In 2011 I had neck surgery. Something happened that I have thought about ever since. I think I may have had a near-death experience. This is my testimony of what I experienced.
All of a sudden I was in a place, talking with my grandparents. I was waiting for a decision from others to see whether I was staying. A man in a white robe came and told me I could not stay. I became angry and started cursing at him. Then I fell into complete darkness, and I just knew where I was going. I cried out to God, asking why, because I believed in Jesus.
The next thing I knew, I came up and over my body and went back down into it. When I looked down by the bed, I saw sandals and a white garment, and a person walking away.
I pulled myself up and saw a male nurse in navy blue. He walked right through someone who looked like Jesus. I called out "Jesus." I don't know if I said it in my mind or out loud. I was sitting up, wearing a neck brace. My gown fell off my shoulder, and Jesus turned around toward me from across the room. I thought, "No, not Jesus, you are John." But it was Jesus. I was ashamed that he could see my tattoo, and then I thought, "OK, he knows everything about me."
There was an opening in the area he was walking toward. It looked like old Jerusalem. He turned around, and then he was in the center of the room, with two very large angels, one on each side of him. There was absolute power in his eyes. Another opening showed a beautiful place, with a small angel on each side of it. Then a portal opened, and Jesus went through it.
I have thought of it often. It was real. I know now.
One of the grandparents I spoke with was my mother's grandfather, who died in church. I never knew him in life, but I knew him there. The other was a lady I don't know, but I knew her there too.
