On November 12, 2004 I stepped into the
pulpit in Sydney, Australia and said, "One year
ago on November 12, 2003 I dropped dead of a
massive heart attack in your airport and was
clinically dead for 30 minutes. But
tonight I am back alive and well..."
the people stood and began to applaud! It
was a most emotional moment for me.

is the emotion
that gripped me when I was shown these
photos taken by Brother Nassif with his cell
phone one year ago when I was first
admitted to the hospital in Sydney.
It was difficult because no photos were
allowed by the hospital and the photos
are small because of the tiny camera
capabilities of his cell phone.
I
am forever grateful to Brother Nassif
for obtaining this lasting record of my
being 'so terribly dead.'
Brother Nassif had kept these photos on
his cell phone since November 2003 until
I returned in November 2004. I had
no idea that there were more than the
one I already had.

| Doctors in
hospitals both in Sydney and here at
home are forced to admit that it is a
miracle of God. There is no
way to refute it because it is medically
documented with eye witnesses all along
the way. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

I will never forget the
sacrifice and expression of
concern
toward me as a Brother in the
Lord when I was unable to help
myself...
Brother Jeff Young and Brother
Doug came immediately from
Bethel Springs, Tennessee to
assist in any way they could
on my behalf. Brother
Young has been a loyal
and trusted friend for nearly
twenty years.
|
 |
I was heavily sedated
with powerful drugs and
filled with tubes and
wires
immediately
just
before
this photo was taken.
I kept pulling them out
which
understandably
frustrated the nurses
and doctors assigned to
my care.
In their frustration,
they determined to
totally strap me in so
that I could not move.
This announcement was
made the morning Brother
Young and Brother Doug
arrived and came into my
room. |
Upon hearing the doctor's
intent, Brother Young said, "No,
we will not let you do that to
him. We will sit on either
side of him and hold him down
all day and pray!" They did
so... and early the next morning
when they came to see me,
I was sitting up on the side of
my bed and said, "Brother Young,
what are you doing here?"
It was the first time I even
realized they were there because
of the medication. About
that time, the doctor walked in
and exclaimed, "This is not the
same man I took care of last
night!" Their prayers had
broken the power of the drugs
and from that moment on I was
totally restored to normal.
The news spread through the
hospital and many came to view
and to hear a man raised from
the dead by the Power of God in
our day! TO GOD BE THE
GLORY - HE ALONE CAN TAKE IT IN
MY CASE...

As I
left Sydney after the Revival Crusade in
November of 2004 -
(one year later after the heart attack,)
I asked Brother Slack on the way to the
airport if we could have breakfast at
the restaurant where I had fallen and
lay dead for over thirty minutes the
year before. And he replied, "No
problem."
In the above photo
I am sitting where the policeman had
been sitting when he saw me fall and who rushed to assist me
with CPR until the ambulance arrived...

The owner of the restaurant
greeting me one year later -
November 2004
Directly behind her to the left is the
waitress. When Brother Slack and I
walked into the restaurant, the waitress
immediately recognized me and came
quickly exclaiming, "You look
great!" I simply replied,
"I'm doing great!"
She then went quickly into the back and
brought out the owner. The owner
said, "You look great" when she
saw me and my response was the
same! They were happy to see me
and expressed great kindness toward me
and those with me.
The restaurant had been closed after I
had the heart attack. A crowd
gathered around to watch the CPR, and
electric shock treatments to the heart
and chest area. Portable walls
were brought and put up to keep the
crowd away...

This photo is a real treasure to
me. Sister Nassif, myself, Brother
Nassif, Brother Slack, and Jena saw me
off from the airport and I positioned
myself so that while we ate, I could
look just a few feet beyond me and view
the floor where one year before I had
lain dead for thirty minutes.
It moved me in ways I cannot totally
explain. But the reality of life
and the Power of God is more pronounced
in my life than ever before.

