Mom Getting Abortion Decides To Keep Baby At The Last Minute After Hearing Her Heartbeat

by Christel Berns May 18, 2022

A mom getting an abortion decided to keep her baby at the last minute after she heard her daughter’s heartbeat inside her womb for the first time.

Going Through Abortion

In a post shared by Olivia Bridwell, a moment of abortion turns into a moment of blessing after a mom decides to keep her baby. Apparently, the baby was her, and it was her mom, Andrea, who chose to keep her.

“My mom went in to get an abortion when she was pregnant with me,” Olivia wrote. Then she recalled how Andrea, her mom, went to an abortion clinic and was ready to end the life inside her womb. The mom laid on the table when the nurse suddenly asked if Olivia would like to hear the baby’s heartbeat before doing the procedure. And so, she did and heard her daughter’s heartbeat for the first time. That’s when she changed her mind and thought she would just “go through with adoption.”

“If that nurse hadn’t asked my mom to hear my heartbeat, I wouldn’t be here today,” Olivia added.

Embracing Motherhood

But when her mom gave birth to her, saw her, and held her in her arms, Andrea’s life changed. At once, all the fears and insecurities she felt before her baby was born disappeared. Then she embraced motherhood and never once regretted her decision.

Today, Olivia is forever grateful to her mom for choosing life amid fear and uncertainty. Now, she is also pregnant with a baby boy and is choosing life as well.

“It’s so evident that God has knit this child -although unborn- from the very beginning,” she remarked. Then she encouraged every woman doubting if they would want to keep their baby.

WOMAN WHO WENT THROUGH 3 ABORTIONS FINDS HEALING IN GOD’S GRACE

“If you are debating whether or not to get an abortion,” the soon-to-be mom said, “know that in your darkest hour God is with you and He will sustain you. He makes beautiful and wonderful things out of ashes. And even when we can’t see a way out He is paving a way for newness and redemption. I wouldn’t have a life if my mama didn’t lay down her own. That’s what love is, laying down your life for another.”

Baby Left Unharmed In Shooting Incident, Mom Says, ‘Thank You Jesus’

by Christel Berns May 1, 2022

written by Christel Berns

In Clayton County, Ga., a shooting incident left a baby inside a car unharmed even after multiple bullets pierced through it. The mom credits Jesus for protecting her daughter.

Shooting Incident

One morning at West Fayetteville Road, Kristy and her family drove to Uber Eats in their SUV to pick up an order. And just when she was about to receive her order inside the restaurant, a sudden commotion happened. Then her husband called and urged her to get out of the store immediately. But after hearing a gunshot, she hid inside a restroom and waited for security to clear that it was safe to go out already.

When the gunshots stopped, Kristy immediately checked up on her family left in the car at the parking lot. That’s when she saw that multiple bullets had hit their SUV. There were three bullets stuck in her daughter’s side of the door, which scared her. She could only imagine that the bullets had made it to her baby girl.

“I was running to the vehicle, and I saw the shot, my daughter’s side of the door,” Kristy recalled. “And I just grabbed her. I’m looking her over. I’m checking to see if there was any blood if she was shot.”

Miracle

Thankfully, her daughter was left unharmed from the horrifying incident. Her husband was also safe.

“Instead of going straight, it went into the paneling into the back of my seat,” the mom described. “Missing her by inches and through my front seat.”

And now, Kristy is thanking God for sparing her husband and daughter’s life from the shooting incident.

“Thank you, Jesus,” she said. “I saw my daughter sleeping peacefully. She had slept through the whole thing. She is OK, she is alive. My husband is OK, and no one was injured.”

Praise Jesus!

Baby Born Lifeless Came Back To Life After 61 Minutes

by Christel Berns April 19, 2022

written by Christel Berns

Parents contended and prayed for a miracle when their baby was born lifeless and without a heartbeat. Sixty-one minutes later, he miraculously came back to life.

Baby Born Lifeless

Bonnie Engstrom felt devastated when she gave birth to her son James Fulton Engstrom 11 years ago. Apparently, the umbilical cord had choked her baby, resulting in him being born without heartbeat. And she can still recall the horror of seeing her son at that moment.

“I remember sitting on my bedroom floor and watching them do CPR,” the mother recalled.

