Decades Of My Life" http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2007/stepheny102-1.htm
“One year later on October
3, 1988, on the Jewish Holiday of renewal and rebirth, Shemini Atzeret, Yeshua
(Jesus) revealed Himself to me in a series of
visions and dreams, and I was born again”
Thank you for sharing your
testimony with us. I was so thrilled to hear that you, too, hand a series
of visions and dreams when you came to the Lord. I come from a Hindu
background, and I was exposed to some end-time Christian preachers in ’86,
and took me another 6 yrs before I gave my heart to the Lord. In ’92,
a couple of months before I was born-again, the Lord gave me a vivid vision of
my whole family kneeling down to Him. Still my two brothers and their
family are staunch Hindus, but I know the Lord will fulfil His promise to our
family. That year I was separated and that very day, the Lord came and
touched me in my room But I was too distraught and confused to see that
it was the Lord who came and touched me. It took me another month before
I gave my heart to the Lord along with my mum of 70 yrs, my son of 9.
That year the Lord gave me
beautiful visions and dreams and once he actually gave me the experience of
going up in the rapture with my mum and my son. This year I had couple of
dreams and I was so sure the rapture would be soon; either for Pentecost
and Rosh Hashanah but I was sorely disappointed. It is very lonely for
us, for we can neither mix with our relatives or old friends and nor with
the lukewarm Christians from my country (Sri Lanka), who are not born-again,
but call themselves Christians. There is a great chasm between their way
of thinking and ours and it is be very difficult to move with them. I
long for the rapture for my mother is 86 and my son is going to be 25, this
5th Oct. With all these disappointments, I came to a
point of doubting all the visions I had, now your testimony has given me a
renewed strength in my faith and belief.
Thank you and God bless you
