Sid Roth: Hello, Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world, where it’s naturally supernatural. My guest medically died, went to heaven, and was sent back to describe heaven next.

Welcome, Holy Spirit. Go and flow. My guest, Gabe Poirot, was raised in a Christian home, but he was not—please get this now—he was not an experiential Christian. Four years ago, he had a horrific accident. Gabe, what happened?

Gabe Poirot: I was just on an ordinary ride with my friends, who were on a OneWheel, and I had an electric skateboard. I wanted to race my buddy. We would race cars even at times.

Sid Roth: I've never been on an electric skateboard, but it can actually go as fast as a car?

Gabe Poirot: It can go just as fast as a car with no speed limit, of course. Helmets are for the crazies. I don’t need a helmet, at the time, of course not. So I look at my friend and I say, "Let's race." There's a smile that erupts on my face. There's nothing that could go wrong in my life, Sid, nothing at all.

We had just been around to the little pond and were hooking back. There's a curve in the middle of the road. I remember being right behind him, Sid, and there's this little light bump in that middle of the road. My skateboard hooked left, and as I was just going right around that curve, I flipped off my skateboard at about 30 miles per hour. I backflipped and landed directly on my head.

Sid Roth: And this was on concrete?

Gabe Poirot: Direct concrete, yes, sir. Just imagine your head flying at a 30 miles per hour velocity directly into the concrete. Of course, this was right before my 21st birthday, so so much for a party.

Immediately, as soon as my skull hit that pavement, from the top of my head down to the bottom of my neck, my skull was cracked in half. Blood flooded my lungs. I immediately left my body. I immediately died right then and there. I lost breath. My body went rigid. I looked at my friend as he held my body in his arms.

I ascended above and above. I would describe it, at first, as 10 or 15 feet above, but I wasn't just above him. I was finally seeing this world for what it truly is, and I was finally seeing me for who I truly was. Sid, I wasn't just a body, because I was looking at my body. Who I really was was a spirit. I had just left my body like a glove.

As my spirit left my body, I recognized, as terrible of a situation as it seemed on the earth, I had no fear, Sid. Everyone is always scared of dying and they're so afraid of what that moment could look like. It's completely unknown.

But, Sid, truthfully, who I really was—and I knew the Lord before this, I knew Him as my Savior—who I really was never died. My spirit never died. My body was, but my spirit was just alive as it has ever been. It was more alive than ever before.

I literally was just suctioned up into this tunnel. As I'm traveling up in the tunnel, two things happened. I knew that I was going to return to my body at some point. I just knew. I knew what the doctors were saying. They were talking about me in past tense. They called in my parents from Virginia, the whole nine yards. But I was just suctioned up into this light.

As I'm being suctioned up into this tunnel, all the darkness of this world is just melting off of me. It's literally just sliding right off of me.

Sid Roth: How old are you at this point?

Gabe Poirot: I'm 20 years old. As I'm being just suctioned up into this light, it's not just a place I'm traveling to. This is a person I have an appointment with. I know I'm not just about to go to heaven. I know I'm about to be with Heaven Himself. It wasn't just a location, Sid. A great trembling, a great respect starts in my soul.

Sid Roth: And there’s still no fear?

Gabe Poirot: No, not an ounce. There's a respect and there's a holiness that I know where I'm about to be. I know to whom I'm about to be with. There's a holiness, but there's not an ounce of fear. I knew it was all taken care of.

This life review showed me so many things I worked for. My entire life played before me in a flash. In a moment's time, it played before me. I saw how Jesus was with me in every single moment, even the mistakes I made, Sid. Even my worst hypocrisy, my lying, my addictions to things that were just horrendous. I saw how actually Jesus never left my side, and He was sewing it all together for my good because His arm was right next to me throughout the entire time.

We live this life and we really just think that we have everything because of our own ability. We really just come to this conclusion that it must just be us, and we do not recognize every day we have on this earth is a gift from God. The fact we're still breathing is a grace.

