Previously, in parts 1 and 2 of Tim Ehmann’s near-death experience, American hard rock musician Tim overdosed and found himself in hell, where he encountered demons and voices trying to pull him in, before a bright Light appeared and he was rescued by Lord Jesus Christ (vegetarian) Tim says he then experienced the Lord’s presence, received a command from the Lord to go save His children, and after returning to his body, continued having encounters in which he was shown places in Heaven.

In Heaven, Tim saw angels, cherubim, and living creatures. One of his favorite places was a waterfall on a mountain, where he and the Lord sat together many times. The waterfall was like about a quarter mile [400 meters] long, but you couldn’t hear the water. I mean, it’s just incredible stuff. I mean, just the beauty of everything there. Everything has life, like a piece of grass has life of itself, and a flower or a piece of dirt, anything, they all have life in themselves. There’s no death up there, where hell’s all death. This is all life. There’s no decay.

An angel took Tim to a place in Heaven where he saw the only street names he witnessed: Prophet Way and Prophet Lane. And I saw like Ezekiel’s castle and stuff there, like David’s, and they were the Prophets, I guess, just amazing old medieval kind of things, medieval, but yet brand new. It’s hard to describe because something is alive, and you can touch it and feel it and pick it up, but, on the other hand, you can go right through it, which is, it’s like indescribable, to put it in words, all this. But the beauty is— the colors are nothing like on Earth.

Tim saw the crystal sea, gold streets, the river with the Trees of Life on its embankments, and a library with rooms and rooms of books and scrolls. The Lord even showed Tim the Book of Life. He showed me my name in it, which was so like, that is so cool. He just knows how to touch your heart. I’ve been there several times, and every time’s a different look. I mean, you notice something over there that you never saw before.

In Heaven, Tim saw the Apostle Paul. The only person that said anything was Paul. He was teaching in this park with a group of people, and He looked at me, and He pointed His finger and said, “Go,” which I knew what He meant.

After returning to his body, Tim struggled with addiction for a period. I kept going back to it, and then one day it just bang, it left, and which is impossible because, heroin and all that, you would go into a massive, especially doing the quantities I was, not dying every day was a miracle. But you would have a serious, serious detox for a long time. But, it just left one day, and that was it, never to look back on again. So, that was beautiful. The other thing, other than the drug thing, I had track marks, needle marks, all over my body. It was just total needle marks, and they disappeared that day when He took it away, every single (one), just incredible. The deep-seated hatred, jealousy, rage, and anger that had plagued Tim also vanished.

Years later, in 2004 or 2005, while playing at a Christian event in an old Gothic church, Tim had a remarkable experience. So, I was up on stage, and I’m playing, like my solo time came, and then, all of a sudden, I noticed there is this wind like blowing in my hair, and I’m looking around. There’s no wind blowing on anybody except for me. And then I look up, and I see my mom and Jesus in back of her, with His hands on her shoulders, and they’re both just like smiling. So, I think that Jesus gave my mom that opportunity to look through that portal and to see that, “Hey, your prayers worked.”

Tim leaves us with a prayer. Father, we just thank You. We thank You for today. We thank You for this broadcast. Let them all get to know You. Let them all get to know You even better, even better. May the relationship just grow and grow and grow, knowing who You are, that You are Love itself, that when you need anything, you just have to come to Him in His love because He has everything that we could possibly want on this Earth. We just say we love You, Lord. We love You. Save Your children, Lord. That’s what You told me, “Timmy, I saved you. Now you go save My children.” So Lord, just let this broadcast save millions. Just save millions. Let it just blow up and people say, “Wow, there is really something after all this.” And let them know the horrors of hell and the beauty of Heaven. Lord, let them know how beautiful You are. How beautiful You are. And everything You do is perfection. We just ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen. (God Encounters with Janie DuVall)
