THE FIRST TIME YOU OPEN

YOUR PARACHUTE IT IS PRETTY

AMAZING.

IT IS SO PEACEFUL.

YOU ARE HANGING A HALF MILE

ABOVE THE EARTH.

SO IT WASN'T ABOUT THE

ADRENALIN.

IT WAS ABOUT THE PLEASURE.

IT WAS THE PLEASURE OF BEING

IN FREE FALL AND FEELING

LIKE YOU COULD FLY.

Reporter: MICKEY

ROBERTSON WAS A PROFESSIONAL

SKYDIVER.

HE LOVED FALLING FROM THE

HEAVENS AND DRIFTING SAFELY

TO EARTH.

ONE DAY AFTER TAKEOFF FROM A

PRACTICE JUMP, THE PLANE'S

ENGINE STALLED, HURTLING

MICKEY AND HIS COMPANION TO

THE GROUND.

THE ENGINE JUST QUIT.

THERE WAS NO HOPE.

WE HAD SECONDS.

Reporter: THE PLANE HIT

THE GROUND AND QUART

CARTWHEELED TO A STOP.

THE FUSELAGE WAS STICKING

OUT.

AND MY LEG WAS TRAPPED.

AND I WAS SOAKED WITH

GASOLINE FIRE.

Reporter: HIS FRIEND

FOUGHT THROUGH THE FLAMES

AND PULLED MICKEY OUT.

IN SEVERE PAIN AND LOSING

CONSCIOUSNESS, MICKEY ASKED

GOD FOR HELP.

I RELIED ON MY OWN

NATURAL ABILITY AND

STRENGTH, FOR THE FIRST TIME

I CALLED OUT TO A GOD I

DIDN'T KNOW AND NEVER

SERVED.

I SAID, GOD, PLEASE HELP

ME.

GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE.

Reporter: AT THE

HOSPITAL, IT WAS QUICKLY

EVIDENT TO THE DOCTORS THAT

HIS CHANCES OF SURVIVAL WERE

NOT GOOD.

THEY DIDN'T THINK I WOULD

MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT.

I WAS IN SHOCK.

I HAD HEAD TRAUMA, I HAD

SOME INTERNAL INJURIES THEY

DIDN'T REALLY KNOW ABOUT.

MY ORGANS WERE DIRECTLY

SHUTTING DOWN.

I HAD SEPSIS, WHICH IS AN

INTERNAL INFECTION.

MY BODY WAS FIGHTING A

BATTLE THAT NO WAY COULD

LIVE.

I COULD FEEL LIFE LEAKING

OUT OF ME.

AT THAT POINT, I HAD AN

EXPERIENCE THAT I HAD NO

GRID FOR THIS AT ALL.

MY INNER BEING WENT

PERPENDICULAR TO MY BODY.

I WAS IMMEDIATELY

TRANSPORTED AND I LOOKED AT

MYSELF, AND THERE WAS

NOTHING WRONG WITH ME.

THIS WAS A REAL PLACE.

AND I WAS ALSO TRAVELLING.

I HAD NO CONTROL OF WHAT WAS

GOING ON.

I WAS, LIKE, ON AN UPWARD

GLIDE PATH.

I SAW A WHITE PORTAL IN THE

DISTANCE, AND I FELT A PEACE

EMANATING FROM IT.

I WAS HEADED TOWARDS THERE.

AND THEN I FELT A PRESSURE

ON MY RIGHT SIDEMEN SIDE.

AND I LOOKED, AND I LOOKED

INTO SOMETHING I COULD ONLY

DESCRIBE AN ABYSS THAT WAS

BLACKER THAN BLACK.

THIS THING, THE MORE I

LOOKED AT IT, THE MORE IT

CLOSED.

I WAS ALMOST BY THIS WHITE

PORTAL, AND IT WAS E

ECLIPSING IT.

AND I CRIED OUT THE SAME

THING: NO, GOD, I'M SORRY.

I WANT TO LIVE.

I WANT TO BE ALIVE.

AS THOSE WORDS GUSHED OUT

DESPERATELY OUT OF MY

SPIRIT, I WAS THRUST THROUGH

THIS WHITE PORTAL, AND

INSTANTLY I WAS STANDING IN

THE PRESENCE OF ALMIGHTY

GOD, AND I KNEW I WOULD

NEVER DIE.

