Dr. O.S. Hawkins used to say, "An inward impression, without an outward expression, is depression." That's part of the reason why I wanted to share with you the "near death" experience I had in February 1997, when I died from the flu for several minutes. My fever went over 107 degrees Fahrenheit and, instantaneously, I was suddenly in another realm. I cared nothing about what I had left behind and I only wanted to go towards the most indescribably beautiful place I had ever seen--a place that radiated the softest, most pure, white light imaginable. I was clearly seeing heaven, or a portal to heaven, from afar. It was a place of substantial size, some distance ahead of me, but below and to my left. As I moved along through space, my mind functioned no differently than before I died. I did not need glasses to see distances, either, like I normally do. Even though I did not have the sense that I had changed mentally, I was not aware of having a body. I do not remember noticing my arms or legs. I also did not notice seeing any stars, so heaven must be way above the stars. While most of my focus was on going towards the beautiful white light, I noticed towards the end of my experience that Jesus was off to my right in more subdued light watching me. He was in the shadows, so to speak. Some people I have shared this story with have asked me how I knew it was Jesus. I said, "You you could just tell." There was no doubt in my mind it was Jesus. Jesus looked like James Caviezel in "The Passion of the Christ." The most incredible thing I remember about Jesus’ appearance was His eyes. His haunting eyes gave me the feeling that He could see right through me. He tracked me like a laser, as I moved along, and He had a no nonsense countenance on his face. Then, just as suddenly, I came back to life. Apparently, my fever was starting to brake. My wife, who was Director of Surgery of a Texas hospital, was there when it happened. The other reason I wanted to share this experience with you is because I believe I had it for a purpose. That purpose is to testify to the world that I have seen Jesus and heaven. They both really exist. Through Dr. O.S. Hawkins’ outward call to get involved with Evangelism Explosion 25 years ago, I heard God’s inward call to me to become an evangelist. This is now part of my testimony to you and to the world. |
