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

A boy named Landon Whitley shares an incredible story of life, death, and a divine message. After surviving a car accident, Landon claims he received a special message from Jesus to share with the world.

Back on October 19, 1997, Landon was just an 8-year-old boy riding in the backseat with his parents after a church service. Tragically, their car was struck by an ambulance at an intersection. Landon’s father, Andy, lost his life instantly. Landon’s mother, Julie, recalls the frightening ordeal. Even while rescuers were attending to Julie, they didn’t realize Landon was also in the car until spotting his shoe.

When discovered, Landon wasn’t breathing. He was resuscitated on the spot, only to lose his life again twice more that day. Against all odds, he was revived each time. Julie was told that if Landon survived, he might suffer severe brain damage, unable to walk, talk, or even eat. Nevertheless, Julie clung to hope, even as she mourned her husband’s loss.

During these trying times, Julie felt a mix of despair and hope. She questioned God’s plans but prayed fervently for her son’s recovery. Miraculously, two weeks later, Landon opened his eyes. Though he needed machines to stay alive, doctors were astonished to find no brain damage.

Julie then faced the heartbreaking task of telling Landon about his father’s passing. To her surprise, Landon already knew. He claimed to have seen his father in heaven. But that wasn’t all—Landon shared other remarkable details about heaven.

Landon revealed that he had met siblings and family friends in heaven, some of whom he had never known about. “Oh mom, by the way, I forgot to tell you,” Landon said. “I saw your two other children.” Julie, who had miscarried twice before Landon, was taken aback as they had never shared this information with him.

Over the years, Landon has continued to share the message he received during his near-death experiences. He believes he was sent back to Earth with a mission from Jesus—to live as a devout Christian and share the reality of angels, heaven, and Jesus himself.

Now, both Landon and Julie use their story to help others dealing with loss or searching for hope. They see their journey as part of a higher purpose, encouraging others to keep faith even during tough times. Julie now feels certain that angels were indeed watching over them.

“I didn’t understand why God didn’t send an angel back in 1997,” Julie reflects. “But now, I know angels were there. We’ve been kept safe, and we’re fulfilling His plan for us.”

Landon remains committed to spreading the message he believes Jesus entrusted him with. Julie takes immense pride in seeing her son passionately sharing his experiences about heaven. “Seeing my child share Jesus with others is such a blessing,” she says. “He never hesitates to share the good news of paradise because he has been there.”
