IN HIS LOVING
ARMS
A TRUE TESTIMONY BY MARY SMITH
Download PDF Version
On July 9th,
2011, a neighbor of mine who was out of town asked me to check on their
home for damage after a bad wind and rain storm.
I was climbing a retaining wall, lost my balance and fell on the back of
my head. Of course, my head landed perfectly on the edge of the red brick wall.
I split open the back of my head and the E.R. doctor had to place in 8 staples.
I seriously felt like a version of “humpty dumpty” with a zipper on the
back of my head!
During my stay at Northwest Hospital, they did an MRI and noticed something
unusual in the frontal area of my brain. They placed dye in my veins and ran
the MRI scan a second time. The doctor finally returned to give me the results.
I had a large aneurysm in the front part of my brain, directly behind my right
eye. It finally had explained the migraines and double vision I’d been
experiencing for the prior four months. I had actually thought it was just
stress caused from my hectic schedule. The fall I had experienced caused an
internal bleed into the back of my head. I had to wait 8 additional weeks
before they could perform brain aneurysm surgery. As I counted down the weeks,
the pain in my head became almost unbearable. My blood pressure was difficult
to keep under control because of the severe pain. I truly spent the majority of
my 8 weeks in bed just trying to pray the pain away. I had never felt so sick
in my life. This was a real struggle for me, as I have always been active and
very independent. For the first time, I had to depend on family and friends to
take me to my weekly doctor appointments, pick up prescriptions and even go
grocery shopping.
I
prayed several times a day to Our Heavenly Father and asked Him to
hold me in His arms and to guide my surgeons so they would have an easy
time with the surgery.
September 6, 2011,
I had to have emergency surgery for the aneurysm before my scheduled surgery
date. I had a surgery called endovascular coiling. The doctor said my aneurysm
was in the process of rupturing during surgery and the stress level within the
ER was intense. He also mentioned if they had waited another hour or two to
perform the surgery, the outcome would have been very different. My physician,
Dr. Andrew Gyorke, who performed the surgery, told me that they had to place in
a stent that went through a 90 degree turn of my artery. The stent usually
wants to flow into the opening of the aneurysm. He said usually they struggle to
get it placed directly in front of the opening of the aneurysm. All the doctors
were amazed as the stent flowed directly in the correct position, on the very
first attempt. Dr. Gyorke said it was almost like something had guided it into
the correct position. Later, I was told that they expected the surgery to last
an additional 4 to 6 hours longer than it actually took. They were surprised at
how smoothly the surgery went for the condition and size of the aneurysm.
Twenty-one coils later, it was complete.
September 7th,
2011,
between the hours
of 3:00 am and 4:30 am something miraculous happened in my intensive care room.
Half of my room turned into a cloud. At first, I thought that I was dying. I
was absolutely scared to death, because I didn’t see any white light that
everyone talks about. Then suddenly, I saw two little objects flying from the
bottom of this cloud. I thought they were butterflies. I realized that they
were angels. They had a little dark spot they were carrying in the middle of
their wings, which I realized must have been my spirit. I was being flown
towards a platform where there was a huge chair. I could see the outline of
someone sitting, covered in a long gown with long loose sleeves. At the top of
the cloud was a beautiful ornate dome. It had the most brilliant light
radiating from underneath. I have never seen anything shine with such
brilliance. It was then the angels placed my spirit in His arms. I
realized that this was God the Father and He had answered my
prayers. He showed me in this vision
what He had done for me on September 6th during my
surgery. It was written under the platform:
“I
HAVE MISSED YOU”
He
spoke to me, but His lips never moved. It didn’t dawn on me then that
He was communicating to me silently. In an arch shape above His
head, He wrote:
“BELIEVE ME WHEN
I TELL YOU THAT TODAY YOU WERE WITH YOUR FATHER IN HIS KINGDOM”.
