A few years ago in Australia I did early childhood trauma therapy using IFS therapy. It was a deeply spiritual therapy with Christ that changed my life. Soon after I received 4 visions of Christ, all of them after deep meditation or in nature without my phone to distract me. I was not striving to have these visions nor does it make me special or better than anyone. 🙏🏻
First Vision; the Crucifixion
I turned off my phone and walked to the end of the street to watch the sunset over the mountains. I was living in rural Australia at the time so there was lots of trees and open farm land with mountains in the background. As I was walking to the viewpoint, suddenly Christ appeared on the cross while I was meditating with the Buddha. It was as if I was truly transported back 2000 years ago. The Buddha turned to me and asked “what can you learn from this” and God spoke to me “the more you surrender to God’s love, the more you are resurrected in Christ.” In this vision, I watched Jesus die on the cross and be resurrected. At this point I am weeping in pure joy and emotionally overwhelmed by the deepness of this vision. For as long as I live, I will never forget this day.
2nd Vision; Being Crucified with Christ
This vision happened a days after the first vision. I was in deep meditation and I suddenly was on the cross next to Christ in the Crucifixion scene. After a minute of repentance out of love for God for my sins Christ appeared right under me and took me off the cross and said to me “you don’t have to die (physically) for your sins”. I felt a deep love and grace within me as I cried. I had no idea of the end of the gospels where the thieves are on the cross with Jesus. In this vision I was being crucified for my gambling. After this vision, I felt like a free man with no shame or guilt for my past. Like I had never gambled before. Praise God 🙌
Then Jesus said unto His disciples, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.”
3rd Vision; Turn the Other Cheek
After another deep meditation, I had a 3rd vision. In this vision, I was on the ground while a few men were kicking and beating me . Christ was right next to me just saying “turn the other cheek” over and over as the men beat me. In this moment, I felt like a true disciple of Christ which filled me an overwhelming joy and peace.
“But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.“
4th Vision; The Bride of Christ
In deep meditation, I had one more profound vision of Christ. If you didn’t know, I found Christ through a Zen Master named Thich Nhat Hanh 11 years ago. In this vision, the Buddha was walking with me and holding my hand on an open field. As we walked Christ appeared and the Buddha gently handed me off to Jesus. Then I walked hand in hand with Christ. This one touched my heart deeply because the Buddha will always have a special place in my heart as I walk with Christ. I had no idea of the passages in the Bible about us being the bride to Christ. Truly, the Kingdom of God is within you. 🙏🏻
