I was Dead for 1 hr. 45 minutes, went to Heaven and came Back - Dean Braxton's After Death Testimony

they literally pushed a poison into my bloodstream or the infection into my bloodstream and I became what you call septic and according to the medical record that impacted 29 different things in my body and I died for according to the medical records again an hour and 45 minutes my heart and my lungs were not operating during that time I was considered what you call clinically did I suffocated that's what really happened the hoison went into my lungs and I couldn't breathe any longer it was the worst death for me that I could died all of a sudden I say on the inside of me I'm going home and joy peace Comfort came all over me I always thought it was my body would die and then my spirit would leave it was my spirit left and then my body died you know I've heard other people said there it was an Angel by them he took him he didn't have to take me I knew how to get there I had the best GPS on the inside of me it's the Holy Spirit he knows how to get there I said if there was an angel I left him behind cuz I knew where I was going hi welcome to touching the afterlife in 2006 Dean Braxton clinically died for an hour and 45 minutes and went to heaven and he's here with us today to share his experience Dean thank you so much for being with me today well thank you for having me it's it's a great honor oh it's lovely to have you and to have you share your story with us today so Dean I know that in 06 you went to the hospital for a kidney stone yes what happened yeah 2006 uh I always like to say the day May 5th mainly because those that uh are from Mexico that's seal demo and so I like to always point that out um what happened was I I was really I went to May 4 but May 5th is when they did the operation to break up the stone um the the kidney stone that was on the inside of me I also had a kidney infection which is normal when you usually have a kidney stone because it black it boxs your bladder and things Fester during that time and they gave me antibiotics um that they thought would work on making sure that that infection was gone by the time they did the operation no one went back to check to make sure it was gone so after they uh blasted the stone they literally pushed a poison into my bloodstream or the infection into my bloodstream and I became what you call septic and according to the medical record impacted 29 different things in my body and I died for according to the medical records again an hour and 45 minutes you know and so my heart and my lungs were not operating during that time I was considered what you call clinically de at that moment and so that's what took place on on May 5th um and you know I I get to tell you something else I love to say this part it's hard for me not even to say it is that I was born again I knew Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior I always say I had to the Holy Spirit residing on the inside of me so when this happened I got to go to be with the Father and Jesus in heaven and I try to downplay it to a little bit because people think wow you got to go to heaven and and everything and I'm thinking wait a minute if you're born again you're going too you know that's what happens to Christians so I really love to really point that out this is the norm coming back was not the norm right going was oh wow so tell us about when you went so what did that feel like what happened when you started or clinically died you know when I when when I realized I was dying there were several processes that took place you know I always tell people 99% of everything I experiened I can find in the word of God I didn't know that these processes would take place but the Bible says they would um I really found them after I came back to the planet that they were in the Bible but the first process that really hit me is I suffocated that's what really really happened the poison went into my lungs and I couldn't breathe any longer and I remember going through that process of not being able to breathe it was the worst death for me that I could have died and the reason I say that is because I almost drowned as a little kid and I had the trauma of what it was like not to be able to breathe even after I became born again it was the was the number one way I did not want to leave the planet and here I am because of the poison hit my lungs and my lungs uh shutting down I was having a hard time breathing I can remember gasing for air and instead of me panicking and being hysterical about it what took place was this and it I'm still amazed by it all of a sudden inside of me and I'm laying down um they're rushing me from one room to another room this is after the operation and all of a sudden I say on the inside of me I'm going home and joy peace Comfort came all over me and what I meant by that I was I was going to be with the Father and Jesus in heaven and I just remember the joy and the PE peace and the comfort that came all over me is it all right if I just share where that is in the Bible because I didn't know it was going to happen that way you know when Jesus Christ died on the cross I came to understand something that he did a lot for us that we don't even understand but we get the benefits of it any way and one of them is what I just explain to you that joy and that peace U coming over me not having any fear at all is found in Hebrews the 2nd chapter the 14th through the 15th verse and I want to read it to you and it says it this way therefore since the children share in Flesh and Blood he likewise shared in their Humanity so that through death he could destroy the one who holds to power of death that is the devil and set free those who were held in slavery all their lives by their fear of death I didn't know when he died on that cross that he would take my fear death away from me and it it hit me I I Was Not Afraid at that moment all I could think about is I am going home and I had this Joy this peace this Comfort came all over me you know that was one of the things that I learned in leaving in leaving the planet as I call it I didn't call it leaving the planet before I called it dying but since I've had the experience now it's leaving the planet and the second thing that hit me was I always thought it was my body would die and then my spirit would leave and it wasn't that way it was my spirit left and then my body died and I that really got me even after I got back because I'm thinking I didn't really die my body died but I didn't die and and people say you died you died I thinking I never died I didn't even feel the the the the the the whatever you would feel at that moment of dying I remember I was always alive there wasn't even a transition someone say you're transition from this planet or from this world to that world no I just left left my body and the Bible even says it in several areas and one of them I'm telling you was really