tevet) Jan. 27th - Feb. 25th (Month of Shevat)

By Chuck D. Pierce For Jubilee News (Intro by Hazel K. Palmer) What you are about to digest is not astrology, nor is it your horoscope. Instead, this is the “Real Deal”. Why eat hamburger when you can eat steak? Why not digest the “Real”, rather than the “counterfeit”?

Thirty days hath September, April June and November. This is the calendar we are accustomed to. But, did you know that it is a “man-made” calendar that was adjusted to accomodate Constantine; whereas the calendar of old is a “lunar calendar” that follows the times and seasons in the heavens, incorporating earth with the order of the Heavens? Isn’t that powerful?

That calendar is still in existence and is used by the Jewish population who have the wonderful understanding that the Heavens speak into our lives as God intended; and that there really are signs in the Heavens that speak and confirm the times and seasons we live in, according to the Divine Order that has

been set into place just for us-not by man, but by the Creator Himself who created man: God Himself.

Tevet: 29 days - Dec/Jan Alphabet: AYIN — (eye, spring) - Let your good eye see.

War with the evil eye and break the power of evil watchers.

This is a month to let your good eye see. It is associated with the Hebrew letter AYIN. AYIN also pictures a spring or well. This month is a time for new life to flow.

Tribe: Dan — “to judge, grow up and mature” This is a month to judge, grow and mature.

Characteristics: The month of the ending of Chanukah; in the midst of destruction, there is mercy.

A month of holy anger or righteous indignation; be angry but sin not. If you cross that line, your soul will get damaged and your promise will not manifest.

If you are not spending time at some point during the year to make sure your emotions are

under the control of the Spirit of God, they will erupt like a volcano.

When that happens, the damage is already done. You need to exercise spiritual discipline throughout the year. If you do not, then when you are tested, you will erupt. This is very practical. God will set a time for you to do this.

This month is a time to pray for your Commander in Chief.

Review education for initiation into the next phase of life. month is a good time to fast to purify the blood so your brain and heart function properly.

Constellation: Capricorn (the goat) -beware of making wrong alignments Color/Stone: Dark Blue and Turquoise/Sapphire or Turquoise Tevet is the tenth of the twelve months of the Jewish calendar. Ten is the number of godly authority.

Pray for our Commander in Chief so godly authority is established.

Tevet is also the number of testimony. The 10 commandments were in the Ark of the Testimony.

This month is a time to leap like a goat. Your testimony is going to express either your immaturity or your maturity. There comes a time every year for you to share your testimony. Does the thing that made you mad last year still make you made this year? Did you get offended this year just like you did last year?

Pray for new, artistic, and creative expressions in worship this month, and ask God how to form a rear guard over the past season.

Pay attention to the prophetic words over your life so you do not miss your destiny.

Shevat: 30 days - Jan./Feb. Alphabet: TZADIK — symbolizes the “righteous one” Tribe: Asher – pleasure, happiness, delicious, fatness; beware of the delicaciesof the king.

Characteristics: This month righteousness becomes your foundation. This is a month to develop the plan of sustaining the generations.

How will your olive tree blossom? Look for those who are bringing pitchers of water to you. This month shout, “My blessings are on the way!” This month what you are tasting and meditating on produces the life or nourishment for your future.

Constellation: Aquarius (the water carrier) — your roots awaken to the water of life.

Color/Stone: Light Olive Green and Yellow/Citrine Quartz or Peridot Shevat is the eleventh of the twelve months of the Jewish calendar.

T his month is linked with the tribe of Asher which pictures pleasure, appiness, delicious, and fatness. During this month, you should beware of the delicacies of the king.

You might want to do a Daniel fast this month. This month is a time to develop a plan to sustain the generations. The best question to ask yourself this month is: “How does your olive tree blossom?” Read and meditate on Psalm 1 this month.

The Hebrew letter for this month is TZADIK, which symbolizes the “righteous one.” This month your righteousness must be your foundation.

Jehovah Tzidkenu is one expression of this month.This is the time to connect with the trees in your field. Look at your field and see what is planted there. Who is planted in your field? Are the trees in your field ready to bear fruit?

