Near-Death Experience and Spiritual Revelation

My heart stopped, and I was clinically dead for 38 minutes.

A staircase appeared to my right of where I was

laying, and there was angels on that staircase on both sides,

and a figure came down the center of it, and that figure was Jesus.

He looked a little bit like a picture that we had in our church,

but his hair wasn't long.

It was very short and curly, and his beard was very well trimmed,

and I knew it was Jesus because I could see the scars in his hands

when he took me by my hand and lifted me up out of my body.

And I was flying over this meadow, this green meadow,

and I could smell honey and fresh bread so strong,

and I was taken and stood in front of this big gold door.

It was so pure, it was transparent.

Well, all of a sudden, this door just flew open by itself,

and this intense light poured out of it.

I could see the bones in my hands kind of light. I

heard these words,

Depart from me, you worker of iniquity, for I have never known you.

And in an instant, an angel on my left and an angel on my right jerked me up out of there,

and the peace that I was feeling while I was there was just destroyed.

And they carried me across this dark chasm and just dropped me.

It was dark, but you could see.

The stench was so bad it smelled like rotten flesh,

but the fire was so hot that you could feel the skin bubbling up and running off and your flesh just melting and hanging off your bones.

But when you looked down, there wasn't nothing wrong with it.

So it could keep burning, and you could keep feeling that sensation all the time, and there was no relief from it.

And I wasn't standing on the floor.

It was people, other people, and these people were clawing at my legs and biting at my feet

and my legs trying to pull themselves out from under the people that was on top of them.

And the whole time, people were being dropped in from above.

It's like nobody's making it into heaven.

I know that there were some folks getting in, but not nearly as many as you'd think,

because there was a lot of them going into hell.

And then all of a sudden, every single time that God had presented himself to me in church,

that I had felt the Holy Spirit tug at my heart and try to draw me up to the front to the altar to get saved,

every single time the Lord had dealt with me started playing like a bad movie.

I could hear the Holy Spirit calling me.

And I knew that all I had to have done was just said yes and went and prayed, and I wouldn't be in this awful place that I was in now.

But when I finally made it to the wall and I got up away from the things, the people that were biting and clawing at me, this

huge, huge demon, the thing must have been 30 feet tall,

cracked me with a whip,

crossed my back, felt like it was going to split me in half and knock me right off the wall, right back down into the pit.

All of a sudden, I could hear it off in the distance.

I could hear a voice, Father, please let me go get him.

Let me go get him.

I know he'll change, Father. I know he'll do what we need him to do.

God, just please, Father, let me go get him.

And then all of a sudden, this light started coming from toward heaven, because you can see heaven from hell.

You can see it.

You can see what you're missing out on, which makes it that much worse.

And this light starts coming from heaven, and I mean it's coming at a quick pace.

I raised my hand up, and Jesus pulled me out of that pit.

Demons were screaming.

Souls that were there in hell were screaming. Everything was screaming and getting out of his way because,

well, he's the boss.

And he took me up, and over that green meadow we went again.

We was moving faster and faster and faster.

same way we come.

We got back down to the operating room and I was standing there beside Jesus and I could see the doctors doing CPR on my body.

Well, Jesus picked me up and I could feel so much love,

so much love from him.

And he laid me down on myself, putting me back in my body I guess.

And he kissed me on my cheek and he told me, go tell the world what you have seen.

Tell everybody who will listen. Now go and do our Father's work. Go.

Two days later I woke up in intensive care unit.

Confess your sins to God,

ask for forgiveness through the sacrifice of the blood of Jesus Christ,

and then get up and live by the example that Jesus set for us.

That's just how simple it is.

It's not hard.

Folks, make it harder than it

is because they think everything's got to be about me, me, me, me.

Folks, it ain't about you. It's about what God wants from you.
