I Saw God

 

Recently I was very sick, well actually I almost died because I had a very bad fever and chest infection. I was christened as a catholic, I believed, yes, but I wasn't a practicing catholic so no I never really went to church.

Last week I was in bed feeling so sick, and it just got worse as my head was throbbing and I was vomiting very badly, I also had a fever. I was also coughing so much and this went on for about 4 hours when I thought this is it, I am dying.

I just thought I want to die right now I want to give up. Then I took this huge deep breath, I think that was when I stopped breathing and my body was slowly shutting down, when I felt like I was traveling through a dark tunnel, I was traveling fast like flying.

Then all of a sudden I saw this light and it was so bright, the brightest light I have ever seen. I could see myself standing near the light when a hand came through the light and a man wearing a white long cloak had his hand and arm extended toward me. It was like he wanted me to take his hand and come with him. But I didn't take his hand, I could see myself crying and I was saying I believe, I believe, I believe.

The man had a beard and shoulder length hair, his skin was very white. I would say he must have been God or Jesus. He said to me "you are only human" and I have put you on earth for a reason. He said he will never go back to earth as he has been there before. He then pointed and said, "that is Earth" then pointed behind him and said "this is ETERNITY".

His hand was still extended and it appeared that he wanted me to take his hand but I didn't. Then all of a sudden I just jumped up in my bed and took in this deep breath. I felt so SHOCKED and couldn't believe what just happened to me.

To all who read this I can assure you that this was REAL, VERY VERY REAL. I went to hospital and was there for one week to recover. I never take drugs or drink alcohol, I am a 32 year old mum of two boys, and live in AUSTRALIA.

I believe that I was dying, and that I have met God or JESUS, and he offered to take me to heaven or gave me the chance to go back to earth. Obviously I chose earth, my life has changed now as I am so much more tolerant towards people and so much more caring towards others.

It happened to me to I have seen god, I was in my room when everything turns out in white and I saw him, he almost look the in the picture that we all have seen. Before when that happened, I saw him as well in a dream he saved me from an accident that I had in the dream. And he saved me on the next day from the accident that I actually was going to have. All my dreams are very surreal, (like in reality) and as well I have had dream with the devil. He is not a man he is a woman, with a super power. She was in the air, but she didn't have wings. She dresses in black.

I have seen god to, like Sarah from Australia, it changed my mind set ever since,
Around 2009 I had an experience where I was somewhere else I actually thought I was dreaming, I pinched myself and it hurt plus the conscious thinking and decision making made me believe I was awake and somewhere else so I carried on, any way I remember playing with this girl like two kids running around trying to catch each other just having fun but I didn't recognise her, and I even still wonder today who it was, but towards the end she kissed me like a peck on the lips and I was confused, and even said sorry I'm with someone, I then turn my head towards the right and low and behold there was what I could only call god my first reaction was (what the duck but with the f instead of the d!) as I've never believed, but a man with white hair down to his shoulders with a white beard in a white gown was looking at me, he didn't seem happy and pointed like to say out, then it felt like I was taken by the Collier of the back of my neck and pulled so hard backwards that my feet where out in front of me, it felt like I was in a worm hole traveling very fast and then all of a sudden a brilliant white light appeared it was the brightest whitest light you could imagine, then I felt as if I was being placed back down on to my bed and I remember saying that I didn't want to go back (ie earth) I wanted to stay and a female voice said down my left ear, soon, it's ok every thing will be fine, then as I woke up I felt this powerful mixed feelings of love joy happiness all the positive feelings you could imagine and I had to sit on the edge of my bed to take it all in and absorb everything that just happened.

Then in 2011 I had another weird thing happen where a ghost like man appeared in the corner of my bedroom and so I pushed my body up from the bed and looked at him, and he said a tsunami is coming! I was like what when and where and he just replied a tsunami is coming so I replied yeah when and where and he just repeated it while fading away, so I laid back down on my bed and went back to sleep. I woke up later and remembered what happened then told my girl friend what happened, then two weeks later the Japanese tsunami happened and well they are supposed to be rare events and well I've never been able to figure all this out as I'm not religious and never been to church if anything I've always been spiritual about life and everything, I just don't know what all this is about lol I saw this thread and thought I'd share it for the first time as I felt it was a good idea 👍🏻

