1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,240
OK, I want you guys to look at 
this and then wait to hear the 

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:11,160
remarkable story behind it. 
So there's this mum in Kentucky 

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,160
called Amanda Foster. 
She's 33 and she's pregnant with

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,680
her fourth child, and she's had 
a pretty rough ride when it 

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,360
comes to pregnancies. 
Her journey actually started 

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,440
when she was 17. 
That's when she lost her first 

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,920
baby boy to something called 
Potter syndrome, which basically

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,920
means that the kidneys don't 
develop properly and it usually 

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,520
ends in tragedy. 
And sadly for Amanda, it did. 

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,360
As you can imagine, Amanda was 
devastated. 

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,280
I mean, she actually said at 
that time, if God, you're going 

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,320
to take my son, well, you're 
going to have to take me too. 

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,480
But the Lord didn't. 
And what followed were years of 

14
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:51,400
pain, resentment and anger 
towards God. 

15
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,720
Let me just stop there because I
know that many of you who are 

16
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,640
listening right now, you can 
actually relate to Amanda's 

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,000
feelings. 
But hey, now, Fast forward a 

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,880
bit. 
Amanda does go on to have two 

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,880
beautiful, healthy daughters, 
but she admits that she was 

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,240
still filled with anger towards 
God. 

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,760
But then something shifted. 
In September 2021, she gave her 

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,840
life to Jesus. 
Completely broken, totally 

23
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,560
exhausted, she said, all right 
God, I'm done fighting. 

24
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,000
But you won't believe this next 
part by November. 

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,480
She then finds out that she's 
pregnant again with a healthy 

26
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,360
little boy. 
And this little boy is nearly 

27
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,760
three years old. 
Now here's where things get 

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,880
really interesting. 
Amanda's pregnant again. 

29
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:42,040
And early on in this pregnancy, 
doctors discovered a heart 

30
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,480
condition in the baby, something
wrong with the wall in his heart

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,480
near the aorta. 
And it's serious. 

32
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,920
It's really serious. 
But Amanda is now walking in 

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,160
faith, so she starts to pray. 
Before every single appointment,

34
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,560
she prayed to God. 
Lord, please keep your hand on 

35
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,600
my baby. 
And then something unbelievable 

36
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,080
happened on the 32 week 
ultrasound. 

37
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:12,800
This came up in the imaging. 
So here she is. 

38
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,200
She's lying there. 
She's looking at the screen and 

39
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,920
what shows up, a huge hand 
cradling her baby's head. 

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,600
I mean, it literally looks like 
the hand was just gently resting

41
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,200
there as if to say, I'm here. 
Her daughter Bailey was there, 

42
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,160
too, and she was the one who 
spotted it first. 

43
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,160
She goes, mom, mom, look, 
there's a hand on his head. 

44
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,000
The image went absolutely viral 
online, and people called it 

45
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,920
amazing. 
Some people said, what more 

46
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:40,760
proof do you need that there is 
a God, that there is a sign from

47
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,520
God here before all of our eyes.
But not everyone believed it. 

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,680
Some folks were like, it's just 
probably the baby's own hand 

49
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,400
distorted by the ultrasound, 
which fine, ultrasounds can 

50
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,440
sometimes look a little bit 
wobbly when they come out. 

51
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,080
But Amanda, what about her? 
She knows what she prayed, and 

52
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,120
she knows what she saw. 
She and her husband Kyle, 

53
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,280
believe it was the hand of God 
because they prayed so, so much,

54
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,320
they say. 
And then after that, get this, 

55
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,960
the heart defect disappeared. 
It went and they truly do 

56
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,200
believe this was God in that 
moment, protecting their son and

57
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,000
bringing about things, making it
all new again. 

58
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,560
Now listen to me, whether you 
believe it was a divine hand or 

59
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,880
whether you believe it was just 
the scan glitching, Amanda's 

60
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,440
story is powerful. 
Why? 

61
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,280
Because she went from losing a 
child, cursing God, to finding 

62
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,880
peace, joy, and maybe even a 
miracle. 

63
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,400
So what do you think? 
I'm super interested to know 

64
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,240
what my subscribers think. 
Do you think it was just a 

65
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,320
coincidence? 
Do you think it was a glitch? 

66
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,920
Or do you think it was a 
miraculous reminder that when we

67
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,120
ask, when we trust, sometimes 
the Lord God really does place 

68
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,080
His hand right where it's needed
most. 

69
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,160
One thing is for sure, we can't 
blame it on AI because this 

70
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,880
happened in early 2022 before 
open AI was accessible. 

71
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,480
And personally, when I look at 
this, it reminds reminds me of 

72
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,440
the Potter and the clay like a 
sculptor at work on his subject.

73
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,000
But over to you. 
Have you ever heard this Bible 

74
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,720
verse before? 
Psalm 139, verse 13 says, for 

75
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,600
you created my inmost being. 
You knit me together in my 

76
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,960
mother's womb. 
Let me be transparent now, as 

77
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,880
someone who has also experienced
a similar sadness to Amanda 

78
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,920
earlier this year, I know that 
God can do pretty incredible 

79
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,080
things during these moments of 
life, things that we would not 

80
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,600
believe if we hadn't been 
through the trial. 

81
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,120
However, whatever you do believe
was on that scan that day, this 

82
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,680
story touches a part of us that 
is right inside our very inner 

83
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,840
being. 
Because come on now, let's be 

84
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:56,320
honest with one another. 
We all long to be held, don't 

85
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,640
we? 
Not just physically, but 

86
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,520
spiritually. 
We want to know that we're safe.

