Life After Death Experience (NDE) with Steve Gardipee, Vietnam War Story | One of the Best NDEs

you you okay the story I'm going to tell you it's it's going to be what actually happened to me and I'll be honest when I first started my life and I'd heard about the God that would be mean and vengeful and you send you'd go to hell and I had a chip on my shoulder because I felt he was promised me something and trust me what he promises us we cannot comprehend and when somebody promises me something I can't comprehend he's promising me nothing and then he created me where I was weak now given the temptation so I'm thinking what kind of God is this it's in keeping with what I learned about him that he promises you absolutely nothing and yes everything of you and then after my experience I found out he gives us everything and asked absolutely nothing of us the gift is that profound and then what happened as we had a Huey shot up the major said go find out who got him my job was to I was a scout pilot and I was gifted with the ability to find the enemy and no matter how well hidden they were so I went out and luckily or regrettably I found them and what to make long for sure we got shot up pretty bad we took 100 and some hits in that little loach and shot part of my controls out almost blew my left arm off and I got my leg shot up so we crashed and things started getting kind of vague at that point I understand my gunner pulled me out of the aircraft I thought I climbed out I do remember this has a point there was a little bush near my head and I realized oh this is the center of the base camp so what was surprising is I never felt any pain when I was laying down and my gunner was bandaged mahram I told him to leave we're not getting out of there and he said no he wouldn't leave me and things started getting kind of blurry my visions are getting blurred and that's I was the kind of guy that wouldn't ask a whole lot from God until I needed something and I needed to get out of there because we're in the middle of the base camp I'm shot up very bad my gunner got a bullet through the butt and I said we're going to get captured or we're going to get shot or I'm going to die somehow and I started bargaining with God I'll be good you know I'll be good for a week just get me out of here god I know that it's going to be tough and then things started getting kind of gray on me and I was wondering what's happening I said God please don't let me die please don't let me die I was terrified and then things went black pitch black now I know there's no way I'm going to get out of there because it's pitch black and I'm helpless and I can't even hardly move I've lost so much blood by then and then the unique thing started happening I started feeling pretty good and I'm till what's happening to me and I realized I was dying people say I'm done I was actually in the physical process of dying and at that point I stopped being afraid it's not I don't know how other people die but for me I thought dying was a horrible painful terrible thing and it was actually incredibly pleasant thing and as I was dying I accepted it and I said God this is obviously your will there's no bargaining anymore I quit bargaining with him because I knew I was dying and as I was fading back all of a sudden you hear about the bright light the brightest thing that you can imagine is a dark hole compared to the bright light that I saw and as I saw that I started feeling good and I got Demerol in a hospital all the things for pain they can't touch the feeling I was starting to feel and I'm I'm laying there in this beautiful bright light which I I describe later is it wasn't God is the light heat but he's loved I try to imagine is he energy what exactly he's got one thing he is literally made up of love and I started feeling that love around me and at one point I remember looking down sin my heads next to this bush and it was years later for Donna me you can't see your own head so at that point I had that that out-of-body experience and all that I went back into this little speck and in the lights getting bright brown I'm expanding out and everything within this bubble was like my new life in heaven and I expanded our member into the roots in the soil surrounding the roots of this little bush next to my head and I could see every molecule of water in the nutrients and the cells inside the plant from the inside the outside the top the bottom it was many many years later I realized plants take the nutrients up through molecules I saw that back in July 28th of 1970 and as I'm expanding out wonder what's going on then I start feeling this presence and it was God and he let me know that he's now surrounding me protecting me and I'm expanding out and now what words I tell you were weren't he didn't speak to me he made his thought known to me like I told my friends I'll say red and all of a sudden you'll see the color red in your head or I'll say Apple and you visualize an Apple so his thoughts were made known to me and as I'm expanding out he said to me and my interpretation he said you will expand out into the cosmos and know all these things will expand out into the cosmos and I was given power that was immeasurably more powerful than ever imagine God to be and I