Scott Jacobs Testimony
3 years ago my life changed forever . I was healed physically and emotionally by Jesus.I will try to explain to the best of my ability. . I had just gone through a hard divorce ,having been married for over 20 years and at a very young age.It was by far the hardest thing I had ever been through.I had thought my life was over and I would never be happy again.I felt alone and very helpless but trying my best to fix everything on my own and it just wasn't working . I ended up seeing a girl that I had no business being with and things just got even worse. I was drinking a lot and trying to convince myself I was okay , but knowing in my heart that I wasn't . I was warned many times by friends ,but I just didn't want to listen . I was a mess at this time .
So on November 6 2012 I was at work it was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and my stomach started to hurt .I didn't think much of it because I had stomach issues my whole life it was nothing unusual at that point .I ended up going home because I got sick a couple times ..got home and sick again ..still not thinking to much about it because it's happened before . but then I started not being able to breathe so that was different .. so I called my ex wife and my daughter and they both came over right away and got me to the e.r .me saying the whole time " this is different " .. if they had not come over when they did I would have died in my house, when I got to the e.r they gave me the drink for a c.t and after that I do not remember what happened.I had a ruptured bowel that spiraled into many complications.
They rushed me into emergency surgery ( c.t saying worse c.t they ever saw and the doctor saying I probably wouldn't make it )..giving me a 10% chance of surviving.I woke up about 4 weeks later ..in between this time 3 times doctors saying I won't make it .finally woke up exactly when I am still not really sure..there was about 3 days that people said I was talking to them, but i do not remember .. one of the first things i do remember is being asked if i knew how long I had been asleep and I said a couple hours i guess.I had actually been asleep for about 4 weeks.
i remember sitting in the hospital bed confused because they were worried about my heart and I kept thinking its not my heart that was the problem it was my stomach . I didn't understand at the time really what was going on because besides being tired and extremely weak I felt fine . I remember also sitting there thinking " if I just had major surgery , shouldn't there be some sort of pain ??" ..Jesus put me to sleep and completely healed me of everything and he didn't let me wake up till I was completely healed.Jesus answer to healing is always yes . Now when I did wake up I woke up to find my ex wife right by my side the whole time which was huge to me . No we are not married but we are best friends and would do anything for each other . Jesus totally healed my heart in that situation. 2 weeks before I went back to work the girl I was with before I got sick was let go so I did not have to deal with all the drama when I came back to work. I haven't seen her sense and i stopped all the drinking and junk and Jesus set me free of all of it .The whole situation was all moved and orchestrated by Jesus .
I was back to work in 5 months and I drove to Kentucky within a year. I did not deserve any of this it is all the grace of Jesus . Today I have marks on my body that remind me daily of his love . it has been an amazing ride the last 3 years from moving to an awesome apartment to my parents buying me a car to moving my position at work and absolutely loving what I'm doing ..the list goes on ..just enjoying the journey . there is nothing that he has done for me that I have deserved it is and always will be his grace and love that has seen me through.
