I found myself looking down at my own body, but it wasn't me," he said, per the <a href="https://cbn.com/news/us/nothing-short-miracle-after-horrible-brain-injury-gabe-poirot-met-jesus-heaven" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Christian Broadcasting Network</a>.Describing what he saw, he revealed in previous conversations that Christ was 5ft 11in to 6ft tall with 'darker-toned skin.... close to Middle Eastern', medium-length hair with a slight curl pattern and he was approximately 33 years old.<figure><img src="https://resizer.ladbiblegroup.com/unsafe/rs:fit:1204:0:0:0/g:sm/q:70/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldS1pbWFnZXMuY29udGVudHN0YWNrLmNvbS92My9hc3NldHMvYmx0Y2Q3NGFjYzFkMGE5OWYzYS9ibHRlZDJhMDk2MDI0OWZiZjBiLzZhYzM4ODRjNTY0ZGU5NjEzMDQ3OWNlZC9HZXR0eUltYWdlcy0yMjgyMDQzNDA1LmpwZw.jpg"><figcaption>Gabe Poirot said he met Jesus at 20 (Getty Stock Images)</figcaption></figure>Gabe’s friend, John Michael, who was riding with him that day told the outlet: "He was lying unconscious on the ground. Eyes were closed; we're praying over him. Speaking over him like, 'Gabe, you're going to live. You're not going to die. You're going to live. You're not going to die.' Just, you know, over and over again."Gabe revealed of this prayer: "I witnessed his prayers. And I also knew in the midst of a moment that is so intense, I had no fear. By the time the ambulance had gotten there, honestly, I was suctioned up by light to this tunnel of light, suctioned me up out of there."After Gabe was in a ‘very, very critical’ state down on Earth, beyond that, he said he was being ‘suctioned up to an appointment with Him’.Gabe revealed: “It was like this city of pure glory, pure light, pure love. But then as the closer I got to the center of the city, He was - He was there waiting for me. Seeing Him changed everything."Speaking to Fox News' Saturday in America with Kayleigh McEnany just yesterday (4 October), Gabe said Jesus has been 'misrepresented', confessing that he's not the man he has been depicted.Gabe claimed: "Now, with every single person I meet, I tell them of the love of Christ and that he did it all for them. And he died and rose for again. And I love how, you know, all these other testimonies they didn't meet a female <a href="https://www.ladbible.com/news/world-news/roman-records-jesus-existence-uncovered-035240-20260621" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Jesus</a>, they didn't meet a soft or passive Jesus. Jesus is a man."And especially in America, he's been misrepresented. There are so many cultural things that present him as if he's some tolerant guy. That's not the Jesus I met, he's a lion. But he's not a lion angry against me, he's a lion angry for me. He's a mustang on my behalf. He did it all for me."He continued: "Pure fire. He was 5'11" like six feet, yet tall as eternity. Like an ocean of love yet his eyes were burning white and red at the same time. Talk about testosterone, like a mustang, I'm telling you. He's the lion of Juda and there's a roar within his voice. "The claim that Jesus was both 'angry' and displayed 'red' eyes is a shocking change from how he usually looks in imagery throughout history. But that's what Gabe said he saw of Christ.<div class="social-embed" contenteditable="false"><iframe width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/f-5mm5WNHUU?si=P3IvfmkwEWhrl7Y1"></iframe></div>Gabe said in his CBN interview that he could see 'the prayers of the saints, the sons and daughters of God’ from 'heaven's perspective’.He said of what he saw: “They were gathered up into this bowl, this golden bowl, every single one of them. And literally they are presented to the throne room of <a href="https://www.ladbible.com/news/expert-debunks-shroud-of-turin-jesus-099693-20260212" rel="noopener" target="_blank">heaven</a>, and all of <a href="https://www.ladbible.com/news/science/scientist-michael-guillen-explains-heaven-location-space-156430-20260122" rel="noopener" target="_blank">heaven</a> stands at attention because our prayers are the Father's priority. God delights in our prayers. He both cries with us and rejoices with us at the same time. It's... it was so beautiful of a picture."Gabe remained in a coma for 18 days until Ginger, a family friend, came to the hospital and prayed over him.It was like that moment spoke to Gabe from beyond the veil.Gabe said of his last moments with Jesus: "Closer to the end of my time with Him, these prayers formed a bridge on the Earth. I literally saw these bridges that were being formed. And sure enough, the bridges gathered. And then Jesus united himself with them, and they got bigger. And bigger and bigger. And as everyone was on the Earth, I saw the prayers of those like Ginger. I saw her praying over my body. I saw my parents and my family and my friends, and I saw those prayers go right into the heart of Christ – it was those prayers that I was actually sent back on.""When I woke up, I just felt so out of place," admitted Gabe, revealing that he felt almost foreign in his body.Gabe explained that he was released from hospital within days, with his doctor calling his healing a ‘miracle’.However, Gabe attributes it to Jesus, stating: "We are here on the credit of His grace. He has such an amazing plan for all of our lives, and people don't understand the amount of actually crazy situations the Lord has saved them from, and they have no idea.”<img src="https://sb.scorecardresearch.com/p?c1=2&c2=15593740&cv=2.0&cj=1" />

BankiFi’s Hartley on Banks Becoming the SME Gateway

Mainstream banks that fail to move beyond accounts and payments, he said, “risk losing Business Current Account market share, deposits and long term profitability”.That is a claim with a number attached. Hartley said BankiFi’s own research suggests that of the 800,000 new business current accounts opened in 2025, fewer than 40 per cent were with mainstream banks. It is the company’s figure rather than an independent one, and it is doing a fair amount of work in the argument.His presc
