I’ll never forget when the Second Coming of Jesus captured my mind for the first time. I was a freshman in Academy. Our dorm worships, Bible classes, chapel programs, and church worship services, all at various times spoke of Jesus’ soon return. It was on my mind so much that I began to have dreams about it. Within a timeframe of 1-2 weeks, I had three dreams to be exact.

In the first dream I was at the beach with my brother at night when suddenly the sky cracked open. A thunderous lightning bolt split the entire night sky in two. I grabbed my brother and said, “Jesus is coming back!” In the second dream, golden angels were reading from a golden list the names of those who could board a golden train to the heavenly kingdom. In the last dream we were in a van driving through a vast desert expecting Jesus to appear at any moment.

I’m so grateful for the wonderful school faculty and staff who spoke to me regularly about Jesus’ coming. It opened magnificent pathways in my mind that pointed me closer to the beautiful realities of Heaven. As a result, I soon afterwards asked Jesus into my heart and received His awesome promise of salvation for me.

Why don’t I speak more often about Jesus’ return so that others might have the same thing happen for them? Father in Heaven, bless me with boldness to speak more about Your coming kingdom so that I might help others catch the vision for themselves.
