1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,600 Greetings and welcome to this episode of Faith to Live By. 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:09,160 I'm your host Pam Christian, where each week I seek to help us discover and live in life-giving 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,560 truth, and experience all the hope truth provides. 4 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:18,800 In recent years, the search for truth has become paramount because we've learned all 5 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:25,240 of us worldwide have been intentionally lied to and deceived while the godless, self-appointed 6 00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:29,580 elite seek to advance their agenda for a one-world government. 7 00:00:29,580 --> 00:00:34,360 I usually help us explore current events from a biblical and prophetic perspective so we, 8 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:40,160 as God's children, can know how he wants us to respond, which I firmly believe is most 9 00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:45,840 needed today because we are living in the most unprecedented times the world has ever 10 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:46,840 known. 11 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,280 And this reality has been confirmed again and again through God's trusted modern-day 12 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,280 prophets. 13 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,960 So today, I want to explore current events as it relates to our health. 14 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,440 We know our health has been targeted by the globalists. 15 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,320 While they have claimed concern for the world's climate, in reality I firmly believe they 16 00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:08,580 want to reduce the population to make it more manageable. 17 00:01:08,580 --> 00:01:14,280 Their plans, as disclosed on the now-destroyed Georgia Guidestones, and as revealed in Klaus 18 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:21,740 Schwab's book COVID-19, The Great Reset and the United Nations Agenda 2030, make evident 19 00:01:21,740 --> 00:01:26,120 that they want to control the world, and a primary way they've planned to do that is 20 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,080 by impacting our health. 21 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,400 I've had James Rogusky on my show before to help us understand how the United Nations, 22 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,920 through the World Health Organization, seeks to control the world's population in a variety 23 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,200 of ways. 24 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:46,120 The unproven and mandated so-called vaccine people were caused to take has led to untold 25 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,720 numbers of people dying suddenly, many with heart disease. 26 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:56,000 As a miraculous survivor of sudden cardiac arrest, helping people become aware of the 27 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,160 warning signs of heart issues and learning the importance of seeking immediate help, 28 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:06,360 even with the most minor of symptoms, has been of utmost importance to me. 29 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:12,760 I experienced sudden cardiac arrest in 2002, and thanks to the three Christian women who 30 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:18,200 were with me, I got immediate help, and to this day, nearly 22 years later, I'm still 31 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,040 going strong. 32 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:25,680 With the experiential realization of how fragile and brief our physical lives actually are, 33 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,680 I spend all of my working hours seeking to help people discover the same eternal, life-giving 34 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,080 truth I have been blessed to find, namely, Jesus Christ. 35 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,440 Because February is Heart Disease Awareness Month, with this week's podcast, I'm sharing 36 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:52,920 my story as told before a live audience at Mount Hermon's Conference Center in California. 37 00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:58,120 On September 16, 2002, I started to play tennis with some girlfriends. 38 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,080 For the first time, I hadn't played tennis with these ladies before, you know, and I 39 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,800 arrived feeling a little bit nervous. 40 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,640 Well, a lot nervous, okay? 41 00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:10,800 Because I really wanted to do well, I wanted them to invite me back to play with them again. 42 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,720 It was important to me that I could establish a new group of women to play tennis with. 43 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,200 Now, I also arrived feeling what seemed to be some slight indigestion, but I just chalked 44 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,000 it up to the idea that, you know, I've been eating a lot of cantaloupe, trying to get 45 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,520 those last of the summer fruits in, you know? 46 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,200 I just didn't feel quite right, but it wasn't too big. 47 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,200 It was just minor. 48 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,320 So, my friend Terry introduced me to Jill and to Debbie, two ladies I'd never met before, 49 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,280 and I joined them on the court to warm up. 50 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:48,120 And the first ball that I hit went over the fence, not the net, the fence. 51 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:53,000 The second ball I hit went into the net. 52 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,160 The third ball that I hit went over to Jill, who was warming up with Terry. 53 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,680 I was supposed to be warming up with Debbie. 54 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,780 I was mortified. 