amazing because I'm a Bible reading I was reading it says found in James the 2 chapter the 26th verse it says faith without works is De just like the body is did without the spirit and when I read that I said your spirit has to leave first and then your body dies and then in Genesis the second chapter it really got me I read it one time and I I was reading it like normal and all of a sudden I read that part where God makes Adam and as he's made Adam he brings in him he puts a spirit inside of him before the body is alive so I thought wow and even Jesus said he gave up his spirit and then his body died when he was on the cross I thought Lord you are so good and then the scripture that says this you know we would not experience this thing of death now I understood it that that when Jesus was on that cross he died our death um I I I could go on I just want to read this one scripture because it it says it again I I tell people all the time I found this in the word of God and it was like I didn't know it was in there until till later on it's found in Hebrews the 2 chapter again the ninth verse but we see Jesus who has made Lord than the angels for a little while now crowned with Glory and Honor because he suffered death so that by God's grace he would experienced death on behalf of everyone what I should have experienced through that moment Jesus Christ experienced on the cross so that I did not have to experience it you know that was the other thing that took place during that process of what you just asked and the third what I'd like to say is when I left my body how fast I left the Bible says to be absent for the body is to be in the presence of the Lord it was faster than the speed sound you're hearing my voice right now it's faster than the be the light you see in my face right now that it it it's like the Bible says we'll be changing the twinkling and eyes talking about the end but it says that that's how fast it was that I was with Jesus and the father and that was for me amazing too you know those three processes of leaving the planet are some people called dying I experienced wow so you felt no fear it no pain no pain quickly escorted now were you escorted did you go straight to heaven I'm glad you brought that up I was not escorted at all you know I've heard other people said that it was an Angel by them and he took him he didn't have to take me I knew how to get there I always tell people I had the best GPS on the inside of me it's the Holy Spirit he knows how to get there I said if there was an angel I left him behind because I knew where I was going oh wow so tell us about that Journey there and what of course you saw you know going there was really something just like I said I wasn't escorted there I didn't have no angel Say ding if you see this star make sure you go to the right because the left goes to a different place you know I'm headed there what was before me and I remember it Vivid to this day I remember seeing this light before me it looked like a window it wasn't a window but that's the best way I could describe it and I'm headed to that light because I know that's where the Father and Jesus is and I leave my my hospital room I I go through the floors I hit the the sky and it's a blue day on that day and I hit the outer space you know with the Stars going by the planets and then I hit this realm that's just dark and I believe that's where many of my colleagues that have experienced it they said they entered into that tunnel and all they could see was a light at the end of the tunnel I could see that window before me and as I was headed to that window all of a sudden I noticed on both side of me these lights that were passing me by they look like shooting stars but they weren't shooting stars later on I just realized they were the prayers that people were praying for me and others the actual prayers that people were praying were beating me into heaven and I said whoa and and I'll be honest when I got back to Earth later on and I was laying in my in my bed I I thought this thought why did the prayers beat me to Heaven almost like God why did you have prayers go faster than me didn't you want me there that's what I was thinking at the time but then I can't I'm a Bible reader and I'm reading in the Bible and I come across this Bible this verse in 1 Peter 3:17 that says the eyes of the Lord on the righteous and his ears are attended to their prayers and I remember reading that and thinking God you want to hear from us you want us to talk to you and then the next thing they got me again comes out of Genesis the second chapter when he made Adam Eve was not created he gave adam a voice and a mouth and it wasn't to talk to the animals it was to talk to to him our very mouth and our very voice was created for God Almighty and I thought why wouldn't our prayers go faster than than us he wants us to talk to him so that was really something they see them going past me and it was like I was in my stream because if I look to the right there was more prayers that way and if I look to the left there was more prayers that way but it seemed like I was in the Stream of prayers that people were praying for me because you know I had a lot of people praying on the planet that I would not leave the planet my wife you know and and I was headed in that stream into heaven and I just remember when I got in there you want me to go on can I can tell you what it was like to get in it was oh man of course I just want to say that I when I've heard that story from you about the prayers uh that that stood out because he hears every cry every prayer and even when we don't feel like it he is closer and he wants to hear from us yeah you're right right you know one of the things I I could point out a whole lot about prayers because you learn a lot when you when you go through this about how communication to God is done but one of the things I didn't know was our prayers don't have expiration date or or time limit on them they literally God is is looking to answer our prayers even when we don't think he is um sometimes we don't think he's answering a prayer and I really believe there sometimes we're not ready for the answer um sometimes people say I pray for God to heal me I don't know why it's not happening when it's happening I won't blame the person that it's not happening to you it just won't do that but the reality of it is I know that our prayers don't have a shelf life to the point that if someone in your family prayed for you Generations ago that God will still be active on that prayer even though you didn't exist at that moment you know uh and and one of the scriptures I used to even support that is found in Acts the 10th chapter when the this man named Kus has an angel that comes to him and starts talking to him and he says your prayers and your good deeds are Memorial be for God and of course I'm curious what does memorial mean it means remembrance so God is