Isn't Jesus Our Lord Wonderful!
While we were living in Mo. I wanted to get my teeth fix, for I had very buck teeth. I had to go to an
oral surgeon plus the orthodontist, for my jaw was deformed from birth. I had to have braces put on
my teeth, so the oral surgeon would be able to operate and move my teeth in position where they
should be after the surgery. It took me over a year before I was able to have the surgery. When I
went in to the hospital, this time I felt peace about it and a little excited for after this I would be able to close
my mouth, which I never was able to do before. My jaw was very deformed, and I knew it was going to
be a long operation, but this time I had no fears and no doubts of going through it.
After the surgery I was in intensive care and then 3 days later I was moved to a regular room, where I
would stay till I went home. My jaw was wired shut and I had to learn to sip every thing . The day before I was
suppose to come home, my doctor came in and told me that I was coming down with bronchitis and they might
not be able to send me home the next morning. I felt so nervous that day, and felt like if I don't get to go home
now I might not ever get to go home. I lay there praying, asking the Lord please let me go home. Then I went to
sleep for a brief moment and I heard my name being called. I opened my eyes. Who ever it was, called me
what my Father called me, Georgia Ann. At the foot of my bed stood a man, and when I saw him I felt
peace, and then he was gone. The next morning they took an xray of my lungs and later I was told
there was nothing wrong with me and I could go home. *S*
I was just suppose to have my jaws wired about 6 weeks and every week I went to see the surgeon.
Then he gave some news that I did not want to hear. He told me my jaw did not heal and that I was
going to have to go back in the hospital and he was going to scrape my hip bone and pack my
jaw with it. I asked was there any other way and he said no. As soon as he told me this the alarms
started going off in my head. No NO.. not this.
Again I felt it, something is going to go wrong, as time kept getting nearer and nearer, I had no peace
over this. I went to my church and told my pastor again I felt something was going to go wrong.
He prayed with me and so many people in the church did also, but finally the day came and
I went in the hospital Still I had no peace. That night this man came in who gives the you the antiseptic in
the operating room came in to have me sign some papers, and he was the same person I had before and
I knew his brother, that lived in the town where we were from. I opened up to him that night and told him,
my fear, and he told me this time he was not scheduled for my surgery, but he was going to switch with
some one else so he could be with me.(The reason why? I feel that the Lord was going to use this
man). He also had a Baptist preacher come up that night to see me and pray with me. The next morning
before they came to take me to surgery, I laid there and pray. I said "Lord I am your child" and I
thought about this Pastor I had in Michigan and he used to ask his people, "if you only had one hour to live
and you knew it, how would you want to spend it?" Just then different nurses started coming
through the door, as each person came in I asked them do you know Jesus Christ as Your Savior? This
even went on as they rolled me down for surgery. There was this one man, he said not many people are
concerned about others as they are going into surgery.
This part I don't know how to really express this, but I am going to do my best, I was still scared. I
think our flesh is afraid to let go, and I think this is what was happening to me, even though I knew I
had Jesus in my heart, the flesh did not want to give up. Again something did go wrong, this time I was
allergic to the antiseptic that was given to me. I don't understand this part, but I remember someone
saying I had no heart beat and I had no pulse and then I saw a bright light, and that's all I remember. I
was the first one for surgery that day and I was told within 3 hours I would be back in my own room. I
was taken back to my room late that evening. Again God Had His hands on me.
You would think a person who came close to loosing their life would continually walk close to God. It
was not that way for me. This is the year my son graduated from high school and a lot of things started going
wrong in my life again. My son was giving me all kinds of problems and my husband was getting mean
with his mental illness. During this time my Mother came out to Mo. to see my sister, for her son
was graduating too, but our boys were going to different schools. I went and saw my Mother after she
went to my sister's house. I went to ask her to please come to Troy's graduation, instead, I was
screamed at, and the whole time I was feeling all the rejections as I felt as a child. She told me she would
not ever go to any thing I invited her to. I was so angry and hurt, and I told her, she could rot in hell
before I would ever come and see her again.
