From Death To Life

This is a fabulous story where this elderly lady was bitten by a King Cobra snake about 8 years ago at Hepzibah Mission field and she was pronounced dead by a man who is a Hindu Priest but also a tribal doctor. Then God raised her up.

“I had to face a great danger 8 years ago.  When I went into the bush in this campus to get a medical herb for my granddaughter I was bitten by a very poisonous cobra, as soon as I stamped over the tail without my knowledge, within 10 feet when I couldn’t walk any further I fainted and my son was watching all these things.  I do not know what happened after I fainted.  When I was in an unconscious state the Sunday school children who were I the camp went running crying to the pastor and said the elderly teacher, grandma is bitten by snake and she is dead. I was told that when pastor came and sister Ruth also, they prayed and put a cross upon my forehead and laid hands upon me and prayed, the breath came back, the foaming that was in my mouth was released by the priest.  And as soon as the breath returned unto me but I was still unconscious, I was hurried to the hospital.  And on the way I gained about 70 % consciousness. And in the hospital one of  my students is the superintendent so I got the best care and I was kept for 5 days and then I had a blood transfusion.  So by God’s grace I became perfectly normal and also the skin problems which I had also vanished.  By God’s grace the following Sunday I was able to come and sit in the worship.  Actually the whole thing was delayed for a few days because the wound which was created when they tried to release the poison took longer to heal and I give all glory to God for extending my life and I’m still alive and I do what I can do for the glory of God.”

Their venom is not the most potent among venomous snakes, but the amount of neurotoxin they can deliver in a single bite—up to two-tenths of a fluid ounce (seven milliliters)—is enough to kill 20 people, or even an elephant. Fortunately, king cobras are shy and will avoid humans whenever possible, but they are fiercely aggressive when cornered.
