I'm not really sure exactly why he saved me
but I do know that he gave me
my life back to
warn the people
and tell them that there really is life after death
and its really good to get your spiritual life in good order.
So, tell me about the accident. You were walking, you were driving?
Well, It all got starts back before that actually it goes
clean back to 2005
when I quit drinkin and
in 2008
somebody said, "You know john you should go to Alcoholics Anonymous
a lot of people get a lot of good out of that." and I said well
you know I didn't have a problem quiting drinking I'd just quit"
and I thought about it so
I went to Alcoholics Anonymous and they were talking about
working a program which
actually is a very good idea and they talked about having a higher power
well and they said your higher power could be
whatever you want it to be. If you want it to be a tree it could be a tree
or it could be a friend or whatever. Som
if I had to have a higher power I wanted
THE highest power.
I wanted the real higher power
but I also was looking for some truth
to see if he was real and so
what I did unknowingly
what I was asking for was I
started praying and asking
the Lord for just a teeny tiny glimpse
of the holiness of His Holiness
because I just had a hard time imagining
somebody being that holy and righteous
and I didn't ask for it once I asked for that
every day for 3-4 months I'm not sure exactly how long
but one night after alcoholics anonymous
I went out
and went to get into my pickup and put the key in the door and she swerved
over and hit me at thirty five miles an hour
now what I am told is
is that I went up in the air and then she came back underneath me and when I
came down I came down on her hood
and then I bounced up and hit her wind sheild
and broke it then I did cartwheels
off the back of the automobile. It was a
an 89 no a 98
Cadillac Eldorado is what she hit me with and it was 85 feet from point of impact
to where she left me in the ditch
and the lady that seen it
called 911 told him where I was at
and jumped in her car and took off after and followed her
out to the town pump out here on Dewy Boulevard
that's where they caught up to her. That was her fifth DUI
and I don't remember anything past there
until I woke up in the hospital
28 days later in
saint patrick's hospital
but during that time
well let's see I was on life support for
14 days because I wouldnt breathe on my own
and they put me on life support to see if I would come around and come out of
it
and thankfully I did
but I was really
I couldn't hardly move when I woke up but
the first thing I remember when I woke up was
a nurse said, "Oh
you're awake?" and I said,
"Well I prefer to be outside on the ledge with the birds."
because it was on the fifth floor
but the birds were down about the first floor
or second floor somewhere in there
and she said, "Well there's no ledge out here and there's no birds."
and I said, "Well you better look out the window."
So, she went over and she looked out the window
and she was leaning over and she started to say there's no kedge out here
and she said, "There's no." then she stopped she says, Oh there is a ledge down
there
and there are birds landing on it." then she turned around and just gave me this
horrified
look because she knew that I hadn't opened my eyes in 28 days
and she ran out of the room. Well
I closed my eyes
with the hope that I would go back out on the ledge with the birds
because that's the first place I went when I left my body.
I was outside the hospital
and its really different
I can't say its strange but it's different being in
your spiritual body because
if you're in your physical body and you wanna go sit down you know you think to
yourself I'm gonna go sit down you know that thought
enters your mind and you have to walk over and sit down.
Well, in the spiritual body
the thought enters your mind you just automatically go and sit down.
Your body just moves you don't have to walk anywhere
and I went and sat down with the birds and a bird landed
like right here next to me and walked right through both of my legs
and it was at that point that I noticed something was coming
and then something else was coming and something else was coming
and when these
3 I call them angels because I don't know what else to call them.
When these three angels got there
they put their heads together
and were having a conversation.
I couldn't hear what they were saying but when they were through with
their conversation they started to leave.
So, the one that went straight away from me
started to fall
and it must of sense that I was following it because it stopped.
It turned around and it said to me,
"You have to go back."
and it turned and started going away from me again
and then as it got a little ways away it turned back around
and winked at me like that and then turned around and left
but I didn't go back I went down and sat with the birds
and then from there
I went into another sphere
there was blue sky but that's all there was there was
absolutely nothing out here
and a black man walked out
and he was...you could tell he was a black man but
very beautiful. The angels that came were very beautiful
and this black man walked up to me and said,
"You have to go back now."
and then I left and I was back at the birds
and evidently I went back into my body
because when I woke up there I was
but that was the extent of my gallivanting around
well they were trying to keep me alive in hospital
and now that was the only thing that was on my mind
when I woke up was everything that i'd seen
being outside on the ledge
and I knew then
that I had gotten a glimpse of the holiness and His Holiness
and I knew it immediately
and then it was just a long journey
three-and-a-half ..two-and-a-half more months
three and a half months total in the hospital until I could
actually go home and it
broke more bones and did more damage than I can even imagine.
It broke my back and my collarbone and this bone and that bone
but here I am today and
I immediately just started telling people
that there really is life after death
and now and it was really easy to bring up the conversation because
I would go to Walmart and the lady would say. "And how are you today?" I'd say,
"Well, I haven't had a bad day in my life
even the day I got run over by a drunk driver wasn't a bad day
because not only did I get to see but I got to talk to
real angels and I found out that there really is
life after death." and that's how it would go on until I had
the brochures made up that I pass out
and I just pass out brochures everywhere I go
because I think it's really important to let people know that there really is
life after death and that
it would do them well to have their spiritual life
in good order well they're here on earth
because once you leave here you can't get your spiritual life in good order.
It is what it is so it's good to
you know work on your spiritual life while you're here
and that's about the size of it.
Interviewer: Can you describe the angels in more detail to me?
Well, people ask me that
and the only way I can describe what an angel
looks like is if you took
a person's beauty say your beauty
and enhanced it five million times
there you have it
because thats what they look like they didn't have any wings
but they were very beautiful
even the black man was a very beautiful person
and from his dialect
I would say that he was here back maybe in the slave days
because he had just a real different dialect
but he was a very beautiful person
Interviewer: What was it like hanging out with the birds?
Did you hear the birds
Talking?
Oh yeah, they were chirping and stuff and it was really amazing when the
bird landed
and walked right through both of my legs it was just
you know because you don't see that kinda stuff
you know here in our physical body they wouldn't even land next to me
but you see they didn't see me. I was in my
physical body I was in my spiritual body but I didn't even realize that I had
until then but I realize it now.
Well, just
lead to good honest life be good help people when you can and don't harm them
except the Lord
that's really important, accepting the lord
because he did die on the cross for us and
that's what I believe that's what the Bible tells us and I have no reason not
to believe that and
if you actually look at it from
well let's look at it from this point of view
if
you didn't believe and you die
and found out that you were supposed to believe you've lost everything
if you believe and
you found out that you did the right thing you have everything to gain
because this life here on earth
is just the beginning of a life to come.
