I have given up trying to relate the stories I have on this subject. People simply think I’m nuts or making it up. But I not only believe it, I know it.
Same here. I can only talk about this stuff with my father, who has had similar experiences, and one dear friend who has seen enough to know that I’m not making things up or crazy.
“Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.” Ecclesiastes 12:6-8
“For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.” 2 Corinthians 5:1-4
I for one would like to hear them, and I promise I won't think you're making them up.
I would love to hear them.
This doesn’t involve death but my husband and I were at a party one night and all of a sudden I felt like I couldn’t breathe! I’m a very private person but I actually told the man I was talking to that I couldn’t breathe. Without telling anyone else, I went out to our vehicle to get a Benedryl, I don’t have life threatening allergies but my husband does and I’m really not a hypochondriac or hysterical but I just couldn’t breathe.
I had a hard time getting the pill out of the blister pack and the first one flew out somewhere onto the ground, I only had one more. I finally got the second one opened and by that time I was just fine. I took a couple of full breaths and decided that I didn’t need to take the Benedryl but I put it in my pocket and went back into the party and ran right into my husband who had a look of panic on his face...his throat was swelling and he was having trouble breathing!
I just handed him the pill, ran outside and found the one I had dropped and took it to him too and then prepared to take him to the hospital. We were 20 miles from the hospital and the Benedryl kicked in and he chose not to go but even with the 2 pills almost immediately he swelled up and looked like a monster for several days.
The whole thing was just too weird and I believe that God surely had a hand in it because as bad as it was he probably would have died.
