Dean:
I FELT LIKE I WAS SHOOTING UP
LIKE A ROCKET.
2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,600
I COULD JUST REMEMBER
SAYING TO MYSELF, "I AM DYING."
3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,233
THAT DARKNESS,
IT LOOKED LIKE A THICK OIL.
4
00:00:11,233 --> 00:00:13,567
I DIDN'T WANT TO GO NOWHERE
NEAR THIS DARKNESS
5
00:00:13,567 --> 00:00:14,867
WHERE THE DEMONS WERE.
6
00:00:14,867 --> 00:00:17,633
BABY, IT'S OKAY.
I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
7
00:00:17,633 --> 00:00:20,567
THAT'S THE LAST THING
THAT I REMEMBER BEFORE I DIED.
8
00:00:20,567 --> 00:00:22,233
SOMETHING BAD HAS HAPPENED.
9
00:00:22,233 --> 00:00:24,800
HAVE I BEEN
IN A BAD CAR ACCIDENT?
10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:25,867
WHAT'S GOING ON?
11

Narrator:
THERE ARE THOSE WHO SAY
12
00:00:29,333 --> 00:00:31,033
THEY HAVE VISITED THE AFTERLIFE,
13
00:00:31,033 --> 00:00:34,067
CHALLENGING OUR UNDERSTANDING
OF DEATH.
14
00:00:34,067 --> 00:00:36,300
MOTIVATED BY THEIR OWN
EXPERIENCES
15
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:38,500
PULLING VICTIMS
BACK FROM THE GRAVE,
16
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:41,000
FOUR INVESTIGATORS
NOW SEEK TO SOLVE
17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,400
THE MYSTERIES OF RESURRECTION.
18
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,333
Johnny: THIS IS GONNA
HELP UNLOCK SOMETHING
19
00:00:45,333 --> 00:00:48,567
THAT HASN'T BEEN KNOWN
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
20
00:00:50,267 --> 00:00:53,133
REGARDLESS OF RELIGION,
THE PERSON WAS DEAD,
21
00:00:53,133 --> 00:00:54,467
AND THEY CAME BACK TO LIFE.
22
00:00:56,867 --> 00:00:58,233
Jesse:
WE'RE PURSUING THIS TO SHOW
23
00:00:58,233 --> 00:01:01,067
THAT THE IMPOSSIBLE IS,
IN FACT, POSSIBLE.
24
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,400
Sam: DEATH DOESN'T REALLY HAVE
THE FINAL SAY-SO.
25
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,633
WHY DID YOU DEFY THE ODDS?

THEIR OWN PERSPECTIVE
31
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:29,067
OF WHAT HAPPENS
IN THE AFTERLIFE.
32
00:01:31,067 --> 00:01:32,967
MAYBE THERE IS SOMETHING
THAT'S REPEATABLE.
33

THERE'S SOMETHING
THAT WE CAN GRAB HOLD OF
34
00:01:34,767 --> 00:01:37,167
AND SAY, "THIS SEEMS --
35
00:01:37,167 --> 00:01:39,867
THIS SEEMS REAL,
OR THIS SEEMS VERIFIABLE."
36
00:01:39,867 --> 00:01:43,933
ALL RIGHT, SO WE GOT A GUY
BY THE NAME OF DEAN BRAXTON.
37
00:01:43,933 --> 00:01:47,067
DEAN IS HAVING
A PRETTY ROUTINE PROCEDURE
38
00:01:47,067 --> 00:01:50,633
DONE FOR KIDNEY STONES,
WHICH IS USUALLY PRETTY TAME.
39
00:01:50,633 --> 00:01:52,133
YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT A LOT
THAT GOES WRONG WITH
40
00:01:52,133 --> 00:01:53,233
THESE KIDNEY STONE
PROCEDURES,
41
00:01:53,233 --> 00:01:55,100
BUT HE EXPERIENCED
SOME COMPLICATIONS
42
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:56,800
AND ENDED UP DYING.
43
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,067
HE ENDED UP GOING TO HEAVEN
44
00:01:59,067 --> 00:02:00,900
AND HAD A PRETTY
REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE.
45
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:03,433
AND IT'S A VERY
INTERESTING CASE.
46
00:02:03,433 --> 00:02:05,967
HOW LONG IS THE REPORT
THAT HE WAS DEAD?
47
00:02:05,967 --> 00:02:08,833
THEY WERE DOING CPR
FOR OVER 90 MINUTES.
48
00:02:08,833 --> 00:02:10,733
SO, I'M GONNA GO ASK
SOME QUESTIONS
49
00:02:10,733 --> 00:02:13,700
AND FIND OUT WHAT EXACTLY IT WAS
THAT KEPT THEM GOING,
50
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:15,633
WHY THEY WORKED FOR SO LONG,
51
00:02:15,633 --> 00:02:17,533
AND JUST UNCOVER --
MAYBE THEY HAD HOPE.
52
00:02:17,533 --> 00:02:20,133
MAYBE THEY FELT SOMETHING.
53
00:02:20,133 --> 00:02:21,733
HERE'S A CASE
ABOUT SHARON ABBOTT,
54
00:02:21,733 --> 00:02:24,167
THIS YOUNG LADY WHO ACTUALLY
DIED RIGHT AFTER CHILDBIRTH.
55
00:02:24,167 --> 00:02:25,900
EVERYTHING SEEMED
LIKE IT WAS GOING WELL,
56
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:28,800
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN
SHE JUST DIED.
57
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,233
SAM, ONE OF THE COOL THINGS
ABOUT THIS
58
00:02:31,233 --> 00:02:33,133
IS THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING
COMING TO LIFE
59
00:02:33,133 --> 00:02:35,167
AND SOMETHING GOING INTO DEATH.
60
00:02:35,167 --> 00:02:37,233
ONE MINUTE,
SHE'S HOLDING HER BABY,
61
00:02:37,233 --> 00:02:38,367
AND THEN THE NEXT MINUTE
62
00:02:38,367 --> 00:02:40,167
SHE'S GOT BLOOD
COMING OUT OF HER EYES.
63
00:02:40,167 --> 00:02:43,400
CRITICAL CARE DOCTORS GAVE HER
A ZERO CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.
64
00:02:45,867 --> 00:02:47,733
ZERO CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.
65
00:02:47,733 --> 00:02:51,967
SO IT SAYS HERE SHE WENT
TO WHAT SHE WOULD CALL HEAVEN.
66
00:02:51,967 --> 00:02:53,133
I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT THAT WAS LIKE.
67
00:02:53,133 --> 00:02:55,167
WE'LL SEE
IF WE CAN DRAW PARALLELS
68
00:02:55,167 --> 00:02:57,867
TO ANY OF THE OTHER CASES
THAT WE'VE SEEN.

TAKE ME BACK TO THAT DAY.
81

I CAME IN TO BE INDUCED
WITH MY THIRD CHILD, JAKE.
82
00:03:38,633 --> 00:03:41,867
AND HAD
A VERY NORMAL PREGNANCY.
83

THEY JUST THOUGHT
THAT JAKE WAS GETTING TOO BIG
84
00:03:44,267 --> 00:03:46,967
AND DECIDED TO INDUCE HIM
A WEEK EARLY.
85

VERY SOON, OKAY?

OKAY, SOUNDS GOOD.

HEY, JAKE'S HERE.
LOOK.

THE NURSES CLEANED JAKE UP
AND HANDED HIM RIGHT TO ME.
99

I WAS JUST HOLDING HIM
AND LOVING ON HIM LIKE MAMAS DO.
100

OH, LOOK AT HIM.
LOOK AT BABY JAKE.

HE'S HERE.
GOT YOUR EYES.

AND I JUST BEGAN TO FEEL SICK
AT MY STOMACH.
103
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,633
AND I LOOKED AT MY HUSBAND,
WAYNE,
104
00:04:33,633 --> 00:04:35,567
AND I SAID, "I NEED YOU
TO TAKE THE BABY
105

BECAUSE I'M GETTING SICK."

I WAS GONNA PASS OUT.
108
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:45,067
AND SO I JUST
SAT BACK IN THE BED.
109
00:04:45,067 --> 00:04:47,167
AND AT THAT TIME, THE NURSES
WERE ALREADY WORKING
110
00:04:47,167 --> 00:04:50,600
BECAUSE MY BLOOD PRESSURE
WAS DROPPING.
111

NURSE, I NEED YOU TO HANG
A BOLUS OF FLUIDS.

AS WELL.
115
00:04:58,767 --> 00:05:01,400

COMING OUT OF ME AT THIS POINT.

00:05:22,167 --> 00:05:23,533

BIT MORE THAN WE WANT YOU TO.

I DIDN'T REALIZE
WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
130
00:05:36,867 --> 00:05:39,700
I KNEW THAT MY BLOOD PRESSURE
WAS DROPPING
131
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:41,933
AND THAT THAT WAS THE REASON
I WAS BEING SICK.
132
00:05:41,933 --> 00:05:47,367
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT
IT WAS AS SERIOUS AS IT WAS.

FOR FOUR UNITS RIGHT NOW.

I WILL NEVER FORGET
THE LOOK ON HIS FACE.
139
00:06:02,967 --> 00:06:04,233
SHARON, YOU'VE LOST
A LOT OF BLOOD.
140
00:06:04,233 --> 00:06:05,600
I NEED YOU TO STAY WITH ME.
141
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:08,567

"I'M DOING EVERYTHING
THAT I CAN DO TO HELP HER,
143
00:06:12,167 --> 00:06:14,100
AND IT'S NOT HELPING."
144
00:06:16,633 --> 00:06:18,133
HER BLOOD PRESSURE
IS VERY LOW.
145
00:06:18,133 --> 00:06:20,600
HOW LOW IS IT?
65/40.
146
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,267
EVERY HUMAN PART OF ME
WANTS TO LIVE
147
00:06:24,267 --> 00:06:26,267

MY CHILDREN GROW

00:06:26,267 --> 00:06:28,267

WITH MY FAMILY.

AND IT WAS GETTING BAD FAST.

I NEED THAT BLOOD NOW!

TO TELL HIM...

BABY, IT'S OKAY.
I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
157
00:06:57,700 --> 00:07:00,567
HE UNDERSTOOD
WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY TO HIM.
158
00:07:00,567 --> 00:07:05,133
AND THEN I JUST
SAW HIM CRUMBLE IN THAT CORNER.