55 00:04:03,780 --> 00:04:08,840 And I realized how dreadful this was for me in terms of my tennis reputation. 56 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,760 I figured right away they would probably never again ask me to play tennis with them. 57 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,040 And at the same time I'm thinking all these thoughts, I realized I'm feeling rather short 58 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:23,520 of breath and a little lightheaded and too much for the amount of exertion that I had 59 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,520 already given. 60 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,680 So, I announced that I really couldn't play tennis, which was probably obvious at that 61 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:29,680 time. 62 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,280 And I went over to sit down to calm myself down. 63 00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:38,480 I figured I had just gotten myself terribly emotionally worked up wanting to do a good 64 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,480 job. 65 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,840 So anyway, I sat down, but I really wasn't getting any better. 66 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:45,200 So I gathered my things and I announced that I was going to go home. 67 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:50,160 And Terry followed me out toward my car, which I resisted because I thought, gosh, I'd already 68 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,160 interrupted the game. 69 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,000 And now please at least play a threesome. 70 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,960 Don't let me interrupt any further. 71 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,120 But Terry continued following me out to the car. 72 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,400 And I knew that actually they would be better off if I left anyway, considering how I'd 73 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,480 been playing. 74 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,880 So Terry then began to offer to drive me to my doctor's and I was resisting knowing I 75 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,880 have brand new insurance. 76 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,000 I don't even have a primary care physician lined up yet. 77 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,400 I wasn't really sure what to do. 78 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,120 And so I thought that I would just drive myself home and read up on what I needed to do, make 79 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,720 the phone call and take myself to the doctor. 80 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,140 But before I could actually get all the way into my car, around toward the front of my 81 00:05:25,140 --> 00:05:32,920 car at the curb where it was parked, I threw up right there in public. 82 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:33,920 I threw up. 83 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:41,160 Well, at this time, Terry offered to call 911 and I resisted instead saying, you know, 84 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,160 don't do that. 85 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,960 And so she then said, let me at least drive you to the hospital. 86 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,240 I thought, well, perhaps that makes sense at this point in time. 87 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,560 And then I went over to her beautiful red sporty car. 88 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,720 That was so immaculate inside. 89 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,160 Opened the door and started to get in. 90 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,640 Realizing I would feel a little bit confined in it, I thought, oh no. 91 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,160 I do not want to make a mess of her beautiful red little car. 92 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,480 My nausea was getting worse. 93 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,960 And so was my shortness of breath and my dizziness. 94 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,600 So was my perspiration. 95 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,960 I was rather hot and sweaty. 96 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:21,040 So I walked back over to my car where it was parked because it was in the shade. 97 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,160 And all I wanted to do was lay down on the sidewalk that was still damp. 98 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,160 It was early morning. 99 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,340 I just wanted to lie down on that cold sidewalk in the shade. 100 00:06:29,340 --> 00:06:31,240 And at this time, Terry called 911. 101 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,680 Well, by now, Jill and Debbie had come out from the courts. 102 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,720 And I could hear them saying that someone needed to call my husband. 103 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,240 And I could hear also that they were rummaging around through my purse looking for my cell 104 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,240 phone. 105 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,800 And so I laid there thinking, swell. 106 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,800 Now I don't only admit that I'm tennis impaired. 107 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:57,640 I'm also technology impaired because I have no phone numbers programmed into my cell phone. 108 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:06,040 So between breaths, and I was very short of breath, one digit at a time, I gave them my 109 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,680 husband's phone number. 110 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,680 They called my husband. 111 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,560 And of course, 911 had already been dispatched. 112 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,960 And we could hear sirens off in the distance. 113 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,400 Terry stayed on the phone with the dispatcher following his instructions to care for me 114 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,960 until they arrived. 