ex-Atheist Ian's Near-Death
Experience
Ian
McCormick's Testimony
Read in Chinese:
|
Standing in front of me was the most awesome sight - I could see a
man standing in front of me, but he was not like anyone I'd ever
seen before in my life. His garments were shimmering white in color
- garments of light - I could see His bare
feet and His hands were outstretched towards
me as if to welcome me. I knew I was looking
upon God … as I looked toward His face the
intensity of the light seemed to increase
7-fold - you couldn't make out the form of
his face as the light was so bright - such
purity, such holiness, such beauty. I asked
God if I could step closer. I felt I could,
I wanted to see His face. Moving closer
waves of more Love began to flow towards me,
and I felt very safe.

Laura Geraghty's NDE |
As she was pulling into the school parking
lot, school bus driver Laura Geraghty began
having sharp stomach pains. She was able to
park her bus, but she kept feeling worse.
The pain "went right up my arm and into my
chest, and I said, 'Uh-oh, I'm having a
heart attack,' " she said.
She remembers watching the scene unfold --
as if from above.
"I floated right out of my body. My body was
here, and I just floated away. I looked back
at it once, and it was there."
Geraghty says she saw deceased loved ones,
her mother and her ex-husband.
"It was very peaceful and light and
beautiful. And I remember like, when you see
someone you haven't seen in a while, you
want to hug them, and I remember trying to
reach out to my ex-husband, and he would not
take my hand. And then they floated away."
Next, she says, she was overwhelmed by
"massive energy, powerful, very powerful
energy."
"When that was happening, there were
pictures of my son and my daughter and my
granddaughter, and every second, their
pictures flashed in my mind, and then I came
back."
What Geraghty had was a near-death
experience, fairly common in people who go
into sudden cardiac arrest.
Geraghty was down for 57 minutes. No blood
pressure, no pulse, no oxygen, no blood
flow. She was shocked 21 times before she
finally came back with tales of the
afterlife.

lifted
him
on

of

Beyond the Darkness |
Angie Fenimore, a wife and mother haunted by
abuse in childhood and overwhelmed by
despair, was in a desperate state of
mind. On January 8, 1991, she committed
suicide, hoping to escape her sense of
emptiness and suffering. But clinical death
didn't draw her to the light seen in so many
near-death experiences. Instead, she found
herself in a realm of darkness. The hell she
experienced was far more horrific and
personal than the old fire-and-brimstone
metaphors. Her hell was a realm of
terrifying visions and profound psychic
disconnection. Her experience
demonstrates the Scriptural mediator ship of
Jesus between us and the Father.

Li Tianen's Near Death Experience |
Li Tianan is one of the older Chinese patriarchs
who is partly responsible for the amazing numbers of Chinese who
have been flocking to Jesus inside China, over a relatively short
period. This is indeed a great "end time" Chinese awakening.
The number of Christians in China could be as high as 80 million
now.
Targeted as an unruly Christian pastor who refused to join the
state approved Chinese Church, Li
was persecuted and then arrested by the
police. He was then assigned by the
Communists to a labor camp in Anhui Province, where he had to
do extremely
arduous labor, such as digging and moving
iron ore. In the same cell where Li Tianen
slept were two prisoners who were assigned
to make sure that Li did not move his lips to pray. If
he did, he was tortured.
Once while working in the ore pit, Li
tumbled 30 feet down an ore heap. He was believed to have been
dead. Li says that while laying there his soul was flying
around the prison camp "like an eagle" observing what was going on.
Li says he was dead for more than 90 minutes, while the camp doctor
worked to revive him. Li had stopped breathing, and he had no
discernible pulse during this time. The doctor already had
ordered other inmates to prepare a grave for Li
Tianen. But suddenly Li opened his eyes. The
doctor seeing that Li opened his eyes, first
asked him who he was.
"I am Li
Tianen" the Chinese pastor replied.
"Do you
believe in God?" the doctor then asked Li.
"Yes, I
do." Li replied.
Amazed at
what he had just witnessed, the doctor said to Li; "I believe in God
now".

