Christian Teen Shares Final Thoughts Before His Death

WOW, WE ALL KNOW GOD IS POWERFUL BUT, THIS IS AN AMAZING AND TOUCHING LIFE STORY... MAY GOD BE WITH BEN'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS. TODAY, TOMORROW AND ALWAYS -- UNTIL, THEY ALL MEET AGAIN IN HEAVEN... GOD, DOES BLESS US ALL EACH DAY WITH ANOTHER GIFT OF LIFE.....

I am a Christian. I believe that Jesus Christ is God made flesh, that he died for my sins and that He is the only way to salvation. I sometimes meet other Christians who question my salvation because my outward expression of faith/spirituality does not look like their own. I am sure you have experienced the same. At one time I defended my own walk by questioning theirs. I regret to say that it took years for me to realize that I was guilty of the same divisive speech. The word kept bringing me back to extending grace. We are all part of the same body, even if you are an eye and I am a foot. I have come to know (for me only?) that edification of the body of Christ must guide me in all speech and circumstances. I really liked what Ben's sister had to say at his funeral.

To Ben's Parents You need to know Ben had such a good experience to feel a little peace for your self. I know it hurts we are the one's that hurt when someone we love dies. Ben went to heaven on the best day in heaven ever. Pray for Peace here on earth Ben, I sure you were loved very much.

Hey, the Breedlove Family. My older brother passed in 1995. My family understands your grief and faith in Christ....I watched this video of Ben and the video of your daughter's sharing at Ben's funeral....One thing I love about what I read and heard, is your last name. Breelove. I saw that lived out. Not just in his sister's love for Ben, or how close your family is (when you all prayed together), and not even just in how much Ben loved that room in his vision. It was the Love of Christ/God that they both talked about. Such a peace as in Phil. 4 really is un-explainable. I, too, have experienced His peace. Not within the same circumstances as yourselves or of the other's testimonies on this page, but it was definitely of God. With what I read and heard, I love the wisdom and perspective He gives us. God bless you all as you continue to live this life here on earth in honor of bringing glory to God. Thank-you, Mr. and Mrs. Breedlove, for raising your family to know God. KNOW Him. I praise God for families like yours, who through whatever circumstance they face, God draws attention back to Himself through their stories. Your boy and girl have been a great encouragement. And I know that reflects how their home life has been....God will continue to provide all you need, more than you may currently realize. He has done much for me. God Bless, Elisa R.; Minnesota. P.S. I know I'm not the only one who would love to be updated with how you and your family are doing, respectfully. Consider letting us know about events in your lives as you continue to live for Him. Eg: Daughter's grad from college, passages of scripture that have encouraged/strengthened you, encouraging stories of help you have received throughout Ben's life and this new chapter you now live.

I Too have cheated death 3 time. the last time I was gone for 5 min. and did not want to come back. I was sent back an got losted on my way back. wow let me tell you that was na experience I will never for get. not to say I will for get the other time but, I fealt lost for weeks after that. I know I will be going back soon. , y husban ask how do I know all I can say is I know.he keeps saying you will be around for a while No no I will not. the only thing keeping my heart going is my pacemaker/ defibulater and bubble gum lol my heart is so bad that st. judes did not beleve my doc. got it in. it should have only taken 45 min. start to finish 4 hr later they wheel me out of th OR.i have gon throw 2 of them in 2 1/2 yr. I know I will be going home soon , but we all will. we are only passing throw here. on our way home. I know it sound bad but I wish he would have kept me. I still had work to do. God gave me the time to say good by to my children.with hom I will miss very much but I will see them again.

HEBREWS 9:27a tells us that "It is appointed unto men once to die", so Ben never really "cheated death". GOD was prepareing for the time when it would come to him. While we all have much grief in my heart for Ben's family is their loss of such an awesome young man, let's also rejoice in the fact that on CHRISTMAS Day, A day in which we celebrate GODS greatest gift to man his son JESUS CHRIST, that Ben recieved the greatest gift of all! ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! I can't think of a greater gift to recieve on that special day than what Ben recieved! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Oh what joy Ben must be having up in heaven! God, I'm so privileged to have this hope of eternity with you. God, please please widen the narrow road to heaven so that all may join this wonderful relationship with you.

I am blessed. I thought I'm the only christian who felt the same as ben. I know that someday, this hurtful struggle that I have been experiencing since childhood would be a great testimony to everyone who will hear it. =') Jesus HELP ME.

God be with you always.

This is the 3rd or 4th time I have watched Ben's presentation. Some thing that stuck out to me was when he said that he was not able to do all the things that other kids got to do. When I heard him say that, I thought, "None of his friends are having such a profound impact upon the world as Ben is through his video." Mom, Dad your son is and continues to be an inspirations. His legacy of hope will never die...and in a minute we will be with him, God and the angels. Be encouraged my friends.