Contending For Miracle

Bonnie immediately called for prayer warriors to pray for her baby boy. She didn’t want to give up on her son and began contending for a miracle. The family rushed the baby to the hospital 20 minutes away.

When baby James arrived at the hospital, 61 minutes had already passed. He had no heartbeat for over about an hour. Doctors didn’t think the baby would no longer survive. And even if he did, the baby would suffer from “extensive long-term damage,” according to Dr. Juanita Corrales.

“Although I want babies to survive, I want to consider the quality of life,” she said.

Miracle

Dr. Juanita was about to declare baby James’ death when his heart began to beat again.

“I was at the brink of calling it,” the doctor recalled. “But he had a heartbeat just when we were going to say he was done.”

The miracle baby James’ parents prayed for happened before their eyes. What’s more, the baby didn’t suffer from serious damage even without heartbeat for a long time.

“We would have expected a vegetative state,” she added. “And that’s not the case. I don’t use the word ‘miracle’ willy-nilly. But you can’t explain this situation. It’s a miracle.”

Today, James Fulton Engstrom is already 11-years-old, a healthy and lively little boy. The little guy who is the evidence that God is still the miracle-working God.

Thank You, Jesus!

Doctors Told Congresswoman ‘Your Baby Is Going to Die’ But God Miraculously Intervened

by Christel Berns March 9, 2022

written by Christel Berns

Doctors told Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler that her unborn baby would die due to her condition. But she heard God telling her to contend and fight for their unborn baby girl, and indeed, a miracle happened.

Unborn Baby With Potter’s Syndrome

Excited for her unborn baby girl, Abigail, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler publicly announced her pregnancy. But unfortunately, she received terrible news from doctors days later that shattered her.

“Your baby is going to die,” doctors told the expecting mom. According to their diagnosis, the unborn baby had Potter’s syndrome. It is “a rare disease characterized by a lack of amniotic fluid and kidney deficiency.”

“I remember the tech just going totally quiet,” she recalled to Faithwire. The scan showed that Abigail had no kidneys.

“[The doctors] said … ‘Your baby has no kidneys, which means there’s no amniotic fluid in there,” she said. “Which means your baby is going to die. There is no chance your baby will live. No baby has ever survived this. There is nothing to describe getting news like that.”

Turning To God, Never Giving Up

Hence, doctors advised her to have an abortion or induce the baby early. One doctor further recommended inducing so she would have time to say goodbye to her baby.

But despite the heartbreaking news, Jaime refused to give up and turned to God to determine her next steps.

WOMAN WHO HAD ABORTION MEETS JESUS & HER ABORTED DAUGHTER IN HEAVEN

“You are not getting that I do not want to be the one who ends this,” the representative thought back then. “I want this baby. I don’t want to end her life.”

So, Jaime turned to the Bible to seek guidance and wisdom. Then the next day, she received an email devotional about Jesus’ supernatural healings.

“It was five different scriptures about healing — about Jesus and how he healed people,” she recalled. “There was a little message about contending.”

A Fight For The Unborn Baby Girl

Jaime began to feel God telling her and her husband to fight for their unborn baby girl’s life. And that’s what they did exactly that despite what the doctors told them.

Soon after, the representative asked for prayers from the public.

“There is no medical solution available to us,” she wrote. “We are praying for a miracle.”

Jaime stood on God’s Word to her and claimed her miracle.

“It was just exactly what I needed. I’m a fighter anyway,” the congresswoman said. “I felt like the Lord said, ‘I’m going to give you the next step and the next step and the next step.”

Then she continued, “The Lord just really started to speak to my heart about what I was supposed to do in terms of contending for Abigail’s healing.”

“I felt like the Lord was like, ‘I’m going to give you this baby,'” she said.

Miracle Baby

It wasn’t an easy journey for Jaime and her husband. But God led them to another doctor who eventually helped them throughout the pregnancy, in keeping their baby until she was born.

Although harrowing and difficult, Jaime finally gave birth to Abigail. She recalls praying, “Jesus, save us.”

“I didn’t feel that he would [save us],” she added. “I just knew that he would.”

Today, Abigail is a healthy and happy 8-year-old little girl.

“She is a happy, healthy 8-year-old sister, she is really bright,” Jaime described. “She reads at, like, a 9th-grade level.”