I had a supernatural experience with the "One True God!" First, please don't insult the only God by claiming he is Allah; because this is an epic lie. Several other lies are that the church is in a physical building; this is an epic lie. And all denominations are lies; Jesus Christ is not of religion and religion is a manmade parasite to enslave, rape, and deceive humans for their own corrupted purposes. Another lie is people who claim they saw God's face and they have been in the heaven of God's throne; this has not happen since John the disciple. The bible clearly informs us that nobody has seen God except Jesus; this is talking about His face. From my supernatural encounter with the only God I can positively say that no human has been where God sits on His throne except John because humans are dirty, full of sin, and corrupted; if it was true that humans have been to God's throne in their filthy state then the bible is lying when God informs us that he is not able to live with us in our current corrupted state... The KJV Bible does not lie and God cannot lie because both are holy. I didn't know there was a God; I knew I was born of a woman, and sh*t happens after that. I didn't know religion and I didn't know if the devil was real. I just didn't know much about these issues so I didn't deny them but I didn't accept them either. I knew something was really wrong and I suspected I was being lied to by the time I was 37 years old in 2007. I became so sickened by liberals-goats-selfers-democratic people's immoral corrupted perverse behavior. I thought to myself, "This can't be it, this can't be life... I would rather die than be affiliated with these disgusting people." My supernatural encounter began as such: This mad concerned prompted me to search for the truth even though I had more barriers and the odds were against me because I had/have learning disabilities galore! In 2008 I researched for the truth by simply and dangerously entering every religion for a few months; the only religion I was not allowed to research was Muslimism at the time and later I would know why. So I went in and out of just about every religion and they were all liars; I would later find out that all of these religions went to the Kings table, took only 10% of God's holy truth, went back to their own filthy places, and embedded lies in to the word of God in order to suit their crooked desires, but for this these religions are cursed for changing God's word, it is written. Finally, in 2010 after kicking everybody out of my life (decent or not), it didn't matter to me - I wanted nothing to do with people! I went through a process of asking myself out loud all kinds of questions demanding somebody tell me the truth. I am not a smart person and yet I surpassed intelligent people in wisdom that the lies we are being told are absolute. My inside just knew the truth and I was unable to deny it, but why? Because it turns out that in our bellies lives a Holy Spirit; He to be precise, and He cannot lie. I was grossed out that there was anything as such in my belly; humans are deceived to believe it is something else called instincts but this is a lie too... Humans call illnesses like cancer, MS, etc., and calling demons aliens all to minimize the real truth and to deceive people that they are not cursed it's just human nature is what they wish for you to believe; utter BS! Don't mistaken these curses with other physical disabilities like blindness, Fibromyalgia, Neuropathy because these are for the glory of God. In February of 2011 I was in my apartment watching regular programs at 3:00 in the morning. Before I knew it and I had no idea what on earth had happened to me because I was utterly ignorant to the KJV Holy Bible. I was not a churchy person and will never be. I was not raised up in God so I didn't know He existed. Most importantly I did not believe in ghost or aliens; I somehow understood that anybody who did/does is like the blind leading the blind over a cliff; like just jump off now because you're doomed and you have been judged anyway unless you turn back. I was NOT sick or having a near death experience in the hospital. I WAS IN MY HOME wide awake! I didn't even recognize the light that came before me but the spirit in me knew who He was. It was a light of white that does not exist on earth. So it pulls me in and I was raptured in what I know now to be Jacob's ladder. The purpose for rapturing me up in through Jacob's ladder was because I was unholy, I didn't have my salvation yet, and I had destined myself to hell without knowing it. Not to mention when I was five I was raptured then and I took off; God had to chase me around and bring me back to earth. But I didn't remember this until my second rapture because I had to live my life, but I sure in the hell did not want to so I booked it the second I was raptured at five. When I was in Jacobs ladder the angels stopped me from moving to the left or to the right; I wasn't even allowed to move into the throne of God. So I saw God but I didn't see His face and I saw God in His Angel of the Lord formation. God intentionally tied my tongue down so I could not speak and yet this thing (Holy Spirit) that lives in my belly and God were talking so I knew the conversation; but I couldn't ask any mortal human questions... God just wanted nothing to do with me at all and ignored me completely. I just know I fought to speak and was unable because God willed it. So He the Holy Spirit living in my belly and God spoke with each other, I was told the future