00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:39,267
I UNDERSTAND YOU GOT
A FASCINATING STORY.
171
00:07:39,267 --> 00:07:40,733
YEAH.
YOU DIED.
172
00:07:40,733 --> 00:07:41,900
YEAH, YEAH.
173
00:07:41,900 --> 00:07:44,133
I WAS CLINICALLY DEAD
FOR AN HOUR AND 45 MINUTES.
174
00:07:44,133 --> 00:07:47,267
SO, DEAN, TAKE ME BACK
TO THAT DAY THAT YOU DIED.
175
00:07:47,267 --> 00:07:50,800
WELL, YOU KNOW,
IT WAS ABOUT 2006, MAY 5th.
176
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,667
I HAD A SIMPLE KIDNEY STONE,
177
00:07:52,667 --> 00:07:55,100
AND IT TURNED OUT
TO BE A REALLY BAD DEAL.
178
00:07:56,367 --> 00:07:58,433
Dean: FIRST OF ALL,
I WOKE UP WITH PAIN.
179
00:07:58,433 --> 00:08:00,733
AND I KNEW WHAT IT WAS
RIGHT OFF THE BAT
180
00:08:00,733 --> 00:08:04,300
BECAUSE I'VE HAD KIDNEY STONES
BEFORE.
181
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:07,067
WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR,
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK.
182
00:08:07,067 --> 00:08:09,633
THE PAIN SEEMED TO GET WORSE
AND WORSE AND WORSE.
183
00:08:09,633 --> 00:08:14,400
IT FEELS LIKE YOUR SIDE
IS BURSTING.
184
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,133
AND I JUST REMEMBER MY STOMACH
STARTING TO TURN.
185
00:08:17,133 --> 00:08:19,067
AND I THOUGHT
I COULD MAKE IT HOME,
186
00:08:19,067 --> 00:08:20,300
BUT I DIDN'T MAKE IT HOME.
187
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:22,467
AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW,
I'M PUKING IN THE CAR.
188
00:08:22,467 --> 00:08:25,267
I REALIZED
THAT THIS WAS NOT GOING AWAY
189
00:08:25,267 --> 00:08:27,400
AND I NEEDED TO GO
TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM.
190
00:08:30,233 --> 00:08:33,100
I WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM,
TOLD THEM I HAVE A KIDNEY STONE.
191
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:34,467
THIS IS A KIDNEY PAIN.
192
00:08:34,467 --> 00:08:37,300
Man: HE SEEMS THAT YOU HAVE
MULTIPLE KIDNEY STONES,
193
00:08:37,300 --> 00:08:38,967
AND ONE THAT WE'RE VERY
CONCERNED WITH
194
00:08:38,967 --> 00:08:40,133
ACCORDING TO YOUR LAB WORK.
195
00:08:40,133 --> 00:08:42,500
THE DOCTOR CONFIRMED
THAT I HAD KIDNEY STONES.
196
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:44,533
MATTER OF FACT,
NOT JUST A KIDNEY STONE,
197
00:08:44,533 --> 00:08:45,800
BUT KIDNEY STONES.
198
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,067
THE X-RAYS, THEY FOUND
A NUMBER OF KIDNEY STONES.
199
00:08:48,067 --> 00:08:50,900
AND EVERYTHING WAS BACKING UP
AND ENDED UP
200
00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:54,100
WITH A KIDNEY INFECTION
BECAUSE OF THAT.
201
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,600
SO THEY DECIDED THAT THEY
WOULD KEEP ME OVERNIGHT,
202
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,967
GIVE ME A LOT OF ANTIBIOTICS.
203
00:08:57,967 --> 00:08:59,400
AND THEN IN THE MORNING
THEY SET ME UP
204
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,233
TO BE ABLE TO HAVE
MY KIDNEY STONES BLASTED.
205
00:09:03,233 --> 00:09:05,233
THE PROCEDURE
TO BREAK UP THE KIDNEY STONE,
206
00:09:05,233 --> 00:09:06,667
HOW WERE THEY GONNA DO THAT?
207
00:09:06,667 --> 00:09:09,600
WELL, THEY WERE GONNA DO IT
WITH THIS ULTRASOUND MACHINE.
208
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,100
-I'VE HAD IT ONCE BEFORE.
-OKAY.
209
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:12,933
AND I CAN REMEMBER
THE FIRST TIME I EVER HAD IT,
210
00:09:12,933 --> 00:09:14,533
WHICH WAS
ABOUT 4 YEARS EARLIER.
211
00:09:14,533 --> 00:09:16,833
I WENT INTO THE HOSPITAL
IN THE MORNING,
212
00:09:16,833 --> 00:09:18,467
AND I WAS OUT
BY THE AFTERNOON.
213
00:09:18,467 --> 00:09:20,200
I ENCOUNTER A LOT OF PEOPLE
WITH KIDNEY STONES.
214
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,733
AND I KNOW
THAT THEY'RE EXTREMELY PAINFUL.
215
00:09:22,733 --> 00:09:25,500
BUT TYPICALLY,
IN MY EXPERIENCE,
216
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:26,900
THEY'VE BEEN
PRETTY MANAGEABLE.
217
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:28,233
THIS TIME WAS A WHOLE
DIFFERENT THING.
218
00:09:28,233 --> 00:09:29,300
OKAY.
219
00:09:31,067 --> 00:09:32,500
THAT NIGHT, I CAN REMEMBER
220
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:34,567
THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY
WERE GIVING ME MEDICATION,
221
00:09:34,567 --> 00:09:35,767
I COULD STILL FEEL THE PAIN
222
00:09:35,767 --> 00:09:37,600
OFF AND ON THROUGH THE EVENING.
223
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,267
I HAD CHILLS.
224
00:09:39,267 --> 00:09:41,267
I WAS COLD.
I WAS HOT.
225
00:09:41,267 --> 00:09:43,467
IT WAS GOING BACK AND FORTH.
226
00:09:43,467 --> 00:09:45,067
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND AT THE TIME
227
00:09:45,067 --> 00:09:48,133
IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE INFECTION
I HAD IN MY BODY.
228
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,867
AFTER THE OPERATION,
THEY PUT ME IN RECOVERY ROOM.
229
00:09:54,867 --> 00:09:57,467
AND I CAN REMEMBER
MY WIFE BEING THERE.
230
00:09:57,467 --> 00:10:00,933
SLOW BREATHS RIGHT NOW.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
231
00:10:00,933 --> 00:10:03,433
YES.
232
00:10:03,433 --> 00:10:06,200
AND I'M WAKING UP,
YOU KNOW, COMING OUT
233
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,967
OF ALL THE MEDICATION
THAT THEY'VE GIVEN ME.
234
00:10:08,967 --> 00:10:12,300
BUT I ALSO AM REALIZING
I CAN'T BREATHE THAT WELL.
235
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:14,733
[ GASPING ]
MY GOD, WHERE'S THE DOCTOR?
236
00:10:14,733 --> 00:10:15,900
DOCTOR!
237
00:10:15,900 --> 00:10:18,000
WHERE'S THE DOCTOR?
DOCTOR!
238
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,400
THAT'S WHEN I STARTED THINKING,
"SOMETHING'S GONE WRONG HERE,"
239
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,800
BECAUSE AT THAT MOMENT,
I'M REALIZING
240
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,333
THAT I'M IN THE MODE OF DYING.
241
00:10:26,333 --> 00:10:30,433
I COULD JUST REMEMBER
SAYING TO MYSELF, "I AM DYING."
242
00:10:30,433 --> 00:10:33,233
AND IT WAS LIKE,
"WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?"
243
00:10:33,233 --> 00:10:35,500
I CAME IN
FOR A SIMPLE KIDNEY STONE.
244
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:37,800
THIS IS A SIMPLE OPERATION.
245
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,100
WHY AM I NOW AT THE MOMENT
WHERE I CANNOT CATCH MY BREATH?
246
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:44,233
NURSE,
I NEED HIM INTUBATED RIGHT NOW
247
00:10:44,233 --> 00:10:47,467
AND DOWN TO ICU, STAT.
248
00:10:47,467 --> 00:10:48,833
WHEN THEY BLASTED THE STONES,
249
00:10:48,833 --> 00:10:52,400
THEY PUSHED THE POISON
INTO MY BLOODSTREAM.
250
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,800
THE DOCTOR SAID
THAT THEY NEEDED TO INTUBATE ME,
251
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,033
OR PUT A TUBE DOWN MY THROAT.
252
00:10:57,033 --> 00:10:59,333
Woman: WE'RE LOSING HIM.
PREP FOR SURGERY.
253
00:10:59,333 --> 00:11:01,300
YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T GO
INTO THE HOSPITAL TO DIE.
254
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:03,300
I DIDN'T THINK
I WAS GONNA DIE THAT DAY.
255
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:06,567
ALL I KNEW IS
THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING TO ME.
256
00:11:06,567 --> 00:11:07,967
WE HAVE A CODE BLUE.
257
00:11:07,967 --> 00:11:09,233
Jesse:
DOCTORS WORKED DESPERATELY,
258
00:11:09,233 --> 00:11:10,800
BUT FAILED TO KEEP THE INFECTION
259
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,433
FROM STRIPPING DEAN'S BODY
OF LIFE.
260
00:11:13,433 --> 00:11:15,733
Dean:
MY LUNGS HAD STOPPED OPERATING.
261
00:11:15,733 --> 00:11:17,567
AT THAT POINT,
I WAS CLINICALLY DEAD.
262
00:11:17,567 --> 00:11:19,300
AND FROM THERE,
I STEPPED INTO THE AFTERLIFE.
263
00:11:29,133 --> 00:11:30,567
Sam: I'VE BEEN
INVESTIGATING THE DEATH
264
00:11:30,567 --> 00:11:33,833
AND RESURRECTION
OF SHARON ABBOTT.
265
00:11:33,833 --> 00:11:37,300
SHARON'S THIRD CHILD
WAS BORN A HEALTHY BABY.
266
00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:40,467
AND SHE WAS EAGER FOR HIM
TO MEET HIS TWO OLDER SIBLINGS
267
00:11:40,467 --> 00:11:42,700
OUT IN THE WAITING ROOM.
268
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:45,500
BUT NOT LONG AFTER,
SHARON BEGAN TO HEMORRHAGE BLOOD
269
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:47,467
FASTER THAN THE DOCTORS
COULD REPLACE IT.
270
00:11:47,467 --> 00:11:49,733
WE NEED A TYPE AND CROSS
FOR FOUR UNITS RIGHT NOW.
271
00:11:49,733 --> 00:11:56,233
AND THIS NEW LIFE LEFT A MOTHER
OF THREE ON THE BRINK OF DEATH.
272
00:11:56,233 --> 00:11:57,933
SO WHEN YOU WERE LAYING THERE
IN THE BED,
273
00:11:57,933 --> 00:11:59,700
WHAT WAS ACTUALLY GOING
THROUGH YOUR MIND?
274
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:02,333
DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU WERE
ACTUALLY GETTING READY TO DIE?
275
00:12:02,333 --> 00:12:06,133
I KNEW THAT THINGS WEREN'T GOING
LIKE THEY HAD PLANNED.
276
00:12:06,133 --> 00:12:10,367
I KNEW THAT I WAS BLEEDING
MORE THAN THEY WANTED ME TO.
277
00:12:10,367 --> 00:12:12,133
Man: WE'RE LOSING MORE BLOOD.
WE NEED AN IV ON THIS ARM.
278
00:12:12,133 --> 00:12:13,500
Sharon:
I COULDN'T SEE AT THIS POINT.
279
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:15,233
EVERYTHING WAS DARK FOR ME.
280
00:12:15,233 --> 00:12:17,733
BUT I COULD HEAR SOME THINGS,
281
00:12:17,733 --> 00:12:19,667
AND IT WAS REALLY LOUD.
282
00:12:19,667 --> 00:12:21,833
IT WAS LOUD,
AND IT WAS JUST CHAOS.
283
00:12:21,833 --> 00:12:24,467
WE NEED TWO MORE UNITS.
SHARON...
284
00:12:24,467 --> 00:12:27,300
ALL OF THE SUDDEN,
IT WENT FROM LOUD CHAOS
285
00:12:27,300 --> 00:12:36,367
TO COMPLETE AND TOTAL PEACE...
AND LOVE AND CALM.
286
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,567
I BELIEVE I WENT TO HEAVEN.
287
00:12:40,567 --> 00:12:44,533
IT WAS, LIKE,
A GREEN GARDEN SETTING.
288
00:12:44,533 --> 00:12:47,533
I WAS IN THE PRESENCE
OF THE LORD,
289
00:12:47,533 --> 00:12:50,067
AND I KNEW IT WAS HIM.
290
00:12:50,067 --> 00:12:54,567
I WAS WALKING SO CLOSE
THAT I COULD SMELL HIM.
291
00:12:54,567 --> 00:12:56,967
IT'S LIKE THE FRAGRANCE
AFTER THE RAIN.
292
00:12:56,967 --> 00:13:00,600
IT COULD TAKE MY BREATH
JUST FOR A MOMENT.
293
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:06,067
I COULD LITERALLY FEEL
THE LOVE AND PEACE SURROUND ME
294
00:13:06,067 --> 00:13:09,867
LIKE A BLANKET
WOULD SURROUND YOU.
295
00:13:09,867 --> 00:13:13,267
WE WALKED ON FOR WHAT SEEMED
LIKE A LONG TIME TO ME.
296
00:13:13,267 --> 00:13:15,333
THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE
ALONG THE PATH
297
00:13:15,333 --> 00:13:16,833
THAT WE WERE WALKING ON.
298
00:13:16,833 --> 00:13:19,133
THERE WERE PEOPLE
WALKING THE SAME DIRECTION
299
00:13:19,133 --> 00:13:21,667
THAT WE WERE GOING,
AND PEOPLE WALKING TOWARD US.
300
00:13:21,667 --> 00:13:25,867
I WASN'T FOCUSED
ON THE SCENERY AND WHERE I WAS.
301
00:13:25,867 --> 00:13:29,433
I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT WAS GOING ON,
302
00:13:29,433 --> 00:13:31,467
AND THEN I REMEMBERED.
303
00:13:31,467 --> 00:13:32,833
I HAD BABY JAKE,
304
00:13:32,833 --> 00:13:36,100
AND HE'S FINE, BUT I'M NOT.
305
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:38,467
I'M DYING,
AND THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING.
306
00:13:38,467 --> 00:13:40,500
SO WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOU WERE?
307
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:42,900
I THINK I WENT TO HEAVEN.
308
00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:45,467
I BELIEVE THAT
THAT'S WHERE I WAS.
309
00:13:45,467 --> 00:13:50,167
I DIDN'T KNOW
IF I COULD OR SHOULD STAY THERE.
310
00:13:50,167 --> 00:13:51,800
I TALKED TO HIM, AND I SAID,
311
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,267
"YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT
THIS BRAND-NEW BABY
312
00:13:53,267 --> 00:13:56,267
AND MY FAMILY
THAT I LOVE SO MUCH.
313
00:13:56,267 --> 00:13:57,700
AND, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO LIVE.
314
00:13:57,700 --> 00:13:59,767
MY WILL IS TO LIVE."
315
00:13:59,767 --> 00:14:01,533
BUT IF IT'S YOUR WILL,
316
00:14:01,533 --> 00:14:03,433
I'LL STAY HERE WITH YOU.
317
00:14:03,433 --> 00:14:05,933
"PLEASE JUST MAKE SURE
MY FAMILY'S TAKEN CARE OF."
318
00:14:05,933 --> 00:14:08,767
NOBODY WANTS TO DIE,
319
00:14:08,767 --> 00:14:10,833
BUT I WAS READY TO GO.
320
00:14:13,333 --> 00:14:16,433
I DON'T REMEMBER
HIM EVER SPEAKING TO ME.
321
00:14:16,433 --> 00:14:18,400
BUT I DIDN'T REALLY EXPECT
HIM TO.
322
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,067
IT WASN'T LIKE I WAS WAITING
ON HIM TO SAY SOMETHING TO ME.
323
00:14:22,067 --> 00:14:25,933
IF HE'D HAVE SAID,
"I'M TAKING YOU ON,"
324
00:14:25,933 --> 00:14:27,467
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL RIGHT.
325
00:14:27,467 --> 00:14:28,767
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN OKAY.
326
00:14:28,767 --> 00:14:31,867
THERE WAS THAT MUCH PEACE
AND LOVE,
327
00:14:31,867 --> 00:14:35,500
THAT IF HE'D HAVE TAKEN ME ON,
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL RIGHT.
328
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:38,333
Sam: WHILE SHARON WALKED
THROUGH THE HEAVENLY GARDENS,
329
00:14:38,333 --> 00:14:39,700
MEDICAL RECORDS SHOWED
330
00:14:39,700 --> 00:14:41,533
DOCTORS WERE ABLE
TO STABILIZE HER
331
00:14:41,533 --> 00:14:44,933
IN A MEDICALLY INDUCED COMA.
332
00:14:44,933 --> 00:14:51,467
THE LORD DID GRANT MY REQUEST
BECAUSE I CAME BACK.
333
00:14:51,467 --> 00:14:53,233
I OPENED MY EYES.
334
00:14:53,233 --> 00:14:54,500
I LOOKED AROUND ME.
335
00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:58,333
THERE WERE PICTURES
OF MY CHILDREN AROUND
336
00:14:58,333 --> 00:15:02,133
ON SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT
THAT THEY HAD WITH ME.
337
00:15:02,133 --> 00:15:05,300
I WAS ON A VENTILATOR
AT THAT POINT.
338
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:07,600
YOU'RE AWAKE?
339
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,167
AND MY HUSBAND SAYS
THAT I SAT UP IN THE BED
340
00:15:10,167 --> 00:15:12,367
AND THAT I WAS SWOLLEN
TO THE POINT
341
00:15:12,367 --> 00:15:14,667
THAT I COULDN'T HOLD ANYTHING
IN MY HAND.
342
00:15:14,667 --> 00:15:17,400
SO I WAS ABLE TO WRITE OUT
IN THE AIR
343
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,167
THAT I HAD BEEN TO HEAVEN.
344
00:15:22,533 --> 00:15:25,100
YOU WENT TO HEAVEN, BABY?
345
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:27,633
AFTER I RECOVERED,
THE DOCTOR SAID
346
00:15:27,633 --> 00:15:30,333
THAT IT WAS JUST A MIRACLE
THAT I WAS ALIVE.
347
00:15:30,333 --> 00:15:32,500
Sam: WHILE SHARON
AND HER FAMILY CELEBRATED,
348
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:34,167
HER DOCTORS WERE BAFFLED.
349
00:15:34,167 --> 00:15:36,700
SHE HAD BEEN IN THE ICU
FOR 3 DAYS
350
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:40,133
AND WAS NOT EXPECTED TO RECOVER.
351
00:15:40,133 --> 00:15:43,133
DID YOU EVER ACTUALLY FIND OUT
THE CAUSE OF YOUR DEATH?
352
00:15:43,133 --> 00:15:45,800
WELL, THERE WERE SEVERAL
THEORIES ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
353
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,867
MY OB DOCTOR FEELS LIKE
354
00:15:47,867 --> 00:15:50,667
IT WAS AN AMNIOTIC FLUID
EMBOLISM.
355
00:15:50,667 --> 00:15:53,300
THEY HAD SOME THAT THOUGHT