A Christian Soldiers
Near Death Experience
by
Roland Dell |
I would "black out"
due to heart failure caused by a piece of plaque.
Immediately before blacking out, I would feel a being lying shoulder
to shoulder with me, (on my right) and see HIM in shadow. I remember
at this point the sound was my last sense to go.
As the Paramedics’ defibrillated my heart (one or two times) the
sound returned in the blackness or void. As I regained consciousness
it was if I was under the street and someone slowly slid open the
manhole cover above me. I could look up and see the Paramedics faces
working on me looking down.
As documented, I said "that feels better" although I only remember
asking if I had a heart attack? I was told not to try and talk, so I
said "being as no one said that I haven’t, I must have!"
The second experience I had was much different... In transport to my
requested hospital my ambulance became stuck in traffic, I could
hear Donny, (my Paramedic) saying that we must get on the highway
and find a different route to a different hospital. I thought to
myself, "This is not good" and only wished I could see outside.
Immediately afterwards I could see a "birds eye view" of my
ambulance moving "in slow motion" towards me, the clarity of that
moment was perfect, I remember seeing everything looking down on the
highway from the tan brick wall abutments to the puddles in the
street.

Ex-Jehovah Witness NDE
by Haydee
Cortes |
I was baptized by the
Jehovah witnesses in 1970. I believed in God but I didn't believe
that Jesus Christ was God. I believed Jesus Christ was a god
created by the true God. I didn't believe in life after death much
less that there was a conscious spirit that would leave the body
when one died. I didn't believe in any kind of miracle healing nor I
believed that God would communicate with people through visions or
dreams. I believed that all kind of healing, miracles and visions
were the work of the devil. I was very loyal to these Jehovah
Witness teachings, and nobody could convince me of the contrary.
I then started going
up. I was aware I didn't have a solid body. I was some kind of
energy force moving at a high speed like in a circular motion. I was
completely conscious. I knew I was me and I had all my memories with
me. I knew I had left the earth. I found myself in a pitch
black place.

Jim Wilhelm's "Heaven Testimony" |
As I was traveling through the light, I was laying flat on my
back and could see the faint outline of this image, which appeared
to be very softly speaking to me, but I could not understand any of
the words, but somehow I was profoundly comforted by him. My trip
through this light seemed to be very short, then suddenly I found
myself lying in the tallest bright green grass I had ever seen . As
I looked around I noticed that all the colors were absolutely pure
and very bright. I was laying down, as I noticed the blades of grass
were at least four feet high and about six inches wide.
Looking to my right where the river came from, there was a
beautiful stone built wall that was about one half mile high. It was
about 200 yards away from where I was standing by the river.
Beautiful music appeared to be coming from behind the wall. It
reminds me of how it sounds directly outside Yankee Stadium during a
sold out baseball game, only, behind the Heavenly wall there were
people talking, and also people worshiping, and the sound of people
speaking and worshiping in Heaven is much more pure than anything
here on earth. The colors everywhere were extremely magnificent (I
cannot stress that enough) and beyond any description one could ever
believe. I approached the wall but could not see inside of it. It
sounded like thousands, maybe even millions of people were
worshiping within these walls, so I knew I was not alone.

Jesus mediates with God
-
the Father for Valvita!
|
With this reassuring look He
(Jesus) led me to one side. He stepped away from me and went alone into
the Light. Where Christ's light ended and God the Father's began, I
cannot say. They both gave off light and their light was the same light!
I will never forget this as long as I live. When Christ stepped away
from me, he turned sideways and stretched out his arms as a bridge. One
arm extended to me and one to the Father. His arms were extended as if
they were making a cross and a bridge to cross over.

