Hope & Faith

After a near-death experience, a young child revealed to his parents that Jesus held him during the frightening moments. 

Courtney McKee, Max’s mother, said her child told her that while in a swimming pool, and after nearly drowning, he was not afraid. Christ was with him at that moment. 

“He looked at us one day, and he said, ‘When I was in that pool, I wasn’t scared.’ And we were like, ‘That’s great, buddy.’ And he said, ‘When I was in the bottom of that pool, Jesus held me.’”

It’s only natural that, after becoming a parent, fears, worries and anxieties would increase considerably. Parents want nothing but the best for their children. But the world is a sad, dangerous and terrifying place.

However, in July 2019, for Brandon and Courtney McKee, their worst possible fears became a frightening reality. Brandon and Courtney had dropped off their two boys – Brody and 2-year-old Max – at Courtney’s mother’s house for a few days. But the next day, Courtney received a call no parent ever wants to receive. 

Max was at the bottom of his grandmother’s swimming pool. The 2-year-old was not responsive after being removed. After emergency medical responders were called and while CRP was performed on the child, Brody reached out to someone else for help.

“The only thing I could do was pray,” Brody said. “So, I dropped on my knees and I said, ‘God, can you help my little brother? Can you just save him? Can you put your guardian angels around him, Lord?’”

As the video posted on YouTube mentions, Max was revived and quickly transported to a nearby hospital. The next 24 hours were going to be crucial for Max. 

“He was having a hard time breathing and every minutes matter when our brain lacks oxygen,” said Dr. Marvin Mata. “It can have some profound effects. It can cause memory issues. It can cause learning disabilities. And the most worrisome would be brain death.”

Brandon and Courtney did the only thing they could do at that point: pray. But they weren’t the only people who reached out to the Lord on behalf of Max.

“Our pastor came, tons of friends who are prayer warriors came and they just surrounded his bed and we grabbed hands and we prayed,” Courtney said. “We just brought down the power of the Lord that day.”

Courtney and Brandon did not have to wait long for their answer to all those prayers.

“The next morning, Max showed signs that he was Max again,” Courtney said. “And I knew immediately there was no neurological deficits and Max was going to be OK.”

In the days following the traumatic, near-death situation, Max told his parents that Christ was with him and held him while he was in the swimming pool. Max even described his hands and feet.

“He had bobos and scratches on his hands and feet,” Max said. 

The young man is 100 percent clear on what happened to him in the pool that day.

“I’m Max and I’m a miracle,” he said. 

Luke 18:27 “The he said, ‘The things which are impossible with men, are possible with God.”’

Morning Prayer with Intercessor Annette

One young woman used her high school graduation ceremony to speak about her faith in and relationship with Jesus Christ and her speech has since gotten a lot of attention.

People have an intense fear of public speaking. Addressing a crowd of one’s peers can be daunting. Figuring out what to say and how to adequately express those thoughts are worries of someone preparing a speech. However, how the speech will be received causes the most anxiety. 

Now, include speaking about Jesus to a group of high school students to the mix and those worries and anxiety will increase considerably. But that didn’t stop Lydia Owens from talking about her personal Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in her valedictorian speech, according to Fox Carolina News. 

Lydia Owens, as a high school student, lost her mother. Lydia, in her moving speech, explained how her mother’s death completely changed her outlook. 

“I had that reality check almost two years ago when my mom passed away,” Lydia said. “When tragedy struck my life, it was not my grades nor my accomplishments that helped me navigate through that loss. When everything else in my life felt uncertain, the only person that I could depend on to stay the same was Jesus.”

Lydia, in her speech to her classmates, also touched upon success. She mentioned worrying about career advancement and fulfilling other aspirations is unnecessary when one knows Jesus Christ.

“You don’t have to worry about whether or not you’ll be successful because God promises that His Grace is sufficient for us and that His power is made perfect in our weaknesses,” she said. 

And how was her speech about her faith, Jesus Christ and redefining success received by her classmates? She received a thunderous round of applause from the room.

“I was like, ‘Ok, like, this, this is the moment that God wanted,” Lydia said. 