THAT I WAS SEPTIC.
356
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:57,067
THEY NEVER REALLY CAME
TO A COMPLETE AGREEMENT.
357
00:15:57,067 --> 00:16:00,067
SHARON, WAS THERE ANYBODY HERE
ON EARTH, WHILE YOU WERE DEAD,
358
00:16:00,067 --> 00:16:02,933
TRYING TO WORK A SPIRITUAL
INTERVENTION TO BRING YOU BACK?
359
00:16:02,933 --> 00:16:05,400
MY BROTHER-IN-LAW, J.D.,
DURING THIS TIME,
360
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,533
HAD A VERY INTERESTING
EXPERIENCE
361
00:16:07,533 --> 00:16:09,667
WHEN HE CAME IN TO SEE ME.
362
00:16:12,367 --> 00:16:14,300
NOW I'M CURIOUS
WHAT SHARON'S BROTHER-IN-LAW
363
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:16,567
EXPERIENCED
WHEN HE WENT TO SEE HER.
364
00:16:19,067 --> 00:16:20,633
I NEED TO SPEAK WITH J.D.
365
00:16:20,633 --> 00:16:23,367
TO SEE IF HE CONTRIBUTED
TO HER RESURRECTION.
366
00:16:26,500 --> 00:16:28,133
HOW YOU DOING, J.D.?
DOING GOOD, BROTHER SAM.
367
00:16:28,133 --> 00:16:29,267
YOU DOING ALL RIGHT TODAY?
GREAT.
368
00:16:29,267 --> 00:16:30,600
GOOD TO MEET YOU.
369
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,100
JUST GOT THROUGH MEETING
WITH SHARON.
370
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:33,833
SHE WAS TELLING ME
ABOUT HER STORY.
371
00:16:33,833 --> 00:16:35,067
I TELL YOU,
IT'S AN AMAZING STORY.
372
00:16:35,067 --> 00:16:36,333
WHAT TRANSPIRED?
373
00:16:36,333 --> 00:16:37,533
AS I REMEMBER,
GOING BACK TO THAT DAY,
374
00:16:37,533 --> 00:16:39,267
I GOT TO THE HOSPITAL
ABOUT 30 MINUTES
375
00:16:39,267 --> 00:16:40,900
PRIOR TO JAKE BEING BORN.
376
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:42,800
WELL,
DID WE HAVE THE BABY YET?
377
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,633
AND I HAD JUST MADE IT
TO THE HOSPITAL.
378
00:16:44,633 --> 00:16:46,333
AND THEY CAME OUT AND, YOU KNOW,
HAD TOLD EVERYBODY
379
00:16:46,333 --> 00:16:48,500
IN THE WAITING ROOM
THAT JAKE HAD BEEN BORN.
380
00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:51,600
5 MINUTES LATER,
ONE OF THE NURSES TOLD ME,
381
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,900
"WE'VE GOT A MAJOR PROBLEM.
SHARON IS BLEEDING PROFUSELY."
382
00:16:55,900 --> 00:17:00,067
THE MOOD WENT IMMEDIATELY
FROM JOY, YOU KNOW, AND ELATION
383
00:17:00,067 --> 00:17:02,067
TO YOUR HEART DROPPING
INTO YOUR ANKLE.
384
00:17:02,067 --> 00:17:03,867
AND EVERYTHING WAS JUST STOPPED.
385
00:17:03,867 --> 00:17:07,167
IT'S LIKE TIME JUST STOPPED
IMMEDIATELY AT THAT POINT.
386
00:17:07,167 --> 00:17:10,700
Sam:
DR. KEEHN HOSIER WAS ATTENDING
TO SHARON THAT DAY.
387
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:14,100
DR. HOSIER TOLD US THAT SHE HAD
ZERO PERCENT CHANCE OF SURVIVAL,
388
00:17:14,100 --> 00:17:15,600
THAT THERE WAS NOTHING
THEY COULD DO...
389
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,067
THERE'S NO REASON TO BELIEVE
THAT SHE'LL SURVIVE THIS.
390
00:17:18,067 --> 00:17:20,067
...THAT IT WAS BASICALLY OVER.
391
00:17:20,067 --> 00:17:22,733
THIS WAS THE SADDEST MOMENT
392
00:17:22,733 --> 00:17:26,400
I'VE EVER HAD
IN MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER
393
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,300
WAS TALKING TO HER FAMILY.
394
00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:32,200
YOU HAVE SUCH A HAPPY MOMENT
FOR THEIR CHILD,
395
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,367
AND THEN
YOU HAVE TO TELL SOMEBODY
396
00:17:34,367 --> 00:17:36,533
THAT THE CHILD IS GOING
TO GROW UP WITHOUT A MOTHER.
397
00:17:38,767 --> 00:17:41,767
WE KNEW AT THAT MOMENT THAT WE
HAD TO GET A PRAYER CHAIN GOING.
398
00:17:41,767 --> 00:17:43,500
EVERYONE WAS KIND OF CALLING,
YOU KNOW,
399
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:46,133
EVERYBODY THAT THEY COULD
THINK OF TO BEGIN TO PRAY.
400
00:17:46,133 --> 00:17:48,200
AND WE HAD DROVES OF PEOPLE
THAT CAME TO THE HOSPITAL
401
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,300
FROM, YOU KNOW, CHURCHES
THAT WERE REPRESENTED
402
00:17:50,300 --> 00:17:52,133
AMONGST OUR FAMILY
THAT WE ATTEND TO
403
00:17:52,133 --> 00:17:54,867
THAT CAME AND BEGAN TO PRAY
THERE AT THE HOSPITAL.
404
00:17:54,867 --> 00:17:59,400
Sam: WHILE THE FAMILY PRAYED,
DR. HOSIER REJOINED THE ER TEAM.
405
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,167
THEY FOUND A FAINT HEARTBEAT,
406
00:18:01,167 --> 00:18:05,367
AND PUT SHARON
INTO A MEDICALLY INDUCED COMA.
407
00:18:05,367 --> 00:18:07,267
DR. HOSIER
HAD HIS FINAL CHECKLIST
408
00:18:07,267 --> 00:18:09,833
TO GO OVER
CONCERNING SHARON'S FUTURE.
409
00:18:09,833 --> 00:18:11,633
Keehn: I TRIED TO SEE
HOW RESPONSIVE SHE WAS.
410
00:18:11,633 --> 00:18:13,367
I SHONE THE LIGHT IN HER EYES
411
00:18:13,367 --> 00:18:17,167
AND WAS NOT ABLE TO GET
ANY SORT OF PUPILLARY RESPONSE.
412
00:18:17,167 --> 00:18:18,933
WHEN THE PUPILS
ARE FIXED AND DILATED,
413
00:18:18,933 --> 00:18:20,367
THAT'S GENERALLY A SIGN THAT
414
00:18:20,367 --> 00:18:23,433
HIGHER BRAIN FUNCTION
HAS CEASED.
415
00:18:23,433 --> 00:18:25,100
IN LAYMAN'S TERMS,
416
00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:26,933
THE PATIENT
IS ESSENTIALLY BRAIN-DEAD.
417
00:18:26,933 --> 00:18:29,267
SHE HAD A VENTILATOR BREATHING
FOR HER,
418
00:18:29,267 --> 00:18:33,767
AND SHE WAS KEPT ALIVE
BY MACHINES.
419
00:18:33,767 --> 00:18:36,100
SO AFTER HEARING
THAT DEVASTATING NEWS
420
00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:38,233
OF ZERO PERCENT PROBABILITY
OF HER LIVING,
421
00:18:38,233 --> 00:18:39,933
EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED
AFTER THAT.
422
00:18:39,933 --> 00:18:41,600
MY ASSOCIATE PASTOR
OF MY CHURCH CAME.
423
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,367
HE SAID, "WE'VE GOT TO GO
PRAY NOW FOR SHARON."
424
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,400
J.D.: MYSELF,
ALONG WITH MY ASSOCIATE PASTOR,
425
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,967
WENT INTO THE ROOM
WHERE SHARON WAS AT.
426
00:18:49,967 --> 00:18:53,467
AT THAT POINT, I LAID MY HAND
UPON SHARON'S FOOT,
427
00:18:53,467 --> 00:18:59,400
AND IT WAS THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT
I'VE EVER SEEN THAT CAME IN.
428
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,133
AND I KNEW THEN EVEN THOUGH
MY BODY WAS STANDING THERE,
429
00:19:02,133 --> 00:19:04,400
WHERE SHE WAS AT,
I WAS NO LONGER THERE.
430
00:19:11,833 --> 00:19:14,167
Jesse: ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL
FOR KIDNEY STONES,
431
00:19:14,167 --> 00:19:17,300
DEAN BRAXTON'S ROUTINE SURGERY
TURNED FATAL
432
00:19:17,300 --> 00:19:19,800
WHEN A BLOOD INFECTION
SHUT DOWN ALL OF HIS ORGANS.
433
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,467
YOU'RE GONNA STAY
WITH ME HERE, SIR.
434
00:19:21,467 --> 00:19:23,533
DEAN DIED
ON THE OPERATING TABLE.
435
00:19:23,533 --> 00:19:25,067
FOR NEARLY 2 HOURS,
436
00:19:25,067 --> 00:19:27,667
DEAN'S BRAIN RECEIVED NO OXYGEN
OR BLOOD FLOW...
437
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:29,233
NURSE,
I NEED THAT CRASH CART.
438
00:19:29,233 --> 00:19:31,533
UNTIL THE DOCTORS
WERE ABLE TO REGAIN HIS PULSE
439
00:19:31,533 --> 00:19:33,567
AND PLACE HIM ON LIFE SUPPORT.
440
00:19:36,767 --> 00:19:40,433
THE INFECTION THAT YOU HAD,
IT SHUTS DOWN YOUR LUNGS,
441
00:19:40,433 --> 00:19:41,833
AND IT SHUTS DOWN YOUR HEART.
442
00:19:41,833 --> 00:19:43,067
CORRECT.
AND YOU DIED.
443
00:19:43,067 --> 00:19:44,067
YES.
444
00:19:44,067 --> 00:19:45,933
SO TELL ME,
WHAT WAS THE FIRST THING
445
00:19:45,933 --> 00:19:47,333
THAT YOU EXPERIENCED
AFTER YOU DIED?
446
00:19:47,333 --> 00:19:50,267
THE FIRST THING I REMEMBER
WAS LEAVING THE HOSPITAL ROOM.
447
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,267
Dean: I FELT LIKE I WAS
SHOOTING UP LIKE A ROCKET,
448
00:19:56,267 --> 00:19:58,733
BURSTING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
449
00:19:58,733 --> 00:20:02,167
AND IT WAS A BLUE SKY.
450
00:20:02,167 --> 00:20:06,100
I REMEMBER
ENTERING INTO OUTER SPACE...
451
00:20:06,100 --> 00:20:08,233
THEN HEADING TO DARKNESS.
452
00:20:11,133 --> 00:20:13,433
AT THE OTHER END
OF THIS DARKNESS
453
00:20:13,433 --> 00:20:16,567
WAS, LIKE, A WINDOW OF LIGHT.
454
00:20:16,567 --> 00:20:20,433
I COULD ALWAYS SEE THAT LIGHT,
THAT WINDOW.
455
00:20:20,433 --> 00:20:23,800
AND I WAS GONNA ENTER
INTO THAT WINDOW.
456
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,267
IN THIS PITCH DARKNESS,
457
00:20:25,267 --> 00:20:30,400
THERE WERE LIGHTS
THAT WERE SHOOTING PAST ME.
458
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,200
SINCE MY SENSES
WERE SO HEIGHTENED AT THIS TIME,
459
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,467
I KNEW THESE LIGHTS THAT WERE
PASSING ME BY WERE PRAYERS.
460
00:20:36,467 --> 00:20:39,733
AND THEY LOOKED
LIKE SHOOTING STARS
SHOOTING PAST ME.
461
00:20:39,733 --> 00:20:41,733
SO THEY WERE MOVING
FASTER THAN I WAS,
462
00:20:41,733 --> 00:20:44,133
AND I WAS MOVING
AT AN INCREDIBLE SPEED.
463
00:20:46,433 --> 00:20:47,567
WOW.
THAT'S AMAZING.
464
00:20:47,567 --> 00:20:49,133
[ Laughing ] YEAH,
IT WAS AMAZING TO ME, TOO.
465
00:20:49,133 --> 00:20:50,400
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
466
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,033
IS THAT SOMETHING
THAT YOU REALIZE LOOKING BACK?
467
00:20:52,033 --> 00:20:53,400
OR DID YOU KNOW
IN THAT MOMENT
468
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,167
THAT THOSE WERE PRAYERS
SHOOTING PAST YOU?
469
00:20:55,167 --> 00:20:56,633
I KNEW THAT IN THAT MOMENT.
470
00:20:56,633 --> 00:20:58,000
I COULDN'T TELL YOU
HOW I KNOW,
471
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,067
BUT I JUST KNEW THAT THEY
WERE PRAYERS PASSING ME BY.
472
00:21:02,067 --> 00:21:04,933
BUT WHAT REALLY GOT ME IS
WHEN I ENTERED INTO THIS LIGHT.
473
00:21:04,933 --> 00:21:07,067
WHEN I WENT THROUGH
INTO THE LIGHT,
474
00:21:07,067 --> 00:21:10,067
IT WAS BRIGHTER THAN ANYTHING
I'VE EVER IMAGINED.
475
00:21:10,067 --> 00:21:14,067
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
I HAD JOY AND PEACE AND COMFORT.
476
00:21:14,067 --> 00:21:17,167
THERE'S FLOWERS.
THERE'S MEADOWS.
THERE'S LANDSCAPE.
477
00:21:17,167 --> 00:21:18,500
EVERYTHING IS RIGHT.
478
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:21,767
THERE'S NOTHING DECAY,
SO THERE'S NO DEATH.
479
00:21:21,767 --> 00:21:25,200
THE COLORS WERE MORE BRILLIANT
THAN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE.
480
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,133
AND IT SEEMED LIKE EVERY MOMENT,
THERE WAS A NEW COLOR.
481
00:21:28,133 --> 00:21:31,067
BUT THERE WAS NO DARKNESS
TO IT AT ALL.
482
00:21:31,067 --> 00:21:34,267
I HAD SEEN THINGS THERE IN
HEAVEN THAT I'D SEEN ON EARTH,
483
00:21:34,267 --> 00:21:37,333
BUT NEVER LIKE I SAW THEM THERE.
484
00:21:37,333 --> 00:21:41,067
I MOVED TOWARD THIS FOREST
THAT WAS IN FRONT OF ME.
485
00:21:41,067 --> 00:21:42,900
AND IT HAD
ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL TREES.
486
00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:45,800
AND I COULD REMEMBER
AS I MOVED FORWARD TOWARD IT,
487
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,700
IT SEEMED LIKE THE GROUND
RAISED UP BEFORE ME
488
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:49,900
AND MADE A PATH.
489
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:52,600
AND THEN THE TREES MOVED
OUT OF THE WAY.
490
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,400
WOW.
491
00:21:57,833 --> 00:21:59,800
SEEMED LIKE
ALL OF THE CREATION THERE
492
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,733
WAS SAYING,
"HE'S GOING TO SEE THE KING.
493
00:22:01,733 --> 00:22:04,767
HE'S GOING TO SEE THE KING.
HE'S GOING TO SEE THE KING."
494
00:22:08,067 --> 00:22:11,967
ONCE I GOT THROUGH THE FOREST,
JESUS WAS STANDING UP.
495
00:22:11,967 --> 00:22:17,067
AND HE WAS ADDRESSING BEFORE HIM
A NUMBER OF HIS CREATIONS.
496
00:22:17,067 --> 00:22:18,933
SOME OF THEM WERE ANGELS.
497
00:22:18,933 --> 00:22:22,533
SOME OF THEM WERE PEOPLE
THAT HAD GONE ON BEFORE ME.
498
00:22:22,533 --> 00:22:25,533
HE WAS TALKING TO THEM
FROM THOUGHT TO THOUGHT.
499
00:22:25,533 --> 00:22:26,967
I CAME UP TO HIM,
500
00:22:26,967 --> 00:22:31,633
AND I JUST BOWED BEFORE HIM,
AND I HIT THE GROUND.
501
00:22:31,633 --> 00:22:33,567
AND WHEN I HIT THE GROUND
ALL I COULD SAY WAS...
502
00:22:33,567 --> 00:22:36,200
THANK YOU.
YOU DID THIS FOR ME.
503
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,067
THE NEXT WORDS
THAT CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH
504
00:22:38,067 --> 00:22:39,900
AFTER THAT WAS, "THANK YOU,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU,
505
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:43,133
THANK YOU, THANK YOU,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU."
506
00:22:43,133 --> 00:22:44,900
AFTER MOMENTS THERE, HE SAID,
507
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:46,567
"NO, IT'S NOT YOUR TIME.
508
00:22:46,567 --> 00:22:49,900
GO BACK."
509
00:22:49,900 --> 00:22:52,533
I WAS OKAY WITH IT.
510
00:22:52,533 --> 00:22:55,500
I JUST KIND OF WENT FLYING
OVER THE TREES.
511
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:58,067
WENT BACK TO WHAT I CALL
THE EDGE OF HEAVEN.
512
00:23:02,067 --> 00:23:05,667
I KNEW THAT I HAD ENTERED
INTO THIS AREA
513
00:23:05,667 --> 00:23:08,333
THAT,
ONCE I MOVED ONE MORE STEP,
514
00:23:08,333 --> 00:23:10,767
THAT I WOULD BE OUT OF HEAVEN.
515
00:23:10,767 --> 00:23:13,733
THAT DARKNESS,
IT LOOKED LIKE A THICK OIL.
516
00:23:13,733 --> 00:23:16,533
IN THAT DARKNESS AREA
WAS ALL THESE DEMONS.
517
00:23:16,533 --> 00:23:18,900
IT WAS LIKE
THEY WERE TRAPPED THERE.
518
00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:21,367
AND I KNEW
THAT THEY WERE DETERIORATING.
519
00:23:21,367 --> 00:23:22,933
THEY WERE FALLING APART.
520
00:23:22,933 --> 00:23:27,067
SO THEY WERE GETTING UGLIER
EVERY MOMENT.
521
00:23:27,067 --> 00:23:30,333
SO, DEAN, STANDING AT WHAT
YOU CALL THE EDGE OF HEAVEN,
522
00:23:30,333 --> 00:23:33,700
LOOKING AT THIS DARKNESS FILLED
WITH DEMONS AND CREATURES,
523
00:23:33,700 --> 00:23:35,167
YOU MUST HAVE
BEEN FRIGHTENED
524
00:23:35,167 --> 00:23:37,600
OR AT LEAST KNEW THAT
YOU DIDN'T WANT TO GO THERE.
525
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,067
WELL, YOU KNOW,
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, JESSE,
526
00:23:40,067 --> 00:23:42,900
YES, ANYBODY WOULD PROBABLY
BE FRIGHTENED.
527
00:23:42,900 --> 00:23:43,967
YOU KNOW, WHAT I MEAN?
528
00:23:43,967 --> 00:23:45,533
LOOKING AT WHAT I WAS SEEING
AND SAYING,
529
00:23:45,533 --> 00:23:47,200
"I DON'T WANT TO END UP THERE
AT ALL."
530
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:50,933
AND THEN I WAS COMING BACK
TO THIS PLANET.
531
00:23:50,933 --> 00:23:53,133
I REENTERED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
532
00:23:53,133 --> 00:23:55,067
I REENTERED INTO THAT BUILDING,
533
00:23:55,067 --> 00:23:58,100
AND I SAW THE CHAOS.
534
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:00,600
Man: NURSE,
I NEED THAT CRASH CART.
535
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,867
COME ON, MR. BRAXTON.
I NEED YOU TO FIGHT FOR US.
536
00:24:02,867 --> 00:24:04,767
WE'RE NOT
GONNA LOSE YOU TODAY.
537
00:24:04,767 --> 00:24:05,900
I SAW THEM RUNNING AROUND.
538
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:08,433
I SAW THEM TRYING
TO DO ALL THIS STUFF.
539
00:24:08,433 --> 00:24:12,067
AND THEN I JUST REMEMBERED
SETTLING BACK DOWN INTO MY BODY.
540
00:24:12,067 --> 00:24:14,200
BLOOD PRESSURE'S COMING UP.
HEART RATE?
541
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,400
STEADY AT 82.

[ MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY ]
543
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,800
YOU CAME BACK TO LIFE
AT THAT MOMENT?
544
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,267
-YOU RECONNECTED WITH YOUR BODY?
-I RECONNECTED WITH MY BODY.
545
00:24:23,267 --> 00:24:24,500
-THAT'S WHEN YOU CAME
BACK TO LIFE?
-YES, YES, YES.
546
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:27,300
WOW. DEAN, WOULD YOU SAY
THAT THERE WAS ANYBODY
547
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:30,667
THAT STICKS OUT IN YOUR MIND
THAT PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE,
548
00:24:30,667 --> 00:24:31,900
OR INTERVENED
549
00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:33,767
THAT BROUGHT YOU BACK
FROM THE DEAD?
550
00:24:33,767 --> 00:24:36,200
YES, JESSE.
THAT WOULD BE MY WIFE, MARILYN.
551
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,567
SHE DID A LOT OF THINGS
TO MAKE SURE
552
00:24:38,567 --> 00:24:40,800
THAT I WOULD BE ALIVE
ON THIS PLANET.
553
00:24:43,700 --> 00:24:46,667
Jesse: IF DEAN'S WIFE DID A LOT
TO BRING HIM BACK,
554
00:24:46,667 --> 00:24:49,700
I NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT.
555
00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:52,067
WERE THOSE HER PRAYERS
FLYING PAST HIM?

