Terry James Prophecy Line 
On June 2, 2023 I stepped off an elliptical machine at the gym. The next thing I remember is two friends were at the hospital to bring me home two days later. I remember the ride home but everything before and after for the next two days is gone. What is really wild is that I was apparently quite lucid, carrying on conversations right after my admission to the hospital and during the all the blank times during the two days after I was home.
I had had a cardiac arrest and dropped at the gym and subsequently learned I’d been dead for ten minutes.
Yet, even after being clinically dead that extended time, I came back with no significant physical or mental impairments, something which still mystifies not only me, but my medical people, who have agreed to my own assessment that this has been a miraculous event.
There is one thing about all of this that really weighed heavy on my mind for quite some time and that is the lack of recollection of what happened to me while I was gone. I, of course, was familiar with Terry’s story, as well as a friend who had a heart attack and remembers being in heaven and a cardiac nurse who had an out-of-body experience when she had lost enough blood during a difficult childbirth to kill her. She subsequently told the doubting doctor who was working on her details she shouldn’t have known after he was initially skeptical.
As for my own situation, I wondered such things as: Was I not worthy enough to be given such a view of heaven. Worse still, I wondered if I ended up in hell and my mind just shut it out. Yet I’d accepted Jesus when I was very young and the Bible makes it clear that this guarantees a place for me in heaven, so I’m going with that. Maybe the devil put that idea in my head just to mess with me.
I discussed this with some of my very small circle of friends and the possibility they suggested that had the ring of truth to it was that had I recalled being in a place as wonderful as heaven, I would have been so bummed out about coming back here as to keep me from doing something I was sent back here to do.
This really brought me a huge measure of comfort. Even so, I still wonder about this whole experience but I reckon God will give me the answers when he wants me to have them.