and my future... I was even in my new incorruptible body and did not recognize my earthly self. Now understand this witnessing that you may be lead to the light: In my incorruptible body I didn't know such thing as tears, pain, evil, and I didn't have knowledge/memory of the past or HUMANS THAT HAD CROSSED MY PATH ON EARTH INCLUDING FAMILY; this is the bloody truth. I was told many things that no human ought to know and I saw things that humans ought not see. This encounter was so complex, scary, and deep that I would not wish this even on my worse enemy. Even today it is strange and awful to me being in the knowledge that there is a being watching my every move; just so creepy, that is until you need help, rescued, or delivered from God's enemies. What seemed like a few minutes with the only God was actually three days on earth; once I started moving about the earth the second day I was able to speak. One person got freaked out because I had a glow on my face from being with God. I heard a voice saying to me that if I would bow down to him he would give me the world; it turned out that once the Angel of Lord arrived before me Satan who I didn't know existed also came on to the scene except he was in disguise mimicking God's formation of the Angel of the Lord, but through my belly I could not be deceived because Satan's non-formation was a light piss yellow. God and Satan both came to fight for my soul and because Satan and I had nothing in common in spite of my filthiness Satan did not know my heart at all so God won. I had no say in the matter only that who I really was behind closed doors through my walk with humans is what helped me get hidden from the devil, but you would be surprised how normal I was and overly excepted by people and now I am not normal or excepted by people; praise you Jesus. Once I was walking with God I did a real dumb thing; I attempted to teach God about His own creation. Why? Because I was but a child in a woman's body in the presence of God. I had discovered that this "new being" was new to earth so I thought, and with the mentality of a child in His holiness I did not want God to get lost or hurt by anybody so I was showing Him the ropes and how things worked on earth, but in the mist of this God just ignored me and continued to work with the Holy Spirit that lives in my belly. I thought God was listening, it felt like He was listening, but we are so self absorbed that I didn't see that He wasn't paying attention to me, yet for all I knew in my ignorance God was listening to me just like a terrible parent. He never mind me and allowed me to go on and on. Yet, in God's holy parenting He began to raise me up and train me for the first storm that is coming. I was taught how to repent, and I was put in a covenant with God; He instructed me to follow His commandments, statues, and ordinances... If I did I would receive the gifts He granted me. Today, I don't want those gifts and my fleshly desire is to become none existent; I don't wish to live in hell or with God; but, there is no third option. Once God left my presence I was a new creation but still mortal. He had refined me by His fire and it hurt worse than physical surgery. If I had known that being refined by God's fire hurt this much I would have told God to screw Himself. I became suicidal, even more depressed, and I became so angry because I had knowledge and wisdom that I don't care to have. I thought I was only agreeing to being saved from going to hell. It turned out that my life was no longer mine and my old self did not exist any longer. I am even more sensitive than ever now, yet passionately angry; I hold within me characteristics of those who came before me and God Himself... Yet an improved me, but I don't know why these characteristics had been instilled in me. All they do is cause me to get angry at injustice. It had/has been impossible to return to my old self; I no longer have the caliber to do so and if I make a mistake I hold the characteristics of King David in me so I am good, no worries! The meaning of life is salvation by grace and redemption by faith. We were created for God so He may have a family and live with us in our incorruptible bodies. Forget yourself and all of your accomplishments since you are not even a spec of dirt as long as you disobey God, His instructions, and wisdom. There is no such thing as unbelievers of the One True God (Revelation 6:15-17); these people are liars and deny God so they may live in their filth, immoral, and perverse sexual desires. You will lose! So to end my experience with a "BANG", no pun intended; I am a true Israelite from the tribe of Judah returned to the olive branch; but had no idea that I was the original and this is why I was not allowed to research Muslimism; as they wish to throw my kind into the sea... Radical or not these people are not peaceful people. In conclusion, I don't care if you believe me or not because a wise person knows your ignorance will not change the truth; counterfeits, liars, and deception never survives in the end of their race. Good luck with following idiots. I have been getting trained and being raised up by the One True God since I walked with Him three days. I am not like what you would expect a righteous person ought to be. The word of God is so corrupted that God will send someone to restore it BEFORE the tribulation so that He may take His own home because we are not destined for His wrath in the tribulation once the church age is complete. We are going home soon just not in 2017.

