YEPPE KYE AYE

Acts 20:7-12
Youth camp evangelist in Wyoming, the message had been preached and we were ministering one on one throughout the sanctuary. The Spirit had moved mightily during altar call, many were lost in the presence of God as the worship team led us in worship.
Youth were sprawled out on the floor all over the house and as I moved from one youth to the other youth were crying and calling on God. As I made my way to the back of the sanctuary our night watchman for the camp was laying on the floor on his back with his eyes closed. Several youth surrounding him was praying, his position on the floor like many others in the sanctuary did not look any different than others that night.
However, as I stood over him I could sense in my spirit it was not the same; something was deathly wrong. I had been on the battle field and new what this look was in 130 degree Desert heat. I knelt beside him and did what they trained me to do in the military; I shook him and asked him if he was alright. No response, he was out cold. The others standing around was saying, he is out in the spirit. I knew better, so I ask them to get Doc Wessel.
Sure enough he was dying from heat exhaustion, Doc jumps on him and begins to slap him till hand prints were left on his face; no response. At that time all the others standing around realized this was no “out in the spirit” thing. Then he took his knuckles and begins to vigorously rub the center of his chest till the skin began to bleed slightly. At that moment he came to. We picked him up and dragged him to the showers and I held him under the water for several minutes until he was more conscious. Of course we begin to hydrate him and he recovered from then on.
This did not come close to being like Paul’s incident, nonetheless, thought I would share it anyway. This took place over 20 years ago. Years later I was that young man’s pastor, he was a diesel mechanic and a large vehicle fell on him and crushed him. They rushed him to Billings, MT emergency, after assessing his situation they did not expect him to live. We prayed a prayer of faith and he lived.
