Richard's testimony is one of my absolute favorites. It is the most touching, most sincere, slightly humorous out-of-body/near death experience I have ever encountered. I am so moved by Richard's story that I cannot watch it without crying myself. Thank you, Richard, for sharing your story. God has already blessed you.
Richard, I met you years ago when I was a young man and just starting out in racing. I met you at the Shell station, years later I moved on to Colorado and passed along to you some wonderful engineering and vehicle dynamics books. I often thought of you over the years. I'm in my 50s now and have returned to the Santa Barbara area. When I was in my late 30s, my first wife was in a horrific motorcycle accident and that experience changed both of our lives forever. She reported to me a similar experience and if she was not my wife, I would have had some difficultly believing what she shared with me. Richard, I assure you, you are far from crazy! I would consider you a blessed soul and thank you for sharing your experience with us. God Bless, Curtis
I want to experience what he experienced! :) I've had dreams that I know it came from God. I talked once with Jesus in my dream when my Grandma died! I was looking for my Grandma in her house and then I asked Jesus, inside my grandmas room. "Jesus where is my grandma?" he replied, "She's now in Heaven".. I woke up telling my whole family! And another incident was when an angel caught me falling down from the stairs when I was a child. God is real.
Richard I met God and Jesus in heaven in year 8 .It was when I was about to commit succide and God and Jesus stopped me and I met me in heaven.He said me that he will always love me and he will change my heart into a happy heart.people he's real.God had a white beard and white hair and white crown and crown on his head.jesus has dark brown beard with brown hair and crown and I saw my family that had died.So this isn't a lair.They both hugged and kissed me and told they had a plan me and loved me.they touched my heart and healed it.People were bullying me and I was about to kill myself.great job Richard show your love for the lord.
wow. totally believe Richard. I saw the white light myself with someone holding their hands out and went through my body and a few weeks later found I was pregnant after being told I could not have babies. God Bless you x x x
Oh, my friends, how I love this testimony dearly. I keep coming back to hear it because it warms my heart so much. Jesus, the Prince of peace, has an unending love for all the world, but he truly desires for us repent(turn from our way of life) and to live sincerely and wholeheartedly for him. He is worth every minute of it.
Yvette Givens Yes. I chose to believe as much as you believe. As I wrote, we are believers. Not knowers. May piece with you. But I think your in for a big disappointment if you think that everyone that's done bad things in life or "evil" acts will end up in a separate place when they go. Fill your heart with love, not revenge. That's my best advice to you.
I ave seen this video over 50 times and i love to see it over and over. Mr Richard every time i see you it makes me feel good, is your story and it's you. GOD Bless You and Thank you so much for sharing with us your experienc. You are Loved, Big Hugs
I was taken to heaven and met GOD back in July of 1983 but my experience was not a "near death" experience. I was totally conscience and wide awake. Sow I know that these experiences are definitely REAL. Thumbs up on this video. THANKS! David Lee...
I've always believed in God and Jesus but at sometimes I say to my self " what if there not real"? This video made me realize that God and Jesus are truly Real and at the very end of the video I felt Happy! I've never felt this kind of happiness it was like hug. I laughed and to be honest I'm always upset over everything. I think I felt happy because I realize that God is real and also Jesus. Thank You Richard for your experience! :)
I cried like a baby.. I was scared just a moment ago.. But you brought me back to Jesus.. NEVER STOP PROCLAIMING THIS!! I NEEDED THIS! Thank you so much! Lord BLESS YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU !!!! God is SO FUNNY! I cant wait to talk to HIM! Lucky guy!
My mom had the same type of experience many years ago. When she came out of surgery she told us of her meeting with Jesus. She was walking with Jesus towards a beautiful light. Then they stopped and went no further. She asked Jesus why did we stop. He told her you can't go in. She asked why not. He told her you pray without faith. My mom was a feisty old lady. She said she got mad and took her rosary and handed them over to Jesus. She told Him here You show me how to pray then. He smiled and said this is the first time anyone has ever given me anything. She heard voices and He told her she had to go. She didn't want to but she had to. He didn't send her back with any kind of message other that she had to suffer a little more. She did suffer more with being bed ridden but she never wavered. Nothing that was thrown at her bothered her. She kept praying using her rosary. After a while she stopped talking about her experience. It was like she wanted to keep it a secret. She finally passed away. Yeah, my mom was really something. She got mad at Jesus. Ha!
