They heard a voice...

The following is an excerpt from Marilyn Agee's Web site (http://www.kiwi.net/~mjagee), P&C 524 dated 6/3/00.

Incoming e-mail (in part):
...I am a pastor... I've studied prophecy almost forty years and have never failed to mention some where in a sermon that Christ is coming soon. I stood in a cemetery over looking the graves of many of my Jewish ancestors about the time God called me to preach his gospel several years ago. No one was with me except my wife, who was down the hill from me, when suddenly, out of nowhere, someone laid a hand on my shoulder very firmly. I was startled to find that no one was next to me. I knew that God had touched my life, when a voice spoke and said, "TELL MY PEOPLE I'M COMING SOON, YOU WILL LIVE TO SEE MY RETURN.''

Marilyn's reply (in part):
...I can see that you understand that we are living in the end of the age. His coming is near any way we figure it. Thank you so much for sharing with me what the Lord said to you. It is similar to what was told Dr. Eby. I have a friend who was walking on the sidewalk at the corner of their yard. She heard a voice say, "YOU WILL NEVER DIE." Another lady I have corresponded with heard something similar to "I AM COMING IN YOUR LIFETIME." I have a record somewhere of the exact words, but it is too time consuming to dig through the tons of stuff I have saved. That is close if not exact.

Subject: "You will not die"
As I was enjoying your site this evening (the letter from the Messianic Pastor), I realized that I was the "woman you correspond with". I thought I would refresh the story you mentioned and add two other confirmations:

When I was driving home from an exceptionally difficult day at work (in the ministry), I came to an intersection where a very matter of fact impression "said" clearly, "You will not die". I argued, "I know that Christians do not see death, Lord." But the clear impression again came, "You are not hearing. You will not die." I prayed over that for several days, but felt absolute peace that the Lord had made it clear that He would return before I died. That was eight years ago and my health has given me cause to be concerned about death on two occasions, but I have held on to that peace.

Some five years ago, my son had a troubling dream: he and I were together in a shopping mall in Seattle when a catastrophic earthquake hit. The very ground gave way beneath us and yet our faith held. He said that the Lord made it clear that everything my son held dear was about to be tested, but that his faith would hold and before the issues were resolved, the Lord would return. Subsequently, three years later, my son's wife without warning handed him her wedding rings and left him, the issues remain unresolved. My son began a highly promising business which continues to promise either wealth or bankruptcy...as yet unresolved.

I have also had three increasingly intimate dreams of the Lord's return unlike anything I have ever known. While I absolutely agree that Scripture is the only thing upon which we can rely; I had asked the Lord for a dream from Him and have never felt the degree of sadness (over the world), peace (in His presence) or joy (as His Bride) as I did in these dreams. Interestingly, it was spring, and a time of horrific tornadoes (this year may be our worst year for tornadoes).

Finally, my pastor's 83 year old father had a heart attack three years ago. As he lay in intensive care, he said that the Lord promised him that he would be alive at the time of the Lord's return...

May it be this Pentecost, dear Lord, we pray. God bless, dear one, prayerfully together in the air soon!!
