• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I was listening to some videos yesterday of people who were dead for 2-3 hours & claimed to have gone to heaven - there's also ones where they went to hell - not saying they're all true & to be believed, but I think some are. Christianity teaches heaven is a real place after all. They made me so happy. Keep trying. Jesus knows. The above post is exactly correct & the Bible confirms it - but remember, it's for God's glory:)

I was born with some serious heart problems and have died several times and only once I remember actually seeing something. I remember being in a tunnel and there was a light at the end. No matter how fast I ran, I never got any closer to the light. Not sure what that was about? Weird.

That is so similar to what happened with me for the past couple days, but I was reading anonymous testimonies out of a book called Beyond Death's Door by Dr. Maurice Rawlings. In the chapter Descending into Hell, it gives some very disturbing NDEs. The details of the NDEs are so specific that I have no reason not to believe them. The book does have a corresponding chapter the good NDEs too, so it's not all dark and scary stuff in there. I hope that I don't end up on the bad side of it all.

Sounds like you did have a bit of a Near-death Experience Faith over Fear. The light at the end of the tunnel is a common feature in Near-death Experiences and I believe it is our spirits being transported from this world to heaven. If you managed to come out through the light you would of found yourself in heaven, but obviously it wasn't your time yet.

Yes, I believe that some people have had a genuine Near-death Experience, but many are made up fakes so you have to take these stories with a pinch of salt.

Lady Bug if you have Christ as your Lord & Savior you WILL not end up in the bad side. If you know God's gospel of salvation and have faith in Christ Jesus, then you WILL be sealed by his Holy Spirit and firmly in his hand. God bless you Lady Bug.

There was a "bad" experience by someone who was a regular church-going lady though. Maybe her relationship with the Lord wasn't that great, but what if she thought it was?

Life is a tough struggle Yusuphhai, but in reality we always have hope in Jesus, even though we don't see it, you are in the Father's hand, sealed by the Holy Spirit and he will NEVER abandon you. Unfortunately we will have these days when we feel without hope, even the great prophets like Elijah and King David felt like that sometimes too and it's comforting for us to know that they went through it too. May God restore joy in your heart and be with you Yusuphhai and strengthen you to give you assurance, love & support through these dark days to bring you into his light again.
