A Testimony

This a repeat of an earlier post. I realize people are sometimes uncomfortable sharing supernatural or spiritual experiences they have had, but I only tell this because I want people to know how real God is and how much He does loves you.

I have sleep apnea. I don’t know if you know what that is, but that’s where when you lay down on your back to sleep the muscles that hold up your soft palette at the back of your throat relax so much that the palette itself collapses downward and blocks your airway. In other words, you stop breathing. It is dangerous and can kill you.

However, one night before I realized how dangerous sleep apnea can be, I went to sleep one night and somehow must have gotten off my side and into a position that was not safe. I woke up suddenly and was in a different place.

I remember feeling a slight tinge of fear but was mostly confused, thinking where am I?? All around me was nothing but deep blackness until suddenly I could see this spiral of beautiful, puffy white clouds spiraling off into the distance. I did not want to look at the far distant end of the spiral because I had this sudden knowledge that if I looked at it, there would be no going back. Somehow I just knew that. Don’t know how, but I just did, but I was not given a choice. I had to look at the end of the spiral, and so I did.

Next, let me say that I had no physical sensation at all. I was fully awake, fully conscious, but there were no physical sensations. I had no awareness of a body.

To get back to where I was, as soon as I looked at the end of the spiral of clouds, I was in the other place, but this one was different. This beautiful, beautiful light was everywhere. It glistened and shone like nothing I have ever seen. But the light was alive. There was a massive intelligence or presence inside the light. Like nothing I have ever experienced.

It was so bright it almost hurt to look at it and the colors of the rainbow were moving through it constantly. It was so bright that I turned to look away, but again, I was not given a choice. I had to look at the light so I did.

When I turned to look at it again, suddenly it felt like somebody had taken me and thrown me as hard as they could up against a brick wall. There was this really hard boom, and I was back inside my body. Totally awake but back inside of my body going “What just happened to me.”

I laid there for a few minutes, thinking about what I had just seen and experienced. I moved around a little trying to get my bearings back and then decided the only thing it could have been was for a few minutes or less, because it happened so quickly, so very quickly, is I think I died! It is the only explanation I can think of.

I believe for a very few brief seconds, I was allowed to see some of the glory of the Living God. The light was beautiful beyond words. I wish everyone could have seen it. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.

The only reason I wanted to tell this is I hope it will reassure everyone that there really is life after death, and that God is more beautiful than any of my weak human words could ever express.

I pray that the living God Himself will bless your day and your whole life and that you can get to know Him better. He really does love you very, very much. God Bless You.

Hope!!

I hesitate to talk about this subject, but one night I think I died. I have mentioned this before in earlier posts on this blogsite. I suffer from obstructive sleep apnea which causes you to suddenly stop breathing and your heart will stop if you do not resume breathing. Before I knew anything about this condition, I believe I died. I was jerked awake suddenly in the middle of the night, fully conscious, wide awake. All I could see was a heavy dark blackness. I could not see my body. I remember feeling confused, thinking what is happening to me then the thought came over me, ‘Oh, I think I have died’.

I felt a tinge of fear then slowly a spiral of these beautiful puffy white clouds started to spiral off in the distance. I did not want to look at the end of the spiral because the knowledge came over me that if I did there would be no going back. But I was not given a choice; I had to look at the end of the spiral. And that’s when it happened instantaneously.

The glorious, beautiful, beautiful bright light. It was everywhere. It was blindingly, blindingly bright, and the colors of the rainbow were constantly moving through it. I’ve never seen light like that before and will never again until I reach the foot of my Lord’s throne on the other side of this life’s grave. It’s as if the very light itself was alive with energy and power.

I could not see God or His face, but I could sense somewhere in that light a massive, very massive, very, very massive intelligence. Like I said, I did not get to see His face. If I had I don’t think He would have let me come back. I tried to turn away from the light so bright it almost hurt to look at it, but I had no physical sensation at all and looking down could not see my body yet I was fully wide awake. I tried to turn my head away but again was not given a choice. I had to look at the light so I turned back to it.

Again instantaneously, it felt like somebody had slammed my full body up against a brick wall with a hard boom. I felt no pain just a large jolt of force, and I, well, I was back inside my body. I took a few deep breaths and tried to move, feeling somewhat stiff. I have no other conclusion to draw but that for a minute or two I died and was allowed to see only a brief glimpse of our God’s glory.