Richard, I must tell you how much you remind me of my dad. He was VERY intelligent and wanted answers for everything. He asked me over and over again, "Why are we here"? At the age of 92, he had a heart attack. He was in the hospital for two weeks. The day before he died he frantically told me that he had been taken somewhere and had seen the ugliest woman. He was so frightened and visibly shaken. I told him, " Dad the Lord was showing you where you don't want to go". The next morning I was by his bedside when he passed over. I had such a peace in my spirit, and was confident that the Lord had, indeed, shown him Hell and he had been given the chance to repent. So thankful to our loving, merciful Lord Jesus. Thank you for sharing and I bet you still have plenty more questions ready - - right? Glory!
You will need to pray a short prayer. "Father, in the name of Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner and I now turn from my sin. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the Cross was buried and arose in three days. He is now seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. I believe that he died for all my sins and I am forgiven. I am saved! Then, I would recommend reading The New Testament (King James Version). Once you are saved, the Holy Spirit will reside in you and will enable you to understand scripture. Try to find a church that is preaching the True Gospel of Jesus Christ. Praying for you!
What a nice guy!!! I look forward to meeting you one day Richard. In heaven. Thank you for sharing your testimony. You are a blessing to my life. I met Jesus 20 years ago, but something's fine wrong since that time when I was first saved... as I've suffered a lot of emotional pain of depression and have no fellowship or friends here in Scotland. Please know you're testimony has helped me.... Thank God for HE IS LOVE..!
What a nice bloke .Listening to stuff like this does more for my faith than any Church or religion It's simply about love and that we are part of something bigger.Jesus Rocks.
Excellent heartfelt testimony of the after life. Very well done Richard. I've seen hundreds of these experiences on RU-vid and yours is one of my favorite. God telling you , you had your math wrong was the highlight for me. It's good to know that God has a sense of humor and loves each and everyone of His children.
I love the internet that stories like this can get any one in the world with just a click. U have touched me as well as many others i have watched and i thank u for ur story. Pray for me.
im crying too... you're so blessed and i feel blessed too after watching this . Thank you, i was here because i want to believe in Him im still young maybe He'll forgive me for doubting Him ...
Some people desperately want this to be fake & will try to convince themselves with all sorts of reasons why it could be because of the same old reason - no one wants to be held accountable at the end of their time on this plane.
Oh My!!!! I too have had not one but Three Life and Death experiences. It has taken me 41 years to begin to share my stories. Because as you could see with Richard it is extremely Emotional, Spiritual, Holy, Pure, Lovely. No words can really express the Joy that await those who Love the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank you for filming Richards precious story, because it is difficult to find people who are willing to film those of us, who have gone through this. Oh how precious this was. Lisa Tesch
Thank you for sharing! Absolutely beautiful. Never apologize for getting emotional as you did.. How could you not when remembering what the presence of God was like. Blessings to you and your family.
You never need apologise when Love shows the depth and beauty of your heart and spirit, Richard. You are showing us what God sees in each of us. It's the real power of your testimony. The meaning of life is love. Indeed. God bless you. (Ireland)
Hi Richard, thank you so much for sharing this experience with everyone. I want to share that I had been an atheist for most of my life but then I understood that something spiritual was missing, however I tried different religions and I did not find any that would suit me. I had a couple of out of body experiences which really frightened me and I started researching them to find out about NDEs and they changed my life, I feel like life is all about love and compassion for others and I try to make this one of the pillars of my behaviour. Of course, as a human being I make mistakes and sometimes my ego takes over and I don't behave like this but I try to have those qualities always present. Have a good day!
Thanks for sharing, the timing of my viewing of this video is divine :) Tears overwhelmed me especially when he started crying... happy tears, not sad ones :)
Richard if you see this comment, know this...... I know! I have been there and I love you for sharing your experience. It was genuine and sincere in every aspect. Thank You for your humble testimony. I know this much......we all have some kind of idea of what love is or should be.....But, I can tell you, we know so little about love. I am the love of my parents, I know I am loved and love my children and grand children. This kind of love along with spousal love is so incredible that we think we can say if we have these things we know love. While all these things express Gods love, we have to to question the totality of that love. How big, real, dynamic, inspiring and changing is the love of God? We get glimpses now and then of this incredible love, but it is not the same as being in the Light of His love in heaven. There, you remember no more anything about strife or trouble. You realize where you are is where you belong, you are HOME! You are vibrating at such a higher level that only one thing matters and that one thing is seeing God. Seeing Jesus, and reuniting.