Oh brother. Don't worry Yishair, you're not the only one rolling your eyes at this blind faith and interpretation in the context of one's very narrow religious view.

I've had OBEs (lucid dreams from a waking state) for a good part of my life and know for a fact that they were nothing but very realistic conscious trips into my mind after countless experiments (people fail to realize how powerful our minds are). I've wept on my knees at blinding, all-loving golden light only to wake up and understand that I had simply bathed in my own love to its full, unhindered intensity, given our hyper-emotional state when dreaming, lucid or not.

I'm not saying there isn't more to what we know, as quantum mechanics, for example, can demonstrate, but to take some old translated stories (which were apparently hand-chosen by men among a dozen scripts long ago for the purpose of controlling their people the same way our government controls us today), and treat them as truth above all else is just naive. Oh but I suppose this is the devil speaking through me, the same way he buries dinosaur fossils to mislead us all... Oh wait, I guess that means that petrification isn't real, and mud doesn't turn to sedimentary rock.

Either way, I suppose it's easier to believe in something than to live without answers.

To Yashair: What do you put your faith in my friend, is your faith in science. I have seen God work in my life, tangibly. I have all the historical proof that I need to believe that Jesus was the Son of God, born from a vigin and died on the cross at Calvary and God raised Him to life on the third day. Many of todays leading scientist are turning away from the popularity of evolution and boldly stating that there had to be a Creator. If you like to read and you are not anti-faith, get the book "A case for Christ. It was written by Lee Strobel a world renowned investigative reporter for the New York times. He is the person that cracked the Son of Sam murder case-not the cops. He was known all over the world as a reporter that only believed what he could see and touch-he had to have tangible evidence to believe in something. One Sunday his wife came home and was changed. He said what has happened. She stated that she had been reborn and had given her life to Christ. Lee thought it was just another phase she was going through but her Christian life grew stronger. Being the hard nosed investigative reporter tha he was, he went on a 5 year investigation of the Bible of Jesus and his life, death and resurrection. He interviewed the leading authoities in every major religion, athiest, he attended Chritian and atheist debates (at one debate between a leading atheit and a Theologian 300 people gave their lives to Christ due to the outcome of the debate). At the end of his investigation the evidence was overwhelming and he knew that he could prove in any court in the world that Christ was who He said He was and Lee had no choice but to make Christ the Lord and Master of his life. Read the book and decide for yourself. Something has made you bitter and you have hardened your heart towards the the Loving God that created you. Get a Bible and actually read it, get Lee Strobels book and read it-see for yourself.

I saw a light.

I have recently had an experience that I want to share.

My Gran was very ill with cancer, she was also 82 years old. The family had been told that she did not have long left and it would be a matter of days.

I went to the hospital to join my Mother, Uncle and Aunt. We took turns to sit with her 24 hours a day in her final days. I was with her on the night that she died. I loved her very much, as we all did. She was well liked and respected in the local community and was invloved in the Church. I had no proir experience with anyone who was dying, but I felt strongly that I should be with her.

On her last day, when there were three people in the room, I really felt like there were more people, I also felt a sense of comfort. As my Gran died I felt sad that she was leaving, but I was very calm and not scared as I had expected.

About five minutes after she had died I saw a light next to my uncle. It was gold coloured and quite bright, it slowly grew smaller then disappeard. My Mother has gone to Church for a long time and she enjoys being invloved with the church. I have not willingly gone to Church for 20 years since I was a child, I had found it hard to have any faith. After that night, I now feel reassured that there is life after death and I might even start going to Church.

Has anyone witnesses anything similiar? Did I imagine the light?

If you say that you had some sort of super-natural experience, trying to get others to believe you is ridiculous, no matter how self frustrating it would be. There's a danger in anyone who believes that someone talked to a pseudo-scientific being, because denying scientific tangible evidence and calling someone who is willing to accept new ideas, a scientist, closed minded, means that you do not understand what open mindedness is, and are easily persuaded. Also, that means you are highly biased, extremely closed minded, hard to reach, and stubborn.

I find it strange how people look into a book written thousands of years ago as something to prove something tangible wrong. That's why people deny evolution when it can be proved with carbon dating, and they deny the world is billions of years old, when that too, is tangible evidence. If you don't want to look at tangible reasoning and proof, you can look at a dinosuar bone, carbon date it, and scientifically prove its 150million years old.

I also find it strange how some one who believes in some pseudo supernatural concept, trys to persuade me there right. When I say, I will accept your story once you give me tangible evidence. Then I am called closed minded. That is not how the world works, and in a court of law, you would be laughed at and discharged.

If I have tangible proof that a person was doing drugs, and this proof was acquired threw blood tests, him saying he just didn't take it, and claiming that the drugs got in his blood stream in another way is rid and not how the world works.

