Well I have told this story elsewhere but I never got to the full issue (I think) anyways this has to do with myself, and an event that took place while in church alongside my dad.

Anyways it was the typical Saturday night sermon, in which at this time I was under the impression that religion was a bunch of crock and along with it crazy and muddled up, my church convinced myself that everyone there had either been high on something, or they were just plain crazy.

I remember having my dad insist on having the guest minister who had been originally from Nigeria and was well known in his country, the name was Joseph Thompson, had written some various books and came together with some considerably miracolous events in his time, so my dad had him come and pray over me for some strange and odd reason, forgetting to what relevance it had at that time I was quite embarrassed and nearly humilated, but then, he had turned to me and said the most random, completely out of there statement I could have ever heard of in my life, all by saying "you know, someday I believe you will be a great preacher."

On the ride home I only thought of the church as more crazy and irrational to tell someone like myself at that time that I was going to be a great preacher, I would have regretting becoming a supposed leader among a bunch of what I considered as hysterical, however, the few months following that night did I know I was run over by a large SUV vehicle, it had been going nearly 40 miles per hour, I recall that while I had been flung back into the air and upon viewing the sunlight in my face I saw the light glow into a milky white, and then I saw the concrete once more, before blacking out of course.

As far as injuries there where hardily any, I only had a severe blow to the head which a thick secreation of blood surrounding the area of my skull, it had been a terrifying experience after waking up, however, when you feel death is rapidly approaching, you can only be a pestimystic, and think of the negative yet to come.

Although it may be all behind me this current stage in time, I was more than afraid to pass to the afterlife, my condition was so immediate that despite the lack of injuries I could have been just as open to death as if I had multiple injuries, I asked God deep within my heart "please don't let me die, please don't let me die, please don't let me die".

Sure enough, flashes of in and out moments occured while at the same time experiencing an awful headache of mine, I remember that shortly after the cat-scan I woke up in a hospital bed, and there had been my father, I had been expecting the doctors to tell me that I didn't have very long to live before I passed away, but to my suprise the doctors had said that I would go back to the way I was 100% healed of any injury I may have, and that they had never seen such a recovery, most of the people brought in from such accidents are found to be permanently injured or end up dead within the next few hours of their arrival, and that they had never seen such results from an accident such as this one.

Turns out that my dad had a dream or supposed revelation that week before, he said that during his dream there had been two Anubis heads standing over me while I was in a feetle position, as he went over to approach them, the Anubis' growled and snarled their teeth, but when he went on in even closer, they ran away, while he had arrived at the hospital, to his suprise he found I was lying in the same position as his dream.

Even more ironic is that Anubis was the Egyptian god of death, if you don't know exactly who this may be it is a god with a dog shaped like head, it is the god of the afterlife bent on reaping souls and taking them to Hades, as I pondered on this, my dad had also went on talking about his friends that came over and prayed over me while I was unconcious, I remember him telling me once that in the bible it says that when more than one Christian believes and prays for God's help, it shall be done.

I healed within less than two weeks after the accident and am now in perfectly healthy condition and am 100% functional as I was before, since the last year or so, I have found a profound interest in religion and you will find me from time to time studying the bible, as I think back to this, I remember all the times I doubted those words, today I have found an interest in the philosophy of Catholicism, demonology, possession, etc., I continue to further my reading on things I thought I would never be interested in, I have found power in areas never unveiled to me, I now see religion for more than what most people think it is.

How sad it is that some need an accident or the like to becaome more spiritual. I have been on a religious search since I was in jr high. My parents encouraged us to find our own beliefs. I'm glad you found your path, I just wish that it din't have to happen under those circumstances.

Yeah, it wasn't all that fun either

my older brother suffered a similar accident, he wrecked a fire truck and rolled it about 4 times before it fell over a bridge and dropped 40ft, he was thrown from the engine right before it went over. I am also a firefighter but luckily was too far away to make it to the station to be on the truck, i came on the scene as they were putting him on th stretcher, he was unresponsive to anything and his head was already swelling from the injury, and me and my family just prayed for god to spare his life, because i knew that he had not been living right. No one thought that he would survive the helicopter flight to the hospital, but amazingly he did, they did emergency surgery on his brain to stop the bleeding and gave him a 20% chance to live if he made it through the surgery. The brain surgeon told us he had one of the biggest bleeds she had ever seen and told us not to expect much out of him for months. they said he wouldnt know us or be able to talk or anything. But the next day when he woke up he knew everyone, just didnt know why he was in the hospital. he stayed in the hospital for 14 days and then came hom and is doing great. This happened on thanksgiving day last year and i still thank god everytime i cross that bridge for sparing my brothers life.

Interesting what happens in the universe these days
