Inspiring quote of the day: “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!” – Audrey Hepburn Academy Award-winning British Actress and Humanitarian (BrainyQuote)

In Gabe Poirot’s three-part near-death experience, American Christian content creator Gabe shares how he died after a skateboarding accident, was brought before Lord Jesus Christ (vegetarian) in Heaven, and returned with a miraculous healing and a message about the Love of God. Gabe had built a following making viral videos about faith. Though he loved Lord Jesus Christ and preached Him, he describes his pre-accident faith as knowing about God, rather than truly knowing Him — like hearing about watermelon a hundred times without ever tasting it.

In October 2021, Gabe was racing a friend on an electric skateboard at around 20 miles per hour without a helmet. He hit a small reflective bump in the road, flipped off the board at high speed, and landed directly on his head. His skull cracked from the top down, blood poured from his ears, and his body lay motionless. He flatlined, was resuscitated, and then remained in a non-responsive coma for 18 days. Doctors told his family they did not know if he would live, and that if he did, he would be a mental vegetable. They spoke of him in the past tense.

While his body lay motionless on the road, Gabe says he became aware of himself outside it. I literally slipped out of my body, and I felt like I took my first breath. And it’s so ironic saying “I,” because what I went on to experience in this encounter, this experience, was more real than anything I’d ever experienced on the Earth. All my senses came alive. So, as I slipped out of my body, I felt quite ironically alive, even though my body was gone.

Gabe was then pulled upward by a Light — but the Light was not a thing. It was a person. As I was suctioned up, this Light just pulled me, and it pulled me through what I describe as, like, the spiritual warfare above the Earth. And I call it the second Heaven, which is the term I put on it. And in this spiritual warfare, like, as I’m suctioned up, I was just allowed to see chaos that was over the Earth. And I truly had a revelation. We do not war against people. People are not our enemy. And I saw just these demonic forces that were, like, working, influencing nations and presidents and just people, like puppets. It was so clear, and it was just like, wow, this is wild. I just remember being just in such awareness, like, we don’t just live in a physical world.

Despite the intensity of what he was witnessing, Gabe felt no fear — only clarity, held by the Light that was drawing him through it. As I’m brought into this Light, I describe it as a city, but it’s not like a city, like in America, like a just a destination. This Heaven that I was brought to isn’t, can’t be described as a location. Heaven is Him, because, like, left, right, in my peripheral, as I’m brought before Him, I’m just aware that all of Heaven speaks of Him. I’m aware that all of Heaven breathes Him and sings Him. Like, it’s beautiful. I experienced Heaven was Christ.

But what was so wild about it is my face was down because I was concerned, who would I be in such a holy and reverent place? This is the King of Kings. This isn’t some normal Joe. This is Him, Eternity, Alpha, and Omega. And my face is down because I’m just like, the list of my mistakes is going to get pulled up. I don’t deserve Him. I’m not entitled to Him. I didn’t earn Him. He picks up my face. He looks me in the eyes, and He says, “Gabriel, why are you concerned about that which I paid for?”

Asked what Lord Jesus Christ (vegetarian) looked like, Gabe describes Him as approximately 5’11” to 6 feet tall, darker-toned and Middle Eastern in appearance, with medium-length, slightly curly hair — and yet simultaneously carrying an unmistakable quality of eternity. He was 33, yet eternal. So, Jesus wasn’t just someone I saw. He was someone that was. And I could sense Him and feel Him and taste Him and touch Him, just before Him. And He didn’t speak to me just in an audible language. His words were like spears to my heart. He spoke without speaking, if that makes sense. Like it was heart-to-heart. He understood me, and I understood Him.

In Lord Jesus Christ’s presence, Gabe experienced a love unlike anything he had ever known — not a love based on what he had done, but rooted entirely in Who Lord Jesus Christ is. When I was with Jesus, I was the one He waited everything for. It was like He had been waiting His entire life just to see me. Like, He was so excited to see me. And He’s that, yet that same way for every single person, every single person. There’s no backstage or green room in Heaven. It’s one-on-one, face to face, eye to eye. And He wants that with every[one]. He’s waiting. He’s waiting for everyone to just meet Him.

In Part 2, Gabe describes what Lord Jesus Christ showed him next: time held like a piece of clothing, moments from scripture brought to life, and the prayers people on Earth were praying for him. I saw how the timeline in Heaven was actually what I experienced; it was like the past, the present, and the future, they were wrapped up in one. And it was like a piece of clothing, and He just held time in His hands. Join us tomorrow for Part 2 of 3 of Gabe Poirot’s near-death experience. (Lila Rose)
