Approximately 10 years ago, on a freezing July night, the cold, hard, truth hit me like a freight train.

NO ONE WAS COMING TO MY RESCUE.

Onour bedroom floor, my wife was giving birth to our son, he'd come soquickly that we had just called the hospital to tell them we were onour way. But we never made it out of the house.

The complicationwas he was breech, and when he had come out to his shoulders, thecontractions stopped and he stopped coming. My wife and I stayed calm,but for all my trying I just could not get his head out.

Whilethis was happening my sister had called an ambulance, but we were stuckin this position for about 15 minutes before they arrived and were ableto fully deliver him.

What I didn't realize was that theumbilical cord was obstructed and our baby was suffering asphyxiation.When he was finally born our boy was blue, and his heart rate was 40beats per minute when it should have been 140 beats per minute.

As the paramedics worked on our son, pumping oxygen into his lungs, with a hand pump, I went outside to talk to God.

I'dbeen studying faith at a local church for a while, and had achievedsome small successes. One of the scriptures that has always impressedon me the most was Mark 11:24 "Whosoever shall say unto this mountain,be though removed and be though cast into the sea, and shall not doubtin his heart, but shall believe that those things which he says shallcome to pass. He shall have whatsoever he says."

This scripturetold me I had to take responsibility in the situation, and not wait forsomething to happen, but make something happen.

I felt strengthflow through me as I reminded God what this scripture said. I told Godthat I was not going to ask for anything but that I was going to takecontrol of the situation.

I had a strong belief that parents are supposed to protect their children, not just naturally but spiritually as well.

I also could not accept the idea that a child would be born just to die ten minutes later.

Aftermy conversation with God I felt fearless and determined. When I wentback into the house the main paramedic pulled me aside and asked me ifhe could have a word with me. With a grim look on his face and aprofessional tone in his voice he told me, "I don't think the littleblokes gonna make it."

This was a defining moment, I refused to become afraid and accept his opinion!

Lookingdirectly into his eyes I replied "No he is going to be fine." I know Imust have had a look that said I meant business, because the paramedicbacked off immediately with a quick reply "Yer Okay".

It'samazing how quickly people will change their mind and come intoagreement with you when you are clear and absolute about something.

Uponentering the hospital I repeated with conviction "No he's going to makeit, He's gonna be just fine," to any one that spoke to me.

As I stood back and watched Doctors and Nurses buzzing around my son in a hive of activity, things became surreal.

Asmiling woman in a white coat approached, "You know when they calledin, I thought they'd be bringing in a dead baby, but it's a miracle,they've done a great job, he's looking good."

Of course our baby did survive.

Butthe next day he was placed in intensive care. At a meeting with thehead of intensive care, the Doctor explained to us that our baby was"fitting" and this was most likely because he would have suffered braindamage and organ damage due to the lack of oxygen he received duringbirth. At this point, once again I reassured the Doctor, "No, don'tworry, he's going to be just fine." Because of what we had just beenthrough, I thought there's no way I'm going to start backing off now.

Aboutthis time we were interviewed by the hospital psychologist, to see howwe were handling the fact our baby would be severely handicapped. Afterthe meeting my wife sneaked a peek at the psychologist's clipboard andnotes. Among other things, my wife noticed the statement "This coupleis not prepared for failure." It was not written as a positivestatement, but I found it incredibly empowering.

The ward isdivided into ten sections. Section one for the sickest babies and ourson was in this section. Some babies are in section one for months andsome never get well. However, within two days our son was in sectionthree and in three days he was in section nine. Within another threedays we were taking him home in absolutely perfect condition.

Since that time I have pushed myself to learn as much as possible about this incredible power that saved my son's life.

WhatI have learnt I have applied to many different areas of my life, I haveused this power to transform my near bankrupt, failing business into athriving prosperous company that has allowed me an income that hastotally changed my lifestyle.

I have seen this power make cancer and arthritis completely disappear from people's bodies.

I have seen it transform children with learning difficulties and sleeping problems into peaceful intelligent, happy kids.

Ihave seen it do many incredible, wonderful things in relationships, andevery area of life. I believe this power controls the world, and Ibelieve it exists for the benefit of mankind.

I truly believe it's the answer to every obstacle we face.
