THE GOD OF A 2nd CHANCE - MARINE COMES FACE TO FACE WITH GOD
Praise_Jesus:
I have been putting off sending in my testimony, but we are not promised tomorrow.
My Grandmother used to sit me on her knee, and tell me about Jesus, when I was only 6 years old. I remember her saying, "Don't you worry, Jesus will take care of you". I feel her prayers to this day. She went to Heaven in 1959.
In 1972 in Thailand, I was in the United States Marines, I saw a vision of the Lord Jesus, and Heard his Voice and Saw His Holy Face. I was wide awake at 2:00 am, looking up at the stars in the sky.
Suddenly, a pin-point of light, like a star, expanded very quickly until it filled the whole sky.
IT WAS THE FACE OF THE LORD GOD JESUS. His Hair was white as snow, His eyes were like solid gold. He looked like wind was blowing His hair back. It was the Face of The Almighty and Holy One, The Lord God.
I felt suddenly afraid. My whole body trembled, my heart was beating so fast.
I felt like Isaiah when he saw the Lord. Isaiah 6:5 - "Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, The Lord of Hosts."
AS the Lord's face filled the whole sky, I saw to my left and lower down, but still above me, a man or an Angel, he was suspended in air. He spoke to the LORD GOD. He spoke about me to the LORD!
I felt like I was going into a panic attack, my heart, my breathing, THIS WAS REAL!
The man or Angel asked the LORD GOD, "For More time to help save me, and said He planned to fertilize around me". The LORD GOD, said, "LET IT BE".
Then the vision ended. The face of The LORD GOD, went back up into the stars, the man or Angel disappeared.
I knew it was my day of visitation. I immediately thought, "What if the Lord had not said "LET IT BE", would I have perished for ever. I believe so.
I walked around all night almost in shock. When day light came, my mind could barely think about anything else. For weeks I was astounded.
I started reading the new testament, going to the Chapel, praying, and I was Baptized, and was saved.
Then I remember telling a Christian Marine buddy, "For the first time in my life, I understand who I am".
The Lord Jesus has been very wonderful to me. He has forgiven my sin, and saved my soul, and helped me understand the things I should do in the world.
That is: Stop sinning, Love All, Pray for All, do good to All, be patient and live in peace with all people, and walk in paths of righteousness.
Jesus lives in my Heart. His Spirit lives in me.
I don't even feel like the person I used to be. I was bad and evil and confused and angry at one time in my life, but now Jesus lives in me and I am not the same.
I have seen the LORD GOD again 5 months ago. But this time He was beside me like a close friend, cheek to cheek, and He spoke to me and talked with me. This is not the place to tell you all the things HE said. I felt no fear this time, but great peace and love to be in His presence. I cherished His Presence. I cherished His Words, and the sound of His Voice.
I owe my soul to JESUS.
These words that I have written are the TRUTH, as God Himself is my witness!
God Bless
LOVE