remembering our prayers to answer them um even if we're not existing at the moment and what I mean by that I really believe grandmothers I'm not saying Grandpa don't do it but grandmothers pray for Generations they seem to always pray for Generation after generation before they even exist and I believe that God is honoring those prayers from those those people in the past to pray for those that when they are existing he started moving in their lives over those prayers that were prayed a long time ago you know so good yes and so that's one of the things I love to share with people you may not see it you may not even feel it but God has going to honor that prayer you know because he wants to you know and when I entered into heaven the prayers went to the father I came in and when I entered in all I remembered you know even telling you now and some people say oh that was a long time ago you go to heaven and come back and see if if it doesn't seem like it happened like that moment you're talking about it it's not like it happened that long ago it's like I'm still experiencing it but when I came in this is one of the things that hit me right off the bat everything was right and I fit you know I don't know how to describe to to people because I you know I go a lot of places I live in Virginia right now and I I've gone to uh minister to a lot of people in politics and they have a lot of what do you say protocols I don't know all the protocols I feel uncomfortable many times when I go because I have to look around and see how everybody else is doing it and I'll tell you something when I got to Heaven I fit so well that I didn't have to look around and see how everybody was doing it I knew I fit everything was right there was nothing wrong and I fit and the greatest thing about it it wasn't according to what I say it's right it was according to what he says it's right you know that Bible verse that says we are the righteousness of of of God through Jesus Christ I know what it really means so it was like your senses tell us about that your senses could feel more more heightened as far as love and you felt like you were home kind of walk us through the experiences through your senses and what you saw you know you have the five senses and uh I came to understand our our five senses on the planet is inhibit mainly by our own flesh and our own thinking because this flesh was not there my body was still on the planet you know it was dead I was not connected to it any longer my senses could be everything that God really created to believe to be I really believe this is the senses that Adam and Eve had before the fall you know I could see I could see I want I say you know in English say mouses maybe so said and and and Metro or something like that but I could see wow could I see I could see the most detailed thing on any place anywhere when I was in heaven I could hear there was nothing imp impeding my hearing most of us don't realize once my voice leaves my mouth it starts deteriorating in heaven it doesn't deteriorate at all I could feel I could feel that were really alive and it was like everything about me was not just feeling it but grasping it understanding it you know taste and smell let me tell you something Heaven has a taste and it has a smell and it's very very very very hard for me to describe the smell of heaven or the taste of Heaven mainly because of deterioration and what I mean by that things are dying here on the planet and whether we realize it or not we're always trying to filter through that death you know whether you realize I'm in a building right now and it's deteriorating you know even though it looks new it's deteriorating and whether I realize or not I'm I'm smelling that well in heaven nothing's deteriorating nothing's falling apart how do you describe the pureness of the smell there I've heard people say it smells like flowers and I could tell you that too but still you would have that deterioration getting in the way of the pureness of what that flowers or those flowers smell like let me tell you something that happened to me in Kentucky which is close to where you live at I was up there ministering one time and this guy came up to me after I had shared I was hard for me to to really tell you what it smelted like he said I can tell you what it smell like I can tell you what it smell like and he said to me it smell like fried chicken and I I literally looked at him and said you must have met the colonel there you know I'm in Kentucky Kentucky Fried Chicken just really wild I don't know why why he smelled it that way I'm thinking whatever is the best smell you could think of when you come back you're going to use that smell to try to describe what heaven is and maybe Fried Chicken was his best smell you know what I mean and they say that your sense of smell is one of your greatest senses you know so but it sounds like everything is in the purest form your and that includes love that includes the love of the father yeah the love was oh you're saying that you know um many people asking what was your greatest experience there and really a lot of times whatever I'm talking about is the greatest experience at the moment but I tell you something when I got there I always tell people I didn't go to heaven to be in heaven I went there because the father in Jesus is there people say what about the Holy Spirit he was on the inside of me he didn't jump out when I got there and say I got to go get somebody else but I wanted to be where Jesus is I wanted to be with the father and I remember coming Upon Jesus and I did exactly like the Bible says every knee will bow every tongue will confess I went down on my hands and knees before him I really didn't even see his face at the beginning I was looking at his feet and all I could say was you did this for me and what I meant by that I was only there because of what he had done you know I didn't experience death because of what he had done I had this great joy because of what he had done so I just wanted to say you did this for me and I felt like all of Heaven KN others he made it for also was just made for me and what was coming off of him was this light I always tell people just like John said he he was brighter than the Noonday Sun but I could look at him and the light that was coming off him was like him and you know ocean waves coming off the ocean and every moment it was coming was his love for me and it was more powerful every moment I didn't know this until I experienced this his love for me is still growing I thought he just loved me and that's it no by the time I tell you he loves me he loves me more than that if I was to say he loves you he loves you more than that you know and I didn't know that but I was experiencing the love coming off of him like in waves uh and then this is what got me I knew I was created for that love I don't know how to tell you any different than that I was created to receive