When I was put
in the ambulance, I was slated for DOA -
Dead on Arrival
The
blood had coagulated in my hands,
forearms, feet and calves. What I
did not know is that it had also clotted
in my heart. There were clots and
the doctor's advice was, "We have
to cut him open immediately to even try
to save his life." Pastor
Slack and those with him said, 'No,
we'll pray." And they prayed...
They took another
set of pictures of my heart and
the clots and blockages had
disappeared!!! They did not cut me
open. The photos above portray Dr.
Pitney's exclamations and comments.
Dr.
Pitney told me himself that there was
one huge blood clot at the top of the
heart area. But it totally
disappeared and he said, "We do
not know what happened to it.! BUT
WE DO - JESUS STEPPED ON THE
SCENE!

Dr. Pitney and myself in his
office Nov 2004
We had
a wonderful discussion about it all.
He was ever so kind and totally
interested in me and my welfare. I
simply wanted to walk in, shake his
hand, and thank him for all he had done
for me.
He
gave me the photos with the clots and
without the clots in my heart.
They are now in my album of memories
from My Miracle in Sydney!

Nigel
Ambulance Driver
Through the year of 2004,
I stayed in contact with Nigel
and asked to see him when I
returned in November of 2004.
He so very kindly agreed and we
had lunch together. In
all, we spent about three hours
together chatting and sharing.
In that time, there were many
questions I wanted to ask him
because he was the only one that
would really know. He was
the one who had attended to me
and had administered the
electric shock treatments to my
heart while lying dead on
the floor of the Sydney airport.
I asked him, "Nigel, what
happened when you shocked my
heart?" He said, "It would
beat two or three times;
sometimes four times; and then
STOP! |
He
said, "Lee, everything that could go
wrong went wrong. We were not told
you had had a heart attack. Only
that someone had fallen at the airport.
This is routine work for us, so we were
not aware of the graveness of your
situation. People fall daily at
the airport and result in sprains of
various kinds.
It was
not until we were walking in the airport
that a policeman came and said, "You
must come quickly. This man is
very sick. They are giving him
CPR. It was then I realized it was
quite serious! When we got to the
restaurant and saw you lying on the
floor, I knew you were dead.
Nothing worked. Even the battery
on my machine went dead. We were
able to use another one which the
paramedic had brought with her."
I
said, "Nigel, when did I really begin to
breath and my heart begin to beat?"
He said, "Lee, it was not until
you were in the ambulance on the way to
the hospital and you were expected to
arrive Dead On Arrival."
I
said, "So, Nigel, I was actually
clinically dead for longer than thirty
minutes wasn't I?" He replied
immediately, "Oh yes, you were
dead for at least forty-five minutes."
My
condition was far worse than I knew and
the Miracle of my being raised from the
dead even more Miraculous than I had
understood!
How
can I repay Jesus, Nigel, doctors,
Pastor Slack and congregation there in
Sydney, and believers world wide for all
they have so gracious done and given on
my behalf? I will continue
to do for others on behalf of Jesus and
His Great Commission to Preach the
Gospel to every creature what I have
always done. It is all I know and
feel to do...
Someone said, "What a price to pay with
what you have been through." But I
would reply: "BEHOLD THE PURCHASE
OF SUCH A PRICE!"
Miraculous healings have taken place in
the lives of people all over the world
where I have gone since I have been
raised from the dead! His
every wish is my command and someday
when I see Him, my ultimate wish
and reward will be to simply hear Jesus
say: "WELL DONE."
Nothing else really matters to me.
God
Bless all who read here and may the Love
of God flood your whole being as never
before! Jesus grant it I Pray!

| The
sacrifices of love and devotion shown and
demonstrated during my hospital vigil by this
staff and people are indelibly engrained in my
memory... I can never forget. They
sat with me daily and nightly. They
never left me alone and constant prayer was
given on my behalf continuously. The power
of prayer by the people of God has no equal.
But in the Church, we are covered with that
which moves the heart and hand of God!

I had
the most peaceful and powerful time of my life there
this year and rejoiced greatly in the manifestation of
the Spirit of God! The reality of Jesus and His
Power were dominate in every service. The
participation of the people was exciting and blessed!

This man
praying was so typical of so many, many
people throughout the crusade. It
was inspiring and uplifting to one and
all.
Many felt that we had the most
outstanding services ever this year.
Crowds were record
in attendance. Marvelous healings,
people receiving the Holy Ghost, and
being baptized in the Mighty Saving Name
of Jesus Christ highlighted each
service!
TO GOD BE THE GLORY! |