was still out still myself I remember kind of puffing my chest up saying I'm a super God not disrespect for God but I'm a super guy we cannot comprehend what we're going to become it's immeasurably more powerful than God is but we think he is as I'm kind of getting kind of cocky God made his thought known to me and he gave me a vision he's holding me in his hands like a premature infant this is what you are and I was telling Brides like I'm born again into heaven this time but he saw me and he I felt his proudness like a parent filled a child when they're first born and I'm thinking well this a confusion he sees to me his little child I felt his emotions I felt he was proud of me here's this new infant coming into his world but I'm still the Super God and then he smiled I felt him smile I felt his amusement he said even in this state that you were in as a super God you cannot begin to comprehend what I am we can't comprehend what we're going to be and he's still infinitely more powerful and loving and caring than that so that kind of put me back in my place and I'm thinking I'll be able to go anywhere and then all of a sudden he kind of backed away and I'm thinking I don't have a body this is frightening it started like me I actually went like this and I could feel my fingers in my hands and I said womp I can't see me but I'm here and then I said you're to go out and be out be everywhere so I kind of stepped out of my body and it was like all the sudden I could be anywhere in his creation at one time and I can focus on whatever I wanted to focus on then I went back in my body and I went back and forth a couple times and all of a sudden I started thinking every time I went back in where I could feel like I'm in a body it was horrible it was so confining I wanted to be out being free and out in the like the cosmos with God because I'm experiencing all these things the one that really surprised me was was his love and and I'd say take a dictionary and take all the bad words out regrets you know sorrow fear embarrassment they're not there there is absolutely nothing in heaven that is bad it's a hundred percent pure love and happiness all the things that I did in my past you could remember him but they were all forgiven it's like God I made you that way for a reason which was not made known to me and I'm feeling this love and I tell people his love was so strong I literally felt it it's like being in the air when it's calm you know the air is there but you can't feel it but then you soak in a warm more in bath that warm water you can feel that God's love was so strong I literally felt it you know I felt his presence and I knew I could be anywhere and I'm 11 I was forgiven and I thought this isn't a mean vengeful God like I was even telling Brian I remember the way I grew up and they said the people cower and they stand in the back of their church I'm not worthy of being upfront near their God well I had good loving parents when I met my dad we'd hug each other I didn't cower up to my dad well God doesn't want us to cower in front of him he wants that he created us strictly life he has one need that I thought I felt he needs to love that's why he created all this talk he didn't create us so he could lord over us and dominate over some make us feel inferior he wants to love us and and I thought that's that's not the God that I grew up knowing I I'm not going to be punished for for making my mistakes if I ask God to forgive me he will and another thing I saw that he will not pull you kicking and screaming into heaven if you don't want to go he didn't even know if is known but you're not coming you have to want him to forgive you and asked him to forgive you and he'll bring you no matter how bad you've been how horrible you've been how ashamed of yourself you are he forgives you if you just ask for him to forgive you he takes you into heaven so I'm sitting there and I'm thinking this is not what I thought it was going to be especially the dying part I thought everybody my family my friends my my loved ones I finished a tour in Vietnam and I volunteered to go back and it was on that extension where you know this happened I made it two months into my extension and I thought man I started praying I said mom and dad I'm sorry that I came back I made it through my first tour little beat-up and not not serious and now I came back here and I've hurt you because I was so selfish I wanted to come back and experience this this thing I thought I was fighting for if their freedom and all of a sudden God said you're not ready I suggest I'm come run you can't you can't be doing what you think you're doing you could have tried to send me back I won't go back you can't show me this and let me feel this love and this no worries of any kind of I will be alive for infinity and I'll send me back in my body and it's shot up and it's hurtin in the middle of the jungles I won't go back and you put me back in my body I'll make sure I die I felt like hell you can feel his emotion I felt his sternness and he said to me he wasn't angry but he was starting his tough love and he said no no you cannot take this only I can give this to you and if you ever try to take it it will never be yours and I remember I don't usually talk like this I'm