I gave my life Jesus seven years ago. There is nothing to tell about my life before, except that this was a process to go with Jesus. Because three years before that happened I decided for myself to go with that what the Bible says for my life.

This year during a holiday, I saw something, that was so great for me, I never imagined that happens. I was in a city by the sea. When I was got up in the morning, I go downstairs in my hotel to ask for breakfast. It was over. So I take my package, I want left to another city, and left. I was looking for having breakfast. I went to the harbor. Nobody I've seen on the street. Then in the harbor, I've seen very wondering sight. Its a ship, it was a sailor ship. Its look like one which are actual 500 - 700 years ago. I was surprised. I wondered by myself to see such one old ship in this harbor. In a look at the ship, the wind-blowing-sails (? sorry for English) are down, and it looks that nobody was on it. It was maybe 200 meters away from my standing. I wanted to take a photo. But then I thought, I would go to the other side of the harbor, where it is landing, and then I take a photo in better position. I've seen always nothing on the street. I saw a possibility for breakfast and went there. Sitting down I was waiting for the server. At this time I was the only guest. The server was only come as others after maybe 10 min came. I ordered and then I eated. Maybe 40-50 min are gone meanwhile. Then I stood of to have a look at the ship I wanted to photo. I am surprised another time! It wasn't no more there. I feel hurry. Where the ship? Is it sailing out? I looked to the sea. Nothing! I looked a second time to the place where it was before. Nothing! A bit sad not having a photo of it, I take my photo and took pictures of all it has been available.

So it was impossible, I think, that in 40-50 min. the ship-people go to it, there taking sails up, and shipping away so far, that I cannot see more. I believe it was a sight in a time maybe 500 years ago. A nice present from Jesus to me and I say thank you to the Lord for so much great thing. "For men isn't available, but God can do anything."

A Vision of Heaven Changed My Life
Robert Sornsen
New Buffalo, Michigan
On December 26, 1989, I was travelling along East Road in Lakeside, Michigan, when a snowplough pulled out into my lane. I was going between 45-50 miles per hour and when we collided my 1985 Ford LTD was totalled. I was rushed to the Memorial Hospital in St. Joseph, Michigan, where the emergency room personnel struggled to save my life.
As I lay there, a product of a terrible home life and an atheist at heart, something like an out-of-body experience occurred. I appeared to be in a dark place that was endless with no floor, walls or boundaries. I felt a very evil, cold, and scary presence far behind me. Whatever it was, I knew I didn't want anything to do with it. It was pulling me towards it. I was completely terrified and I ran in terror.

I saw a great light in this world of darkness. I moved towards this light and a figure appeared at a distance. I froze in fear. I crouched and started to tremble. When I looked up, a tall man about 6'3" or 6'4" with a white robe and a gold sash was standing in front of me. He was of the greatest power I had ever imagined and more. I couldn't see his face because his eyes were the brightest light I had ever seen, ten times the sun's intensity.

I asked if there was a heaven. The man, who I now recognized as Jesus, could have just said "yes" and because of his power and glory I would have believed Him, but instead He transported me to heaven. I appeared in an open field and expected to feel the wind sweep all around me. But there was no wind, just gospel music. I never liked gospel music before but at that moment it was by far the most beautiful music I had ever imagined.

I looked around and it was like daytime but there was no sun. I thought that was strange and Jesus appeared again. He said, "Come see the light." He led me through Heaven. He knew my every thought. We walked side by side. Jesus was talking and I looked at Him from a side view and His eyes were like red flames. He said, "Do not be frightened. I am in spiritual form as you are."

I looked at my body and there was no fat and my feet and legs were dangling as we moved. I was floating off the ground. I looked up and we were passing through a lot of gigantic mansions that were so beautiful that it seemed like everything on earth I had ever seen was black and white. Everyone working on the mansion were in a big hurry like they were expecting a lot of people very soon. As we walked past the mansions, one of the workers stopped and waved to me and the overwhelming sense I got was that this place is home.

We walked on and Jesus said, "There is the light you wanted to know about." I looked and the image I saw was more than any words can describe. I saw a castle with light coming from it 1,000 times the intensity of the sun. This light was more than words can describe. Even though it was so bright, it didn't hurt my eyes. It was warm and brought to mind every good feeling I ever had plus other feelings beyond imagination. It was everlasting and I knew I would never forget it or grow accustomed to it if I lived there.

I also knew that through this light I would never be tired or sick. We entered the castle. Everything inside was perfect. I saw many statues and paintings. It got brighter and brighter as we moved through the castle. It was the same light from before. As we came upon a doorway, the light became more intense. I didn't look into it. I tried to see what was in the room. I saw some chairs and steps leading up to the throne of God. I looked up into His light and in an instant was transported back to the same place where Jesus first met me. He was there and He said, "I am the truth, the light, and the only way."

I came back from that experience to spend 20 hours in that emergency room. My life would never be the same. Months later, after recovering, I found my way to the Lighthouse Village Church of God where I committed my life to Christ. I'm serving Him and working in the church, sharing with others my testimony. That glimpse of heaven changed my life. I plan to return there as a member of the redeemed!
