There's heaven and then there's hell and hell is not a place you want to be. And when and if and I pray that it is when you start doing your own research on these near-death experiences, you will hear from people who have actually been there and back and not one or two people, many people, so this is not a joke. In fact, one of the things that I found overwhelming as there are so many things that I grew up with, on a checklist what you have to do to stay in God's good graces and they were ridiculous things:  I couldn't wear pants; I couldn't go to the movies; I couldn't swim with boys; I couldn't wear a shirt with writing on it, and  I could go on. Then there are people who have never heard the name of God or they've heard him and they were told that he's not real or that he was not somebody to believe. So these experiences that I've been researching and reading about, there were people that were literally surprised that they were in heaven. Okay, now that is very difficult for me to wrap my brain around because as a woman who has done everything that I know to do, and worn myself out trying to perform, I still struggle with, is it enough? No, it's not to earn my way to heaven. I am fully aware of what the Bible says that my salvation is a gift by faith, not by works. I totally get that. But there were so many things said to me as a child, that somewhere still in my subconscious, it's something I struggle with.  Am I really, really hearing from the Lord or is this just something I'm telling myself?  But what I'm telling you is, that's the complete opposite of everything that is in these research testimonies. The one thing that comes back over and over by people who have tried to be a Christian all their life, claimed to be a Christian all their life, or people that rejected Christianity because it was not in their culture, and they didn't know any different,  they said they just did what their parents told them and didn't believe in Jesus. But some of these same people showed up in heaven during these near-death experiences. And so, for me, it's like I don't understand how can they get to go to heaven and I'm working my rear end off literally here and you know,  none of this makes sense. So, what are the messages that every one of them is bringing back:  Two things they talk about consistently across the map: one is the light that they are experiencing and it's not just a bright light at the end of the tunnel, it is like God is the light.  He permeates everything there because he is so bright, yet you can look at him the way they explain it. He’s so much brighter than the sun, but you can look at him. It was just hard for them to even explain in words that we have here as humans because we don't have the words to explain something like that in heaven. So that's the first thing they talked about was light and the second thing and the most important thing is the love,  the unconditional love that they have never felt in their life. One man explained it as if I took every single amazing, loving relationship that I've had on the earth; He and his wife, every one, his kids, his parents, all of them and I put them all together in a big ball, it would be nothing compared to what I felt like and he was gone for nine minutes or something like that.   It literally changes these people's lives when they come back from it.
