S4 94. Hospice Encounters – Near Death, Angelic Visitation & Epic Vision · Millennial Mustard Seed

0:01
Hello folks. This is Princess.
0:03
You are listening to the Millennial Mustard Seed Podcast.
0:06
Thanks for listening. Don't forget to share with your
0:09
friends. That's tough.
0:11
We're in a very tough spot. I think that what we're doing
0:15
right now is a great benefit and virtue because it's an end
0:19
around between this whole corrupt informational system,
0:23
media system. We claim to believe in a God who
0:27
spoke the universe into existence.
0:29
And literally raised himself from the dead.
0:32
And yet, we are not going to believe that anything else
0:35
exists in the spirit realm, even though His word tells us that
0:38
they do. Their bodies weren't permitted
0:41
to go to sleep like humans do, and they weren't permitted to go
0:45
to heaven, So they wander the. Earth.
0:49
You know. I've seen the eyes turn.
0:50
Black to unknown tongues being spoken, these giants would live
0:56
way up in the Highland. The young Braves, the young men
0:59
would hide him in the trees and wait for one of these 12 footers
1:02
to come walking down the path, and they would jump on him and
1:05
kill him, drag him back to the village and the village would
1:08
feast on the body. Freedom.
1:15
Then people start to get weapons.
1:16
They start to get armor, they start to build cities.
1:18
They start to fortify their cities.
1:20
Now God looks down and there's violence everywhere.
1:24
The battle, this war that we are at, is not against each other.
1:28
It's against these principalities and these rulers
1:30
and these archons in the high places.
1:32
It's really worthwhile to read the Bible yourself.
1:35
Fear is one of the primary drivers of mind control, because
1:40
we have to take every thought captive and resist fear.
1:47
You're going to have a testimony that is a justice case against
1:52
the Kingdom of Darkness. Welcome back to the Millennial
2:06
Mustard Seed Podcast. I'm your host, Rod.
2:08
And thank you for being here with me for another awesome
2:11
episode. Now this is an interview I did
2:15
on Hospice Encounters, Piercing the Veil with Marie.
2:18
She has an awesome podcast where she dives into Hospice
2:22
encounters literally sharing stories from the R NS
2:25
perspective. People that may have survived or
2:28
just all the unique experiences of people that are leaving this
2:31
temporary earthly vessel and moving on to the next realm.
2:35
She reached out to me. She wanted to interview me on
2:38
her show. She's been listening to the
2:40
Millennium Muscle Seed for a while now.
2:42
So I hope you guys enjoy this. I know I've talked about my near
2:45
death encounter a lot recently, but I do jump into a bit more
2:49
than the near death encounter in this cool short episode.
2:53
Here I talk about my daughter Sienna's experience a little bit
2:57
more in depth, I guess you could say.
2:59
And I also share a vision that I had about four years ago, give
3:04
or take. So please go over to Hospice

By hearing from others encounters, no matter what
4:30
season you may be in. Welcome to Hospice Encounters.
4:35
Tonight we're going to Pierce The Veil with a testimony from
4:38
Rod Smith for Millennial Mustard Seed Podcast.
4:42
Welcome, Rod. It is an honor to be here with
4:46
you. Thank you for having me.
4:47
Yes, thank you. Well, I think I am going to just
4:52
let you take the floor and tell us your testimony.
4:57
Yes, so. The way it started with me is I
4:59
I didn't grow up in the church. We were Easter, Christmas
5:03
Christians, if I could say it like that.
5:05
And but I've always kind of had a supernatural life and so a few
5:08
things happened along the way. But one of the big things that
5:12
definitely fits your show is I had a near death encounter about
5:16
19 or 20 years old. I had gotten jumped by about 8
5:21
different guys at the time and it wasn't just a black guy.
5:24
They pretty much beat me into the ground.
5:27
And I guess you could say I was riding the veil, was didn't
5:31
cross all the way over to the other side.
5:34
But I started to have an out of body experience and that was a
5:38
really huge shifting point for me.
5:41
And I just want to say I really appreciate what you do here on
5:45
your podcast. I've listened to quite a few
5:47
episodes and this this is good because.