This guy is very believable, thank you Richard, its beyond me how a person could hear a testimony like that and not at least become moved, atheist that watch this and I dont know what there response would be, but it is sad that everyone does not know God like I do and like Richard in the testimony. Thank you Richard, and God bless you.
It's great, thank you to share your experience! My mother had a near death exeprience a few years ago as well. She fell off a chair and hit the floor with her head. She was uconscious for maybe 5 seconds, but she told me that suddenly she was 'driving' (she described it as driving; she was sitting in a vehicle, but she couldn't see what kind of vehicle it was). Next to her she could sense someone else was sitting, but she could't turn her head to the left to see the person. Maybe it was her guardian angel. so they were moving forward through a beautiful street with high trees and at her right hand side people were walking, they were all smiling and some waved to her. She saw my dead father, her friends from high school who passed away and also our Labrador dog. At her right hand side she saw detached houses in beautiful gardens. then she said to the person next to her " further down the road my parents are waiting for me". And the person answered " not yet". But she never saw who the person next to her was. After that she was back and woke up in our living room on the sofa because I lifted her up from the floor and walked her to the sofa. She told me that she saw a man standing in our living room, he was leaning above her face and he was looking at her with a concerend look in his eyes. He had longish brown hair till his shoulders, big eyes (not sure what colour) and he was wearing a white robe. he was standing next to the sofa (I didn't see anyone in the living room and I was sitting on a chair next to the sofa as well. I was very worried about my mom because all I have is my mother). She said that after a few minutes he turned his head to the side and said to someone " she is back". Then he disappeared like in a fog. My mom didn't realise it was someone from heaven (maybe Jesus or her guardian angel?) standing next to our sofa because she was still a bit dizzy from the fall. Anyway, we often talk about it because I think it's reat my mom was in heaven. I love these nde stories!
There is NOTHING for you to apologize for when tears come as you speak about God. This often happens to me also. I never had a N.D.E. but His awesome presence in my life is what brings me to tears at times. God being so good, holy, and loving and me still here with a sin nature albeit I am forgiven through faith in what Jesus Christ accomplished at the Cross. I sometimes need to be reminded that I'm a new creation in Christ Jesus. There is nothing easy in my life except for knowing that from here I'll just be going Home one day to see my risen lord and Majestic, glorious Father! Thank you for sharing your experience with our gracious God! God bless,
When I was joung I had a luzid dream or vision or something. Exactly the same happend to me. God was on my right shoulder. He said also not to turn around. then he asked me some questions I don´t remember but my answer I remember very well. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Richard I want to thank you for putting your story out for all of us to hear .This is Very Inspirational, I feel a renewed hope and sense of ease in my life after listening to your story.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! :-D Jesus wraps His arms around you like a big blanket! Unconditional love no matter what the condition! God Bless you Richard and thank you for sharing your remarkable story! ~~,~'
I pray that my beloved son is being hugged by the Lord every day. He talked a lot about unconditional love, and he would often tell me of how he loved us and others. It hurts so much to be without him, but if truly there is a heaven, and he is with the Lord, how can I be in so much pain? Thank you Richard for sharing.
I've watched your video quite a few times, Richard, and I love your story so much! It touches me deeply, thank you for sharing your experience with the world.
Thank you God for blessing Richard with this and how it all affirms my experience, for which I thank you again ! My NDE wasless eventful but very very meaningful . Like you Richard I no longer fear death.and I know the answer is Love. I receive you in my heart............God bless
Thank you Richard for your sweet spirit and for sharing your sacred and wonderful experience! All the NDE teach us the same: we are in this life for one purpose: learn how to love.
While listening to your testimony, I felt the intense love of Jesus! Wow…how I love and adore our Lord Jesus Christ! God is so awesome and so beautiful! Thank you so much Richard for sharing your beautiful testimony! To God be the Glory! God's blessings always!
Richard, thank you for sharing! I know those arms: they went around me one night 13 years ago, when my husband abandoned me with no warning. And ever after that, when I feel overwhelmed, and I need comfort, all I have to do is get quiet inside, and turn toward Him, and ask. He never fails to come and hold me. His Name is Wonderful.
Beautiful! O what I would give to hug God ! I have always wanted to believe that is the main lesson we had to learn. God Bless You Richard for sharing!
Absolutely beautiful. My twin had a out of body once and got to say goodbye to her pet Peke Dog Bandit. God let her leave her body and and pet him goodbye after he passed unexpected during a Mylogram at a Specialist Vet office.
