LEE ARNE's JESUS ENCOUNTER
​I know Satan can masquerade as an angel of Light and I know many people have false dreams or visions of Jesus however I do not believe my encounter was one of them . There was Just to much information that I later found out to back it up with scriptures and resources.
Although my Jesus encounter happened in 1991,when l was 23. Its obvious  that JESUS never gave up on me .He pursued me until I completely understood and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior and I am glad He never gave up on me.The more time goes by I am blessed to feel Him more and more everyday, especially in the last 5-6  years.I was 23 years old.I had been praying and repenting for some poor choices in my life during those days and l really wanted to know Jesus was hearing me.
I was not a Born Again Christian ,and had limited biblical understanding ,however I did believe in God/Jesus .l have  never had a problem believing in Jesus.

So going back to the time of the encounter....
I went to bed like any other normal evening.It was not like a regular dream .When you have a regular dream you are aware it is a dream. This was different.
God has given many people dreams and visions while sleeping- 

Example-Daniel 2:28
However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will take place in the latter days. This was your dream and the visions in your mind while on your bed.

​
So  in this dream... I was hiking up a mountain .I was with 2 other people ( men) who were lagging behind me chatting away .I didnt know them in real life but in this dream we were all close.  I feel one of them is my husband  now ,But l did not  know him then.
note-Mountains are mentioned frequently in the Bible because they dotted the landscape where the stories in the Bible take place. As a result, mountains and hills are mentioned more than 500 times in Scripture. Mountains have a logical religious symbolism for Jewish and Christian cultures since they are “closer to God” who dwells in the heavens (as in the sky). As a result, God often reveals himself on a mountaintop in the text.

I notice the sky..
The clouds were swirling ​around and around in one spot,  in an inward circular motion .Then the clouds began to part an open up to appear like a hole in the sky.
Jesus was coming down within the clouds .
 His arms were outstretched toward me. Just like when you put your arms out to a child,and they run into your arms.
I was looking up at Him in the clouds and suddenly and with a force my knees buckled and I hit the ground on my knees very hard and yet felt no pain.  I was on my knees before Jesus .I was suddenly in the presence of the Lord and the power l felt was overwhelming .  It felt like a natural response to the sheer power of his presence and being before Him. My hands automatically went in front of my chest in prayer position . I  was lifted up and was standing in front of Him.  Face to Face.
At this point I wasn't aware of my surroundings and only aware of Him being in front of me. I was in the clouds to -everything was all white around us. Something felt different though- it didnt feel like I was in the clouds , but rather in a different realm.  From that point on of my surroundings , I was just focused on Jesus.

He introduced Himself 
I AM YESHUA- This is how my mother called me.
( back then at 23 I had only ever heard his name as Jesus , not Yeshua)

He continued...
 "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
( John 14:6)

He was smiling and He had the most beautiful eyes id ever seen . So much light within them and they were clear. There was just something about the eyes and l find it very hard to explain but they were so magnificent and emanated love  and kindness.
He was wearing a white long loose garment and some kind of sash around the waist.I have seen the shroud of Turin in a book and was startled when I first saw it. ( See link below ) It was the face of Yeshua , that is His face that I saw. It was exactly the same face. Jesus in my encounter had Medium to dark brown wavy shoulder length hair ,a slight reddish tinge seen in the light, longer face and a defined brow bone. A bump in the ridge of his nose,the tip receding down. His EYES were amazing! They were FULL OF LIGHT .  -Jesus knows who and all that you are when he looks at you with His eyes.  It was the thing that was most special about him.When he looked at me , He could see all of me , every thing I was He knew it . There was no hiding any part of me. 

And I knew Him !! ,...........and yet I've never met Him but yet I knew Him .He felt so familiar to me . I felt so so so close to Him .Even closer than you feel to your own KIDS, He LOVED ME , and I felt His LOVE for me.He knew every part of me, my every thought ,need and all my pain. 
IT was Incredible.
I always remember this when I need to. 
During our conversation I was crying tears of joy from this overwhelming LOVE I was feeling .I cant describe it . 


