I
have a little experience with this sort of thing. It happened sometime in February of 1997 (I
think) on the east-side of Holbrook, AZ.
I
was still in the mandatory training phase of my first over-the-road trucking
job, and while my trainer went into the Shell Truckstop to get something to
eat, I laid down in the sleeper to try to get to sleep while the truck was not
moving. For going to sleep while it was
moving was a near impossibility for me.
Anyway,
I don’t think I had been laying down all that long when I felt my soul lifting
up out of my physical body. When I saw
that I was about to pass through the top of the sleeper, I cried out, “No, I’m
not ready to go yet!” I don’t know
whether I said this out-loud or not, but as soon as I said it, my soul instantly
returned to my physical body.
Yep,
that was it. I didn’t see any bright
light. In fact, I didn’t even see my
physical body still laying in the bed, but it has helped to prove to me that
many who claim to have experienced an out-of-body experiences, really did
experience something.
There
is not a doubt in my mind that what Colton Burpo experienced was very
real. For while watching that segment, I
became overwhelmed with emotion, which is what happens when our Heavenly Father
gives me an even more acute awareness of His presence in order to erase any
uncertainly about what He is assuring me of.
You
can read some more about the book that his dad wrote about his experience
[here]. Oh how I hope the purity of this
revelation doesn’t get too corrupted. Of
course, it would not be anything that our Heavenly Father could not overcome,
but it would still be such a shame.
Speaking
of such, the following two videos contain some shameful things. In the first one, Pastor Piper talks about
how he always considered our Heavenly Father’s Kingdom of Heaven as being a
sacred secret that should not be openly discussed before he was allowed a short
visit there, and in the second, an atheist minister confidently proclaims that
we will return to the nothingness we came from after we die—despite meeting her
uncle after she experienced her some time on the other side. Can anyone tell me how anyone could have a
greater faith in their beliefs than she does?
