with two men she had just met.

While there, she was violently raped.

They plotted how to killher and that's when Margaret

began to call on the name of Jesus,

which only angered the men.

So he began to punch mein the back of my head.

It didn't matter how much he punched me,

I continued to call on Jesus' name.

in both of her lungs andone next to her heart.

- He said, "If we remove the blood clots,

"you'll die of the aneurysm.

"If we repair the aneurysm and treat you

"for the blood clots, you'lldie of the blood clots."

- [Narrator] Surgerywas risky, so instead,

Margaret was prescribed blood thinners

to avoid more clotting.

But even then, she had only

a five percent chance of survival.

- He told me that basically at any time,

she could go, so I neededto cherish all the moments

that I have with her.

The news was very scary.

We prayed, I encouraged her.

I said, "Hey, it's OK, dry your eyes.

"God's gon' bring you through this."

for a follow up visit.

They discovered the bloodclots had dissolved.

"where blood clots havedissolved that fast."

They said, "There's somethingto you we don't know."

But there's a plan, God has a plan.

- [Narrator] But the aneurysmstill threatened her life.

Over the next two years,Margaret's activities

were restricted.

She was even hospitalized 28 times.

She didn't know whether she'd live or die.

Despite it all, she andJermain continued to pray

and believe God for a miracle.

Finally, she says,during a time of prayer,

God spoke to her about her condition.

- He said, "While someissues are hereditary,

"some are connected to your heart."

He said, "Your sickness, Margaret,

"is connected to yourissues that you're having

"that's in your heart."

The Lord said, "Hey, I needyou to forgive everyone

"that's hurt you, everyonethat has rejected you."

She said, "Yes, the Lordhealed me. I'm healed."

When they returned home, they got a call

from the doctor's office.

- He said, "I don't know what happened."

He said, "But thataneurysm's no longer there."

They're like, "This does not happen."

Aneurysms don't regress,they don't shrink.

They were like, "We cannot explain this.

"So, we can only put resolved.

"This issue has been resolved.