Also, the grateful congresswoman advocates for families in a dire situation like she had experienced before. Her experience with her daughter Abigail inspired her. And she has a message to every parent, “Don’t give up and fight for your child.”

“We have encouraged and wanted to reach out to other families who are in these situations,” she said. “Don’t take ‘no’ for an answer.”

What a miracle-working God we serve!

Israeli Scientists Discover the Body May Have a Backup Insulin System that Could Be Used to Treat Diabetes

by Ron Cantor December 13, 2021

written by Ron Cantor

It turns out that as babies in the womb, we make insulin in our intestines, but then that function goes dormant; but Israeli scientists are hoping to find a way to reactivate it and help the millions suffering from diabetes around the world.

In a peer-reviewed research paper published in the journal Nature Medicine, Thursday, Professor Shalev Itzkovitz and his team at the Weizmann Institute of Science revealed their findings.

Itzkovitz and his research team analyzed tissue from babies in the womb and newborns (with the permission of their parents). The cells that were found to produce insulin before birth are located in the small intestine, where most food nutrient absorption occurs.

After birth, insulin is created in the pancreas. Diabetes happens when the pancreas stops producing sufficient amounts of insulin. The condition affects an estimated 500 million people worldwide. A “backup” or parallel function that produces insulin could be a game-changer in the treatment of diabetes.

“This indicates that humans may have a dormant insulin-making apparatus from before birth and that it could potentially be reactivated as needed one day,” said Itzkovitz.

A mother provides nourishment for her baby in the womb, and the insulin is usually already balanced, so why the cells are there is a bit of a mystery. “We don’t know why the cells are there but hypothesize it may be there in case the mother has gestational diabetes and isn’t balancing the fetuses’ glucose levels.”

While this is an exciting discovery, Itzkovitz said a cure for diabetes is still a long way off. “The hope now is that some kind of drugs may be used to reactivate these cells in adults. Because if diabetic people had cells in their body that could both sense glucose levels and secrete insulin according to glucose levels, this would actually cure their diabetes. It’s very far away, but we are revealing that in a different tissue, there’s a hidden molecular program that may have the ability to produce insulin.”

But what moved everyone was they found him cradled safely in his mother’s arms, who died. She shielded him through her own body, wrapping him around her, sacrificing her life for her son.

It must have been a terrifying moment for the passengers aboard. Though it’s bewildering that the baby miraculously survived despite the tragic crash, the deceased parents must have still rejoiced. Because they truly intended him to live safe and sound.

According to the report, it is still not clear why the plane crashed. But the aircraft was able to declare an emergency before it went down. In the initial investigation, the crew couldn’t find any technical issues.

“According to initial information, the airplane had all of its technical documentation up to date,” the aviation authority reported.

Martin and his two siblings will now grow up without parents. But surely, God protected them and will take care of them.

Let’s pray for the survived family members, and may God’s peace and comfort rest in their home.

This news may be heartbreaking, but the mother’s sacrificial love for her child gives us a perfect picture of Jesus sacrificing His life for us to live and not die from our sins.

What great love!

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” –John 15:13

Husband Whose Wife & Baby Died In Car Accident Praises God Despite Tragedy

by Christel Berns March 31, 2021

written by Christel Berns

A family met a horrible car accident that took the life of the wife and the baby girl. But despite the tragedy, the survived husband chooses to praise God.

Tragic Car Accident

In a post shared by Amy Powell Jones, a picture revealed a man who lifted his hands to God. Apparently, this man and his family were in a car accident on a Saturday night. Sadly, it took the life of his wife and baby girl. So, when he woke up in the hospital, everyone found it hard to tell him the truth. However, everyone was surprised by what happened.

“My understanding is he woke up this morning and already knew his wife and baby girl were gone,” Amy wrote. “Many prayers went up for God to prepare his heart for the news he would hear when he woke up BUT nobody had to tell him. He said he already knew. GOD had told him.”

Praising God Despite Losing Wife And Baby

God had told the survived husband ahead before they told him. But while lying in that hospital bed, with what just happened, he chose to praise God. He lifted his arm to praise God despite the tragedy of losing his family.

Because of what Amy had witnessed, she was greatly convicted.

“How dare I sit down when I have an opportunity to worship,” she realized. “How dare I have a pity party when things don’t go exactly as I want. What an example this man is going to be for so many.”

