Port Macquarie, Australia — April 14, 2025 — A recent trip to Port Macquarie took an unexpected turn for one traveler, who found himself battling pneumonia but ultimately emerged with a renewed sense of faith and appreciation for life.
On Sunday, April 13, the journey began when a train disruption left the traveler stranded at Taree station. A kind offer from local resident in Port Macquarie who he was visiting, Stephen Smith ensured a smooth transition to Port Macquarie, where the two planned to discuss the management of divine stream radio and divine reels TV. Little did they know, the evening would take a dramatic turn.
After a relaxing soak in a hot outdoor pool, the traveler experienced sudden difficulty breathing, prompting immediate concern from Smith. Struggling to draw breath, he recalled the countless individuals who suffered from pneumonia during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to tragic outcomes. In that moment of distress, he sought solace in his faith, remembering Psalm 91:10, which promises protection from plagues.
Drawing from his spiritual beliefs, he uttered a simple yet powerful declaration: “Shallow breath, be removed, and cast into the sea.” He was reminded of Mark 11:23, which states, “Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.” Within minutes, an ambulance arrived, and skilled nurses quickly assessed his condition, administering oxygen and conducting ECG tests.
At Port Macquarie Hospital, doctors diagnosed him with pneumonia, explaining that fluid in his lungs was severely restricting his ability to breathe. Throughout the night, he maintained Jesus saying, repeating, “Pneumonia be removed, and cast into the sea.”
By the following morning, a follow-up examination revealed a remarkable turnaround. The traveler reported feeling fine, free from the symptoms that had plagued him just hours earlier. Upon sharing his faith-driven approach with attending physicians, one doctor expressed admiration, saying, “I wish I had that power!”
With encouragement from his doctor and support from Smith, he was discharged by 11 a.m., returning home with a profound sense of gratitude. “It would have been ever so easy to say, ‘This is too hard,’ and simply give up,” he reflected, acknowledging the struggles many faced during the pandemic.
Looking back, he recognized that the likely cause of his illness was linked to bacteria in the pool, exacerbated by the heavy rains that had preceded his visit. Yet, it was his reliance on faith and the power of spoken words that ultimately led to his healing.
As he continues his recovery, he is reminded of the strength found in community, faith, and the resilience of the human spirit. His experience serves as a powerful testament to the idea that, even in moments of crisis, hope and healing can prevail.
