Wynonna Judd's Husband Heard a Voice Telling Him to Die 😨

Shawn Ryan Show

Wynonna Judd's husband describes a harrowing near-death experience where he heard a voice urging him to jump into a waterfall and surrender to death. He distinguishes between what he perceived as a divine struggle to survive and a demonic voice trying to convince him to let go, a battle that lasted through the night until morning.

Summary

The speaker recounts an intense personal crisis involving a visual hallucination of a raging waterfall and accompanying auditory experience. He describes a voice that repeatedly encouraged him to 'just fall asleep' and 'jump into the waterfall,' presenting surrender as an easy escape. The speaker interpreted this voice as malevolent rather than divine, describing it as something that promised to take him if he would only die. He emphasizes that the genuine divine element was the internal struggle itselfβ€”the difficult fight against the forces pulling him down. This battle persisted through extended periods of lost consciousness throughout the night, with the voice continuously repeating variations of 'just let go.' The speaker's account suggests he viewed his resistance and the struggle to maintain consciousness and life as the truly spiritual aspect of the experience, while the seductive voice encouraging death represented something fundamentally opposed to the divine.

And it was almost like a conversation . Someone said, "Just fall asleep. Go ahead, jump into the waterfall. Just go ahead." And I think, "This doesn't sound good. This sounds like a lie." I didn't feel like it was God. I felt like it was something else saying, "Just let it go, dude. Come on, it's easy." I felt like it was a wheel that led to hell. It was like, " Come on, just die and we'll take you." And it didn't seem like anything [0:30]…
