One thing that's kind of strange to me is this. She has 2 children, myself and my brother. She also had 2 miscarriages, where after about 6 weeks, the fetus died. She told me that it wasn't particularly easy to conceive, and that there were times where it didn't work. However, when she became pregnant with me (the day before she found out) she had a dream with mother Mary telling her she was going to be giving birth to a child. It happened to be true. Then, her next attempt to have a baby was a miscarriage, and while she was at one point pregnant, she did not have a religious dream. Then, she had my brother, and the day before she found out about being pregnant with him, she said Jesus came to her, lifted her up, and said she would be giving birth to another baby.
I know these could be written off as just dreams, coincidences, potentially anticipation lead the brain to expect pregnancy, but these dreams didn't occur for the 2 miscarriages, does this potentially mean anything supernatural at work here?
I had a real dream/vision of my judgement and subsequent condemnation to Hell.. I dreamt that because I wanted an opportunity to show God my knee would not bend not my mouth confess anything. (pretty angry with God at that point in my life/wanted to spit in his eye.) So before my judgement my knees were not bent as I was laying face down on the floor/dirt with my head covered until I was commanded to rise. looked Jesus in the eye and rather than hate I felt all the love that was waiting there for me.. and in a fraction of a second my life was totaled, and I heard away from me evil doer. I never knew you, and the ground began to crumble around me anfell/slipped into hell fire which btw is not fire at all. It is the absence of creation and the sensation is that of being consumed by...fire. it bring 10xs the panic of being lite on fire and the pain as the bits of you that belong to creation are literally consumed nothingness. After I came to terms wih my fate I felt my last links to creation my mind/my sanity being to go under the stress of such great torment and it wasn't just me under said torment everything in hell is under the same torment demon Satan the whole lot was subject to the hell fire.
I call this memory a dream because i was going to sleep when it started and because when I was returned I was in bed as well (a little wetter than I began, but still in the same bed) Felt like I had fallen from a great distance and hit my bed hard, and woke gasping for air. even so even all these years later this plays in my mind as well or as sharp as any other lived memory I have if not more so in some cases.
Was this meant for anyone else by me? no this is doubting thomas getting to put his fingers in the side of Jesus, this is what God did for me He gave me what I needed to establish and maintain faith/belief in my life. Vision,dreams mean nothing outs side the person they were delivered to. If you want such an experience seek God on His terms (not the churchs) for yourself. Doubting thomas was not condemned He was rewarded with what He needed. There are some of us who ca not walk by faith alone. for those who can there is an extra measure. for everyone elses there is been given a great gift we all can access in this life.
