Vision of Heaven
00:03:08

|
| You had this vision, I believe, at the International House of Prayer, one of the first times you went to heaven. | |
| Can you talk about that? | |
| Oh my goodness, it was the very first time. | |
| It's still one of my most favorite because in that vision, I got to go to heaven and I saw Jesus. | |
| I want to tell you, when I saw him, I knew him. | |
| Jesus is the chief among 10,000. | |
| Jesus is the darling of heaven. | |
| And when you see him, you understand that the maker made you with a plan and a purpose. | |
| And while I was in heaven, God himself rewrote who I am. | |
| You know, I went to heaven, Pastor. | |
| I was suicidal. | |
| I was struggling with all kinds of things. | |
| And God knew right where I was. | |
| And he was willing to come and get me right there. | |
| And that's who he is. | |
| He wants to come and get you and bring you into his heart. | |
| And when he said my name, the king of glory said my name. | |
| He said it with so much love. | |
| Lori, we have an amazing name, the two of us. | |
| And when he said my name, he said it with so much love and affection. | |
| And I knew, I knew that I must be important. | |
| And I'll skip to the part that really was the clincher for me. | |
| You know, God wanted me to give him my pain, but I didn't know how to give God pain. | |
| I thought he must want cigarette smoking. | |
| And I was smoking three and a half packs of cigarettes a day. | |
| And so I thought, no, I can't do this. | |
| There was a part in the vision where he turned himself into like a movie theater. | |
| And I was watching Jesus dance with this bride of his that he loved so much. | |
| And I watched it and I watched it and I watched it. | |
| And the more that I watched, I took in every detail of it. | |
| These eyes of fire that are so in love with his bride. | |
| And he would dance her. | |
| And as the darkness would come and try and touch her, his eyes turned into a fire that would push back this darkness. | |
| I realized something. | |
| I need to be loved like that. | |
| There's only one thing that I need, and I need Jesus Christ to love me just like that. | |
| And when I looked at her ankles, I realized it is me. | |
| It is me. | |
| And you know what? | |
| Once I knew how much God loved me, it's easy to give God everything. | |
| It's like I can trust him. | |
| You know, I can't trust anybody the way that I can trust Jesus Christ. | |
| And when he put his forehead to my forehead, he rewrote what I think about myself. | |
| And you know what I think about myself now? | |
| I'm important. | |
| I'm needed. | |
| I'm wanted. | |
| I'm loved. | |
| I'm special. | |
| I am the bride of Christ. | |
| And so can you be too. | |
| If you'll give everything, you got to give everything to the King of Kings. | |
| Oh, it was awesome. | |
