I want to share with you why God is real and my name is Edgar Reich. I do want to tell you for just one minute that the testimony you're going to hear is real and there are no strings attached because God is a wonderful God but he will also judge. So I used to run a 900 million dollar operation in Europe, I ran foreign businesses from the United States and I also taught business at the University of Toronto. At the same time I was living deep, deep in sin. I had lost my family, I had left my wife, I had left two beautiful daughters and I was living common law. I was living in deep sin, I was into drugs and other sins and I was on my way to hell and now I come to why God is real. On the morning in early spring in 2004 I woke up around 7 a.m. in my condominium and immediately I was in a vision. I was in an open grave and I was six feet down. I was lying on my back and the earth was neatly cut out of the grave. There was a late afternoon sun, the leaves were rustling above the grave and it seemed all so real and I said what am I doing in this grave? I must get out. I tried to sit up, I could not sit up. I looked at myself and there were big ropes of sin right from my neck all the way down to my feet and I could not move and I realized I needed help to get out so I started to call for help. I seemed to call for hours and no one came. Then I noticed that there were worms coming from the earth, they were feeding on me. Part of my body was turning into earth and dust and was falling off me and that moment I realized I was on my way to hell forever and ever and ever. Now I had been to church, I had heard about the Christian son of God and that he can save us, that he can give us new life and it seemed that I was so hopeless, I had no choice and I changed my call and I called out to God and I said God if your son is real, if you're real, if Jesus Christ is real, I need help. Is there any mercy left for men like me? Please save me, please come and save me. Again it seemed like no one seemed to come for many hours and I thought I truly was on my way to hell but then after a few hours a person appeared on the bottom of the grave and he reached into the grave and he put his hand around my neck. He helped me to sit up and as I sat up my sins snapped off my body as if they were thread and I believe it was the son of God who had come to save me. That moment I woke up, I'd fallen out of bed, I was lying next to my bed and I realized that God had saved me and so I knelt next to my bed, I confessed my sins, I repented of my sins, I said Lord I will step away from these sins and give me a new life. I will follow you and I give my life to you and beloved grandchildren, beloved friends who are watching, this is what happened. Then heaven came down and glory filled my soul when through the cross where Jesus died he made me whole. My sins were all forgiven and I'm now on my way to heaven. I can testify yes God is real and please come to the next installment in the future to see why God is real because there is a story, there is truth to follow. Thank you for joining me. Bye-bye for now. ======================================================================== Video: https://sermonindex2.b-cdn.net/tKTdbbv-c1M.mp4 Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/edgar-reich/yes-god-is-real-the-grave/ ========================================================================
