Davida A underwent ventral hernia surgery in April 2003. Post-surgery complications arose when she continued taking birth control pills, leading to seven blood clots in her upper and lower lungs. After experiencing shortness of breath and chest pain, she sought medical help but was initially dismissed. A mysterious white and grey bird appeared to guide her to the doctor's office and then to the hospital. At home that night, she experienced excruciating pain as blood clots passed through her heart - described as thousands of tiny needles piercing through her chest and back. During this crisis, she experienced her soul pulling backwards out of her body in slow motion, seeing her mother looking at her in awe as if witnessing the soul's departure. Her father poured apple cider vinegar around her, and she suddenly returned to her body. She was diagnosed with seven blood clots representing, she felt, the seven churches in Revelation. During her hospital stay, she felt Jesus's presence, being rocked to sleep each night with profound peace and comfort. Birds came to her window singing melodies of peace. She received a spiritual message about priests not being paid for preaching God's words. The experience brought heightened spiritual sensitivity and ability to feel others' emotions.
--- Biblical Summary --- Biblical elements: The experience contains several biblical elements including awareness of soul/spirit separation from body, divine comfort and peace beyond understanding, possible angelic guidance (bird), and reference to the seven churches of Revelation. The message about not charging for God's word aligns with Jesus's instruction "freely you have received, freely give" (Matthew 10:8). The sensing of Jesus's presence and experiencing supernatural peace reflects biblical promises of God's comfort. Unbiblical elements: The claim to have special spiritual gifts of feeling others' emotions and receiving mental pictures through hand-holding, along with speaking in tongues for healing with accompanying heat, ventures into territories that while mentioned in Scripture, are described in ways that lean toward new age energy healing rather than biblical spiritual gifts. The direct prophetic message claiming personal representation of the seven churches is concerning without clear biblical warrant.