6 BIG BIG BIG
-
Angels
|
4 1/2 year old Victoria
says she was carried to heaven by 6
BIG angels --after
falling off the top stair of a slide.
However,
during this moment in eternity, she was taken to
the throne room of God. She was sent back and
tells about her experience from the perspective
of a child.
During an accident by the pool, Mary Jo's
granddaughter, Victoria, saw heaven and then was
supernaturally protected from being hurt. She
saw people in heaven and aborted babies and knew
details of how some of the people in heaven had
died. Very comforting for those who have lost
loved ones.
Describing
God's Throne Victoria said; "It was "BIG!
HUGE!" It was "shine bright and golden and very,
very shiny." It was
fiery, it had lots of fire, with lot of smoke
around it. A huge rainbow around it was shine
bright... and there was light bugs makin'
streaks in the rainbow."
When she told us about going into the throne
room with Jesus she tried to describe Him to us.
Apparently, Jesus and God look a lot alike.
His eyes were white,
blue and red and like fire just like God's eyes.
She described His hair, "His hair was white and
all colors. It was shine white and almost like
fire... like his fire eyes. Sorta like God's.
"He had a big rainbow around Him too."
When Jesus started to approach God's Throne, the
big rainbow surrounding Him touched the huge
rainbow surrounding God.
They merged with "sparks, and twinkling" like
fireworks in colors more brilliant than anything
Victoria could describe.

The terrible, terrible lake of
fire
Athet Pyan
Shinthaw Paulu's story:
I learned later that I actually
died for three days. My body decayed and stunk of death, and
my heart stopped beating. My body was prepared for cremation
and was put through traditional Buddhist purification rites.
The king of hell told me to look into the lake of fire. I looked and
I saw the saffron colored robes that Buddhist monks wear in Myanmar.
I looked closer and saw the shaven head of a man. When I looked at
the man's face I saw it was U Zadila Kyar Ni Kan Sayadaw [the famous
monk who had died in a car accident in 1983]. I asked the king of
hell why my former leader was confined to this lake of torment. I
said, "Why is he in this lake of fire? He was a very good teacher.
He even had a teaching tape called 'Are You a Man or a Dog?' which
had helped thousands of people understand that their worth as humans
is far greater than the animals." The king of hell replied, "Yes, he
was a good teacher but he did not believe in Jesus Christ. That's
why he is in hell."
I was told to look at another person who was in the fire. I saw a
man with very long hair wrapped on the left hand side of his head.
He was also wearing a robe. I asked the king of hell, "Who is this
man?" He replied, "This is the one you worship: Gautama [Buddha]." I
was very disturbed to see Gautama in hell. I protested, "Gautama had
good ethnics and good moral character, why is he suffering in this
lake of fire?" The king of hell answered me, "It doesn't matter how
good he was. He is in this place because he did not believe in the
Eternal God."

In 1991 Pam Reynolds underwent an

all; thus ruling out any possible chemical or psychological
hallucinations. Pam still went to "the other side".

My descent
into death
by Howard Storm
See Howard tell his
story on video
here
Or, see this video at
YouTube
here |
An atheist,
Howard Storm was lying in a Paris Hospital in 1985 - dying from a
perforated stomach. His stomach acids were leaching into his other
organs. Suddenly he was standing up in a surreal brightly lit
hospital room. He tried to talk with his wife and a fellow
patient, but they both ignored him. Off in the distance, outside
the room in the hall he heard voices calling: "Howard", "Howard".
Come out here the voices said, Let's go, hurry up". We've been
waiting for you a long time. He stepped out into the hallway and
could see these people off in the distance. He could tell they
were male and female, tall and short, old and young adults. He
followed them feeling very much alive. Every time he hesitated
they demanded that he keep up. These people kept telling him if he
would follow them his troubles would end. A fog surrounded him,
and it got gradually darker as he shuffled along behind them.
These people became increasingly angry and sarcastic with Howard.
He now felt he was being forced by an angry mob of unfeeling people to
an unknown destination. They next began shouting and hurling
insults at Howard. The more miserable Howard became, the more
enjoyment they derived from his distress.

cross over just yet and they are the ones that are seen as ghosts.
Anyway I was drawn towards them until a light came flying towards me, it
was a bird; the bird symbol of peace to be exact. Its light guided me
towards an even brighter light that felt welcoming. When the brightness
cleared I could see a line of steps with angels on either side singing
some song I could not make out.

