It brought back the memory of my Mom telling me and my siblings about her similar experience. After it, she couldn't wait to go back to see her family that was there. After her last fall that resulted in a broken shoulder and hip she was adamant that hospice be called and she refused all her medication because she was ready to go "home".Painful as that was for all of us, I thank God still that we were able to spend her last days here with her. I know she waits on the other side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was having such a hard time believing, because of the fear his family, mostly his father. He shared this story which later helped to changed his life and he accepted Jesus. He had an experience concerning hell. He said that it was as if they kept passing through different rooms (she said chambers), that they never rested just kept moving room to room, and he knew why they were there. He also said that heaven was visible to them as if only a small stream separated them, but he knew that you couldn't enter. He shared that the burning was the torment of fire that never goes out, in total darkness but he knew when someone was near. The wailing was from knowing that he would be separated from God forever, the remembrance of every opportunity given to accept Christ, and the gashing of teeth was no one would come near him (even through they knew the horror ), he could never be comforted, and he couldn't comfort anyone. Theres more he shared, but its been so many years, I've forgotten the rest. This has open doors of the pass concerning people whom I have witness to.. I pray he remained in Christ and was able to win his family to Him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a young man he knew and accpeted God but he rejected him as the years passed. We have begged, pleaded and prayed for him for many many years but the thought that he may be in hell is so very very frightening and devastating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gripped me the most was at the end, when Colby says Jesus told him He was sending him back in answer to his father's prayer. And the father was like, "That irreverent, that disrespectful, screaming at God prayer? It's like...he's answering that prayer?" Yeah, I choked up, too.
