Doctor Confirmed Miracle: “It Was God’s Hand”

Well, I'm laying in the ambulance and I'm trying to breathe. And it's just getting shallower and it's getting harder. And I just couldn't push air anymore. Like, it just wouldn't go through. And I just looked up at them and I just whispered, this is my last breath. And that's the last thing I remember. July of 2016, David Beeser lay dying in the back of an ambulance. The high school football coach was in need of several miracles. After a boating accident with his family on the Colorado River left him fighting for life. I had been up and down through that area thousands of times. Each trip we would go, that was the only way to get in and out back to where we were camping or where our house was. The sun was setting and it was coming down at an angle. And there was a glistening shimmer on the water, but you couldn't tell how deep it was. A sandbar had developed just inches under the water's surface since the last time David had cruised this stretch of the river. He drove his boat onto the sandbar at nearly 40 miles per hour. So we went from just going full speed, with a boat full of people just having a great time, to zero within just a few feet. The full force of the collision was right on my neck. I hit the steering wheel right at my voice box and airway. And immediately, I could feel it was becoming difficult to breathe. My first concern was my family and my kids, but the inability to really, I physically couldn't really do anything because I was in really bad shape. And I knew that I was in trouble. Without medical attention, he knew he would soon be unable to breathe. It became very difficult to breathe very quickly. And I could feel it tightening up and I could feel my airway starting to close. That was the time that you really cry out to God and say, I can't do this. And I'm going to need you to see us through this. And the only way that I could have peace was knowing that I knew who held my future. David and his family are Christians. As they prayed, they saw God's hand in their time of need. My wife tried to call 911, and we've been in that area a lot and could never get a cell phone to work from that area. And we tried many times in the past to try to call and check on something back home and never gotten through. That day, the phone call immediately went through to 911. First responders quickly arrived at a nearby boat ramp but had to wait for a sheriff's boat that was still 20 minutes away. Thankfully, an off-duty sheriff heard about the situation and rushed to the sandbar in his personal boat. If the off-duty sheriff that came for me had not come, with certainty I would have died on the boat in front of my kids. While in transit to a hospital in Yuma, Arizona, he sent a text to a friend from church. I just said that we'd been in an accident and that I thought everybody else was going to be OK. And I said that I was in bad shape. Pray for me. Hundreds of people began praying for David as news got out about the accident. Before he reached the hospital, his lung collapsed and he passed out. Dr. Brian Weeks explains the severity of David's condition. What David experienced was what's called a laryngeal fracture. And it's absolutely a life-threatening injury because of its effects on the airway and the person who suffers its ability to breathe. His vocal cord area swelled. And when you swell in your airway, you die. Doctors were able to insert a breathing tube through the damaged area in his windpipe. He was then life-flighted to St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix. David was placed in an induced coma for five days, giving his airway time to heal. The first trauma doctor, when I woke up, he looked at me and said, there's only one reason you're alive, G-O-D. And I knew it. I'd been in that ambulance and I knew that I needed a miracle to make it. After his release from the hospital, David experienced intense pain and difficulty breathing once again. He was readmitted for an emergency tracheotomy due to a growth in his airway called a granuloma. We describe that in layman's terms as proud flesh. It's tissue that grows in the setting of healing. And those, again, in a small area like the airway, that can be very problematic. As doctors prepared to surgically remove the growth, they took another look at his airway and were surprised at what they didn't see. He went in with a camera and the mass was gone. And he'd never seen anything like it. He just looked at it and said, it's not there. It probably was divine intervention. I know a lot of people were praying for David and a lot of people were holding him up in their thoughts and prayers. David was very fortunate that his granuloma did go away on its own. And that saved a lot of time and an additional procedure. That's an easy one to explain. God still does miracles. Just a week later, David had his trach removed and was calling plays for Christian High School football in San Diego, thankful for the answered prayers and the healing that kept him alive. I have a wife and kids and he's given me the ability to continue to be a dad. I'm thankful for my friends who rallied for me incredibly, just the prayers of school family, church family, just the outpouring of love. You