Jeffrey Welsh, 19, had a massive motorcycle accident in May 1981, hitting his brother-in-law's pickup truck at nearly 100 mph. He prayed Lord help me and jumped, being caught in midair and cradled by what he believed was the Holy Spirit. He entered spirit mode, hearing a song like Amazing Grace, and was gently laid down as his body lay lifeless. He observed from above as his brother-in-law Scott ran toward his motionless body crying No No and his sister screamed Oh my God I've killed Jeff. He continued rising toward a brilliant white light that was extraordinarily white and beautiful, not blinding despite its brightness. God's voice spoke from within, telling him time would heal all wounds and sorrows would turn to joy in the House of the Lord. He reached what he called the Lobby of Heaven - a completely white space like being inside a large cloud. He saw human figures in white robes whom he somehow knew. His Escort the Holy Spirit walked him through crowds to approach God behind a clouded veil. Three entities were present, and God told him Not yet There's more work for you to do and to finish that important project first. Upon return, he couldn't move and prayed again. He felt the breath of the Lord flow through his body, filling him with life. Witnesses saw him get up and walk away without a scratch. The ER doctor found no injuries and asked if he believed in God and miracles, telling him to continue on your journey.
