Some night when you are asleep and you woke up and you could see Jesus standing beside your bed, what would you do? Pass out, crawl under the bed, or talk to Him? If he sat down beside you and asked you what would be the one thing he could give you personally that would make you happy, what would it be? It would have to be for just you and not for someone else. Would you want wealth, power, a healing, hugs, a relationship with Him or more wishes? Or if you just strongly felt God's presence in the room, would you be less scared? Would you want to talk to Jesus for awhile and what would you want to ask Him? One more question, would you think someone is crazy if they talked about seeing Jesus or strongly feeling His presence in the room?

John said he "fell at His feet as though he were dead."
I would probably have the same reaction.

Have you ever heard the song "I can Only Imagine"? It's dynamite. I can only imagine what I'd do, but i think i would grab onto Him and ask tons of questions. I would confess my shortcomings and thank Him immeasurably for His forgiveness, then I would do exactly what He says.

Born again to raze hell
If i could stand to be in the presense of His glory, I would first say forgive me for any shortcomings. As to what I would ask Him? How could I ask Him of anything more, He's already saved my soul. Oh, I would ask Him to convict without stopping my friends who don't believe....wait, He already does that.

I wouldn't know, I've never had it happen. I've seen a lot of scary things in my room in that time between dreaming and being awake, but nothing as powerful as the Lord. I'd like to think I'd talk with Him, but I wouldn't ask Him for anything. I know what He'd say if I asked for wealth, power or a healing, so I wouldn't bother asking. I know what He'd say if I asked him for a better relationship with Him too - He'd say that I just have to put in the hard yards knowing Him better myself alone in my room on my knees everyday, not just when He's visiting my room in the middle of the night. I'd talk to Him about the little things, my doubts, my friendships, ask Him what it was we do down here on Earth that makes everyone in heaven laugh at how silly we are, ask for the lowdown on a few confusing Bible verses. And listen to what He has to say But that's what I imagine I would like to do, in reality I agree with Mr Cheese, I'd fall on my face in a sobbing wreck because of my sins compared to His majesty.
But maybe the original question is just a hopeful fantasy (I'm not saying that we are wrong for indulging in such a hypothosis, I'm just hoping to bring this from the realm of the imagination to some application to our lives). Any Christian here would love Jesus to appear in their bedroom at night, but what about the Jesus we encounter everyday? I'll be the first to admit my relationship with Jesus is nothing like the kind it should be, and certainly not the kind to produce half of the wisdoms many wonderful, intelligent Christians encourage others with here. But Jesus IS with us daily. We can talk to him with a direct line through prayer. However, I also understand there is sometimes problems with our reception, so we can't hear Jesus speaking to us. Then God is surely with us when two or three are gathered in his name, so our Christian friends are important to share our spiritual walk. And lastly, helping Christians in need is service to the Lord, for as Jesus' parable in Matthew 25:31-46 says so well, "Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it [or later not done it] to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it [later not again] to Me."
Now I gotta go and take my own advice, like the bitter little pill it is.

a long journey ahead
well.. maybe speechless and a bit afraid.. it's not everyday that you see some stranger in your house (and we don't actually know what Jesus looks like, so unless he has some essence that we know or that he identifies himself?)
oh, and if he asked that question, i'll ask Him without hesitation to help me with my christian walk, because i'm really having difficulties..

At the risk of sounding like a flake.....
I awoke to find Him walking at the end of my bed, as I recognized who it was He turned and approached. He came within 3 or 4 feet and, in a blink of my eye He was gone. He never said a word, only I felt comfort. The intire incedent lasted all of about 1 minute, I checked to make sure I was awake, and contemplated the whole expirience until falling asleep again.
Quite moving I must say.

Openeyes,
I believe the spirit is felt very strongly in your life and you seen the spirit with form to give you comfort and let you know the spirit is always with you. If that makes sense...
Visions are a wonderful thing...dont look for them...God will reveal visions for a reason.

Oh, if Jesus ever appeared to me in my bedroom, I'll just swoon.......lol........and rush straight into His arms hugging Him, clinging on to Him. Then I'll cuddle up to Him and just hear Him speak. =PP

I'd be delighted. I'd finally get to have a normal conversation, in which I can see Jesus' body language, see his eyes, hear his intonations. I'd get to talk with him about anything and get a verbal reply out of him. A conversation, not a monologue. I day-dream about it alot. I'd ask to be made truely loving, and real, (that is not a hypocrite).

Hi Debbi!!!!
Loved this post. My answer: After I fell out of bed onto the floor, looking totally ridiculous, I would crawl to His feet and beg Him for wholeness.
And no, I dont' think it's crazy for anyone to talk about seeing Him. Especially if that someone has been hurting....those are the ones Jesus has appeared to and healed in the past.
