American pastor Reverend Brandon Biggs shares an urgent vision he received from Lord Jesus Christ (vegetarian) on January 24, concerning US President Trump: […] The Lord Jesus came and He told me, He said, “Your president is about to be taken out by an assassin.” “[…] He has opened a door through council of ungodly people advising him on what to do concerning the nations.” […] And the Lord showed me decisions that were being made were not what He wanted. And because of these decisions, it was opening a door for a demonic attack. […]

And I saw a man a long way away with a 50-caliber weapon that had a scope on it that big. He had a black stalking hat. He had black shirt, black pants, black combat boots. And he was laying on his belly focusing in. When I saw this incident happen, I saw the projectile go through His body, and almost make him like — it was awful. […] And I tell you, this is this is very serious to me. And I’m telling you all, this is very hard to even talk about this. But I feel by the spirit of God, we must pray. And I believe we can stop this.

[…]When this happened, I saw the Secret Service [presidential protection agency] looking everywhere. They couldn’t see how far it came or how it happened. And they were in a panic on the ground, and I watched the whole thing happen. I saw immediately World War III pan across my face and a major war broke out in Europe of likes we’ve never seen before. It was a retaliation immediately for what just happened to our leader. […] (Last Days, ShekinahWorshipTV)

Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan): As has been alerted before Your Blessed re-election; President TRUMP is reminded to wear and equip Himself with top protective gear wherever possible as needed. We are at war, so it is reasonably prudent to shield Yourself, as safely as possible, not let shyness overcome security. Not just for self, but for the USA’s people and for the world’s. Your Excellency still has to work for world peace and security, so Your physical tool is of very high value.

There are 3 areas which would provoke the negative portal opening, herewith listed for Your Prime Consideration: “1/ Secretive secret agents coerce people to falsely accuse innocent people, to stay in jail and fail to repair peace with them, some are in the worst, strictest high security prison, where no one will ever hear their cry... 2/ Sacrifice family for zero power gain (meaning should be more loving and appreciative to family) 3/ People are preparing to revolt against the President.” (Reported by the King Of Good Governance)

Humans might err, advice might be faulty. Could use more intuition. Please pray anytime, anywhere in Your heart, with the people who support You, for the sake of peace and best possible service to world citizens. Best wishes, Mr. President!

And it is like the brightest lights I’ve ever seen in my whole life. American entrepreneur Holly Porter shares how she nearly died from COVID— before being sent back with specific instructions for her life’s mission. In fall 2021, Holly contracted COVID at a conference. After suffering at home for a week, her oxygen dropped to 63%, and she was rushed to the ICU [intensive care unit]. Her husband, also infected, couldn’t stay with her. Holly spent the next few days refusing intubation, knowing most ventilator patients didn’t survive. After a 20-minute FaceTime [video call app] with her husband and sister, she made the impossible choice.

In the end, I just said, I have to take my chances. I can’t breathe. So, I was put on a ventilator. About six days after being placed on a ventilator, while deeply sedated in an induced coma and fighting sepsis and infections, Holly had her near-death experience.

This time, I was actually in my bed lying there, going down the hallway of the hospital. I had just signed a whole bunch of paperwork that I had remembered for them to put me on the ventilator. And I was going past the nurses’ station, and I remember sitting up as much as I could, shaking my finger out at them saying, “I rescind my DNR [do-not-resuscitate order]. I rescind my DNR.” And as I continued on down this long hallway, which seemed like forever, I saw all these other beds joining me and also going down the hallway, which I believe were other people in there dying. So we get to the end, and we end up in what I call the stadium of light. It was like a big, huge football stadium, bigger than any I had ever seen before. And we all got rolled into the sky boxes because we were in beds. And that was the moment that it paused. There was just this like pause in the whole thing. And the next thing I know, I am out in the stadium of light. And it is like the brightest lights I’ve ever seen in my whole life.

