My Testimony: A vision of Jesus Christ

In 1979, the same year my son was born, I had a seven-day vision of the Lord. The following is an account of my conversion to Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. I had involvement in the United Church choir as a young boy, but sadly had slipped away from church-going and, in retrospect, was a sinner saved by Grace.

The Vision

Thousands upon thousands of people articulated in full colour in the sky (not cloudy figures), of all nations and all ages past; turbans inclusive, turning their heads, happy, then next manifesting terror as if an apocalyptic judgment was imminent; and back to joy, repeated again and again (I saw this as the righteous in Christ, versus the final fear of the unsaved facing judgement).

In the last of the successive daily visions, a bright, atomic-like, pure white, penetrating light flashed all around me — a radiant, universal light force that I had never experienced in the natural world — came towards the vision’s screen from behind and broke through it, smashing the screen. I then beheld the magnificent face of the Lord Jesus Christ filling the entire sky.

During the vision, the light permeated everything around me. Jesus’ face portrayed absolute LOVE. He had long flowing white hair, radiant penetrating eyes, which I could see despite the brightness and glory of the vision. Jesus, the focal glorified Lord of the heavens and the earth, was revealing His unambiguous directive, Sovereign Will, to me, wooing, calling this sinner, into His family, the heavenly, in-Christ, New Jerusalem church of which the apostle John wrote in the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

His face expressed a character of pure love and obvious majestic God-power. I fell to my knees, trembling, crying out, “Lord, oh Lord, I know you are out there and alive; now teach me everything I need to know. I want to know you, and I want to understand my purpose in your will.” The very next day, an invitation to an evangelistic series came in the mail.

After several evenings of illuminating preaching, along with a daily snippet from a gospel film, I was moved to the degree that I fell totally in unified love with Jesus (the person, not bound by religion) and was baptized without hesitation.

My vision confirms Isaiah’s reference that Paul quotes regarding how the Lord would reveal himself to the undeserving: “I was found by people who were not looking for me. I showed myself to those who were not asking for me.” (Romans 10:20) Joel 2:28 reveals that visions do occur: “I will pour out my Spirit upon all people…your young men will see visions.