Shevat is called the month of the new year of trees.

Aquarius, the water-bearer, is the constellation for this month. This is the month where the river touches the roots, and the roots awaken to the water of life. Think of Rebekah and the woman at the well. Who is bringing water to you?

Carefully consider how you make decisions during this month, if you are not being watered. You may also want to position yourself to be watered in a new way. Shevat is the month to shout, “My blessings are on the way!” This is the key for this month. There is a shout within you that says you see your wagons of supply coming. You see the water pots coming to quench your thirst.

This is a good month to partake of food. When you complete your fast, God will show you how to eat in a different way. If you go through a fasting process in January, you will reprogram your body on eating by February.

If you get messed up in January, you will probably be messed up for a while. What you taste and eat produces life, or nourishment for your future. That is why we need to be sure to eat the Word, so our bodies are healed and properly aligned. Then we will be able to digest whatever God gives us to eat during the following months.

Wesley’s 17 Minute Experience

Wesley’s Unforgettable Accident An unusual anniversary was celebrated recently by the family of Wesley Dennis on August 17th, 2019. It’s been ten years since this husband, father and grandfather, experienced a miracle of all miracles when he was dead for 17 minutes having been involved in what should have been a fatal accident.

Not only was he brought back to life and survived the ordeal of his life, but Wesley Dennis also experienced a second miracle. He was healed!

Angela and Donna’s Dash to the Hospital In the meantime, Angela and Donna were frantically making arrangements to find someone to move her belongings into her new apartment so that mother and daughter could leave together. Donna began to receive one phone call after another from family members. Their son Jason and his family were vacationing at Myrtle Beach when they got the news.

Jason arrived at the hospital the next day.

As for their other son Doug, who lives with Wesley and Donna, he left as soon as he

found out.

Based on the flurry of phone calls, Donna began to surmise that Wesley’s condition was much worse than first described.

Donna remembered one particular call: “I got a call from my sister who’s a nurse.

She said, ‘Donna, you’ve got to head home NOW. It’s very bad. His blood pressure’s dropping.’

That’s when I called our pastor’s wife and had them start the prayer chain. It wasn’t until Angela and I were on our way home that we found out that

he had died at the scene.”

Family members steadily poured into the hospital throughout that evening, gathering information about his condition. Twenty-three visitors in all arrived, which included Donna and daughter, Angela, who finally arrived by midnight.

Three pastors and Wesley’s entire family were there. Donna recalled, “The whole room was filled, and they were all praying by the time we got there. Wesley was already in surgery.”

Wesley’s Condition is Critical Donna and Angela continually remained at the hospital, day and night. On day eight, the ventilator was removed for a short time, allowing him to talk for the first time since the accident. However, due to a complication with his chest tube, he was placed back on the ventilator. His first words were: “Who did I hit?” After explaining to him what had happened, his next comment took them all off guard. He told them that he thought he had died. They confirmed to him that he had indeed died.

Their answer brought confirmation to Wesley; however, his family would not have the luxury of finding out what he meant by his last statement until the ventilator was removed again. There were so many questions, such as: How did he know that he had died? Did he have an experience?

Angela wrote in her journal: “You’re a miracle, Dad. There’s no denying that! Looking forward to hearing your stories. Love you.”

Four days later, Wesley underwent back surgery on two vertebrae. Again, there were

no complications. Wesley was on the mend.

By the end of August, the ventilator was removed. Five days after this surgery, the pump that delivered pain medication was detached. Both chest tubes were removed by the following day and he was transferred to a step-down unit, his lungs healing well.

The day after that was Friday, September 4th, only 13 days after his accident, and Wesley was discharged from the hospital. He didn’t go to a rehab facility; he went home.

Wesley Relays His 17 Minute Death Experience During the course of this accelerated improvement, Wesley finally got to tell his long awaited story.

Here’s what Wesley said, “There was a light shining down on me. I just saw myself lying there; I was praying as hard as I could pray, And everybody else around me was in white and they were doing the

same thing. They were praying. It was noisy because of everybody praying. Then this voice came and said, ‘It’s not your turn. It’s not your time. You’ve got to go back.’ One week later, I woke up in a hospital.”