He
also revealed to me that He gave me gifts. I remembered that I felt like
a child thrilled with receiving presents. I told Him, “You gave me
presents”? I could feel the joy He felt in presenting them to me. This
time the words He wrote were in a sugar cone shape. He said He
gave me the gifts of…
VISIONS, HEALING,
TEACHING, AND TECH
There were also two other gifts
He wrote in a half circle shape that I wasn’t able to read before they
disappeared. I’m not sure what kind of “tech” He gave me. Hopefully, it
would be technology. I am terrible when it comes to computers. Then God the
Father smiled. You could see the love radiating from His eyes. I have
never felt so loved in my life!
I remember thinking to myself “This man loves me, oh
my goodness, He really loves me”. I felt like I was crying within. Then
suddenly I noticed that He had the
most beautiful straight teeth. I was looking
and admiring His smile and how beautifully straight His teeth
were. As odd as it sounds, I’m always admiring people who have perfectly
straight teeth. I always feel they were so very blessed. For those who do not
know me personally, I have this corky sense of humor. So then as strangely as
it sounds, I thought to myself “Boy He has a great orthodontist”! All of
a sudden, His eyes crinkled at the corners, as if something hit Him
funny. Later when I told my daughter about His eyes crinkling she said
”Mom God knows all. He read your mind and knew exactly what you were
thinking and probably thought it was funny”. I remember I broke down and cried
thinking how wonderful to know that God the Father has a great sense of
humor. He has blessed me with His humor.
Under the platform everything
disappeared. Then the next thing I saw was everything separated in two equal
parts. On the right side were white angels and on the left, dark angels. On the
right, the angels bodies would suddenly resemble smoke and would move and form
words. This is what I remember seeing:
The black angels
made me feel drawn to what was written. This is what I remember seeing from that
side:
-
Adultery
-
Gluttony
-
Fornication
-
Envy
-
Jealousy
-
Conceit
I saw a very handsome man
enticing me towards him. I was curious to see what it was all about. I felt
extremely chilled, and have never been so frightened in my life. I was
absolutely scared to death! I then realized it was Satan… and he was pulling me
towards him. I looked up at God the Father and screamed “I WANT YOU GOD
THE FATHER! I WANT YOU!” All of a sudden the dark angels disappeared and they
never returned. This scenario then disappeared and out of the left side of the
cloud came a white angel carrying Mother Theresa. I remember I said to myself
”Oh my goodness, it’s Mother Theresa”. She was young and so beautiful. She
smiled at me and I thought she was thrilled to see me! Then the angel flew her
up towards the brilliant light and disappeared. I also saw St. Anthony and I
think St. Jude. I have prayed in God’s name for Him to allow them
to help me. St. Anthony is the Saint for lost and found and I think we’re almost
on a first name basis! Then without warning, the cloud changed again.
The next thing I saw was this
huge mountain with big sharp rocks. It was such a rocky terrain that it would
have been horribly difficult to climb. All at once, standing there was Jesus
with his crown of thorns and carrying His cross. I felt like I was crying
uncontrollably as I watch Him struggle. You could see the terrible pain
He was enduring. I told Him how sorry I was that He
suffered and died for me because of my sins. This whole scene lasted a while and
then just vanished. Then God the Father said…
“YOU HAVE THREE DAYS”
and written below
that was…
“YOU HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT DECISION TO MAKE.”
Then
September 10,
2011
appeared in my vision. The date kept moving similar to a ticker tape, going
around and around. I was beyond confused. What was going to happen on that day?
Would there be have another 9/11? Was something going to happen in our world,
something awful? The idea of not knowing really frightened me.
Sometime during
this whole experience, I had several nurses enter my intensive care room. I
heard them say “Ms. Smith”? “Mary”? One young male nurse assigned to me that
night was making fun of me. I’m sure it seemed strange and possibly funny to
him that I was leaning away from the bed and was staring over to the left side.
One small nurse stood directly in front of me looking at my face. I could tell
she was trying to figure out what I was looking at. All I could see was the
outline of her hair which was short and curly. She also had chubby shoulders
and arms. I could not see her face. What I did see was God the Father
through her face. I thought to myself that I can talk to the nurses later. How
often do you get to speak to our Almighty God the Father?
