witchcraft practice, reincarnation beliefs, psychic abilities
While this experience contains many biblical NDE elements including out-of-body experience, encountering deceased relatives, experiencing divine light and otherworldly realms, the spiritual fruits are deeply concerning from a biblical perspective. The encounter with her deceased mother-in-law and the supernatural knowledge of her unborn child's voice suggest genuine spiritual experience. However, the aftermath reveals serious spiritual deception. Her turn to openly practicing witchcraft is explicitly condemned in Scripture (Deuteronomy 18:10-12, Galatians 5:20). The development of psychic abilities, telepathy with animals, and communication with spirits are occult practices forbidden in the Bible. Her belief in reincarnation contradicts the biblical teaching of one life followed by judgment (Hebrews 9:27). Most troubling is that she interprets the beautiful light and peace as validating her turn toward occultism rather than toward God. The experience led her away from potential Christian faith into practices God calls abominations. This suggests deceptive spiritual forces masquerading as light, which Scripture warns about (2 Corinthians 11:14). The positive emotions and even accurate information received do not validate the source as divine when the fruits lead directly into witchcraft.
Erika was 11 weeks pregnant and having a severe asthma attack brought on by a virus. Without health insurance or proper medication, she went into respiratory distress. EMTs had her walk to the ambulance, then she lost consciousness. She moved through purple light that was dark but not frightening, then entered pure white light that was beautiful, loving, and peaceful beyond description - like being surrounded in warm, loving wings of light. She heard a little boy's voice say "Mommy, don't leave me," which she thought was her 7-year-old son. Not wanting to leave this perfect place where life meant suffering and death meant pure pleasure, she was told by her deceased mother-in-law (who had died four months earlier) that she didn't belong there and had to go back. She then viewed her body from above as EMTs wheeled her from ambulance into hospital, and saw her mother talking to doctors in the emergency room about her condition. She verified with her mother that she was definitely unconscious when her mother spoke with doctors. She regained consciousness intermittently before being put in a medically induced coma, waking Monday on a ventilator. About a year later, her young son chased after her saying "Mommy, don't leave me!" in the exact same voice - she then knew it had been her unborn child during the NDE. The experience made her much more spiritual, openly practicing witchcraft, and she developed telepathy and empathy with animals and enhanced psychic abilities.
