Here is a dramatic portion of Lynne's testimony that describes her encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ in an open vision . . . hope you enjoy this; I assure you: IT'S ALL TRUE ! ...
After I finally got enough rest I started studying for my Sunday school lesson. The teacher’s manual directed me to read the book of Esther in the Old Testament. I had never read this beautiful and inspiring story of a lady who was used to save her people from destruction. I was very touched by this Bible story and prayed that God might be pleased to use me in some small way. As I prayed and earnestly sought the Lord, I sensed an awesome presence of the Lord in the room where I was. Even in this house where I had also seen and sensed the powers of darkness operating, I could now greatly and unmistakably sense the power of GOD and the holiness of His Presence. Immediately, I got on my face and started to worship Jesus. His presence was very real and strong as I lay face-down on the floor. Then I raised my head and looked up. There, just a few feet in front of me stood the Saviour. It was Jesus! How do I know it was Jesus? He needs no introduction! His feet were like brass; He had sandals that were laced up His legs. He had on a long white linen garment of the finest linen I had ever seen. Across His chest down to His waist was a golden breastplate of the finest, purest gold I had ever seen. It was made in a ‘fleur de les’ design, and it was all so stunningly beautiful and awesome to behold! Jesus was just as John the beloved disciple had described Him in the book of Revelation. (tho I had not gotten that far in reading the Bible yet, so I didn’t know about that description until later)
I looked down at the floor and cried out, “Your righteousness, Lord, is too much for me!” I felt like a filthy rage at His feet. He didn’t come to make me feel that way but the holiness that radiated from His whole being would make any mere human feel that way.
He spoke two words to me and only two,“Look up!” I answered, “I can’t Lord, Your righteousness is too much for me.” Then He spoke again, “LOOK UP!” This time His voice was like John had described it, "as the sound of many waters," with such overwhelming power and authority that I could not resist it. Then I looked up at the face of JESUS.
His hair was white, like wool, it reached His shoulders. His face shown with the glory and light of God and was so very bright and radiant that there was a thin veil suspended in mid-air between myself and His face, because I believe the brightness of His countenance would have literally blinded me. As He looked at me I felt a power of GREAT LOVE flooding my entire being; my broken heart was being healed. The balm of Gilead was being poured out upon me. My inner man was being strengthened with a healing power I had never known. All my fears were overcome as I beheld the majesty and power of the Creator and Lord of all. What a change was taking place inside of me! I knew that I would truly never be the same.
The visitation from the Lord only lasted a few moments and then He vanished from my physical sight but never ever from my memory. His words, “Look up!” have remained as my guide all my days from then even to this very moment. You can’t see Him, Jesus, The LORD YESHUA, in His magnificent glory, power and holiness and remain the same. I, who was so weak emotionally, so broken, wounded and rejected, who had been so sinful was touched eternally and irrevocably by one look from the Saviour Who literally upholds all things by the power of HIS WORD.
After the visitation and vision of Jesus I couldn’t sleep. My thoughts were overwhelmed with awe of what I had seen and experienced. When I finally was able to settle down for some sleep the strange noises and door slamming, etc. started to happen again and more than the night before and continued until dawn. Exhausted because of no sleep I took my few belongings and left the house and went and parked in front of Pastor Spann’s home. I fell asleep in my car. When I awoke and knew that the Spann’s were also awake I asked if I could come back and said that I’d rather sleep in my car than stay in the other home. I was accepted and also told that they knew that the house had spirits and groups from the church had gone there before to pray over that house. I was a little upset that they had not warned me first of this but I thought that maybe the Lord wanted me there, alone, so He could visit me as He did and touch me wonderfully with His Love. In any case, I had a new understanding of the power of the evil one but more than that I also had seen and experienced the glory and power of God in Jesus Christ, the eternal and risen Saviour.
