an interesting topic for you! And that is,

what happens when you die? Now, this is one hundred percent proof,

from the mouth of NDEs which are Near Death Experience cases.

And I am going to get into detail and I am going to share a couple of stories about that.

But 100 percent true about what happens when you die, at least from the

mouths of some involved. Now,

I have been reading this book it is called,

“The Supernatural Worldview” by Chris Putnan

and it recently came out.

Anyhow, I really enjoyed it and I found some great insights

on it. I am not done reading it yet, but I have started on it,

and I just want to share with you, some of those stories

from this book and I will leave a link at the bottom if you want to check that out.

But oftentimes, people are left with a question:

What happens at the end of life? What happens when you die?

All religions tend to claim they have an answer - you have reincarnation as an answer,

you have the atheist view - where you just die and that is it. [Chuckles]

And then you have the Christian answer which is you die and there is a Heaven,

and there is the Hell, which is what I believe.

And which is what I know is real, but we are going to take

the advise of near-death experiences and then make our conclusion.

And I think you will be amazed by it. And then you also have the other side

where everybody goes to Heaven!

All paths lead to Heaven! Is that really the case?

And that is the question that I want to address today, but the first

near-death experience and these are people who have basically died,

or almost died, or left their body

during surgery, or walked down a tunnel, or saw Heaven, or saw Hell.

Something happened to these people, when they came back,

they had an amazing story and there are a lot of links that can be seen.

So anyway, the first story that I want to just read to you,

again I am going to read it straight from this book, is this Kimberly Clark story and it is about...

...she was one of the workers in the hospital

but it is about the girl, Maria. And I am just going to read it to you straight from here,

but it is pretty cool.

Okay, “Maria had never been to Seattle

America was everything she had imagined and more

although the rain never stopped that crazy flying saucer looking building

epitomized America's excess en la

parte superior, however this visit was only brief

respite from the audacious

picking season, like most other migrant workers she sent her hard-earned wages home.

She came to this country for work and

flash suddenly, swishing pain, shortness of breath and darkness

had filled her heart. Sirens and traffic

and blinding lights were heard overhead a very skinny nurse

said she had a heart attack. She had been admitted to the Harborview

Hospital's Coronary Care Unit. While lying in the metal frame

bed - everything seemed white-clean, a bleach

aroma prevailed. Surely, she would be up against soon,

it came again like a cannon-shot - the pain in her chest exploded

once more. And there she went

up and out of her body...” Now, she was having

a cardiac arrest and here she is, all of a sudden, leaving her body.

“...Really, out! She was out of her body! Looking down,

she saw panicked staff rush to her bedside

amidst the clamor of squawking alarms.

everything was realer than real - hyper real,

high-definition, holographic, multidimensional.

She was floating,

as the traffic was screaming and equipment was buzzing and beeping,

she felt a blissful peace. She rose through the ceiling,

through the roof and looked down on the hospital. 'Floating?'

she thought, 'Now that is odd. I am floating.' On a window ledge,

she saw a single tattered blue tennis shoes

sitting on its frayed lace. She wondered,

'How did it get way up here on the third floor?' It had a hole

in the pinky toe. All of a sudden, she shot back into her body

and felt an icy hot pain as she looked up and saw the doctor holding

the defibrillator paddles...” So now, what has happened so far,

is she went in for, I believe,

a heart attack or cardiac arrest,

but she had this and then

she left her body, this happened two cases as far as for her cardiac arrest,

and she went up to the third floor of the building

and on the third floor she saw the shoe with a shoe lace.

And set a certain way - it was you know

well - it was sitting a certain way. Now, Kimberly Clark who is the nurse,

“...was working as a social worker at Harborview Hospital

when the unconscious cardiac arrest patient, Maria,

was admitted she had arrested again

in the hospital, flat lining for a minute or two,

but was resuscitated within the three minute window.

As part of her customary follow-up, Clark visited her

the same day whereupon Maria related

her out of body experience floating above the hospital.

In addition to describing Maria's perspective looking down on her body

and then rising through the building, Clark reported,

Maria proceeded to describe being further distracted by an object

on the third floor ledge at the north end of the building.

She thought her way up there and found herself

eyeball to shoelace with the tennis shoe, which she asked me to find for her.

Anxiously, to prove that she was not crazy,

Maria desperately wanted the social worker to find

the shoe.” Now, it goes on to say that basically

she goes up - Kimberly Clark - and she goes up to the third floor and she finds

this shoe with the shoelace with the hole in the pinky toe

just as Maria had described. And there is no way

that Maria would have known that, unless

she had a near-death experience or that out of body experience

and this is what we see happening with Maria. That is,

100 percent concrete evidence

of someone leaving their body and coming back. Now, I want to read you one short one

and this is another story about Howard Storm and let me read you his is really short.

“Storm was on a teaching trip to Paris when he was

suddenly overwhelmed by excruciating pain

and put into an ambulance and rushed to a nearby hospital.

