As I looked at the gate, it began to slowly open and by the time I arrived it was fully open. As I entered the gate, I was walking on a narrow white path that first appeared to be about eight inches wide, yet I walked freely on it. I felt as if I was in my human body and could look down and see my feet. The path led to a wide set of steps (10 or 12) leading up to what I somehow knew was the Throne Room of God. The door opened as I approached and in the room were three chairs. I could see three forms all dressed in white but did not see faces. I was aware that this was God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus picked up a little stool, placed it at his feet and told me to sit on it. I did not hear an audible voice at any time, but was aware that He was speaking to me and I could understand His words although I was not hearing them with my ears. I also could feel His hand on my shoulder. As He began to talk, the side of the building became transparent and He showed me the beauty of a narrow creek flowing with clear crystal water trickling over beautiful sparkling rocks. There is nothing in this world with which to compare this beauty. All along the bank on both sides were trees. I specifically saw one large tree just loaded with fruits of all kinds, none of them familiar, yet I knew that it was a fruit tree and realized that it was the tree of life.

Next I saw a cottage next to the stream made out of small, about 1" by 4" snow white bricks and the mortar was solid gold. It had a small porch directly in the center, covered by a peaked roof and was held up by elegant shaped and carved posts which were decorated with gold. There were colorful flowers all along the front of the house and as far as I could see was a beautiful meadow of flowers and waving green grass. A brilliant light surrounded everything but there was no sun or artificial light.

Jesus told me, (not in an audible voice, but I was aware of Him speaking) that this was my home in Heaven . . . Built just for me. I expressed that I would like to see inside and suddenly a heaviness came over me and I said "Oh Jesus, I can't stay. There are too many people who don't know about this place and I've got to go back and tell them" He said "Go with my blessing" and instantly I was back in the hospital, in my mortal body and the nurse was begging me to breathe.
