Man suffers from a deadly widow maker heart attack during a basketball game. He clinically died until prayers poured in, and he miraculously survived. The nurse who witnessed remarked, “It’s 100 percent God.”
Survival
A year ago in July, Jeffrey Tanapu went out to play basketball with his friends. Everything went well in the game until he suddenly fell to the ground. Thankfully, Hillary Deskins, a retired nurse, was nearby. And when she arrived at the scene, the nurse saw that the patient was “clinically dead.”

Hillary performed CPR on Jeff, but it didn’t work. Soon, a friend came to help perform CPR on Jeff’s chest. But it still didn’t work on the unconscious Jeff. Finally, someone handed the nurse a defibrillator, and the patient came back to life. Soon after, Hillary and Jeff’s friends turned to prayer for his survival.
Widow Maker Heart Attack
At the hospital, doctor Greg Meriweather discovered that Jeff had suffered from widow maker heart attack. According to the cardiologist, the attack is deadly, especially if it happens outside the hospital’s walls. Because “if you don’t get high quality CPR pretty quickly after a cardiac arrest or get resuscitated,” the chances of survival go down.

Meanwhile, after hearing Jeff’s condition, his Pastor, Stephen, felt confidence from the Spirit of God rising inside him. So, he prayed fervently while on the way to the hospital, filled with hope. The pastor stood in the Word of God and prayed in the Spirit.
Then at the hospital, Pastor Stephen witnessed a miracle before his eyes. God answered his prayers as he found Jeff “conscious and alert.”
“It was like nothing had happened to him,” the pastor recounted.
Also, Jeff testified that he felt pretty good inside after the heart attack. He attested that it was really as if he didn’t go through the deadly heart attack.
“Without a doubt. He shouldn’t be here.. It’s 100 percent God,” nurse Hillary remarked.