5:50
The PTSD and just holding in the experience can be difficult for
5:54
people to sort of have a place to air out experiences and talk
5:58
about some of the darker things that have happened.
6:01
And sometimes they're good stories.
6:03
I really appreciate that. Thank you.
6:05
Absolutely. But yeah, for me, Marie, it was,
6:08
it was interesting because I didn't really have a concept of
6:12
what would happen after afterlife here on this earth.
6:15
I I never really thought about it.
6:17
You know when you're young, we feel invincible, right?
6:20
We can do anything and and nothing can stop us.
6:23
And and that's kind of the mentality I had for a long time.
6:26
But I was definitely humbled. And during my near death
6:31
encounter, God really used that to open up my eyes to the fact
6:35
that there's so much going on, so many deeper things than just
6:41
growing up, living life, figuring out what to do with
6:43
your life, hanging out with your friends, all the stuff that a
6:46
late teen would be concerned with.
6:48
To recount the experience can be difficult at times.
6:51
I've shared it a few other times on air, OK?
6:54
And this is something that for years I didn't, I didn't really
6:57
talk about. It's kind of like everybody I
6:59
grew up with, they knew the story.
7:01
And then it just kind of became something where I was like,
7:03
well, it kind of hurts to go there because mine wasn't bright
7:06
light encounter, if you will, OK?
7:09
But I'll just dive into it here and so like I get jumped, I
7:13
have. Trauma to my face from this,
7:17
this encounter with these guys. It's it's very late, maybe 2:00
7:20
in the morning, and I remember just kind of fading out, you
7:24
know, I couldn't hear anything. I didn't really see anything.
7:28
And I just remember darkness. And then I was feeling like I
7:32
was leaving my body, which was really difficult for me because
7:35
I wanted to stay in my body. I did not want to leave.
7:39
And as I laid on the pavement. I started to sit up and then I
7:44
would go to sit back and fall through my body like down into
7:48
the asphalt and I remember thinking this is not right, I
7:52
don't want to leave my physical body.
7:54
It was a shock for me, being I never thought about this before
7:57
and everything happened so quick but it but it also feels like
8:00
time slows down and I'm caught in this weird place of trying to
8:05
sit perfectly within my physical body knowing that.
8:09
The essence of who I am for my pineal gland all the way down to
8:12
my solar plexus, the me, my sense of humor, my character, my
8:16
my energy. Me, right?
8:18
It's coming out of me and it was traumatizing and there's not
8:22
much more to it than that, you know?
8:24
I went to the hospital then and my brain swelled up and tapped
8:27
the inside of my skull. I didn't see any bright lights
8:31
during this experience. I didn't have any pain when it
8:34
was happening. I couldn't even say it was numb.
8:37
It kind of felt like being in water almost, Marie, like a
8:40
really super thin pressure. But it just the lingering
8:44
effects of that right 19 or 20 years old.
8:47
The PTSD that developed was really probably the hardest
8:51
thing for me to work through with my near death encounter.
8:53
The question mark what's really going to happen if I died?
8:57
I mean I should have died that night.
8:59
Where would have I went? Who am I really?
9:01
What am I really made of? These are all things that.
9:04
Just blasted into my young mind and it really changed my
9:07
direction of life, OK? It was a very interesting
9:11
experience for me. Well, let me ask you a few
9:13
questions. Since I'm a nurse, of course.
9:16
My brain thinks that way. Yeah.
9:20
Did you have any, Did you hear any voices?
9:22
I mean, as as these people, They beat you, but did.
9:25
So they probably left, left you alone, right?
9:28
Yeah. Did you hear anything that was
9:31
that's usually that one sense that we all kind of wonder, Did
9:34
you hear anything in the natural or in the supernatural?
9:38
Nothing, OK. It was dead silent and I can't
9:41
really remember where my hearing completely left.
9:44
I remember like hearing the commotion and obviously
9:46
screaming and you know, this was a house party that got crashed.
9:50
So there was quite a bit of people around when all the this
9:52
started OK, But when I entered into like this dark Gray.
9:57
Area where I was no longer in my physical body to be able to move
10:02
around and operate. I didn't hear anything.
