SID: Krissy, you have what are called open visions. Describe what an open vision is to you.
KRISSY: I call it an encounter. I feel like I’m encountering the presence of God. He’ll take me into scenarios. There was a time when I was doing something very ordinary, I was standing in a kitchen of all places, and I felt this presence of God come and fill the room, and I knew something was about to happen. I had my hands by my side. Then all of a sudden, I felt a hand fill my hand, and then it was Jesus, and he said, “Come follow me.” I thought, “Wow.”
KRISSY: He took me back and he took me into moments, into moments where I could see what he saw and feel what he felt.
SID: It’s beyond watching it on say a video.
KRISSY: Yeah.
SID: It’s actually you were in the scene.
KRISSY: I was there. I was there.
SID: You could smell, you could taste, you could feel all your senses.
KRISSY: Yeah.
SID: Could you imagine being able to see major miracles of Jesus, major events in his life, as it’s actually taking place? You talk about reading the Bible, that’s nothing compared to this. This is the Bible. Tell me a couple.
KRISSY: He took me into the Bible. He took me into his word. The Word took my hand and took me into the Word, where I was with the woman at the well, and I could feel what she felt. I could feel the deep emptiness that she was experiencing over the life that she’d lived. Then the moment that Jesus spoke to her and said, “If you only knew who it was who was talking to you, you would ask him for living water, and he would give it to you, and you would have eternal life.” I could feel this moment when he spoke those words, as life began to flow into her body, and she had hope for all of us who ever feel dry and weary.
KRISSY: Then I was suddenly, there was another one with the woman with the issue of blood. The one I want to also talk about is the woman caught in the case of adultery. Here Jesus was, and the men around him were trying to trap him, “What are you going to do with her?” They accuse her and they throw her in front of them. In this vision, what I experienced, I was feeling what Jesus felt, and I felt him run to her and cover her with his robe. I could feel the dirt on the ground, it was even getting up into my eyes, and I could taste it, the fire inside of him to shield this woman that he cared for, that was being accused. He looked at them and I could feel when he said, “Let any of you who’s without sin cast the first stone.” I feel like that’s what he does for us today.
SID: He literally has our back.
KRISSY: He has our back. He cares for us and he robes us in that robe of righteousness bought by his blood. That’s where he brought me next, was to the cross. It was the most agonizing place I could ever imagine, and I was seeing through his eyes.
SID: Excuse me, did you see that movie by Mel Gibson?
KRISSY: Oh yeah.
SID: How much more real what you saw was even that movie?
KRISSY: There’s no parallel, because I’m feeling his feelings. I’m a feeler in general, and I was feeling in his heart, and I was seeing out through his eyes, and I could see the people. I could see the sort of almost gray casting on them, that they had no idea what they were doing. I could feel the agony inside of the lamb being slain, and I could feel that moment where he said to the Father, “Father, forgive them, they don’t know what they’re doing.”
KRISSY: Then all of a sudden, after that moment, I felt the most intense feeling yet. It was like what I felt at the well, with living water rushing into the woman. I felt this living water bubble up from within the lamb, and it’s that joy. It was joy, the joy set before him that he endured the cross. I was feeling that. It was that compassion inside of him, that kept him following through with what he came to do.
SID: You were chosen, according to the Bible, before the foundation of this Earth. I know this, I know that if you take a little step towards him, he’s going to run towards you and surround you with a new robe of being right with him. It’s called the robe of righteousness.
KRISSY: Yeah.
SID: Repeat this prayer after me. Dear God.
Audience: Dear God.
SID: I’m a sinner.
Audience: I’m a sinner.
SID: And I’m so sorry.
Audience: And I’m so sorry.
SID: I believe.
Audience: I believe.
SID: That your blood.
Audience: That your blood.
SID: Washed away my sins.
Audience: Washed away my sins.
SID: And you have no remembrance of it anymore.
Audience: And you have no remembrance.
SID: It’s so good to be so clean.
Audience: Yes.
SID: Repeat this, it’s so good to be so clean.
Audience: It’s so good to be so clean.
KRISSY: It’s so good to be so clean.
SID: Now that I am clean.
Audience: Now that I am clean.
SID: Jesus come inside of me.
Audience: Jesus come inside of me.
SID: Take over my life.
Audience: Take over my life.
SID: I make you my Lord.
Audience: I make you my Lord.
SID: Amen.
Audience: Amen.
SID: Now Krissy, I’m going to take you back. You’re 15 years of age, and I can picture a 15 year old struggling with rejection and insecurity. You went to a meeting, take me back there.
KRISSY: I was 15 and I was really at this place where I was at the end of my rope. I felt lonely, I felt rejected, I felt like my life didn’t matter, but I knew I wanted it to matter. I was at this place where I’m just like, “No, I need God, I need you to show up for me. If you’re real, then you send somebody to pray for me, because I’m not going to go.” A couple people came and prayed over me, and I could feel the walls of my heart just begin to fall and fall.
KRISSY: Then one man came over and he prayed, and he spoke a word right into my identity, right into the thing that was lost in me, which is who I am and that my life matter. He said, “Girl, I just see you reaching so many people.” Then all of a sudden the power of God came over him and he said, “Mover, shaker, history maker.” In that moment, the walls of my heart were gone. My heart was wide open, and I lifted my hands and I began to just worship the Lord and cry out. I just wept, and I wept, and the floodgates of my heart were open.
SID: You told me people actually saw a glow around the three of you.
KRISSY: In that moment, I had felt like I was in a bubble, a bubble of his presence. We actually had a picture of that, where there’s me and my friends in that glory around us. That’s what I was experiencing in that moment. I got up and I’m looking around, and I’m seeing through something. It was the presence of God, it was His glory.
KRISSY: I made my way to my family, and my uncle looked at me and he just shook his head and he said, “He’s big, isn’t He?” When he said that, I fell to the ground, because I realized that’s what I’m encountering right now. Right in my mess, God met me with His mercy and His bigness. That night He held me in His arms and He held me tight, and He spoke into me who I was. I woke up the next morning just with these fresh eyes and said, “Good morning Lord.” I knew right then, he wasn’t just God afar, he was God a-near. He was Abba, Father.
SID: If you can believe this, if you can believe this, I’m going to have her say those three words, the three words were mover, shaker, and history maker. If you can believe this, you speak it into the lives and if you can believe it, this is you.
KRISSY: Yeah, I just declare right now that you’ve come to a crossroads in your destiny, and Father God wants to speak this word of truth over you right now. Mover, shaker, history maker.
SID: You know, life takes many twists and turns. She’s rising in the corporate world, climbing the corporate ladder, and she’s married now, but she lost the intimacy with God. She lost the fire of God that she had, but then she had a baby and God used that baby. I’ll let her tell you when we come back.
