我有一个朋友是巴拿马妇女，是一个代祷勇士。在1994年6月10日，她因为胰脏癌细胞的转移，导致状况复杂而死亡。随后被移到Pensacola的西佛罗里达州医学中心的陈尸间。5个小时后，一位护士发现她身体在动，口中喃喃自语；她立刻被移到加护病房。后来她作见证，说出她相当吸引人的经历：
她被天使引导看到了地狱及天堂的情形（她没有遇到耶稣。）她看到水晶的大厦，天使制成给圣徒穿的义袍和王冠。她也看到了一个许多白马的溪谷，当耶稣宣告回到地上时，白马是给圣徒骑的。她也看到了一个溪谷有一些斑点的马，那是给先知们骑的。天使给她动了一个勉强称得上�"手术"，当她回复生命时，她完全得到医治。（身为她的朋友，同时也是一个医生，我有她的健康记录和电脑断层扫描结果，并且帮她把经历写下来，因为她的英文能力不好。）
我分享一些她的背景。这个妇女与耶稣相当亲近，在一段特别的禁食期间，她与他面对面交谈。她问他很多问题，诸如为何在人上嘴唇的皮肤会有一道压痕？耶稣回答她说，当他从泥土造亚当时，在还没有将生命的气息吹到他里面时，他将手指压在亚当的嘴唇上，好像是在说："嘘，安静！"，意思是先警惕他，要控制嘴巴。她的见证简直是令人惊异。（编者注：希望各位主内弟兄姊妹以后照镜子时多看这个部位，注意控制嘴巴，多说造就人的话。^_^ ）
上个星期，她梦到耶稣在天空上，腰部被云彩包围住，他的双手张开。他看着地球上，四处寻找他的圣徒。她看到圣徒在半空中，穿着白色的袍子，但更多有名望的人却留在地上。
她看到很多很多人留在地上，比天空上的还多，他们全部是赤裸的。老年男人和女人，中年的男人和妇女，男孩子和女孩子，全部都是赤裸的，大声向耶稣哭求带走他们。耶稣没有留意他们，继续四处寻找穿着白袍的圣徒。
当我听到这个梦时，我说："这就是收割期，初次的复活和被提！"她回答说："是的，这就是我的牧师说的。"我问她是否知道在地上的人们为什么是赤裸的，她说不晓得。我告诉她看两处经节，她看了以后很高兴；
倘若穿上，被遇见的时候就不至于赤身了。(林后 5: 3)
看哪，我来像贼一样。那儆醒、看守衣服、免得赤身而行、叫人见他羞耻的有福了！(启 16: 15)
所以，毫无怀疑地，这不只是一个 "梦"。因为我们的结婚礼服代表圣徒的义袍，让我们满怀信心地时时留意从天而来的呼叫和记号。让我们尽力地给穷人吃、给无家的人遮护、传福音、驱逐恶魔、医治生病的人、使人民成为门徒，如此在他再来时不会被发现是赤裸的。如保罗的话说：" 总要披戴主耶稣基督，不要为肉体安排，去放纵私欲。(罗 13: 14)"和约伯说："我以公义为衣服，以公平为外袍和冠冕。 我为瞎子的眼，瘸子的脚。 我为穷乏人的父；素不认识的人，我查明他的案件。我打破不义之人的牙床，从他牙齿中夺了所抢的。(伯 29: 14-17)"
I friend of mine, named _____ , is a prayer warrior and powerful intercessor. On June 10, 1994 this Panamanian woman was pronounced dead from complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer, and was transferred to the morgue at the West Florida Medical center in Pensacola. Five hours later a nurse found her moving and mumbling; she was then transferred back to the ICU. Her testimony is a fascinating account of things in hell and heaven that was shown to her by angels (she never saw Jesus). She saw crystal mansions, robes and crowns being made by angels for the saints, and also saw a valley of white horses for the saints' return with Jesus to claim the earth. She saw another valley of "spotted" horses which she said are reserved for the prophets. The angels performed an "operation" of sorts on her, and when she came to life she was healed. (As a friend and physician, I have her medical records and CT scans in my possession and am helping her to write her story as her English is poor).
I share that to give you some of her background. This woman is so close to Jesus, that during periods of extensive fasting she actually speaks with him face-to-face. She has asked him many questions such as the reason why people have that little "compression" in the skin directly over the upper lip. Jesus told her that when he made Adam out of clay, before the breath of life was breathed into him, he pressed his finger over his mouth as if to tell him "hush" like a "forewarning" for him to control his mouth. Her testimonies are nothing short of a wonder to hear.
Last week, ____ dreamed that Jesus was in the sky, enveloped in a cloud around his waist. His hands were stretched open, and he was looking to-and-fro over the earth searching for his saints. She saw saints in white gowns in the air, but more notable she said were the people on the ground.
She said many, many more people were on the ground than in the air, and they were naked. Old men and women, middle aged men and women, boys and girls, all naked, were crying out to Jesus to take them. But Jesus paid them no heed and kept looking back and forth for his saints who donned their white robes. When I heard the dream I said, "____, that is the harvest (the first resurrection/rapture)!" She responded, "Yes; that's what my pastor said." I asked her if she knew why the people were naked, and she replied she did not. I then showed her these two passages of scriptures, which she received with delight:
"Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked" (2 Cor. 5:3).
"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed" (Revelation 16:15).
And so, without doubt, this was more than a "dream." Since our wedding clothes represent the "RIGHTEOUS ACTS of the saints," let's take heed every moment to be faithful to the call and watch for the signs of his return. Let's be diligent to feed the poor, shelter the homeless, preach the gospel, cast out demons, heal the sick, disciple the nations, and so not be found naked upon his return! In the words of Paul, let us "clothe ourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 13:14) and as Job so eloquently spoke, "Put on righteousness as our clothing, justice as our robe and turban, be eyes to the blind and feet to the lame, be a father to the needy, take up the case of the stranger, break the fangs of the wicked and snatch the victims from their teeth (29:14-17).
Righteous acts do not "save" us; but they do make heavenly wedding gowns.