Woman With Terminal Cancer Healed After Seeing A Vision With Jesus In Jerusalem

Indeed, this man is a wonderful picture of an unrelenting faith and trust towards God. That despite his circumstance, amidst pain and confusion, he chooses to bless the Name of the Lord.

In the end, Amy then asked for continued prayers for this family. Let’s pray and declare God’s comfort and peace to overwhelm the whole family.

Indiana State Trooper Unexpectedly Delivers A Baby On The Side Of The Road

by Rhoda Gayle February 16, 2021

written by Rhoda Gayle

An Indiana State trooper unexpectedly delivered a baby on the side of the road after seeing a pregnant woman in labor and realizing that they couldn’t reach the hospital on time.

Indiana State Trooper

Indiana State Police (ISP) trooper Thomas Maymi was on his regular duty on an Indiana toll road when he encountered an unexpected scene! On the afternoon of January 15, trooper Maymi spotted a parked semi-trailer on the side of the road. He then saw the worried driver crossing the road running towards him.

The semi’s driver, Carl Robertson, asked trooper Maymi for help as the driver’s wife was in labor. Upon seeing the woman, Maymi knew that she was about to give birth any minute and there wasn’t enough time for them to reach the hospital. So he quickly acted on the situation to save the mother and the baby.

“It became quite clear to the trooper that there was not enough time to transport the patient to the hospital and he would be delivering the baby,” the ISP said. “Trooper Maymi proceeded to assist the woman with her contractions until LaPorte County EMS arrived on the scene. Two minutes after paramedics were on the scene, the baby was delivered. Upon delivery, mom and baby were transported to LaPorte Hospital.”

Malaki Thomas Robertson

To thank the trooper who saved their lives, Carl and his wife, Shaniqua Traywick, named their baby after trooper Maymi.

“The proud parents have named their newborn Malaki Thomas Robertson, his middle name after Trooper Thomas Maymi. Malaki tipped the scales at 6 lbs. 3 oz,” ISP added.

The Indiana State trooper humbly said that he was just at the right place at the right time when the incident happened. He then congratulated the couple on their adorable newborn son.

Missing 3-Month-Old Baby Found After 8-Hours, Family Says ‘Thank You Jesus’

by Christel Berns February 15, 2021

written by Christel Berns

A 3-month-old baby went missing on Thursday and was found after more than eight hours. The family thanks Jesus for his safe return.

Missing 3-Month-Old Baby

According to Newport News Police, Jiraiya Cherry was abducted by a new babysitter around ten in the morning on Thursday. The woman took the 3-month-old baby from an apartment complex in the 13300 block of Preakness Drive. The family’s nightmare began as several hours have passed, they still could not find the baby boy.

“THEY FOUND HIM!”

The words of 3 mo. old Jiraiya Cherry’s family when they got the call he’d been found safe.

A terrifying day … ends with tears of joy.

More on this special moment for Cherry’s family members on @13NewsNow at 11pm. #13newsnow #NewportNews pic.twitter.com/CTdXYfStNH

Prayer As A Response

However, amidst tears and desperation, the family resorted to prayer and trusted God that their baby boy would safely return.

“It’s been really stressful,” Lashawnna Hill, the grandma, said. “A lot of tears have been shed. It’s something you never want to hear that your grandson has been taken.”

But she pointed out, “Don’t give up on prayer.” And after more than eight hours, the family heard the news that the authorities finally found Jiraiya.

“They found him! They found him!” a relative shouted, after hearing the good news. “Thank you, Jesus!”

Authorities found baby Jiraiya and the police have taken one person into custody. But they have released no additional information about the suspect.

The Babysitter Suspect

According to the report, Jiraiya’s family hired the babysitter online. Then they met in-person to check her out. When Thursday came, the woman went into their home to start her first day of babysitting Jiraiya. However, when his brother went to another room to check on Jiraiya’s older sister, she took the baby boy and ran away.

At around five in the afternoon, the incident sparked an Amber Alert. Authorities found the woman who abducted Jiraiya describing the woman in her 20s with hair down to the middle of her back. She was seen driving a 4-door silver sedan with Virginia license plates.

Thankfully, God answered the Hill family’s prayers. They believed and trusted God that the baby would return safely, and God did it! This story proved that nothing is impossible with our God!