Wesley has no memory of the accident itself. He doesn’t remember the first week

of his hospital stay. He can’t remember who visited him and who didn’t. Yet this one vivid memory remained.

For seventeen minutes, Wesley’s spirit was absent from his body and he was able to account for all that took place in another dimension, a memory that nothing could erase.

Jubilee News Page Page4b2

Unmistakable Divine Interventions Recognized Protection along with its timing was in place before the wreck ever happened. Considering that Wesley’s life’s blood was draining from his body, and his lungs were not adequately exchanging air, fluid was compressing his heart and the odds of survival were slim, Wesley wrecked near the home of a nurse who arrived on the scene quickly who then connected with a neighbor who had access to an oxygen tank that could be administered immediately before the other rescuers arrived on the scene.

Family was contacted BEFORE the ambulance arrived

thanks to the timing of Wesley’s coworker who always left work a half hour after Wesley. But because Wesley didn’t got straight home, as usual, and stopped at Walmart, this decision that changed Wesley’s normal routine placed Patrick at the accident scene immediately after Wesley wrecked.

Patrick’s role ended up being the one who would communicate to Wesley’s family what had just happened. Wesley’s two nephews and their numbers were already in his cell phone, so family was contacted minutes after the accident as oxygen was being

administered by a nurse who lived nearby.

These two nephews then saw the ambulance and followed it to the scene.

This was a blessing to Donna, Wesley’s wife, because she was five hours away. Donna was contacted by the nephews who actually stood beside Wesley while he was inside his wrecked vehicle. Their presence at the scenecalmed the sense of urgency that a wife would experience, knowing she was five hours away, unable to get there quickly. She was reassured that family was already with her

husband, plus the fact that accurate information was being delivered to her first hand that could be passed on to other family members.

It is unknown how long it would have taken to notify Donna, had Wesley not stopped by Walmart instead of going directly home. Patrick would have come by a half an hour later. The ambulance crew attested to the fact that the oxygen administered before they arrived sustained Wesley, lending to his survival.

Wesley’s physical body was sustained thanks to protection and its timing.

What Happened in the 17 Minutes After Wesley’s Heart Stopped?

According to Wesley’s medical records: “After approximately 17 minutes of CPR, the patient had a return of circulation…

Our human body is the physical container that holds our soul and spirit. The physical body permits us to live in the physical realm. If it’s taken away through death, we find ourselves in the spiritual realm or what’s known as the “eternal realm.”

The soul consists of the mind, will and emotions. The spirit, however, is the essence of who we are, and lives on eternally. When the spirit resides inside the body, it is mysteriously tied together with the soul. This is called the “heart.”

Since Wesley’s body could no longer house his spirit, then his eternal being--his spirit, transitioned into the eternal realm. Wesley’s spirit was untouched by this serious accident because a person’s spirit is never sick.

It’s always whole. Therefore, pain was not present because pain is produced by the body.

Once his physical body was able to house his eternal being again, his spirit rejoined his soul within its physical container, the human body.

His eternal being, although immortal and indestructible, can see, think, hear and communicate. Therefore, Wesley saw and heard with the eyes and ears of his spirit

all that was taking place in this eternal realm.

What began as a physical experience became a spiritual one in an instant as he abandoned his physical container, no longer having ties with the physical realm.

It was an unusual perspective as Wesley looked down upon his own human body, taking in the

ating in purpose as they surrounded his body, their words becoming their instruments for life.

Wesley too was praying at the same time they were.

He described it as being “noisy” there. It was as though their purpose was to see to it that his body would respond to the efforts of the ambulance crew.

got to go back.” Once the voice spoke, that’s when his spirit obeyed and left the eternal realm and returned back to the physical realm.

His spirit was “sent” back into his body by the voice. Just as Wesley had no control over the experience of his spirit “leaving” his body, he had no control over its re-entry.

Considering that Wesley’s body was dead for 17 minutes, his spirit was suspended and waiting for life to re-enter his human physical container.