He was talking and I listened .Every word  He was saying was the TRUTH.I could feel it within me.
Every question I had at that moment ,was answered in an instant in my mind ,as soon as I had the thought of the question .
But not only answered the question it gave me more information to make me the picture as  a whole. Its hard to explain in words what im trying to convey here but if I tell you it was like this analogy of a jigsaw puzzle. If the answer to the question was like  ONE piece to that puzzle , then I didn't just get that piece -He gave me the whole puzzle . I could see how everything related to it ( the question)
 I would like to say about this information  that was given ,I got the revelation that  it is clear we do not know ,in our human wisdom and understanding  , but GOD has a plan....A bigger and greater plan than we are aware of. And His plan was " perfect" and " Good"  and had a reason for everything, and that it all makes sense in the end.That is what it was. 

Things discussed were -The church - We are His church and it was not about Rituals and Dogma but a relationship with Him. He was expressing His hurt at people that use His name and yet living in iniquity .When He talked about this I could see tears going down his face. He was so grieved by it. At that time i thought it was about the Catholics and the Catholic Church -It could have been - The false Prophets and the sinful deeds behind the closed curtains? OR It could have been a warning to me about my path l was on at the time or in the future...
I didn't know this at the time , but all the years after but yet before l returned to the Lord as a born Again Christian renewed and washed clean  by Jesus Christ ,l feel like he could have been saying this  about me. Because he knew l would take that dark path and fall away and follow New Age and occult practices. Which i did and end up in a fine mess ,of spiritual warfare which lead me in great desperation to seek His face , and to Seek his forgiveness.

We talked about Eyes and the light of the eyes and the scripture below is what the conversation was about.  Incidentally ive always been able to tell more about a person via their eyes.He mentioned something about Rods and cones . Id never heard of it at that time , however  l found out some details after the internet which shows us that the Rods and Cones are what access your eyes to absorb "light"and refract "light". I have put a link at the here.

Our conversation had  something to do with Light IN THE EYES- Yeshua was highly intelligent , spoke in parables and His wisdom was immeasurable which had a great affect on me.( some  of our conversations I didnt understand , or know why He was talking about certain subjects until years  Years later, and only then it makes perfect sense)

 I was  find this  verse in the bible which clarified to me what He was saying.
Matthew 6:21-23 
The eyes are the Light within the body 
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!…

Recounting more of our conversation ...Yeshua he spoke about a Golden Thread .
​This is the most beautiful story He gave me and I couldn't have dreamt this up myself.

He held in his hands outstretched toward me a GOLDEN CLOTH.He was presenting me this cloth and showing me this beautiful Golden Cloth .
The cloth was of a Royal quality and it seemed to be shimmering like the threads had light within them.
He talked about this  Golden Cloth which seemed so majestic. I could see  the golden threads that weaved this cloth together .
He then preceded to pull one of the threads out with his fingers, and show me this thread ,and He talk about this thread .
​I could see it shimmering in the light ,as if this thread was woven with real gold that sparkled as the light shone on it .
He pulled apart that one thread which was made up of  3 tightly spun fibres woven together . 
He was telling a story that if you take this thread and remove it ,by pulling  the whole thread out of the cloth  ,the cloth will begin to fray and over time the cloth will fall apart. It will become destroyed and damaged .
He said the threads all weaved together holds this CLOTH, (this royal golden Cloth)  altogether.
He was using this story to show me - He is the thread
It is HE that  that keeps everything altogether and whole and complete.
And the Three fibres that made up the one thread -I believe it represents Father , son and the Holy spirit as one.
This Story He showed me was like spiritual poetry

Only years later l found some interesting things on the internet about "The Golden Thread".
As you can only imagine , when l find these resources that confirm everything to me and what Jesus said ,I am completely overjoyed.

