I am currently reading this book.. (along with others and I don't think I have had so many books on the go at once ever... ) called The Jesus Vision... Praise God it is online and that is why even as I sit here reading.. I have to share it anyone else who might want to read it..

It is about signs and wonders in the Muslim world!!

Good news has to be shared doesn't it if one can!! You can find the book at this address in the link..

The Jesus Vision ~ I linked to the page where it shares the introduction by the author.. Christine Darg.. You can find the rest of the chapters from that page!! Ha.. I am only on chapter one.. LOL.. but it is so good I have to share.. I often wonder how Mary.. the mother of Jesus ever could not tell everyone of the great things that happened to her.. but she wisely treasured them in her heart.. I am one probably over eager person who likes to share and maybe too quickly somtimes.. Blogs are a good place because I tend to e-mail everything to people.. and some people.. hmm.. LOL.. are not as enthusiastic as me about this stuff!! And they must have too much mail to answer and read..

Here is a little insert from the part I just read.. Be blessed.. and thank YOU JESUS for your compassion and mercy on the world that all might be saved!!

Middle-Eastern Jesus Appears to Western Girl

As a very young child, I was very ill and almost died. My Mother said that I had lost all of my hair, suffered from rheumatic fever and was wasting away. One of my earliest childhood memories was the Lord Jesus appearing to me in an open vision. But unlike some Sunday School pictures of a “Western Jesus,” this Christophany was a Middle Eastern Man with long dark curly hair, brown compassionate eyes and Mediterranean complexion. He was wearing a green and white stripped Biblical robe. From His appearance, He could have been a Jewish King or a Middle Eastern sheik; He was definitely Semitic. I believe He knew that I would one day live in the Bible lands. He said with warm compassion, "You are going to be healed.

" I was fearful and awed by the vision and momentarily turned my head to the side. When I looked again, He was gone, but I was healed! To this day I am blessed with vigorous health and travel throughout the world for Jesus!

 Many years later when I was interceding for the Mideast, I saw the Lord again in a vision. I beheld His sacred wounds, which remain open, so that His stripes and wounds continually heal us by faith. The stigmata (marks) Jesus still bears are evidence of the penalty He paid for our sins and sicknesses so we do not have to bear them. He accomplished a perfect Atonement. What a Savior! What a Healer!

 I also saw the whip that was used to tear His flesh when the Roman soldiers scourged Jesus. To my surprise, in the vision my hand was holding the whip! This was because my sins and sicknesses were the cause of His sufferings. (We must all recognize ourselves as accomplices in the death of Jesus, because it was our collective sin that killed Jesus. Evangelist Mel Gibson, who produced the film “The Passion of The Christ,” understood this concept. In the film, Gibson’s hand drove the nails into the Savior at the Cross.)

 In my vision of the wounded Jesus, He pulled me to Himself with the cords of the whip, and as I embraced Him, His precious blood oozed through my fingers. In the vision, He also placed my hands into His side, pierced by a Roman soldier. He prophesied with great might and urgency into my ear: “Pray for the sick! Pray for the sick!" I have not been disobedient to this heavenly vision and have prayed for the sick in every nation that the Lord has sent me and I have seen Him do the same miracles TODAY!

 As the Holy Spirit continues to outpour visions of the Risen Lord, very prominent in these visions are the wounds of His sacrifice on the Cross.

 It is notable that “Doubting Thomas” demanded to see the marks of Jesus’ suffering and sacrifice. He might have asked for some other sign or proof of the Resurrection, but for Thomas the “print of the nails” and the wounded side would seal his faith. It is also interesting that even though Jesus’ death was vindicated and He now exists in a glorified body, the wounds of His crucifixion remain in His body for Eternity.

 Even today Jesus is revealing His sacred wounds to the people of the Middle East. Having been buried alive, an Egyptian child who was rescued testified that a supernatural Man had sustained him—a Man with bloody holes in his hands. There is only one Person in the world who fits that description—Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