115 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,880 And Jill and Debbie were praying for me. 116 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,600 Gratefully, I was with three Christian sisters who knew what to do first and foremost. 117 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,400 And that was to pray. 118 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,520 And it was Jill's prayer that took on the form of a song. 119 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:42,800 And Jill was singing, what a friend we have in Jesus. 120 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:49,280 What a friend we have in Jesus. 121 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:59,320 The stress of the moment was causing her to forget the rest of the song. 122 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,320 So she kept singing. 123 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:06,640 What a friend we have in Jesus. 124 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,880 Now normally I would jump in, you know I like to sing. 125 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,200 And I would help her finish the song. 126 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:18,400 But I had a refrain of my own going and it was, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord. 127 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,240 These things were intensifying with my condition. 128 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:26,840 Well, the firefighters and the paramedic arrived on the scene six minutes and 21 seconds after 129 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,200 the call was made to 911. 130 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:36,000 Immediately there was a rush of men in dark blue uniforms scurrying all about. 131 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,320 One man, Jeff Peterson, the paramedic approached me from my left side, taking my arm and strapping 132 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,320 it to something, I don't know what. 133 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,000 And he immediately began asking me all sorts of questions to get an understanding of my 134 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,280 level of consciousness and things like that. 135 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:54,240 He asked me what was the date, what was the day of week, what is your name, what is your 136 00:08:54,240 --> 00:09:02,160 age, what is your weight. 137 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:18,280 That is the only time I ever admitted my weight in public. 138 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,640 Well I heard him confirm on the phone that he needed to administer 50 cc's of lidocaine 139 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,120 and at this time my other arm was strapped to something, likely it was the EKG. 140 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,720 And I heard them state that they would need to administer an additional 50 cc's of lidocaine 141 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,720 and I've learned later that this is to try to get my heart regulated. 142 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,720 And from the moment that they arrived on the scene they began administering advanced life 143 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:40,720 support. 144 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,840 That's how serious of a condition they found me in. 145 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:49,420 Captain Glenn Seacons and Jeff Peterson were two Caucasian men who were there at the scene. 146 00:09:49,420 --> 00:09:53,800 They were to my left and Greg Brinkley and Mark Moore happened to be two African American 147 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,720 men were to my right, all of them working on me. 148 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,400 And I think it was Greg who was calling out what he saw taking place on the EKG and I'm 149 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,360 told that my condition was changing so fast, so rapidly that Captain Glenn Seacons could 150 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,820 barely write it down. 151 00:10:09,820 --> 00:10:16,040 Now for those who were medically oriented what they witnessed was a sudden cardiac arrest 152 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,760 that originated in the upper chamber of my heart. 153 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:24,680 The particular documentation progression showed a sinus ventricular tachycardia that went 154 00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:30,240 into a ventricular tachycardia that went into a ventricular fibrillation. 155 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,840 For the rest of us who don't know what in the world that means, it means that the upper 156 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,480 and the lower chambers of my heart were working very erratically, beating out of sync, it 157 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,160 wasn't normal. 158 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:46,880 And the paramedics witnessed my heart beating around 300 beats per minute. 159 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,720 For someone my size, maximum exertion if I was playing tennis on a good day would be 160 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,680 about 180 beats per minute. 161 00:10:55,680 --> 00:11:01,960 Now I've since learned that a study in New York City of 5% of the witnessed ventricular 162 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:09,600 fibrillation victims, that only 1 to 2% of cardiac arrest victims survive. 163 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:18,640 The fact that my new friends called 911 and immediately began prayer allowed the emergency 164 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:25,480 professionals to arrive on the scene and to witness the cardiac arrest and to be in place 165 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,000 to save my life. 166 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:37,680 That's why I'm able to stand here and testify to you about the goodness of God and the truth 167 00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:40,240 about life after death. 168 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,960 You see a sudden cardiac arrest is very different than a heart attack. 169 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,560 A heart attack is where the heart convulses because the vessels that supply blood or oxygen 170 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:49,560 to the heart are blocked. 