Ron, also made me quit the church where we were attending and we went to another one and he
decided he did not like that one either so I had to pull out of this church too. Then he decided we
were going to go to this little church (still Baptist), but I at this time told him, I was finish with churches
and as far as I was concern if he wanted to go, he could go by himself and that I would never enter a
church again. (Big Mistake)..
Not long after that, Alison and I were in a car accident. I was driving down the main highway when a car
in front of me was getting ready to make a left hand turn, and had to wait, for traffic was coming in the
opposite direction. I stopped and was waiting for him to be able to turn, then all of a sudden I heard
something coming up behind me..and I knew we were getting ready to be hit, and just waited for the
impact. The driver that hit me from the rear, moved my car 150 yards down the highway. At first we just
sat there too stunned to move. I got out of the car and walked to the back of the car. There was not
even a dent or a scratch. The man that hit me was still siting in his car and I looked at his car and his car
was totaled out. My daughter and I ended up with some pretty bad whip lash's. The other driver just hurt his
knee. The state patrol came and said my car should have gone up inflames for the other driver hit me
at 70 miles an hour. He said he was day dreaming..
One night Ron decided to go into town and buy some ice cream, when he stepped out of the car this man
walked up to him and asked him, "do you know who I am?" and Ron said no. Then the man turned on him
and beat him up. He told him he knew where we lived and that if he saw me or the girls he was going to
beat us up. This scared Ron and so he made up his mind that we were going to move back to Ne.
Within two weeks I had to pack and have every thing ready even though I was not wanting to go. I
started having headaches and felt sick, so I made an appointment to see the doctor. There was a
new doctor in the clinic and they had me see him instead of my regular doctor. Well this new doctor was funny
about medicines and said my problem was my blood pressure medicine. He said I needed to go off of it and
see how I would do. With no medicine while trying to move, and so many other things laying on me during
this time, I actually started blaming God for me having to move. I told Him I was angry with Him
and angry with Ron. I told Ron I would never forgive him for up rooting me and making me go
back to Ne.
Ron knew a guy he went to school with who had some rental property, and asked him if we could rent a
house from him. It just so happened he had one, and so we had a house to go to when we moved back
up here. I hated it right off and so did the girls, (Troy had left for the Navy during all of this). I cried and I
cried. I felt like my life had totally fallen apart and I had nothing to hold on to. My headaches were getting
worse, so I saw a doctor about a week after we moved. When they took my blood pressure it
was above a stroke stage and right away the doctor put me on a blood pressure medicine. My
headaches did not leave and my blood pressure did not go down. I went back to the doctor and he
increased the medicine. That same night I laid in bed and my fingers started hurting and then my hand then
my arm..I told my husband I thought I was having a heart attack and I hoped I would die. By then
the pain was very severe in my chest. He was going to call the ambulance and I told him if he did, I
would make him regret it . I was still angry and all my anger was coming to full force from all the
years of hurts and pains I had.
He did not call the ambulance and then my blood pressure medicine started working, but there was
something wrong in me. I felt so empty and felt more pain of hurts than I ever did before. Then we
started looking around for a house to buy, and we found a house, a hugh house, and soon we were
moving in, but I was still not happy and now something else was going on. I cried and cried continuously,
and the shakes started. It was like I had a hard chill all of the time. At this time I was beginning to
want to kill myself for I felt I had nothing to live for. No one would miss me, no one would care, I thought. I
could not see what I was doing to my family. I was in my own grief my own pain, nothing mattered
around me.
Then one day, I had all I wanted of this world. We had a shot gun, and I did not even know how to
use a gun. We had no shells for it so I asked Ron if he wouldn't mind going to town and getting
some shells for it. He wanted to know why. I told him I am going to kill myself and I needed the shells.
He said ok and he left. Instead of coming home with shotgun shells he brought this Minister over
and the Minister asked me if I wanted to kill myself. I said "no.. where did you get that idea..Haha.."
like I was fooling him. I was sitting there with the shakes so hard. He stayed and talked to me about God and
I told him, I knew all about God, and tried to close him out as he talked. Then he asked me if I would go see
this counselor that He knew and I told him yes. (anything to get him out of the house) He did not stop there, he
went in the other room and made a call and set up an appointment for me. Now I felt trapped and knew I would
not get out of this appointment.