10:04
Yeah, it was eerily quiet. Did you ask for help?
10:08
Did you say anything to yourself, or to to the
10:11
nothingness or? I had this very, very stubborn
10:16
feeling that I did not want to leave my body.
10:20
Nope, not going there. I had this feeling I I do not
10:23
want to leave my body. Not not coming out.
10:26
I didn't know it was, it wasn't like fear, but it was like, this
10:30
isn't the normal operation. And that's why I kept trying to
10:33
sit into my body, Marie, because it's like I I don't know the
10:36
function. I don't know where I'm supposed
10:37
to go, what's happening. It just happened so quick that I
10:40
remember being like, whatever happens, just stay right here
10:42
with your body, go back into your body.
10:44
That's that was the wrestling match.
10:46
And that is frightening to to those who haven't experienced
10:49
anything like that, to those who have.
10:52
But that's the fear, you know, to separate in what's what is
10:55
out there. How did that lead you to your
10:59
relationship, and I'm assuming a relationship with Jesus.
11:03
How did that change? When did things change for you
11:06
after you healed physically from this experience?
11:09
Yeah, it's quite a long and drawn out story.
11:12
I always tell everybody I didn't have like my Saul turns into
11:16
Paul moment. You know, nothing really
11:17
happened like overnight for me. It was just long process.
11:20
But I was dealing with the the bigger questions of life.
11:24
Now I wasn't very much interested in anything else
11:27
other than trying to work out this experience for quite a few
11:30
years. I'd say into easily my early
11:32
20s. I would read books, I looked
11:34
into different religions. You know, I read the Quran.
11:37
I read the Bible. I read.
11:39
You know about Hinduism and the Bhagavad Gita.
11:41
I mean, you name it. I was diving into all of this
11:43
different stuff just with this big question mark.
11:46
What's going to happen when I die?
11:48
No, no. I had some supernatural
11:49
encounters when I was younger and and had the inkling I always
11:52
knew that God was real, but I didn't really have like,
11:55
parameters, like how do I come to him?
11:58
How does this look? I mean, yeah, I find myself
12:01
surrendering my heart to Jesus in a very dark place.
12:06
And just saying to him, regardless of this outcome,
12:08
whatever happens, if you are who you say you are, meet me where
12:12
I'm at. Help me make sense of this.
12:14
I can't do this on my own. And and that's when the Bible,
12:17
the Rhema of the Bible started to jump for me.
12:20
The the living words started to become alive.
12:22
I started to feel there's so much more here than I've ever
12:26
been told. And it became this personal
12:28
relationship where just a year or two later I get baptized in
12:32
Jesus name and then I I start this process where?
12:35
And leaving many climaxes out, but just to kind of hit like the
12:38
30,000 foot view here, it led me to dealing with the strange and
12:42
the supernatural things, Not being afraid to go there.
12:45
You know, being like, well, this is my experience and God was
12:48
helping me work through, hey, there's other strange and
12:51
supernatural things that other people experience too.
12:53
And it just got me going deeper. Not needing a license from a
12:57
pastor or not needing other people to agree with me just
13:00
being like, you know what, God, this is weird.
13:02
I don't have a lot of answers, but.
13:04
But I want to dive into these deeper questions.
13:05
I want to dive into what your word says and and I'm going to
13:09
walk on this road with you and see where it goes.
13:11
And that kind of brings us to today.
13:13
Well, I want to dive into some of these supernatural
13:16
experiences because you're skirting around, but there must
13:19
be some experiences that you could share with my audience,
13:23
because I really want to help people understand that there is
13:26
a veil and that we get to go. It's not like we get to go
13:31
through it, but there's moments that it gets thin.
13:34
Yeah, this is very true. So.
13:36
So this is one I've only talked about briefly on my show and I'm
13:41
still wrestling through what to do with this.
13:43
But I was seven years old and my aunt, my dad's sister, my Aunt
13:47
Kanye, was living with us at the time and she was really into the
13:50
Bible. You're reading it, preaching the
13:53
word. She was really the only one in
13:55
the family that was like radical, like the Bible, you
13:57
know, and talking about the depths of the Scriptures.