not flowery in religious speak and I said father your will be done and I went back in the book say sometimes it's a ton of light it's a tunnel of love the light thing is to me in my opinion the misnomer you're surrounded strictly by love and the love is a bright light so bro that I called it an incredible incredible clearness because the mind can't comprehend anything that bright were that limited and as I'm going down this tunnel the demons from hell are trying to grab my soul and it's like again being it is ooh when you're behind a fence and you look at the horrible animal they don't frighten you you're curious and I couldn't feel their pain and suffering but I was made aware of their tremendous torment in hell and they don't even have the luxury of knowing they've got your soul I didn't see any bad souls and coming it was just a cast out demons from from that were in heaven now in hell and they were trying to get my soul because they never know if they've got you they have to fight constantly to get your soul because they they really don't ever have it because no matter how late it is in your life I'm laid out there in jungle dying and all this should I get religious this is God forgive me please please I'm sorry for everything I've done and of course he forgave me and I was in Syria what one these fall promises so they I'm going back down into my body then all of a sudden I'm back in it and I'm confused I'm thinking God take me back no God don't tell me but then I'm back to where I was where I got it bargain we thought let me die don't let me die and and then of course we're eventually rescued after several hours and I went to the hospital and we're going to my presidency I died to get on the table there and I didn't have the experience and they told my friends he died we've lost him go home and there's still friend of mine that don't know I'm alive but the experience that I got from that is all the little pettiness and with people of noise and all that it doesn't mean anything compared to what we're going to get it doesn't mean anything it's just a little you know prick on our side and I tell people now I know he will forgive me for what I do but I'm not going to take it for granted you can't come see I can send therefore I can ask for God's forgiveness that you have to have the sincerity and I see something where it's bad I've told people that give me the wrong change for example I said you gave me the wrong amount of change and he says why did you do that I said because he's watching it's for him and the only sadness I felt in heaven you know what my sadness it was God sadness and when I was going through that torment knowing that my friends would be suffering and all that thinking I just mean horrible death and my buddy Steve who was supposed to be here it regrettably he couldn't make it he tormented himself for years thinking I died his horrible death because he drug me through the jungle for two and a half hours popping bad guys I'm within three feet of him and he has a horrible experience and he said here I drug you to the woods for two and a half hours you suffered your moaning you're crying and then I let you die I should let you die immediately the pain you went through and I said I don't have a recollection of it but it so I just had a flashback sometimes I'm still there and he he couldn't separate that what happened to me then I'm the same person and I said all that was forgiven all that was wonderful but God cents that heartache that I had and you're not supposed to experience anything bad in heaven it's impossible you can't and that's when he said you're not ready because I was experience regrets and his sadness and it was made known to me I I'm saddened over what you do to each other when we do things to each other and harm each other hurt each other we're not hurting each other although we are were hurting him it saddens him what we do to each other he created us all to be wonderful and have a wonderful gift and sometimes being human I don't know why we have that weakness God knows and what made known to me that it hurts him when we hurt each other we live from each other we really kill each other that's a direct assault on on his emotions and so I felt blessed that I had a chance to go through that it honestly I'm not being facetious her it was worth getting shot for and I wonder one thing is in the Bible it says blessed is he who believes and has not seen well I wasn't that strong and I had a chip on my shoulder maybe that's what he protected me from as I am here I do love you and he let me see because I didn't believe without seeing and it changed my life and that even though I'm still human I still make my mistakes I constantly pray to God give me the strength I don't want to lose what I saw I want to be back in your love and please you know just help me be strong and thank you for everything you've done don't take him for granted and thank you for the blessings he gave me and that let me be his presence for there's no time up there so it's an instant it was in years and up that's pretty much the end of what happened to me I came back in my body and regrettably I was rescued and I'm here till the next time and I look forward to going home again thank you for listening and butt Oh
