Go to the light, we have heard this before.  So many  people claim they died and went to paradise.   Why not, when Jesus  was on the cross he told the thief you will be with me in paradise tonight?   There are so many people on record that were clinically dead and came back to life.  Which astonished the Drs.  Many say they have gone through a tunnel of bright light with beautiful colors.  Some said they saw angels, other beings and perhaps a loved one was their spiritual guide.  Others say they have seen other souls going to the light.  Many say they end up in paradise clothed in a translucent flowing gown white as pure snow.  They can see through their bodies and awareness of the peace, love and tranquility is unbelievable.  Angelic music seems to come from everywhere.  As if it was from a light touch of a butterfly.  Glorifying the Power and Honor of the Heavenly Father.  The sights of paradise are so overwhelming.  All the trees and flowers were perfection.  All the same, the glimmering of the flowers and leaves looked like diamonds.  The ground looked like spung glass with an icy look of shimmering pearls.  You could feel the love of Jesus everywhere.  Pure illumination; no sun is needed to light this paradise.  Jesus is the light illuminating the world.  Some say Jesus appears to them and explains what has happened and why.  He tells them they have to return and tell what awaits His children.  He sends them back with His love and His wisdom of what needs to be done.  The people that come back have been changed.  They gave up their jobs to become ministers of the word.  They have told what Jesus had shared with them.  I believe if this really has happened, what a wonderful and privileged gift this would be from God. by Amelia Anne 7/29/99

2 Corinthians 12:1: It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2: I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3: And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 4: How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 5: Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. 6: For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but [now] I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me [to be], or [that] he heareth of me. 7: And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8: For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.  9: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10: Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 11: I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. 12: Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
