JUDY: And I brought my head down, looked, and Jesus was standing in front of me. And He put His [music] hands out, and I took His hands; and I just kept singing! And I put both of His hands in one of mine, and just caressed His hand, and I felt the nail scars.
LARRY: Mm.
JUDY: And as soon as I recognized what it was, He learned forward and He said, “You know something, I did that for you”, and it was life-changing –
LARRY: Mm.
JUDY: at that point.
LARRY: Yeah.
JUDY: The next day, we went home to I lived in Redding, California, and went to Bethel Church. [music] And I went home to that church, and Beni, the Pastor’s wife, had me come up and share what had happened, so I went up and shared. And I suppose they both prayed for me; I don’t know; I just know I was down, –
LARRY: Yeah; yeah.
JUDY: and for the count for the whole service. And the Lord was showing me things, and that then towards the end, I happened to look up, and I saw God’s Glory. I didn’t know how I knew what it was, but I knew exactly what it was! It was the outshining of His Presence, and it was coming down to me. And I kept saying, “Look at how beautiful it is! It is so beautiful!”
LARRY: Mm.
JUDY: And it just kept coming down; and it got so bright, that I was going like this. But finally I had to close my eyes, and it came kept coming down. And every breath I breathed, I breathed it in; it permeated every cell of my body.
LARRY: Yeah.
JUDY: And it was heavy; and it kept getting heavier and heavier, and I thought, “Well I’m going to die now.”
LARRY: Mm.
JUDY: And, I didn’t; –
LARRY: Wow.
JUDY: and the Presence withdrew.
LARRY: Yeah.
JUDY: And that night changed my entire life.
LARRY: Wow.
JUDY: I no longer thought the same way. I totally fell in love with God, because with in His Glory was His love –
LARRY: Yes.
JUDY: this incomprehensible love and I was just I knew I was loved by Him. The next night, I was home; I knew what was going to happen. I go to bed, start to pray, waiting for this, but instead of the door opening a foot, it opened wide –
LARRY: Wow.
JUDY: and I moved in. And there were two figures; I knew one was God, and one was Jesus they were shadowy and I just started talking to them! Whenever I prayed, that’s where I would be with them,
LARRY: Mm.
JUDY: talking.
LARRY: Yeah. Well, and you hold that thought right there. I want to encourage you, as we’re getting ready for this next segment. The reason we’re talking about this testimony I wanted to have Judy share is because, will your experience with God [music ends] in the Heavenly realms will it look exactly like hers? May not be; God is a personal God. But here’s the thing: I believe God wants to ignite a hunger in you that is so deep, that drives you into a place where you say, “God, there must be something more. Lord, You didn’t create me, you didn’t save me, you didn’t fill me with the Holy Spirit just so I could have a static, religious approach to God.” God was never intended to be a concept; He is a person for you to relate with. And I believe an invitation is going out for whosoever would receive it, to encounter God, and to engage Him in these Heavenly places. And when we come back, Judy is actually going to tell you how you can go to these Heavenly places with God in your [music] everyday life.
