Ping!
This statement he made says it all:
The love of God is, Its so pure, its so perfect, its so incredible. I didnt see any creatures, I didnt see any angels, I didnt see the pearly gates, Peter checking IDs, and all this stuff in peoples concepts. I didnt see any of that. But the glory of God, the radiance of God, but mostly God Himself and the magnificence of His love isthe undiluted love of God was being poured into me. There was nothing negative allowed to be in the presence of God. So I was pure and I was innocent. And its so incredible the ecstasy, the bliss, the joy, all the stuff weve read about, when you really experience it, we dont have words. Were going to have to invent new words.
A great testimony to God’s eternal love for us.
Don’t know - I’m definitely neutral on this one.
yeah, new words, actually the language of God in song. All things will be new, nothing will last, all of our knowledge now will be moot (burn the bachelors), but being before God and not having the sin, don’t know how that will be.
One thought, the antithesis is horrible. NO love, NO joy, just the opposite. Satan is silencing our freedom to speak the TRUTH.
There is a series on the Biography Channel called “I Survived - Beyond and Back.” Some very compelling near death experiences told first person.
Thanks, NYer.
Bttt
On Fire for the Lord!
(sorry,lucky Kid would understand)
Wow!
Wow is right, compelling story!

This is the best, most accurate description of the death experience I have ever read.
It is absolutely impossible to accurately describe God’s Love in words.
I have often said that those of us who have had these experiences were given a taste of the golden carrot dangled from the stick we carry in front of us and were then sent back with the knowledge that we can have that experience while still in the physical body.
That is the purpose of religion.
Allow me to say that what this man describes is possible to experience in a surrendering meditation.
Just reading his words brings tears to my eyes as it causes me to re-experience the journey.
Beautiful.
One major problem is that many people with the experience return and think that they are someone special and own the experience from ego like a prized possession. Owning the experience actually takes the experience away, the exact opposite of the joy it originally brought.
I did a quick Google on this guy. He experienced this when he was 19 (happened August 15th, 1968) and it is now forty six years later. He spent his life in the ministry helping others..... In August of 2010 a portion of Mickeys testimony was part of a two hour special on the highly acclaimed History Channel. The book came out in 2014.
I'm currently inviting speakers for a big conference next June on "Afterlife and the Survival of Consciousness." I'm printing his profile and praying on it to determine if he would be a fit to invite. I have no doubt of his experience. The question is "Where his he at now?"
Thanks for the ping to this beautiful testimony.
Thanks for the links.
