my name is Charlotte Richard and what I'm about to share with you changed my life forever I never thought I'd be one of those people sharing a near-death experience but God had other plans what he showed me about the times we're living in and what's coming well I need to warn as many people as possible it was a chilly October night in 2023 I had just spent a wonderful evening with my grandchildren watching them perform in their school play my heart was so full of of Joy seeing my seven-year-old grandson Tommy as a talking tree
and my 9-year-old granddaughter Sarah as the lead fairy they were precious and I couldn't stop smiling as I drove home the clock on my dashboard read 9:47 p.m. the roads were quiet and a gentle rain had started to fall I remember thinking how peaceful everything felt I was about 15 minutes from home when it happened Looking Back Now I realized God had been preparing me for this moment though I didn't know it then I'd been having strange dreams in the weeks leading up to that night dreams of angels Gathering of trumpets waiting to be sounded
but nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to experience the last thing I remember before everything changed was reaching to turn up the heat in my car there was a sharp pain in my chest unlike anything I'd ever felt before later the doctors would tell me I had suffered a massive heart attack my car veered off the road and into a ditch but what happened next that's why I'm sharing this testimony the moment my heart stopped I felt myself leaving my body it wasn't scary or painful it was like slipping out of
a heavy coat the first thing I noticed was the complete absence of physical discomfort all my usual aches and pains the arthritis in my knees everything was gone I felt young again but that was just the beginning I found myself in what I can only describe as a space between spaces it wasn't Heaven yet but it wasn't Earth either everything was bathed in the most beautiful light I've ever seen it wasn't like sunlight or artificial light it was living light if that makes any sense the colors around me were more vibrant than anything we have
on Earth colors I can't even name that's when I heard my name being called Charlotte the voice was unlike anything I'd ever heard full of authority yet overflowing with love I turned and saw an angel standing before me he was nothing like the cute cherubs you see in paintings he was magnificent and Powerful with eyes that seemed to contain galaxies fear not he said and immediately all my anxiety melted away the Lord has sent me to show you what must soon take place suddenly we were moving through what seemed like a corridor of light the
angel spoke again what you are about to see is for the church for those who have ears to hear many are sleeping but the time is short the scenes that unfolded before me were both beautiful and terrifying I saw the Earth from above but it was different there was a Darkness trying to cover it like a heavy blanket but there were also Points of Light scattered across the globe God's people praying worshiping standing firm in their faith the angel showed me something that broke my heart churches filled with people but many were just going through
the motions their worship was empty their prayers routine they honor me with their lips I heard the Lord say but their hearts are far from me but then I saw something amazing a Great Awakening beginning to stir it wasn't like the revivals we've read about in history books this was different I saw people in their homes in their workplaces in schools suddenly being struck with an overwhelming awareness of God's reality and their need for him it wasn't emotional manipulation or clever preaching it was pure Sovereign work of the Holy Spirit the the angel then showed
me what looked like a giant clock but instead of numbers it had events I saw Wars natural disasters and technological advances that seemed impossible but what struck me most was seeing how these events were perfectly timed in God's plan watch carefully the angel said and I saw something that made my spirit leap the bride of Christ being prepared I saw people from every nation tribe and tongue being purified through trials but emerging stronger more radiant their faces Shone with a supernatural light then came the most intense part of my vision I saw the world entering
a time of great deception what shocked me was how subtle it was at first small compromises tiny alterations to God's truth until many who claimed to be Christians couldn't recognize truth from lies anymore but in the midst of this Darkness I saw something beautiful True Believers growing stronger more unified more dependent on God's word and spirit they weren't swayed by the growing deception they had something different about them a seal a mark of protection that I knew was the Holy Spirit the angel then showed me something that made me weep I saw countless Souls who
thought they were saved but had never truly surrendered to Jesus they had religion but no relationship they knew about God but didn't know him personally tell them the angel said tell them it's not enough to know the right words or attend the right Church they must be born again truly transformed by the power of Christ I saw waves of persecution coming but it wasn't like anything I expected it started with subtle discrimination against Believers then grew into something more overt but here's what amazed me the true church grew stronger Under Pressure not weaker then I
was shown something about technology that startled me I saw how advances that seemed beneficial were being used to control and deceive but God's people were given wisdom to navigate these challenges without compromising their faith the angel then revealed something crucial about prayer I saw how the prayers of God's people were actually affecting world events each prayer was like a point of light and when God's People Prayed in unity these lights combined into powerful forces that pushed back Darkness I was shown how close we are to Jesus's return but I was specifically told not to share