558
00:24:57,067 --> 00:24:58,800
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR MEETING ME OUT HERE.
559
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,533
I JUST CAME FROM YOUR HUSBAND,
DEAN.
560
00:25:00,533 --> 00:25:02,167
-RIGHT.
-AND HE WAS TELLING ME
561
00:25:02,167 --> 00:25:07,400
THAT YOU PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE
IN HIS BEING RESURRECTED.
562
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,933
I JUST WAS NOT
GOING TO LET GO.
563
00:25:11,733 --> 00:25:13,933
MARILYN JOINED HER HUSBAND
AS HE RECOVERED

00:25:13,933 --> 00:25:17,067
FROM A ROUTINE
KIDNEY STONE PROCEDURE.
565
00:25:17,067 --> 00:25:20,400
IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
THE DOCTOR'S ON HIS WAY.

Marilyn:
WHEN I SAW DEAN IN RECOVERY,
567
00:25:23,367 --> 00:25:25,433
I NOTICED THAT HIS LIPS
LOOKED ALMOST,
568
00:25:25,433 --> 00:25:27,633
LIKE, KIND OF ASH COLOR.
569
00:25:27,633 --> 00:25:29,900

THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG.

00:25:30,967 --> 00:25:32,200

HAVING TROUBLE BREATHING
AT THE TIME.
573
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:35,067
AND THAT'S WHEN THE DOCTOR SAID,
574
00:25:35,067 --> 00:25:36,900
"WE NEED TO INTUBATE
YOUR HUSBAND RIGHT NOW
575
00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:38,933
OR ELSE HE COULD DIE."

Sam: SHARON ABBOTT'S FATAL
COMPLICATION AFTER CHILDBIRTH
580
00:25:55,133 --> 00:25:59,500
LEFT DOCTORS TRYING TO REVIVE
HER FOR OVER 35 MINUTES.
581
00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:03,300
SHE WAS STABILIZED AND PUT
INTO A MEDICALLY INDUCED COMA,
582
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:07,067
BUT THE DOCTORS OBSERVED NO
SIGNS OF HIGHER BRAIN FUNCTION.

00:26:07,067 --> 00:26:10,933
THERE'S NOTHING MORE
THAT WE CAN DO.

AS A BAPTIST MINISTER,

J.D.,
586
00:26:14,533 --> 00:26:17,600
FELT COMPELLED
TO LEAD A PRAYER VIGIL.
587
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,700
YOU SAID YOU WERE STANDING
OVER SHARON'S BODY.
588
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:21,500
AND YOU SAID YOU HAD
AN OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE.
589
00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:24,067
COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT?
590
00:26:24,067 --> 00:26:25,167
J.D.:
I WENT INTO THE ROOM
591
00:26:25,167 --> 00:26:28,533
WITH MY ASSOCIATE PASTOR
TO SEE SHARON.
592
00:26:28,533 --> 00:26:31,300
AT THAT POINT, I LAID MY HAND
UPON SHARON'S FOOT,
593
00:26:31,300 --> 00:26:35,167
AND WHEN THAT HAPPENED,
594
00:26:35,167 --> 00:26:39,067
I WAS NO LONGER IN THE ROOM.
595
00:26:41,467 --> 00:26:44,500
WHEN I OPENED MY EYES,
IT WAS LIKE --
596
00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:45,767
I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IT.
597
00:26:45,767 --> 00:26:48,100
I'VE NEVER SEEN THE COLORS.

00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:50,867
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
LIKE WHAT I SAW.
599
00:26:50,867 --> 00:26:54,067
IT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE
I'D EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
600
00:26:54,067 --> 00:26:58,367
THE LOVE THAT'S THERE
CANNOT BE EXPRESSED.
601
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,133
IT CANNOT.
602
00:27:00,133 --> 00:27:02,067
IT MELTS THROUGH YOU

00:27:02,067 --> 00:27:05,067
LIKE THERE IS NOTHING
ON THIS EARTH.
604
00:27:05,067 --> 00:27:06,700
PEOPLE CAME TO ME
605
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:09,467
EVEN THOUGH I HAD NEVER LAID
EYES ON ANY OF THEM.
606
00:27:09,467 --> 00:27:14,567
BUT I KNEW
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
607
00:27:14,567 --> 00:27:16,500
AND IT WAS A PLACE
THAT I KNEW THAT --
608
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:18,200
I COULD SPEND FOREVER HERE.
609
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,067
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,
IT CAME TO ME WHY I WAS THERE.
610
00:27:22,067 --> 00:27:25,100
AND I BEGAN TO CRY OUT
FOR SHARON'S BEHALF,
611
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:26,400
BEGGING HIM, "LORD..."
612
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,133
PLEASE DON'T TAKE HER.
613
00:27:28,133 --> 00:27:29,633
"SHE'S GOT TO STAY.

00:27:29,633 --> 00:27:32,433

INVOLVED IN THIS."
615

THE GREAT LIGHT CAME OVER ME.
616
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:36,800
THE LIGHT WAS SO BRIGHT.
617
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,767
IT WAS SO GLORIOUS,
I COULDN'T LOOK UPON IT.
618
00:27:38,767 --> 00:27:40,433
I IMMEDIATELY FELL ON MY FACE,
619
00:27:40,433 --> 00:27:42,967
AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO SPEAK.
620
00:27:42,967 --> 00:27:44,333
ALL OF A SUDDEN,
THE LORD SPOKE TO ME,
621
00:27:44,333 --> 00:27:50,067
AND HE SAID, "SON, LOOK UP."
622
00:27:50,067 --> 00:27:53,467
SHARON WAS KNEELING,
COMPLETELY DRESSED IN WHITE.
623
00:27:53,467 --> 00:27:56,067
THAT'S WHEN I GAINED
THE ABILITY TO SPEAK.
624
00:27:56,067 --> 00:27:57,467
PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU.
625
00:27:57,467 --> 00:28:00,433
SEND HER BACK.
626
00:28:00,433 --> 00:28:03,167
SHARON LOOKED UP AT ME,
627
00:28:03,167 --> 00:28:04,800
TURNED HER HEAD
TO THE LEFT AT ME,
628
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,233
AND SHOOK HER HEAD YES.
629
00:28:06,233 --> 00:28:10,233
AND I KNEW INSTANTLY, I KNEW IT,
THAT IT WAS ALL RIGHT.
630
00:28:10,233 --> 00:28:13,567
SO WHEN YOU CAME BACK FROM
HEAVEN INTO THE ROOM THERE...
631
00:28:13,567 --> 00:28:14,733
I IMMEDIATELY WOKE BACK UP.
632
00:28:14,733 --> 00:28:15,967
I HAD TO TAKE MY LEFT HAND
AND HOLD ON TO THE BED
633
00:28:15,967 --> 00:28:17,867
'CAUSE I COULD NOT STAND.
634
00:28:17,867 --> 00:28:20,167
AND I HAD TO HOLD MYSELF THERE
AS TIGHT AS I COULD
635
00:28:20,167 --> 00:28:21,633
TO BE ABLE TO GATHER MYSELF
636
00:28:21,633 --> 00:28:24,767
SO I COULD THEN LEAVE HURRIEDLY
AND GET TO THE PRAYER ROOM.
637
00:28:24,767 --> 00:28:27,333
COULD YOU DESCRIBE WHAT
THE ATMOSPHERE WAS LIKE
WHEN YOU CAME BACK?
638
00:28:27,333 --> 00:28:29,267
GLOOM AND DOOM WHEN I WALKED
IN THE DOOR, STILL.
639
00:28:29,267 --> 00:28:30,700
AND EVERYBODY STILL
IN A PLACE OF SHOCK.
640
00:28:30,700 --> 00:28:32,833
AND I TOLD MY MOTHER-IN-LAW
SHARON'S MOM,
641
00:28:32,833 --> 00:28:33,933
I SAID, "LOOK,
IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
642
00:28:33,933 --> 00:28:35,567
I DON'T KNOW HOW.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.
643
00:28:35,567 --> 00:28:37,333
BUT I'M TELLING YOU,
IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
644
00:28:37,333 --> 00:28:38,867
IT'S GONNA BE OKAY."

