The Story
The experiencer, Steve Boils, was in a medically induced coma due to COVID complications. During this time, he had a near-death experience. He met an angel named Marzuka, who told him that his spirit never sleeps and took him to heaven. Steve described seeing beautiful scenes in space and arriving at a welcome center in heaven. He encountered loved ones, including his deceased family members and pets, all looking young and healthy. After the experience, Steve felt a strong desire to share his story and the reality of heaven. He gained a new perspective on life and emphasized the importance of faith and accepting Jesus to reach heaven.
