The Story
The person, a believer in Jesus Christ, experienced a near-death event due to sepsis from a kidney stone infection. After the stone was blasted, poison entered his bloodstream, causing his lungs to fail and suffocation. During the NDE, his spirit left his body before it died, traveling faster than light to heaven. He entered a bright light, feeling complete rightness and acceptance. A path opened through a colorful forest where trees announced he was going to see the King. He approached Jesus on hands and knees, thanked him repeatedly for salvation, and felt personal love from Jesus' feet and eyes. He observed light from Jesus' head for healing and a changing face. Jesus told him it was not his time and to go back. He explored heaven, communicating with beings offering service, seeing living water, buildings, and joining worship at God's throne where Jesus merged with the Father. He saw his shining family with joy. Hovering over his body, he re-entered as doctors revived him. After recovery, he gained a deeper sense of God's growing love, forgiveness for all, and heaven's reality, sharing his testimony to affirm Jesus' existence and encourage faith.
“Father and Jesus in heaven. I always say the Father and Jesus in heaven, because I always had a desire to be with God”
