What I Believe In
I'm 20 years old and I cannot remember when the Lord was not a part of my life.
He's been my friend, my healer, my everything.
I have been raised in church all of my life. I am from a church that was not afraid
to praise the Lord! People didn't just 'warm the pews' like in alot of churches. Each person would praise the Lord in his or her own way. For me, I praised him in song and music. I started singing for the Lord when I was 5 years old. It gave me such a blessing to hear and see the congregation lost in praise to the Lord while I sang Southern Gospel. I remember looking out and seeing tears roll down the faces of my brothers and sisters in Christ.
There were times when my grandmother accompanied me in song.
I was baptized when I was 7 and received the Holy Spirit when I was 13.
See, I believe a person shouldn't supress the Lord's spirit. People call us 'Holy Rollers', but only because they don't understand. There's nothing more beautiful than having the Holy Spirit wash over you in a service! Of feeling God's arms around you and knowing you are safe.

One of My Spiritial Experiences
The Lord has blessed me with numerous experiences and gifts. It is your choice to believe or not to believe.
The first one that comes to mind, is the night I received the Holy Ghost. We had gone home and my mom had put me to bed. I couldn't sleep. I was lying there awake, and the Lord spoke to me (in my mind). He told me, "Crystal, It's Jesus".
I guess He told me who He was so I wouldn't be afraid. After He said His name, He showed me a vision of Hell. It was a lake of fire & I heard screaming. It was very hot & in the middle of it all, was Satan. I can't describe really what he looked like. He was the most hideous thing anyone could ever see. He was laughing because the people were screaming. Then, I saw the Rapture taking place. Jesus was in the clouds with His arms outstretched. The christians were taken up and the rest were left behind.
The the Lord gave me a glimpse of Heaven. It is the most beautiful place!  Yes there really are jasper walls, a crystal sea, streets of gold and many mansions! I could swear I even saw one with my name on it!
Then the Lord took from through His life here on earth, from His birth to His Resurrection. The part that sticks out in my mind, that I will never forget, is the cruxifiction. When Jesus was at the whipping post, I could hear the whip crack against His back and hear Him crying out. When they laid Him on the cross, I could hear the hammer driving the nails into His hands and feet.
All this time I knew I had been walking in my vision, and the Lord was holding my hand all the time. However, I didn't see myself walking until He showed me the Resurrection. That is the first and only time I have seen myself walking in my
dreams or visions.
The Lord allowed me to touch His wounds in my vision.
I may not have this all word for word, but I have told it as it was shown to me. This experience happened 7 years ago.
Before the Lord left me that night, I don't know what His reason was, but He told me not to reveal this vision to anyone for 3 days, in which time I called my Pastor and told him what the Lord had shown me.
