Experience Description

Just another cold January day in 1998, receiving another series of allergy injections for wasps. I didn't expect anything out of the ordinary, but then no one ever does. I had already received desensitizing injections for a bee allergy for four years and had recently started on the wasp injections. The doctors were humoring me since the wasp allergy didn't register on the series of allergy testing, however, I am certain that a previous sting that lead to severe anaphylactic shock was from a wasp sting. That day I received an injection that contained a thirty-three percent dose of venom of a wasp sting. Within minutes, with no physicians in attendance, I went into anaphylactic shock and coded. This is where my life-altering story begins.

This was the most painful experience I had ever encountered. I was feeling every system in my body shutting down. My throat was closing; heart was racing, excruciating pain circulating throughout my body. Before losing consciousness, with eyes open, I was blinded by a bright light. The pain ceased and a warmth came over me. From that point forward, I remember nothing in the human form but only that of spirit. I was taken to a place of torture, which to the world of the living is known as hell. I knew this was my destiny. I was conscious of a feeling of solitude and darkness. This was a place of no rest, gnashing of teeth. I thought I knew what it was to lead a good life, what it took to get into heaven. The end was here, for eternity.

Out of the darkness came a light and it was God. I felt his overwhelming presence, a safety I've never known before, a love so great that He chose to save me from the fiery death. Something I knew I did not deserve. Who was I to receive this grace? He sent me back to the flesh to tell others the truth before it's too late.

When returning home from the hospital life was different, everything had changed. I saw the world for what it really was, vile and not of God. It made me nauseous. My marriage to an alcoholic wife was brought into full view, my 60-70 hour job, as a car dealership service director, ranked in the top one percent of the nation, suddenly meant nothing. The next year and a half I struggled with my marriage, job, drug and other addictions, while seeking out God's plan for my life. I felt isolated. I was not part of any church, had no Christian friends and didn't know where to turn.

While on my ranch, God intervened. He told me to place a life size cross on the hill in my hay field, which is at the rear of the ranch, which I did on a rainy, spring day. This was my place of meditation and worship and my struggle for the truth began.

In the summer of 1998, I had an encounter with a fortuneteller. Although I now realize that they are the hand of Satan, she told me truths that could not be denied. Among other things, she told me of my past death experiences, that I would never die again and that I had thousands of angels at my side, with a look of astonishment on her face. She informed me that in the year 2000 I would drop everything I was doing and come to someone's side.

At that moment, of course I was thinking in earthly terms and assumed it would be one of my parents, but I realize now that it was the Lord she was referring to. That incident wouldn't leave my mind. I started thinking about how many times God had tried to get my attention and I ignored Him. The following are witnessed events that at the time they occurred should have dropped me to my knees, but in my worldly self, I labeled unlucky.

Spring 1982 spinal meningitis age twenty-two - woke up with severe headache and nausea, unable to open eyes due to pain. Trip to Plymouth Emergency Room and transferred to South Bend Hospital due to early diagnosis of aneurysm. Admitted to South Bend Hospital with spinal pressure at three times that of normal human, high fever, partial paralysis, on my left side. I was there for a week. I was heavily sedated, critical condition, chance of survival slim.

Summer 1984 while on maneuvers in northern Michigan with army reserves. Bitten by poisonous snake. Was unable to treat with antidote due to unknown type of snake. Airlifted by helicopter to a mash unit for observation for three days while in and out of consciousness.

1990 I acquired a death allergy to wasp stings only a handful of people in the world have a death allergy to insects, most are foods or food dyes.

Summer 1991 - while working on farm cleaning out old buildings, a wasp stung me. Went into severe anaphylactic shock, which resulted in unconsciousness, closing of airway and shutdown of bodily functions. After a thirteen mile drive to the hospital, I was resuscitated in the emergency room.

Summer 1994 - while working on the farm I was stung by a bee and suffered a severe reaction. Proceeded to undergo allergy testing which determined an allergy to bees. Started to undergo four years of allergy desensitizing injections for bees.

Returning to my struggle in 1998, the next year and a half was a time of trials and tribulations. My marriage was deteriorating rapidly in spite of counseling, and the pressure for performance at work was beyond what I was able to give. I was seeking God with daily visits to my sanctuary on the hill but was still struggling to make sense of it all.
