Let me state that up to this point in my life I wasn't particularly religious, nor did I even think or pray to anyone other than God Himself.  Jesus wasn't part of my life, either consciously or unconsciously. 

In my revelation Christ promised me that he would return for me, and I know he someday will.  

My revelation came in a dream � a very real dream.  In my dream I heard someone knock at the front door.  As I made my way to the door, I saw the entire house filled with people, and I couldn�t understand why no-one was answering the knock. 

When I opened the door, I saw with pure ecstasy that Jesus was standing there, and as far back as I could see, beautiful angels were behind him.  I was awestruck with joy, and shouted out to everyone to look � but no-one heard, no-one looked.  I turned back to Jesus with utter sorrow, but as devastated and crushed as I was, Jesus was more so.  He sadly let me know that the others were not ready to hear or see him.  He told me that he just wanted to let me know that he would be there for me when I needed him, and that he had to go.

I pleaded to him to take me with him, but he smiled sadly and said he couldn�t, because I still had much to do.  He promised me then that he would go make a place for me and return for me when the time was right.  I was both sad and elated, and as I shut the door, I woke up.   

In the days that followed, my dream was confirmed as a divine revelation by three messages:

The first message was when I opened a book given to me by my dear brother Ray.  The first page I flipped to was- 'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.�  I remember thinking to myself, �how weird is this � it actually describes my dream!�

The second message came to me when I glanced at another book given to me by a friend.   Again, I simply flipped to a page and the first passage my eyes fell on was 'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.�  

The third and final confirmation occurred when I stood talking to Mom as she swept out from under her refrigerator.  A tiny little book came flying out, and several pages were missing.  I was incredulous as I looked down and saw the passage:  'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.�

I was astounded; I couldn�t believe I was having the exact message from my dream confirmed - Revelation 3:20

The promise Jesus had given me was also confirmed when I read John 14:3 � And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.� 

OK - that was the great part, and I have to confess that I was a little confused as to why I had been given such a wonderful gift in the form of a dream.   

The answer came a few months later... 

My only child at the time, my son, was somewhere between 18-24 months old and I had become separated from my husband.  My son's bedroom was across the hall from mine, and his crib was right under the window.  In the weeks immediately before the experience I am about to describe he had talked about a 'boogey-man' in the house, and his fright was very real.   

Then one night, I awoke to his screams.  I jumped up and ran the short distance to his room, and as I reached into the room to turn on the light, I felt the most horrible evil presence I have trouble even describing.  My little boy was sitting in the middle of his crib - and the crib was jumping up and down and shaking from side to side.  It took every once of courage i could muster to step into the room that was dense with this evil presence.  I slowly walked to the crib, snatched up my son, and ran back to my bedroom, locking the door behind me.  I didn't have a phone in the room.  I sat up the rest of the night, rocking my baby and praying.  The next morning I called a priest to come bless the house.  He arrived with a pure white german shepard dog, and went into my baby's room and shut the door behind him.  He was in the room about 20 minutes, and continued to bless the rest of the house.  He told me to call him if I ever had anything else happen.  It never happened again, but my son talked about the  boogey man with the red eyes at the window for months afterward. 

I truly believe that Jesus came to me to strengthen me and let me know that he was there for me.  I don't know how I would have gotten through my horrible experience if he hadn't.
