- Clay Bentley believesthe Lord saved his life

so that he could tell a story of hope,

redemption, and faith.

And there is some irony here,

considering where he believeshe contracted the disease.

- I never thought itwas gonna take me out.

- [Eric] Looking back,59-year-old Clay Bentley says

he's pretty sure how he got sick.

(church choir singing)

- March the first of this year

I was singing in a choir.

That's where I got it.

That's where I contractedit at, is in church.

There were at least 45 to50 people in that church,

in that one meeting thatcaught the Coronavirus.

There's already beenat least two pass away.

- [Eric] Clay says hoursafter that Sunday service

he started having shortness of breath.

Monday he went from urgent care

straight to the emergency room.

Doctors initially diagnosedhim with walking pneumonia,

gave him an antibiotic, and sent him home.

By Friday, things were worse,

so Clay returned to the hospital

and was admitted with double pneumonia.

That day doctors gavehim a Coronavirus test

that came back positive.

As the fluid in his lungs increased,

reports didn't sound good.

- The doctors came in and said,

you're not getting better.

As a matter of fact,you're in worse shape today

than you were when youcame in the hospital.

I hear the spirit of Godtelling me that the same time

no, you're getting better,you're getting better.

- [Eric] He chose tobelieve the Lord's report

and so did his wife.

- I was saying out loudconstantly verses and word

and music and thingsthat were the word of God

coming up for his life.

For his life, from my standing,

he is not giving us the spirit of fear,

but of power, of love, and of sound mind.

- Yes!

- [Eric] Then Claysays, something happened

around three o'clock in the morning.

- I felt the Lord, I felt his presence.

I felt him blow breath into my lungs

and I took a deep breath.

And I knew it was theLord blowing in my lungs.

And when he blew in mylungs I took a deep breath

and it's like it all cleared out.

So they checked me and they said,

wait a minute, we came in here yesterday

and you was in worseshape than you've been

since you've been in the hospital,

and we come in here this morning

and you ain't got hardly nofluid in your lungs at all.

- [Eric] Two days later hewas released and sent home.

- Jesus is still in the healing business.

His word in your mouthwill move mountains.

- Here's an interesting detail,

Clay's wife lost her mother on March 17th

and the enemy tried to tell her

that she would lose herhusband on that same day.

But on that day, March 17th,

Clay came home from the hospital.
