On It’s Supernatural: Ron Pettey died during an operation and went to heaven.
While in heaven, he heard people on earth praying for his recovery. He saw the angel who keeps the book of life, and he received a special message from another angel about his son.
Do angels exist? Are healing miracles real? Is there life after death? Can people get supernatural help from another dimension? Has the future been written in advance?
Sid Roth has spent 25 years researching the strange world of the supernatural. Join Sid on this edition of It’s Supernatural.
SID: Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world, where it’s naturally supernatural. My next guest died on the operating table, went to heaven, and came back, but with a serious problem. He had total amnesia. Well, God did a miracle, and he doesn’t have amnesia today, but he does have a problem with his short term memory. You may say “Well Sid, why are you going to interview him?” Because he came back with another gift. He has the gift of x-ray vision. He can look inside of someone, know what’s wrong with them, know what the problem is, and literally see the problem corrected.
He can look into the room and he can see angels. Sid Roth here with Ron and Glenda Pettey. I tell you, I protest again. I know, I’ve done it often. But, I protest. And I’m entitled, it’s my show. I protest. Ron, you have a gift to see in the invisible world. You have a gift to see inside of people, to pray for them. Last night, I asked you to look inside of me, and you saw what was going on, and you prayed. And I believe, and you believe, that I was healed. You also can look in a room and see what’s going on. To me, there’s no guesswork there. I like it that way. I guess I have to have more faith than you.
RON: There’s no faith involved, it’s a fact. I don’t understand it. I never have understood it, I never will, because it’s God who’s doing it. You can’t understand God.
SID: Glenda, you said sometimes, when this gift first started, he would say to you a room is very crowded. What was going on when he said that?
GLENDA: He just sees so many angels. He sees everyone’s guardian angel, and even in this room now, as we are here in this studio, he sees a very crowded room.
SID: So if there are fifty people, he could see a hundred people. Is that right?
RON: That’s correct.
GLENDA: And I think he sees them just as real as he’s seeing you and I. They’re not shadowy or ethereal, they’re just real. It’s amazing. I do not grasp how clearly he’s seeing it.
SID: Let me take you back. Tell me a bit about his disease that he had. Or, actually it isn’t a disease. What is it?
GLENDA: He had a head injury back in the Viet Nam War, on a Navy ship. Years later, he continued to have headaches. Then one year, the headaches were so increased that he was passing out from the pain. So, we had CAT scans, we had second and third opinions, and when they began to compare the CAT scans, they found that spinal fluid was not draining. Not draining enough, and it was very critical. So, they put in a shunt. I say “they”, the neurosurgeons, put in a shunt that drains spinal fluid. Then, as time passed, the shunt had to have corrections. It would malfunction. We went back in and out of the hospital with many emergencies. And then, about three years into this, the entire shunt had to be replaced. It had developed an infection. Well, in the replacement process, they had, inadvertently and accidentally, put the brand new tubing that would drain spinal fluid right into a massive blood clot that had not shown up on x-Ray.
SID: So it wouldn’t work.
GLENDA: Would not work. They would not really discover this for hours, and even a couple of days later, of what a critical mistake had been made. On a Sunday morning, they rushed him back into surgery, and that was the morning that he truly died on the operating table.
SID: Ron, when you died on the table, what memory do you have of what happened when you left your body?
RON: The memory was heaven. I knew exactly where I was.
SID: You mean you instantly left your body and you were in heaven?
RON: Instantly, yeah. There was no in-between. It was instantly. And I knew where I was, that was the amazing thing.
SID: What were the first things that you saw?
RON: Well, for one thing there was light everywhere. I mean it was like walking into a well-lit auditorium. Light everywhere. And I walked up to this table. I’m calling it a table, because there’s no better term. I walked up to this table and asked the person, “I’m ready to go in.” There was a big book on this table. He looked through this book, and my name wasn’t there.
SID: Oh no!
RON: Really. That’s what I thought! I said “Have I been deceived all these years?” And it came about that I raised such a ruckus… Now this is hard to believe, a ruckus with an angel – in heaven!
SID: Listen, I would’ve raised a ruckus too. How about you? You would’ve raised a ruckus too.
He can’t get into heaven. Would you like to find out why? I know you do. Don’t go away. I tell you, his book, “Heaven Is Real”, the presence of God is so strong when I read this book. It’s one of these books you literally cannot put down. People that are afraid of death, after they finish this book, they no longer have fear of death. People that have lost loved ones, after they read this book… Ron and Glenda, what happened to you, and what you, Ron, experienced in heaven, takes away all worry about loved ones in heaven. We’ll be right back after this word, and find out why Ron was not allowed into heaven.