So the following day we went 50 miles to see a counselor. The counselor looked at me, and here I am
sitting shaking and crying. ( the tears never stopped) He told me that I needed to go into the hospital for I
needed more help than he could give me. From there I went over to the state mental hospital and told
them I needed to be committed and that I had come to check them out and see if I wanted to go in. (still
crying and still shaking) That day they showed me some rooms and showed me that it was like a regular
hospital and that I did need to get some help. I told them "not now, I have to go home and tell my
children and to prepare them so that they would understand." They begged me to stay "then", and I think they
were afraid if I walked out I would go through with the suicide. Instead I went home and told my girls and
my son. I did not want them to "even" visit me in that place, for I was ashamed of having
to go in the hospital for this reason.
I think the staff at the hospital was shock when I walked in and told them I was ready. One of the things
they do when you go in, is a body search, and the nurse that was suppose to give me one, said "I
cannot do this to you," and I started crying even harder. As soon as I walked into the ward, they
locked the door. That first day all I did was cry, that night I did not sleep, just cried and thought the shakes
were never going to end. The next morning I had to see the doctor and some staff members in a meeting. They
told me..that they would help me, but it was going to take some time, for I had a nervous break down.
When they were finished with me I went to and sat down in the lobby and started looking around me. I
saw these people that were "more like my husband than me" and I said "I am not like them, I should not be
here." Then at the moment, I knew what I needed, I needed Jesus. I had pushed Him away from me and now I
knew I needed Him to help me. I still remember what I said as I sat there.."Lord...Lord Jesus... Lord
please come...please help me...please forgive me...please forgive me how I have been to you. Lord, I do
need you and I need you now, for I feel like I am in a dark alley and cannot find my way out." Then He
came, my tears stopped, my shaking stopped, felt so much better. I came out of the darkness and went back
into the light where it was warm..where I belonged, "back with Jesus."
I was in the hospital for about two weeks and while I was there I met this young lady who had been
gang raped and her mind was really messed up, but she loved Jesus. I was in bed one night and she came
in and woke me and told me she had a message and wanted to let me know right away. She told me of
when I started going down hill and when in so many months something was going to happen to me and
that I was going to be a different person all together. After she left the room I laid there and started
counting back to when I started feeling like my world was falling apart, and it was as many months as she
said. I got up and went to her room and asked her how knew when my problems all started. She told me the
Lord told her.
Not long after I went home I met a lady who invited me to their church, and she told me it was a
pentecostal church and everyone was very friendly. (Now after claiming that I knew my God healed me,
wouldn't you think I would be ready to go to a church where they believe in the healing?) I looked at
her and told her "maybe we will come," but in the back of my mind "I am Baptist, I will not go there , I am
strictly Baptist. Then something happened that week which put me in a situation where I knew I had to go
to her church. I liked the people and the services, but I would not raise my hands like everyone
else and if someone spoke in tongues I told myself "this is fake its not real." Then that fall I went
forward thinking "now if I go forward and have them pray over me and if I don't speak in tongues, then
I know I am right."*S*..I went forward and nothing happen, but I did not feel the way I thought I
would, instead I felt disappointed.
That fall my heart was wanting to feel free from all of my wrongs and one of the wrongs I had, was
how I spoke to My Mother and even if she did not love me, I needed to ask her for forgiveness for the way I
treated her and for all the bitterness I had felt towards her. So I called her and asked for forgiveness, but
she would have no part of it.. and I told her over the phone, that it was ok even if she did not want to
accept my apology I cared about her and my bitterness and anger was gone. I felt the peace inside of
me, "when I let go of the pain of the past."
That fall I took sick and had to go in the hospital for I had pneumonia and another virus with it. I was in
the hospital for about two weeks, then I came home and less than a month I was back in the hospital with
pneumonia again.