I speak to the viewer right now. There is so much more hope for your day than you recognize. You are not too old; you are not too young. You have today. This is what I started to understand. My timeline shifted, and I all of a sudden realized that I had more hope because of Him, not because of my own abilities. I wasn't limited to myself anymore, but it was His hand on my life that made me. He thought of me before my mother's womb. He thought of me before the entire universe was made, Sid. He thought of me.

Sid Roth: Kind of mind-blowing, isn't it?

Gabe Poirot: Mind-blowing. As I'm suctioned up in this light, this is what I'm recognizing. As populated as heaven was and as many things are going on in this throne room, this city, I was brought into the center of this city. Revelation mentions this city. I was brought into the center and then the throne room. It's surrounded by glory. There's creatures flying all around. I could act like I know it all and give you all the names, but honestly, I don't, because there was only one name that I was so focused on at this moment. There was only one person that mattered, before, during, and after, forever for the rest of my life, and I'm right before Him.

As I'm standing there, Sid, I literally—there's such a holy reverence for this place. I was greatly concerned that it was over for me, that He was going to pull out the list of all the mistakes I made. I remember earlier in my life, I had been such a liar. I'd been addicted to all these horrible pornography things and lust, and I'd been doing drugs and I'd been playing both sides. I'd been just a complete hypocrite in my life. I was so concerned that I was done. I'd be exposed. There's no hiding.

Here's what happened, Sid. As this fear is deep within my soul, all of a sudden, He picks up my face. He picks up my head and He shows me His wounds. He says, "Gabriel, the price is paid. Why are you concerned about that which does not exist?"

Sid Roth: Wow. You could think about that for all eternity.

Gabe Poirot: Literally. He didn't speak to me in audible words. It was spirit-to-spirit.

Sid Roth: Give me more description of Jesus.

Gabe Poirot: He was nothing like I'd been presented on this earth. He was the opposite of the picture that religion will put on him on this earth. I mean that. He's not feminine. He's not soft. He's not even "nice," Sid. He doesn't play games. He's a man. He means what He says, and He doesn't try to love. He doesn't think about loving me. He doesn't get to loving me. He is love.

I am not because of what I have done, not because of what I think I am, not because of all of my record of my life. I am because He is. As I looked into the eyes of Jesus, I saw me, Sid. I saw how He saw me, as if—exactly as if—God was looking at Jesus.

Sid Roth: Did you see any rejection?

Gabe Poirot: Never. No, rejection doesn't exist in heaven, Sid. It doesn't exist. Seriously, Jesus looked at me and He said, "Why are you concerned about that which has been paid for?"

The throne room, as grandiose as it is, Sid, there's such intimacy. As large as it is, you have never been so close to anyone in your life as when you are in the throne room. You are so close to both Jesus and the Father.

Now, don't get me mistaken. I couldn't look at the Father and return, or even—I couldn't look at the Father. But as I was looking at Jesus, I saw the Father. I had a Father, Sid, a Father that didn't reject me, a Father that I didn't have to prove myself to, a Father that I didn't have to work for. I had a Father who already loved me.

Sid Roth: You made another very profound statement that's just hard for me to put my brain around. "Compromise lost its appeal."

Gabe Poirot: Lost its appeal. No longer did I have to qualify myself for this Jesus. No longer did I have to work towards this Jesus because I recognized, Sid, that His love was His own being and it wasn't something that I had to earn.

At the same time, because of His love that He freely gave to me, as He spoke to me, as He was before me, He released His own being into my being. As these words are just chopping me up from the inside, my desire to play sides with the world—especially after I was sent back, I saw this—my desire to see how close I could get to the fence was burned away.

So, Sid, as I'm seeing Jesus for who He truly is, He was about six feet tall, but yet He expanded the lengths of eternity. He was dark yet light at the same time. That's why it's so hard when people say, "What did Jesus look like? What race was He?" It's like, dude, He's every race. He's both black, brown, white, yellow, purple, all in one.