But he too was a part of this process because he was praying WITH the angels. Once he was back inside his body again, he had transitioned from the eternal realm where “time” doesn’t exist, back into the physical realm where “17 minutes” do exist. Which brings up another point: Just because he transitioned back into the physical realm didn’t mean that activity in the eternal realm had stopped. It meant that he was no longer there to witness it. Therefore, Wesley had the ability to observe for 17minutes, all that was taking place behind the scenes in another dimension.

It was an unusual perspective as Wesley looked down upon his own human body, taking in the activity that was going on in the eternal realm, activity that could not be seen by his rescuers. He found himself “praying hard.” activity that was going on in the eternal realm, activity that could not be seen by his rescuers. He found himself “praying hard.” Therefore, his “spirit” was praying.

The first thing he saw was a bright light and prayer was a big part of his experience. What he DIDN’T see was total darkness, nor did he see or hear what the ambulance crew was doing in the physical realm. Instead, Wesley saw another set of beings surrounding his body. According to Wesley, they were dressed in white and were praying. They were faceless, and were believed to be angels.

They were not using any physical means of resuscitating him, although they were oper-

In essence, this “second team” was working with the ambulance crew. One team worked in the physical realm while the other worked in the eternal realm. The ambulance crew operated in “hope,” their eyes fastened on the possibility of life, but they could not make Wesley’s body respond to their efforts.

Whereas, the second team could. “Hope” caused this ambulance crew to persevere and not give up, while this second team caused his body to respond to their “hope.”

As a result, life returned to Wesley’s body, and when it did, his spirit could re-enter its physical container.

Wesley heard a voice say, “It’s not your turn.

It’s not your time. You’ve

Wesley’s Second Miracle Four months after his accident, a second miracle arrived.

When Angela journaled her words: “You’re a miracle, Dad,” she didn’t know that another miracle was on its way and it would be time to get the journal out again because her dad was about to be healed!

It all began with a wheelchair, a walker, a crutch and a cane.

When Wesley Dennis left the hospital for the first time, he was in a wheelchair. During the rehab process, Wesley would progress until he could finally walk again.

He was told not to stand until the doctors released him to stand, and to be aware that it would be a long road. But what they didn’t

know was that there was another care plan in force. It wasn’t so much a “medical care plan” but rather a “heavenly one.” His supposedly long road to walk again was about to be shortened, because “A second miracle was on the way.”

Both of his thigh bones had been broken, but it was his right leg that was severely injured. The total support system of this leg was compromised because his thigh bone, knee cap and lower leg bones were all broken. For this reason, he had no choice but to wear a brace on this leg to bring stability. All of the broken bones in both legs have titanium rods running through the middle of them.

“The Rescue Team”

The Second Miracle Comes

Wesley was in a wheelchair for three months and he can remember the first time he stood in the doctor’s office. He explained, “I went to the doctor and he took off my brace. I was putting 25% on one leg and 50% on the other. The X-rays showed where my bones weren’t pushed all the way back together yet. He told me that the only way I could get them to push back together was to stand up and start putting pressure on them.” It was time for Wesley to learn to walk again.

The next piece of equipment needed was a walker to stabilize him as he attempted to stand on his own. Wesley remembered what it was like: “It was strange because I had always had real strong legs, and now my leg muscles were in a lot of pain. Before the accident, I was a laborer. I had been building a hospital and walking seven days a week, 2.3 miles every day at a real fast-paced walk. I was able to walk up seven flights of stairs at the hospital worksite, skipping every other step and hardly getting out of breath. Everybody would ask me, ‘How can you walk up those steps so fast?’ Some people who were working for us were in their 20s, and they couldn’t keep up with me. Then I would go home and work hard around the house until dark.”

It was December 16th, 2009, four months after the accident. Wesley could recall the day: “I was going to therapy on Mondays and Wednesdays. I was now on a walker. They would work on my legs for two and a half to three hours. At rehab, Justin, one of the therapists, showed me how to walk with a crutch. I could barely put my body weight on my leg without him helping me.”