171 00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:54,320 A heart attack can go into a cardiac arrest, but a sudden cardiac arrest is where the heart 172 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,440 abruptly stops. 173 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:02,120 And I've since learned that estimates range from 250,000 to 400,000 people suffer sudden 174 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:08,560 cardiac arrest each year and that it's the leading cause of death in North America. 175 00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:14,560 But with the advent of newer medications and the accessibility to defibrillators, you know 176 00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:20,400 the zappers, lives have been saved. 177 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,080 And so the term has been changed to sudden cardiac arrest. 178 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,960 Well I was still answering Jeff's questions when he asked me, are you feeling kind of 179 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:29,960 funny? 180 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:35,640 I thought what kind of a question is that to ask at a time like this? 181 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,400 Aren't you the paramedic? 182 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:43,720 I didn't know it, but what he was observing on the EKG was that my heart had stopped. 183 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,480 But I was still answering his questions and I think that's a riot. 184 00:12:48,480 --> 00:13:02,920 I'm a public speaker for goodness sakes. 185 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:08,040 But as immediately as I had the thought, what kind of a question is that, I was gone. 186 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,560 That's when I died. 187 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:14,120 And I'm told that this is the time that my body went into convulsions and flopped on 188 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:20,600 the sidewalk a lot like a fish out of water and turned tomato red for lack of oxygen. 189 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,240 Now a crowd of onlookers had gathered and the guys were really scurrying about now I'm 190 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,280 told because they had to get the zip scissors so that they could cut right down through 191 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:35,640 my clothing and get access to my chest. 192 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:40,120 A woman after my own heart. 193 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,840 Now I may have been the one to suffer the sudden cardiac arrest, but my friends Terry, 194 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,400 Jill and Debbie were the ones who were truly traumatized as they witnessed all of this 195 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,320 because you see I was no longer in my body. 196 00:13:52,320 --> 00:14:00,280 I went to a whole new dimension which was incredibly peaceful. 197 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,200 It was dark where I was, but not a frightening dark. 198 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,200 It wasn't a black dark. 199 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:09,520 It was more of a charcoal gray or warm brown dark. 200 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,760 Maybe something of what it would be like to be in the mother's womb. 201 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,800 I did see a thin horizontal white light off in the distance, but it did not beckon me. 202 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,920 And that's fine because I was perfectly content right where I was. 203 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,960 It was an incredibly peaceful place. 204 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:33,720 I loved where I was and I sensed that I was in the very center of the sovereignty of God. 205 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,600 Nothing else mattered. 206 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,080 I just knew I was in the center of God's care. 207 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,280 Now Debbie told me that she was so sensitive to the fact that they had to cut my top off 208 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:49,640 and so it became very personal and private type matter for me that she turned her back 209 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,040 to me but kept praying and I thought that was really sweet. 210 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,040 You know, can't you just imagine her doing that? 211 00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:01,800 So as her back was turned and she's hearing them still work on me, she hears somebody 212 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:06,440 yell out, Claire, because they're getting ready to get the defibrillators out. 213 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,320 And then she heard the defibrillators activating which gave off 200 joules of power. 214 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,960 The next thing that Debbie heard was someone yell, bag her. 215 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:20,960 And she's thinking, you can't do that. 216 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,960 You can't give up on her now. 217 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,960 You've hardly worked on her. 218 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,520 You can't possibly bag her now. 219 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:36,320 And she turns around and she looks and she sees an oxygen bag on my face. 220 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,280 You know she was thinking body bag. 221 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,920 And she admits to watching too many of those ER type programs. 222 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,160 My heart began beating again. 223 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,800 It responded to the very first treatment of defibrillation and I could hear my name being 224 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:57,040 called and I was so agitated that anyone would disturb me. 225 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,880 I liked where I was. 226 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,360 I did not want to be bothered. 227 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,960 I was experiencing the sovereignty of God. 228 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,600 I experienced the fact that he's omnipresent. 