It seems that no matter what tangible proof I can give you, you will always be write. Whatever. Then your just un-manageable. If you want to put scientific logic, reasoning and tangible proof to the side, proof that is proof that can be seen just threw observation, for example you can see for yourself waht evolution is threw breeding horses--but if you want to put that to the side and just look at the bible, if god gave us freewill, why can't two people who love eachother marry (homosexual). Ooo I get it, it's freewill, but it's only what he says you can do. Theres no reason why masturbation is wrong, and threw tangible evidence, evidence that you can see with your eyes, it is natural and good for your health, but hmmm. I guess god doesn't want you to do that either. He seems to not know a lot about the reality in which we exist.

Lost1...this is for you.

You seem to be searching for answers but you are not finding them... Instead you are going in circles...

Ask yourself the questions.

Am I leading a good life?
Do I treat people well?
Am I honest with people?
Do I give respect to people?
Do I do good deeds... So that Allah / GOD will be pleased with me?

Or am I doing bad things I should not be doing?
That go against Allah / God's commandments?

I hope that you find guidance.

If you seek the truth... Then quietly in silence... Whilst alone sit and pray to Allah / God.
He answers all prayers that are done sincerely to him.
He will lead you to where you need to go.
May be you need to look at another religion... Just think about it!

Dear All,

Allah / God has NO image... As he is everywhere, he is the unseen, the most powerful and the most merciful.

Most of the prophets never even got to see Allah / God... Except I believe Moses... And even then he was unable to look at Allah / God because of his glory.

Allah/ God has created angels and we have one with us all the time... Some like to call them our guardian angels as they are with us to protect us from harm by Allah / God's command.

The angels are created from pure white light (and they do not have a gender as such as they are not human)...

So Natalie your thinking is correct.

Though most of Allah's / God's angels have male names like Gabriel, Michael.

But remember it is not Angels who save us... They only obey Allah/ God.

So if you believe an angel has helped you it is because Allah / God commanded it to do so.

As Angels do not have free will.

Do not be tricked by Satan (i.e. Devil)...as he plays with our minds and hearts.
Lest you be lead astray.

How come you said: "Last week I was in bed feeling so sick" and after a while "I went to hospital and was there for one week to recover."
And after that, you wrote that your life has changed and you're so much more tolerant towards people... You came out from the hospital like 10 minutes ago and you're already writing this?
Just had to say this out loud, since I'm so bored of people who just create stories and then laugh at peoples comments.

I think maybe you dream had some meaning, like you should intrpret it. For example you said you were crying in your dream. I believe I believe, have you been saved confessing that Christ is you lord and savior. By that I mean, saying I belieeve Christ is my lord and savior, I believ he died for my sins and God rose him from the dead. The fact that in your dream, he reached his hand to you and you didn't take hold of his hand. Maybe it means he wants to save you, but you need to reach out and take his hand and confess with your mouth and believe in your heart. Its in the bible. Its in the bible that only if you are born again will you be saved. John 3:3 in reply Jesus declared. I tell you the truth, no one can see the kindom og god unlesshe is born again. Read john 3:3 and 3:14through18...Im just telling you to look into your dream ask god to give you deep revulation to what it ment. God bless and remember Jesus love you... Cara

I was on holiday in Bulgaria.
I was 8 years old at the time. Playing in the sea, not even up to my knees. With my sister.

Then the sea dragged us both back, I went further out than my sister. The sea was so rough I was trying to swim but waves washed over my face, I couldn't breath. When I went under It seemd as forever, it sounded as people we're singing, making it relaxing. It didn't fase me, that I was drowning.

Next thing I knew there was a light. A bright one.

A man in gold/white robes, and a stick. White hair, longish white beard too. He was smiling at me with his hand out, as if I should have gone to him. Many people were beside him, smiling at me.

I got told no one could get me, but my dad. He got me. Life guards said the sea was too rough to even get close to me. My parents said it was if my dad ran on water.