Wesley was always exhausted after rehab and contended with a lot of pain, so Tuesday became the day to recover from Monday’s therapy so he could go again on

F

Wednesday. Wesley explained what happened in the early hours of one Wednesday morning: “It was about 4 o’clock in the morning; I woke my wife and asked her to give me some pain pills. I was in a lot of pain. I went back to bed and had a dream that I could walk without a walker.

In the dream, a voice kept telling me: ‘Get up and walk without your walker.’ It was like a voice inside my head. And finally, at about 7:30am, I got up, slid to the edge of the bed, and stood up with my walker and

me!’”

At that point, Wesley had decided to believe what the voice had said to him and to take a step without the walker. When he did, he discovered he COULD walk without the walker, just as the voice had told him! Wesley continued: “I put the walker to the side and I just walked over to her and hugged and kissed her. And I said, ‘Isn’t God wonderful? He healed me!’”

In their excitement, they called for their son to come and

I told myself that I was going back to sleep. But this voice came into my head again and said, ‘Get up and walk without your walker.’ But I knew I couldn’t. So I kept saying to myself, ‘I’m going back to sleep’ because I was always so tired. walked into the bathroom. While I was there, I noticed I didn’t have any pain in my legs or in my back! So I walked in a little circle around the sink with my walker and went back to bed.

I told myself that I was going back to sleep. But this voice came into my head again and said, ‘Get up and walk without your walker.’ But I knew I couldn’t. So I kept saying to myself, ‘I’m going back to sleep’ because I was always so tired.

“This was a Wednesday morning and I was to have therapy that afternoon. But the voice kept saying the same thing. I’m pretty bullheaded, so finally I said, ‘Okay.’ I got up, and walked to the bedroom door with the walker. My wife was now in the bathroom, cleaning. I yelled to my wife, ‘Come here!’ She came out of the bathroom and I told her that I wanted to show her something.

I said, ‘God healed me!’ She said, ‘What?’ And I said, ‘God healed

rom that point on...

Wesley’s natural love for walking returned to him. Although he still experienced episodes of pain, his strength to walk increased. During the rehab process, the treadmill and the stationary bicycle became his best friends.

It was the last part of April, 2010, almost eight months after his accident, that Wesley graduated from rehab. Today, 10 years later, Wesley carries with him two memories: his 17 minute experience at the scene of the accident, and his second

see. The excitement began to build as Wesley walked without his walker into the kitchen and to other places in the house. His daughter was now seeing what had happened to him.

The same set of words came from his mouth: “God healed me! This is a miracle! I can walk without a walker!”

In the commotion, they called his wife’s mother who lived next door.

Wesley recalled, “She came in the kitchen door and I walked over to her and hugged her and told her, ‘God healed me and I can walk without my walker!’”

Donna remembered saying, “Your face is glowing!” “My face glowed all day long!” remembered Wesley. “And we kept calling people and telling them what had happened to me!”

Wesley recalled that only two days prior, his therapist had said, “You will be walking with that walker for about a month, and then with one crutch for about a month. Then, you’ll walk

miracle. Wesley Dennis is certain that a purpose exists as to why he is alive today. Wesley said: “God brought me back to life and then He healed me!” Wesley knew the miracle of life was given to him as a gift, and once the gift was embraced, what was once a wheelchair, a walker, a crutch and a cane, became a miracle!

A perfectly good example of this was in his early morning experience during rehab, four months later. Wesley heard a voice tell him he could “walk without a walker.” Activity had been taking place behind the scenes that brought

with a cane.” Forty-eight hours later, Wesley was able to walk unassisted. He never had to use a crutch.

He skipped an entire step and went straight to the cane. In other words, he was in the wheelchair for three months and walked in the fourth month unassisted.

Strength had miraculously returned to his legs, but was later increased in the next four months to the point that he was able to pedal 5.49 miles in 15 minutes on a stationary bike. Wesley, who was 55 years old at the time, was now competing with three young men, ages 23, 29 and 30, on the stationary bike! One of the men had even attended school with his son.

Wesley was being restored back to his original state before the accident happened. And it was happening much faster than anticipated.

On the day of his miracle, although he was able to walk into rehab on his own, he decided to walk in on his walker. He could hardly contain his excitement. Wesley shared his experience: “Justin, my therapist, was just standing there. I told him, ‘I want to show you something. God healed me.’

