Jesus Appeared to Me When I was a Toddler

I would like you to take a moment to read this amazing testimony from a sister in Christ I know in Albania. 

Testimony of Sofia Rubati

Sofia writes:

"My testimony is that when I was around a year and a half old, my mom had put me for a midday nap, and as I was sleeping, something shook me, and I woke up. Suddenly there was blinding light in the room and a very big energy came around me. I could not see anything, but I heard a voice speaking to me, 'I love you. Do you accept me in your life?' And I nodded my head for yes, smiling. The reason I said, 'Yes' is because I felt a very big Love that covered me. 

"A prophetic preacher told me the age, because I was not sure. I had asked the Lord many times, and He sent me his answer through the preacher. 

"And then when I was eleven years old, Jesus appeared to me face to face. I could see a shape, and there was a blinding light coming from the head. He spoke to me through the Holy Spirit, and He told me 'One day you will have to give justice.' 

"Those are two of the most powerful moments of my life with Jesus.

Yours in Christ.

Sofia Rubati"

END OF SOFIA'S TESTIMONY

Video Testimony

When I was in Albania, preaching in the church that Sofia attends, I invited people to come forward for prayer if they wanted to receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire. Sofia was one of several people who came forward, and she was completely set free. She testified that after receiving the impartation of the Holy Spirit's fire (Mt 3:11; Lk 3:16), she felt completely free, and light like a bird, as well as the mighty power of the Holy Spirit flowing through her from head to toe; she felt love, peace, and joy unspeakable, which she said was the most wonderful feeling she had ever experienced. In fact, she said it was so wonderful that she felt like she was floating. Her testimony of that experience is recorded on video, so you can hear her say it in her own words.

Closing Words

I trust that Sofia's testimony has touched your life in a powerful way. 

"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all." (1Jn 1:5)

Jesus is real. He loves you, too. In fact, He loves you so much that it is as if He loves you more than anyone else, although He loves everyone that way. He wants to have a personal relationship with you. He wants you to know the Father, and to know Him, which is eternal life (Jn 17:3). His love is the only thing that can fill the God-sized hole inside your heart. 

"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." (1Jn 4:8)

Nothing and no one else will ever be able to fill that hole, only Him. He wants you to be with Him forever in heaven. Yes, heaven is real, and it's an amazingly wonderful place for those who truly know Him and have repented of their sins (Rev 21-22). 

Hell is real, too. It was created for the devil and his angels (Mt 25:41), but all who do not believe in Jesus will be condemned to that place also (Mk 16:16). That is the default destination for everyone on earth, since we are all sinners who have fallen short of God's glory and perfection. That's why God sent His Son Jesus Christ into this world to die on the cross for us to take our place and pay the penalty for our sins, so that everyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. You don't have to go to hell. But the choice is yours. God has given you a free will to decide for yourself whether to repent of your sin, accept His love, to accept Him into your heart as your Lord and Savior and be saved, or to reject the Son and perish. Which will you choose? I urge you to choose life!

"The man who says, 'I know him,' but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him.." (1Jn 2:4)

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe. 

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