I still kept going to church, and now my heart is getting hungry for more than I knew. Then one night
I had a dream and in my dream the Lord spoke to me and He told me within 3 days something was
going to happen to me, and when it did I was going to have to testify of what He did for me.
That morning when I awoke I felt weak and felt sick, but not sick. This was Sunday and I asked Ron if
he would take the girls to church for me for I did not feel good. So he and the girls left for church
and I stayed in bed. Later when I got up I felt weaker, by that evening I really started feeling like
something was seriously wrong. I had Alison go across the road and get our neighbor to come over,
I needed her help. When she walked in she asked me what was wrong and I told her, "don't think that I
am crazy, but I feel like my soul is wanting to leave my body." She called the ambulance and they came
and took me the hospital. On the ambulance I remember Talking to the Lord and telling Him, "if this is
what you meant in 3 days I am going to die then take me now I don't want to suffer."
When I got to the hospital they did tests on me and found that my system was lacking everything it is
suppose to have (like iron, and ect), so they admitted me and starting giving me I.V. to help me. The
next day they released me and sent me home and told me it would take awhile for me to have any
strength. That night I went to bed, disappointed not knowing why, but disappointed, and with some
more medicines added to my list to take.
The next day, I was sitting in a chair in the living room. and my daughter asked me if I would like to talk to
a special friend I had in Mo. and I told her ok. So Alison got her on the phone and then Ron and her
helped me over to the phone to talk to her. The chair I was sitting in was a kitchen chair. When she
came on the phone she asked me something..."Georgia do you want to die?" and I told her no, but just
so tired of being sick. Then she goes on "Georgia have you ever had the baptism of the Holy Spirit?" I told
her this.."Jayne I got to tell you something, I use to make fun of you behind your back about how you
believe, but now Jayne I am beginning to believe there is more to it than what I saw, and Jayne no I
have not had the baptism. of the Holy Spirit and I don't understand it." Then she started explaining it to me
and for the first time I understood. Then she asked me to put my hand on my head and for us to pray for
the Holy Spirit to baptize me. While we were praying, to me, it was like a miracle happened when I felt the Holy
Spirit come in.
From my feet up to my head, and during this time, my chair went backwards on its own and came forward
on its own, and I dropped the phone and said "got Him .. I GOT HIM".... and then the tongues came out..
then ..I could not sit any longer I got up and started praising Him and dancing around the room. My
family is looking on in pure shock. My daughter took the phone. and was telling Jayne what was
happening...Later she told me not to go off of my medicine, but I "will" be going off for I was healed.
Within a year, I started getting these cold chills and felt so low... went to the doctor and he said my blood
pressure was too low.. so he cut me back on the blood pressure medicine. That was ok for awhile but I felt
tired and so soon the doctor decided I needed to be checked over again so in the hospital I went.. Soon I was
checked for everything.. My heart was fine.. so they took the heart pill away, and I was taking a pill 3 times a
day. Now I am taking 3 pills a day for my blood pressure, blood pressure is normal. He takes me off of it.
Depression pills, I was taking 4 of them.."not depressed .. you don't need them" he said so they were taken
away.. then everything else was taken away. I walked away from that hospital with no medicine.. The Lord
completely healed me..Praise His Name..
After all this happened in my life, I am a new person, I raise my hands in church... I speak in tongues in
church, I have prohesy over me and the Lord has given to me so many gifts from Him for me to use..
I have gone and given my testimony at other churches and I have seen people accept the Lord
through my testimony.. You see He told me I had to testify of what He was going to do for me and
"that I do". If you read all of my personnel testimony, I just pray that it helps you.. for God is a loving
God.. He never left me.. even when I turn away from Him for a season.. He was still there waiting on
me to call His name.. The young lady who told me in so many months that something was going to
happen to me.. it was the same months when I receive the Holy Spirit.
My Mother is still alive and I hold no anger about her, or of my Father or of anyone else.. All those
hurts and pains are gone.. I have been totally set Free.. and thank you for reading this and thank You
Jesus for holding me in your hands..
