I Die and Struggle Between Spiritual Forces | Near Death Experience
What Researchers Found
The Story
The person was 20 years old when they experienced an NDE caused by their lifestyle involving darkness and the occult. During the experience, their spirit left their body and they became aware of a vivid invisible realm. They encountered two large beings who lifted them toward heaven, but they felt unworthy and were pulled back by dark beings. They found themselves in a hellish cave with flames and souls suffering. A hideous creature prepared to judge them. The person realized they were in hell and cried out to Jesus for forgiveness. They were then violently returned to their body. After the NDE, they felt transformed and understood the scriptures more deeply, but struggled with old habits. Eventually, they fully surrendered to God, seeking a new life away from darkness.