He just looked at me. I pushed aside my walker and walked over to him about 10 to 15 feet. He said, ‘That’s wonderful! You’re amazing!’

I got up on the table and he began working with my legs.”

In the past, Justin was unable to bend his right leg back the full way. But, on the day of this miracle, he bent Wesley’s leg back to his hip. Wesley recalled Justin’s words: “You’re something, Wes!” He then took that same leg and held it straight up into the air. As he continued to work with it, he told Wesley: “In the whole five years that I’ve been a therapist, I know it’s impossible for anybody to have that much strength come back in his/her legs in 48 hours without a miracle.

You’re a walking miracle!”

strength back to his legs, when forty-eight hours earlier, he was unable to bear weight without assistance. Once his miracle was accomplished in the eternal realm, a voice simply announced to him that another miracle had once again entered the physical realm. His second miracle that was on the way had arrived! Wesley could now miraculously walk without assistance! He wasn’t there to WITNESS what took place behind the scenes as he did during his 17 minutes in the ambulance, but as Wesley puts it, “I’m here for a reason. God isn’t done with me yet!”

Jane McMahon, A Single Mom Janie McMahon from Gibsonia, PA had an experience she’s never forgotten. In a single moment, six incidents concerning her six children suddenly flashed before her eyes which produced a profound realization that divine protection and intervention do take place in our lives that many times goes unnoticed. Today, on the pages of Jubilee News, it is being documented for the first time. Here’s her story in her own words.

-Hazel Palmer, PublisherMy dad passed away on the operating table and they were now keeping him alive on machines. My mother called and said to keep praying because it didn’t look good.

A lot was going on at the time. It was one of those days that I had just moved back into the area having been divorced. I was feel-

ing anxious and would wash a couple of dishes and then go make a bed; then come back and wash a couple more dishes and go back and make another bed because I had six kids and had seven beds to make.

I was so concerned about how I was going to be able to keep up with caring for my six kids by myself with only $55 per child who were in five different schools.

It was at this point I heard a racket out in the side yard through my daughter’s bedroom window. When I looked, it was a dove making one whale of a racket. I thought… okay. The dove is a sign of peace; be still, everything is going to be fine. Then I walked down the hallway and back into the kitchen.

When I stopped in front of the refrigerator I

heard God say to me: “What’s the matter with you? Have I not taken care of your children thus far”? And I had to say to Him: “I’m sorry Lord! Yes, you have!”

And in a moment, in my mind’s eye, I could see every incident of how every one of my kids had been within a hair of the Lord taking them home to Heaven, but instead, because of

the Hand of God, each one was rescued and their lives spared. God came through each and every time.

What happened to me was unique! Keep in mind that I SAW every incident and the timing of each one. I saw who were there, what they were wearing, where we were and everything that took place. And

I thought: “Wow! God just showed me in a moment, six incidents, and I clearly understood all that took place! Then I thought: “Oh my!

That must be the way judgment day will to be in Heaven when we stand before God! He will show us our life in a moment!”

My mother was at the hospital and a close friend of hers who had a healing ministry, was with her. Her name was Pearl, and they kept on praying, and Dad pulled through. In fact, he outlived my mother by 14 months. My dad was older than my mother. He was seventy-eight years old when he passed away and my mom was sixty- one when she passed away.

But back to the moment when God showed me every incident in every one of my children’s lives where he rescued them.

Incident Number One: David Uvodich David was my first-born, born in September of 1962, and he was a climber! My husband was on medication because his thyroid was removed when he was 10 years old. We kept our medications (which weren’t many), on a high shelf. David was two years old when he climbed up and got the cardboard box off the shelf,

opened it, and took his dad’s thyroid medicine.

I knew there was something wrong with him and when I found the open bottle, I didn’t know how many pills he took! His face turned beet red and I called my mother who lived two miles away and she came. I told her we needed to take

him to the emergency room, but she said: “No, we’re just going to sit here and pray”.

So we sat there and she rocked him, and within an hour or so, he was fine. His beet red face cleared up. I don’t remember him being hot with a temperature, but his face had been all flushed and now he was fine!