WHILE J.D. CONTINUED TO PRAY
WITH SHARON'S FAMILY,
646
00:28:44,133 --> 00:28:46,300
KEEHN HOSIER, SHARON'S DOCTOR,

00:28:46,300 --> 00:28:49,067
RETURNED TO HER BEDSIDE

FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS.
650
00:28:52,867 --> 00:28:54,067
I DIDN'T THINK
SHE WAS GONNA BE ALIVE
651
00:28:54,067 --> 00:28:55,767
WHEN I GOT TO THE HOSPITAL
THE NEXT DAY.
652
00:28:55,767 --> 00:28:57,867
I WAS VERY SURPRISED
WHEN I GOT THERE
653
00:28:57,867 --> 00:29:00,433
AND SAW
THAT SHE WAS STILL HANGING ON.
654
00:29:00,433 --> 00:29:01,600
I THOUGHT SHE'D BE

00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,833
VERY SIGNIFICANTLY BRAIN DAMAGED
AT THAT POINT
656
00:29:03,833 --> 00:29:05,700
BECAUSE SHE WAS
SO CRITICALLY ILL,
657
00:29:05,700 --> 00:29:08,867
AND SHE HAD SHOWN NO SIGNS
OF HIGHER BRAIN FUNCTION

00:29:13,333 --> 00:29:15,067
SHARON WAS TAKEN
OFF LIFE SUPPORT

00:29:15,067 --> 00:29:17,433
DUE TO HER RAPID RECOVERY.
662
00:29:17,433 --> 00:29:19,733
SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE SHE WAS.
663
00:29:19,733 --> 00:29:22,767
SHE DIDN'T KNOW
WHO ANY OF US WERE.
664
00:29:22,767 --> 00:29:27,467
SHE WAS DISORIENTED,
BUT SHE WAS ALIVE.
665
00:29:27,467 --> 00:29:31,167
AND THE MACHINES WERE NOT
KEEPING HER ALIVE AT THAT POINT.

