Most people who know me know I died on January 18, 1989, went to heaven, and was prayed back to earth about ninety minutes later; however, many don\u2019t know the rest of the story\u2014a part I didn\u2019t know until more than a year afterward. One powerful element came out when I ate at a Chinese restaurant with Dick and Anita Onerecker.<\/p>\n

We had just come from church, where Dick served as the senior pastor. They had invited me to preach. My first encounter with Dick and Anita had been in the piney woods of East Texas. They were part of a leadership team for a church growth conference that ended on a Wednesday.<\/p>\n

On a cold, rain-slicked rural road a few miles from the gates of the retreat center, a tractor-trailer truck crossed the center stripe of the two-lane highway on a bridge over Lake Livingston, and hit me head-on. I was killed instantly. The report stated, \u201cDead on the scene,\u201d and they summoned the coroner. Although the accident involved three cars, there were no serious injuries to the other people.<\/p>\n

Because of the accident, traffic backed up in both directions. Dick and Anita also headed home from the conference. They had stopped for take-out coffee, and were half-a-mile from the accident. With so many cars backed up, they left their car and walked to the scene of the accident to see if they could be of assistance. Anita gave her hot coffee to an elderly man in one of the other accident vehicles. Dick sought out the emergency medical technicians. After Dick identified himself, one EMT said, \u201cThe man in the red car is dead; several people are badly shaken up, but not seriously hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Weeks after the accident, Dick told me, \u201cThe Lord spoke to me in a clear voice: \u2018Pray for the man in the red car.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When Dick asked permission to get under the tarp that now covered my red Escort, an EMT refused. \u201cThe demolished car is too gruesome.\u201d Dick persisted and the man relented. Despite the misty rain, Dick pulled back the tarp and crawled inside my Escort. He found my horribly mangled body slumped in the front seat. He prayed desperately for me, not knowing at that time for whom he was praying.<\/p>\n

Even my intimate friends would not have recognized me. Both legs were crushed, one was severed. So was my left arm. My chest was impaled by the steering wheel. In addition to obvious wounds, I was bleeding from the ears and eyes. My best recollection of what I heard, and the one I related to Dick\u2019s church, was that Dick had taken hold of my only intact limb, my right hand, and prayed fervently and urgently. He prayed that I would live and be delivered from internal injuries. He paused a few times and sang hymns.<\/p>\n

At one point he began singing, \u201cWhat a Friend We Have in Jesus.\u201d I started to sing with Dick. At the shock of hearing my singing with him, he scurried from under the tarp and yelled, \u201cThe man is alive!\u201d Once again, he crawled under the tarp and continued to pray\u2014 with even more intensity. We continued to sing while firefighters, now on the scene, tried to extricate me. I was unaware of the activity, so I can only report what Dick and others told me. I had been driving along Texas Highway 19 on my way to lead a Wednesday prayer service at our church in Alvin, a suburb of Houston.<\/p>\n

On the bridge above Lake Livingston, a huge truck came at me. In my next moment of consciousness I was in the darkness, singing hymns along with a voice I didn\u2019t recognize. The powerful hand that gripped mine infused me with strength, encouragement, and the will to survive. More than a year passed after my ordeal, and most of that time I was in a hospital bed and underwent sixteen surgeries (more would follow). Excruciating pain filled my body constantly. Because of God\u2019s grace I slowly recovered and within a year I was able to preach at Dick\u2019s church.<\/p>\n

I wore heavy leg braces and was still in agony, but I was alive and able to stand at the pulpit of the man who had prayed me back to life. I told Dick\u2019s congregation about their pastor\u2019s fervent prayers, our hymn singing in the wrecked car, and his strong hand that supported me and infused me with courage to hold on. Many people cried that day\u2014and tears came to my own eyes as I relived that experience.<\/p>\n

While we ate lunch after the worship service, Anita smiled and leaned toward me. \u201cI need to correct something you said in the pul- pit this morning.\u201d I returned her smile but I thought, that\u2019s exactly what every preacher doesn\u2019t want to hear. \u201cI enjoyed hearing your testimony this morning. I know it wasn\u2019t easy for you\u2014\u201d \u201cNo, it wasn\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cThere\u2019s just one thing. The part where you talked about Dick holding your hand and praying for you\u2014\u201d I nodded. \u201cThat didn\u2019t happen.\u201d \u201cI have many gaps in my memory, Anita, and some of my facts come from those who were there. But of one thing I am absolutely positive. I vividly remember holding his hand. That\u2019s what inspired me to hold on. I remember\u2014\u201d \u201cYou were holding a hand as Dick prayed.\u201d She peered intently at me. \u201cBut it wasn\u2019t Dick\u2019s hand.\u201d I don\u2019t know if I protested or stared silently. \u201cBut how\u2014\u201d \u201cNo one could have reached your hand while you were trapped inside your car. You were twisted so far to the right that your right hand was actually on the floor of the passenger\u2019s side.\u201d She paused and I nodded. \u201cDick reached through the back window of your car.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s correct and\u2014\u201d \u201cDick placed his right arm between the front seats and your right shoulder\u2014your unbroken arm.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s right\u2014\u201d \u201cYour right hand was beyond Dick\u2019s reach.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stared at her uncomprehendingly. \u201cBut I remember the hand\u2014it was so powerful. I know a hand grasped mine. I drew enormous strength and help from that hand. It gave me the power to hang on.\u201d \u201cThere was a hand all right.\u201d She paused and added, \u201cBut it wasn\u2019t Dick\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it wasn\u2019t Dick\u2019s hand, whose hand was it?\u201d \u201cI believe you know.\u201d Just then I understood. God sent one of His ministering spirits\u2014an angel\u2014not only to hold my hand but also to infuse me with a will to live. There had been three of us inside that demolished car. It had been a heavenly trio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
