Experience Description

I was given a drug that was laced with fentanyl. I knew immediately afterwards that I was going to die.

I fell backwards and continued falling for what seemed like forever. I saw glimpses of my life from the very beginning and only visions of everything I had ever done wrong. I kept falling until I found myself in the middle of the city where I was born. It looked like the city had been hit by a bomb and I was the only person there. I had an overwhelming feeling that I was in Hell. I had been shown the reasons why God sent me to Hell while I was falling. I knew that I had caused myself this outcome and I knew it was too late to change.

Then suddenly I was back in my body and I was alive! I was so excited and grateful for God blessing me with this wake up call. I have gone from questioning if God existed; to sharing this story with others in hope of it changing other people's lives. I was shown that if I didn't get my life together now, I would spend eternity suffering in Hell. Heaven has to exist because I know for sure that I've been to hell. I know I never want to spend eternity living alone with nothing but my mistakes and guilt holding me down.