Experience
A

I arrived in an
explosion of glorious light into a room with
insubstantial walls, standing before a man
about in his thirties, about six feet tall,
reddish brown shoulder length hair and an
incredibly neat, short beard and mustache.
He wore a simple white robe. Light seemed to
emanate from him and I felt he had great age
and wisdom. He welcomed me with great love,
tranquility, and peace (indescribable)
- no words. I felt, "I can sit at your feet
forever and be content," which struck me as
a strange thing to think/say/feel. I became
fascinated by the fabric of his robe, trying
to figure out how light could be woven!

Pastor Yong Thang's Testimony |
Christian Pastor Yong Thang is a
member of the Chin tribe in Myanmar (Burma).
He wrote:
I looked down and saw my body
lying beside my wife. It was completely a
lifeless corpse! I was well aware that my body
had died. Suddenly, I saw large demons coming
from all directions. They gathered around my bed
and stared at my body. I then looked towards the
sky and shouted, “Angels! Please protect my body
immediately.” Thank God that although I had
never known how angels looked like, they
appeared when I shouted. Five angels came down
immediately from heaven to guard my body. At the
same time, the demons, which gathered around my
body, disappeared instantly I suddenly
remembered what was mentioned in the Bible ‘Are
they not all ministering spirits sent forth to
minister to those who will inherit salvation’
(Hebrews 1:14).
After that, I looked what was
ahead of me. I saw a place burning with large
flames of fire.

"Thomas Welch Story"
An Oregon
Lumberjack |
Thomas Welch
tells how he, while working as a lumberjack in Portland,
Oregon, slipped and fell into a creek and found himself
crushed by giant logs. It took workers more than an hour to
find his body and pull it out from between the logs. Not
seeing any signs of life, the workers concluded that he was
dead. Thomas, meanwhile, in a temporary state of death,
found himself on the shores of boundless flaming ocean. He
was frozen by fear of the fiery sulfur rushing towards him.
This was the fiery Gehenna that cannot be described in
words. There, on the shore of the fiery Gehenna, he
recognized the faces of a few people who had died before
him. All of them stood in absolute horror of the rolling
fiery surges. Thomas knew that there was no chance of
leaving this place. He began to regret that he had
previously shown so little concern for his salvation.
Oh, if only he
had known what awaited him, he would have lived very
differently. Then he noticed someone walking in the
distance. The face of the stranger showed great strength and
goodness. Thomas understood that this was the Lord and that
only he could save his soul, condemned to Gehenna.

Stanley Wilson's NDE |
When
a friend and I were teenagers we were sniffing
lighter fluid in my friend's barn; it was a very
dangerous thing to do. Chickens walked in and
then out, one walked back in and said, " Dusty
you'd better quit that". I said Dusty did you
hear that? He said, Yes that chicken said "Dusty
you'd better quit that". We both dropped our
lighter fluid cans and ran out. Man was God
watching us that day!
I looked around in the great big room while
still hanging onto the edge of the floor, off to
the right and front of me about 10 feet away was
a wide and long table. At the end of the table
closest to me was a man sitting in a throne type
chair; he was clothed in a white robe. I was to
his back left side, I could see his dark wavy
brown hair shine, it was a mahogany color and it
came down to his shoulders. Also, I saw his
pronounced nose from my backside angle realizing
the Middle Eastern influence, of course I
already knew who he was and is, the only
begotten son of God JESUS CHRIST. He never
looked around at me, but I knew he was aware of
me.

