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

[Jesus continued, "The world will hate and persecute] you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me. They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin. Anyone who hates me also hates my Father. If I hadn't done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still hate me and my Father. This fulfills what is written in their Scriptures: 'They hated me without cause.'"

—John 15:21-25 NLT

Key Thought

When Jesus' disciples today face rejection, persecution, hardship, and hatred because of their faith, they need to know that they are not alone. Jesus also faced these things. Other Christians before them have faced these things. That rejection, whether today or in years past, is not the rejection of the disciple, but the rejection of God. Jesus' disciples never face hardship alone. They are surrounded by a huge cloud of witnesses testifying that it is worth every effort and hardship to endure to the end. They are accompanied by a God who lives inside them by his Spirit and promises never to leave them or forsake them. Jesus' disciples must not take their persecution and mistreatment personally; they're not being rejected, but God and his will and his grace are being rejected. As Jesus' disciples, we need to be faithful, and we will find the victory crown of life that awaits us!

Today's Prayer

Give me courage, dear Father, so that I will always live passionately and faithfully for you and your Kingdom. Give me the strength never to compromise my faith, my integrity, or my morals when facing hardship, scrutiny, or mistreatment. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
