Thank you for sharing all that...You're welcome. Thank you for sharing all that you share with readers such as myself. It had been on my mind to return to your reply to my comment on this blog and soak up your wisdom and knowledge. <br /><br />I recall hearing someone speak of their near-death experience as being non-fearing as there was a feeling of love that overcame them while being seemingly guiding towards a "light."<br />Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02904024507867487521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891147390226720630.post-42214385555413146352013-11-04T06:43:01.492-08:002013-11-04T06:43:01.492-08:00Hi Don:
Let me grab my pen so that I can respond ...Hi Don:<br /><br />Let me grab my pen so that I can respond to you with the due diligence that your comments always deserve lol. What I'm excited to say before putting my pen in hand is that you have helped me to feel closer to this dream than I had originally felt and for that alone I'm grateful. You've confirmed things for me in your words and I know that was God's way of letting me know how deep this experience truly was. Not that I didn't feel like it was but now I can go deeper in my exploration. I too could have stopped breathing that night in my sleep. That may be why I was so moved/struck by the situation to begin with. We don't know what happens when we close our eyes and give ourselves to God for the night. <br /><br />I looked into Colston Burpo's experience and what sticks out the most to me is how he refers to, "Earth". Earth really is some far off, "planet type", of a place in Heaven from what I remember in my dream. I also completely identified with (as you mentioned), the holes in Jesus' hands and feet. There is so much significance with the "woe of the world", in just that one symbolic harshness that Jesus had to experience here on Earth for our behalf. This world truly grieves Jesus' Spirit and I could see that on his face very clearly in my dream. The face of a father wanting desperately to shield his child from any harm that he already bore witness to. I could also feel his love for all of us. His heart extends any type of love that I have ever experienced. Do you want to know what's funny? I can't even begin to explain this ideology to you BUT let me try. The reason I knew that I wasn't dead during the dream or when I woke up is because no one was singing. Somehow when I awaken, I knew that had I died there would have been singing in Heaven. Heaven is music, vibrant color and love. Heaven is Peace that we are not afforded here on earth. <br /><br />The scripture you referred to which is found in Revelations 12:7-12 talks about the war in Heaven and that moment when Satan was cast out. What I Love most about that passage is this, "And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb". Satan only wins when we allow him to. I'm a firm believer that Wisdom is located in the heart and that it has nothing to do with the intelligence of the mind. We have roads to take and whether we go left or go right will determine our destiny here. Jesus is seated at the, "right-hand", of the Father. When in doubt we have to pray for discernment because we serve a God that wants desperately for us to win.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to writing the sequel to this piece which has been resting on my heart for days now. It won't be a dream obviously but it will be what I can sum my, "Earth Dream", into. The Creator's love has wrapped me like a warm blanket since my stay here and for that I am forever grateful to Him. I have a lot of work/service that I'd like to do here in His honor before I leave. All I can do is stay focused on those things from day to day until the lights finally go out :-). As always, thank you immensely from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my work. May God Bless You Always.<br /><br />Much Luv,<br />~Barbara~The Brooklyn Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08673466547337519344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891147390226720630.post-70951238602093604802013-11-03T17:27:42.315-08:002013-11-03T17:27:42.315-08:00This is a wonderful post, so wonderful. I felt mys...This is a wonderful post, so wonderful. I felt myself envisioning your every word and sentiment and even recalling a book I read last year about Colston Burpo - a child who died and visited Heaven. So intrigued, cause he also spoke of pretty colors in Heaven that were different from colors found on Earth. And a white so brighter than any white he had seen. He mentioned the fact that Jesus Christ had "holes in his hands and feet which spoke of the crucifixion." I found that to be most fascinated. He told his mom that he met his sister, not knowing that his mom had an abortion before he was ever born. Isn't that something? We shared a conversation about abortion once and Colston's statement calmed my heart even more so than years of prayer. <br /><br />Compared to Heaven, Earth is definitely some sort of nightmare that would leave any pure hearted person or spirit completely shook. I am constantly reminded of a scripture that read, "woe unto the Earth," after Lucifer had been castes from Heaven and then dwelled upon the Earth. <br /><br />I enjoyed your read, as usual, and am happy that you not only shared your experience but that you EXPERIENCED as much in the first place.
