Experience Description

I collapsed on the side of the road, but I was watching the police pick me up from the bus stop across the street, and I remember thinking that the poor guy was in worst shape than me.

A week later I was walking the same route to my parents' house, an old lady came running up to me and throwing her arms around me and said OH thank God OH thank God you are alright. Last week you were lying on the side of the road and you had to be helped. It was then that I realized what happened last week was real. I was outside my body. More happened! I was taken up to the entrance of The Kingdom OF GOD. Off to the left was a school bus filled with people, A little off to the right were people dressed in plain clothes, and all through this experience was a marching sound through the whole experience.

I believe that GOD was making known to me in my mind the interpretation of these things. The school bus etc. which were revealed to me years later and are still are being revealed today.

I experienced nothing but pure love from God. Finally, God started telling me that I had to go back and I moved back away from God when He said the word 'back.' I started pleading with God to stay. God told me that I could not come into heaven in the condition which I was in because I was strung out on drugs and alcohol. God said again that I must go back, and I moved further away, still pleading to stay. Then God said, 'All of the alcohol and drugs that you do won't kill you And I am going to bring you out of it.' Oh yea the light through all of this was so pure. Sad to say but even after all this I continued to use drugs and alcohol, about three to four years later I consistently started trying suicide. I finally crying out to God 'Why won't you let me die.' Forgetting that he told me that all the drugs and alcohol would not kill me. God won the battle, and I got clean.

Today I hope to correspond with others who have hade NDEs God is still working out his plan. I really need someone, or several others to communicate with.
