The Light When I committed my life to God and accepted salvation through the messiah, I began receiving powerful messages from God through visions, dreams, and miraculous events. The most amazing vision I had was of Heaven, which I received only a few months after turning away from my former pathetic life. The experience remains with me to this day and changed my life forever. During the vision, I felt as though I was in a spiritual state and floating above a cluster of clouds. Below, I caught sight of a stunning location nestled between the clouds, with a landscape where a meandering river flowed through. I gradually descended to the ground and found myself standing in what looked like a park. Drawn to a bridge over the river, I crossed over to the other side and became aware of an extraordinary sensation. It was an overwhelming love, so profound that it filled every part of me, including my mind and body, though I couldn’t discern whether I was actually physically present or purely in spirit. For the first time, I felt truly content and satisfied. I was struck by the realization that this love was not at all strange or overwhelming, but rather felt entirely natural and the way life should be.

I understood that I could live forever enveloped in this love without ever feeling bored, tired, or disinterested. It was an endless cascade of love that elicited a pure sense of joy within me. It felt as though I had been plugged in and was shown the key to life. I knew that this love could sustain me for eternity without waning. The love I experienced during the vision was paramount, but I also became aware of an incredible life coursing through me. I felt an intense sense of awareness and vitality that made my earthly existence, which I wasn’t thinking of at the time, seem lifeless in comparison. It was as though I was receiving a complete and full dose of life, while on Earth I was only receiving crumbs. This abundant life made me feel whole and complete, and I understood what it meant to be full. While everything around me radiated with God’s glory and was breathtakingly beautiful, it was my experience of God’s love and his life that held greater significance. As I continued to walk a straight path, I encountered the river again as it zigzagged through the landscape, and once again, there was a bridge that I crossed. This repeated several times, with each crossing leading me to a place where I could sense God’s love with ever-increasing intensity. It felt like I was ascending … Continue reading The River of Life
