'The Impossible': This teen fell into an icy lake, had no pulse for 45 minutes and survived

John Smith fell into a frozen lake. He was underwater for 15 minutes. He had no pulse for 45 minutes. And yet, he’s alive and shared his incredible story on Good Day LA.

Mother prayed
Patient came back to life"

i just went an watched breakthrough about a week ago with my friends. we had all seen the trailer before hand and weren’t really concerned for anything. the movie had such an impact on so many people at the movie theater. (yes i started crying at the end when they showed the pictures.) i felt a beautiful feeling walking out of that theater, like there are, in fact, miracles on this earth. if you’re reading this, have a good day :))

The power of prayer is real! God showed his Mercy on this family. What's next for this family, I can only imagine...?

[ashnikfield]

What a strong boy ❤️ This proves God is not dead! HE IS ALIVE! I just watched Break Through, which is the movie based on this boys experience and it was amazing!!!

[Blessed-hn]

This man is one of God's truly anointed. The story that he shared about the child who came back to life is a testament of the power of faith and prayer, and how God is still working miracles today. What a powerful message!

[Bmedina]

The fact that this happened literally 15 minutes from where I live... Crazy.

This is a movie called breakthrough and it’s amazing

Ugh this hits a little too close to home. When I was 4 years old I was diagnosed with 2 neurological diseases that attacked my spinal chord and my brain. I was quadriplegic (paralyzed) and every doctor said my long term prognosis was that I would be able to roll myself over in bed. But, here I am 18 years later with every vital organ working, every bone moving, and now trying to chase my dreams of becoming an audio production major. This is a testimony of how God works. Its been a long road, and it only seems to be getting longer. But not everyone can say they were given a second chance. God bless!

I met him and he is so strong. The story is jaw dropping and amazing. God does great things!!

I just finished the movie "Breakthrough". I was shocked. John, you are truely a living maricle. And I just want to say that I was bawling with tears, praying that something magical would happen and it did. This felt like a replica of what really happened to my little brother. My mom prayed and fought for him then finally surrendered and asked for "just 2 more years, just two more years and i will be okay, please god, just two more years." And it has been 8 years. He is healthy but still has heart problems

Just watched the movie last night, it was indeed a breakthrough. I have a friend who is in the same situation now. 24 days in the ICU. Please pray for him
I believe we are serving the same God.

John is so well spoken. He is such a trooper and he shows that you should always have faith in yourself. He didn’t worry about himself dying, but he worried about the people around him. God bless John and his family! ❤️

[MsSleddawg]

I have seen a few miracles myself, so I really appreciate this one!! Thanks for sharing John!! Love the Angels!!! And the Light!!

[cheyenneswonke]

I watched breakthrough about two weeks ago... if you plan on going to watch it make sure to bring tissues

[adamfigueroa]

Bro same that happens to me I got in a motorcycle accident and they declared me dead but god give me a miracle

[PrettyBae]

After seeing this movie, I was crying from when the mom prayed till it ended. I went on my knees and thanked God for my life on earth. I am a living testimony of God's miracle, I was once rushed to the hospital on emergency and the doctors said my heartbeat has stopped but through God's mercy I was given a second chance to live. No matter what we face in life, God never left, He is always by our side. He said He will show mercy on whom He chooses to show mercy. I love God so much and I have never regretted knowing Him.

[theskyesummers]

This has given me a whole new belief for God. Glory to God! We thank you so much for everything you have done for us. Amen!

[amashekathompson]

THANK YOU JESUS!!! THIS IS PROOF THAT GOD EXIST AND THAT THE HOLY GHOST IS REAL!!!

[JulioPrietoRivera]

I saw Breakthrough today and his story is beautiful. It’s real miracle.

[lQueenBl]

Breakthrough was an amazing movie. It shows you the power of prayer. God brought him back to life so that he could fulfill his purpose. It’s amazing that he is now going into the ministry to spread the word of God. May God continue to bless you, John ♥️