To Ben's parents, Your sons life is an awesome testimony, and I thank God that he had a chance to share it with others, It is my prayer that it will bring other to Christ, young and old alike. Your son was a young man that took his adversitys in live and made them a testimony to the Glory of God. You guided your son in the ways of God, what a great joy. Thank you for shareing this with others. And I say this to the family, HOLD YOUR HEAD UP AND CONTINUE YOUR WALK WITH THE LORD, AND REMEMBER EARTH HAS NO SORROW THAT HEAVEN CANNOT HEAL. AND I SAY TO BEEN GOOD MORNING, YOU ARE HOME NOW.

to start - my prayers to the breedlove family - may God provide you with the peace and comfort that only He can give during this time of sorrow - secondly - I know what it's like to have a child with a cardiac condition - my son was born with 3 different congenital heart defects - one not diagnosed til he was a preschooler. he had to have surgery when he was 15 months old - when his surgeon told me the risks for his surgery, I went into a period of emotional shock - while the odds were in my son's favor, any major risk is too much for a parent - I remember the day before we were to go to the hospital for admission I could barely get out of bed - I got to church very late but I made it. after the service was over, my parents asked why I was so late. my response was to break down and cry hysterically. it was the first time I allowed myself to fall apart since my son's diagnosis a couple of months before. I had been accused of not caring by friends cuz I didn't cry or freak out. I was freaking out - inside - but I had a family to take care of - if I fell apart, I was no good for them. so I put on a brave face, doing my wifely and motherly duties, and smiled. but on this particular day, with the surgery only two days away, I couldn't be brave any longer. fortunately, my son is now almost 24 years old. he still has issues and is facing surgery again for his one condition - only time will tell as to when it will be necessary...but God has been gracious and kept him safe and I am truly blessed. lastly - for those that may have questioned as to whether ben was a Christ-believing Christian - if you watch the video of his sister speaking at his funeral - you may find out the answer to your question. again - my heart and prayers to the breedlove family.

Ben is such a beautiful boy, I love the way he smiles each time he holds up a card telling us of a time that he was extremely happy. His testimony brings me that much closer to Jesus! Thank God and thank you Ben for this.

wow that's by the grace of god I kinda went through the same thing except it was in 2010 I came in from shoveling and I live with my mamaw anyways I asked my mamaw to come into where I was and the next thing we knew I passed out and quit breathing and the officer came in and I guess that I needed ventilated long story short they brought me back to life and then I went home and was sick for a while but god healed me god bless.

Hello folks, a sad story because he was so young, but a happy ending knowing he went from this world to a MUCH better place.I have a story as well, am 59 yrs old, used to be quite a wild person, adventurous, pretty uncaring about others and myself, daredevil if you will...@ 27 yrs old, I was diving in a cave ( not certified and very unprepared), nevertheless being watched over by angels the whole time... I almost ran out of air (had about 5 minutes left), and prayed to Jesus to help me.At the time, I was absolutely terrified, cold, dark, breathing water thru my regulator causing coughing, which is very scary @ 60 ft. down, not knowing where the exit was, and if I was going to live or not.Anyway, here's the most important part, and I will remember it till my memory fails or I die, whichever comes first, and after what I've been thru, I am NOT afraid of death whatsoever... actually looking fwd to it very much! When I called out the name of Jesus, I felt very peaceful, calm, and amazingly, warm from head to foot.When I got home that evening, my wife ( married now 37 years) asked if I was in trouble that day.I said, yes, I almost died.She asked what time...I said, around 3 pm.She said, the Holy Spirit told me to stop what I was doing (washing dishes) and pray for your husband...he is in trouble...at first she discounted the admonishment, then, the holy spirit said again to pray for me, so she did. I will ALWAYS believe in intercession when you call out to Jesus for help.Every day we wake up is a blessing, so enjoy this life, and try to be a blessing to all you meet. God bless all, Dave Austin.

Your video touch my heart... A drunk driver hit our family car a few years ago killing my 5 yr old son Rip Brian Bishop we were all prounced dead at the scean of the accident. Both my husband and I described seeing the same bright white light and the warm feeling we both got memories of being somewhere that wasn't here on earth Ben describes it perfectly. Only I wasn't with my fav singer I was with my son he was playing with all these toys then the room filled with what I call angels....... I thought they were their to take us to the other side at first then I relizes it was just him going.... The light in the room became very very bright I could hear Brian laugh it was so bright I couldn't see I closed my eyes really tight and when I opened them the paramedics were on top of me giving me c, p,r I tried to close them again to get back to were I was with my son but no such luck.... Both my husband and I were left disabled I had my 2 kids in the car that night when a drunk drive hit us my 9 yr old son held on his little brother while he waited for help...... I know in my heart that such a place do exist cause I been their...... I believe god didn't leave me here to suffer and morn but because I have a job to finish here for him..... I believe when it's out turn to go Ben will be their waiting for you and Brian will be their for me.... God bless you and your daughter I truly know the pain you are going through....... But god and angels do exist.
