Forty five years ago Jesus walked into my presence. I was in a room praying. This was the most frightening and terrifying experience in my life. I thought about running out of the room or hiding from Him. I feared Jesus was going to incinerate me.
The power of Jesus was unlike anything in this world. I witnessed that God could destroy an evil nation in a split second. I now knew all the claims of Jesus were true and nothing is impossible for Him.
Jesus showed me He was a God of unconditional love and He has no ego or needs. I could see His sole purpose was to draw people into the gift of salvation.
Jesus then turned to me looking into my inner being and showed me what He saw. The picture was disgusting. I was miles apart from the character of God. I could see that I would never come close to the standards of Jesus. I was a self driven man and Jesus was pure with no ego or self ambitions.
A few years later God gave me a dream about my father who was no longer alive. He was in hell with a mutilated body and was being taken care of by two grotesque looking prostitutes. My father was experiencing endless pain and agony. I woke up with a strong feeling that no one should ever gamble about ending up in hell.
Years later, God gave me another dream. I saw a huge fireball strike the earth. I ran to the front door to get a better look but the earth was shaking with death and destruction everywhere. I slammed the door shut. God told me this dream is a sign of His judgment over our country.
Several months later Pat Robertson, a famous television evangelist, prophesied the same exact dream.
The revelations from Jesus plus many other signs and wonders was all I needed to abandon myself to Jesus without any strings attached.
I also have learned that Jesus hates religion. Jesus simply wants you to walk by faith believing in His promises and seriously seek His will for your life.
Jesus is very approachable. You just have to take the first step!

Hi Hal, I read your devotional this morning (as I do most days) and it especially impacted me. You may remember I was introduced to your writings by Brett Schomaker and we have developed a very close friendship as a result. I have appreciated your writings for a year or more, but as previously mentioned, was greatly impacted by what you wrote this morning as I too have had those moments and dreams. I think it is time for me to call and have a chat. I have CCD this to Brett with the hope that we could have a three way call maybe, just whatever works for you guys will be good for me. Blessings, Warren
