Encouragement

The date is Sept 21/2007, I was feeling somewhat empty and down as I have been going through a difficult time, for what feels like forever. I also quit smoking on Sep19th/2007.
I was feeling mentally exhausted so I decided to throw myself on my bed, even though I had no desire to sleep. I looked over at the time and recall it being 5:30pm. I began to talk to God and said, “Lord please give me one giant cigarette?”

Following my extremely short conversation with God, I felt as though I was swooped out of my body! Within a flash I was out of my body, however I did not see my body lying on my bed, as I knew all of me was gone and whatever was left behind was just my flesh. The very moment I was removed from my body I was extremely happy. This was soothing as well as, such a wonderful feeling of peace that came over me. This was the greatest feeling I had ever felt! I knew exactly who I was, I also felt myself walking, as well as hearing myself talking, although I never did see myself.
The very second I was swooped out I recall being ecstatic and laughing; I also knew I was with Jesus. He was standing directly in front of me on my arrival wearing, the most wonderful magnificent smile. I knew this about His smile even though I don't recall seeing His face. Although I did not see His body I knew He was in human form and we began walking hand in hand. None of those things (bodies etc...) mattered to me, as I was not thinking about anything other than who I was with.

I never thought about myself having another life outside of what was taking place. We were talking so much and I recall every word of our conversation being extremely vivid. I was so excited that I was walking and talking to the King of Kings; my precious Lord, who was smiling throughout our whole conversation. We were walking and talking, laughing and walking more however, I knew we were not in Heaven. I also remember thinking, “WOW Jesus and I! I have so many questions and so many answers He is given me, which I cannot wait to share with the others.” Even though, at that time I had no idea who the “others” were. I was madly deeply in love with the Lord and all I wanted was so much more of Him.

I had this unexplainable feeling of peace. I was completely satisfied; not wanting or needing for anything else, other than what I had with Him.
It was dark and spooky outside and looked something like a ghost town. There was music playing, it was a southern Gospel song which I loved. I was singing along with it, I was so happy; every time the song finished I asked Jesus if I could listen to it again? He had it play repeatedly for me, as He knew how much I loved it. At that moment I remembered every word of the song, while singing my heart out, with Jesus holding my hand and smiling. Every time a particular verse of the song was playing, the Lord continued to say “Listen Lisa, listen to this part." I wanted it to never stop playing, and it never did.

As we continued to walk we went into something that resembled an abandoned apartment building. We went into one of the apartments; which had no furniture and also looked rundown. We sat on the floor, which was hardwood; and there were three others sitting with us; all of us sitting in a half circle. The Lord spoke, then I spoke, and the person sitting on the other side of the Lord had a great big smile on their face; the person next to them looked confused, although they wanted to know more about Jesus. The person sitting on my left (as Jesus was on my right) became very angry; I recall his hair was slightly long and dark. With his anger he began to speak aloud saying, “Who does He think He is?” He said more, however I don't recall what it was; but I do recall becoming very angry myself and yelling at him saying, “Do you not know who He is!? Can you not tell?” I said much more as I was so hurt because of the love that I had for the Lord. I got up from the floor and walked away, however when I looked back at them my heart melted as Jesus was still sitting there with such beauty and radiance. I looked at the Lord and said, “Why?” The Lord looked back at me and said, “Lisa, not everyone is going to believe.” I felt so sad for Him and I wanted to take His pain away. He continued to speak to me, although I do not believe it was meant for me to remember.

Suddenly my phone rang and it was my mother, the first thing I recall saying was, “What time is it mom?” I also said that I had to get off the phone because I was with the Lord and I was desperate to go back with the Lord! I lied on my bed and prayed for the Lord to bring me back however, that did not happen. I spent the very best hour and a half that I have ever spent in my entire life, with my Lord and Saviour on Sep 21/2007.

I did remember every spoken word while I was with Him; however all I can share are the words He has allowed me to write. The Lord also removed the urge from me to ever smoke again.
I love you 4ever & eternity, my beautiful Lord and Saviour.
