Keotsiurael:
In February of 2024 after 2 and a half week from being operated of double compressed fracture , all of a sudden I felt very ill. Called the ambulance. My daughter at the time was in Charlotte taking a training class for American airline. Before I called the ambulance her words were that she would with me in the spirit and so will Jesus. Once I got into the ambulance I saw her next to me. Then I passed out. Don’t remember anything after that just what I was told by my daughter that the doctor in charge called to let her know that she needed to come to the hospital for I had severe pancreatitis n it caused many complications. In order for me to breathe I was intubated. While all this happened I was in another dimension where I felt the presence of the Lord very strong. I didn’t feel anything that that doctors were doing to me. In that dimension I told God , , “ God you say in your Word that by the blink of an eye, you are gone. But here I am blinking and I’m still alive.” From there I saw myself sitting in one corner of a cement bench, a very dark brown n rusty. In the other corner there was an old man with his head down. I couldn’t see his face. Meantime I was moving my hands n chanting “ I’m alive, I’m alive. All of a sudden I heard the old man which by the way had the color of the bench, saying, “ you are not going anywhere.” After that the Lord showed me many things. Darkness in the world. Turbulence. I saw myself running n saying to my daughter, “ Monique, look, I’m running.” I saw a small merry- go - round showing the words repent, and forgive. When my daughter was told by the Dr that I would not make it, my daughter’s response was, only if the Lord tells me I believe it. Our friend that was with me said she was praying for 3 consecutive nights without sleeping or eating. Then my daughter heard the words of the Lord saying, “ I will raise her in 3 days. And 3 days later I awoke. Liver n kidneys were back to normal. Praise God. I was taken out from intensive care. Still not realizing what was going on. Later my body was afflicted with a bacteria called “ pseudomonas, which caused multiple abcesses in my abdomen. Was 3 kept in the 2 different hospitals for 3 months. months. Was transferred to another hospital to keep being treated. From there I went to a rehabilitation facility for a month where the treatment continued with 2 different antibiotics. It’s taken me a long time to be restored, I m having issues with my digestive system. Not long ago I was diagnosed with diverculitis. My daughter and I are digestive issues. Thank you in advance for your prayers

As Jesus was leaving, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees became hostile and tried to provoke him with many questions. They wanted to trap him into saying something they could use against him.

—Luke 11:53-54 NLT

Key Thought

We can have any one of at least four different reactions to Jesus' demands in our lives:

We can respond to his convicting truths with harsh anger and fury,
we can ignore Jesus' words and treat them as irrelevant,
we can rationalize away those demands so that we can play like we are Jesus-followers without really being disciples, or
we can obey, and show by our lives that we truly believe he is Lord.

What do you do with Jesus' words?

Today's Prayer

Father, thank you for sending Jesus to speak and reveal your truth. Keep my heart open to that truth so that it will flourish and bring changes to my life as I obey the Lord Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