I always belived in God, now I know for sure he's real.

why do you think of god do you know?
Because god be it male or female what ever you think, what ever your cast he or she is the only one who really loves you & all, the crap we did is forgiven we eat food and why because there is taste you can't enplane really how much you love some one to scratch your back why is so much pleasure there? God is trying to enplane us what bad what's good look around it is so beautiful love god for god loves you a lot no more can I say yes I saw him/her. You do you hear him every day but? You give exegesis so do I

I, too have seen God. It was in Galveston, TX. As far as we had driven, we should have been in the middle of the ocean. Everything seemed so surreal. It got very foggy. I was with a friend. It was 2 am and the place was deserted. We saw a flashing light in the fog and stopped and got out of the car. My friend walked off somewhere and I climbed a hill that appeared to be next to my car. All of the sudden, an immense feeling of terror followed by the warmest most intimate feeling I have ever fealt came over me. I immediately fell to my knees and began weeping. I looked up and saw a shadowy figure standing over me. Its size was tremendous. It did not speak but put words in my head, then slapped me across the face. I felt it physically slap me and when its hand hit my cheek, it felt like it turned to sand. Just like that it was gone and ever since that experience life has changed for me in so many ways. I can't really even try to describe the ways in which it has changed. The most amazing thing abotu that TRUE story, is that two nights before I woke up in jail beat up with a broken jaw after blacking out drinking jagermeister. The instant the hand hit me, my jaw was healed. My friend who was with me and had wandered off spoke to me of a very similar experience that happened to him. I assure everyone that God is very real and the mysteries of the universe are much more complex than we tend to believe. Keep the faith.

hello there. I'm a 24 year old male and I have two experiences with God. One time when I was a little boy, I almost drowned. Right before I was rescued, I began to see an all white light. Also, I once had a dream of either God or Jesus. He had a white beard, white hair and his skin was pure white crazy huh?

I am not a very spritual person. I don't go to church and I have HUGE issues with the idea of blind faith. I am not an athiest, but I am a skeptic.

However, having said that, I have genuinely experienced an encounter with god.

There was no white beard, or gold anything. I was in bed following an operation and he stood on my left hand side. I was in pain and alone. It was not a dream and he did not say a word. He put one hand on my forehead and the other on my upper left arm. Not only could I see him, but I could feel him holding me. It was a unique and comforting experience. One that I will never forget.

I am sorry to say though, that while the figure was male, he was unidentifiable. My interpretation of this is that we shouldn't build up an image of what religous figure should look like. I'm not going to say that I saw Jesus as such, because so many religions conflict about the concept of what god is. All I know is that I was visited. I could have been a guardian angle, it could have been God.

I didn't seek god, I didn't have to try, but when I was alone and in deep need of support, somebody came to my side to comfort me.

I would never normally push my beliefs at anybody, but I feel that I have the obligation to share what I saw.

Sincerely,

Natalie

My story is not as epic as some of yours, but for me it changed my life and actions. I knew there was God, Jesus, and the holy spirit, but like many at times the devil would tell me don't believe that, you can't see him, its all man made, have fun live in darkness, life is to short, so for many years he would get me off the path, and it really made me miss out on the blessings that God wanted to give me. At that time in my life the bible was to confusing or so the devil would trick me to think. But God was speaking to me, my ears were just shut. As I am sure some of you could be doing now, so let me stop rambling, this day changed my life and thoughts.

My Mom got cancer, lung the worst, smoking does kill believe me, if you smoke please stop! Anyways she was told she had 5 months to live, She had a great relationship with Jesus, so she was scared but strong in her faith, so she passes: (, and that Sunday at church with my family the pastor asks people to come up to get saved, but he also added for the first time that he would be praying to the holy spirit and if you wanted to join him to come up. So the four of us go up, I am 37 or so at this time a few years ago, my Dad is 62, my 2 nephews are 16 and 14. So the pastor is praying the church is rocking with the spirit, and I ask Jesus to please let me know my Mom is in heaven with him, so I get a dream that shows my Mom standing with a bright white cloud it seemed just kind of wrapped around her, God gave me what I wanted to know, but like a moron I ask God again, was that my Mom and it was so clear that I have no idea why I asked, and with a jolt he said why are you so not believing, what more must I do, and he then showed my Mom who loved to play softball hitting a ball and skipping to 1st base, then the vision was gone. Ok I can't lie happy but freaked out, was that real, is my mind playing tricks on me, I have to tell my family, but wait were all so fragile, maybe they will think I am crazy, we get to the car and I can't hold back. I said to my family I saw Mom in a dream and she had short Hair, before I could tell the story my dad CUTS ME OFF, AND SAYS, she had it in a pony tail, So I think to myself ok lucky guess and as I almost tell the rest of the story my oldest nephew says It was strange I saw grandma playing softball, so here you have 3 people and only I know my vision and with out telling the story they told it for me, I knew right there that never again will I ever think or let the devil try to confuse me into thinking God is not real, look around us the world is made by the greatest artist ever, and the more I read the bible the more God gives me answers, you must read it's so important. And you people that try to play conclusion reporter of people's dreams how can you, because God made us in his likeness, and to be honest God can be anything he wants, anything, so these dreams you can't really say for sure what it was, and saying that the devil was leading her to the fire, not sure on that because everyone will stnd before God 1st. So how can the devil be trying to lead them to the fire already, THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE JUDGED BY GOD. Lucky for us God is amazing, to send us Jesus the perfect lamb for the worlds sacrifice, no other man was without sin so he had to die, we should all trust in what the bible says, and if your not reading it, your answers to every question is there, he did not create us to destroy, but to have a loving relationship, and forget everything else just pray to him right now and have that special talk, he loves us all. And if your not sure if he's real ask him to come into your life, And if your saved right now and not feeling him try this transform your mind by reading the bible daily, that will transform your thoughts, and that will change your actions that might help you get Gods blessings. And have him expose more to you, think about all in the bible how the most random people were used to spread Gods wishes, were with the master never be scared, This is a fight every minute, stay strong. And for you and your family this is for the KINGDOM, everlasting life, I can't wait to see it. Thank you all for your stories and God bless you.