14:00
But as a young 7 year old, I'm. Just sitting there playing with
14:03
the Batman toy and she's talking with somebody on the phone.
14:07
And back in the 90s, our phones, if you have younger listeners
14:10
had long 10 foot long curly cords on some of the house
14:13
phones, right, right. And I just remember her walking
14:16
around talking about Jesus and love and light and I was sitting
14:21
there and in my young 7 year old mind I said if a God like that
14:25
is real, I will serve him someday and.
14:29
Marie I In a split second I found myself up in the top right
14:34
hand corner of the room engulfed in light and I'm looking down at
14:40
my 7 year old self, looking at myself with this Batman toy and
14:44
I don't remember what was told to me.
14:46
I know it was important but I don't.
14:48
I don't remember what was told to me.
14:50
I just remember feeling comfort and warmth and feeling like
14:53
everything was going to be OK, Feeling like everything made
14:55
sense, but not knowing any of those details of.
14:58
That makes sense. It's like you got a supernatural
15:01
download, but you didn't get to keep the memories of it.
15:05
But you knew it's like you. It's like a flash, right?
15:09
Oh my gosh, yes. You remember the flash.
15:11
You remember it being bright, but you don't remember how
15:14
bright, how long. Maybe those things kind of
15:17
things. Yeah.
15:17
And I put it on the back burner and I would hold on to it
15:20
throughout life. It would just, I would be
15:22
reminded of it intermittently. And I just it was like this
15:25
ancient mystery and just wondering like.
15:28
Longing for, for understanding that, you know, And I would just
15:32
revisit that experience just in my own mind as years went on.
15:36
But I never really had anybody to talk to.
15:37
Like at 7 years old, I didn't have a language for that.
15:40
I didn't know how to explain it to people, right.
15:42
And even when I got older, by the time I'm 15 or 16, I'm
15:46
running around acting like a grown up.
15:48
And it wasn't the coolest thing to talk about amongst the
15:51
millennial generation at the time.
15:53
Absolutely not. But after the near death
15:55
encounter and then my daughter. Had a significant supernatural
16:00
encounter that helped helped me face face some things in life
16:03
too. And these different climaxes
16:05
really just solidified a a deeper faith within me.
16:08
So I'll I'll talk really quickly about my my daughter.
16:12
So I have a set of twins that will be 16 this coming year.
16:15
OK. And when my daughter Sienna and
16:18
my son Riley were about 2 1/2 or three years old, we were living
16:22
in Jacksonville, FL at the time and forgive me this one dusk.
16:25
Still get me pretty emotional, but.
16:28
It was a rough spot in life. I was not with their mother, but
16:32
I was living with the kids and working and her grandmother
16:36
favored me and was coming to babysit the kids.
16:39
And it was just the three of us. It was me and these two
16:41
beautiful, beautiful twins. And I'm still working through
16:44
PTSD at this time from the out of body experience in the in the
16:48
very early 20s. OK?
16:50
And one night my daughter wakes up and comes into my room very
16:55
late. I forget what time but.
16:57
Somewhere probably in between 1:00 and 3:00 AM And she's lit
17:00
up like a light bulb. My thoughts are, what are you
17:03
doing awake, kid? Like, what is going on?
17:05
She's smiling and glowing. And she says, Dad, Dad, they're
17:09
so beautiful. They're so beautiful, Dad.
17:12
And I'm going, what are you talking about?
17:14
So I jump up out of my bed. She came from her room across
17:17
the hall. And I'm looking around just
17:19
like, why? Why do you look like you've been
17:21
out running at the park? You know, like you're wide
17:23
awake. Like, what is going on?
17:25
I didn't hear you. None of this really makes sense.
17:27
And she just grabs my hand and says, Dad, they are so
17:30
beautiful. You should have seen them.
17:32
Dad, they're gorgeous. I was with them.
17:34
I was dancing and now I'm like, was somebody out front of her
17:37
window? What?
17:38
Like I just, I'm very in the simple place in my mind, like
17:41
check my doors, check my windows.
