What About The Rapture?

I had a dream about the Rapture. In may dream my husband and I were riding in the car our little VW Bug. We were near the mountains, it was a nice day, all was well. Then I saw these clouds that seem to be like a scroll over the mountains. I told my husband drive toward the clouds, so he did. We had to get out of the car and we walked a ways toward the mountain, when we were in a fog, then I looked up, and there was a break in the fog so I could see Jesus in the sky with his arms stretched out towards us and I saw "sparks" going up and attaching to Jesus and I realized it was "people". I knew it was the Rapture and I looked over at my husband to say....we're going home.....then I woke up. But, it was so real. I had a dream of Jesus when I was a little girl, too but it wasn't the Rapture.

I saw Jesus for real when I was dying of SLE Lupus. My doctor was Jewish and he had come to the hospital because he knew I was going to die that day for sure. I knew I was dying too. I had been praying for my husband to re-marry and marry someone who would love our two little boys they were three and five. My husband had a terrible step mother so I didn't want our kids to go through what he did. As I was praying I felt someone come into the room. I thought it was my husband. But, when I opened my eyes Jesus was standing by the side of my bed. He told me I was going to be okay. I wanted to go with Him and He said it wasnt' my time. I can't tell you what he looked like, I can't even tell you the color of His eyes, yet, I felt so much love coming from Him it is difficult to explain His love for us, it was so over powering. Again I wanted to go with Him, and again He said, I couldn't go with Him. I loved my husband and I loved my boys, but I wanted to go with Him anyway. Then He disappeared. The nurses were taking my vital signs about every fifteen minutes. After Jesus left, the nurses came in to take my vital signs. Then they went and got two more nurses and they all came back and took my vital signs. Then they got some more nurses and they all came back and took the vital signs again. Then they suddenly left the room. I thought, what the heck is going on. Then they all returned with the doctor, and they all had big smiles on their faces. The doctor took my vital signs, and then said, "I don't know what happened, but you can go home tomorrow. You should have died today, I was waiting for you to die today. I had a fever over 104 degrees, barely a heart beat and pulse. Now the fever was gone, my heart was normal and strong, and my pulse was back to normal....all this happened with 15 minutes from the time I saw Jesus to when the nurses came and took my vital signs after Jesus left. The doctor said it was a miracle.

You can disbelieve if you will, but I know what I know. I've almost died six times with SLE Lupus and have had three angels come to help me. Long stories. But, everyone that knows me, and have been with me all these years, know that the Lord has had his hand on me, all my life. I am not special, I don't do anything special, except I've always loved the Lord. And He has loved me even though I've wandered away from Him at times in my life growing up.....but he was only a heartbeat away.

I have seen and witnessed many things in my life. The Lord has allowed me to see what I've seen in order to help others. I need Jesus Christ everyday of my life, and He helps me to make it through each day, for He hears my "heart sounds". His Grace and Love covers me like a blanket.

Corrie Ten Boon said, "There is no pit so deep, that God isn't deeper still."
No matter how bad my pain can get, or how bad I hurt, I know it could be worse. Why? Because I've been there. It is His Grace that gets us through the hard times. It is by His Grace that we wake up every morning. It is His Grace that we live minute to minute, each and every day and every day is a "gift".

Take Care and God Bless <><

Thank you for sharing. God has always healed and cared for people and miracles happen everyday. There's no doubt about that. What's interesting, is that while you claimed to see Jesus, you never actually saw Him, nor can you describe Him. You merely experienced incredible emotions and a sense of presence. Which really is not surprising because God gives us love, joy peace etc. Whether you were in the presence of an angel unawares is unclear but as you stated you can't describe who or what you saw. The fact that you were healed, is certainly somehting to glorify God with.

Every day really is a gift, and even the miracle of life itself, each moment we have is truly something to treasure.

The Scripture that comes to mind about HIs grace, which I think most Christians can attest to having received time and again, are these:

Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Rom 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Rom 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Rom 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Rom 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Rom 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1Pe 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Jas 5:10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
Jas 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
Jas 5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
Jas 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
Jas 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
Jas 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

Your dream or vision of Jesus and sparks, actually to be totally honest, reminds of kabbalah's view of God, in very short form, the Ein sof and the regathering of the sparks to Himself.

What did that Jesus look like?
