A TRUE EXPERIENCEby Florence Steiner
Several Easter's ago I sat alone watching the news on television. As always, the news was about killings. A mother has recently killed her three children, a man killed his infant child, drive-by shootings, etc. etc. This has been an every day occurrence on the news besides what is going on in other countries. It is happening here. It is happening here where we were taught that Jesus died for our sins. I began to cry!!!! I opened up my heart and talked out loud to our Father and said "If Christ died for our sins Father he died in vain; I don't understand".
I got up and went into my bedroom and I knelt down at the corner of my bed and looked up at the crucifix on the wall that used to belong to my father who is now deceased. I was actually sobbing. Unexpectedly, the next thing happened:
I heard a voice in the room with me. It was loud, masculine and deep. It said "Your sins are your own". For some unknown reason now, I was not afraid. I look back now and wonder why I wasn't afraid for after all, I should have been afraid hearing a voice in the room with me. When I heard "Your sins are your own, I questioned by saying"But all the religions teach that Christ died for our sins".
The voice spoke again and said "The religions are wrong, He died so that ye can live". To tell the truth, it was the first time it made sense to me for I could never understand how a human can hurt another human and Christ took care of that long ago. It would be like saying we have freewill to commit any crime we want and not be accountable. I knew before the crucifixion that it is in the Bible that Christ said two things to His disciples before his death and that was "Love Ye One Another and Keep Thy Commandments".
We in human form seem to fail many times on both. I always felt that a little smile at a total stranger in the grocery store is a form of showing love and I do it often. I noticed that some people smile back but many times they look at you like you are crazy. Now, here comes the good part. I recently found a in the Bible that what the voice told me that Easter was true and I will quote it for you. I found it in 1 Corinthians, Chapter 15, verses 12 though 14 and also very important, Chapter 15, verses 20 thorough 23:
Chapter 15, Verse 12 through 14 says: "Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith also vain?
Chapter 15 Verse 20 through 23 ( THE PROOF): But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ's in His coming".
The next day I was washing clothes and going into my bedroom with a clothes basket in hand when something caught the corner of my eye. I thought my necklace with a cross on it must have fallen off me. I walked over to take a closer look and I saw a bright yellow plastic cross laying on the floor where I had knelt down the day before. I picked it up. I knew the answer but I still had to check it out and see if I had anything, anything at all yellow plastic in my apartment.
I checked my granddaughter's toy box that was in a closet at the other end of my apartment. I checked my walk-in closet in my bedroom. No where, no where at all did I have anything made out of yellow plastic. I put the cross in a ring box where I keep it on display to this day. I can't believe anything that this is a sign that I wasn't hearing things and also the message I received did not come from Satan like some people believe.
I have shared it with some of my friends and they feel some kind of energy from it when placed in their hand. I, personally, do not fear Satan, so I don't put to much trust that what we human beings do wrong while in the human body is from Satan but our own freewill God has given us. The deed is ours alone and it is to easy to take ourselves off the hook, so to speak, by blaming our bad actions on Satan.
