    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

    🙏 Let's lift up Keotsiurael's miraculous recovery and ongoing health struggles.

Key Passage
"On the judgment day, you people that live now will be compared with the people from Nineveh, and they will be witnesses to show that you are wrong (guilty). Why? Because when Jonah preached to those people, they changed their hearts and lives. And you are listening to someone greater than Jonah, {but you refuse to change}! On the judgment day, you people that live now will also be compared with the Queen of the South, and she will be a witness to show that you are wrong (guilty). Why? Because she traveled from far, far away to listen to Solomon's wise teaching. And I tell you that someone greater than Solomon is right here, {but you won't listen to me}!"

— Matthew 12:41-42 ERV (Read Full Text)

Key Thought
Jesus makes two emphatic claims to his religious skeptics: (1) in the past, foreigners recognized the greatness and wisdom of God's leaders and responded to the truth that they spoke, but Jesus' skeptics did not come to him—they will have to face judgement for being so hard-hearted; (2) Jesus says that he is greater than Jonah or Solomon and his skeptics have rejected him—so their judgement is more than deserved. Jesus is greater! He is greater than Moses, greater than angels, greater than Elijah, greater than John the Baptist; he is greater. To reject him is to reject God's greatest message and our greatest hope.

Prayer
Loving Father, today I want to pray for several of my friends who have not come to faith in Jesus. They have rejected his salvation either by neglect or by a conscious decision. Please open their hearts and work in their lives so they will have another opportunity to come to know Jesus as their Lord and respond to that opportunity. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Related Scriptures
Jesus is the only One who can save people. His name is the only power in the world that has been given to save people. We must be saved through Jesus!"
Acts 4:12

In the past God spoke to our people through the prophets. God spoke to them many times and in many different ways. And now in these last days God has spoken to us again. God has spoken to us through his Son. God made the whole world through his Son. And God has chosen his Son to have all things. The Son shows the glory of God. He is a perfect copy of God's nature. The Son holds everything together with his powerful command. The Son made people clean from their sins. Then he sat down at the right side of the Great One (God) in heaven. God gave him a name that is a much greater name than any of the angels have. And he became that much greater than the angels.
Hebrews 1:1-4

Jesus answered, "The things I teach are not my own. My teaching comes from him (God) who sent me. If a person wants to do what God wants, then that person will know that my teaching comes from God. That person will know that this teaching is not my own.
John 7:16-17