229 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:09,600 He's everywhere. 230 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,200 I knew I had a husband and children, but they were also in God's care. 231 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,680 They would be fine. 232 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,440 I knew that they'd grieve if I worked with them, but you know I didn't want to be bothered 233 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,760 with even thinking about all these things because I could experience the sovereignty 234 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,200 and the care and the love of God right where I was. 235 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,360 But Greg Brinkley kept calling my name. 236 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,680 Pam, Pam, are you with us? 237 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,080 Pam, Pam come back. 238 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:44,360 Pam and I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was the face of a black man knelt over 239 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:53,160 me and beyond that I saw the sky and the clouds and I thought Jesus is black. 240 00:16:53,160 --> 00:17:18,440 My vision cleared and I realized and gathered senses as to where I was. 241 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:24,560 Now we know that we are made in God's image so Jesus has every color, but I finally realized 242 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:29,480 where I was and what had happened and that these were actually the men that God used 243 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,080 to save my life. 244 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:43,680 Now about this time I also sensed that my chest was bare and realizing exactly where 245 00:17:43,680 --> 00:18:00,640 I am and that a lot of people had gathered I asked, am I naked? 246 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,680 And Greg bends down and he says, Pam if that's the worst we have to worry about it's been 247 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:14,480 a good day. 248 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:15,480 Men don't understand. 249 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:25,960 And I still didn't have confirmation so I said, am I naked? 250 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,520 Well they hurried and found something to cover me up because the last thing they want is 251 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:34,000 for a cardiac patient to get upset. 252 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,840 And then the ride to the hospital and the ambulance is what followed. 253 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,280 And the doctors were and they are amazed to this day that I suffered what I did because 254 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:48,400 my weight is not a concern, thank you very much. 255 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,440 I don't smoke. 256 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,400 There's no immediate history of heart disease in my family. 257 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,560 They found no cholesterol or electrical problems with my heart. 258 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,080 I was in the hospital for eight days. 259 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:11,600 They have no idea what specifically triggered this to happen. 260 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,840 So as a precautionary measure they fitted me with an AICD, that's an automatic cardiovascular 261 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,280 implantable device. 262 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,760 And what it is is the combination defibrillator and pacemaker so that if my heart should beat 263 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:29,320 irratically again the defibrillator will go off, if it should beat too slow the pacemaker 264 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,320 will set in. 265 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,120 And a friend of mine who is a famous person, I won't name him, but he cracked me up one 266 00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:38,960 day and said, you know if you ever see Pam raise her arms and do this, it's probably 267 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,520 because the defibrillator has gone off. 268 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:52,800 Praise the Lord. 269 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,800 And when I was in the hospital and reflecting on everything when it was still fresh, I flashed 270 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,720 on a thought, a thought just kind of coursed through my mind that said, I have no regrets. 271 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,560 And as soon as that thought registered I thought, Pam, how arrogant of you, how in the world 272 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,080 could you think something like that? 273 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:15,440 And almost as soon as I had that thought the Holy Spirit comforted me, allowing me to understand 274 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:21,280 that I have no regrets not because of how I live my life, but because of how Christ 275 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:27,960 lived his and my faith has been in Christ. 276 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:35,760 I have no regrets because Christ's sinless life was laid down for me and for you if you're 277 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,840 willing to believe and receive. 278 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,240 I have no regrets because there was a day that I resolutely and deliberately chose to 279 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,200 place my faith in Jesus Christ. 280 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:53,160 And God in his mercy and in his love forgave me of all of my sin that very moment I placed 281 00:20:53,160 --> 00:21:00,680 my faith in Christ and restored me unto himself. 282 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,120 What about you? 283 00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:12,040 Not one of us know the moment or the day our life will be taken from us. 284 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,080 Have you already entered into covenant communion with God the Father through faith in Jesus 285 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,040 Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit? 286 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:25,040 Have you deliberately and resolutely placed your faith in Jesus? 