Well,I had a vision of God once. Like you said He had a white beard and hair. He had in His right hand a sceptre of gold. His crown had numerous gems in it and it wasn't exactly on His head but rather on His forehead. He didn't say anything to me. I was never the same person since that vision.

Certainly if it had been your time to go. You would have went. I believe when its your time to go. Its your time to go.

And so as was said to you, ' I put you on Earth for a reason.'

in addition to that mentioned and in more relevance, how is one able to distiguish the difference between gods message and the devils work. I am someone who tries to remain as open minded as possible and seeks guidance in the most varied of forms, I feel myself being told to do and not to do certain things, convincing myself it maybe god but really acknowledging its not and I don't know where its comming from. A while ago I received advice and was told just to try and listen to god, just take note of the things around me, god may not speak to me directly or I may not realise it but just be more aware and I try to do that. Sometimes I interpret things or allow certain feelings to be pin pointed to that of gods direction and I know its not but then what happends when god really is trying to tell me something, make me more aware and I disgard it because I have known to be lead by my own misconceptions? I don't think I can tell the difference between my intution, paranoia, gods message or the devils manipulation. [please read my message below also.] in the past I have often battled with myself in terms of personal problems and my thought process and its ability to make me feel as though I am going crazy, I don't know if this is the devils work and his way to stop me pursing certain goals that would distrupt his plans but since straying from god I feel as though the lord has taken away that peace within my mind that enabled to feel normal, and slowly I'm going backwards. Plus stressing about it only makes things worse but I feel like I'm becoming the same mentally unstable person I use to see myself as, until one day I realised how I wasn't like that any more, until I strayed from god and noticed myself fading away. This isn't enough to make me just start praying as though there is no problem, I can't do that I have to find what is preventing my relationship from god, I wish we could just talk so he could tell me why he is and does what he does, the bible isn't enough it may be all I have but I don't know the words to ask the questions for the answers I need to know!

(im 19 years of age- didn't know where to slot it so put it here) in terms of experiences, although no where near as detailed and complex as others was the feeling I got in my when I got saved, the undescrible build up of? I felt. Only visting someones elses church and not really understanding much about it until after I believe made the feeling more than just created in my mind. The time also when I was in church and thinking about issues weighing on my mind when the service was stopped and and man came up speaking about how someone in here needed help and guidance and they needed to come to the front now, I was physically pulled out my seat by an unidentifiable force, didn't voluntarily get up, I only felt in control of my body once in the isle an near the front of the alter, I think I knew I needed to get up but being so paranoid of what others may think I didn't permit it myself, and don't know if the next one counts as an experience but since wearing contact lenses for years I had reached the point where they had damaged my eyes, having gone to the hospital one day I was told to stop wearing them, something I had decided to ignore as I went to sleep that night thinking about how I could not possibly stop wearing them due to my own insecurities, having told nobody apart from my boss at work about my vist becuase I needed to miss work, the next day I woke up to a text message from one of my two christains friends saying, he had the craziest dream last night that I was blind. And was being led by two men he didn't know. He came over and asked me what had happened but I don't remeber what he said I told him. This was a while back. Anyway I believe it to more of a "coincidence" that the day I am told such information which I chose to ignore, a friend dreams I am blind, I think god told him because I would have interpreteed the dream as just paranoia. I do believe god has had impact in my life but...

