Video: Autism Near Death Experience - David Gillert

Interesting what do you think?

Hi, my name is David and I was born with Asperger syndrome which is a form of Autism. When I was young I wondered what my life would look like or how God can use me. In the year 2009 my life changed forever. I got very sick and I was taken to the hospital. It was there I learned that I had a rare condition called Steven Stevens–Johnson Syndrome
Stevens-Johnsons’s 10 syndrome is a life threatening skin condition that claims most of its victims with death. Your skin literally falls off of your body and David’s skin was coming off from his head to his toes. David was airlifted here from the Beaumont hospital here in Troy to the University of Michigan hospital in An Arbor Michigan to the burn trauma unit and there he would receive advanced care as he fought for his life.
He was on a ventilator and he and he was wrapped up with linen very much like looking like a mummy. It was to keep the infection out. The doctors indicated to us that David might not survive. It was then that I knew that he was in God’s hands and that was very comforting to me. I had to rely upon the sovereignty of God I talked to my wife in the waiting area and there we talked about Psalm 139 and in there there’s a verse, verse 16 that say’s, “God has ordained all of our days before there was yet even one” and I remember telling her that if this is the day that God had ordained for David to die then I’m good with it but if this is not the day then David will not die and we have nothing to worry about.
All we could do was pray. In the hospital it was difficult to communicate with David because he was in and out of consciousness. We had to go into a clean room environment. There we had to wear gloves, masks, and outer garments so we did not bring any infection into his room.
Although we couldn’t talk to David all the time in the background God was. David told us of events and dreams that he had while he was unconscious and one of those he could hear a multitude of people praying for him. He could hear those people even though he couldn’t hear the specific prayers he could hear that people were praying for him. David also tells a story of angels that spoke to him and encouraged him and told him to fight and I asked him how did he know that they were angels and he said, “You just know.”
And I saw a beautiful garden of light and a tree full of light and as I stood in the garden I no longer had autism. I saw myself as a child of God and a beautiful being.
He saw a pair of hands, large hands coming down from heaven and in the hands was a lamb and the lamb was placed upon his lap and he had asked what the lamb was for and a voice whom he assumed was God’s told him that the lamb was for his healing. David had multiple organ failure and because of that he had so many different things that could go wrong that could take his life so we were praying for those things that were of greatest value first. One of the first things that we prayed for was his liver. He was in total liver failure and they told us that he would not be a candidate for a liver replacement and if his liver did not recover he would die.
Very quickly we found that the liver started to recover and one day I was walking by the nurses station they did not see me and the women just came out of the room and they had just rebandaged him and the one girl came out and she said, “Can you believe it that he’s got his skin?” and I remember just smiling thinking God has answered our prayer once again and I told her I said, “Yes I believe it because we got just thousands of people praying for David right now”> So, as we needed the miracles God was there and he provided them.
