Chapter 4 - Page 37 - 2000 Acres

   The Holy Spirit suddenly filled Jackie’s body. His ears went deaf. Not a blade of grass was blowing. Everything seemed to move in slow motion, and the sky grew dim. He heard a humming sound that progressed from soft to loud. The humming sound began to pulsate. After a few seconds, it faded, then ceased.

   Jackie looked up at the sky. At an angle well above Jim’s head, angels held a window open into heaven. He could see the throne room of God, shining with a radiant, sparkling light. As Jim prayed, a foot-wide beam of light shot upward from his head, tapering to a thin line as it entered heaven.

   Jackie could see every word of Jim’s prayer form at his lips and expand to the width of the beam. Every word seemed to snap out of Jim’s mouth to ascend to heaven on the beam of light as if it was on a typewriter, being typed one letter at a time.

   Jackie looked around. He saw many beams of light ascending from the ground at different places all around Africa. Each beam of light ended at the same point in heaven. Jackie knew the beams of light were the prayers of God’s people. Each beam of light had a prayer written on it and the words scrolled toward the light in the throne room.

   Jackie read the words “In Jesus’ name, Amen” as they formed at Jim’s lips and scrolled to heaven, then only the beam of light was left. It disappeared and the four angels pulled the window to heaven shut. The sky went back to normal, and Jackie could hear again. The light blue aura around Jim’s body shrank to a thin black line and disappeared. Jackie again heard a humming sound that grew louder, then began to pulsate. After a few seconds, it faded away. Jackie felt a light breeze ruffling his hair. The sky became bright and everything returned to normal motion.
