PRAISE JESUS
THE tURNING POINT…
I didn’t always believe in God. I was always curious though. I always wondered if there was a God. I didn’t deny his existence but I also didn’t acknowledge his existence. It wasn’t until the summer of 2023 where I had an experience that ultimately led me to the truth. I have lucid dreams often. A lucid dream is a dream that feels like real life. While you are in a lucid dream you are aware that it is a dream. In the summer of 2023, I had a lucid dream like no other. While I was in the lucid dream I asked God to reveal himself to me. When I asked God to reveal himself to me, I saw Jesus Christ. When I saw him, it was the scariest but yet most peaceful feeling I have ever felt. It felt as if my chest opened and I started gravitating towards Jesus. When I came face to face with Jesus, I don’t know why but I kneeled before him. He seemed mad at me. It was the type of mad a father has towards his son. I could tell he was mad at me, but I could also tell that he loved me. In the most Godly voice you can imagine, He looked at me and said “In the name of Jesus, I condemn you.” Right after he said that, he struck me in the heart. I don’t know what he struck me with, but I felt this energy beam through my heart. This left me with a burning sensation in my heart. It was not painful though. It was a soothing burning sensation. I awoke with this burning sensation that I felt in the dream. I was freaking out because I didn’t understand what had just happened. I felt the burning sensation in my heart throughout the whole day. I did some research and I stumbled upon the bible verse Luke 24:32. This verse reads “And they said to each other ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?’” Two followers of Jesus were describing how they felt after an encounter they had with Jesus while traveling to a village called Emmaus. This burning heart signifies a spiritual awakening after an encounter with the Holy Spirit. I surely was awoken after this experience because it ultimately led me to the truth. Because of this experience I started to seek God. While seeking God, I found that his teachings and the fact that Jesus rose from the dead on the 3rd day after being crucified, in my humble opinion makes Jesus Christ extremely reliable. And honestly God’s teachings about our way of living went against my lifestyle. When following God, I realized that we have to humble ourselves and while we may do good, we have also sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So if you’re still reading this, repent and put your faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ because he died for not only me, but for you as well because he knew we were sinners, so he sacrificed himself to pay our wage of sin so that we may have eternal life and spend eternity in the presence of God. I love you, and God bless you
