On August 3, 1979, Rev. Howard Pittman, realizing that he was about to die, prayed that he would be permitted the privilege of going before the throne of God to ask for an extension on his life.

He was granted this privilege and much about the nature of demons, God, as well as the condition and future of humanity was revealed to him during his journey through the spirit realm.

On June 19, 2004, a South African family had a serious car accident. The accident left their 12 year old son, Aldo McPherson, in a coma and on life support.

God did a number of miracles for Aldo and his family. God allowed Aldo to experience heaven and then asked Aldo to share a message with the world. God also taught Aldo and his family — especially his mother Retha McPherson — how to speak life and restoration over Aldo’s physical condition. In response to their obedience God began healing Aldo.

Before sharing some of the messages Aldo brought back with him from heaven and some of the lessons Retha McPherson learned, I would like to share this video documenting Aldo’s recovery process after the accident.

Aldo McPherson’s Recovery

You can read or listen to Retha McPherson as she shares her family’s experience.

You can also watch Retha McPherson tell her family’s story as she is interviewed on It’s Supernatural with Sid Roth (below).

Aldo was unable to speak after his coma so he had to write when he wanted to communicate. He began writing to tell his family and the world what he had experienced in heaven and what God had been revealing to him.

His original letters were written in Afrikaans. You can see some of them and read the English translation provided under each one. Here is The Collection of Aldo McPherson’s hand-written letters from 2005 to the present.

It looks like the letters included in this collection supplement the ones already published in Aldo and Retha McPherson’s books. You can see some of these very interesting letters and read more of the story in the book A Message from God co-authored by Aldo McPherson and his mother Retha McPherson, which is available as a   new or used physical copy or as a digital eBook in our Spiritual Lifestyle Resources Book Store. You can also take a look at their second book From God: A Message of Faith.

Now, with modern medicine’s improved resuscitation techniques, we have many near death experience stories. But today, I want to share an NDE that occured over 40 years ago.

I recently came across the amazing testimony of a sky diver named Mickey Robinson. Back in August 15, 1968 tragedy hit. The airplane was making a sharp ascent when the engines stopped and the plane crash landed. The pilot was burned alive.

Most of the sky divers were able to get out of the plane without much damage. But Mickey was stuck in the plane because his harness was caught on something. By the time he was rescued, he was severely burned over 35% of his body. He would spend 167 consecutive days in the hospital and go through years of hospital treatment and endure over 50 surgeries.

At one point, the hospital called his sister and said if you want to see your brother, you better see him this morning because he may not be here this afternoon. It was that day, that Mickey’s spirit left his body and he experienced eternity.

I have found three videos where he shares aspects of his near death experience. The first one I saw was this recent interview with Patricia King through my iTunes subscription to Extreme Prophetic Television. However, I notice that the video is not playing correctly on her website (at least on my computer). I hope it plays for you because it is a great interview and the main reason I got interested in Mickey Robinson’s testimony. I recommend subscribing to the iTunes Extreme Prophetic Television podcast and watching the interview posted February 28, 2010.

Or you can watch this Sid Roth interview done 3 years ago. This is also a great interview because, in addition to his near death experience, Mickey shares how his blind eye was restored and how God healed him of damage that was considered incurable by the medical community. And then there is another surprising miracle healing that Mickey reveals in this video — but I don’t want to ruin the surprise…

Both of those interviews are a summary of his near death experience and won’t take much time to watch.

For a more thorough version of his story, check out this video where he shares more details of his story with a live audience:

Jennifer Perez became a Christian under the ministry of Nicky Cruz. She walked faithfully with Christ for two years. But then she went into high school and fell in with the wrong crowd. Soon she was being controlled by drugs.

One night she snuck out of her parents’ house to hang out with friends and landed in big trouble.

This is her testimony of what happened, including her visit to heaven and hell and back again to give the world a message from God.

You can either listen to her testimony in English or Spanish.

A transcript of her testimony along with audio and video options are available at SpiritLessons or you can listen to the YouTube videos below.

He was being groomed to be a great voodoo master and was becoming adept at projecting himself out of the body and ordering demons to go on missions for him.

Then the demons got the better of him and he died.
