"...God is real. I saw Him..." -DJ (Avir)

(Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana) — [Breaking Christian News] The beginning of July saw many tragic drownings from the floods in Central Texas, but in Louisiana, there was another story unfolding with a different ending. (Image: via KLFY 10 News)

Reporting for KLFY 10 News, Rodricka Stevens details what happened to a 6-year-old boy enjoying a family day on July 4th, at the Paragon Casino Resort.

The boy's mother, Krista Parker had noticed her son dangling his feet in the pool, later saying, "I was kind of okay with it because DJ, he's scared of water, so he's not going to just jump in..."

But the next time she looked, she panicked, "her son looked lifeless," noted Stevens.

Feeling led to give her son CPR, Parker also began pleading with God, "...Lord, cover my baby with Your Blood in the name of Jesus, Lord, please give me my baby back!"

According to Stevens, about the time the ambulance arrived, DJ had thrown up multiple times and began to cry.

At the hospital, DJ told his mother and stepdad about all he had experienced during the short time his body seemed to have no life.

"He looked at me and my husband. He said, 'No, Daddy, no Momma, God is real. I saw Him. I saw Him and Uncle Quimaine,'" Parker recalled, adding that DJ also described hearing angels singing. (Screengrab image: via KLFY 10 News)

The experience was so profound to young DJ that he reportedly told his mother he wants to change his name to "Avir" [Air in Hebrew].

When his mother asked why, she said he told her he was "with God in the air."

Stevens noted that Parker had a closing message for parents: "I feel like everybody, if you have kids [you] need to be CPR certified. Anything can happen in a second. My son didn't have a life vest on and I regret that to this day. So just safety first, and when it comes to God, God is real..." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
