To Heaven and Back - Pneumonia Patient - 1997

A woman was dying from severe complications including double pneumonia, a blood clot, internal bleeding, and kidney failure. As medical staff fought for her life, she heard the doctor loudly asking the nurse to check her blood pressure. The nurse's response was chilling: "Zero. Zilch." She realized the medical team was desperately fighting to save her life. In her distress, she questioned God, asking "Why me? Why now?" as she did not want to die.
Suddenly she began moving upward and realized her body was below her. She was taken through three heavens by a Being she immediately recognized as Jesus Christ. His eyes were piercing but loving, as clear as blue water. When He looked at her, He looked straight through her and into her, and she realized immediately that He knew everything about her. In a matter of seconds, she found herself before the Most High. She then heard the Father and Son communing about her case. Jesus said, "My blood is sufficient. She's mine." When He spoke those words, all her doubts about her unworthiness instantly disappeared. She was overcome with joy, jumping up and down, shouting and rejoicing. She had never experienced such happiness in her entire life. The kind of love she felt was beyond explanation. She kept exclaiming, "Oh, my God. Oh, my God. This is my Advocate," recognizing Jesus as her advocate just as described in the Bible. Jesus returned to where she was and looked at her again with comforting love. She never wanted to leave His side and told Him so, but a look in His eyes communicated that she had to return. Her return to her body in intensive care was as quick as her departure had been. After recovery, she began work for the Lord with a completely different appreciation for human relationships and love as her primary purpose.
