Season 3 Ep. 37 - Near-Death Experience Testimony
Coffee and Bible Time
Ian McCormack shares his near-death experience. One night while diving for lobster on the small Island of Mauritius Ian was stung on his forearm by 5 Box-Jellyfish, which the local Creole fishermen called "Invisibles." A sting from a Box-Jellyfish often proves to be fatal - as exemplified in Australia where 70 people are known to have died from their stings. Many books quote this particular type of Jellyfish to be among the most venomous creatures in the world. Ian had been traveling around the world for 2 years leaving New Zealand in 1980 at the age of 24. And in April 1982 at the age of 26 was stung by these Jellyfish.
By the time an ambulance arrived his body was totally paralyzed and necrosis had begun to set into his bone marrow. En route to the hospital, Ian began to see his life flash before him. At this point of his life, he was an atheist - but knew he was nearly dead and didn't know if there was life after death or whether there was just nothing. As Ian lay there dying, he saw his mother in a vision praying for him. She was encouraging him to cry out to God from his heart so that God would hear him and forgive him. (Ian's mother was the only Christian in his family.) He didn't know what to pray and cried out that if God was real, could He help me to pray. Immediately God showed him the Lord’s Prayer, and for the first time in his life, Ian prayed from his heart and gave his life to the Lord.