that love I didn't have to adjust I didn't have to to to process it all I had to do was accept it wow you know wow and we forget that Dean and we forget that because that is what he wants he wants to us to experience the love it's not by works it's not by doing and get the love receive the love first yeah I wish I wish wish we could grab that you know coming back people always want to know all the other things that I experienced uh in heaven and I can tell you about the plants I can tell you people always want to know what Jesus looks like I can tell you what he looks like uh talk what is the father they ask all those and I can do that but I'm telling you when you get there none of that's going to matter what's going to matter is the love that he has for you it is going to be the chief thing and you're going to say to yourself I don't care what he looks like he loves me I don't care about heaven he loves me I don't care about this he loves me that's what's going to hit you more than anything else is love because you're going to have the pureness of what love really is and you're right you know I knew my good works didn't get me there and my bad Works didn't keep me out you know it was the love of God that got me there and because he died on the cross and sometimes I hear people say but I accepted him at a young age but he was here 2,000 years ago he came after you over 2,000 years years ago I always tell people he has already chosen you he just wants you to choose him and I know people say well what about this thing if we don't do this if we don't do this I'm thinking I don't do it because it gets me something I do it because I love him that's why I do what I do W that's so good I know it starts with the love first I think that's the premise is and everything else just is a byproduct of the love yes yes so when you were there that was that was what stood out the most so yes tell us you saw angels you did see plants trees there was there food go ahead and tell us a little bit about the details of Heaven of course you know there are plants there are um U beings that we call Angels they are redeemed there those that have been on the planet one time and left the planet and because they had known Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior um they were there also so you see all of that the the one I had a question there night a little kid asked me what does it look like I said it looks like this planet but without anything dying just how do you describe that and I'm out here right now in Virginia I'm in in close to woods and the woods look pretty even though the leaves are gone off the trees you know but there's dead branches everywhere there's dead grass everywhere in heaven nothing is dying always the Bible calls uh and you've heard this this before the Bible calls it moving from glory to glory everything is glorifying every moment and it gets more glory and more glory and more glory and there's no end to that and that's where you were created to be that's what God created you to be in was that Glory so in saying that to you you know I tell people all the time you know the kids all the time I say to them I say you know um the the glory that God has for us was eternal glory and we were created for that glory and the and the entire Realm Of Heaven is in that Glory so a man it's even hard to describe that but if you could look at a tree or a plant and you could look at it and just imagine nothing dying on it the best way I love it when kids color you know what I mean they color something without death if you ever look at it they're not coloring in death and so nothing's dying to them it's alive and it might be multiple colors one one of my best things about heaven is there's multiple colors colors is the colors people always say colors that we don't even describe on the planet yes you're right they they are they're coming off the father they're coming off Jesus all the time but let me tell you this the the best way you guys live in an area now where you see the changing of the seasons and you get those fall colors and the bright Reds and some blues and some purples on the trees you know how the trees really look that's how Heaven is all the time but the leaves never fall goodness I mean I would just think that you have this perran just looking at everything and and and and just absorbing it all it's just unfathomable to me well it is and it was made for you that's what you really you come to understand how personal God because he doesn't need it he's per he's he's he's perfect he doesn't need any other stuff but he made it for you he made that realm for you to be there for eternity is that good news or is that good news I mean come on talk about something to look forward to and having hope so Dean can you you know a lot of people want to know I I've lost family members and did you see family members did you have people there to talk to you know that was not my belief system so we'll start off there I didn't believe when you got to Heaven that it really matter if your family was there or not because you're all the family of God and here I am in heaven Jesus is before me as I said as I went down on my hand hands and knees I did get to see the rest of them because I looked up but I looked past him and on the other side of Jesus is my family my grandmother Mary was out front and behind her were other vales that I had been on the planet with and then behind them was generation after generation after generation after generation after generation and I thought wow you know they all came to greet me in that's what I they all came to greet me into heaven and the way I describe them because people want to know what do they look like they don't look old anymore or and and they look better than young people say they look young they look better than that the moment you look at them they're beautiful and the next moment they're more beautiful than that and the next you can't even really capture it how beautiful they're they are because by the time you think they're beautiful they look better than that so so I say that to people but this is the way I describe them and because this is their Essence they were shiny they had pure joy and they had a big smile and the reason they were shiny is because Jesus Christ was shining out of them okay that's why you know if if we could see the spirit that we are us that are born again we would be shiny and it's be reason is is because Jesus Christ would be shining out of us when I say pure joy I have two ways to describe that one is those that have become born again there's great joy that comes in that process of being born again the second way that I explaining is us that have had a child and we held the child in our arms I remember when I did I couldn't describe the joy I had it was unspeakable joy as the Bible would call it and the third way they had a big smile The Smiling was because they had no worries and I thought yeah