Experience Description

It was like a dream where I could not feel anything. I was floating near the ceiling of the hospital room and at first did not realize I was looking down on myself in the bed. Then I recognized my wife and Brian standing beside the bed as this light, that was so bright that it was was blazing at me from behind. I turned around and went into the light. The light was so bright that there is nothing on this earth that could match it. The sky and clouds were beautiful. I saw green pastures on the other side. The tall grass was so green and swaying from the nice breeze. There was a place like a shared area, so I approached it. As I drew closer, there was Jesus Christ! He gave me a choice to go with him now or go back to be with my family and to help them. As he was asking me for my answer, I saw a vision of myself looking down at my wife and Brian. I was not ready to go yet, so I made the choice to go back. He let me know that I will be with him again.

I felt this so strongly there is no doubt and made sure I will never forget it later on down the road. I changed my whole life around. I have been sober after being a major alcoholic for almost 21 years. I don't do drugs either. I smoke cigarettes and I drink coffee, but that's my only crutch. I no longer have a need to be on Medicare or be numb. I have powerful insight. I believe that God healed me in many areas of my life. I am also super sensitive. My pasture of our church told me. I have very powerful spiritual sight and spiritual ears to hear with.
