>> Hi, I'm Joanne Moody, and I died on an operating table,
and I want to take you back to the moment
when God intersected 14 and a half years of nerve damage
and chronic pain.
When I gave birth to my only child in 1999,
I had no idea that I would go from being a triathlete
to an invalid overnight.
I sustained a 91 hour labor during his birth,
and when he almost died, they finally did a C-section.
And from that 91 hours of labor,
I incurred nerve damage in my pelvis
that went undiagnosed for almost six years.
During that time, from 1999 to 2013,
I went through 13 surgeries to try to give me
some semblance of life without pain.
But in 2005, when I finally had a doctor's diagnosis,
it was called pudendal nerve entrapment.
And very few people had ever heard of it
in the United States,
although in France it was called bikers disease,
and mostly men had it because it was caused
when the peroneal nerve,
the nerves that run underneath the perineum
in your pelvis, were squashed from bikers
sitting on hard seats for long periods of time.
And when the nerves are impacted for long periods of time,
they grow these structures around them that clamp them off.
And this is what happened to me and went undiagnosed until 2005.
So my doctors in California felt that I should go to France
because they were much more expert there
in doing these types of nerve surgeries
where, though you would not be healed,
they said you may have some areas of your pelvis
that had less pain because they could cut away
these scars and free the nerves up.
>> So I had to travel to France with my family, my sisters,
and I traveled there as a patient who was ambulatory,
meaning I could not sit up.
So my chronic pain condition was that I could not sit or stand
for more than a few moments at a time
without excruciating pain through my pelvis
and down my legs.
I lived on seven different opiate medications,
including 240 milligrams of OxyContin.
That was just one of my opiate medications.
When I went to France, it was under the guidance
of my surgeons in California who said,
this is the best chance you have of having any reduced pain
so that your liver will hold out
from all the pain drugs that we give you.
So I did not understand the whole basis of the surgery
until I got to France.
It is still, this, this many years later,
it is still quite difficult to talk about what happened
there. Being an American patient and not speaking French,
I did have a French interpreter with me,
and I want to take you into this scenario
because I believe that when you see the power
of the living God to save a child,
that you will have faith for your own healing
or for your family,
whoever it is that you are praying for.
The moment that I had the surgery,
I felt that there was something that wasn't right,
and they brought me out of this particular surgery
that I had gone for, decompression surgery
it's called, nerve decompression surgery.
They brought me back to my hospital room
and I suddenly felt as if every time my heart beat
that there was a gushing
that was coming out of me, and coming,
it was, it was warm coming up my backside.
And the nurses did not speak English.
And in this particular area,
they had great disdain for Americans.
There were two American patients in this hospital
and they did not want to come and tend to me.
At this moment in time,
I want you to know that my interpreter
who speaks fluent French,
was back at our hotel vomiting the food poisoning.
So I am in a hospital room
with my two sisters who don't speak any French.
I don't speak French. And I can feel with every time
my heart beats that this, what I, what I learned later
was my own blood, was gushing from me up my backside,
and I knew I was dying. I can remember -
I can remember laying there and thinking, God,
I don't want to die here.
But I felt like he was very close to me.
But I was going unconscious.
I could not open my eyes anymore.
And my sisters, I heard them, they, they began yelling.
They were yelling down the hall that the nurse,
for the nurses to come and they, they didn't know what to do.
They were, they were absolutely, my one sister
was absolutely hysterical, freaking out.
The doctor ended up not being in the area.
And in a moment, when I felt this, this, inside of me,
I was, I thought, this is, this is it.
I'm going to just, I'm going to just slip away.
And in that very moment when I could not open my eyes
and I was starting, I was in and out of consciousness,
our interpreter burst into the room and she said,
Oh my God, oh my God.
I was vomiting and I heard God say to me,
Get over there. Get over there right now.
And she came and she put her hand on my head.
I remember that. And they rushed me to emergency.
And on this operating table, I had so much pain,
and they were jamming these big long needles
trying to get a port so they could do surgery.
And I completely died.
When I look at those records, those medical records,
and I see how long I flatlined, I can tell you
that although it's minutes,
it seemed like it was forever with God.
I was taken up in an operating suite
up to the very, very top of this,
this very tall, tall operating suite.
Because it was, there was a viewing room
upstairs for people to watch surgeries.
So it was about three stories. And I remember being up there
and I remember thinking, I can't believe it.
It's the first time in this many years
I don't have any pain. And I was separate from my body.
And I looked down and I saw my body down there
and I thought,
Oh my gosh, blood was everywhere.
And the nurses and the doctors were just yelling at each other
and sweating.
And I remember they're trying to jab and everything is,
is just a mess down there. But I had no pain.
I was up there in this peace with God and I was thinking,
where is, where am I going to go?
I'm going to go up to heaven.
You know, all the things you think about.
But you are still your same person
when you're separate from your body.
So learn to love yourself,
because I realized that I was my same personality.
I thought I was going to be this,
I'm going to be somebody so different
when I'm separated from my body. I was still Joanne Moody.
And I suddenly felt the Lord coming.
And it was the presence, the thickness, the power,
the love, enfolded me like a blanket.
And I knew I was home.
And the Lord spoke to me and he said,
You can go with me now or you can stay for the prayers
of the saints have given you a choice.
And I thought, what? I don't have theology for that.
The prayers of the saints, do you know
how powerful our prayers are? In that moment when God said
that I saw my son right in front of me.
It was not a movie or a picture or a hologram.
It was my little boy who was six year,
almost six years old, and he was so cute.
And I thought - he said, You can go with me now
or you can stay for there is much work for you to do,
and my son appears, and I think, Oh my gosh.
I just knew in that moment my son needed to know the Lord.
And it wasn't compulsion, it was love.
And the Lord was speaking to me about very private things
in that moment that I don't share.
But he said to me, It is as you wish, child.
Do you know the power of love?
When I saw my son, there was a love connection
so supernatural that it changed
my will to go with God to come back.
And I didn't even say a word. It was a will.
And I came back into my body
and when I, my spirit came into my body,
it did feel like I got hit by a train.
It was the worst pain.
And then I knew I was back in my body,
because the needles went in and I was rushed to surgery.
I want to tell you, viewer,
that no matter how difficult your life is,
no matter what trauma you have suffered,
no matter what things have come against you,
there is a supernatural God
who created the universe, who is for you, and with you.
He is Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Jireh. He is the healer,
Yeshua, He is for you right in this moment.
And I want to tell you in how he saved my life,
it was a very rough road.
I had two more surgeries in the next two days
and then I went on to have many more.
But I sit in front of you today
because God has mercy on all of us.
And He healed me completely and totally supernaturally in 2013.
I endured for 14 and a half years.
But I'm telling you that I believe today is your day.
So I pray by the power
of the Holy Spirit, in the name of Yeshua,
Father God, I ask for this viewer
that is watching right now who is hopeless
and thinks you forgot about them.
I ask Lord, that you send your powerful healing angels
and that in the name of Yeshua and the name of Jesus
that you just touch every part of their body
that needs healing.
And I speak to cellular memory trauma
and I speak to these cells that hold on
to this traumatic memories and pain and in Jesus name,
be rewritten with the love and the light of Jesus Christ.
All pain leave their bodies,
all trauma leave their bodies right now, in Jesus name.
And Father, I ask that you blanket them with the same love
and the same peace
and the overwhelming joy of your presence.
In Jesus name.
