The texts quickly circulated around the Jeffersonville area: “Brother Michael needs prayer immediately. He was thrown off his horse and is in serious condition."

All of us feel a burden for our fellow believers, but the situation seems even more urgent when it’s a close friend whose life is in grave danger. As He always does, the Lord Jesus heard the prayers of His people and stepped on the scene. The following is Brother Michael’s testimony.

I want to thank everyone for praying for me. On the 23rd of August, I got on a horse and he reared back on me, falling on me, and the saddle crushed into my stomach. I crawled about three feet in extreme pain and a lump the size of a grapefruit had formed on my stomach. My hips and pelvis were in extreme pain, like they were broken and I was having trouble breathing.

I was laying on my right side and my arm had turned blue. My wife called 911 and was praying next to me. She also called a few believers to pray for me and they called a few more, etc. In my semi-conscious state, I started to make my peace with my Lord. I asked for forgiveness for my faults. I felt at peace and I was ready to go Home.

I was muttering to my wife that I loved her and my daughters when the EMTs showed up. They said I had a "hot belly" (medical term for internal bleeding in the abdominal cavity), potential broken pelvis, and my right lung had no activity.

I was put on a helicopter from my neighbor’s yard and flown to U of L hospital, but by that time, God's Saints had been praying for me. When they did the CAT scan on me they only found bruising. The lump in my stomach had went away and my breathing had improved. They kept me overnight to check for intestinal damage and impurities in my blood. But God healed me and now I am home, just a little sore and bruised.

Thank God for what He did for me two thousand years ago and thank God for letting me be apart of this End Time Message! Praise Jesus!
