I joined the SDA church in 1981, I believe it was, I left the church in 1985. In 1986 I went out of state to visit my brother and his wife, both Adventist. I read this story in the last part of June 1986, I was all by myself in my brother and his wife's house in the living room in a rocking chair, and after I read it, I had a silent prayer, "Lord if you will give me a similar experience, I will be your servant". On July 4th 1986, at approxmiately 9 am in the morning, I was outside at a SDA Christian's house, who was working with his son and a buddy helping him, and as he was working, he began to witness to me about Jesus. When he got to a certain part where he said he had had a religious experience, and had fallen once or twice after that, and hadn't fallen since then, I saw a vision of Jesus Christ upon the cross. He was nailed to the cross by His hands and feet, He had a long hair, dark brown at the top, and he had a full beard and mustache, there was a green oval type background, a beautiful green. The most prominent thing was the tears that was flowing out of His eyes, they were streaming out of His eyes, just flowing drop after drop after drop. Then I came out of the vision. I said very softly, I just saw Jesus in a vision.
