Have you or someone you know lost a child, maybe
a baby or a child that was 8, 9, 10 years old or a teenager that has gone on to be with the Lord. Where are they at right now?
What are they doing? What is taking place? What about babies that have been aborted? The soul and spirit of a little
baby, does it exist? Or as some people teach, it is just a blob of tissue, until it becomes a child.
Today, I have a very
special guest on Manifest. We are doing a series on life after death, a series that involves people that have personally have
had experiences with life after death, and have seen paradise. They have stepped out of their physical body to act seen paradise.
I have with me today Bishop Earthquake Curtis Kelley. He was called Earthquake because he was boxer. If you look at this
man you can tell he can box. I’m glad he’s on my side.
Bishop, you have been involved for many years in feeding poor people,
inner city people, people who are drug dealers, drug addicts, prostitutes, and you’ve ministered to the poor of the poor, the needy
of the Needy.
You had a son who was 24 years of age, and you were feeding people in the Watts district, which is known around for
the world as one of the toughest areas of the U.S. for gangs. And your son’s car was carjacked and he was shot twice in the
Chest and was killed instantly on December 7th, 1998.
However with the grief that you were experiencing, you yourself experienced
a brain aneurysm, in which they didn’t think you were going to live. This was the year 2004 in December. You were taken to the
hospital. You’ve described to me about the pain and the agony. Tell us about the experience you had. People have
got to hear this.
---------- Bishop Earthquake Kelley -------------------
When I got to the
Hospital, they put me right inside the examination room. I didn’t know I had a brain aneurysm. I though it was just a
headache. They gave me some medication but it didn’t work, and something went wrong. It forced the air out of my body.
I felt like my chest was being crushed, like a heart attack. So I could not breathe and I was fighting just to breathe.
I noticed that the Dr. and my wife were trying to help me, but I went into convulsions.
During
this time, all the air left my body. I started falling, I saw myself going into this horrible pit. I’m a minister, this
is should not be happening. As I’m going into this pit, I’m hollering and screaming, “God, how could this be happening to me?
I’m a man of God, I’ve served You, I’ve done everything You told me to do.” As I was going down I could hear all this screaming
and yelling. I got to a certain point I stopped. Then I hear God say, “I want you to hear and see what happens to people
that die at hospitals around the world, and don’t have me.” They die lost! And this is what happens to them. He
said, “Don’t Fear, this is just for you to come back as a warning for those that don’t know me.”
Then I started coming back up, and He put me back in my body. I could hear my doctors working on me, trying to get me
to breathe. I could hear everything that the doctors and nurses were saying. I kept saying, “I’m here, I’m here, I’m alive,
I’m here!” They worked and worked on my, but after a while they just stopped. I could hear them say, “there’s nothing
else we could do.” My spirit was saying, “I’m alive,” but I couldn’t open my eyes or even lift a finger. I was trying
to lift one finger, but nothing. I was saying, “I’m alive” but I could hear them starting to shut down the equipment, because
they gave up.
But I hear God’s voice say “Open your eyes.” When I opened my
eyes, there was one female doctor that said “Welcome back, we though we had lost you.” From there they rushed me to another
room and put on all these tubes and everything on me, in intensive care.

Tell
us what happened a couple days later in your room.
---------- Bishop Earthquake Kelley -------------------
I was in my room, praising God, but I was in a lot of pain. They had to pack my head with 2 big blocks of ice.
My blood pressure was way too high. They had to check me ever 15 minutes to see if I had died. So they checked me around
the clock.
A nurse came in, and I said “can you turn on a nice Christian channel,
I don’t want to see a Cops show with everyone shooting.” So she tried to find a channel but she couldn’t find one. So I said, “just
shut the door and turn off the light”.
When she left the room and shut the door, I saw this
big golden beautiful thing come into the room. I was looking right at it. It settled at the foot of the bed.
They had me strapped down, so I couldn’t really move. I sat up and said, “This thing was so beautiful.
What is that?” Then like a snap of the finger, it lifted me out of the bed.
---------- Host Perry Stone, Jr. -----------------------
Do
you think your soul came of your body, like Paul talks about in 2nd Corinthians.
---------- Bishop Earthquake Kelley -------------------
Yes, I left my shell. I was looking down on my body, but I didn’t recognize, so I said, “man,
that guy is in bad shape, he’s not going to make it.” I was actually looking at myself.