IT TRANSCENDED EVERYTHING I

COULD IMAGINE OR KNEW ABOUT

THE GREATEST THINGS ON

EARTH.

THE LOVE OF GOD IS SO PURE.

IT IS SO PERFECT, AND IT IS

SO INCREDIBLE.

I DIDN'T SEE ANY CREATURES

OR ANGELS OR THE PEARLIE

GATES.

I DIDN'T SEE ANY OF THAT.

BUT THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE

RADIANCE OF GOD, AND THE

UNDILUTED LOVE OF GOD WAS

BEING POURED INTO ME.

THERE WAS NOTHING NEGATIVE

ALLOWED TO BE IN THE

PRESENCE OF GOD, SO I WAS

PURE.

IT WAS SO INCREDIBLE.

THE ECSTASY AND THE JOY.

WE DON'T HAVE WORDS.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO

INVENT NEW WORDS.

Reporter: DESPITE

WANTING TO STAY IN HEAVEN,

MICKEY SAYS HE WAS SENT BACK

TO HIS BODY.

MY SPIRIT CAME BACK, AND

THE PRESENCE OF GOD CAME

BACK.

AND MY PRESENCE SANK INTO MY

BODY.

AROUND THE BODY THERE WAS

ABOUT A HALF DOZEN DOCTORS

AND NURSES, AND I HAD THIS

ABILITY TO KNOW WHAT THEY

WERE EXPERIENCING.

THEY JUST SAW ME DIE AND

COME BACK TO LIFE.

THEY WERE SCARED OF WHAT

THEY SAW.

I HAD A SILLY GRIN AND I WAS

FILL OF JOY.

I WAS SO HAPPY TO BE ALIVE.

I HAD THIS LOVE, AND I

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO CALL

IT.

I LOVED EVERYBODY AND

EVERYTHING.

Reporter: MICKEY SAYS

FROM THAT DAY ON, HE BEGAN

TO SEE GOD WORKING MIRACLES

IN HIS LIFE.

DOCTORS SAID HE WOULD NOT BE

ABLE TO WALK AGAIN DUE TO

THE AND NERVE DAMAGE IN

HIS LEGS, BUT THE NERVES

REGENERATED.

AND AFTER FIVE YEARS OF

BLINDNESS IN HIS RIGHT EYE,

HE IS ABLE TO SEE AGAIN.

EVERYTHING THAT WAS LOST

HE IS RESTORING.

YOU REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR

LIFE WHEN IT IS RESTORED.

ANY MAN OF RESTORATION, YOU

REALLY NEED TO THANK GOD FOR

IT.

I NEED TO BE GRATEFUL EVERY

DAY.

Reporter: HE WROTE A

BOOK DETAILING HIS

EXPERIENCES, CALLED "FALLING

INTO HEAVEN."

HE SAYS OF ALL OF THE

MIRACLES HE HAS SEEN IN HIS

LIFE, IT IS GOD'S LOVE THAT

HAS MEAN THE MOST TO HIM.

I'M BLOWN AWAY THAT GOD

LOVES ME.

I'M BLOWN AWAY THAT GOD TOOK

A MESS AND MADE A

MASTERPIECE.

Reporter: MICKEY HAS

TRAVELLED THE WORLD

PROCLAIMING THE LOVE OF GOD

AND THE HEALING POWER OF

JESUS HE HAS EXPERIENCED

DURING HIS SECOND CHANCE OF

LIFE ON EARTH.

THERE IS ONLY ONE PATH TO

GOD.

JESUS SAID, "I AM THE WAY,

THE TRUTH, AND THE LIGHT.

NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER

BUT THROUGH ME."

THE BLIND SEE, THE DEAD ARE

RAISED.

HE BINDS UP THE

BROKENHEARTED.

IF WE DID A FORENSIC STUDY

AND CHECKED ALL OF THE

FINGERPRINTS, IT WOULD ONLY

ADD UP TO JESUS CHRIST.

HE IS THE SAME YESTERDAY,

TODAY, AND FOREVER.

NOBODY ELSE COULD DO THIS

BUT JESUS CHRIST.
