"My third "hear from" God; perhaps for you too"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I am not a person who receives visions and dreams often. In fact, my prayers
seem one-sided pleadings, without clear answers. (The only exception being
that if I ask for guidance and open the Word, guidance is there unless the
question is about something which God has said we may not know.
I have no Bible where I am living for the moment, however).

But apart from the Word of God, I get no obvious "response" to my prayers nor do I
have God obviously intruding on my life even when not praying. He is there, in
other words, but I do not sense His presence.

Three times, however, God made an "appearance" of one sort or another.

Once, He came visually and spoke to me, not giving guidance, just telling me
of His love and causing me to feel in in my heart. He appeared near noon, at
one PM on a bright cloudy day, in the clouds, with stars behind him shining in
the daytime. That will be 20 years ago in August of this year.

About ten years ago, another event occurred. I was taken in my vision to a horse
cart, where my nearly dead husband sat in the back seat. I was placed in the front
seat, to drive the two horses. The person putting me there seemed to be like a
"stage manager", who had escorted us out of a "theater" where people were still
laughing, talking, and rehearsing their lines. I was told to "drive". I did so, but
was taken up in the rapture suddenly, whisked faster than I could describe through
the ether, without fear, and in great happiness--but then returned to the horse cart
where I had to continue to drive. I am often fearful, but in that episode I had NO
fear even though I did not know my precise destination.

My third encounter came two nights ago. I was praying in bed in the middle of the
night. Jesus came and comforted me. He said I was in His protective hands, where
I would be safe, and that He would be coming for me soon. He did not say when, just
soon. I felt His love like a warm soft blanket over all of me....like "Lamb's wool". This
type of response to prayer is nearly unknown in my life, so it was wonderful and
supernatural.

Some of you may feel this last type of contact often; for me, it was noticeable because
it is so rare. Such contacts come only before something is about to change radically
in my life--a time of testing, of change. So I see a big change coming for me.

So I am reporting my rare vision, rare for me. Jesus said:
love Me, I love you, you are safe in My hands, I will be coming soon
to rescue you.

Oh Texas Sue ~~~

This is wonderful to wake up to!

Thank you

TY T/Sue, for sharing that post w/us.

I felt that blanket-type powerful visit from Jesus twice. The first time, I was in my grocery store shopping. As I looked on the store shelf for items on my grocery list...I suddenly Jesus' powerful hug, for which it felt I wasn't in the store.

Then the 2nd time, I was Christmas shopping at Kmart. I was looking for a certain kind of a unisex-type Christmas gift that would be part of a game we annually play at my Auntie & Uncle's place. When I again I felt that same powerful Jesus hug...for which He spoke these words to me, "These things you see are simply things you don't need." Therefore, seeing nothing that interested me, I left the store and drove home empty handed, but notso empty handed. B/c Jesus had given me the most wonderful Christmas gift of all--His hug.

BTW, my DSIL had broken her left ankle while out walking, which put a major damper on our Christmas...and we never made it to Auntie & Uncle's house.

so that is saying our lifetime.....Revival is already happening in America..Someone said in our church that the gospel will be preached around the world in 2010-2012 that is the markers and Isreal for HIS COMING..

Thank you Texas Sue for posting this beautiful message.
YES, HE WILL BE COMING FOR US SOON...WHEN? ONLY HE KNOWS...OUR JOB IS TO WATCH AND BE READY AND WARN OTHERS, AND ABOVE ALL BE IN THE WORD AND PRAYER...

This is what really authenticated her message. When Jesus came and stood behind me at the age of 19 (many years ago) His Presence was soft. very gemtle and the exact thought I had was "like Lamb's wool". I just want to be back in that same wonderful presence constantly and I am so eager for Jesus to come for us.

Oh sister T/Sue,
How wonderfull and comforting.
Our Lord is so kind and gentle.
His love for us just goes on and on.
Praise the Lord our Savior,
Star

Dear Star, as you know the Presence of the Lord is almost indescribable. The times that He has come into the room, He floods everything with LOVE, love that you can feel and almost taste. There is always that gentleness and goodness that is so awesome. Makes me think of the verse from Isaiah where it says, "a bruised reed He will not break". Very soft, warm and tender atmosphere and so much love whenever He is manifestedly present. Just thinking how wonderful it will be to actually LIVE in that atmosphere forever. Too wonderful for words.

Oh, Texas Sue, what a beautiful experience! I feel the Lord's presence in my heart, but never in a physical sense where I sense that He is standing next to me. I don't have rapture dreams, smell roses, or hear knocks. Wow, you guys are so lucky! But on second thought, maybe the reason the Lord doesn't manifest Himself to me like that is because He knows that it would startle me. But I would LOVE a rapture dream, though!

The closest I had to a rapture dream was that I dreamed that I went to the airport to meet my "fiance", and he looked like the pictures I've seen of Jesus, but in a suit. I'll never forget the feeling I felt in the dream when I hugged Him! I felt so much love from Him I never wanted to let Him go! When I woke up, I knew the fiance was Jesus, and I was sad that it was only a dream, because I wanted that feeling of being so loved to last forever!!

I just loved this post, Texas Sue, because I can relate to that lady who wrote it in the sense that she only felt God's love in fleeting moments, not on a continual basis. Oh, how I wish that I did! All my anxieties and fears would melt away, because "perfect love casts out fear." I missed out on so much love growing up not having siblings or family, so that's why Jesus love means so much to me.

Lisaleenie, there is a verse that says God is no respecter of persons (shows no partiality) so I am going to pray and ask for you to have a tangible experience of God's love flood over you and wash away every last smidgen of fear and that it never be allowed to touch you again. God will do that for you because He loves you so much. Can't wait for the victory report. !!!

Thank you so much, Texas Sue!! That would be so wonderful! That fiance dream was years ago, but I still remember the love. But I do need a fresh annointing of His love to wash over me.

I remember Joyce Meyer saying that the day the Lord manifested His love to her to where it reached her heart was the day where her life was changed forever. That's what I want. Because of the lack of love I had growing up, one day I felt the Lord tell me that I wouldn't know His love if it hit me in the face because I didn't know what love was. It would be so great if that could change.

Thanks for offering to pray that prayer for me, Texas Sue!!