Elizabeth sees the face of God
(the Lord Jesus) |
As I continued
to walk, I saw movement ahead. When I got closer, I could see there were
people in the field ahead. I felt relieved. Finally, I could get some
answers. I moved swiftly, directly toward them. As I approached the
group, I realized how large it was. There were so many people of all
ages. No one appeared to be talking; instead, they were pacing about, as
if they were anticipating something or someone.
Suddenly, the group,
including myself, slowly began to lift off the ground. I immediately
gasped, terrified, my feet hovered about a foot above ground level.
They were no longer touching the field below. I wondered how this
could be.
I wondered what kind of
trick this was. Then before I could scream, we began to ascend
quickly, higher, and higher into the night sky at a rapid speed. I
was frozen with fear, wondering what had a hold of me (since the
last time I checked, humans couldn’t fly). I soon realized that
nothing had me, and that it was I, along with the group, physically
ascending toward the clouds.
Once when I was eating
dinner, I turned to a TV special on the Shroud. It was the
first time I had ever seen the image close up. I nearly dropped my
plate when the outline of the image took on a familiar resemblance.

13 yr old David Goines
is hit by a cement truck |
Quickly, I
turned, took one step through the wall so to speak and found myself in
total darkness. I looked back - nothing but darkness! Before I could
barely think, "Now I've done it!," I apparently took another step; and I
was instantly in the most beautiful garden I have ever seen. This garden
was like a formal terrace which had been carved out of a rough mountain,
just a few feet below the peak. Everything was white marble and
evergreen. The air was so incredibly light and clear and fresh and cool.
It seemed like I was breathing pure chilled oxygen. The garden was
trimmed in evergreen shrubs, each a perfect specimen; and the fragrance
of evergreen lightly scented the air. This place seemed so perfect in
every detail. Directly in front of me, just a few steps away, was a
marble bench which seemed to invite me to come, sit, and rest.
My heavenly Father has
such a profound love for me and all of his children, for that
matter, that I was offered through his son Jesus the opportunity to
come back to him right then.

NDE of David Perry in 1762 |
This
is a true story as written by Captain Perry
himself. It shows that near death
occurrences have probably been happening all
throughout history
Captain David Perry,
lived from 1741-1826.
In 1762, when this Near Death experience
happened to him (probably as a result of
typhus), he was a young
sergeant serving with
the British forces in
the French and Indian
War. Later, during the

Colin's NDE |
Also when I was a small boy I was
taken to Hell. I was made to watch big guards with spears herding people before
a magistrate who was sitting on a throne. One by one the people stood in front
of the magistrate and he read out their crimes from a scroll. Then the guards
took hold of the person and threw them off the cliff into the fiery lake. There
were lots of people in the lake and they didn't die, they just writhed around in
agony. They held up their arms and their flesh was dripping off them. Many years
later I saw an oil painting of the exact same Hell. Everything was the same in
every detail. It was obvious that someone else had seen the same Hell I had
seen. So I knew it was not just me..

Sister
Josefa Menendez-description of Hell |
Sister Josefa was a Spanish
Catholic nun
of the Society of the Sacred Heart and lived only four years as a religious, at
the convent of Les Feuillants in Poitiers, France, where she died at the age of
33. She lived from 1890-1923.
The devil is a reality,
and in his dealings with God's saints he shows himself in the undisguised
perversity of his vicious and corrupt nature. What must his cruelty be to those
souls that are damned and are his for ever, if he is so pitiless with those over
whom, after all, he has but limited sway?
The devil tried by every possible means to delude and beguile her, disguising
himself as an "angel of light", even going so far as to assume the very features
of Jesus Christ Himself. Most often however, he tried to turn her from her
chosen path by inflicting on her grievous bodily harm.
At times Sister
Menendez was violently snatched away from the chapel, or prevented
from entering it. Again and again the devil appeared to her in the
guise of a terrifying dog, snake, or worse still, in human form.
Soon the forcible
abductions became more frequent, in spite of the supervision
exercised by Superiors. Under their very eyes she suddenly
disappeared, and after long search would be found thrown into some
loft, or beneath heavy furniture, or in some unfrequented spot. In
their presence she was burnt, and without seeing the devil, they saw
her clothes consumed and on her body unmistakable traces of fire,
which caused wounds that took long to heal.
God permitted
the devil to take Sister Menendez down to hell. There she spent long
hours, sometimes a whole night, in unspeakable agony.
Then Our Lord
showed her the treasures of reparation and expiation she had gained
by her repeated ordeals (6th October 1922 and 5th November 1922),
and allowed her to witness in hell the devil's bursts of fury, when
there escaped him souls of whom he thought he had a firm hold, but
for whom she was offering expiation. The thought that she could
console and rest Our Lord and gain souls for Him kept up her heroic
spirit and excited her zeal.

