Personal Testimony of Fanie and Susan van Vuuren

On Sunday 12 May 2019 at about 15:20 I died and if it was not for my wife Susan and a lifesaver named Allan Kuhnel, who was at the right place at the right time, which laid hands on me and prayed I wouldn’t have been here today. There is much power in prayer. I am a living testimony of it. 

What happened was that I had pain at the back of my right knee from Thursday night. As I suffer from gout I thought it was just a gout flare. This pain got severe Sunday morning. After we came back from the airport I had excruciating pain in my right knee and my wife Susan went to Galleria Mall, Clicks, to buy me some gout medicine. I was in so much pain that I got out of my car and while waiting for her to return I felt as if my blood sugar was dropping. I then took a few sips of my coke, but it didn’t really help. As Susan came back, just in time, I gave her the key of the car and told her I just want to lie down. I then went to the passenger side, and as I sat down I was gone. 

Susan:  “As Fanie got in the passenger seat I saw that his color changed to a grayish color. When he sat down, immediately his head dropped to the back, his eyes turn over and the next moment his face fell forward and his eyes closed. He was completely cold and his skin was wet. He did not breathe. My first thought was that he had a blood clot in his leg and that it went through his lung. I felt anxious and might have screamed. Next I started to pray for him, and I did hit his heart 4 times with my fist. I then got out of the car and saw people at a car parked not far from us. I shouted for help and they came running to our car immediately. The wife, Barbara, immediately phoned the ambulance, Netcare 911 who responded quickly, and the husband, Allan, went to Fanie. He felt his pulse and there was nothing. He immediately laid hands on Fanie and I joined him and we prayed together. Just after that Fanie gave a very loud scream and then he woke up. Allan lowered the seat and made Fanie comfortable. He told Fanie to stay calm and just to take deep breathes. He felt Fanie’s pulse and said it was good and strong. He told Fanie that he would be fine, God restored him. Fanie said that his leg was very sore and we laid hands on his leg and prayed for him again. We then had the car’s aircon blowing on him.  Fanie then asked what happened and who was screaming. We told him that it was he who screamed so loudly.” 

As I was ‘waking up’ I asked who was screaming and they told me that it was me. I then remembered a big black hole, which might have been the reason I was screaming, because I didn’t want to go in the big black hole. It was terrifying. I then realized I was on my way to hell......

When Netcare 911 arrived they checked all my vitals – heart rate, blood pressure, sugar, pulse – and everything was 100%. Because we don’t have a medical aid I decided that I don’t want to go to a Government hospital, I would rather go home. 

The next day we went to see the doctor, by then my leg was completely healed and there was no more pain or swelling. The doctor examined me and couldn’t find anything wrong. She asked that I go for blood tests the next day, which I did. She phoned me two days later and told me the blood tests came back and everything is normal.  She was also amazed of what God has done. 

I just want to thank God for completely healing me. I would also like to thank Susan, my lovely wife, and Allan for praying for me and our friend Dirk Coetzer who took us home afterwards.

Because of this experience I asked God to please forgive all my sins and I asked Him to be Lord of my life. I repented and ask Jesus to come into my life again as I drifted away from Him several years ago. Not everybody get's a second chance and once you died you either go to heaven or hell. 

Please, I beg you, choose Jesus today as hell is real and it is terrifying.