I am somebody who has struggled with my faith for a very long time now. I was christend as a baby and went to sunday school throughout my childhood and then became distant in my early teens. Later on (few years) I became more concious of my religion and my need to change, I also felt I lived by gods influence but found it hard to dedicate my life to being a proper christian. I am very on and off with my faith, I have never doubted gods existance but found it hard to detacth myself from the earthly pleasures that could diter me from being closer to god. Having become better at this as time went on I began to see slight change within my life, I began attending church for a few months and was conciously making an effort to live better and incorporate god and the appropriate way of living into my life more. Thing is I have been through quite abit in my life and when things seems to beter I and suddenly go back worse I get upset, I feel as though god is not with and because my mind can't comprehend his reasons for allowing me to feel this way I shut him out. I understand that in order to grow I have to overcome and in times of dispair I should be closer to god then ever before but I find it so hard to do this.

I watch people around me, old friends, people who have such amazing relationships with god, that seem to be apart of him so easily and it hurts to know that I have been trying for so long and feel I'm getting no where. People who have not been particularly good or seemed to have no conection with him whatso eva have just grown immensely and even helped me on my journey, I just feel like I'm not getting anywhere.

I no I can be lazy, and very impatient but I have gotten to a point where I have grown apart from god in the past 5 months and it really bothers me. I'm one of those people who benefits a lot of a push or encouragement, reassurance and just 2 know I have people who can help but the two main friend I have who have helped me I feel have kind of drifted from me, anytime I approach the situation of seeking advice it almost as if it gets made unable to happen. I feel all the progress and difference god was making in my life is unwinding, I feel like I'm regressing (fink that the word- going back anyway) like everything he dun is being taken away because I'm not as close to him anymore. I can't remember what event started this distance between me and god but it lead me to be put off by what I see as him being a dictator who is jus allowing all these bad things to happen, I know I sound like a narrow minded non-believer, I got past this point but I feel like I'm going back. I cnt get bk to how I was with god until I feel as though I understand why I feel like I'm being left to struggle, why many people are, my mind can't comprehend the sick things I'm realising everyday and although at the hands of the devil, god still permits them. I don't mean to offend anyone, and the ting is I know I still love god and want to get back on track and will eventually but thefact that I'm not at is what is bothering me, I don't even pray anymore I don't feel comfortable doing so, I feel like the devil is taking advantage of the fact as well. Anytime I try to seek some kind of comfort in the fact tat god might be still on my side, I gets elimintaed by the occurance of something else, I really don't know what to do anymore, sorry for the irrelevance of this being to do with experieces. (sorry about punctation and stuff, I typed this pretty quickly)

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

This means the devil can appear to be anything that his followers OR future victims need to see to be deceived

You said He said he will never go back to earth as he has been there before

The bible tells us god will return to the earth and live amongst his people once the antichrist and the wicked are dealt with. If that being of light was god then god Just lied to you when he said I'm never going back to earth. And as we know the lord thy god can not lie. Brother that was the devil himself trying get you to take his hand and pull you straight down into hell.

If you cross over don't you ever, never go anywhere with any being. The lord thy god knows his sheep he ain't going to set there and tell you you gotta take my hand or please walk this way into heaven. God is all powerful when you die he won't have to grab you or say this way to heaven you will already be there.

I've also heard story's of people that died and said a being of light they thought was god took em by the hand and it started geting dark he was trying to lead them into the fire. Obviously Sarah you are not saved if this is happening to you. Don't believe none of that once saved always saved that's not bible doctrine that's mans doctrine. And man does it to his own destruction

This is an amazing experience! I'm glad you posted it. I have had some spiritual experiences and yet I still have a hard time having faith through everything so it's nice to be reminded of Him.

Usually I have dreams of the end times, and in my most recent one I saw Jesus and God on a very white, bright cloud. The interesting thing was that God appeared in the form of a large white lion next to Jesus. It was pretty cool!

Thanks for sharing this experience!

Thank you for your story. I had a similar experience only I was not sick physically. I did not see God in the human form or go to the entrance of eternity but my experience was very real. I believe you saw God when you almost passed from this world to the next. I glad you decided to stay here for awhile longer for your children. God Bless You!