we had no worries no nothing going wrong on this planet we all be smiling too that was a f fantastic in itself but listen to this I thought all my family is smiling at the the same time and it's not fake you know like like Thanksgiving just got down people did the the family pictures you know then doing those family pictures I can tell you right off the bat some people were Faking It you understand because they were smiling but in that case every family member was smiling and it wasn't fake and I always tell people you know it's you're in heaven when your entire family is smiling and and and Amal at the same time that is so true huh and that could only be in heaven I don't see that yeah you know and it made me happy because my dad went home to be Jesus a few years ago and he always smiled and I thought one of the biggest things that I had that no one else in my family probably had were these words I could say it man dad's gonna fit in because he loves smiling a I love that he's right at home huh he's right at home you know people even to this day they say I remember your dad he always had that big smile so you were there you got to see your family that's neat Generations upon generations and and so at what point uh you thought you were staying did you think Oh I thought I was staying I thought I was staying you know three times he told me to go back and it was the third time that I really laugh the other two times when he told me to go back I felt like to be honest with you when I got to the point where I could leave that realm uh and do enter back coming to this real I remember think thinking my body wasn't ready and I got to stay and I thought for sure I was staying I I tell people all the time I didn't go to heaven to to tour heaven for anybody or to come back and tell people I went to heaven because I thought I was staying that's what I tell people all the time you know one little boy he got it he said to me he came up to me and you may have heard the story he was 9 years old he said you died I said yes he said you went to heaven I said yes he said you came back I said yes and then he looked at me with these beautiful eyes I I remember they were brown eyes even and he said sorry that's what he said I thought that was so cute because he got it you know coming back to the planet was not the joy that most people think it is U because I was in a place where everything was right the other thing I want to tell you about my family that I think is important to everyone that has family there and whether you realize it or not all of you have family there was my grandmother Mary when Jesus was saying to me no it's not your time go back she looked at me and she said these words bring as many of us back with you as you can and she was talking about family sometimes people think she was mentioning everybody on the planet but she wanted her entire family there to be with her forever I always tell people you really get to experience family the way God meant it to be you know what I mean and and on the planet we we get glimpses of it but in heaven you get to be with family forever and you all get alone nobody has no issues no one has to bring up anything in the past and say you did this to me and you did this to me that type of thing you know so just to let you know when my grandmother said that to me one of my biggest desires is to get as many of my family members there to be and and people say well they don't listen to and I always tell people write them your story tell them what Jesus did in your life Don't Preach to them you know what I mean don't bring up a bunch of scriptures just tell them what Jesus did they can read it and crumble it up and throw it in the trash but now it's in them and God can use it wow that's so good you know what keeps coming to my mind too Dean is this life I think of James in the scripture where it talks it's just but a vapor here for a little bit and then vanish and and like you were saying your spirit had already left this that was just the body and so this time here is so short and eternal life where we're going to be forever like your Grandma Mary we want it to be there you know yeah yeah I I I want you know that's some of the things that I experienced I did also experience something I think you would enjoy we were all called around the Throne of God everybody always thinks when you get there all you got to do a sing and the reality of I came to understand what true worship is and that's doing the will of God if if you're doing God's will you are worshiping him so in heaven you're doing the will of God so anything you do you're worshiping him then there comes a time when you can worship Him in song or our praise as we say and I remember coming uh being called around the Throne of God with all of Heaven everything in heaven you know and we all came around and we told our father I love to say it this way we told our father how much we love him that's was great I mean I enjoyed that I enjoyed seeing other creations of God um give praise to Jesus and and and the father at that moment it was great you know so there was a lot of singing and and just thankfulness and love and and you know some people think well what am I gonna do in heaven but you're not going to be bored huh oh no bored the word bored does not exist most people don't realize that they think U I'm going to get bored Joy is is is dominant there and so if anything you're just going to be Joyful from one moment to the next moment to the next moment you're going to be moving from that glory to the next glory to the next Glory you were created for that I think on the planet it's hard for us to grasp that because we're always thinking that moment of Joy or that moment of happiness is going to go you know we know we enjoyed it at that moment you know it's like people take a vacation they go to the ocean or they go somewhere and they I'm enjoying this but they also having their mind well come tomorrow I got to get and leave well in heaven that that thought does not even exist is that good news yeah that sure is wow yeah it's definitely something uh other world it's not like it is here and yes and I know it sometimes you don't have even the words probably to articulate how glorious it is and but just to be able to get this to be able to share with people to give them the hope and excitement and a better place and all the things that you know we hope it to be you're saying yes indeed it is it is that and much more and much more and one of the reasons I use the scriptures is because I'm really way short in the English language of explaining it and I really believe you that know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and have the Holy Spirit on the inside of you if I can give you a scripture then you can read the word and God he can take you even even further if I just can tell you a story then it's my story but if I give you a scripture it is his story that I giving to