Saw this recent news report: I suppose you can explain this stuff away, but I’ve talked to enough people who have died and come back that I believe it. The reason I share it is that we sometimes lose sight of the power in our prayers. We need to pray more, and we need to expect to see the powerful results of our prayers.

Raised from the Dead

Is it a medical mystery or a miracle? A South Florida man
pronounced dead from a massive heart attack and then brought back to
life. His doctor says the man was raised from the dead by a simple
prayer. Seven’s Louis Aguirre has the story.

WSVN — Dr. Chauncey Crandall isn’t your usual doctor. The
world-renowned cardiologist is a man of medicine and science, but he’s
also a man of faith.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall: “If you come in with a problem into our
service, we are definitely going to treat you with conventional
medicine, but we are going to believe it too. We are going to attack it
with conventional medicine, and we are going to attack it with prayer.”

He calls himself the Christian physician because he prays with each
heart patient he sees at his Palm Beach practice. The difference, he
says, is dramatic.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall: “The reason I pray for people is because I
found, early in my trained practice, that there were miracles,
unexplained healings.”

But even his strong faith could not prepare him for what would
happen the day Jeff Markin walked into the Palm Beach Gardens emergency
room.

Jeff Markin: “I drove to the Garden’s Hospital, went in, took out my wallet and fell on the floor with a massive heart attack.”

For 40 minutes doctors and nurses in the ER tried to revive him.
When they couldn’t get his heart started again they called for Dr.
Crandall, who was doing rounds in the hospital at the time.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall: “As I entered the ER it was like a war zone. Here was this lifeless body on a stretcher.”

The doctor couldn’t do anything and could only confirm what everyone
already knew, Jeff was dead. He had gone almost an hour without a
heartbeat, and his body was starting to decompose.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall: “His face, his arms, his legs were pitch
black with death. I said, ‘Let’s just call the code, let’s end it
because there’s no life left.'”

As Dr. Crandall turned to leave, he says he got another call this time, a call from God to pray.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall: “A voice told me to turn around and pray for
that man. I looked down at the body, and I said, ‘Lord, what can I pray
for this man? He’s gone.’ All of a sudden these words came out,
‘Father, I cry out for this man’s soul, if he does not know, you raise
him from the dead.'”

Despite protests from doctors and nurses who were preparing Jeff’s
body for the morgue, doctor Crandall insisted they shock him one more
time.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall: “So that doctor came over with those paddles
and blasted that man and, all of a sudden, instantly a perfect
heartbeat came up on the monitor. The stomach started moving, the chest
started moving. This man started breathing on his own, and I said,
‘This man has been prayed for, he has been brought back from the dead
by prayer in the name of Jesus.'”

Louis Aguirre: “So where was Jeff during all of this? He believes he left his body and crossed over to the after life.”

Jeff Markin: “I was actually standing in the back of the funeral home, and I came to realize that this was my funeral.

But, in the middle of sitting alone in darkness, Jeff says a figure suddenly appeared to him.

Jeff Markin: “There was a figure that identified himself as Bob, and
he was going to make sure that everything was going to be OK. I’m
figuring that was my guardian angel. At that time, a very peaceful
feeling and very relaxed feeling came over me, and then he said he had
to go and, the next thing I know, I woke up in my daughter’s arms.”

He woke up to a second chance, one that can’t be explained by
medicine or science. As Dr. Crandall puts it, the only answer is divine
intervention.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall: “You are speaking to a scientist, a
cardiologist, someone who loves medicine. I’ve never, ever seen this.
There are always people that do not believe these events, and I will
just tell them that it did happen. It was a real story, a real life
that was restored.”

Jeff wasn’t exactly a believer before that day. He didn’t regularly
attend church or read the Bible, but this experience has made him
believe there is a higher purpose for his life.

Jeff Markin: “I feel like maybe I am supposed to be a messenger. I
want to get the right message across that miracles do happen.”

A miracle that brought him life after death.

Jeff Markin: “I’m so happy I have a second chance.”

Louis Aguirre: “Jeff says he is now attending church mainly because
he wants to figure out why he was chosen for a second chance at life.”
