2022 Most Recent Miracle in My Life
My Most Recent Miracle, 2021-22
Over a year ago I was praying about what Fellowship the Lord wanted me to step into. At that time I was relocating with my wife to CA from Alaska. My experience with Christian fellowship in Alaska was that it is very, very legalistic. Pastors have left their homes in mostly the South who wanted to built something they felt called to do.
In either case, we lived up there for 15 years, and when the time came we packed up and left. We bought a house here in Redding, CA. We had just signed, so we took each other out to a picnic to celebrate and thank God.
I was sitting in my wife’s truck when suddenly I felt extremely dizzy. I told my wife that, and pushed the seat back telling her, “I’m fine. I just put the chair back and ….. “
The next thing I remember was looking up to see helicopter blades spinning in the air. From my days as a paratrooper I came to learn that a helicopter blade spinning over you means somebody has called you a limo.
After the emergency room visit, and as I was waking up there I could hear the voices of nurses freaking out, “Push this, turn that, give him this, watch that … !”
About an hour later a doctor came to see me. The first thing he said was this. It was a question, “What did you see?!” I answered, “What? See what? Where?”
Then he very seriously, but in a tone of amazement, “Mr. Yeghian, you were legally dead for almost 7 minutes.” My heart had completely stopped.
But …
Next to the door of my wife’s truck on her side were, oddly enough, two nurses who had come all the way from New Zealand because they had heard that Northern California looked in places like New Zealand. Their rented car was next to my wife’s truck’s door. They heard my wife losing it and they jumped out of their car in seconds.
But they couldn’t get me out of the truck to get me on the ground for CPR. I was essentially dead, and they didn’t have the muscles to pull me up in my seat, and then through the truck door frame. It was the angle, that is, according to my wife. I wasn't really there.
However, equally odd, there was one other car in park lot, a car on my side of the truck, and they had, also strangely, rather poorly, parked, and for some reason, left plenty of space between own truck and their car. It was a very remote park. Guess how many vehicles there were? Three: my wife’s truck, a car full of nurses from New Zealand, and guess who was in the car on my side of the truck?
Two body builders who didn’t want to go to the gym that day because of Covid, so once a week they would apparently load up their weights, put some in the trunk, and train in a park. They were a second away from where I was laid dead in the truck, and they heard the nurses scream help.
My new city’s champion body builder was parked in the car next to my wife’s truck.
I year an-a-half ago I wanted to be active with American home Fellowships, but God needed to overhaul my heart, apparently. I apologize. I’ve been in the shop.
I can read Hebrew, Aramaic, and Hellenistic Koine Greek, and with Koine I have pretty first language fluency. I have been reading in this Koine language, from 300 BC to 400 AD, for over 45 years. I am of service to any Fellowship in the USA. Don’t be shy.
Grace, Peace, and God's Love to all of you!
T. Yeghian
