MY NAME IS JOSIAH LAMB
AND I'M 12 YEARS OLD.
I GOT INTO THIS TRAGIC
JETSKI ACCIDENT.
I HEARD GOD'S VOICE AND HE
SAID PUT YOUR HAND UP,
JOSIAH.
ON THAT FOURTH OF JULY
WEEKEND, THEY WERE HAVING A
GREAT TIME.
HE AND MY SON-IN-LAW WERE ON
THE JETSKI TOGETHER.
AND I WAS DRIVING IT, SO I
WAS IN THE FRONT.
I JUST STARTED GUNNING IT,
LIKE I WAS GOING TO WHIP IT
AND SPIN.
THERE WAS THIS BLUE BOAT
LINE, WHERE YOU TIE YOUR
BOAT UP TO.
AND WE WERE GOING BACK AND
WE JUST WENT STRAIGHT INTO
IT.
I WAS UPSTAIRS IN THE
HOUSE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I
JUST HEAR A LOT OF
COMMOTION.
A FEW SECONDS BEFORE WE
HIT IT, LIKE THE SKY JUST
LIT UP, AND THE TIME JUST
FROZE.
IT WAS AMAZING.
AND THIS SKY JUST LIT UP
WITH ANGELS.
THE ANGELS WERE NOT NO CUPID
LITTLE ATHLETES ANGELS WITH
BOW AND ARROWS.
THEY HAD FLAMING SWORDS.
THEY WERE HUMONGOUS.
THEY WERE LIKE SOME BRUTE
STRENGTH GUYS.
I HEARD GOD'S VOICE, AND HE
SAID PUT YOUR HAND UP,
JOSIAH.
I SEE MY SON-IN-LAW
LIFTING MY SON OUT OF THE
WATER.
AND HE WAS JUST VERY LIMP.
YOU COULD TELL IT WAS
SERIOUS.
MY HUSBAND WAS OVER THERE AT
THAT POINT, AND HE JUST HAD
JOSIAH, YOU KNOW, WITH HIS
HEAD ON HIS LAP.
HIS NECK WAS TORN OPEN, AND
YOU COULD TELL IT WAS REALLY
DEEP, AND THERE WERE BUBBLES
COMING OUT, AND YOU COULD
HEAR THE AIR, AND THERE WAS
BLOOD.
IT WAS JUST REALLY, REALLY
SCARY RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT.
AND MY HUSBAND WAS JUST
REAS REASSURING HIM THE
WHOLE TIME.
HE SAID, JOSIAH, DON'T
WORRY ABOUT IT.
EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.
IT WAS VERY CHAOTIC, AND FOR
HIM TO SPEAK THAT PEACE AT
THAT MOMENT WAS JUST REALLY
NIGHT.
THEY HAD TO PUT HIM IN,
YOU KNOW, A COMA FOR 24
HOURS UNTIL THE SWELLING
CAME DOWN.
BECAUSE IF THEY DIDN'T, HIS
AIRWAY WAS SHOT.
I BROKE TWO FEMURS.
THIS IS ALL SCAR TISSUE.
JOSIAH HAD LIFTED HIS
HAND AT THE LAST SECOND, AND
IF HE WOULDN'T HAVE LIFTED
HIS HAND, IT WOULD HAVE GONE
RIGHT INTO HIS NECK AND IT
WOULD HAVE DECAPITATED HIM.
EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS CUT
OPEN, AND I BROKE A COUPLE
OF FINGERS, I'M HAPPY THAT
I'M STILL ALIVE.
WELL, FOR THE FIRST FOUR
DAYS AND THE HOSPITAL, HE
COULDN'T SPEAK.
WHEN THEY CAME IN ONE
DAY, MY MOM WAS WITH ME, AND
I WAS LIKE, MOM.
AND SHE WAS LIKE, YOU CAN
TALK NOW.
AND I'M LIKE, YEAH, HEY, I
SAW ANGELS.
AND I KNEW RIGHT THEN
WHEN HE SAID THAT, HE
STARTED TELLING ME HE HEARD
GOD'S VOICE.
WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT, I WAS
JUST, LIKE, WOW.
GOD WAS THERE.
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I
HAD EVER HEARD GOD'S VOICE.
THAT SAVED MY LIFE.
WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE
HOSPITAL, I MEAN, I WAS JUST
TELLING EVERYBODY MY STORY.
FROM THAT MOMENT ON, PEOPLE
WANTED ME TO PRAY FOR THEM.
HE WOULD JUST LAY HANDS
ON THE KIDS, AND HE WAS VERY
BOLD IN HIS PRAYER.
AND HE WAS SPEAKING THINGS
THAT GOD WAS SHOWING HIM.
THERE WAS A MISSION TRIP
COMING UP TO BALTIMORE, AND
I GO.
I SAW THIS GUY IN A
WHEELCHAIR, AND HE WAS JUST
WHEELING BY IN HIS
WHEELCHAIR.
AND HE WAS HOMELESS.
I WALKED OVER TO HIM, AND I
WAS LIKE, WE HAVE TO PRAY
FOR HIM.
SO I WALKED OVER TO HIM, AND
I JUST STARTED PRAYING.
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME HE
COULD MOVE HIS LEGS.
I MEAN, THAT'S COOL, I LIKE
THAT, BUT CAN WE MAKE HIM
WALK.
LET'S JUST MAKE HIM WALK.
THE THIRD TIME I PRAYED FOR
HIM, HE GOT OUT OF THE CHAIR
AND HE COULD WALK.
I WAS LIKE, OH!
AND MY HUSBAND EVEN WENT
TO THE YOUTH PASTOR AND
SAID, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON.
AND HE SAID, PEOPLE ARE
GETTING HEALED, WHEN HE GOES
UP THERE AND PRAYS FOR
PEOPLE, PEOPLE ARE GETTING
TOUCHED AND MOVED ON BY
GOD.
AND HE SAID, THIS IS REAL.
BEFORE I GOT INTO THE
JETSKI ACCIDENT, I KNEW
THERE WAS A GOD UP THERE.
I THOUGHT GOD WAS LIKE A
JUDGE.
YOU'RE DONE, GO TO HELL.
THAT'S ALL I THOUGHT GOD
WAS.
AND HE WASN'T THAT VERY
NICE.
HE IS MORE THAN THAT.
GOD LOVES ME SO MUCH, AND HE
DOESN'T WANT HIS CHILDREN TO
DIE, SO HE CAME DOWN AND HE
SAVED ME.
IT'S BEEN REALLY COOL, AS
HIS MOM, TO SEE THAT, YOU
KNOW, GOD CAME OFF THE PAGES
OF THE BIBLE AND BECAME
REALLY REAL IN HIS LIFE.
AND IS INTERACTIVE.