you that's good thank you so Dean with when you were worshiping the Lord and and you felt the love from everybody what what was the throne room like what did you see with your eyes what can you can you share a little I know it's hard to explain but maybe share a little bit about that that experience you know a lot of times people always ask me about The Throne Room it seemed like all of heaven was the throne room I know we think about a building with a room and a chair on the inside of it I even thought that until I got there the Bible says Jesus says this you know Heaven is God's um throne and Earth is his foot stol the Bible says that in several places the Old Testament New Testament it really never describes a building or a room like we think it describes it seemed like everywhere because you can see the father in Jesus anywhere you are in heaven that's outside of our thinking I know a lot of people are right now saying how how can that be because we're thinking Earthly and not Heavenly you know he's omnipresence you know he could be everywhere all at the same moment at the same time you know so we have a hard time with that so when you're saying that to me I experienced it but I remember it was not a room like most people say I hear people say that some of my colleagues say that and I can't even find that in the word that says it's a it's a room usually is talking about a throne and we assume that was a room you know that type of thing I'm not trying to hurt anybody you can believe that because those things don't get you into heaven Jesus does you know what I mean you're going to find out there's a ton of stuff that we think is one way but when we get there we're going to find out there another way and we're going to thank God I am so glad that it it wasn't the way I thought it was and it was a different way and I'm glad I came to know you as Lord and savior because that's what gets you in all that other stuff they'll get you in so in saying that to you yes I saw the throne I saw the father on the throne I saw Jesus Christ literally um enter in that realm of where the father was and so I saw it all it's more beautiful than you could imagine you want to hear something can I share what something with you now this make they may go a little bit but it's in the word I'm not going to share it outside of the word about The Throne because I think it's so cool U because everything's alive in heaven and nothing's dead I tell people that all the time um there's a scripture in in Nehemiah that talks about that Nehemiah I think it's 96 that talks about how everything in Heaven's alive and oh it says Nehemiah 96 says you along under the Lord you made the heavens even the highest Heavens along with all their multitude of stars the Earth and all that is on it the Seas and all that are in them you impart life to them all and the multitude of Heaven worship you so just saying that to you I want to describe this next uh scene because I again I'm a Bible reader and here I am I'm experiencing these things in heaven and I get back on the earth and I'm reading the Bible and I there it is there it is and it's found in Revelation 19 1-5 and I'm just going to read the fifth verse it says then a voice came from the throne saying praise our God all you his servants and all you who fear Him both both small and great and what it was is the very Throne that God was sitting on was giving him praise and that's what it says I used to think it was saying it but if you hear the words says praise our God all you his servants I know some of you that but it's in the word of God and I experienced it wow so I just I had to share that because sometimes we kind of box him in and I and I experience so much but I always tell people 99% of everything I experience I can find in the word of God it isn't me manipulating scripture to get it that way way you know what I mean uh it is literally it's in there do I always understand it all no I'm not God but it's there wow and also I think of like any part of Heaven like like you said it's kind of everywhere the throne room or I I mean just trying to understand that you can say that it's okay but I'm just when you get there you because God is everywhere and wherever he is his throne is is that cool is that cool you know most of us don't think that way but he cannot there's a lot there's a whole lot I won't go into word detail you know as you said earlier I'm always trying to reach those that know don't know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior so my job is not to wow people with the knowledge I have my job is to make sure that people come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior I know this when you get there you're GNA see it in your way wow and and unlike we're going back really quick to our senses and seeing things is it different there in heaven like the world here on Earth where we're eating and we're you know uh are people in are playing games or I mean what are people doing are they just that's a good question you know everything leads back to I believe God has given us all gifts to enhance someone else or to serve someone else servant hood is the highest um we could ever get and you know most people don't look at that way we look at being served but the reality of the Bible Jesus said if you want to be great in the kingdom of God you have to be a servant and so in saying that to you so I believe God has given us gifts to serve somebody else it may look here different on the planet uh you know it fits a certain way on the planet but when you get to heaven whatever that is that God has given you you'll be able to use there in serving somebody and it may look different you know I love to encourage people I love to build people up I just love to do that that is a gift that God has given me ever since I was a little kid I've had that gift so in heaven most likely I'm going to be with people to be able to enhance what they are already doing and strengthening what they already are doing is that good news or is that good news you know so everybody has a purpose uh if we look at um when God blessed uh Adam and Eve um back in the first chapter of Genesis he used the word blessed and then he told them their purpose on the planet and what they were going to do and it's called works now work really didn't get infected until the third chapter of Genesis where then we find out okay that this work right here we're going to do we're gonna have to work harder to do the work that God has wanted us to do but really you're still going to be doing things in heaven I call it purpose um people would call it works but it's going to be a blessing it's not going to be a curse it's going to be a blessing all the way so when you get there you're going to be doing something that you love to do to enhance others sometimes people think I'm going to be fishing and I'm going to do a hobby and all that stuff it's it's greater than any hobby it's