Lydia also added that her late mother influenced her life and faith. She mentioned that her mom showed her what it meant to be a woman of God.

Ephesians 4:29 “Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to who give ear.”

Upon hearing that his grandchild had gotten into medical school, a grandfather was overcome with emotion.

Grandparents are one of God’s many blessings in life. They are a spring of knowledge, wisdom and love, adding to the lives of those around them. Most grandparents also have the urge to constantly spoil their grandchildren, showering them with toys, candy and money. You’re not likely to hear any grandchildren complaining about this kind of treatment.

However, this time it was the grandchild who returned the favor, treating her grandfather to a bit of good news. A video posted to YouTube shows a grandfather’s sincere, moving and touching reaction after learning that his granddaughter had gotten into medical school. 

The video shows the elderly gentleman sitting in bed as his granddaughter kneels beside him in order to surprise him with her big news.

“I have really big news for you,” she tells him. “I got into medical school.”

The woman’s grandfather is instantly overcome with emotion after her big announcement. He also praises the Lord for giving his grandchild the opportunity to further her education and career in the medical field.

“Thank you, God,” He responds. “I’m happy to hear that. You are our legacy.”

Later in the video, the young lady explains how she and her family wanted to surprise him with the news. They waited a few days after she learned she had been admitted so they could tell him in person. 

Her grandfather remains overjoyed by the news, the young woman reports.

“But he was over the moon,” she said. “He still calls me about it, like, every single day.”

Most grandparents are extraordinary and loving people who want nothing more than to see their grandchildren succeed and experience happiness in life.

Best of luck to this young woman as she begins her medical career journey!

Check out this video of Christian music artist Lauren Daigle sharing how she wants to bring hope through her music.

“Singer-songwriter Lauren Daigle said she struggled to talk about hope during a concert that turned into a prayer vigil after a fatal school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, where she lives,” reads the caption of the YouTube video. “But the Grammy-winning artist wants people to find hope and a conviction to make the world a better place through her music.”

Lauren Daigle has such fond memories of New Orleans from her childhood, and she shares a little about them at the start of this video.

“I love New Orleans to the core. Being raised in that environment, I was always hearing brass instruments, I was always hearing jazz intonations with vocalists. And people on the streets can sing like Grammy award-winning singers, it’s wild. I feel like paying homage to that and paying homage to what really fueled me as a child. I remember going to New Orleans and thinkin, ‘This is the place of dreams.’”

Then Lauren Daigle touches on a prayer vigil that happened at one of her recent concerts and her feelings around that time.

“That night at the prayer vigil, it was actually really hard for me to talk about hope. I feel like this shook me pretty deep,” she says, talking about the recent school shooting in Nashville. “People always say, ‘What is the legacy? What is the purpose of doing what you do?’ And I say, hands down, ‘To give hope to the world.’

The video ends with Lauren sharing about how we need to make the world a better place through our actions. “We’ve got to live out these words that we’re preaching. We’ve got to stand with this conviction and know at the end of the day, how are we going to unify? 

How are we going to stand together on things? How are we going to stop the chaos that’s all around? What are the things that we’re going to do that are actually going to improve the world?”

I pray that this message encourages someone. Whatever you are going through, just remember that the spirit of the Lord is with you at all times.

Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. Jeremiah 33:6 .....

I am providing you with a mini testimony just to let you know that all things are possible. Keep the faith and hold on.

Two very recognizable people mentioned how much prayer means to them in a video posted to social media.

Hollywood is not a place or an industry where people often discuss religion or share their faith in Jesus Christ. Instead, normally those in the spotlight – actors, actresses and singers – avoid the topics of religion, faith and Jesus Christ altogether. 

However, Hollywood actor and A-lister Mark Wahlberg has never been a person to shy away from his faith. He has continually made comments about how big a role faith plays in his life and how he spends time each day in prayer.

In a video posted on Mark’s Instagram page, the “Transformers” star is joined by fellow actor, Mario Lopez. In the short clip, Mark and Mario walk in the frame and stand in front of a giant and beautifully decorated cross.

