How I got my life back Through

Jesus CHRIST

One August morning in 1972, while living in Guyana I had a fever and was trembling voilently. It was about 4 AM when my dad gave me 4 non-coated aspirin in the hope that the fever would subside. During that day I had no apetite and ate nothing. This continued until 3 days later when my mom urged me to just force myself to eat some food.

A few minutes after eating, my stomach felt very heavy and I threw up all that I ate plus a liberal coating of fresh blood. The following day she took me to the hospital where I got some medicine. When we returned home I took a tablet and a mouthful of tea. In no time I threw it up and more fresh blood.

For the next several days I went without food or liquid. By day ten after taking the aspirin I sensed my parents concern and even saw my mom crying. On day 12 my mom made barley soup and gave me one tablespoon to drink. To their relief the soup stayed. After that she fed me one tablespoon at about 4-hour intervals and gradually increase the quantity the following day.

About a week later I went to fetch her a bucket of water. As I was giving her she started to cry and said that she had been afraid that she would have lost me.

In February, 1976 at about 8:10 AM, while preparing cash for deposit at an insurance company where I worked, robbers invaded the building. One bandit had to get past me to the money and Iwas chopped with a machette. I scaled the enclosure to run out of the building and heard another instructing a third to shoot me before I got out of the door. I dropped to the floor and laid there until all was quiet. My hand was split in two between the ring and middle fingers down to the wrist and was bleeding profusely. By the time I received medical attention I lost consiousness.

By an act of miracle the wound healed and I regained about ninety percent use of my hand.

I suffered a heart attack in 1996 while riding. I did not know what the almost 4 hours of pain was and did nothing about it. When the second one happened in 1997 it was just as severe, but I was still ignorant of what was happening to me.

The third one occured in 1998. I visited a doctor but he did not tell me why I was having the pain and prescribed some medication. I noticed that a slight exersion would cause pain in the heart and shoot up into my left arm. I could not make more than about 50 steps without causing the pain. I had to be motionless for a couple minutes before moving on.

In September, 1999 I had the fourth heart attack while servicing an engine. This was more severe than those incidents before. I was rushed to hospital and taken in intensive care. I realized then that it was only a matter of time before death would visit. I signed my own discharge to be at home to spend the remaining days with my family.

Meanwhile, my wife asked my sister in the US to buy me a ticket to New York so that I might get help. I was reluctant to spend the money that we had as I felt the effort would be futile, but I took the trip on 14 December with Jesus beside me.

The Bangladeshi doctor that saw me told me that I had less than 2 weeks to live. I was admitted to the hospital and he asked another Doctor from India to help. The Surgeon performed the operation which lasted at least eight hours. Two days later I woke up to see the entire team of the operating room around my bed. I told the surgeon thanks, but he advised me to give God thanks.

The cost was more than US$180,000.00. Someone paid the bill but I never found out who it was..

In June 2002, I needed a few thousand dollars for the closing cost of our first home, but had none. The call from the lawyer came at midday. I went into my room, knelt beside my bed and sought the LORD JESUS' help, but a voice within me said to get out of the house.

I got into my beat-up old Camry but did not know where to go. I ended up at my cousin's workplace and related my predicament. His earnings was not that great and did not have spare cash. I needed the money by 4:00 PM that day. After a couple hours he remembered a friend who ran a business and gave him a call. The friend agreed to help. I then called the lawyer's office to let them know that I would be there before they closed for that day.