what God created you to do it comes out of you naturally I absolutely love that Dean because sometimes many of us struggle with like what is my purpose or uh I'm not even sure what I'm good at and just like you said everything is magnified to the um degree there so is your calling your purpose is that what I'm hearing from you that's what you're hearing from me and and we all have to realize even even in in the Bible Paul described it you know as a body you know as body parts uh sometimes you know I think we want every body part to act the way we think every body part should act you know what I'm saying and yet I'm not that body part and so I don't know how it's supposed to act but God knows how it's supposed to act even in heav heaven when you get there we're still a part of each other and what I do in heaven will impact you on what you do in heaven the greatest thing about it is though we will do exactly what God wants to do so the impact will always be life and death doesn't exist there so it always be life here on the planet there are things sometimes that we do that impact somebody else but it doesn't bring life to them it brings death to them and that's because of who we are and what we are in the sense of the the gift we have here on the planet you know here on the planet we can use the the gift for good and evil there it's only use for good I love that and every person is uniquely formed and fashioned and created for a purpose and no gift is better than another gift no gift is better that's the other thing you come to really understand no gift is better than the other gift it may be different than your gift but it's no better than your gift I love this this is one of the things I came back for with I didn't have this beforehand I always tell people I A Part not the part and so wherever I go even talking to you right now I do my part you do your part and it fits together and so I wherever I go whatever church I speaking in whatever venue I'm in I always think I'm a part not the part and when my part's over with someone else is going to do their part but it's all God's Parts is that is that does that make sense to you you know and when we're really in tune with in prayer and through relationship with him which is what he wants you're able to get all those downloads and do your that's right you're you're you're able to hear him and and do your part no matter how big it may seem or how small it Mak seem you know I I was in that uh movie you probably heard about called after death and I and I filmed a big part I ain't going to say I didn't feel a big part I fed a big part but by the time they cut it down I became it was a very small small part and and and I just thought to myself all I had to do was my part whether it's a big part or a small part doesn't matter my part is my part and other people did their parts you know and so God got the message across as he wanted to get it across we may not think it's that way but I know people that were impacted someone in your area uh text me and they said that they went to the theater to see the movie um with their children and they brought other dads and they brought their children children and one of the dads was afraid that his son when he saw the movie would be afraid of what he was seeing but without his even prompting his son about it the son brought up to him and said Dad I'm no longer afraid of death you know what I mean and and I thought to myself all the parts that went into that you know whether they were a lot or little God put it together and if that's what came out of it that one son I know other people were impacted too you know understand en me to say I know that I don't have to fear death when his dad thought he was going to see the movie and fear death what could we say we don't know Jesus knows you know yeah that's so good and so you wanted to stay there and Jesus said son it's time to go back he had other plans so tell us about your exit out of Heaven the way he said it was no is not your time go back when he said it to me the last time because he said two other times before then and I did leave to go but my body wasn't ready but the third time when he said he said to me no it's not your time to go back I remember the words coming directly to me everything that was standing in front of me moved out of the way so the words would come to me I remember when they entered in I had peace Comfort come right into me I felt like a soldier because I had been in the military before in the Air Force and I felt like a soldier saying yes sir that type of thing but I also felt like he was saying to me I need you there more than I need you here and I just felt like why wouldn't I do what he said so I I literally left there to come back to the planet and I remember coming back um once I left that realm I felt like a baby crying really hard I remember um entering into the hospital room you know going through all the same thing that I left and entering in the hospital room hovering over my bed and looking at my body and I remember thinking to myself I don't know to this day that I better turn over because I don't want my eyes to go in the back of my head you know that's you know I was thinking at the moment you know I don't think it really would happen you know I would have straightened up anyway God would have put me back right any way but some and I laid into that into that that bed to this day I remember that feeling of coming back into that that bed and then feeling things from a fleshly point of view you know what I mean my my hands my I I I felt different outside than I did inside and and so it was and that took time to adjust to to have those feelings again of this flesh all over me saying but I remember and I didn't want to come back you know what I mean um and it took me time to to adjust my family time to adjust um because of what I was um experienced you know and so I always tell people I had to grieve my own death you know um you know it was people don't realize something I died I was not the same when I came back and I wasn't a a terrible man when I left but when I came back to his body I was not the same and I and and I talked to many of my colleagues that have experienced this over the years and I've said to them you're not the same you have to grieve your own death and I probably wouldn't have known that but I was a counselor by trade so I knew the signs of grieving and I went through them you know I went through those signs I've never heard it like that before Dean were grieving your own death that makes sense because you came back and you wanted to be there and that was a death oh yeah and you're not the same you don't think the same you know most of us go through a process to get somewhere you know we could we did this step we did this step we did this step we did this step all of a sudden I'm thinking one way and the next moment I'm thinking another way and there's no process that said