Back in June 2004 I had major surgery that was not planned.
My family was told that I had less than 20% chance of surviving.
Most of it was a blur for me except a dream I had, where I was in
a haze and I was around people who had passed on before me.
I had such a peaceful calm feeling, nothing like I have ever
experienced on Earth.
When I awoke, some of that feeling was still with me and I was aware
that something special had happened to me.
Several days later, the Doctor told me he lost me twice on
the operating table but managed to pull me back each time.
Today I'm so Blessed for that experience as I'm not afraid of death
at all, in fact I welcome it as I know in my Heart, it is moving on
to something far greater than this World.

That is wonderful. I am so glad you shared that. I have had many experiences with the Lord that are too intimate to put here, but I will share this one thing. About 15 years ago, I was suffering incredibly in many ways. Too much to go into in a couple small sentences.... After I had finished pouring out my heart (in tears) to Jesus, He said my name AUDIBLY. He said my name in a longing, melancholy sigh. His Voice filled my entire body and the room. Let me tell you this: When He says that your BODY IS His temple, He means it! It's enough to make me jump up and down for joy. He is not just "saying" it.... it's true! I heard Him from within me! The only way I can relay to you what that is like is if you plug your ears and speak a word. The WAY THAT SOUNDS is like (similar) to what I heard.. but there's no way for me to describe it. His voice was so masculine and strong, yet so gentle and tender and loving! Oh He's beautiful!
****And, I agree, there's no fear in death. None! 2 Corinthians 5:8 says, "We are CONFIDENT, I say, WILLING RATHER to be absent from the body and present with the Lord."****

Back in 2000, on Mother's Day there was a special on TV, the Jesus miniseries. I couldn't wait to see it, and I loved it.
That night after everyone was in bed, I stayed up and just sang to Jesus. I had been so moved by the movie, especially His crucifixion and resurrection. My heart was just bursting. So I had to stay up and spend time with Him. I was in my kitchen (which at the time was kind of in shambles, in the midst of being renovated :-)
I held out my arms singing the song "I Need You." This song just made me cry, it was included at the end of the movie.
As I sang this song to Him, after a minute I became aware of His Presence with me. I had known this before, but this time I felt Him come so close....He came up behind me, pressing against me with His arms stretched out along mine as I worshipped. My head was beneath His chin. I don't know how to explain it but I could feel Him there almost in a 'solid' way, and I remember there was a great, strong warmth coming from Him. I almost lost my breath!
I remember this often and I am so thankful.

Thank God, thank God. This just shows the TRUTH that we are His own possession. In reality, He really does own us! And I am so glad!!!!

I have had several, what I called "timeless prayers", where I start off praising God, then move to prayer, then it suddenly I become aware as much as 5 hours have passed...usually on my feet, so I know I haven't been sleeping. There is joy and massive peace and serenity. This happens fairly often, last time while I was walking in the forest, next thing I knew I had walked 4 miles, and not a memory of the journey except the Presence of God...very nice.
However, my all time most intense experience with God was a seminar put on by Sentinel Group who had several famous members of world revivals come and speak to us...One in particular a pastor from Africa, told us a true story how in Africa things had become so bad, that one his fellow members had witnessed a baby being executed by a soldier, he then asked us with that in mind to pray to God "from deep to deep", from the depth of our heart to the depth of God's heart. So we joined hands and started to pray, then all of a sudden I felt what was like a punch in my stomach, which made me feel I had to bend over at the waste a bit, then from the pit of my stomach came a vibrant rush of feelings which felt like a power river coursing up from my middle, up through my chest, and out my mouth, and almost simulataneously out my arms...it was like a powerful current of electricity, like 10,000 volts AC...Then simulataneously I began to wail "Jesus, Jeesus, JEEESUS!" I felt on my ribs like hands compressing me and forcing me to say Jesus name over and over, with all my might. I immediately felt I had to collaspe to me knees, and continure to wail for Jesus Christ. In my mind there was clarity, eventhough I was wailing for Jesus, I could sort of observe my mind turning to God and having like a knowing of God's, holy Spirit's love for Jesus, passionate, passionate Love of Christ, and at the same time a kind of sadness and CONCERN, a passionate concern for the world of people who didn't not yet know Christ.. It was a super powerful love and concern for all the people in the world who still don't know God. This lasted about 10 minutes.. Then the leader rushed up on stage, I could hear him speak and he asked that we let God move us to the next step to a kinda engaging him in more intimate conversation, like a Christ would move us to a special room and speak to us, minister to us...but because it was new to me, and the rest, the prayers quietly subsided leaving many weaping quietly because well all felt touched by God. For several days afterwards, people who had no idea what had happened to me, came up and said that I look different, that I had been somehow change...stuff like that...Indeed I felt revolutionized.
It happened in the spring before 9-11, there were several other amazing prayers and prayer visions by others it was quite an experience...one in particular prophecying the events to come.
It caused me to know, and know that I know that God is real his Spirit resides in me, and he truly does have a passion to save the world of people, and he wants us to participate with him in getting it done as complete as possible, urgently, for the sake of his unborn children.