Mark says that he and Mario, “his brother in Christ” and “brother in life,” are about to go to church so that they can stay “prayed up.” Later, Mario says they’ve “got to build the spiritual muscles.”

The video, which is only a few seconds long, ends with Mark looking at the camera and informing his followers to “stay prayed up.” He also adds, “God bless you,” as they both walk out of the frame. 

So far, the video, which was posted on April 23, has been liked more than 600,000 times. 

It is refreshing to see someone who is so visible and recognizable as Mark Wahlberg, who has been nominated for two Academy Awards, be so open and honest about his faith. 

Despite many in his industry doing otherwise, Mark has always taken the other route. He routinely shares his belief in God and in the power of prayer during interviews. 

Philippians 4:6 “In nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

England 2022 Commonwealth Opening Ceremony Featuring Baal Worship#Cerimonia di apertura del Commonwealth in Inghilterra 2022 con adorazione di Baal

One very recognizable person is praising the Lord after battling and surviving cancer.

Cancer is a scary and frightening word. Receiving a cancer diagnosis from a trusted medical professional is enough to send even the most steadfast and stoic person reeling. Not only will it rock the patient’s entire world, but such a diagnosis will also rattle the lives of family and friends. 

Earlier this year, entertainment reporter and former Dancing with the Stars contestant Maria Menounos learned that she had Stage 2 pancreatic cancer, according to a clip posted on YouTube. This diagnosis came after she previously had a benign tumor on her brain removed. 

In the interview on Today, Maria sat down with Hoda Kotb for an emotional conversation about her frightening health journey. Hoda also mentioned an interview Maria did with People magazine in which Maria says, “God granted me a miracle.”

In her conversation with Hoda, Maria went into great detail about how she eventually learned she had pancreatic cancer, her and her husband’s tearful reactions and how she began questioning God.

Thankfully, despite her scary diagnosis in January, Maria is now cancer free! She is now praising the Lord for his work, claiming she is the recipient of several miracles. 

“I feel so blessed and so grateful because I’ve been given so many miracles,” Maria said. Like, I’m so, so blessed.”

Following her bout with cancer, Maria stated that God has given her a new mission in life.

“And so my mission is to help people listen to their bodies and learn how to listen to their bodies,” she said. “And I’m so grateful that God shifted me into this health space with my show and with everything that I do now.”

At the end of the interview, Maria, who has gone through a series of health issues, stated that she is thankful and grateful for what she has been through. She praised God for using her and her experiences so that she may benefit others. 

“I’m grateful that I’m in this position,” she said. “I know God made all this happen for me to be able to help other people.”

What a wonderful and awesome testimony!

Psalm 77:14 “You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.”

A loving and devoted teacher was repaid for all her effort and received the surprise of a lifetime.

Teaching is a noble profession. For the most part, it is made up of dedicated educators who give of themselves, selflessly pouring their time and talent into the next generation. Teachers play a huge role in millions of young lives every single day. 

Lori Anne Travers, a kindergarten teacher, is one of those dedicated educators. She loves her job and the children she has the honor of educating. She confessed she would go to great lengths for her students. 

“Teaching is a dream job for me,” Lori Anne said in a video posted to YouTube. “I would go through fire for these children. They mean absolutely everything to me.”

Lori Anne goes the extra mile for her children. However, before teaching, Lori Anne dreamt of performing on Broadway, wowing crowds with her talent for the arts.

Now, she uses her love of the performing arts to help her teach the students. But little did she know that she was going to get a chance to perform on Broadway after all.

A Broadway actor, one of the stars of the hit musical Aladdin informed her that she was going to be on Broadway. Lori Anne would be on stage, taking part in a real, live production. 

The look on the dedicated teacher’s face, when she was informed about her upcoming Broadway debut, was one of stunned silence. She was momentarily rendered speechless! 

But later in the clip, after rehearsing with the musical's stars, getting her costume and undergoing makeup, she stepped out onto the stage!

This teacher lived a dream! What an awesome way to give back to someone who is so dedicated to her students.

Luke 6:40 “A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone, when he is fully trained, will be like his teacher.”