​
Jesus told me about  mathematics and codes in the bible ( the living book) and the book is "encoded" with many codes. This was 5 years before the first bible code was discovered by Michael Drosnin and his book was published in 1998. I remember I saw this book in the book store and I nearly fell over . IT confirmed once again that Jesus knew and that My vision is real.  that Jesus said there is mathematics behind   everything . He showed me mathematical equations when He spoke about this but I wasnt good at mathematics at school and I couldn't comprehend a lot of that conversation,but the bible code topic I do remember.  He spoke some time on this topic. 

 In the same  way he gave me instant knowledge like i explained in the beginning of this chapter, He showed me the many changes coming to my life and it seemed my life would be split into 2 sections. The first part of my life and the second part of my life.  I would have a new second part of my life with a different person and my life would be changed and  different in ways . I would be more fulfilled and happy, but He said in many ways it would be harder and there would be persecution.
I didn't understand this then But I can tell you now , both my Husband and I came to Jesus and became Born Again Christians and I can tell you my life is completely different the the first half.
Id like to share I always thought i would die at around the age of 48-50 for some strange reason , But it is at that time that the second part of my life begun .I became the born again Christian and changed by Jesus Christ and the Old me did die  ,just like l always felt but didn't die in the sense of earthly physical death ,but my old life died , and Jesus gave me NEW LIFE.
 Jesus also told me I would be persecuted for His name sake ( I didn't like that part) nor did l understand it then.And it has happened I can tell you many times.
I also sensed a calling and working with people but at that time of age 23 - i had no idea what that will be.

As this vision ended ,I came too, and I was on my bed, on my knees ,just like I was on my knees when I first saw Him.
I had  tears of Joy running down my face. It was so compelling . I was really amazed and felt cherished and loved by Him 
 As i told everyone , No-one really believed me and I felt crushed .I felt persecuted already.
It was approximately 5 am or so when I woke. It felt to me like I was with Him for many hours and I cant tell you how long it was exactly.
I was so excited to share this with people and members of my family. 
This was not a dream l told them .  ( I have never ever had  a dream)  like this before. It was profound and I felt something I've never felt before.

After this vision I became more aware of  Jesus and talked about Him all through my life .
I felt like he touched my life and He SAW ME . 
When i began to tell people and family about this amazing experience...I was shocked by the reactions that I got. Its like they just brushed it away..."go away it was just a dream ."
No one seemed interested.
NO one. 
I felt bruised. Didnt you all want to hear what Jesus  said? ...hello ...is anyone there?
The reactions shocked me and it made me distant. That was the first sign of persecution that I had come to know because no one believed or really cared at all. 

Much later that I took a wrong turn and I feel it was because I had not fully committed to Christ at this time.I  was like the Prodigal son to some degree who went off and wandered into unfamiliar territory ,of New age and occult.I had a thirst for knowledge and just like Eve i bit into that forbidden fruit of knowledge of good and evil unbeknownst to me at the time...wandered off instead of reading the bible after my vision to get to know this wonderful Jesus more .

My roots were never planted properly  in rich soil where the roots go deep and firmly set you in place ,so that tree  can weather any storm, and that tree wont budge.

And now I can see this vision was about me...falling away from Jesus .And yet I was searching for answers of life's most difficult questions.I was searching for Truth and asking for Jesus , but I wasnt ready to commit to him then.  I was ignorant to think He had already given me what l needed ,and yet like us humans do, we continue to search, when all along its all right there the whole time.
Jesus is right there waiting for YOU.

He was there the whole time through my life. waiting for me to come to Him and never leave again.

Know that I know him intimately now , I can look back on my life and  say He was there then , and there , and there. 
He is always there. You dont notice when your in Sin because He is separated via the sin. BUt He is there waiting for you to chose Him.

​
I often feel emotional when I listen to other people's testimonies about their encounter with Jesus and the tears flow because when they talk about it , I know exactly what they mean and how they felt. 

Testimonies are a great way of sharing REAL life stories and experiences ,an even better when they lead us to Christ.

On the left in THE SHROUD OF TURIN , said to be the Burial cloth of Christ-
ON the right is a lifelike representation of Jesus based on the Shroud.
​It is about 99% accurate according to my encounter This is how He looked.