how I got there wow it's true and also like Camille had shared with me you know she all the all the things that seemed to matter before she left her body didn't matter anymore you know the way we look vanity different uh goals here on Earth did you feel that too felt that very much I had to adjust to it and how I adjust it is I people did matter to me so I had to say to myself oh that's beautiful to that person that person really cares for that they care I care for it too that's how I was linking to things it was through another person to be able to link you know in into something you know you know after I came back um about about three months later I went back to work and I remember going to work everybody thought you know they were going to go through me Memorial because they heard what had happened to me and then I also my job sent me to Hawaii um it was one of the things we and in Hawaii I just remember there looking at the ocean and everybody around me saying beautiful it was and I was like oh this is nothing compared to Heaven what I thinking I was thinking this place would be like a dump compared to Heaven that's what I was thinking in my head you know what I mean and everybody else was oh look how beautiful his all the so I had to start ad just and say well they think it's pretty it's pretty you understand what I mean that's how I started because I lived in Hawaii as well and I used to think how gorgeous it is and for you to say that it's like like but if you go to heaven nothing's dying everything is is is living and it's and it's getting more beautiful every moment so on the planet we're headed in the opposite direction things are deteriorating you know if you go back to the places like me and you were talking about earlier they look different and a lot of them have gotten looking old if you know what I'm talking about even the land looks different you know so and that's because the generation on the planet sin is in the planet things are dying on the planet right you know where in heaven it's the opposite direction wow so I know when you came back you you went through what you're explaining just now emotionally and everything what and physically the Lord's Supernatural he supernaturally yeah yeah I tell people a lot of times my wife and others prayed for me I call it a general because she kind of put out specifics on how to pray for especially when I came back and they had um put the two down my throat you know um because my lungs weren't operating my kids kidneys had stopped operating they really didn't expect me to live and and yet God because of miraculous things that happened I got healed you know miraculously but I really believe that's because my wife and others prayed for me she battled for me um she really guarded me um two things I love to tell people is that you know I lost oxygen to my brain for an hour and 45 minutes you cannot deny that that's Ally document it and usually if you lose oxygen to your brain from 5 to 8 minutes you end up with brain damage that's just theorm and yet I have an hour and 45 minutes where I have no oxygen to my brain I have no brain damage I really believe that's because my wife and others prayed and God healed my brain um you know even the doctors that come to my wife and they said he probably will have brain damage and she said it doesn't have to be that way and what she was saying she believed in a God that could do miraculous and he could take care of it you know so that's one of the things that I really you know um say that her and others pray for the other thing that I really got me is that she guarded me she went to anybody in the room after I came back that didn't believe that I could be totally healed and there were people that came that started speaking doubt and and and discouragement and she would say to them the visiting hours is over she wouldn't let them be around me um because she only wanted people that that were around me that believed that I could be totally healed and God healed and according to the medical records this is document 29 different things went wrong with this body and God healed all 29 and didn't leave a residue all that all that's doent I always tell people you could say I didn't go to heaven you could say I'm making this story up but you can't say I made that up because all that is documented wow I just love your wife and her faith and and your her prayers were answered yes very much you know you're right love that so Dean I know that you since have written several different books can you uh tell us where people can find you and a little bit about your books and and your website the website is called Dean bron.com just my name uh and then a doom and on it you can find shopping area and there's several books

the Throne of God and we told him how much we love him I do the best I can to describe the detailing of that process of what happened during that time another one is what it feels like to die we touched on that off and on of what I went through through the process of leaving my body and going to be with the Father and Jesus in heaven uh another one is called I need you there saying the king it's a coloring book story book you can say it for kids um it's really my shorter version of the in heaven book in in you know as a coloring of a story book um but when I say I need you there saying the king king I'm really trying to emphasize that God needs you here to finish your your your your purpose you know on this planet before you go there to be with him and then the last one is a woman's stand it tells you what my wife did to get the results she wanted I always say she did just want her her husband back on the planet she wanted me totally healed of everything that went wrong with his

finally Dean when I hear your story I hear hope what final words would you like to share with us today well you know the final words I had always emphasized earlier and for those that don't know Jesus Christ as Lord and savior he has chosen you he just wants you to choose him I know there's a lot of Hoops that people say you need to to to jump you know but my Bible tells me if you confess your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that you know he has been risen you shall be saved he has already chosen you the rest of it he will take care of there's things that I know you're saying well I don't I I got to stop doing this or this is what I'm doing he'll help you do that but you got to have that hope the second thing I want to give people hope those that have left the planet that you know that knew Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior you'll see them again you know when my dad left the planet as I use the word left the planet I will see him again I have that hope I will experience my father again for eternity and I will experience family the way God really meant for it to be experienced you know and I just look forward to that time when we're all there together