At the end of
this whole experience, I saw two little angels flying down towards a rectangle
with 5 or 6 dots on the outside of it. All through this whole experience I kept
seeing these dots. Wondering to myself, “what in the world did those dots
represent”? It didn’t make any sense. Then as the angels flew closer and closer
to the dots and the rectangular shape, those dots suddenly were large enough to
recognize as heads. Then all of the sudden the heads had necks, and then with
shoulders and arms. My crying was intensified because I could see that they were
my surgeons. The angels placed the little dark spot, which I now believe to be
my spirit, back on the table and flew up into the brilliant light. Suddenly, the
cloud completely disappeared.
Saturday,
September 10, 2011 at
7:00 am. God the Father woke me. I saw in
written word: “DO NOT BE AFRAID”
and “YOU WILL PLAY A ROLE.”
As well as “IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL YOU
WILL JOIN ME IN MY KINGDOM”. He
also wrote something about “banished” or “vanished”, but unfortunately it
disappeared before I could read it. He told me…
“SIN NO MORE”
and I told Him I would do whatever He asks and needs of me. I am
His to be used for His will. My life is now
His.
September 10,
2011, at
11:00 am my youngest daughter laid
down with me to take a nap. At 1:00pm
I was awakened suddenly by some extraordinary force. It literally
pulled me straight up in bed. I was so scared! My daughter woke up and asked me,
“Mom are you okay”? She was also scared because I sat up in such a rush. I
suddenly had this urgency to talk to my mother. My mom is 87 years old and in a
care home. She is unaware of the fact she has Alzheimer’s. I thought to myself
maybe this is the day my mother is going to die? My daughter called her and I
talked to her for a while. I told her about seeing Jesus, but because of her
Alzheimer’s, she suddenly stopped and told me that she had to eat lunch. My
daughter went and picked my mother up from the care home and she had dinner with
my ex-mother-in-law, my two daughters and myself. After dinner I asked my
mother-in-law if she had the sinner’s prayer handy and if we could all say it
aloud. We all said it together and I had my mother repeat it too. I now know
exactly what was to happen on September 10, 2011… I gave my life to God the
Father. He in return made sure my mother was ready to enter His
kingdom. I feel she must not have been ready before all this transpired. God
the Father loved me so much that He made sure that I would have my
mother with me when I get to His kingdom. My mother has lived with me
for over twenty years and I know He knows the love that I have for my
mother and He did this for me because He loves me so
much.
This has been a
life altering experience. My purpose in life is this; to spread this story,
His word. He asked me and now I will glorify His name! In my
vision, I recall most profoundly of all…
“Tell others so
they will also believe in me”
He
also said:
“It is not your time, but
soon”
and
I also recall “That I will not
struggle anymore”. Looking
back now, I would have normally been
panicked and concerned about trying to decide where I would come up with the
finances to pay such large medical costs. Weeks later the hospital bill arrived
which covered the majority of the surgery. It was literally paid in full and
partially written off with an exception of my portion, $42 out of $136,000.
I really hope
people will listen. I honestly feel something significant will be happening
within our world in the very near future. People need to love, honor, and obey
His commandments. I have delivered this story to you for a purpose, to
ask you “Are
you ready to
enter the kingdom of heaven”?
* Pray to
Him.
* Read His
word, Get to know Him.
* Be kind to
others, Love one another.
He
is giving us another chance to change our ways. God the Father loves every one
of us, we are His children.
I am currently
recovering slowly. I have a few issues with my eyesight, which my doctor has
informed me may be temporary or permanent; it’s unclear at this time. In
retrospect, all that matters is being alive. I have my mother, daughters,
grandchildren and all my family and friends who I love. This experience has
blessed me unimaginably from beginning to end.
I have this sense
of urgency to spread this story. Please share this story with family and
friends. Also, if you know of a group that you would like me to share His
story with, please feel free to email me.
May God bless,
Mary Smith