Maria's NDE |
My name is Maria G Rodriguez and I
had an out-of-body experience when I was young. One afternoon I came home from
school and I decided to eat a little snack. I ate and felt tired so I went to
the bedroom and laid down. I fell asleep and all of the sudden I felt my body
being lifted up and I realized I was floating.
I looked on my right and I saw
another "spirit" sitting next to me but when I looked at its face it was covered
with smoke. I looked around and I saw "other spirits" sitting in pairs and their
faces are also covered in smoke.
Then all of a sudden, I started to go up and up. I was so high up
that I could actually feel the clouds on my face and skin. I felt so at peace. I
stopped and I saw the tunnel with the bright lights at the end of it. I started
to walk towards the lights and as I was walking I felt the peace and serenity of
the place. I wanted to stay there forever and I never wanted to leave.

Greek Orthodox
The Journey Beyond Death |
According to the teachings of the
Church, the particular judgment of souls by God is preceded by their torments,
or rather a series of tests; these take place in the regions of the air, where
evil spirits have their domain (Eph. 6. 12). They detain the souls and declare
and make manifest all the sins which these souls perpetrated during their lives.
We know about these torments in great detail because they were revealed to
Gregory, the disciple of the holy monk St. Basil the New, who lived in the first
half of the Tenth century. Gregory in his vision learned about the hour of death
and the passing through torments of a woman known as the blessed Theodora.
When Gregory asked her to tell him about her passing away and about the
circumstances that attended her death and followed it, she told him in great
detail the following. “My child Gregory,” she said, “you have asked me about a
terrible thing, which it is frightening even to recollect”.
“When the hour of my death came, I saw faces such as I had never seen before,
and heard words such as I had never heard. What shall I say? Cruel and hard to
endure evils, of which I formerly had no idea, encountered me then because of my
evil deeds. However, through the prayers and the assistance of our common
spiritual father Basil I was saved from these hardships. But how shall I tell
you about that physical pain, that stress and close feeling which the dying
experience? Like a man who, entirely naked, falls into a great fire, burns,
melts, and turns into ashes; so the dying are destroyed by their deathly illness
in the bitter hour when the soul departs from the body.”

A Chinese Woman Went to Heaven and Returned |
Another person who died, went to
heaven, saw much of the glories of the golden city and returned to tell of its
splendor, was a Chinese woman of Shan Tung Province, North China. This
experience occurred in connection with the missionary activities of Miss Louisa
Vaughan and is related in her book of remarkable miracles, "Answered or
Unanswered", pages 42-46, from which we quote:
Lord Jesus came into my room and took
me by the hand and said, 'Come with me!' In a short time we were before a gate
of pearl. It was the gate of Heaven. Angels opened it and we went in. I saw many
beautiful houses all of pretty colors. I walked beside the Lord on the golden
streets. Miss Vaughan, I was so glad you had told me to unbind my feet; I would
have been so ashamed to walk beside my Savior with little feet.
"Then we went on and
I saw thousands of angels in a circle, singing and playing lovely music. In the
midst was the throne of glory. The Heavenly Father sat upon it, and when I saw
Him I was afraid. I hardly dared to lift my eyes'.
" 'You have come', He
said.
" 'Yes, Lord.'
" 'You may go back
for a while, but you must return to me here on the twelfth of the month'.
