>> Hi, I'm Pastor Mark Wallace,
and an angel appeared in my hospital room
for three nights in a row and preached to me.
I'll tell you about this story.
It's amazing how God shows up in the greatest point of your need.
I was sick with COVID in April of 2020.
It was brand new, nobody knew very much about it,
it had just swept the nation. And on April the ninth,
I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance,
and when I got there, the doctor immediately took me in to ICU
and said to my wife, We have to intubate him.
And my wife, speaking to him on the phone
because she couldn't be there at the time,
of course, there was no one allowed in or out,
and she said to him, Well, why?
Why do we have to put him on the vent?
I mean, you know, is there any other alternative?
And the doctor said, no, he has a little bit of a chance.
He has no chance if he doesn't go on the vent.
But if he goes on, he has a slim chance.
But slim is better than none.
COVID ravaged my body, and for the next ten days,
I was put into a medically induced coma on the ventilator.
The statistics were staggering. 89% of the people at that time
that went on the ventilator never came off.
And of those that did come off, only 1% ever made it home.
Well, you're looking at a 1% because God showed up.
Everything had shut down in my body.
My kidneys had shut down. My liver had shut down.
My lungs were shut down and my heart was beating
and racing so fast
that the doctors told my wife on April the 17th
that there was no hope, I was going to die.
I was absolutely not going to make it.
And so I'm laying there in the hospital bed,
my wife took that information and she said,
I know God wants to heal him.
I know this is not my husband's time to go.
She had a word from God
and that word was found in 2 Timothy 4:17 that said,
The Lord stood with me and ministered to me,
that by me the preaching might be fully known to the Gentiles,
how I was delivered from certain death.
My wife hung on to that word, and when the doctors told her
there was no hope whatsoever for me,
she said these words:
Just tell me what has to happen for him
to come off of the ventilator.
At that point, my doctor began to tell her
this would have to happen, and this, and this and this.
My wife got off the phone, spoke to my family,
and then put it out on social media,
the need and with the hashtag "swords up, it's time to pray".
And intercessors all over the world began to pray for me.
And it was amazing turnaround.
Three days later, I came out of the coma,
and then when I came out of the coma,
I was laying there in my bed, still strapped down
because you got to understand, they, they restrained my arms
because had I reached up in my subconscious
and tried to pull the vent tube out,
then I would have certainly died.
So they restrained my arms, they restrained my feet.
But I'm laying there in the hospital,
waking up and realizing that I am restrained,
I can't speak, I'm literally naked except a loincloth
because my temperature had grown so strong and so high
that they had to pack me in ice to try to keep it down.
Here I am, alone, scared, couldn't speak,
couldn't communicate, in excruciating pain
with a tube down my chest and in through my vocal cords.
I couldn't speak,
it was literally a machine keeping me alive.
And suddenly, in the middle of the night,
an angel came into the room.
Now, at the time I'm sitting there,
I don't realize that this is an angel
because I never saw the angel. All I could do was hear him.
And it echoed throughout my room,
it was this booming voice.
It was like the scripture says, the voice of many waters.
I felt like my whole room was shaking under his voice.
And I thought, I reasoned in my own mind,
that maybe it was someone from the next room.
Maybe there was a doctor that was there that was talking,
but he was yelling at the top of his lungs.
I couldn't communicate when the nurses came in to check on me.
I wondered why they couldn't hear this.
I was hearing into the realm of the spirit
and the angel began to preach.
And he began to declare words of faith
and say faith is the substance of things hoped for.
Speak to your mountain and cause it to be removed
and it will be cast into the sea.
He said, You will live and not die, with long life
I will satisfy you.
And over and over, these words just kept coming over me.
Someone had seen a vision of an angel in my room
and said that the words that were coming out of his mouth
when he was preaching was coming out of his mouth
and it was like a laser pen that was etching into the walls
and all over the floor the words that were being spoken.
That person had no idea that I was on the ventilator
and that I was as ill as I was.
An Angel came and turned it around.
And I'll tell you what, God will do
whatever he needs to do to protect your destiny.
He will speak into your life and do things
and send angels if need be, to minister healing to you
and a turn around for whatever you're going through.
You might be alone, you might be fearful,
you might be feeling like you're forgotten.
You might be on your deathbed.
I've got good news for you, God's not done with you.
There is a destiny on your life.
And he came and ministered to me and the turn around came
because an angel of the Lord spoke it.
I want to pray with you.
Maybe you're in that kind of situation right now.
Maybe you don't know what you're going to do.
God will send ministering angels to touch you right now
at the point of your need and speak into your destiny
and say you're not done.
I've got good news: God's got a big plan for your life
and he's not done with you.
Father, I pray right now, to any person that is watching,
any person that's hearing my story,
God of your supernatural power and intervention,
I pray, Lord, that you would just come in wherever they're at
and begin to speak life and speak destiny over them
like the angel did with me for three nights in a row.
Lord, I thank you that you are turning things around,
and what the enemy has meant for people's bad
you are turning it around for their good.
God, those that have lost hope,
I thank you that whenever you speak,
you say live, live, you'll live and not die.
And you restore hope. You said.
I know the plans I have for you, to give you hope and a future.
And so, Lord, I thank you that you're coming in
and restoring hope to those
that find themselves in a hopeless situation.
In Jesus name, I pray. Thank you, Lord.
Hallelujah. Thank you so much for watching my story.
