The Story
Joanna Oblander was a mother of six in her mid-40s suffering from 15 years of severe migraines and deep suicidal depression caused by stress from family, business, and health issues. She prayed to God that she was done with life and planned to end it the next day but fell asleep instead. An angel, later known as her grandfather, appeared and pulled her spirit from her body. They traveled quickly through a clear conduit tunnel past galaxies to a familiar heavenly complex of rooms. She saw transparent walls revealing classrooms where souls learned about earthly experiences like migraines and cystic fibrosis to grow closer to God. Her memories of pre-existence returned, showing unity and love. She observed God welcoming her and her future husband Greg to a private meeting. God held her hands, showed her entire life, and asked her to accept a difficult mission on Earth with His help. She felt trepidation but agreed, bathed in His love, then the angel returned her to her body. She awoke still in pain and depressed but determined to complete her mission. Later, she was healed from migraines, adopted two children from Russia as guided, wrote a book about her experience, and now helps people with depression by sharing that everyone has a divine purpose and God's support.
