A man’s heart stopped beating during a Sunday morning worship service at a Georgia church. After a local
pastor implored his congregation to pray, what some are calling a modern miracle occurred.

E. Dewey Smith of Greater Traveler’s Rest (House of Hope) in Decatur focused the congregants on prayer and
praise while the emergency team performed CPR on a dead man.

As white sheets were held up to block attendees’ view of the disturbing scene where the body lay lifeless, Smith
told the crowd, “I want you to shout until the heart start back beating.”

The visitor from Chicago was in town for a family reunion and chose to attend service with some of his relatives.
Though details of his condition are unknown to EEW editors at this time, the situation was serious enough to
snuff out his life.

Smith noted that he saw a “dark cloud” that his grandfather used to call the “death angel” enter into the edifice.

He also noticed the man’s face turn white.

He had slipped away.

In the approximately 20-minute long video, the tension was in the air, as some looked shocked, while others
cried, and still more prayed.

“They can perform CPR, but only God can give him breath,” said the Baptist pastor, who was unflinching in his
faith during the entire ordeal.

“Let the same breath that you breathed into Adam’s nostrils, breathe that breath into his life right now,” Smith
prayed, pleading with God to demonstrate his miraculous power.

“When I count to three, somebody shout Jesus!” he said, to which the people assembled responded with
enthusiastic chants.

Then Smith asked, “Is that an IV I see?”

He followed up the question with a prophetic word. “God told me to tell you that IV stands for I am victorious.”

Less than a minute later, an gray-haired woman walked over to the pastor and announced, “He was gone. He’s
back!”

The church exploded with raucous praise, dancing and shouting.

Smith said, “The Holy Ghost told me to tell y’all right now—and I knew it before I even heard anything—God
said, because y’all were here, because God put him here while y’all were here, and he had somebody praying
for him, [his testimony is] I was gone, but now I’m back.”

Watch.