Then a second later, I was taken with this big golden thing into this beautiful garden. I saw trees that were so big that it
would take 10 men, hand to hand, to wrap around them. I saw blades of grass where each blade had a diamond, a jewel and an emerald
inside of the blade. It was so manicured, better than any golf course.
---------- Host Perry Stone, Jr. -----------------------
Did
you walk on it?
---------- Bishop Earthquake Kelley -------------------
I’m about 6 foot 5
inches and the angel was 7 feet tall, and the angel said “Go, walk.” I thought that the grass with the emeralds would go through my
foot, and cut it. But the angel said, “no, walk.” As I walked, it felt as soft as cotton.
---------- Host Perry Stone, Jr. -----------------------
Amazing!
You said that you also saw the river of life.
---------- Bishop Earthquake Kelley -------------------
Yes, as I kept walking, I saw a river. The river was looked like it was dancing to music.
---------- Host Perry Stone,
Jr. -----------------------
Could you hear music?
---------- Bishop Earthquake Kelley -------------------
Yes, I could hear music.
---------- Host Perry Stone, Jr. -----------------------
So the water was flowing with the music.
What did it look like?
---------- Bishop Earthquake Kelley -------------------
It looked like
liquid diamonds, like melted diamonds, like different rainbow colors.
I got so excited,
I wanted to put some in my pocket. I wanted to drink some, I wanted to swim. In the natural I cannot swim, but there I felt
like swimming. I was so excited to see that I thought “everybody needs to see this.”
I could see the river was coming from this real big beautiful building. I could also hear angels singing. Then I looked at the
other side of this river and I saw my son.
---------- Host Perry Stone, Jr. -----------------------
The one that had been killed.
Did he look the same?
---------- Bishop Earthquake Kelley -------------------
He looked really
good. So I yelled “Hey, Scott” He said, “Dad, Dad”
“Is that you”, I said.
He replied, “Yes Dad, this place is much more beautiful than you or mom ever told me.” I said, “Scott, can I get on the other side,
with you?”
He said, “No Dad, you can’t right now, you got to go back.”
I said, “No, where’s the boat? There’s got to be a boat here.”
---------- Host Perry Stone, Jr. -----------------------
So
you just wanted to get across the river where he was?
---------- Bishop Earthquake Kelley -------------------
Yea, I just wanted to hug him. It was 1998 since I’ve last seen him, it’s been 6 years, and I really wanted to
Hug him.
---------- Host Perry Stone, Jr. -----------------------
So 6 years have past had past. So he looked the same, but you said
he looked great. And He knew you by name, he knew you were dad. Did he tell you anything?
---------- Bishop Earthquake Kelley -------------------
Yes, he said “Dad, remember when you make me that promise”
I was a boxer, and he could hardly hit me, I was smooth and I would always tag him all the time. He could never get me.
We were boxing in the kitchen, and he stopped and gave me the biggest hug. This was the day before we died. He said, “Dad, I
want you to make me a promise.” He was squeezing me so tight I could hardly breathe. I said, “what’s the matter, something happen
at work of something?” He said, “no, Dad I want you to make me a promises, that you will never stop, you and Mom will never
stop preaching deliverance, you would never stop helping the drug addicts and the gang members. If you don’t make me that promises,
I’m not going to turn you lose.” I said, “ok, ok, ok son.” And he let me go and I said, “oh, man are you ok?” He said,
“I’m ok.”
On the next day I want to preach revival in Nevada. I got the worst call
you can ever get in your life, my wife told me that he was carjacked, and he was shot in the chest point-blank twice. To see
him in paradise was, oh man. He told me, “You have to keep doing. You can’t come in here because you are not finished,
you’ve got to finish. You gave me your word that you would finish. You’ve got to go back and finish.”
----------
Host Perry Stone, Jr. -----------------------
Did you see anybody else?
---------- Bishop Earthquake Kelley -------------------
Yes, I saw some of the ministers that I knew, people who had passed away, people that I’ve been
to their home service. They were also on the other side. They also said, “You can’t come, you’ve got to go back.”
----------
Host Perry Stone, Jr. -----------------------
Did you think that if you crossed that river you don’t go back? Was that your perception?
----------
Bishop Earthquake Kelley -------------------
That’s what I thought, that’s why I was trying
my best to get over there.