SHARON REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS,
667
00:29:33,067 --> 00:29:34,467
AND HER FAMILY WAS INFORMED
668
00:29:34,467 --> 00:29:36,833
OF THE UNEXPLAINABLE CHANGE
IN HER STATE.
669
00:29:36,833 --> 00:29:39,067
I WALKED INTO THE ROOM,
AND SHE'S SETTING UP,
670
00:29:39,067 --> 00:29:40,067
AND WAYNE'S FEEDING HER.
671
00:29:40,067 --> 00:29:41,467
AND SHE JUST
KIND OF LOOKED UP AT ME,
672
00:29:41,467 --> 00:29:42,733
AND I LOOKED AT HER.
673
00:29:42,733 --> 00:29:46,200
AND THERE AGAIN
I JUST KIND OF BROKE AND CRIED.
674
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,267
I STILL DIDN'T HAVE
THE FULL UNDERSTANDING
675
00:29:48,267 --> 00:29:50,167
OF WHAT I HAD SEEN
AND WHAT I HAD BEEN THROUGH.
676
00:29:50,167 --> 00:29:53,233
AND IT TOOK A LONG TIME
FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.
677
00:29:53,233 --> 00:29:56,300
Keehn: I DON'T KNOW
WHAT KEPT SHARON ALIVE.
678
00:29:56,300 --> 00:29:58,167
IT WASN'T ANYTHING THAT I DID.
679
00:29:58,167 --> 00:29:59,767
AND I DON'T THINK
IT WAS ANYTHING
680
00:29:59,767 --> 00:30:01,267
ANY OF THE OTHER DOCTORS DID.
681
00:30:01,267 --> 00:30:05,100
WE SIMPLY WERE BYSTANDERS
IN THE PROCESS.
682
00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:08,033
THERE'S NO MEDICAL REASON
FOR HER TO BE ALIVE.
683
00:30:08,033 --> 00:30:09,367
THIS IS A MIRACLE.
684
00:30:09,367 --> 00:30:12,333
OUT OF THE 18 YEARS
THAT I'VE BEEN DOING THIS,
685
00:30:12,333 --> 00:30:14,500
SHE IS THE ONE
THAT I CAN POINT TO AND SAY,
686
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:15,567
"THIS WAS A MIRACLE."
687
00:30:15,567 --> 00:30:17,400
I HAVE NO FACTS TO BACK THAT UP.
688
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:23,633
I HAVE NO SCIENTIFIC BASIS
TO SAY THE MIRACLE TOOK PLACE.
689
00:30:23,633 --> 00:30:25,700
BUT I HAVE A SCIENTIFIC BASIS
TO SAY
690
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:28,167
THAT THERE'S NOTHING
THAT WE DID SPECTACULAR
691
00:30:28,167 --> 00:30:29,733
THAT ALLOWED HER
TO COME THROUGH THIS
692
00:30:29,733 --> 00:30:31,400
THE WAY THAT SHE DID.
693
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,933
Sam: SHARON'S RECOVERY
IS A MEDICAL PHENOMENON.
694
00:30:38,933 --> 00:30:41,800
BUT WAS HER RESURRECTION
AND J.D.'S VISION
695
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,100
ALL PART OF A BIGGER PLAN?
696
00:30:44,100 --> 00:30:46,500
SO, SHARON, WHAT LESSON
DID YOU LEARN
697
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:48,100
FROM THIS WHOLE,
ENTIRE EXPERIENCE?
698
00:30:48,100 --> 00:30:49,833
GOD IS FAITHFUL.
699
00:30:49,833 --> 00:30:51,533
HE HAS A PLAN.
700
00:30:51,533 --> 00:30:53,433
HE DOES NOT REQUIRE
THAT I UNDERSTAND IT
701
00:30:53,433 --> 00:30:56,067
NOR THAT I EVEN LIKE IT,
JUST THAT I TRUST HIM.
702
00:30:56,067 --> 00:30:57,533
WHEN YOU HEARD
YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW TALK
703
00:30:57,533 --> 00:31:01,700
ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE IN HEAVEN
AND YOU SEEING THE SIMILARITIES,
704
00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:03,067
WHAT DID IT DO
TO YOUR FAITH?
705
00:31:03,067 --> 00:31:04,833
IT STRENGTHENED MY FAITH
AND MY FAMILY'S FAITH
706
00:31:04,833 --> 00:31:06,267
TO LET US KNOW THAT HEAVEN
707
00:31:06,267 --> 00:31:10,100
IS A PLACE THAT IS AS REAL
AS ANY PLACE ON THIS EARTH.
708
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:12,200
SO BOTH OF YOU DO BELIEVE
709
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,933
THAT SHARON WAS RAISED
FROM THE DEAD?
710
00:31:14,933 --> 00:31:16,867
YES,
BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT.
711
00:31:16,867 --> 00:31:19,933
THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT
WHATSOEVER.
712
00:31:19,933 --> 00:31:22,067
ABSOLUTELY.
I BELIEVE IT.
713
00:31:24,467 --> 00:31:27,967
Marilyn: I KEPT NEGATIVE PEOPLE
FROM BEING AROUND DEAN
714
00:31:27,967 --> 00:31:29,433
WHILE WE WERE AT THE HOSPITAL.
715
00:31:29,433 --> 00:31:33,667
THIS WAS A TIME
OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
716
00:31:39,833 --> 00:31:40,967
YES, GOOD AFTERNOON.
717
00:31:40,967 --> 00:31:43,300
I'M HERE TO SEE
MY HUSBAND, DEAN BRAXTON.
718
00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:45,133
Jesse: MARILYN BRAXTON
HAS JUST BEEN INFORMED
719
00:31:45,133 --> 00:31:49,133
THAT HER HUSBAND HAS DIED
DURING A ROUTINE SURGERY.
720
00:31:49,133 --> 00:31:51,900
WHILE DEAN
WAS EXPERIENCING THE AFTERLIFE,
721
00:31:51,900 --> 00:31:54,867
MARILYN WOULD BEGIN A FIGHT
TO BRING HIM BACK.
722
00:31:54,867 --> 00:31:56,067
I'M RIGHT HERE
IN THE WAITING ROOM.
723
00:31:56,067 --> 00:31:58,300
PLEASE COME NOW.
THANK YOU.
724
00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:00,567
WHAT DID YOU DO
WHEN YOU FOUND OUT
725
00:32:00,567 --> 00:32:03,233
THAT YOUR HUSBAND
WAS CLINICALLY DEAD?
726
00:32:03,233 --> 00:32:04,600
WELL, RIGHT THEN AND THERE,
727
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,233
I BEGAN TO CALL UP MY SON,
MY DAUGHTER,
728
00:32:08,233 --> 00:32:10,067
FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS
729
00:32:10,067 --> 00:32:12,267
AND STARTED
TO JUST ASK EVERYONE,
730
00:32:12,267 --> 00:32:15,567
"PRAY FOR DEAN RIGHT NOW BECAUSE
THEY'RE DOING CPR ON HIM.
731
00:32:15,567 --> 00:32:17,067
SO PRAY."
732
00:32:17,067 --> 00:32:19,700
DEAN IS IN THE ICU
RIGHT NOW,
733
00:32:19,700 --> 00:32:21,233
AND THEY'RE WORKING ON HIM.
734
00:32:21,233 --> 00:32:23,633
I NEED YOU TO COME
TO THE WAITING ROOM
735
00:32:23,633 --> 00:32:25,467
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, PLEASE.
736
00:32:25,467 --> 00:32:27,067
I NEED SOME PRAYER PARTNERS
737
00:32:27,067 --> 00:32:30,400
AND PRAYER WARRIORS
THAT CAN GET A PRAYER THROUGH.
738
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,967
FRIENDS BEGAN TO SHOW UP,
739
00:32:32,967 --> 00:32:36,267
AND WE ALL WERE IN
THE WAITING AREA JUST PRAYING.
740
00:32:36,267 --> 00:32:41,067
I WAS NOT FEARFUL BECAUSE I HAD,
ON THE INSIDE OF ME, FIGHT.
741
00:32:41,067 --> 00:32:46,233
I FELT I HAD, LIKE,
THIS WARRING SPIRIT
ON THE INSIDE OF ME
742
00:32:46,233 --> 00:32:49,700
BECAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL
THAT IT WAS DEAN'S TIME TO GO.
743
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:55,200
I FELT THAT THIS WAS A TIME
OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
744
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,633
IN WARFARE,
YOU HAVE TO RALLY THE TROOPS.
745
00:32:57,633 --> 00:33:01,067
YOU HAVE TO GET PEOPLE PRAYING
AND STANDING IN THE GAP.
746
00:33:01,067 --> 00:33:04,200
AND, GOD, WE ASK THAT YOU
WOULD USE THE DOCTORS RIGHT NOW.
747
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,967
EVERYBODY JUST KIND OF
SEEMED TO HAVE LIKE
748
00:33:05,967 --> 00:33:12,067
A QUIET SPIRIT ON THE INSIDE.
749
00:33:12,067 --> 00:33:17,367
NO ONE WAS FULL OF ANXIETY
OR UNREST AT ALL.
750
00:33:17,367 --> 00:33:22,267
NOT ONE OF US
PRAYED A NEGATIVE PRAYER,
751
00:33:22,267 --> 00:33:24,800
OR HAD ANY NEGATIVE WORDS.
752
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,967
POSITIVE IS BETTER
THAN BEING NEGATIVE.
753
00:33:27,967 --> 00:33:29,733
OH, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
754
00:33:29,733 --> 00:33:34,433
I KEPT NEGATIVE PEOPLE
FROM BEING AROUND DEAN
755
00:33:34,433 --> 00:33:36,300
WHILE WE WERE AT THE HOSPITAL.
756
00:33:36,300 --> 00:33:37,833
I FELT IF THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE,
757
00:33:37,833 --> 00:33:40,200
I DIDN'T WANT THEM
EVEN GOING INTO THE ROOM.
758
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,433
THE DOCTOR CAME IN
TO TELL US THE NEWS
759
00:33:43,433 --> 00:33:47,067
THAT HE WOULDN'T KNOW
ANY MORE UNTIL THE MORNING.
760
00:33:47,067 --> 00:33:49,800
BUT THIS IS WHAT
HIS WORDS WERE --
761
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:55,667
"ALL I CAN SAY TO YOU ALL
IS TO JUST KEEP PRAYING."
762
00:33:55,667 --> 00:33:58,667
THOSE WERE THE DOCTOR'S WORDS.
"JUST KEEP PRAYING."
763
00:33:58,667 --> 00:34:00,667
WOW.
"JUST KEEP UP THE PRAYERS."
764
00:34:00,667 --> 00:34:01,733
-OKAY.
-YOU'LL NEED THEM.
765
00:34:01,733 --> 00:34:03,100
-ALL RIGHT.
-[ LAUGHS ]
766
00:34:03,100 --> 00:34:04,600
-SO ALL THESE
PEOPLE ARE PRAYING.
-SURE.
767
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,467
SO WHAT DID YOU DO NEXT?
768
00:34:06,467 --> 00:34:09,067
WE PRAYED TOGETHER.
WE JOINED HANDS IN UNITY.
769
00:34:09,067 --> 00:34:12,833
AND THEN I SANG A SONG,
JUST A SONG THAT...
770
00:34:12,833 --> 00:34:14,700
BASICALLY,
THE WORDS IN THE SONG
771
00:34:14,700 --> 00:34:18,100
WERE GIVING GOD GLORY
AND THANKSGIVING.
772
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:20,467
NOT FEARFUL AT ALL.
773
00:34:20,467 --> 00:34:23,433
* AMAZING *
774
00:34:23,433 --> 00:34:25,267
IT JUST CAME UP
ON THE INSIDE OF ME.
775
00:34:25,267 --> 00:34:28,967
JUST ROSE UP ON THE INSIDE OF ME
TO SING THIS SONG.
776
00:34:28,967 --> 00:34:32,133
AND THE REASON I JUST
FELT IN MY SPIRIT TO DO THAT
777
00:34:32,133 --> 00:34:36,500
WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK
THAT I HAD IN ME TO BLAME GOD
778
00:34:36,500 --> 00:34:39,300
BECAUSE I KNEW
THAT WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO DEAN
779
00:34:39,300 --> 00:34:42,167
WAS NOT GOD'S FAULT,
780
00:34:42,167 --> 00:34:46,367
BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN HEALING
AND HEALTH.
781
00:34:46,367 --> 00:34:48,767
I BELIEVE THAT SICKNESS
DOESN'T COME FROM GOD.
782
00:34:48,767 --> 00:34:50,433
THERE'S NOT ANY IN HEAVEN.
783
00:34:50,433 --> 00:34:52,567
SO HOW COULD HE GIVE IT TO YOU?
784
00:34:52,567 --> 00:34:54,267
I WAS NOT GIVING UP,
785
00:34:54,267 --> 00:34:56,900
AND I KNEW THAT THIS WAS NOT
A BATTLE FOR ME
786
00:34:56,900 --> 00:35:00,300
TO GO BEATING UP
ON THE DOCTORS AND THE NURSES.
787
00:35:00,300 --> 00:35:05,267
BUT IT WAS A BATTLE
THAT I HAD TO GO TO IN PRAYER
788
00:35:05,267 --> 00:35:09,167
AND TO TELL -- AND TO SPEAK LIFE
INTO DEAN'S BODY.
789
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:14,567
THE DOCTOR CAME IN
A LITTLE BIT LATER
790
00:35:14,567 --> 00:35:16,400
TO TELL US THE NEWS...
791
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,167
WE'VE GOT YOUR HUSBAND BACK.
792
00:35:18,167 --> 00:35:20,067
-THANK GOD.
-HIS HEART'S BEATING AGAIN.
793
00:35:20,067 --> 00:35:22,067
HIS VITAL SIGNS
ARE LOOKING GOOD.
794
00:35:22,067 --> 00:35:24,567
AND IT WAS JUST GREAT NEWS.
795
00:35:29,267 --> 00:35:32,600
WERE YOU EVER ABLE TO DETERMINE
AT WHAT POINT
796
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,800
THAT DEAN'S HEARTBEAT
ACTUALLY CAME BACK?
797
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,067
WAS IT DURING THE SONG?
WAS IT DURING SOME PRAYERS?
798
00:35:37,067 --> 00:35:38,900
WERE YOU EVER ABLE
TO DETERMINE THAT?
799
00:35:38,900 --> 00:35:41,367
YOU KNOW, I JUST FELT,
AFTER I SANG THAT SONG,
800
00:35:41,367 --> 00:35:43,100
I JUST FELT A RELEASE.
801
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:44,300
WOW.
802
00:35:44,300 --> 00:35:48,100
AND I JUST FELT
JUST A PEACE COME OVER ME.
803
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:49,333
WOW, OKAY.
804
00:35:49,333 --> 00:35:51,533
I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY GETTING
THE HEART RATE BACK,
805
00:35:51,533 --> 00:35:54,133
YOU PROBABLY FELT LIKE YOU'D
TURNED A CORNER AT THAT POINT.
806
00:35:54,133 --> 00:35:56,400
WELL, I WAS SUPER EXCITED.
YOU KNOW?
807
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,067
BUT, YOU KNOW, HE WAS STILL,
YOU KNOW,
808
00:35:58,067 --> 00:35:59,733
HAVING TO BE ON THE OXYGEN.
809
00:35:59,733 --> 00:36:01,067
WE'RE NOT
OUT OF THE WOODS YET.
810
00:36:01,067 --> 00:36:02,067
OKAY.
811
00:36:02,067 --> 00:36:03,733
Marilyn:
DESPITE HIS RESUSCITATION,
812
00:36:03,733 --> 00:36:07,467
THE DOCTOR SAID THINGS
WERE KIND OF TOUCH AND GO.
813
00:36:07,467 --> 00:36:11,200
IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT DEAN
COULD HAVE BRAIN DAMAGE,
814
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,400
THAT HE MIGHT NOT MAKE IT,
PERIOD,
815
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,700
OR THAT HE COULD BE A VEGETABLE
IF HE DID MAKE IT.
816
00:36:16,700 --> 00:36:20,433
AND HE WAS NOW ON LIFE SUPPORT.
817
00:36:20,433 --> 00:36:23,067
WITH ALL THAT THE DOCTORS
HAD SAID,
818
00:36:23,067 --> 00:36:24,600
I DECIDED TO GO BACK HOME
819
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:29,067
AND TO PRAY FOR DEAN
LONG, HARD, AND LOUD.
820
00:36:29,067 --> 00:36:32,200
YOU HAVE TO SURRENDER
TO THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD.
821
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,833
I WANTED TO SEE THE END RESULTS.
822
00:36:34,833 --> 00:36:39,700
AND I WASN'T GONNA GIVE UP
UNTIL I SAW THE END RESULTS.
823
00:36:39,700 --> 00:36:42,300
THANK YOU, GOD.
THANK YOU.
824
00:36:45,167 --> 00:36:47,300
I BELIEVE, ABOUT THE THIRD DAY,
825
00:36:47,300 --> 00:36:50,233
HE STARTED TO HAVE A TURNAROUND
IN HIS HEALTH.
826
00:36:50,233 --> 00:36:58,300
AND HIS NEW KIDNEY SPECIALIST
