WHAT'S YOUR EMERGENCY?
THERE HAS BEEN A REALLY
SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT.
WE HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS UPSIDE
DOWN AND ON FIRE.
THESE PEOPLE ARE TRAPPED AND WE
NEED THE JAWS OF LIFE.
WE NEED HELP NOW.
FOUR LIVES INTERSECTED THAT
DAY.
SHERRY AND CODY CLEMMONS, LISA
AND ANTHONY ALL MET IN THE MIDST
OF TRAGEDY.
BUT ALL SAY THEY HAD A
SUPERNATURAL ENCOUNTER ON THAT
RAIN-SLICKED ROAD THAT CHANGED
THEIR LIVES FOREVER.
I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM
WORK.
IT HAD BEEN RAINING ALL THAT
DAY.
I JUST LOST CONTROL.
LISA'S SUV SLID INTO THE PATH
OF ANTHONY'S ON COMING CAR.
I REMEMBER SEEING THE CAR
COME THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD AND
THAT'S IT.
I BLACKED OUT.
WAKING UP.
THE IMPACT FLIPPED LISA'S SUV
MULTIPLE TIMES, CRUSHING
ANTHONY'ANTHONY'S CAR.
BOTH DRIVERS WERE TRAPPED.
MY FEET WERE ON FIRE.
THE CAR WAS FILLING UP WITH
SMOKE.
THERE WAS FIRE COMING IN
THROUGH MY LEFT DOOR, AND IT HAD
BURNED MY ARM.
DIDN'T FEEL NO PAIN OR ANYTHING
LIKE THAT, BUT I KNEW I WASN'T
GOING TO DIE THAT WAY.
THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STUCK IN
MY CHEST, COULDN'T MOVE.
ANTHONY BLACKED OUT A SECOND
TIME.
LISA BEGAN TO PRAY.
I REMEMBER SAYING GOD HELP
ME, AND IT SEEMED LIKE WHEN I
HAD THAT PEACE COME OVER ME THAT
EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE OKAY
IS WHEN SHERRY SHOWED UP.
SHERRY AND CODY SAW THE
WRECKED VEHICLES AND RACED TO
HELP.
SHERRY CALLED 911.
THEN SHE CRIED OUT TO GOD FOR A
MIRACLE.
I COULD JUST FEEL THE GIFT OF
FAITH STIRRING INSIDE OF MY
CHEST, THAT NOBODY IS GOING TO
DIE HERE TODAY.
NOBODY.
I'M NOT GOING TO WATCH ANYBODY
DIE.
GOD IS GOING TO SHOW UP.
THE COUPLE RAN OVER TO LISA'S
RETURNING SUV.
CODY CLIMBED INSIDE TO TRY TO
PULL LISA FROM THE GROWING
FLAMES.
GOD GAVE ME THE COURAGE TO GO
IN THERE.
I TOLD HIM RIGHT THERE I WAS
SCARED.
I DIDN'T WANT TO DIE.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BURN UP.
THE NEXT THING I KNOW I'M IN THE
CAR.
I WAS UPSIDE DOWN AND THE
SEATBELT -- I KEPT TRYING TO
RELEASE IT, BUT IT WOULDN'T
RELEASE.
I HANDED HER THE KNIFE AND
SHE CUT THE SEATBELT.
SHE FELL TO THE ROOF.
THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENED WAS
THAT BOTH HER AND I REALIZED
THAT SHE WASN'T COMING OUT OF
THE VEHICLE.
THE ROOF HAD BEEN CRUSHED AND
THERE WAS NOT MUCH ROOM,
MAYBE -- MAYBE LESS THAN EIGHT
INCHES OR -- FOR HER TO GET
THROUGH.
IN A SPLIT SECOND, THE
IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION TURNED INTO
A DIVINE RESCUE.
WHEN I REACHED OUT, WE
GRABBED EACH OTHER'S HANDS,
THERE WAS ANOTHER SET OF HANDS
THAT GRABBED OUR HANDS.
AS I SAW CODY'S HANDS, I SAW
A SET OF JUST WHITE HANDS AROUND
HIS.
AS HE STARTED PULLING ME
THROUGH, IT WAS JUST A BURST OF
WHITE LIGHT.
BEFORE I KNEW IT, WE WERE
BOTH OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE.
SHERRY, WHO HAD BEEN STANDING
NEXT TO THE SUV, WITNESSED THE
WHOLE THING.
GOD SENT AN ANGEL TO PULL
LISA OUT OF THAT CAR.