17:43
Somebody tried to steal my baby, you know, and I'm running around
17:46
and checking everything and she's going, no, no, Dad, Dad,
17:48
they're so beautiful. It's going to be OK And it that
17:52
kind of pricked me and I'm like, I get down lower.
17:55
Eye to eye with her. So I get down onto my knees and
17:57
I say, Sienna, what happened? And she was lit up like a little
18:02
light bulb, and she's smiling and she wanted to dance.
18:05
And she's. Dad, they're so beautiful.
18:07
It's going to be OK. They're so bright, Dad, they're
18:11
so bright. She's saying to me And she says,
18:14
God, heard your prayer, it's going to be OK And at this point
18:17
in time, I got punched in my gut.
18:19
Marie. I'm like.
18:20
What? We don't go to church.
18:22
I don't read the Bible with you like God.
18:26
I mean, you know, I'm like wrestling with what's going on
18:28
here during this time of life. And she says God heard your
18:31
prayer and it's going to be OK. So out of the mouth of a babe,
18:34
my daughter is telling me she has this experience with with
18:38
three beings that were super bright.
18:41
I remember pointing out the window at a street light at the
18:43
time because we lived in the city and saying Sienna bright
18:46
like that. And she said no, no, no Dad.
18:48
They're so bright. They're so beautiful.
18:50
She kept just saying how bright and how beautiful they were.
18:53
And she talks about these three beings that danced with her up
18:58
in the air above the house and they laughed with her and that
19:01
they were beautiful and that they wanted her to tell me it
19:05
was going to be OK weeks before that.
19:09
Because I had dealt with a lot of suicidal ideations from the
19:12
PTSD, depression, oppression, big time from.
19:16
The 1920 year old near death encounter experience and one
19:20
particular time that the kids weren't home and we had a storm
19:23
blowing and it was a bad storm in Florida.
19:27
The banana trees were blowing sideways, kind of storm.
19:30
I had the front door open and I was beating the ground and
19:33
screaming and crying out to God, if you're real, you got to
19:36
answer me. I can't keep going on this way.
19:39
I don't feel like I belong. I don't feel like I fit in.
19:42
I have this anxiety of like. What's going to happen when I
19:46
die? You know, just continual
19:48
discomfort at that time in life. And I just.
19:51
I just cried and yelled out to God.
19:53
Answer me, are you real? I'm trying to pick up a Bible.
19:57
I'm trying to read. I'm inquiring about you.
19:59
I just yelling to him, I'm no good.
20:01
But but are you good like they say you are?
20:04
And little did I know, God would use the mouth of a babe to
20:08
confirm this just a few weeks later through this.
20:12
Angelic encounter that my my daughter had.
20:14
Wow, that's awesome. And these are, these are the
20:18
climaxes. And This is why I am who I am
20:21
today. This is why I dive into the
20:22
weird. This is why I love listening to
20:24
other people's stories more, more than I like sharing my own.
20:27
Because I I'm afraid to get emotional on air sometimes.
20:30
I'm like, I like listening better.
20:32
But this This is why I do what I do.
20:34
So. That's OK.
20:36
I realized how many stories I had when.
20:40
I'm doing my podcast for Hospice Explained.
20:43
And I'm thinking I'll have 20 episodes, I'll be done and you
20:47
know, I've got over 70. I don't think they're all
20:50
published, you know, not all published.
20:52
And then I was like, but I have other stories, how am I going to
20:55
get them out? So I understand stories and I I
20:59
really understand not having a platform to share them.
21:03
So that's why I created my own podcast.
21:05
So I have my own platform because they are different and.
21:10
Like you said, you listen to mine.
21:12
So you probably heard my Angel story.
21:14
You know, the Guardian Angel story I told one person I think
21:18
at the time and didn't and they gave me some, you know, well,
21:21
you should have outdrove them or something.
21:23
And it's like you can't out. I couldn't.
21:26
Doesn't work that way. And it was like, no.
21:29
And it was like it just wasn't. It wasn't a The rational
21:33
explanations for how to get out of the situation weren't real.
21:36
Otherwise, I must have needed my guardian Angel.