Incident Number Two: Debbie Uvodich The second incident was with my daughter, Debbie. She was born two years later in September of 1964. My father had a hunting camp up north and we always would go the second week of October for the Fall Foliage Festival. My daughter was only four weeks old and we were at a camp that didn’t have any electric or running water. It was very primitive and everything was gas: a gas stove, a gas refrigerator, gas lights and gas heat.

I had made her evening formula. I always gave my kids two tea-

spoons of rice cereal in their formula, and as I was feeding her the bottle, she turned blue and foamed at the mouth.

We didn’t know what was wrong! We thought she had choked, so we patted her a little bit and waited a little while.

When she seemed to be alright, we started giving her the bottle again, and this time it was worse. She was really foaming at the mouth now and turning blue and purple, so we sat up with her all night.

We had her lying across my mother’s knees. One knee was elevated so her

head would be down and she could throw up if she had to throw up. We prayed all night long and in the morning she was fine. My mom said, “I think you can go ahead and make her a new bottle. She’s okay and she’s got to be hungry.”

When I was making her formula and putting the cereal in, I went to reach for the sugar jar. We had a Peter Pan peanut butter jar and a Skippy peanut butter jar that were one-pound jars. One was sugar and the other was salt. And here, I

had put about a half teaspoon of salt into her bottle instead of sugar! When I realized what I had done, what came to my mind was what happened after my first child was born. During that time, I heard about an incident in Canada where a nurse in the nursery accidently put salt in the babies’ formulas. If I remember correctly, six, seven or eight babies died.

It was an accident and I never did know what became of her or whether they ever pressed charges. God protected my baby!

Incident Number Five and Six: Darin and Diana Uvodich

Incident Number Three: Danny Uvodich Four years later in October of 1968, Danny was born. He was around one year old at the time when we were at my dad’s hunting camp, and he had an asthma attack because of the dampness and the mold from the forest.

His little tummy stuck out like a basketball, and when he sucked it in to try to breathe, it looked like it went

clear back to his spinal column. The attack was so severe that we took him to the hospital. We didn’t go to the hospital very often for anything because we always prayed things through, but we did go to the hospital that time. We saw his eyes roll back into his head.

In a couple hours’ time, he was fine. We just kept on praying,

and he never had another asthma attack there after that. He had a couple attacks at home later and Pearl would pray for him over the phone a lot. She came to the house one day and prayed with him and later he said, “Mommy, can Pearl come back? I like it when my tummy feels warm!” He could feel God touching him.

Incident Number Four: Gary Uvodich Gary was born in January of 1970, and when he was 12 or 13 years old, he was attacked by an Afghan dog. Gary had gone to his little friend’s house to meet his friend.

They were building a treehouse. His friend’s dog was tied with a chain leashed to a spi-

ral stake that went into the ground and that dog kept lunging and lunging until he pulled that spiral stake out of the ground. He ran around my son, I don’t know how many times, and the chain wrapped around my son’s legs and he couldn’t get away from him. The

dog bit him about five times in the shoulder, his back, his arm and his upper arm. I don’t remember how many stitches he had. My son’s friend came running out of the house and pulled the dog off of him, but the dog literally mauled my child, but God spared his life.

I

The twins, Darin and Diana, are pictured here with Darin’s children

In 1970, the same year Gary was born, I gave birth to a set of twins, Darin and Diana who were born on November 28th, 1970, so I had three babies in one year.

When my twins were born, my mother and Pearl came to the hospital to see the babies. They recognized that our baby girl had empty eyes. I don’t know how else to explain it, but her eyes were just empty and dark as though her brain was blank.

My mother and Pearl would stand at the nursery window and pray for her.

Back then, they only brought the babies into your room when it was time to feed them. The next thing we knew, when she was brought in for me to feed her, her eyes were no longer empty but filled with “life”! She smiled and ate well was just fine! I don’t know how to explain it except the fact that her eyes were once empty, but now they weren’t.

Whatever was wrong, God touched her right then and there in the nursery at the hospital as they prayed.