never really realize how much you're loved until you go through a situation like this. There's times where you know that the game is beyond your level. And this situation was certainly, I knew that I had no role in staying alive. I mean, it was God's hand and God's mercy alone that would keep me alive. Thank you, Dave. You know, one thing I love about being a part of this program is being a part of the stories we're able to share with you. Ordinary people, ordinary families who in many cases like this one, just quickly life changes so fast and they're out having fun and all of a sudden there's serious trauma and danger. And we're sharing a story here how a family prayed in their desperation and we rejoice and celebrate that God intervened and saved his life and his family was protected. Now, many of you, I don't know what you're overwhelmed with. I don't know the burdens you're carrying. I don't know where you're saying, Lord, I need you. I need your intervention and I'm not hearing your voice. I'm not seeing you move. You might be in that situation. It's for yourself or someone you really care about and you're saying, God, we need you desperately here. Maybe he's teaching you things in it or maybe you're just earnestly seeking him day after day and growing weary. Ashley and I wanna pray for you today. Pray for your prayer need, whatever that is. And most of all, I want you to be reminded today to stay in the word of God. And even sometimes when it's difficult, stay in the word and trust. Sometimes it's easier said than done, but the Lord has not abandoned you. He is faithful. He is faithful even when we don't see it, even we don't detect he's working, he is. And scripture reminds us of that. So Ashley and I are gonna pray for you now. Whatever your need is, just bring it before the Lord. Pray with us. Now, before we pray, I wanna share a couple wonderful praise reports. It just shows how God is working in our audience in all different ways. Someone was watching on YouTube and Autumn wrote us and she said, God delivered me from a heroin addiction. That is serious stuff. I was a prodigal daughter and he took me from relapse to redemption. Sounds like a book title she's working on. He is mighty, praise the Lord. Amen, he is mighty. And this is another YouTube viewer and they write, my four-month-old baby boy was in the hospital for a month and just recently got discharged. I am so grateful to God for saving my son's life. And as Andrew said, just be in the word of God and keep praying, keep believing that God is going to break through. I just believe right now, especially right before Easter, this is a season of breakthrough in your life and in the lives of the children of God. You are a son, you are a daughter of the Most High King. There is favor, there is anointing, there is healing over you today. So just receive it right now. We're gonna pray, we're gonna ask God to move. We're gonna ask God for breakthrough in your lives right now. So just pray with us. Heavenly Father, we just love you right now. We just take a moment to say thank you, Jesus. Thank you, King Jesus, that you reign above it all. You reign over every negative diagnosis. You reign over death, hell, and the grave. Lord, this is the season where we remember and we honor and we celebrate your life, your death, and your resurrection. And we believe and declare, Jesus, that the same resurrection power that raised you from the grave lives inside of us and is operating and healing and setting people free. So today we declare breakthrough in the name of Jesus. Breakthrough over your bodies, breakthrough over your minds. Thank you, Jesus. Breakthrough in hearts today that need healing to be set free from anxiety, depression, sadness, loneliness. I just believe the Holy Spirit is coming upon individuals right now and you will feel the tangible presence of God Almighty. Just receive it right now. Thank you, Jesus. For that one who heard Ashley say fresh anointing and you're seeking that because you've grown so weary of praying. And I just speak that over you now, a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit in which in your spirit you're gonna feel, it's like a jolt of energy and enthusiasm to revisit praying for what you've been praying for for so long. And I just pray the Holy Spirit of God moves in power in your family's situation in Jesus' name. There's someone else who heard us read the report about breaking free from the bondage of heroin addiction and that really resonated with you because you're praying for a daughter, I believe, that has a heroin addiction. And the Lord hears your cries and he sees your daughter and he is with her. In Jesus' name, we just pray for drug addictions to be broken in Jesus' name. In the name of Jesus. And I feel like somebody's watching and you actually have an infection in your blood and it's causing a lot of different issues, almost making you septic. The word septic has been used over you and has been spoken over you, but today we speak healing and wholeness over your body, your blood, every cell in your body be healed. In the mighty name of Jesus, amen and amen. Woo, all right, guys. Well, if you just had an answer to prayer, please let us know. Give us a call, 1-800-700-7000.
