An Encounter With Yeshua

“Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions” (Joel 2:28 NLT.

 

I was informed last Friday that I needed a second biopsy. Overwhelmed with uncertainty and fear, I cried out to the Lord. I threw myself at His mercy and asked Him why I had been suffering so much for the past year. I went to bed after I said my prayers and complained.

I had a vision while I was asleep. In my vision, I found myself in a building that resembled a church. Though it was very dark, I knew there were other people there. There was a group of people on my left who appeared to be Christians, but on my right was a group of people who were non-Christians. They were attacking the Christians. Despite their human-like behavior, I knew they were demons.

I tried to tell the Christians to fight back because we had the power in Jesus’ name to do so. They were scared and were not fighting back. I held my phone up as a light source, faced them, and began rebuking them in a language I didn’t know yet understood what I was saying. I kept calling out over and over, “Yeshua, come.”

Suddenly, the door opened, and a bright light, like the sun, appeared and illuminated the darkness. I yelled, “Yeshua is here,” and ran towards the light. I could see a figure emerging from the light as I got closer. I saw his body, his pierced hands, and I fell at His feet saying, “Yeshua, you’re here.” He gave me a gentle embrace and called me by name as He said, “Do not fear; I am with you.” Then He turned to face the demons and wiped them out using His voice. Above the sky, I saw an army of angels dressed in armor fighting with swords.

Friends, I felt so much peace and joy. I cannot explain it. I woke up calling out His name, Yeshua. In my 42 years as a Christian, I have never had a vision like that. It was so real.

What season are you facing right now? Like me, are you going through emotional and physical storms? Have you experienced the loss of a loved one and have lost hope? Or are you facing uncertainty and don’t see a way out?

Be encouraged- Yeshua is real. He has never left us alone. Even when we’re unfaithful and lose our perspective, Yeshua never does. He has great plans for me, and you. All we need to do is trust His Word. He promised never to leave us nor forsake us. (See Hebrew 13:5) Even though the mountains and giants we face may be overwhelming, Yeshua is far greater than our giants. Let us approach His throne and lay all our worries, fears, and concerns at His feet. He’ll take care of it, for the battle belongs to Him.

Father, thank you for the beautiful vision You showed me. Words can never explain what it was like to see You, Yeshua, face to face. You have hovered me with love, peace, comfort, and joy in my darkest hours. I can face anything, Lord, knowing that You are always by my side; You will never leave or forsake me. You are always with me. In Jesus name, I praise You, amen.