TOLD ME THAT HE HAD IMPROVED
827
00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:02,833
200 TO 300 PERCENT
IN SUCH A SHORT TIME.
828
00:37:02,833 --> 00:37:06,567
BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN HIS KIDNEYS
BEGAN TO FUNCTION.
829
00:37:06,567 --> 00:37:08,533
I MEAN, HE WAS DEAD,
AND NOW HE'S NOT.
830
00:37:08,533 --> 00:37:10,067
TO HEAR HIS VOICE,
HOW DID THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?
831
00:37:10,067 --> 00:37:11,900
IT WAS REAL EXCITING
TO HEAR HIS VOICE.
832
00:37:11,900 --> 00:37:15,400
YOU KNOW, AND I TOLD HIM
WHAT HAD HAPPENED.
833
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,133
AND AS THE STORY UNFOLDED
834
00:37:17,133 --> 00:37:20,067
AND I TOLD HIM ABOUT
ALL THE LOVE AND THE SUPPORT
835
00:37:20,067 --> 00:37:21,567
AND THE PRAYERS THAT HE HAD,
836
00:37:21,567 --> 00:37:23,767
TEARS JUST STREAMED
DOWN HIS FACE.
837
00:37:23,767 --> 00:37:26,500
HE WAS SO, SO GRATEFUL
AND SO EXCITED.
838
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:30,433
DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR SONG
AND YOUR PRAYERS
839
00:37:30,433 --> 00:37:34,867
PLAYED A KEY ROLE
IN DEAN COMING BACK TO LIFE?
840
00:37:34,867 --> 00:37:38,467
YOU KNOW, I FEEL THAT MY SONG
AND MY PRAYERS,
841
00:37:38,467 --> 00:37:41,300
AND ESPECIALLY
THE PRAYERS OF OTHERS,
842
00:37:41,300 --> 00:37:42,800
BROUGHT DEAN BACK TO LIFE.
843
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,167
WHAT MIGHT YOU SAY
FOR SOMEBODY WHO COMES
844
00:37:45,167 --> 00:37:47,067
FROM A DIFFERENT
BELIEF SYSTEM?
845
00:37:47,067 --> 00:37:49,133
IS THERE ANYTHING
THAT YOU FEEL LIKE
846
00:37:49,133 --> 00:37:51,367
EVERYBODY COULD BENEFIT FROM
NO MATTER WHAT THEY BELIEVE
847
00:37:51,367 --> 00:37:52,500
FROM YOUR STORY?
848
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:54,767
DON'T GIVE UP.
849
00:37:54,767 --> 00:37:56,633
JUST DON'T EVER GIVE UP.
850
00:37:56,633 --> 00:37:58,733
AND KEEP JUST LOVING THEM.
851
00:37:58,733 --> 00:38:00,800
STAY POSITIVE.
852
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,767
STAY AFFIRMATIVE.
YEAH.
853
00:38:02,767 --> 00:38:04,300
AND BE STEADY.
854
00:38:06,433 --> 00:38:10,767
WE'RE STARTING TO GET EVIDENCE
THAT PRAYER IS SPIRITUAL ENERGY.
855
00:38:10,767 --> 00:38:12,633
AND WE'VE GOT ACCOUNTS
OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY SEEING
856
00:38:12,633 --> 00:38:15,333
THIS SPIRITUAL ENERGY
IN THIS AFTERLIFE EXPERIENCE.
857
00:38:17,433 --> 00:38:19,567
Jesse:
FOR MORE "PROJECT AFTERLIFE,"
GO TO...
858
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:33,567
Jesse:
IN THE AFTERLIFE, DEAN BRAXTON
SAW ACTUAL PRAYERS PASS BY HIM.
859
00:38:33,567 --> 00:38:35,333
WERE THESE THE PRAYERS
OF HIS WIFE?
860
00:38:35,333 --> 00:38:38,967
DID DEAN'S VISION AND HIS WIFE'S
PRAYERS BRING HIM BACK?
861
00:38:38,967 --> 00:38:42,600
DEAN AND HIS WIFE, MARILYN, HAVE
BEEN MARRIED FOR OVER 25 YEARS.
862
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,633
AND I'M CURIOUS WHAT IMPACT
THIS BRUSH WITH DEATH
863
00:38:45,633 --> 00:38:47,433
HAS HAD ON THEIR MARRIAGE.
864
00:38:47,433 --> 00:38:49,833
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
HAS CHANGED
865
00:38:49,833 --> 00:38:51,333
FROM BEFORE THEN
TO AFTER THEN?
866
00:38:51,333 --> 00:38:53,700
IF YOU COULD POINT TO SOMETHING
IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP,
867
00:38:53,700 --> 00:38:55,067
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
HAS CHANGED?
868
00:38:55,067 --> 00:38:56,400
I THINK WHAT REALLY GREW
869
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,633
WAS JUST MY WHOLE
OUTLOOK ON FAMILY.
870
00:38:58,633 --> 00:39:00,933
AND THAT THE RELATIONSHIPS
I CAN HAVE
871
00:39:00,933 --> 00:39:03,867
WITH MARILYN AND MY CHILDREN
AND ALL MY EXTENDED FAMILY
872
00:39:03,867 --> 00:39:05,333
ARE ETERNAL RELATIONSHIPS.
873
00:39:05,333 --> 00:39:07,233
AND THEY DON'T END
JUST ON THIS PLANET,
874
00:39:07,233 --> 00:39:08,600
BUT THEY'RE ETERNAL,
875
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,967
AND THAT WE NEED TO TREAT
EACH OTHER AS ETERNAL BEINGS
876
00:39:10,967 --> 00:39:12,200
AND NOT TEMPORAL BEINGS.
877
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,833
MARILYN, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
HAS CHANGED --
878
00:39:14,833 --> 00:39:16,900
THE BIGGEST THING
THAT HAS CHANGED INSIDE OF DEAN?
879
00:39:16,900 --> 00:39:19,767
I THINK THAT HE'S CHANGED
880
00:39:19,767 --> 00:39:24,500
IN THE SENSE
THAT HE'S SO POSITIVE.
881
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:27,867
HE SEES JUST GOOD
IN EVERYBODY.
882
00:39:27,867 --> 00:39:29,433
AND I JUST LOVE THAT
ABOUT HIM.
883
00:39:29,433 --> 00:39:31,233
THE BOTH OF YOU,
WOULD YOU SAY
884
00:39:31,233 --> 00:39:34,167
THAT NO MATTER
WHAT SOMEBODY BELIEVES,
885
00:39:34,167 --> 00:39:35,533
NO MATTER
WHAT BACKGROUND THEY HAVE,
886
00:39:35,533 --> 00:39:39,333
NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE,
THAT POSITIVITY IS EFFECTIVE?
887
00:39:39,333 --> 00:39:41,267
WHEN YOU START TALKING
A LOT OF NEGATIVE,
888
00:39:41,267 --> 00:39:43,567
YOU KIND OF, LIKE,
START LIVING THAT NEGATIVE.
889
00:39:43,567 --> 00:39:47,267
AND WE TALK VERY POSITIVE
TO EACH OTHER,
890
00:39:47,267 --> 00:39:49,067
TO OTHER PEOPLE
WE COME IN CONTACT WITH.
891
00:39:49,067 --> 00:39:51,633
WE WANT OUR WORDS
TO BE OF LIFE, NOT DEATH.
892
00:39:51,633 --> 00:39:53,600
**
893
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,667
Jesse: DEAN AND MARILYN
DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY
894
00:39:55,667 --> 00:40:00,633
OF DEAN SEEING HER PRAYERS
SHOOT PAST HIM IN THE AFTERLIFE.
895
00:40:00,633 --> 00:40:02,067
DID DEAN ACTUALLY WITNESS
896
00:40:02,067 --> 00:40:04,900
HIS WIFE'S EFFORTS
TO BRING HIM BACK?
897
00:40:04,900 --> 00:40:09,200
WERE THOSE EFFORTS THE REASON
IT WASN'T HIS TIME YET?
898
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,833
SO, JESSE, WHAT DID YOU
LEARN FROM DEAN BRAXTON?
899
00:40:11,833 --> 00:40:13,833
YEAH, SO I THINK THERE'S
TWO THINGS RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
900
00:40:13,833 --> 00:40:17,067
ALL RIGHT, HIS WIFE, MARILYN,
SHE STARTED A PRAYER CHAIN.
901
00:40:17,067 --> 00:40:18,933
BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE DOCTORS
902
00:40:18,933 --> 00:40:21,067
WHO SHOWED PERSEVERANCE
AND DIDN'T GIVE UP.
903
00:40:21,067 --> 00:40:22,833
THEY WORKED ON DEAN
FOR OVER 90 MINUTES.
904
00:40:22,833 --> 00:40:24,200
THEY DID CPR FOR 90 MINUTES.
905
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,633
SO WE HAVE THIS CONTINUED THREAD
OF PERSEVERANCE,
906
00:40:27,633 --> 00:40:30,033
PEOPLE TAKING GREAT COURAGE
AND NOT WANTING TO GIVE UP.
907
00:40:30,033 --> 00:40:31,633
AND THEN THE PRAYER CHAIN.
908
00:40:31,633 --> 00:40:32,833
IN ADDITION
TO THOSE TWO KEYS,
909
00:40:32,833 --> 00:40:35,367
WE ALSO HAVE THE EMERGENCE
OF A NEW KEY.
910
00:40:35,367 --> 00:40:37,667
AND THAT IS
THE POWER OF POSITIVITY.
911
00:40:37,667 --> 00:40:40,233
WE SAW MARILYN,
THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY
912
00:40:40,233 --> 00:40:42,333
TO SPEAK NEGATIVE THINGS
OVER DEAN.
913
00:40:42,333 --> 00:40:45,100
SHE WANTED POSITIVE THINGS.
SHE WANTED TO SPEAK LIFE.
914
00:40:45,100 --> 00:40:46,967
SHE WANTED TO SPEAK
THE GOOD THINGS.
915
00:40:46,967 --> 00:40:49,567
IN THESE TIMES WHEN YOU'RE FACED
WITH THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE,
916
00:40:49,567 --> 00:40:52,067
IT CAN BE REALLY HARD
TO STAY POSITIVE.
917
00:40:52,067 --> 00:40:53,500
BUT WE STILL HAVE
THAT CHOICE.
918
00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:55,167
AND WE CAN FLIP
THAT SWITCH.
919
00:40:55,167 --> 00:40:58,633
WE CAN CHOOSE
TO REMAIN POSITIVE.
920
00:40:58,633 --> 00:41:02,400
JESSE, WHAT WAS IT
THAT WAS SO SIGNIFICANT
921
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,567
ABOUT DEAN SEEING
THESE PRAYERS SHOOTING PAST HIM?
922
00:41:05,567 --> 00:41:07,300
I'VE NEVER HEARD
ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE.
923
00:41:07,300 --> 00:41:09,133
IT GOES BACK TO THE POWER
OF PRAYER, I THINK.
924
00:41:09,133 --> 00:41:12,167
AND I THINK IT EVEN RELATES
AND TIES BACK
925
00:41:12,167 --> 00:41:14,700
TO THE PRAYER CHAIN SCENARIO
926
00:41:14,700 --> 00:41:16,100
BECAUSE YOU HAVE
ALL THESE PEOPLE PRAYING,
927
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,500
BUT SO OFTEN WE DON'T GET
A PICTURE
928
00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:19,733
OF WHAT THE POWER OF PRAYER
LOOKS LIKE.
929
00:41:19,733 --> 00:41:21,267
WELL, DEAN DID.
930
00:41:21,267 --> 00:41:23,933
DEAN SAW THOSE PRAYERS
SHOOTING PAST HIM.
931
00:41:23,933 --> 00:41:26,733
AND THERE WASN'T JUST ONE.
THERE WERE MULTIPLE PRAYERS.
932
00:41:26,733 --> 00:41:28,867
HE'S ACTUALLY SEEING
SPIRITUAL ENERGY.
933
00:41:28,867 --> 00:41:33,267
WE'RE STARTING TO GET EVIDENCE
THAT PRAYER IS SPIRITUAL ENERGY.
934
00:41:33,267 --> 00:41:34,733
AND WE'VE GOT
ACCOUNTS OF PEOPLE
935
00:41:34,733 --> 00:41:37,600
ACTUALLY SEEING THIS SPIRITUAL
ENERGY IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM.
936
00:41:39,900 --> 00:41:42,433
ALL RIGHT, SAM,
SO TELL ME ABOUT SHARON ABBOTT.
937
00:41:42,433 --> 00:41:43,833
YOU KNOW,
WHAT I FOUND AMAZING,
938
00:41:43,833 --> 00:41:46,067
THAT AFTER SHARON HAD DIED
AFTER CHILDBIRTH,
939
00:41:46,067 --> 00:41:47,700
YOU KNOW, SHE DIED,
GO OVER INTO HEAVEN,
940
00:41:47,700 --> 00:41:49,900
AND HAD
THIS OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE
941
00:41:49,900 --> 00:41:51,467
OF HOW PEACEFUL HEAVEN WAS.
942
00:41:51,467 --> 00:41:53,367
BUT I REALLY BELIEVE
HER BROTHER-IN-LAW
943
00:41:53,367 --> 00:41:55,533
PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE
IN IT.
944
00:41:55,533 --> 00:41:57,867
HE WENT IN THERE
AND PRAYED FOR HER.
945
00:41:57,867 --> 00:42:00,700
AND HE HAD,
ACTUALLY, A TRANCE,
946
00:42:00,700 --> 00:42:02,067
AN OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE
947
00:42:02,067 --> 00:42:05,833
TO WHERE HE ACTUALLY SAW
SHARON IN HEAVEN.
948
00:42:05,833 --> 00:42:10,667
J.D. DID SEE HER
IN THIS GARDEN-LIKE SETTING
949
00:42:10,667 --> 00:42:12,300
THAT ALSO KIND OF LINES UP
950
00:42:12,300 --> 00:42:14,967
WITH WHAT SHARON SAW
IN THAT SAME SETTING.
951
00:42:14,967 --> 00:42:18,867
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BIG
TAKEAWAY FOR YOU IN THIS CASE?
952
00:42:18,867 --> 00:42:21,300
HER BROTHER-IN-LAW'S
PERSISTENT FAITH
953
00:42:21,300 --> 00:42:23,267
AND SHARON'S WANTING
TO COME BACK
954
00:42:23,267 --> 00:42:25,367
WAS BOTH,
AS A COMBINATION, USED
955
00:42:25,367 --> 00:42:27,333
TO RESURRECT HER
BACK FROM THE DEAD.
956
00:42:27,333 --> 00:42:29,500
WE HAVE, YET AGAIN
957
00:42:29,500 --> 00:42:31,567
THE OCCURRENCE
OF MANY PEOPLE PRAYING.
958
00:42:31,567 --> 00:42:33,567
YOU KNOW, THERE WERE MULTIPLE
PEOPLE PRAYING FOR HER.
959
00:42:33,567 --> 00:42:35,067
YOU KNOW,
AND MAYBE THAT CLEARED THE WAY
960
00:42:35,067 --> 00:42:36,233
FOR HER TO BE ABLE
TO MAKE THE CHOICE.
961
00:42:36,233 --> 00:42:38,467
BECAUSE IT CERTAINLY SEEMS
LIKE SHE HAD THE CHOICE
962
00:42:38,467 --> 00:42:41,500
OF WHETHER TO COME BACK
OR WHETHER TO STAY UP THERE.
963
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:43,867
JUST LIKE THE CASES
THAT HAVE COME BEFORE,
964
00:42:43,867 --> 00:42:46,067
YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS LIKE
THE ABILITY TO CHOOSE
965
00:42:46,067 --> 00:42:49,100
IS SOMETHING THAT IS REMAINING
AND BEING A COMMON THREAD
966
00:42:49,100 --> 00:42:50,400
THROUGH EACH ONE
OF THESE CASES.
967
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,133
YEAH, AS YOU LOOK
AT ALL OF THESE CASES
968
00:42:52,133 --> 00:42:53,600
THAT WE'VE BEEN
INVESTIGATING,
969
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,100
THERE'S NOT ONE
THAT DIDN'T HAVE
970
00:42:56,100 --> 00:42:57,533
THE INGREDIENT OF PRAYER.
971
00:42:57,533 --> 00:42:59,233
MM-HMM.
SO WE DO KNOW PRAYER...
972
00:42:59,233 --> 00:43:01,067
YEAH.
...IS AN ACTIVE PART
973
00:43:01,067 --> 00:43:04,100
THAT HAS TO BE INITIATED
IN ORDER FOR THE OUTCOME
974
00:43:04,100 --> 00:43:07,533
THAT WE'RE SEEING PEOPLE
COMING BACK FROM THE AFTERLIFE.
975
00:43:07,533 --> 00:43:09,600
SHARON AND DEAN
BOTH WERE WITH JESUS.
976
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,300
THEY BOTH SAW HIM
AS GLOWING,
977
00:43:11,300 --> 00:43:13,367
YOU KNOW, A PEACEFULNESS
IN HIS PRESENCE.
978
00:43:13,367 --> 00:43:17,300
BOTH OF THEM EXPERIENCED HEAVEN
AS A NATURAL EARTH STATE.
979
00:43:17,300 --> 00:43:18,733
IT WAS SIMILAR.
980
00:43:18,733 --> 00:43:20,300
IN THIS CASE,
981
00:43:20,300 --> 00:43:24,500
THEY DID EXPERIENCE
SOMETHING THAT WAS EARTHLIKE.
982
00:43:24,500 --> 00:43:26,067
TWO FASCINATING CASES.
983
00:43:26,067 --> 00:43:29,600
WE HAVE THE EMERGENCE OF KEYS
THAT BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LIFE.
984
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,567
WE HAVE SUPERNATURAL
RESURRECTION.
985
00:43:31,567 --> 00:43:33,633
I CAN'T WAIT
TO DIG INTO MORE.