AND I SAW THIS BRIGHT, WHITE
LIGHT, AND THEN I SAW THESE
HANDS REACH PAST ME, WHERE THERE
WAS NO ROOM, AND THEY GRABBED
AHOLD OF CODY'S HANDS AND LISA'S
HANDS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WAS
LIKE, CODY AND LISA WERE ON THE
GRASS NEXT TO ME.
IT COULD ONLY BE GOD'S ANGELS
PULLING ME THROUGH THERE.
BUT THE WORST WAS FAR FROM
OVER.
A FEW FEET AWAY, ANTHONY LAY
UNCONSCIOUS, WITH NO WAY TO
ESCAPE THE FIRE CONSUMING HIS
CAR.
THERE WAS THIS HUGE EXPLOSION
AND THE FLAMES JUST COMPLETELY
ROLLED OVER THE CAR AND OVER AN
ANTHONY, JUST CONSUMED IT IN THE
BLACK, ROLLING FLAMES.
AND I JUST SCREAMED.
I SAID, GOD, SEND YOUR ANGELS
NOW.
AT THAT MOMENT ANOTHER EYE
WITNESS SAW A SECOND MIRACLE
UNFOLD.
I WAS JUST CRYING OUT, GOD,
YOU'VE GOT TO HELP THIS MAN,
YOU'VE GOT TO HELP THIS MAN.
HE SEEMED TO JUST EMERGE THROUGH
THE DOOR AND HE JUST KIND OF
FLOATED OUT ON THE GROUND.
SO I BELIEVE THAT GOD SENT
SUPERNATURAL ANGELS HERE TO HELP
HIM GET OUT OF THAT VEHICLE.
EVEN THOUGH ANTHONY LOST
CONSCIOUSNESS DURING THE
ACCIDENT, HE SAYS THERE'S NO
DOUBT WHO RESCUED HIM FROM THE
FIERY CRASH.
IT WAS DEFINITELY GOD.
DEFINITELY.
I FEEL LIKE IT WAS A MIRACLE.
I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THE LORD
SENT AN ANGEL AND REMOVED LISA
FROM THE CAR, BECAUSE SHE WAS
NOT GOING TO COME OUT OF THAT
CAR.
AND HE ALSO SENT AN ANGEL AND
PULLED ANTHONY OUT OF HIS CAR,
BECAUSE HE WAS NOT COMING OUT OF
THAT CAR EITHER.
SOON AFTER, FIREFIGHTERS
ARRIVED TO DOUSE THE FLAMES.
GOD HAD ALREADY PULLED
EVERYBODY OUT OF THE VEHICLES
AND EVERYBODY WAS ON THE GROUND,
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE LOOK OVER
AND EVERYBODY LOOKS AND HERE'S
THIS HUGE RAINBOW, JUST
COMPLETELY ENCOMPASSING THE
ENTIRE SCENE.
LISA AND ANTHONY WERE TAKEN
TO THE HOSPITAL WITH SERIOUS
INJURIES, INCLUDING BROKEN BONES
AND SEVERE BURNS.
I WENT THROUGH EIGHT MONTHS
OF REHAB AND I'M ABLE TO WALK.
RECOVERY HAS BEEN GREAT.
MY BURNS HAVE HEALED WITH NO
PROBLEMS, NO SKIN GRAFTS.
THAT WAS ANOTHER MIRACLE THAT
HAPPENED.
IT TOOK ME -- TOOK OVER A
YEAR, I WAS GOING BETWEEN A
WALKER AND CRUTCHES AND THEN
FROM CRUTCHES AND A CAIN.
CAIN --
CANE.
I FEEL GOOD TO BE WALKING WITH A
CANE.
SIX YEARS LATER, THE MIRACLE
REMAINS ETCHED IN THEIR MINDS, A
DAY THAT PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED,
LIVES WERE SAVED AND GOD
ORCHESTRATED A HEROIC RESCUE.
I THINK IT'S HIS MERCY, BEING
COVERED AND PROTECTED IN THE
BLOOD OF JESUS, YOU KNOW.
AND THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.
THE ANGEL OF DEATH OR WHATEVER,
IT PASSED OVER.
HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY RIGHT.
HE HAD NO AUTHORITY TO TAKE
ANYBODY'S LIFE THAT DAY BECAUSE
JESUS WAS THERE AND HE PULLED
THEM OUT.
GOD ANSWERS THE FERVENT,
HEARTFELT CRY, OUR FERVENT,
HEARTFELT PRAYERS, GOD ANSWERS
THOSE, AND HE DELIVERS US.
