I’ll tell you about my real life, face to face encounter with Them. I love Them.

One day, early in the morning, I was lying in my bed and saw, with closed eyes, a light and a clouded heaven. I was in awe of this nice warm situation, where suddenly our Father God appeared. He stood in front of me and laid His left hand on my right shoulder. It was very powerful and He looked into my eyes. The words He spoke to me changed my life; He called me by my name! He said: “Eckhardt, you mustn’t fear, only trust”. That left me feeling paralyzed for the rest of the day.

The next morning, 24 hours later, I got exactly the same picture. Once again, I was lying in bed and saw, with closed eyes, a light and the clouded heaven. Yet again, I was totally amazed. In the distance, a person came nearer and nearer into sight. The person moved, without taking any visible steps as He “walked” towards me. As he drew closer, He opened His arms and showed me His hands. I was suddenly paralyzed and remember thinking: “Hey man, stop it!!! I know who You are... I know You!! You are Jesus!!!! Stop it, hey... it´s okay... I’m not “Thomas” [the unbelieving Thomas]”

He then disappeared, the same way He showed Himself to me, by smoothly moving out of sight, back into the light of heaven, like His Father. Our all Father God.

I didn’t understand His message to me. I often thought about it at length, trying to make sense of it all. About 10 years later, while listening to a Pastor preach, I received the answer. God spoke to me through Pastor Chris. It was God himself, who sent His Son on that light-filled morning especially to me. He is by my side. He surely will lead me all the days of my life. Isn’t that a fantastic thing to know!? Jesus by my side, every day!

“I wish for you to have Jesus by your side too. Follow Jesus and have a G(o)od time!”