21:39
And just like your daughter got to see them, they must have been
21:42
needed. And God uses what he needs at
21:44
the time, right. And so, you know, at the time, I
21:48
needed apparently, protection more than I even realized.
21:53
But talking about it, yeah, that's the hard part.
21:56
It's not. Everybody has.
21:58
I mean, even the faith my my parents grew up Lutheran and
22:01
they never talked about, you know, a lot of wild and crazy
22:05
supernatural experiences. Here's the story I've never
22:07
told. I remember camping and we went
22:10
and got there like at probably midnight, you know, some crazy,
22:13
terrible time. And we were having trouble.
22:15
Like I was probably 7. You know, my parents were trying
22:18
to set up the tent and it's probably raining.
22:20
We're in Western Washington and all of a sudden like 4 guys
22:24
showed up out of nowhere, set up our tent and disappeared.
22:28
And my mom's like, they must have been angels unaware.
22:31
And all I could focus on is, well, what does unaware mean?
22:35
You know, I'm seven. And I thought about that
22:37
recently, and I thought they might have been, they might have
22:40
just been nice guys, but they literally, the whole
22:43
campground's asleep. We're trying to set up these
22:45
tents in the dark and not try not to wake up everybody.
22:48
And four guys showed up, put up our tent, and disappeared.
22:52
And it was kind of like, I don't know if they drove off or, you
22:54
know, I don't know all those details, but my mom was quite
22:57
convinced that she got supernatural help and I'm sure
22:59
she prayed for it. So there you go.
23:02
That that is a fascinating story.
23:04
And This is why it's important that we have podcasts like this.
23:08
We have episodes like this because I've noticed that the
23:11
campfire stories, right, like people that will sit around in
23:14
an intimate group, two or three people and sometimes and you'll
23:18
get the realness from them, right?
23:20
They'll actually start opening up and sharing crazy
23:22
experiences, dark experiences, good experiences, dreams,
23:25
visions. And it's like, but when the week
23:27
starts, they put on a suit, right?
23:29
And there's some accountant for some firm in Philadelphia.
23:32
But like you know, you get to see the realness when you enter
23:35
into to conversations and intimate setting.
23:37
Exactly. Well, to be able to do that on a
23:40
podcast and and to be able to actually I encourage other
23:43
people, you know, there's there's people out there
23:45
listening going you know what it's triggering me to remember
23:48
and giving me a license that it's OK to go there.
23:51
It's OK to talk about what you experienced and I think that
23:54
this. It is.
23:55
It's so important what you're doing.
23:57
Oh, thank you. I agree.
23:59
And for those who haven't listened to rods, I really do
24:02
encourage because I am one of his subscribers on the
24:05
Millennial Mustard Seed podcast. Did I say that right?
24:09
Yeah, it's a mouthful. Why don't you tell my audience a
24:12
little bit more about what you do on your podcast?
24:15
Yeah, so we're on season four this year.
24:17
So season five will starts just in a few months here.
24:21
And the idea was to interview people from a diversity of
24:25
backgrounds. Like, I don't really take one
24:27
lane We've covered. Everything's from the giant, the
24:30
Nephilim, Genesis 64, alien encounters, near death
24:33
encounters, stories of encouragement, stories of just
24:37
changing and revelation and dreams and visions and and how
24:41
people still today are being healed and getting baptized.
24:44
And it's just seeing the power God move.
24:45
So it's a really wide spectrum. Quite a interesting number of
24:50
guests I've had on all the way from the person next door up to
24:53
theologians, doctors, academia. It's just really a cool podcast
24:58
to get a big overview of some of these Christian topics, stuff
25:02
that you will not hear about at your Sunday service or on a
25:05
Wednesday night. So we like to break down the
25:07
walls a little bit of the religious, I guess you could
25:10
say. The denominational preferences
25:12
do not exist on the millennial mustard seed.
25:14
We we go everywhere and discuss everything, so.
25:18
I don't think God has denominations either.
25:20
He He definitely doesn't. So this is good.
25:23
I agree. I agree.
25:24
I just really do encourage everyone to listen to Rod's
25:27
podcast. It is very good.
25:29
I've been listening for a while now and I enjoy it a lot too.
