Sharing Jesus with My Stepfather
In 1994, Jesus asked me to go tell my stepdad, Vince, about Jesus.
This is the background on Vince: He was Catholic, retired from the military, had a metal plate in his head from injuries in the service, and was from the North. He was always gruff, drank a lot, and was right about everything. I was very shy and nervous to talk to him when my mom wasn't in the room. At this point, I had never really liked him.
One day Jesus asked me, "Will you go tell Vince about Me?"
I said, "No."
Jesus asked me again, "Will you go tell Vince about Me?"
I said, "No, he is very mean."
The third time Jesus asked me, "Will you tell Vince about Me?" He had a very sad tone in His voice.
I said, "He will eat me alive!"
I knew how he felt about his Catholic beliefs, and he had a sharp attitude. But I wanted to obey Jesus, so I took my little Bible over to their house.
I nervously walked up to the door. Vince answered the door so happy to see me and invited me in. I didn't know how I was going to present Jesus to him.
He asked me if I wanted to see pictures of their vacation. With sweaty hands and feeling very nervous, I said, "Sure."
The first picture was of a church. I heard the Holy Spirit say, "That's your open door." As Vince lit a cigarette, I asked him if he knew how to get to Heaven. With a lot of cuss words, he told me what he thought the way to Heaven was—by being good, helping others, etc.
I asked him if he would like to know what the Bible said. He put his cigarette down and said, "Yes." With my hands noticeably shaking, I opened up my little New Testament Bible and shared with him the "Romans Road" to salvation, since that's what I was taught as a Baptist.
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one." (Romans 3:10 KJV)
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23 KJV)
"But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8 KJV)
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23 KJV)
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9–10 KJV) (Photo via Pxfuel)
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13 KJV)
When I finished, I asked him if he would like to ask Jesus into his heart and make Him the Lord of his life. He let out a cuss word and said, "Yes, I would."
He prayed that day with me, asking Jesus to be the Lord of his life. Putting his cigarette out, he had tears in his eyes and gave me a hug. I felt led to say to him, "Live the next three months of your life like they are the last."
When I drove out of the driveway, I was so mad at Jesus for making me do that. I wasn't happy about Vince getting saved because he scared me so much, but I did it anyway.
Vince died within the three months of a major brain aneurysm, and I would not have been able to share Jesus with him if I had not gone when I did.
My Experience Seeing Hell
That week in 1994, after he had died, Jesus took me to the entrance of Hell, which appeared as a dark, cave-like room. It was void of any light or other people. Jesus and I stood at the entrance of the room as I looked inside.
I felt the horror in the room. I saw Vince tightly strapped down and stretched out on a slab where he could not move. I saw three demons with long leather strips of material, having sharp bone or metal tied every few inches down the strips, beating Vince.
The sharp objects would stick into his skin, and the demons would yank them down his body. He was screaming as the sharp pieces stuck deep into his back and ripped off the skin. The demons were not at all bothered by his screams of terror and pain. It was almost like they liked doing this.
I was so confused by seeing Vince in Hell being beaten, and the horror and darkness of this place. I knew I was safe, because Jesus stood holding my hand as I watched this. I said to Jesus, "How could Vince be in Hell when he asked You into his life?"
Jesus softly said, "This would have been his first day if I had not gone to him." Jesus said that I was the only one he would listen to. I was the daughter he never had.
Jesus and I walked out and back into Heaven. I saw Vince in Heaven after that. He was wearing a beautiful robe, and he leaned over to me and whispered (like Jesus couldn't hear him) about the great quality of the material. He smiled real big as he walked away.
Encounter with Daddy God and Mud Castles
This is one of my favorite encounters with God that happened in 2013:
I saw Daddy God as if I were a small child, and I ran, jumped, and hugged His neck and kissed Him, telling Him how much I missed Him. He laughed and hugged me with both arms. We walked a little until I sat down and began playing with a stick in a mud puddle. He sat with me.
He took His hand and made a tall mud mountain, about four inches high, then took His fingers and rubbed them together, and it SNOWED! I tried to make it snow over my mud mountain, and nothing! Ugh!
Daddy took my hand, held out His hand, and put my hand INSIDE of His. They were see-through, and my hand was inside of His. Then, He took His other hand and put it inside of mine. (Photo via Pixabay)
"Rescue me from my enemies, Lord, for I hide myself in You." (Psalm 143:9 NIV)
"I and the Father are one." (John 10:30 NIV)
Jesus walked up and smiled and put His hand inside of my hand and His hand inside of Daddy's. I could see all three different hands, but we were one body. We were transparent, we were one, but three different hands. So cool!
I leaned back and sank into Daddy, and Jesus walked into us. I could see and feel all three of us, but we were in one body. I got up and sat on a swing, and all three of us swung. We walked; we swung. It was like I had a transparent covering. He said, "When you're alone praying, it's hard, right? But when we are one, everything is easier." I could feel the swing, but yet I was sitting in Daddy with Jesus. The three of us were swinging.
We went back to the mud puddle. While sitting there, I was inside Daddy and Jesus. I reached out and could see the three different layers. This time I formed a water fountain out of the mud puddle. It was about four inches high, and water flowed up and out. When I stretched out my hand, their hands were stretching out with me. As long as we were one and I was not doing it alone, it was easy to create.
This reminded me of the story of when Jesus took mud and put it on the blind man's eyes.
"When He had said this, He spat on the ground and made mud with His saliva, and He spread the mud [like an ointment] on the man's eyes." (John 9:6 AMP)
Could it be He used the mud, not because of some deep theological reason but just because Jesus likes to be childlike and play in the mud with His Father?
When Jesus reached out with mud on His hands, He knew the Father was also reaching out and creating with Him.
