Boy Dies, Comes Back, Says Jesus Gave Him a Message for the World

When a young boy died in a car crash, he says he went to heaven. After being resuscitated, he came back with a message he says Jesus gave him to share with the world ā€” and he wants everyone to hear it before itā€™s too late.

Landon Whitley was in the backseat, riding home from church with his mom and dad, on October 19, 1997, whenĀ tragedy struck ā€œI didnā€™t see what he was yelling at. I didnā€™t see the ambulance coming, but I remember him yelling.

That was the last thing I heard from him,ā€ Julie Kemp, Landonā€™s mom recalled, according toĀ  Fox New. The ā€œheā€ she is referring to was her husband Andy, and the ambulance she speaks of broadsided their car in an intersection.

Landon was just 8 years old when the ambulance, returning to its station, T-boned his familyā€™s car at an intersection. His dad died instantly.Ā Rescuers stabilized Julie but didnā€™t realize Landon was also in the car. ā€œThey couldnā€™t see his body because of the damage that was done to the driverā€™s side of the car and Landon was sitting behind his dad,ā€ Julie explained.

When they saw Landonā€™s shoe, however, they began to search for a childā€™s body, CBNĀ reported.

They eventually found Landon, but he wasnā€™t breathing. Resuscitation efforts began immediately, then he was life-flighted from the scene. He died two more times that day. Each time, he was brought back to life, but he wasnā€™t out of the woods.

ā€œThey told me that if he lived, which did not look good, but that if he lived, that he would be like an 8-year-old baby,ā€ Julie recalledĀ . ā€œHe would not know how to walk or talk or to eat because of all the brain damage. I was so desperate that that was okay.

I would take that just to have him. He was all that I had.ā€

As her son fought for his life, Julie had to lay her husband to rest. At his funeral, she admits that she felt abandoned by God.

ā€œI was very disappointed, heartbroken. And when Iā€™m sitting at the funeral Iā€™m fussing at God. I donā€™t understand why this happened,ā€ she said. ā€œI donā€™t understand why He didnā€™t send angels to protect us. But in the very next breath, Iā€™m praying as hard to Him as Iā€™ve ever prayed in my life for Landon to live.ā€

Although Landon suffered massive head trauma during the accident and was left in a coma, hooked up to all kinds of machines to keep him alive, after two weeks, the boy opened his eyesĀ ā€” an answer to Julieā€™s prayers.

To everyoneā€™s shock, he didnā€™t have any brain damage. In the midst of celebrations that her boy was finally awake, however, Julie realized she had to tell him that he had lost his dad.

ā€œHe had scars on his face. And his head was just full of hurt. And I didnā€™t want to hurt him anymore,ā€ Julie remembered. ā€œSo I asked Landon, I said, ā€˜Landon, do you know where your dad is at?ā€™ And, he told me, ā€˜Yes, I know where heā€™s at. I saw him in heaven.ā€™ā€

Thatā€™s not all Landon saw in heaven, either. He saw family friends who had passed before and siblings he never knew he had.Ā ā€œHe looked over to me and he says, ā€˜Oh mom, by the way, I forgot to tell you. I saw your other two kids.ā€™ And I just looked at him because I wasnā€™t sure what he was talking about. But I had two miscarriages before Landon was born.

And he saw them in heaven,ā€ Julie said. ā€œWe had never shared that with Landon. He did not know that we had lost two children before him.ā€

Decades after the accident, Landon Whitley is still sharing the message he says Jesus gave him in Heaven.

ā€œI knew that they were my siblings even though no one had ever told me about them,ā€ Landon explained. ā€œJust being in Heaven, I guess you knowā€”you know your own or you know who everyone is.ā€ Each time Landon died, he said he had a different experience in heaven. During his third visit, he says he met Jesus and was given a message and a mission.

ā€œJesus came to me and told me that I have to go back to earth and be a good Christian and tell others about Him,ā€ Landon shared.Ā ā€œI just want people to realize that Jesus is real, there is a heaven, there are angels. And to follow His word and the Bible, and life does get better at the end.ā€

Following the command Jesus gave him that day, Landon and Julie now use their experience to help others who areĀ struggling with loss and are in need of hope. ā€œI know Iā€™m doing it for Jesus,ā€ Landon added. ā€œI know that Heā€™s real. I know that angels are there. I know that thereā€™s a heaven. Iā€™ve seen Jesus. I know Heā€™s there. Heā€™s asked me to do this and this is what Iā€™m doing.ā€
ā€œI didnā€™t understand in 1997, you know, why God didnā€™t send an angel. But, I know that there were angels there. And, I know that we were protected and we are living out what His plan is for us,ā€ Julie said. ā€œInstead of staying stuck in grief or instead of staying mad at Him, I was able to use this story to help others not to give up and to keep their faith on their grief journey,ā€ she continued. ā€œIt is a huge blessing that I get to watch my child tell others about Jesus,ā€ Julie added. ā€œHe is always willing to let others know that there is a heaven. Cause heā€™s been there.