25:33
Well, Rod, do you have any other piercing The Veil Supernatural
25:38
encounters that you, you might think weren't that big of a
25:41
story, but, you know, you might encourage somebody by sharing
25:44
it. Yeah, I had a vision a few years
25:47
ago. This is actually.
25:49
I shared it on one of the very early episodes of the podcast,
25:53
and I was driving from New York City to where I live in
25:56
southeastern Pennsylvania, which is about an hour and a half
25:59
drive at that time. And it was right before, I
26:03
believe it was July 4th. And I was thinking about the the
26:07
men who had went down and laid their lives for this freedom
26:10
that everybody likes to talk about, but we don't really know
26:13
what happened or what the meaning of it was anymore.
26:16
It's kind of been lost in in our culture and I get this download
26:20
while I'm on the Interstate and I looked around and there was
26:24
just fire out in the distance. It's just everything was being
26:28
engulfed in fire and I was in the middle of this valley.
26:31
So I'm viewing myself and I had sweat pouring down off of me and
26:35
my veins are popping out of my arms and my neck and and I look
26:38
like I'm straining and I cry up to God and I say, Lord, where
26:43
are you? And and I look up and there's
26:45
the cross. I just see the cross and blood
26:47
drips down off of it and hits my right shoulder.
26:50
And immediately I felt comfort. And that's one little, one
26:54
little thing that I've held onto that that I remember from time
26:58
to time. And I just want to encourage
26:59
your audience that if you guys had visions or dreams, we we
27:02
test the spirit. You know, the word of God
27:05
encourages us. Test the spirit.
27:07
Test these things out. Go to the throne room of grace
27:10
and time of help, inquire, talk with God.
27:12
Lord, are you using this to teach me, to encourage me to get
27:15
my focus right. And God works in mysterious
27:18
ways. So I just really quick want to
27:19
read this verse from Psalm 60, Verse 61.
27:23
Hear my cry. O God, attend to my prayer from
27:27
the end of the earth. Will I cry unto thee.
27:29
When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is
27:32
higher than I. Nice, I agree.
27:35
Test him. Ask.
27:37
Don't just assume a spirit or a supernatural experience is from
27:40
God, because I agree it's they're not all from God.
27:44
Exactly. You have to be careful and test
27:46
the spirits and just. You know, be careful.
27:49
You don't want to search out for the wrong experience either.
27:52
Very well said. Yeah and and he tells us to come
27:55
to him anytime any time of the day night he's there.
27:58
For us there there's power in the name of Jesus and and thank
28:02
you so much for having me to just air some of these topics
28:05
out and. Oh, you're welcome.
28:07
I was a little bit nervous in the beginning because they're
28:10
emotional and I'm like every time I'm like, I don't want to
28:13
get stuck in this place in my head where I kind of lose, lose
28:16
my train of thought or just try to not relive it.
28:19
But I appreciate your outlet and for you giving me the space to
28:23
be able to share this on air. Thank you.
28:26
Well, Rod, you know, sharing your emotions.
28:28
I think men and women do definitely view it differently.
28:32
But it is OK to have an emotional response because
28:36
that's such a it's a big deal. Usually.
28:39
I think those supernatural experiences are a big deal, like
28:42
my other supernatural experience that was so big where I saw
28:46
what. Could be.
28:47
I don't know if you heard this one, but like a Stargate
28:50
essentially is what I would say I saw.
28:52
I didn't think about it at the time that it was Stargate, but
28:55
you know, I didn't say a word to anybody for probably two or
29:00
three years, You know, I might have.
29:03
I don't think I said anything to anybody.
29:04
I don't remember, but and it's not that it was emotional for
29:07
me, but it's still, it's just Even so some of the stuff is
29:12
hard to talk about so. You're right, I have opened this
29:16
up. I do want people reach out to
29:18
me. e-mail me if you want to talk about these subjects and
29:21
you want me to listen to your supernatural experiences.
29:24
I have a podcast and I want to hear it.
29:27
We want to talk about it. So definitely thank you Rod, for
29:30
coming on my show. And if you hear this, it might
29:33
be because I sent the whole show over to Rod's podcast.
29:37
