The next thing he knew was that he was left on the road with his right leg paralysed and laying half dead on the floor. He wanted to close his eyes and go to sleep but he then heard a voice say: “ if you close your eyes you won’t wake up”. To this Ian stood up and stumbled to a taxi but they wouldn’t take him, he had no money.
The voice spoke again: “ will you beg for your life”.
Still no one would take him, they thought he was taking heroine.
He decided to pray, but as he wasn’t very religious himself he didn’t know what to say and then he thought of the Lords prayer which his mother had taught him.
The first three lines were the most important and then the next things he noticed he was in a wheelchair in hospital.
He finally shut his eyes but opened them again to find everything in total darkness and no light switch. Voices were then heard saying; “ shut up” repeatedly, he had no idea where he was but he did know there was some type of evil in this place , he thought a sort of hell, a type of errie feeling.
Then a stream of light filled the air, he was drawn up into the light and felt at ease as he saw the source of light he then saw a chest and looked up to see the figures face but it was a stronger and brighter light than the rest of the place. He knew this figure was God and he was given the choice of going back to earth or staying in Heaven (the place of light). He decided to go back to Earth but he had to change his perspective on life. He agreed to this and found himself back in his form.
He wanted to share his story with other Christians or other people and so he visited churches and services to retell his near death experience.
People may think his story is true because it was told very fluently most things that he had said were actually written in the bible and it was much more descriptive about what he saw compared to other near death experiences, only he said that he had actually seen God.
Then again people may think he’s lying due to the fact that there isn’t really any real evidence that what he says is true.
I would like to believe his story of heaven and hell because if hell really were dark and eerie, I would not want to end up there, I would rather believe in the idea of brilliant light in heaven with God.
The only thing I don’t know to believe because to me it sounds too far fetched is the voices he explains in hell telling him to shut up repeatedly, I just could not imagine that, but I don’t know for sure as I haven’t experienced anything like Ian’s Story.