It talks in the Bible that "My Father's house has many mansions." Did you actually see a mansion?

Gabe Poirot: Oh, there were many. There were many, but Sid, I saw *the* mansion.

Sid Roth: What's that?

Gabe Poirot: Him. Sid, this is what is so beautiful. In His eyes are His entire plans that He has for my life. He designed a mansion for me, and every room and every detail and every crevice, He thought of me. Of course it has a basketball hoop. Of course it has a certain table. Of course it has a backyard the way it is and it's near the beach and the mountains and all those things.

But it's more than just physical. It's not physical; it's spiritual. Then I saw how actually His mansions were represented as a part of Him. All the gifts and desires and passions He gave me are because He loves it just as much as I do. He's so much involved with all the things I care about as I am, and it's beautiful. There are many mansions in heaven, but the reason I say "the" mansion is because they only reflect Him and His glory.

Sid Roth: Gabe saw how powerful our words are when he was in heaven. Once you get this revelation, this alone is worth the show for the rest of your life. We'll be right back.

Sid Roth: Okay, let's start with words. What did you find out about words?

Gabe Poirot: Firstly, the words that Jesus was speaking to me, they weren't separate entities of His being. They were His own person. For every word He spoke, He was not releasing some of Him or one of His thoughts or some of His abilities. He was releasing His full presence into my very being.

I quickly came to understand that as He is, so am I. There's a relationship that Jesus wants to have with me where He wants a return. It's not just a sending; it's a return. It's a conversation. He knows me and I can know Him.

He just unveils—I see the second heaven and I see my family and my friends, and I see His family. I saw sons and daughters speaking words out loud, but they weren't their own opinions, they weren't their own thoughts. They were speaking the words of Christ Himself.

Sid Roth: The words in the Bible?

Gabe Poirot: Yes, the Word of God in their mouth.

Sid Roth: How important is the Bible and speaking the Word of God now that you had that revelation?

Gabe Poirot: It's everything, Sid, because I saw how I was not only created by the Word, I was created for the Word. It is our oxygen. It is our water. I saw how Jesus is every particle of everything we could ever need, ask, dream, or imagine. So when we speak the Word of God out loud, we are returning to our original purpose in Him.

Sid Roth: What if someone speaks the Word of God out loud and doesn't feel a thing? Is it just as powerful?

Gabe Poirot: It's not only just as powerful, they need to recognize what is truly real. Sid, when I passed from the physical, I saw how the spiritual world—and especially the third heaven—is more real than anything on this earth. I can't judge my faith off of what I feel or just see on the earth. I need to see the full realm.

That's why it's important we speak from the third heaven, which is where the real realm is, which is where Truth Himself is. Everything else here down on this earth is just fading away. It's temporary. It's not to be trusted. But if we speak from the spirit, if we speak from the third heaven to what we see, actually, we can see heaven transferred down to earth.

That's what Jesus actually showed me. He showed me words that were spoken by free-will moral agents, sons and daughters made in His image, made in His likeness, over my body of life, even in the midst of the worst diagnostics from the hospital. They said, "Gabe will live and not die." Even though they said, "Hey, we don't even know if he's going to live again. If he does come back to life, if he comes back to his body, he'll be a mental vegetable for the rest of his life."

Yet, yet there was the family of Christ Himself who spoke over me. I kid you not, Jesus showed me how important these prayers are to the Father and to Him. Jesus picked up every prayer. They were His priority. He picked them up and they became these building blocks that literally formed heaven.

Sid, He has this golden bowl. This golden bowl is so precious to Him. It's His everything. It's heaven's priority. He gathers all the prayers of His brothers and sisters and He literally breathes on them as if they are His own prayers. He turns and He presents it to the Father. He presents it to His Dad. He says, "Father, here's what I have." And the Father breathes back on these prayers.

