Two incidents that have happened in my life ....validated in a book by Betty Malz My Glimpse of Eternity.
1- prayed for God to show me what it was like where my baby was after his death. I was 22. I layed in the spare room bed praying while my other son was asleep in my bed. I cried till I was exhausted but DID NOT FALL ASLEEP but my eyes were closed and I had a vision....all the details will not be listed here for this moment, perhaps I will come back but one thing cannot be left out...I was outside my body after a struggle to stay alive and looked back at my body like it was a snotty tissue...nothing I wanted...and I laughed at how I struggled to stay in it. Then I was in a beautiful white gown, not like a heavy robe but it was beautiful and then colors seemed to appear over it and change. It reminded me of those white Christmas trees with colored lights that change the tree from blue to green to red and you almost can't decide which is prettiest. I said that in my vision. At that time I was a new Christian and was not acquainted with Revelations. A being asked me what I wanted and I thought of coconut but then remembering my dentures on earth...couldn't eat coconut. Before I could complete the thought I had coconut and was able to enjoy it without a problem. All this happened without speaking. Just thoughts to each other. The colors of lights came from nearby. I had not entered in yet, but I could see it. I believe my gown was white now, reflecting the foundations of the wall of the city of heaven from the light within.
21:19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every jewel; the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,
21:20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
and the coconut?
22:2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
found out later coconut is a fruit.
2- a few years later after a big big big fight with my first husband. I was crying in bed and trying to keep it low so he wouldn't start in on me again. I asked God within my heart where He was. I had my eyes open and saw on the ceiling fat noodle like puffy cheese puff letters wiggling like ALIVE in silvery gray "I will never leave you nor forsake you" I gasped and thought perhaps it was a reflection of something coming through my venetion blinds and the street light was transferring it to my ceiling. I did not want to blink for deep down, I knew it was the Lord and once I blinked I would not see it again. That is the hardest thing to NOT do. I eventually gave in and blinked and it was gone. The peace was not gone. I slept like a happy baby.
Now, a few years later, I read the book I mentioned in the beginning. I bought it again because it has been so many years and wanted to share with you an exerpt that blessed me. It backs up 2 very well.
Betty died for 28 minutes and spent time at the gates of heaven. She writes: The wall to my right was higher now and made of many colored multitiered stones. A light from the other side of the wall shone through a long row of amber colored gems several feet above my head." (by the way Topaz is the 9th foundation in the walls of heaven)
she later writes " The angel looked at me and communicated the thought: Would you like to go in and join them"
she chooses to go find her father whose voice she hears and as she decends back to the hospital.....
she writes "After my descent I slowed down and stopped. The sun's rays were in my eyes. There were dust particles in the light which suddenly changed to wavy letters about two inches high flashing before me like a ticker tape message. The letters seemed composed of translucent ivory, only fluid moving through the rays of sun. I was back in the hospital bed now and the letters stretched all the way from the window, past my bed and on into the room. They read: I am the ressurection and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. The words were so alive that they pulsated."
EXACTLY as I had described them as Alive and silvery she saw Ivory.......
I had shared this with many and it felt so good to see this in a book, I bought it again and Jim is reading it. I praise God for my experience more than ever. I didn't die for 28 minutes but in my despair He touched my pain and I was healed to sleep and feel His love in the situation.
Even if you don't get anything from this, I wanted to share. Someone has lost a loved one from this physical earthly home. That person is more alive than ever....somewhere else but more alive. Praisin His Name...juanita mae
