Excerpt: Chapter one It was a cold Sunday night in January 1995 around 1:30 in the morning. My husband had gone to bed earlier, and no one else was home. I stayed up to read because I wasn’t sleepy. The television was off and the house was quiet.
As I sat on the couch reading my book, suddenly! I heard the kitchen floor squeak. It sounded as if someone had walked through the kitchen into the living room and stood there in the doorway. I looked up, but saw no one, so I continued to read. (I love to read and usually keep a pen and pad nearby for note taking).
I noticed I started to feel a presence in the room. I could feel this presence coming closer and closer toward me, but I kept trying to read even though it was almost impossible. I knew someone had walked into the room, but I saw no one. I sensed someone sit down on the couch right next to my pen and pad. Then I heard someone breathe deeply and exhale as if trying to get my attention. By now the book is closed. Trust me, who ever were there had every ounce of my attention. I couldn’t believe what was happening. After sitting there in awe for a few seconds, with urgency, I decided to take the pen and pad in my hands, holding the pen point on the paper. I asked, “Who are you and what do you want?” To my surprise, the pen begins to move automatically. I thought, oh my God! Oh my God! It moved--it’s really moving! ….
Excerpt: Chapter two It is really hard to explain, but I felt I was incased inside of God Himself. I felt as if I was God and God was me. I was in Him and a part of Him. We were one and the same being. My soul was His soul. I knew He was truly in control of every aspect of all our lives. I was surrounded by this serene, calm blue color. This calm blueness was Spirit and this Spirit was Peace and this Peace was Mind and this Mind was God Himself. There was no sense of time, only eternity!
While I was caught up with God, my mind was aware of everyone, but I saw no one. Not only did I felt connected to everyone, I felt that everyone and everything was truly all right, in the hands of God. It was as though there was no separation between heaven and earth. There was no need to speak a word, for I totally understood everything. I knew the answers to so many questions I had pondered over. There, I felt an ocean of unconditional love, peace, and forgiveness. I felt purely whole and totally perfect. I felt like I was at home for the very first time in my life. My mind was totally at rest in the Mind of God. I could also feel His immense grace and mercy that He has for all of us. God let me know that He is truly the God of no respect of persons, and I mean “No Respect of Persons,” (Romans 2:11). There really isn’t anyone respected by God above another…I don‘t care who you are. There are no big I’s or little you’s. There are no good me’s and bad you’s.
Meeting God was the most powerful experience I have ever had. He introduced Himself to me three days before my 47th birthday. His presence is so powerful; the only way you can stand in it--is because He is so powerfully loving! Once He touches you, you can’t go back to being the same!
