I shared this before, thought I would share this experience again. This happened to me, April 15, 2004. If I recall correctly.
1st off, I'm probably one of the biggest sinners I know of. I have no special gifts, nor insights. I've also had other experiences in my life, that to some. Would be hard to believe. But I experienced them, regardless.
----------------------
I dream't I was walking along a stone road many yrs ago. This road neandered up an incline. This paved road, was a travel route passing through single story adjoining stone houses.
An unknown man was walking at my right side. I was talking to him, although I hadn't seen his face. The man never looked my way or responded to my talking.
As we walked up this road. We came to a low spot. That kept us from seeing the flat courtyard that lay up ahead. We heard a woman wailing, but could not see the courtyard yet. We both stopped, I remarked "Isn't that the most mournfull cry you ever heard?"
The stranger said nothing, nor looked my way. But kept looking forward. We moved on up the rise and onto the open courtyard.
We paused at our end of the courtyard. We could see a small mound of dirt covered with grass at our 10:00 position. This mound of dirt offered a fig tree. For the residents of the community a bit to eat, as well as abit of shade from the Sun. A stone spring fed well was in the center of the courtyard.
Over below the fig tree. Sat a young woman dressed in filthy knotted rags. She was sitting in a lotus position, rocking back & forth sobbing uncontrolably. Off to her right, sat a little girl, maybe 6? or so yrs old. The little girl was filthy & clothed in dirty knotted rags.
The little girl was silently sitting there & holding what appeared to be an infant. Swaddled in filthly rags was well.
The stranger & I drew nearer. I stood in front of the little girl, the stranger in front of the sobbing woman. The stranger, said nothing. But looked down at the woman. His hands clasped behind his back. The woman, didn't see us there, as she sobbed.
I noticed the woman had leprocy. Her face was gashed open with rotting flesh. On her hands the ends of all of her fingers, were rotted off, showing bare bones.
I said, "Look, she's crying in pain, because of her leprocy"! The stranger said, nothing. But then leaned forward & put his right hand on the top of womans head.
In a second or two, the woman, became whole. Her filthy rags, became brilliant bright white[almost blinding to look at]. The little girl also became clean & her rags also turned bright white. As well as the swaddled infant. I was astounded, I yelled, you are just like "Jesus"!
The woman, stopped crying & rocking. Staring up at the strangers face. The stranger, then stood upright, clasping his hands behind his back again. The little girl stared intently at the stranger.
The woman started to cry again, a different kind of crying. this made me angry, as I felt the woman was ungratefull. The womans tears, as they rolled from her cheeks. Turned into gold flecks, as the flecks dropped onto her lap. They turned into coins.
I turned facing the stranger, in anger over the ungratefull woman. I started to yell, "Why is she crying!" The stranger turned facing me. Right then I knew who he was. Although I never seen him before. I felt unworthy to be in his presense. As I know my sins.
Uncontrolably, I started to yell his name over & over again. I couldn't stop. This stranger, was Jesus. He said, "She's crying because she can now hold her baby".
A small beam of light appeared between his eyes as he faced me. Instantly, I realized I knew nothing of this World. This understanding, was "Love".
I woke up, laying on my back in bed. It was daylight. I was yelling his name, "Jesus". I could not stop for about 45 seconds. The only part of my body, I could move was my head & eyes. This freaked me out, as I had no real control over my body.
After this short time span, I again gained full control of my body & quit chanting his name. I lay there in amazement, as to what just happened. Suddenly, a very warm flow, started from the top of my head & progressed slowly down towards my feet. As if I was laying on a beach in a slow tidal wave.
As soon as this warm wave reached the soles of my feet. I felt total understanding, peace & love. I've never felt that before or since.
But as of this day. I understand more clearly now.
