Heaven, an Unexpected Journey: One Man's Experience with Heaven, Angels, and the Afterlife

by Jim Woodford

Take a minute and consider that at this moment the One who created you desires to have you come out of the shadows and live in the light of His presence. He is calling you “out of darkness into His marvelous light.”5 Out of the shadows of doubt and disbelief, out of the shadows of shame, out of the shadows of death itself. He is establishing His throne room even now in you. Let’s take a few minutes and come out of the shadows. Quiet your heart the best you can. Sit for a moment and take note of the breath going in and out of your body being refreshed moment by moment. Now, become aware of the sounds around you. Sounds of nature—even sounds of the normal activity of life. All of nature can clearly testify of the presence and nature of God. The apostle Paul said, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made.”6 Now, listen carefully.
