A man died during a gang attack and encountered Heaven. He wanted to stay there, but it wasn’t his time yet. So, God brought him back to life!
Tony Davis, the Gospel Singer
Tony loved to sing. From a very young age, it was his dream to become a well-known R&B singer. But the road to stardom was really hard. Something need to change.
In desperation, he turned to God and prayed. “God if You’re real, please help me. Help me get out of this.”
That day, Tony gave his life to Jesus. He dedicated his life and passion and served God wholeheartedly. Instead of becoming an R&B singer, he became a gospel singer. Everything was going well and life was smooth for Tony and his wife Chriselda.

Until one dreadful night turned things around for them– Tony died and his wife witnessed it.
Man Died From Gang Attack
It was just a regular night for Tony when he had to pick up his wife from work. But instead of a warm embrace, he was met with gunfire the moment he stepped out of his car.
“Bullets started to ring from behind me,” Tony recalled.
One bullet hit his leg. Then another came. He down beside his car and a young man came from the other side and started to shoot him all over. In his face, chest, and legs.
In his mind, Tony said, “Why? What have I done for you to shoot me like this?”
“I knew I was going to die. There’s too much blood!”
Tony saw Heaven but was Brought Back to Life
Then Tony woke up floating in a sea of clouds. The clouds opened up and there, he saw a huge and beautiful city.
“It was strange but it was so beautiful. I saw these colors I’d never seen in my whole life. It was strange, glowing, and radiant,” Tony described.
He was enjoying the scenery when a voice spoke, “It’s not your time yet. Go back.”
“And I’m like, “No, no, no. No way!” said he.
“And he uttered my name, “Tony. Your work is not yet done. Go back,” Tony added.
The doctor pronounced him dead, and Tony woke up with on life support.
When the doctor was covering him with a white sheet, he saw Tony waking up. The doctor dropped the sheet and ran out of the room.
They couldn’t believe it! They said, “He was dead for thirty minutes.”
Tony was alive, but the doctors had to make an incision in his throat to immediately get air into his lungs. In the process they cut a piece of his vocal cord. He was also told that they need to amputate his left leg!
“I was mad at God. I asked why did he allow something like this to happen to a good person that’s trying to serve Him?” Chriselda said.
But Tony held on to his faith in God. He believed that He’ll show up and heal him. He prayed for a miracle and said he got it that very night!
“All of a sudden, I felt this warmness coming to that room. A nice warmth. It touched my leg up to my artery.”
God healed Tony’s body and was also touching his heart to do something more.

God wanted Tony to forgive those who shot him.
“Are you kidding me, why should I forgive those guys who shot me like this?”
And He said again, “You must forgive.”
Tony chose to forgive even though he didn’t want to.
And because of that, he had a new life. He continued to sing. And wherever he went, he made sure to share the power of God’s love.
“I know and truly believe that, “Nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love” (Romans 8:38, NLT).
