Phillip O NDE

Experience Description

I had two neck surgeries I was taking a lot of aspirin my stomach was hurting. I went to the bathroom my stool was black. I told my wife to call an ambulance when I got to the emergency room they checked to see if I had been bleeding. They said they thought I had been bleeding for about a week so they put me in the hospital; this was around 4:00 am. They said the doctor would be in around 8:00 or 9:00 am. Around 9:00, I sent my wife home to get me some underwear because blood had gotten on them. It was no longer black but red. A doctor came in to talk with me. He told me that he thought I might be bleeding from my stomach, they had contacted a gastroenterologist he was to see me. Shortly after he left blood starting pouring out of me I called for the nurse. She asked me if she could help me but I passed out before I could answer.

When I regained consciousness, blood was still pouring out of me. I hit the nurse's button again. When they answered, I barely got the words 'I need help' out of my mouth. I passed out again. The nurses came in and then I came back around a little she said I had been scheduled for surgery. They started pushing the bed down the hall. I was having a hard time breathing. I told the nurse I was going to die. She kept telling me I wasn't. Fear had totally started to get hold of me when they got me to the intensive care unit my IV had come out. They told the nurse to get in touch with my wife, all my veins had collapsed and they could not get my IV back in, I felt myself slipping away. They were going to go into my neck to put the IV in. As they were giving me a shot to deaden the place to put the IV in I rose up out of my body.

Looking back at the doctors these words came out of my spirit, 'In the name of Jesus I take authority over Satan spirit of death I bind you, you will not take me like this.' I found myself outside my room at the nurse's station. I heard a mighty rushing wind to my right. I saw an angel flying toward me. As he flew by, there were other angels covered with light following him. The first angel I saw I could see him from head to toe he was very large, he had big fat cheeks, he had muscles on top of muscles, he was clothed in white, and he had huge large white wings. He flew by several times with the angels that were covered with light. All I could see of them were their wings barely sticking out of the light. The fear had left me, I felt pure energy going through me and peace and love. The angel that led the others stopped as I gazed upon him. I was in awe. His eyes were not like ours but had a slit from top to bottom with different colors. He told me to hop on. I told him I wasn't ready to go - I didn't know if arguing was to do any good. I told him I had always wanted to fly with angels could I just fly with him. He said, 'Sure.' So I asked him, 'How do I get up there where you are at?' As soon as I said that, I felt the power of God lift my feet up toward the angel until I was looking at the bottom of his feet and then we took off. This was becoming fun as we were flying for a while.

I heard an awful sound behind us and turned to look. It was a demon spirit; he was ugly, the head of a bat and the body of a snake. The angel in front of me dropped back and kicked the demon in the head. He rolled in a ball and he blew up like a firecracker blowing up, then he disappeared. Then it happened again. I heard the same noise the demon looked the same as the other one. This happened several times. Then the angel stopped outside of my room. I floated back down to the floor and the next thing I knew I was coming around back in my body. I was so cold, they were giving me blood and it was cold. I was looking for the angels that I had seen but they were gone. I was filled with the energy that I had felt with the angels. I started telling my wife about all that had happened. She could not believe. I was so full of joy after almost having died; it was the best and worst day of my life. Truly, life hereafter is something I am looking forward to. I believe in a way I touched the face of God.