For a short while he was dead.

As an Atheist, Storm,

expected oblivion at death -

to his astonishment he was suddenly out his body,

looking down at the hospital room...” Now, keep in mind he is an Atheist,

so his preconceived beliefs are not driving this,

because if it was his preconceived beliefs,

he surely would not have been out of his body as an Atheist, okay.

“...Then rather than going towards the light

he was forcibly dragged down to a horrific

place of darkness where monstrous evil

entities tortured him in revolting ways...”

That kind of sounds like the Hell of the Bible. He was dragged down to the pits of Hell,

but it goes on, “...later rescued and transported to Heaven,

he encountered angels and the Creator God

of the Bible. He described a life review

and an interesting conversation

with God. Storm was sent back with a new mission

to proclaim the Gospel and today he is a pastor

of the Christian religion.” So you have

one near-death experience with Maria going

up being able to see the shoe, okay now, keep in mind Maria was fully conscious -

she was able to describe a shoe,

okay, while her body was down below.

Okay, most people think, “Your brain is thinking.” Yes, your brain is thinking,

but even when you are unattached to your brain,

you still have a conscious mind - I want you to note that.

So, that is one key thing and another thing

that we are noticing with Howard Storm is that he too

was an Atheist and preconceived ideas of what happens

to these near-death experiences did not exist with him.

He was physically dragged to a place of

torment and the Bible describes that place of torment

as Hell. And I am going to read a couple scriptures in a moment.

Now, there is another story and I am going to just try to,

because it is a little long, but I am just going to

sum it up for you. But it is the Pam Reynolds story.

No, I will read it - it is not that long.

So, one more story and then we will stop with the stories but, “...Reynolds endured

an exotic surgical procedure called 'Operation Standstill,'

to remove a life-threatening aneurysm on her brain stem.

The procedure entails: stopping the heart, and the blood is drained from

the brain to allow the aneurysm to be

removed, even more the body temperature is lowered to sixty degrees

while fully anesthetized or with anesthetics

with sound admitting earplugs to verify

flat brain wave activity on the EEG (Electroencephalography)....”

So basically, she was put under by an anesthesiologist

sorry if I messed it up earlier, but she was put under by an anesthesiologist. And

they were working on her brain

and the heart and she was getting this aneurysm removed.

Well, the story goes on to say that basically she has the near-death experience.

And she floats above her body and she is able to describe

all the tools and the conversations that the doctor had while she was

“under.” And it (her description) was to 100 percent details,

so much so, that the doctors themselves were just

utterly stunned and many of them converted

to Christianity. And the thing is,

she too was out of her body, which means

her conscience was working even though the brain

was “on the table” if you will. So that is another thing that I wanted you to know.

Now, Doctor Jeffrey Long, who is

a radiation oncologist and he actually

founded and you can google this, the Near-death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF).

It is called N-D-E-R-F,

that is acronym or the short form of it.

Okay, and he lists twelve elements common

to most near-death experiences.

And he is going to list those twelve, now he surveyed 1300

different near-death experiences and that is a lot!

You know, obviously someone is trying to get the message out!

God, in my opinion and you are going to see that also, is trying to get

the message out to the world -

that He is real, the supernatural world exist

and this is exactly what we are seeing. So, I am going to share with you a list of

twelve things that doctor Jeffrey Long

found in his research. 1) They all had an out of body experience.

Meaning they all left their body and their body was left behind.

2) Separation of consciousness from the body.

Their conscience was separated from their brain. Okay.

3) Intense positive emotions or feelings.

4) Passing into a tunnel.

5) Encountering a mystical or brilliant bright light.

And on some cases,

they passed into darkness and were dragged into

a place of torment,

like we heard in... the prior story who was Howard...

Sorry, I am 'blanking on' (forgetting) his name,

Howard Storm, like Howard Storm's case.

Okay and then,

6) Encountering other beings.

Either mystical beings and/or

dead relatives and dead friends and

dead acquaintances, something to that effect. So these people are seeing

other people who have died.

7) A sense of alteration of time and space.

8) Life review.

And that is, a lot of them say that they see their whole life

pass before their eyes and the crazy thing is

that is exactly what the Bible tells us and there is a scripture

on that, where our life is replayed in front of eyes and the Bible is clear (1 Corinthians 3:13),

that we will have to give an account of our lives, if you will (2 Corinthians 5:10).

That is just straight out of what God says

9) Encountering unworldly heavenly realms or dark realms

if you will. You have your heavenly realm and then you have your Hell.

10) Encountering or learning special knowledge.

Meaning the reason they were sent (to Earth) or sometimes they have a mission

when they come back, obviously, to proclaim the Gospel as a lot have said.

But they learned things about the afterlife and

11) Encountering a boundary or barrier and

12) The individual is returned to the body whether it was voluntarily