287 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,560 And if you haven't, why haven't you? 288 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:29,560 Why haven't you? 289 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:34,000 Are you thinking like so many people do that you have plenty of time? 290 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:39,800 Do you? 291 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:45,200 You don't know any more than anyone else knows when your life will come to an end and it 292 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:52,480 could be taken as suddenly as life walking across a sidewalk. 293 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,320 And this truth that our life could be taken from us that fast need not be something that 294 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:04,800 we fear because faith in Christ is what gives us assurance that we will enter covenant communion 295 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,800 with God in heaven forever. 296 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,600 My faith in Christ that was developed through all the trials and the sufferings that was 297 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:19,680 developed before my cardiac arrest allowed me to look forward to life hereafter believing 298 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,080 that it would be better. 299 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:27,120 But for having experienced what I did with the cardiac arrest, I now know and can testify 300 00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:34,760 that life definitely will be better after this. 301 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,280 Far better than we can possibly hope or dream. 302 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:46,040 Much more incredibly peaceful and loving than we can imagine. 303 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:52,000 I am now experientially convinced in the truth of the apostle Paul's statement that to live 304 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,160 is Christ and to die is gain. 305 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,480 Now when I got out of the hospital, I had to find out who these men were that saved 306 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,840 my life. 307 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,320 And when I visited them for the first time, there was a bond that we shared. 308 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:11,320 I mean we kind of stood around kind of goofy just staring at each other. 309 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,440 And Jeff, the paramedic, was very interested in wanting to figure out, you know, what did 310 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,440 the doctor say? 311 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,240 What was the diagnosis, you know, from his medical perspective? 312 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,160 And he said, I thought you had maybe suffered and he rattled off some medical term and then 313 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:31,560 he said, but I realize you're too old for that. 314 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,160 I let that one slip. 315 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:39,760 So we continued to visit and then Jeff, he said, you know, Pam, I am really sorry, but 316 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,040 I'm the one who had to cut your top off and you really didn't like that. 317 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,020 I said, no, I didn't. 318 00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:50,480 And then stepping in being very captainly, Captain Glenn Seacons says, Pam, I just want 319 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,320 to reassure you, we're professionals and under the circumstances, it really wasn't all that 320 00:23:55,320 --> 00:24:09,040 memorable. 321 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,600 I turned to my lady friend who drove me there and I said, swell, first they tell me I'm 322 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:21,440 too old, now they tell me I'm not all that memorable. 323 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,400 When it came time to leave, Captain Seacons looked at me and he said, Pam, you're coming 324 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,280 to see us, has just made our day. 325 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:35,040 I mean, they don't have that many people that are able to come back and say thank you. 326 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:41,640 But I looked at him and I said, Glenn, don't you understand that you're coming to see me 327 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,080 made the rest of my life? 328 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:51,680 God used these wonderful men and the prayers of my sisters to allow this wife and mother 329 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,520 of two to live longer on this earth. 330 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,720 Now, naturally, naturally, I take cookies or something else, anything I can think of 331 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,840 once a month over to the fire station. 332 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,640 Every month I do it for a holiday, you know, I couldn't think of anything for August, dog 333 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:06,640 days of August. 334 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:13,740 And in September, they came over along with Jill, Debbie and Terry and their husbands 335 00:25:13,740 --> 00:25:20,400 for a barbecue to celebrate my one year anniversary of the survival of my cardiac arrest, to celebrate 336 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,000 life really. 337 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,680 And you know, it only makes sense that I would be devoted to these people. 338 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,000 I mean, God used them to save my life. 339 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,960 God used them to save my physical life here on this earth. 