Trigger warning for sensitive individuals: There is a mention of Heidi's emotional, spiritual, physical and sexual abuse in this episode. There is nothing explicit or detailed, it is simply referenced. The focus of our conversation is on healing, forgiveness and hope. and I pray this testimony will encourage every listener.

Heidi Barr was 16 when she died in a horseback riding accident and came face to face with Jesus. Raised in a small Orthodox Jewish community in Iowa, her atheist father had taught her that Jesus was a hoax.

Closing prayer and blessing by John Burke:

We have a LIVING HOPE in Jesus - 1 Peter 1:3-9 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

In 1989, 10-year-old Joshua Dennis went missing in Utah's Hidden Treasure Mine. Despite a massive five-day manhunt, Joshua remained unfound, trapped in the dark, cavernous mine without food, water or light. All hope may have been lost had it not been for angelic protection and guidance.   In this episode I get to meet Joshua Dennis and Garrett Batty, the man who has written and directed the movie based on this miracle. Joshua and Garrett share a bit about the journey getting the testimony on the big screen, a few of the highlights and what they hope viewers will take from the film. Did Joshua suffer with injuries after the incident? He did share with me (after our recording) that he suffered from frostbite on his toes and feet briefly and there was talk about possible amputation, but praise God his feet were healed and he does not suffer long term effects. John Skinner (a major role in the film) is still alive to see this event captured on screen. Apparently he is even more shy than Joshua, but this warmed my heart to know he is able to celebrate with everyone who lived through this event.   To find showtimes, more info, or leave a review for Faith of Angels: faith-of-angels.com   The purpose of Everyday Miracles Podcast is to share the love of Jesus.

Dave Borrelli died on June 18th, 2022. While swimming in a pool with family, Dave experienced what doctors define as a shallow water blackout. His brother pulled his lifeless body from the bottom of the pool and was able to resuscitate him. In this episode Dave shares:

The Bible verse "your young men will see visions" appears: Joel 2:28 "And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions" Acts 2:17 "In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people; your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams" John 16:7-15 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment about sin, because people do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”   Song that Dave heard in his experience: https://youtu.be/GKxMRFcLlww?si=21DbCw486PoLzjme More info on shallow water blackouts and how to avoid it: https://underwaterhypoxicblackout.org/how-it-happens

  "I just want you to know, God loves you. God has you in the palm of his hand. You may be fighting a battle right now, but don't believe those 'never' lies. Don't believe the never lies that I'm never going to get well. I'm never going to overcome this. Just keep persevering, keep trusting God, keep doing everything that you know to keep your head up. Keep your head up looking at God and trusting in Him and exercising your faith and feeding your faith every day. And you are going to get your breakthrough miracle in Jesus name. God doesn't want to withhold it from you. He wants to give it to you, but sometimes he's doing a work in us before he does a work for us. And that's why God didn't do everything instantly because sometimes he's trying to grow our spiritual muscles and, and develop us and grow us up." - Steve Austin     "I am the Lord who heals you." -Exodus 15:26     "These signs will follow those who believe: In my name...they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover." -Mark 16:17-18 (Words of Jesus)     Steve's website for new devotional BE HEALED with pre-order perks!: https://www.pastorsteveaustin.com/   Where to find more on the Living Hope Chaplaincy: https://livinghopechaplaincy.com/home   Steve's email: [email protected]   Steve's wonderful book GOD HEALS with declarations, prayers, and so much more: https://a.co/d/5JLaFI5 Ramiro's American Idol miracle share and singing Amazing Grace: https://youtu.be/gpoobGy9Ph4?si=Ru3yzclmZ1koy4Bc

She had chemo: 8 months of fulfirinox, 8 months of gemcitabine (Gemzar). The clinical trial of immunotherapy was a combination of nivolumab, ipilimumab, and cobimetinib. A few of Lynne's favorite verses for her fight: 2 Thessalonians 3:3 "But the Lord is faithful and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one."  Lamentations 3:22-23 "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed for his compassions never fail.

God created you in His own image. You are His beloved child and He has incredible plans in store for your future. God wants the very best for you and His vision for your life will always be immeasurably more than you could ever ask, dream, or imagine. Jesus makes life meaningful, but He also makes death meaningful. He saves us from life vanity and gives us a hope beyond the grave!

  John 14:12-14 "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." -Jesus   "God is doing miracles. He is changing lives. I don't know what God will do in your life, but we don't believe in what He will do, we believe in what He can do, and that's where our faith has to lie. Miracles draw attention. I believe the more we pray, the more miracles we see. There's a direct correlation. It's so important for us to pray out loud in Jesus' name. There's no other name under heaven by which man can be saved." -Pastor Matt Brown, Sandals Church   Matthew Stephen Brown is the founding and Senior Pastor at Sandals Church in Riverside, CA.
