minutes. At the age of 68, Charlotte Holmes had a brush with death during a standard heart examination. She was at her cardiologist's when her blood pressure shot up to an alarming 234 over


134.


The medical team warned her that hospitalisation was necessary until they could manage her dangerously high blood pressure.


‌ During a chat with The 700 Club, Charlotte shared the details of her near-death experience. She remembered being told: "It's got to come down. You're having another stroke or you're going


to have a heart attack."


‌ Her husband Danny remained by her side as the healthcare professionals initiated an IV drip in an attempt to lower her blood pressure, reports the Express US.

the moment the emergency unfolded, saying they "called a code and just started working on her. "Well I'm wondering if I'm even going to be able to bring her home." Charlotte then described


how she felt detached from her body, observing the resuscitation efforts from above.

knew where I was. I knew I was in heaven."


As Charlotte relayed her visions to Danny, he became convinced of the supernatural nature of her experience. He said: "She started talking about the flowers. I looked around and I knew there


was no flowers in that room. That's when I knew she was not in this world when that was going on."


Charlotte miraculously came back to life after 11 minutes, during which time she claims to have had a glimpse of the afterlife. She recounted: "I was above my body. I could see Danny


standing in the corner. He had backed up. I could see them, all the nurses around then I opened my eyes. I looked around at the beauty. I could see the trees, I could see the grass and


everything was swaying with the music because everything in heaven worships God."


‌ She expressed awe at the indescribable beauty of heaven, saying: "I can't convey to you what heaven looked like because it's so above what we can even imagine, a million times. There's no


fear. It's like pure joy when the angels takes over there's no fear when you're going home. It's pure joy."


Her otherworldly journey included emotional reunions with loved ones who had passed away, as she recognised her parents and sister among others. She says she also "saw saints of old". She


said: "They didn't look old, they didn't look sick.


"None of them wore glasses they looked like they were in their 30s but yet it says in the scriptures we will be known as we were known. I knew them, there in their new bodies. They looked


wonderful."


‌Her husband didn't think she'd come back(Image: The 700 Club/YouTube) In the midst of these encounters, Charlotte experienced an overwhelming presence. "Standing behind Mom and Dad was a


light so bright I couldn't look upon it. It was so bright but I knew it was my Heavenly Father," she said.


"I couldn't understand and I can remember thinking who is this and I heard my Heavenly Father said to me, 'it's your child'. I lost that child I was five and a half months pregnant."


‌ Recounting her profound experience, Charlotte recalled: "I can remember them holding the baby up and saying 'Charlotte, it's a boy,' then he was gone." She says she sought answers about


her child from a higher authority and shared the response: "He says they continue to grow in heaven but there's no time it's eternity. So 48 years and here my child, our child, is a


toddler."


Continuing with her detailed narrative of the spiritual journey, she stated, "God took me to hell. I looked down and the smell and then rotten flesh - that's what it smelled like - and


screams. After seeing the beauty of heaven the contrast to seeing hell is almost unbearable."


Charlotte conveyed her stern warning, noting how he had shown her these visions as a caution to some, saying: "This is where they shall reside." Elaborating on her other-worldly encounter,


Charlotte said: "I heard my father say 'you have time to go back and share.'" She described her return to life, mentioning, "I felt the pain where I hadn't felt pain. I felt the sorrow."

Speaking on a Christian programme, she highlighted the necessity of hope: "People need hope. They want to know that there really is something out there. They want to know that everything's


OK."


She professed: "I have been privileged to bring people to Christ as he asked me to do. All the authority that he had he has given to us in the name of Jesus Christ, not because of who we


are. Heaven is more than you can imagine. I can look you square in the eye and tell you for sure, heaven is real."
