Jesus Came to Me in Person Part 3
A testimony by Terry Dean
"I HAVE TAKEN YOUR SOILED RAGS AND GIVEN YOU A ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS"
He replied, "I have taken your soiled rags and given you a robe of righteousness. I will give you the power and the boldness, and I will go before you. I will open the door and you will enter in and the rivers will be full and the shade shall be plenty."
I asked, "Why me, Lord?"
He said, "You are a tree I have been pruning and trimming for my purpose and glory. Now tell the people I gave them this message. I have sent you and if they know Me they will receive you because you are of Me and we are the same, and if they receive you not it is because they know not Me who sent you, and if they know not Me who sent you they will be damned. I am your God and besides Me there is no other. I have life in My hand. I the Lord have spoken it.”
After this visitation happened, I wrote it down immediately and it has not changed. The events are still the same as from the beginning. It is important for all to know that I did not see God. I saw a vision of what God wanted me to see, just like Moses saw the burning bush. Moses did not see God; he only saw what God wanted him to see in his vision. If Moses or myself or anyone else actually saw God we would be dead just from the glory.
Now I want to take you back to the remainder of the vision:
The Lord said, "I am He. When you come to My throne you bring with you fear in one hand and trembling in the other hand. Do not bring with you idle talk or children’s games, for there is a fierce war in heaven and earth. After you enter into the kingdom then we will rejoice and be glad, but for now bring with you fear and trembling."
Then He pointed down at the diagram on the small table and said, "Here you are … standing in front of many people, and you will do very good for a time and reaching many. You will stand and your ministry will stand, and right here you will leave and go straight through the gates of the kingdom and enter into the Kingdom. Your robe is already there waiting for you, and your crown is there also.”
Now the next thing I remembered, we are back in the cab of the semi-truck. He is standing to my right and I was driving just like before we went into His temple. The truck was not stopped or pulled over at any time. It was now 4:30 am. I was amazed and crying and thinking of all He had told me.
Then He said, "I am going into My temple." Then He turned into that stream of energy again and flowed into my chest again.
We did not talk for the next hour, but the music was still coming out of me. The music was loud. It was not of this world. It was so beautiful and sounded like singing angels -- maybe 10 or 15 of them.
Around 6:00 am I was wondering if He was still in me so I said, "Lord God”, and He said, "I am here."
I drove until about 7 o'clock and arrived at my delivery and pick-up point in Coalinga, California at I-5 highway and 198 highway. I arrived three minutes early and traded trucks with the driver from the south from Fontana, California.
I started my return trip at 7:15 am. Now as I was driving, I would remember parts of what happened, so I would pull over and write them down. I pulled over many times on the way back.
About one hour before I arrived back at the Willows terminal I was thinking of Wayne. Wayne was a close relative of mine. I was just talking out loud to myself, saying, "Wayne will never believe what is happening to me". Then the Lord said, "Tell Wayne it doesn't matter if he believes or not; it won't change the work I am doing in You." I said, "Ok Lord, I will tell him.”
Now when the Lord spoke from inside me, He sounded like many lions roaring at the same time, yet at other times He sounded as soft as a lamb.
I arrived back at the truck terminal in Willows at 12:30 pm. I got in my car and started driving home. When I got to Oroville, California I stopped at Wayne's home to tell him what had happened and told him what the Lord said to me. I was right – he had trouble believing any of this -- even though he was a man of God.
Little did I know that Wayne would be killed in a freak accident one month later, but God was with him, and he is with the Lord even as you read this.
I left Wayne's and started home. I was thinking: Does the Lord know what I am? Thinking and feeling, does He really know my hurts and pains? So I would ask Him.
I asked, "Lord?" He said nothing. I said, "Lord." He said nothing. By not answering I believed He was saying: Yes I know your thoughts, and how could you ask me -- God -- that?
So this was the only time He did not answer me. It meant a lot to me because this was a very stupid question.
