It was the late spring of 1974, when I was eight years of age. I had recently rolled in from playing baseball and strolled into my room to peruse my four parts in the book of St. John. I concluded I planned to peruse it as fast as could really be expected, so I could return outside and play — I was not searching for any profound disclosure. I set down on my bed with my Children's Living Bible set up on my chest. When my head hit the cushion it worked out; the bed, my room, and, surprisingly, my body vanished. It was abrupt with practically no advance notice; my soul left my body. I felt energy, which I realize now was the blessing of the presence of God. I felt myself being gotten through the top of my home at a high pace. I thought back and saw the top of my home as I moved higher over the earth. I start to see the seas as though from a good ways. I started going quicker than the speed of light. At the point when you go quicker than the speed of light, you enter the domain of the Spirit; you need to go quicker than the speed of light.
I THOUGHT IT WAS THE RAPTURE!
I thought, it's the satisfaction! Its occurred! I shift focus over on my right side and on my left side, however I saw no other person. Then, at that point, I thought, all things considered, this couldn't be the satisfaction, since I knew basically Grandma would be here assuming it were!
I didn't have the foggiest idea where I was going. I was drifting some place in space, and I was going at a high pace. I passed numerous things in the main paradise which is around the world's environment.
I didn't understand it at that point, yet the thing I was encountering is referenced in the Bible. The witness Paul lets us know in 2 Corinthians 12:2 of being "got up to speed to the third paradise." Most Bible researchers concur that the world's normal environment is the principal paradise, and the subsequent paradise is that concealed domain of the soul — similarly as genuine as the regular world, yet imperceptible except if God wakes us up to see it. It is viewed as where Satan and his evil spirits have resided since being projected out of the third Heaven. The third Heaven is where God stays, and this is where I was going. Moving further through space, I started to see the lights of Heaven. It was so gorgeous, and I felt so settled, beyond what I might actually portray.
In a question of a couple of seconds, I arrived on a level space no bigger than the typical parlor floor and it was outside the greatest door I at any point found in my life. It was exceptionally wide and tall. This entryway was strong pearl the whole way through. There was certainly not a cut or flaw in it. The edges of the entryway, nonetheless, were cut with a plan, however the rest was a lustrous, sparkling whiteness of uprightness. I shook myself to check whether this was a fantasy. I concluded it was genuine when my ears got the words, "This is one of the doors."
THEN I SAW JESUS!
I pivoted to see who had addressed me and there stood Jesus Christ in the entirety of His greatness! It's one thing to see Jesus, yet it's something else by and large to see Jesus with the entirety of His brilliance! I remembered Him right away in spite of the fact that He seemed to be none of the photos I had at any point seen painted of Him. At the point when you are confronted with the presence of Jesus, you have almost certainly what His identity is.
Many individuals have asked me what Jesus resembles. I recall that He seemed, by all accounts, to be 5 feet, 11 crawls to 6 feet tall with sandy earthy colored hair; not excessively lengthy and not excessively short however right at His shoulders. His skin was olive-conditioned, and He had a facial hair growth. Anything you picture as an ideal man, that is the very thing that Jesus is. He's ideal in all things — the manner in which He looks, talks, moves — everything. That is the manner in which I recollect Him. He is God and that's what I detected.
As He moved toward me, the greatness that was all about Him start to push toward me, and it happened upon me. It was a finished inclination, magnificent, similar to nothing I have at any point experienced. I clasped to my knees. Tears started to spill down my face; I could never have halted them. They were not brought about by my human feelings. I was not crying since I was blissful or miserable or apprehensive, it basically happens when you experience God's magnificence. The magnificence of God will make you cry in His presence. Each time Jesus talks, maybe bolts of confidence pushed by affection hit you and detonate within you. It will carry you to tears.
Jesus said, "Presently stop the tears. Now is the ideal time to go through Heaven. I need to give you a visit through Heaven since I love you so much." Remember, God is no respecter of people. He adores you however much He cherishes me. There is no distinction in His eyes between you and me.
The tears started to pour down my face once more. He said, "There's no need of tears, however a face overflowing with happiness would make me happy." Then He chuckled, and I went along with him. Jesus approached me and shot in the arm. He cleaned away my tears.
I looked all the more eagerly at the things that encompassed me. The excellence of that spot flabbergasted me. We don't have the jargon on earth to depict it.
Then, at that point, Jesus accompanied me to the entryway. He didn't request that anybody open it, He didn't press a button. The entryway just recorded vertical, and we strolled through