In her condition, Holly had lost most of her senses in the hospital—her vision, hearing, taste, and smell were nearly gone. But in the stadium, everything changed. So, as I’m in the stadium of light, the senses were off the charts that I had. I mean, the vision, the hearing, now everything was so clear. And as I looked around in the stadium, there were thousands of people in there, and they were stacked high. Everybody was in really, really either white or bright, bright clothing that just shined. And then again, the light was so bright, but I could see so clearly. You could get any answer to anything you even thought of. You’d have an answer before you even finished the thought. I mean, it was like just light speed.

Then Holly heard music beginning from all four directions. And I joked later that it was the best concert I had ever been to. And it was. It was so angelic. And the music, the sound, the voices. I had never heard the songs before, but I knew the words to every song. So, of course, I joined in. We had this great, lovely music happening. And then the next thing I know, I’m out of the stadium, and I’m having what I presume to be my life review. And I’m not seeing any bad. I know I did lots of bad, but I couldn’t see any bad.

During her life review, Holly says she was given two specific instructions. So I watched all these things happening, and then I was told two things at that point. I was told that I needed to come back and start a nonprofit called Adventure Bucket Wish. That was all the instructions I really got. So then I wasn’t given that choice to stay or go. I was sent right back into my body into all the suffering.

Two years later, still suffering from long COVID and devastating family trauma, Holly sought answers through hypnosis exploring her near-death experience (NDE) It was like having another NDE. So he [the hypnotist] takes me to the in between, is what I will call it. And the dark is on the right side and the left [light] is on the left side. And there’s like that matter that’s swirling. The matter would swirl, it would come together, and it would form a heart. And I remember thinking, “Wow, everything’s attracted to the light. Everybody wants to go to the light as I’m in the in between.” So the hypnotist says, “Is anybody there?” And I realized there was an entity there. I wasn’t afraid. He wasn’t evil, but he was dark.

In that moment, the entity identified itself, as Darby.

He [the hypnotist] talks to Darby, and he wants to know why he’s there, what’s going on. And Darby says he doesn’t have any connection to me. He just wants my light. He can’t go to the light, and he can’t have it for himself. So, he wants mine. And my eyes are closed and I could feel heat coming with light bright, bright, bright on my face, and Darby says the light’s coming to get her, and I’m not going to be able to stop it. And he’s like, “Then let her go. Let her have her light.” So eventually he did, and I walked forward. As Holly moved toward the light, she saw symbols confirming what she understood as God’s instructions— a tree matching the logo she’d designed for Retreat RNR, and pink hearts like those she’d placed in gift bags at her nonprofit’s first fundraiser, all without consciously remembering these details from her NDE.

I started seeing the life review again, which was all good. And this time I asked, “Where’s the bad? I’ve done plenty of naughty things. Where’s the bad?” And God said, “I’m showing you this because this is what matters.” And I just thought, “Wow, what a God of love that—you’re right. The good is what matters, what we do.” And then I was given these words that I did not remember. And it’s a lesson because the words were “love them where they’re at.” And I thought if I would have remembered those words the first time in the hospital, those two years probably wouldn’t have happened. I had to feel that pain, and I had to go through that, so I know what and how to handle things in the future. And so now I have that message, and now I can share that message with other people because “love them where they’re at” just does take the judgment away. We can’t change who people are, but we need to just love them anyway.

And then one more thing He told me was that more will be revealed to you when the time is right. And usually that would make me crazy because I like to know everything right now. And I was at such peace with that. I remember praying for those two years, praying for peace. I don’t think I had ever in my whole life really felt and experienced true peace like I feel now. There are still lots of things happening. My health’s still up and down. There are normal life stresses. I have lots of grandkids and kids, and (there are) always things happening. But it’s OK. It’s like I know I’m going to get through that. I know I lived for a reason and I know I have things to do, and it’s just a totally different experience now. (The Other Side NDE)