340 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:39,660 And when you think of just that, then doesn't it make even more sense that we would be devoted 341 00:25:39,660 --> 00:25:46,600 to the one who has saved our eternal life. 342 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,200 Christ died for us. 343 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,600 The very least we can do is live for him. 344 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,320 Now, many people, including the attending physician, Dr. Campbell, have said, you know, 345 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,640 Pam, I think God was trying to tell you to slow down. 346 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,920 But considering the fact that the doctors found no reason that I suffered what I did, 347 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,600 that I have no cholesterol problems, I have no electrical problems, there's no reason 348 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,960 that they've given me, actually, they did prescribe medications, but it was strictly 349 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:14,960 precautionary. 350 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:15,960 So I am not restricted. 351 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,760 I take no medications whatsoever. 352 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,360 Considering all of that, I can't agree with that line of thought. 353 00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:27,000 I don't believe that God was telling me to slow down at all. 354 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:34,120 No, I don't believe I'm to slow down because I know now better than most just how preciously 355 00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:38,080 and precariously vulnerable our lives are. 356 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:44,280 No, I've come to understand yet another statement that the apostle Paul made, and that is, woe 357 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,760 to me if I don't preach the gospel. 358 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,240 God did not want me to slow down. 359 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:56,200 God wanted me to become more intense. 360 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:01,440 For your sakes. 361 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,960 Please understand me on this. 362 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:09,520 You can be assured of your covenant communion in Christ. 363 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,200 You can have a hope that is certain. 364 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:20,240 You can know that you will spend eternity with God, with conviction. 365 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,960 And it's as simple as you being willing to believe in and receive Jesus Christ, the Son 366 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:32,160 of God, whose life was given up as a substitute, sacrifice, to satisfy the debt of your sin 367 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,520 and mine. 368 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:39,920 You can enter into blessed covenant communion if you are willing to do so. 369 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:45,320 You see, it was by an act of the will that sin entered all of humanity. 370 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:50,360 And so it requires an act of the will that the individual can be released and forgiven 371 00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:58,720 of sin, redeemed. 372 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:03,480 I want you to learn much more about heart disease, so please allow my Bless Your Heart 373 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,480 Campaign webpage to help you do just that. 374 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:13,800 Simply visit the website known as blessyourheartcampaign.com to learn more and find links to online tests 375 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:18,040 you can take to learn of your personal propensity for heart disease and stroke. 376 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:24,520 And by all means, share my story by recommending this podcast link so we can help people everywhere 377 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,320 become aware and together we can save lives. 378 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:33,220 My testimony, as you've heard it, has been on Focus on the Family several times and I 379 00:28:33,220 --> 00:28:39,700 also shared my story live at UCI's first annual Day of Women's Health as the keynote speaker 380 00:28:39,700 --> 00:28:41,480 at that particular event. 381 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:47,440 As you heard, I found some genuine humor in the whole ordeal, but please know heart disease 382 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:53,240 is serious and we need to learn everything we can to help save physical lives while at 383 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:59,440 the same time sharing the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ to save eternal lives. 384 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:04,400 Also, if you or a loved one are physically suffering and it's believed to be the result 385 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,760 of your taking the vaccine, please make a point of going to my webpage for the complete 386 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,560 show notes. 387 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:15,280 Since early 2020, I have listed physicians who work hard to help people detoxify their 388 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,300 bodies from the adverse effects of injections. 389 00:29:18,300 --> 00:29:24,360 The extensive loss of lives and loss of health we have suffered worldwide has got to stop 390 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:29,720 and gratefully, God has revealed His plans to intervene in the affairs of humanity to 391 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,320 bring judgment and justice. 392 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:38,080 In fact, next week you will hear from my guest, Amanda Grace, about much of what God has recently 393 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,080 revealed. 394 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,240 It's been a while since I've had Amanda on and with the next two weeks' podcasts, she 395 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:48,560 will share more of what the Lord has revealed specific to Canada, the United States, and 396 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:53,400 the overwhelming immigration of people from several nations into the United States. 