Encounters with God: Life After Death and Modern Day Miracles!

By Rev. D. E. Baker

These stories are about real miracles, things that really happened to me. I am just an ordinary guy and I asked God to help me, he did! He introduced himself to me in a big way.

He showed me about life after death and what happens afterwards. He sent angels to protect me from being shot to death. The Lord healed me from diseases in my body. He can do the same thing for you.

Introduction

Would you believe when you die, something strange, confusing will happen that will make you wonder, what has happened to me? That is what you will ask yourself, after death calls.

How do you know, you might say? Well, I have been there. That is why I am writing this story to let you know what happened. Do you believe in God or not? If not, then buckle your seatbelt and get ready!

I am going to tell you a few stories, strange things that happened to me. There are circumstances that changed my life from a doubter to a man of God, including believing in life after death. You can not deny it, when it hits you in the face.

If you want to know about life after death you will want to know what happened to me! Angels appear out of nowhere and protecting me from harm.

A mass of swirling wind appears and comes through the roof of my house. The Lord began speaking to me in an audible voice. I will never forget the experience.

After reading this, I hope you will remember it always. It is my prayer that you will be blessed by what you read in these stories.

I hope you enjoy these stories just as much as I had writing them for you. The stories in this book really happened to me.

Hello, my name is Rev. David Baker. I reside in Dalton, Ga. with my wife, Rosetta. We have been involved with gospel music and the ministry for over twenty years.

Why the Lord chose me I do not know, but I am glad he did. Nothing I enjoy more than singing and talking about the Lord.

The gifts of the spirit operate in my life and that is a very wonderful gift from God. Thank you for taking the time to read these stories.

Chapter One

The Beginning

When I was a little boy, I never felt like I quite fit in. I always felt different, separated from everyone else.

I always felt a presence with me, like someone was watching over me.

I always felt I was a child of God. I was flying high like an eagle in my imagination, but always questioning myself and never finding myself good enough to reach that lofty goal of being what I believe a real preacher should be.

There are many preachers I see that lack in the Lord, following him from a distance. They never let go of themselves, thus never realizing their full potential in the Lord.

Oh, how I wish I could explain, to make people understand some of the things the Lord has shown me. People are rebellious. Their mindsets will always keep them from receiving God’s best.

Let’s go back to a time when I was a young child. Although I believe the Lord was watching over me long before this event happened. It is the earliest event I can remember.

When I was ten years old, it was a hot summer day. My brother, who was 2 years younger than me, and I decided to go swimming at the local recreation center. Do you have your money little brother, I said. Of course, do you think I’m stupid, he replied. No!, I just wanted to know if you had enough money, I said.

Yes, I have plenty of money to get into the pool, but you will probably have to buy me a hot dog later, OK, my brother said. All right then. OK, let’s go before it gets crowded, I replied.

So, we were on our way for a day of fun and swimming, provided of course, I had enough money to buy my brother a hotdog after I paid for my entrance at the recreation center.

I wanted one of those delicious hotdogs myself, but I did promise.

I could smell the chlorine in the air as we approached the doorway to the recreation center.

Just to the left of us, the aroma from the snack bar coming from the food cooking on the grill inside was overwhelming. Wow, how wonderful this is, I thought.

We went inside to the ticket area, to my surprise, a boy from school I