Jesus showed all of this to me. As I'm seeing this, all of a sudden, Jesus looks at me—and I never want to leave His presence, Sid, I do not want to leave—but He looks at me and says, "Gabriel, your time is not up. Show them who I really am. Tell them who I really am."

He said, "I'm sending you back on the prayers of My sons and daughters who spoke My word out loud. You will wake up and you will bring the truth to the world."

Sid Roth: Gabe, God brought you back from heaven to earth. Tell me briefly that process.

Gabe Poirot: It was November 12, 2021. The hospital, again, had witnessed my body just teetering back and forth. I was in a coma for 18 days. They were even preparing the bag to roll my body out on. They put me on the floor that is filled with the "screamers," the most intense place.

Actually, right before they were going to put a tracheotomy in me—where they were going to take out my voice because I wasn't getting oxygen, I truly wasn't breathing really—right before, my friend said, "No, he's coming back. He will live and not die."

It was so beautiful. There was actually a praying nurse a day before I came back. There was a praying nurse who was speaking life over me. I saw all these prayers. I saw all these people who were standing in faith.

I was sent back and I woke up in my body. Sure enough, when I came back, the doctors and nurses were just stunned. They were telling me all about these different things, and I just told them, I said, "Well, the Lord said I'll live and not die, so thank you."

I went on to fully recover. At the time, I was half my weight. I have all the medical evidence, but my skull truly was completely cracked, but it went on to completely recover. They had never seen a medical case like mine, Sid. Every other traumatic brain accident that they had ever witnessed did not end up like mine. I went on to completely recover and give Him glory.

Sid Roth: Did a doctor ever come to you after you fully recovered and talk to you? What did he say?

Gabe Poirot: I'm glad you asked. Actually, this past month, I visited the same hospital that I had been in. The doctor walks right up to me. He says, "I believe in God. I can't explain you." He says, "I can't explain why you're alive. I have zero medical explanation."

He's touching me as if he's like, "Wow, this is real, you're alive." Because, Sid, he only saw my dead body. He only saw me just gone, lifeless basically. I was teetering right in between. He goes, "This is a miracle. We had to resuscitate you, then we had to put you in the coma, then I had to call your parents." He testified. I saw the same ER room. I saw the same bed that my body had been on, and we talked all about it, took a photo together, and rejoiced together.

Sid Roth: Last word. Look in the camera.

Gabe Poirot: Listen, you must understand this. Your Father loves you. He is not angry at you. He is not holding your life against you. He is angry for you. He wants you to know Him one-on-one. He wants you to look past all the distractions and get real with Him.

I'm here to tell you, if you will make the decision to bring yourself into His presence now—even though you may not have been in an accident like myself, trust me, it's much better that you not crack your skull in half. It's much better that you just believe Him now. In the closet of your house, will you seek His face? He will encounter you.

So Jesus, I just thank You. This is the one You died for. This is the one You gave everything for. I thank You that in Your blood, they are victorious. One day they'll meet You. One day their last breath will come. But now they'll get ready. Now they'll be ready. In Jesus' name.

Sid Roth: Thank you, Holy Spirit. Go and flow.

About It's Supernatural!

It's Supernatural! deals with subjects that most shy away from in this seeker-sensitive age. It emphasizes the supernatural, biblical viewpoint that the secular networks do not understand. And at the end of each program, host, Sid Roth, tells the viewers how they can have intimacy with God.

About Sid Roth

Sid Roth, host of It's Supernatural! television program, is a Jewish believer in Jesus the Messiah. In 1977 Sid started a ministry called Messianic Vision and a nationally syndicated radio broadcast by the same name (he started the TV program in the 1990's). But the Messianic Vision is more than a ministry or a program; it is a desire to reach out with the good news of the Messiah "to the Jew first" (Romans 1:16). This is not just God's historical order for spreading the gospel, but also His eternal spiritual order. When we follow this "law of evangelism," God opens a supernatural door to reach large numbers of Gentiles (even more than if we had gone to the Gentile first). God's heart is to reach all people. His strategy is "to the Jew first."
