The Story

nde medical crisis very_positive Significant Transformation 10/10 Intensity

Dean Braxton was a Christian who died from sepsis. His heart stopped for an hour and 45 minutes. During this time, he experienced leaving his body and traveling towards a bright light. He felt peace and joy as he entered heaven, where he met Jesus and felt immense love. He also saw family members who had passed away, including his grandmother and aunt. After this experience, Dean returned to life with a new understanding of God's love and a mission to help others relate to God personally. He now emphasizes that God's love is individual and that everyone is accepted in heaven.

“it was thought to thought I knew I was talking to the Holy Spirit and I knew I was talking to the father at the same time I just knew it wasn't like I Jesus I'm telling you this information now go tell your father about it and make sure the Holy Spirit hears what I'm just saying it was more of when I knew I was”