I was in the hospital for seven days because they tied my tubes and the babies were three weeks early, but I was able to bring them both home with me.

Now, aAt the age of six, the youngest of the twins, Darin, came down with bacterial meningitis. His blood veins actually disintegrated from the heat of a fever. He had spots from pools of blood that were all over his body. He hemorrhaged and some spots were big and some were little. Even his eyes and

tongue were spotted.

We were living in Markleysburg at the time in the mountains, and of all times, this happened at Easter when we took him to the hospital. The weather was so bad, both snow and ice. I had taken him to Meyersdale Hospital in my car and he was immediately taken into the emergency room where they began working on him and examining him.

They knew it was a life and death situation.

I called my mother and she told me to call Pearl, so I called her from a phone booth in the hall of the hospital before I even knew what was wrong with him, and she prayed with me. The power of God hit was so strong that I couldn’t feel the floor under my feet! All I could think of was that I knew it was bad, and that I didn’t tell him I loved him. I had to tell him I love him!

Darin was transferred to Somerset Hospital in all that bad weather. He was comatose, thrashing around, and wasn’t aware of anything. Boards had to be placed on his legs and arms and he had to be tied down to keep him still. He had needles in his head and in his feet, and from the convulsions, he had ripped the needles out. The doctors told me that if they could at least get him stabilized, they could get him to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh.

But the doctor clearly told us that he did not think he was going to make it. He explained that when the blood hemorrhages like that, burns and singes the nerve endings and it rots muscle tissue, and many times with men-

ingitis, finger, toes, feet and hands are amputated.

Another friend drove my mother and Pearl to Somerset Hospital where we just stood in a kid’s waiting room, with toys and books all around us, praying. As we prayed, the doctor came out and told us that he had stabilized enough to be transferred to Children’s Hospital. They still didn’t know what was wrong with him, but we knew why he was stable and we praised God! When we found out it was Meningitis, I was upset because we were told that the children and I had to take medication in case we too had meningitis, so we had to be quarantined for a week, and had to go back to our house in the mountains of Markleysburg. But my mother said, “Don’t worry!

I will go to Children’s and stay with him until you’re released.” During that time, I had so much trouble with Diana, his twin sister, because she was feeling what he was going through. They were that close (and still are). But when she saw him again, she was much better.

After prayer when Darin was transferred to Children’s Hospital, it was like God gave him new blood veins and vessels. He began to heal, and they would not release him until the spots went away. For as bad as he was, he was at Children’s Hospital for only a week. He didn’t lose any toes or fingers, and today he is fine. It took three years for his nerve endings to heal, and we were told that nerve endings don’t regenerate themselves.

God brought us through again!

From the Heart of a Mom: “Faith That Reached Heaven”

was six when my grandmother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and was miraculously healed. All those years, we sat under Kathryn Kuhlman’s ministry, and my mother and Pearl were ushers in her ministry. My grandfather was an usher too and sang in the men’s chorus. My brother and my mother’s baby sister and I were in the teenage choir, and it was instilled in us to always plead the blood of

Jesus over the situation; plead the blood over the circumstance. Kathryn Kuhlman said it many times, “to plead the blood of Jesus”. She said “It’s so simple that most folk miss it and instead try to analyze”.

In this age, we are so concerned about our kids and the way they’re being swayed. But no prayer is in vain over our kids! We’ve got to simply pray, and when we do, God will honor those prayers. God clearly showed me every

incident of how he spared my children’s lives and how he protected them and rescued them.

Today, my firstborn, David, who was born in September of 1962, is a retired Lt. Colonel in the Air Force and works in the Defense Dept. as a civilian. Debbie who was born two years later, is married and works in Human Resources; Danny who was born in 1968 is a mortgage broker,

and Gary who was born in January of 1970 is a chiropractor and a businessman. Gary has since sustained a stroke, but continues to overcome!

And as for the twins, Darin and Diana, who were born the same year as Gary: Diana is an elementary school teacher and a nanny; Darin is a businessman and respiratory therapist.

How can you deny it? Don’t ever give up on your kids. Plead the Blood of Jesus over your children and God will honor your prayers!