87
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,280
We want to know that someone 
bigger than us sees all that 

88
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:06,680
we're going through and won't 
let us go. 

89
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,120
And whether it's in the middle 
of grief like Amanda losing her 

90
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,880
first son, or in a moment of 
joy, like seeing that hand in 

91
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,280
the ultrasound, deep down we all
want to know the same thing. 

92
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,360
We all want to know that we are 
being held by God. 

93
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:24,800
Well, the good news is this. 
Every single one of us can be. 

94
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,160
The Bible says in Psalm 73, you 
hold my hand, you guide me with 

95
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,760
your counsel, and afterward you 
will receive me to glory. 

96
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,800
But there is a problem. 
All of us have pushed that hand 

97
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,360
away. 
We've broken God's law, not just

98
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,960
in big ways, but in the small 
everyday stuff that we do. 

99
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:48,360
Selfishness, pride, anger, 
judgement. 

100
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,440
We're all living on our own life
terms at times. 

101
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,720
We've all made ourselves as our 
own gods, and we've all ignored 

102
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,280
the One who made us. 
Do you know what the Bible calls

103
00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:59,280
that? 
It calls it sin. 

104
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,120
And sin separates us from the 
face of God. 

105
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,200
And because God is just, he 
can't just shrug it off. 

106
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,320
No, His justice demands a 
response, but His response is 

107
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,160
actually in love. 
In love He made a way. 

108
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,720
He made a way that was paved 
with his own Son. 

109
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,600
His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ 
entered into this world and took

110
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,440
on a body and he walked on this 
earth just like you and me were 

111
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,320
walking on this earth. 
We're alive. 

112
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,280
God took on a skin and came and 
lived amongst us and He lived a 

113
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:38,400
perfect life, a righteous life, 
no sin whatsoever. 

114
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,280
And yet this righteous Son of 
God became the sacrifice on on a

115
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:47,480
cross for my sin, on an old 
wooden rugged cross. 

116
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,440
The Son of God was nailed there 
between two thieves so that you 

117
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,160
and I can be forgiven. 
Our sin was transferred onto 

118
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,360
him. 
Our rottenness, all our 

119
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,840
wrongdoing was laid on him. 
And the very hand of God that 

120
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:06,160
we've been talking about, the 
very hand of God laid all of his

121
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,360
wrath, poured out all of his 
anger. 

122
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,080
It was heavy on the Son of God, 
not because Jesus had done 

123
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,280
anything wrong, but because you 
and I have done many, many bad 

124
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,000
things. 
Many sins and the sins of the 

125
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,880
world were poured out on Jesus, 
and God punished Christ his Son 

126
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,240
on the cross in our place, so 
that our sins can be washed away

127
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,280
and we can get a new beginning 
and we can hold on to the hand 

128
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,400
of God. 
And then what happened next? 

129
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,320
Jesus died and he was put in a 
tomb and they put a massive big 

130
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,800
stone, a big, huge stone. 
It was put in front of the tomb 

131
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,520
to keep him in there, because 
there was a rumour that went 

132
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,840
around that the disciples would 
sneak in and take the body away.

133
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,000
So they put a big stone there to
make sure that would be 

134
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,200
impossible, that no one could do
this. 

135
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,920
But then what happened again? 
The power, the hand of God 

136
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,440
rolled away that stone, and 
there the Lord Jesus Christ came

137
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,560
out triumphant because not even 
the hand of death could hold 

138
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,880
Jesus down, because the hand of 
God is much more powerful. 

139
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,960
And he conquered the grave. 
And that's why, my friend, 

140
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,720
whoever you are, you'd be very 
wise to trust in Jesus Christ 

141
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,320
because His hand is so, so 
strong. 

142
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,120
He can beat your grave and 
wrestle the hand of death that 

143
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,080
will grip every single one of us
one day. 

144
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,960
A grip that is so strong that 
not even the strongest man on 

145
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,799
earth could fight that grip. 
It'll all get but Jesus Christ's

146
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:36,200
grip. 
Jesus Christ's hand is way 

147
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,799
stronger and He will beat your 
grave if you put your trust in 

148
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:43,520
Him and ask Him to be your Lord 
and Saviour, to wash away all of

149
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,440
your sins and to give you a new 
start, a new beginning. 

150
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,120
If you are one of his children, 
remember this. 

151
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,120
You're held forever, not because
you've earned it, but because 

152
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,480
He's paid for it. 
So if you're tired, if you're 

153
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,240
hurting, or if you're just ready
to come home, His hand is there 

154
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,080
reaching out to you. 
But the question will you take 

155
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,720
it guys? 
If you haven't yet heard about

00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,320
our sad start to 2025 only if 
you want to, you can click here 

157
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,240
and listen to our story. 
And I do want to say this thank 

158
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,760
you to every single one of you 
who has supported our ministry 

159
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,200
through our website 
offthecurb.org. 

160
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,640
And I also want to thank every 
single one of you who is a 

161
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,840
member of this channel because 
honestly, without your support, 

162
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,120
practically, I could not make 
these videos anymore. 

163
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,240
And I just need to draw 
awareness to that that I really 

164
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,000
do appreciate you guys and it 
does help. 

165
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,280
So please do keep praying for 
this ministry. 

166
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,840
God bless you all. 
We've got a great joy ahead of 

167
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,400
us. 
We've got the Lord Jesus Christ 

168
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,120
who has a strong wrong hand, and
let us all remember that this 

169
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,080
very day. 
Thank you for watching.