397 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:58,200 The corrupt shadow government is encouraging this illegal influx, which is tremendously 398 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:03,580 impacting our already stressed economy, increasing violent crimes, and stealing many rights and 399 00:30:03,580 --> 00:30:06,600 benefits that are due American citizens. 400 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:12,940 With all that's going on in the world, our only hope is God's intervention, and gratefully, 401 00:30:12,940 --> 00:30:16,800 He has promised His personal involvement. 402 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,800 Before I close, I want to again announce my efforts to see if there's enough interest 403 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,620 to book a Christian travel tour to Greece. 404 00:30:23,620 --> 00:30:27,420 So I'm asking you to let me know if you'd be interested in being part of a Faith to 405 00:30:27,420 --> 00:30:30,720 Live By Tour in Greece in 2025. 406 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,880 I've been asking my listeners and also my subscribers to my bi-monthly e-newsletter 407 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,360 to let me know where they'd like to travel. 408 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,640 And based on what I've learned and the tour guides I have access to, we could have Greece 409 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,800 as our first destination in 2025. 410 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,740 I need to use this time right now to find out if there's enough interest to actually 411 00:30:48,740 --> 00:30:49,780 book the tour. 412 00:30:49,780 --> 00:30:56,300 So if you think you'd like to be part of the Faith to Live By Tour in Greece in 2025, please 413 00:30:56,300 --> 00:31:02,660 send me an email to faithtolivebyatpamilacristianministries.com with the words Greece Tour in the subject 414 00:31:02,660 --> 00:31:07,120 line and then let me know how many people would be in your party in the body of the 415 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,120 email. 416 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,380 If the email is not a commitment or an obligation, it's just to let me know the interest to 417 00:31:12,380 --> 00:31:14,760 see if planning the trip makes sense. 418 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,620 Once we have enough people expressing interest in potentially being part of such a trip, 419 00:31:18,620 --> 00:31:22,380 then I'll get the details and I'll put the information back out there for people to actually 420 00:31:22,380 --> 00:31:23,740 sign up. 421 00:31:23,740 --> 00:31:30,020 Again, if you want me to put together a Christian tour for 2025 to Greece, send me an email 422 00:31:30,020 --> 00:31:35,160 to faithtolivebyatpamilacristianministries.com with the words Greece Tour in the subject 423 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,380 line and the number of people that you would think and the number of people you would bring 424 00:31:39,380 --> 00:31:43,180 in the body of the email if the trip becomes a reality. 425 00:31:43,180 --> 00:31:47,300 You know, I really do put my heart and soul into these podcasts wanting very much for 426 00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:52,580 you to know the truth and find the strength of faith you need in these dark days. 427 00:31:52,580 --> 00:31:57,580 And so I ask, won't you shoot me an email letting me know how this podcast impacts you? 428 00:31:57,580 --> 00:32:02,180 My email is faithtolivebyatpamilacristianministries.com. 429 00:32:02,180 --> 00:32:05,560 I truly welcome your communication. 430 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,420 If you like what you hear from me with this podcast, I highly recommend my book series, 431 00:32:09,420 --> 00:32:13,540 My Award-Winning Blog, and connecting with me on social media where I can cover many 432 00:32:13,540 --> 00:32:17,020 more topics than I can with this weekly podcast. 433 00:32:17,020 --> 00:32:21,780 And consider signing up for my online certificate course in apologetics. 434 00:32:21,780 --> 00:32:26,660 My aim with that course is to help people learn not only how to use apologetics to share 435 00:32:26,660 --> 00:32:31,580 truth with others, but help Christian leaders incorporate apologetics in their respective 436 00:32:31,580 --> 00:32:36,140 ministries so many more Christians are confident about their faith and better able to share 437 00:32:36,140 --> 00:32:37,140 it. 438 00:32:37,140 --> 00:32:39,280 Learn more using the link in the show notes. 439 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,620 Should you have a topic you want me to explore with this podcast, please simply let me know. 440 00:32:43,620 --> 00:32:48,860 Again, my email is faithtolivebyatpamilacristianministries.com. 441 00:32:48,860 --> 00:32:53,500 If this podcast blesses you, and I certainly hope it does, because you are the reason I 442 00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:57,820 work as hard as I do, would you consider partnering with me and my vision? 443 00:32:57,820 --> 00:33:01,740 You know that my whole goal is to help people discover and live in life-giving truth and 444 00:33:01,740 --> 00:33:04,820 to experience all the hope truth provides. 445 00:33:04,820 --> 00:33:08,940 You can, and I hope you do, personally share your faith with others. 446 00:33:08,940 --> 00:33:14,140 But have you thought about how many more people you could reach by partnering with me? 447 00:33:14,140 --> 00:33:18,640 Help me grow this podcast, get my books into more people's hands, and talk me up to others 448 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,580 to get me more speaking engagements, and increase this podcast audience. 449 00:33:22,580 --> 00:33:27,780 Then together, as partners, we will be making a much greater impact than we can on our own 450 00:33:27,780 --> 00:33:28,780 own. 451 00:33:28,780 --> 00:33:32,020 There are several ways you can choose to partner with me. 452 00:33:32,020 --> 00:33:36,820 Certainly telling others about me and my ministry along with prayer is the top of the list. 453 00:33:36,820 --> 00:33:41,900 There is nothing as powerful as word of mouth, endorsement, or personal referrals. 454 00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:44,420 Buying my books and products is another way. 455 00:33:44,420 --> 00:33:48,340 All of my books in my Faith to Live by series were written to help people better understand 456 00:33:48,340 --> 00:33:52,380 the Christian faith and how to successfully live it out. 457 00:33:52,380 --> 00:33:57,580 Visit my website and
