“I ALMOST BLED TO DEATH, GOD RESCUED ME AND KEPT HIS WORD.”
I am Peggy Anderson, I am a Cameroonian music minister and worshiper. Married with five biological children. I have been in committed service to the Lord for over ten years now as a music minister and worshiper.
In 2019, I fell sick. I knew it was just sickness but I didn’t know I was pregnant. So I became sick in November and December and then decided to visit the hospital. After running some tests, it was confirmed I was pregnant. This is after eight years when I had my last child. It was difficult.
At our cross over night, we have a routine, a spiritual ritual where we pick prophetic words on papers written by our pastor. The word I picked was Isaiah 62:6-7.
It says “I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord , keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Isaiah 62:6â€-‬7 .”
I held unto this word from 2019 till 2020 when I became really really sick. I didn’t plan to have a baby so It was very challenging. I was sick every now and then and one of the situations they noticed was, I always had a shortage of blood ranging from 6%,7% 8%.I was pregnant and lean and people were wondering what was up.
From January 2020 after I received the prophetic word, God started sending people into my life who were interceding for me both at the back and some praying at my house etc. Many people had numerous revelations where they saw me dead, in a casket, buried.
All I had was the word of God.
The situation became so threatening. In June 2020 when I went to the hospital, The doctor said the baby was bridged and I had to be operated upon.
That the baby was already big, strong and weighing 3.9 and had to be quickly removed.
We went into prayers. Normally I was to put to birth by July but July past, August came, I was already above ten months pregnant. The baby weighed on me and I was unable to walk.
When I went to the hospital, I was still diagnosed with blood shortage. I took tunics, blood medications but yet every time I had the same complaint of blood shortage.
Finally on the seventh of August the doctor sent me for an echography and when I went in, the doctor at the ecography unit said ‘madam, your baby is big and I don’t know why the baby has not come out.’ He wasn’t the one to read the results so I went back to my doctor who read the results.
He said ‘Madam your cervix is closed, your baby is big, your baby has not passed through the pelvic bones. The baby normally has to pass through the pelvic bones to engage and prepare to come out. But the baby has not passed through the pelvic bone to engage and the cervix is really closed’.
The doctor went ahead to explain
‘Worse of all, your baby’s placenta is already undergoing calcification(becoming a stone) and if this process gets completed, your life and that of your baby are endangered so we will remove the baby now.’ That explained why I couldn’t walk as it seemed like a stone was in my stomach. So heavy! The doctor said “if we leave you a little longer, you might lose your life” because it was like the baby was coming right up to my heart, I could feel the weight in my body. I couldn’t move my legs.
I returned home , spoke with my husband and we returned to the hospital. Now in preparing me for the operation, they said they had to first check my blood level. In checking the blood level, again they discovered my blood was low, 7%.
The truth is, if I had gone into labour with that blood level, I would have bled to death. So I know God’s hand delayed the labouring and delivery for my safety.
The doctors had to first do a blood transfusion to step up my blood and prepare me for the theatre.
During and after the operation, I bled terribly. And on coming round after the operation I was with my mum. I told her ‘I cannot feel myself again. I feel dizzy and weak..’
What was happening is I had lost a lot of blood and I was dying. Then, a nurse got into the ward and announced that the doctor has asked that I be transfused blood immediately. Unfortunately there was no blood in their blood bank. They made calls and calls as I grew weaker and weaker until God helped them find someone who donated his blood and I came back alive and strong.
The Lord is faithful to His word. There is no day I didn’t pray and remind the Lord about His word. He said He had sent watchmen upon my walls to stand until I became a praise.
I saw how the Lord helped me, I saw how the Lord delivered me, I saw how the Lord rendered the devices of the enemy futile.
Today I return to share my testimony with Church Gist and give God All the glory for rescuing me and the baby in His own great wisdom. If He had not closed my cervix, I would have bled to death through natural birth. I encourage you today, ‘Hold unto God’s word and watch Him give you testimony.’
