I hesitate to talk about this subject, but one night I think I died. I have mentioned this before in earlier posts on this blogsite. I suffer from obstructive sleep apnea which causes you to suddenly stop breathing and your heart will stop if you do not resume breathing. Before I knew anything about this condition, I believe I died. I was jerked awake suddenly in the middle of the night, fully conscious, wide awake. All I could see was a heavy dark blackness. I could not see my body. I remember feeling confused, thinking what is happening to me then the thought came over me, ‘Oh, I think I have died’.

I felt a tinge of fear then slowly a spiral of these beautiful puffy white clouds started to spiral off in the distance. I did not want to look at the end of the spiral because the knowledge came over me that if I did there would be no going back. But I was not given a choice; I had to look at the end of the spiral. And that’s when it happened instantaneously.

The glorious, beautiful, beautiful bright light. It was everywhere. It was blindingly, blindingly bright, and the colors of the rainbow were constantly moving through it. I’ve never seen light like that before and will never again until I reach the foot of my Lord’s throne on the other side of this life’s grave. It’s as if the very light itself was alive with energy and power.

I could not see God or His face, but I could sense somewhere in that light a massive, very massive, very, very massive intelligence. Like I said, I did not get to see His face. If I had I don’t think He would have let me come back. I tried to turn away from the light so bright it almost hurt to look at it, but I had no physical sensation at all and looking down could not see my body yet I was fully wide awake. I tried to turn my head away but again was not given a choice. I had to look at the light so I turned back to it.

Again instantaneously, it felt like somebody had slammed my full body up against a brick wall with a hard boom. I felt no pain just a large jolt of force, and I, well, I was back inside my body. I took a few deep breaths and tried to move, feeling somewhat stiff. I have no other conclusion to draw but that for a minute or two I died and was allowed to see only a brief glimpse of our God’s glory.

Many people have had similar experiences. I hope this can help you with your hope for a new life after your death if you stay loyal and faithful to our God and Christ’s commands. May God bless your day and PRAISE GOD