Many people have had similar experiences. I hope this can help you with your hope for a new life after your death if you stay loyal and faithful to our God and Christ’s commands. May God bless your day and PRAISE GOD

Dissipation (melting away)

Dissipation
(melting away)

My shell will dissipate
Allowed no longer
To participate
At this level

The real of me 
At last, 
will be allowed to see
My Lord,
God, finally
Will I with you be

To be lifted up 
On wings of bliss
O’ my soul
Of this I care not to,
Dare not to miss

Living in your light
Clarity, love & might
To know fully 
As I am fully known
All will be exposed
At last, your truth shown
By You, God,
To be eternally owned 
All this, from before my eyes
Will no longer be withheld!!

Heaven –not a Location

Heaven – Not a Location
(A Someone)

Written in holy lines
Inside an ancient guide
Are words that tell,
Almost sigh
Of another place
Heaven

For all who follow Christ
Loyally
We are most assuredly promised
Joyfully
Of this certain reward

For after death
All will exist on a different
Level
To our carnal senses, I know,
It seems most
Incredible
But it is genuine

However, consider
If not for the presence of
Our Creator/Lord
Heaven would be just
Another place of pain, struggle
Not as is written, 
Our great Reward

To me, heaven is not
A location
But a SOMEONE
GOD
Is the kingdom of heaven
The pearl of great value
So when Christ said
The kingdom of heaven is
At hand or
In your midst
He meant: ‘Here I AM
Heaven walking among you’!!

PRAISE GOD. HE IS EVERYTHING!
LORD OF LORDS & KING OF KINGS!

Encounter with the Light

This a repeat of a blog I have posted before on my site, but this experience was so dramatic I feel I should share it once again. I know I will never forget it.

For years now, I guess about 7 or 8, I have been wanting to talk about, tell, something that happened to me one night. I have only told family members about it since I’m not very good at standing up and talking in front of people or telling things to people. I guess I was afraid they wouldn’t believe me.

I have sleep apnea. I don’t know if you know what that is, but that’s where when you lay down on your back to sleep the muscles that hold up your soft palette at the back of your throat relax so much that the palette itself collapses downward and completely closes your airway. In other words, you stop breathing. It is dangerous and can kill you. I do not think I could sleep with one of the breathing machines they use so I sleep with the head of my bed raised and try to stay on my sides.

However, one night I went to sleep and somehow must have gotten off my side and into a position that was not safe. I woke up suddenly, fully awake and conscious, and was in a different place.

I remember feeling a slight tinge of fear but was mostly confused, thinking where am I?? All around me was nothing but deep blackness until suddenly I could see this spiral of beautiful, puffy white clouds spiraling off into the distance. I did not want to look at the far distant end of the spiral because I had this sudden knowledge that if I looked at it, there would be no going back. Somehow I just knew that. Don’t know how, but I just did, but I was not given a choice. I had to look at the end of the spiral, and so I did.

Next, let me say that I had no physical sensation at all. I was fully conscious, but there were no physical sensations. I had no awareness of a body.

A Bride

God has been so kind to me. I came into this world as an orphan, one of the lowest of the low with nothing, no mother, no father, no brother, no sister, no love. I have known lovelessness, a total vacuum of love. My earliest memories are only of fear, terror, despair and a sense of hopelessness. They said I was a sensitive child. Maybe it impacted me more than it would have someone else. I don’t know.

I had issues of trust and abandonment. Because of my background, even after I had learned of God’s love and His reward of Heaven, I still had trouble believing it and feeling secure in it.

The other morning right after I woke up, God gave me another vision, impression if you please. I know telling things like this makes some people uncomfortable, but they do happen. The closer you draw to God the closer He will draw to you. Anyway, in this one, I was dressed like a bride in a full long veil and long bridal gown. Christ was holding me by the hand and leading me up some stairs moving upward in this intensely, brilliant light. It stopped there.

I believe He gave me this impression to help reassure me that all believers, me and you if you choose, in Jesus Christ everywhere will be presented to the Living God as His pure bride, his church. An eternity of perfection and bliss awaits you if you so choose. May God bless your day. Praise God!!!
