The book, ‘Heaven Is Closer Than You Think’ is written by Dawn Cypret and it is about the Christmas miracle that revived her from the dead.
In December, 2011, Dawn Cypret went to see her doctor about a burning pain in her throat. Blood test results were taken and from there she went on to do some Christmas shopping.
Just as she came home the doctor called her and told her the tests revealed very serious health conditions and she was asked to call an ambulance immediately, because she was about to have a heart attack. .
Dawn did as instructed. As the ambulance rushed her to the hospital , Dawn and her husband Mike both prayed desperately, asking God for a miracle.
At the hospital doctors discovered four of her arteries were almost completely blocked, and she would need quadruple bypass surgery.
Christmas was just a week away when dawn went in for surgery. Friends and family prayed fervently for her.
Surgery went as planned and Dawn was taken to recovery. But five hours later, she flat lined and was rushed back into surgery where she died on the table.
They called in a pastor to pray for her. Then, miraculously after, Dawn had been dead for 20 minutes, without any medical explanation, her heart started beating again.
Two days later, on Christmas Eve, Dawn was alert and talking and she told everyone what she experienced those twenty minutes she was dead. She had been to Heaven and seen Jesus.
Soon Dawn recovered fully enough to be discharged from the hospital. Many called her ‘The Christmas Miracle’ and her miraculous story of revival and survival is captured in her book, ‘Heaven Is Closer Than You Think’.

Indeed Heaven is closer than many of us think. The birth of Jesus has brought the miracles and possibilities of Heaven closer to us. We no longer have to agree with the negative conditions of life on the earth, rather through the power of Christ we can experience the miracles we desire.
Sometimes, there may be situations that could seem overwhelming and it may look as if there is no way out of it. There could be negative conditions that may appear insurmountable and inescapable.
But then, no matter how dark the night, the coming of Christ into the world has brought to us the light that shatters every darkness.
Anytime it seems you are locked in and there seems to be no way, always know there is a way out through Christ. Jesus says ‘I am the way, the truth and the life’.
Jesus is our way maker and light in the darkness.
Through the power of Christ we can locate our way out of every tight situation and experience healing and deliverance from every affliction.
The goodness that Christ brought into the world is what we celebrate in this season of Christmas. His birth has indeed made all the difference for us.
Through the power of Christ we can experience divine rescue and inexplicable miracles that beats sense and logic.
Therefore, whatever negative thing you may be faced with, never get discouraged or think that it is the end of the journey. No enemy can have the final say over you. Sickness, disease, poverty or lack cannot have the final say. Jesus has paid the price for us to experience continual victory.
No matter how gross the darkness, as long as you can believe, the glory of the Lord will arise and change the story.
In this season, let us continually give God worthy praise for the gift of the divine possibilities we now have through Christ.
And as we celebrate His birth, let us deliberately desire definite gifts of miracles from Heaven. It is certainly our season to see wonders, inexplicable blessings, unmerited favors, healings and grace for speedy accomplishments. In our family, health, finances and all areas, we shall experience definite and tangible proof of the victories that the birth of Christ has ushered into the world.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for giving us the amazing gift of Your son Jesus Christ. Please help me to experience my own tangible miracles of wonders in this season. Thank You Lord for all You are set to do in my life in Jesus Name.
