Maranatha “The Lord is coming”

By Sharon Reddi

Maranatha is a book about Sharon’s real-life heavenly encounters with God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and the angelic realm. It is a book of supernatural encounters through the Word of God and by the power of the Holy Spirit, and sees the Holy Bible coming to life through spiritual revelation.

Many Christians desire to encounter God. Maranatha will make believers hungry for more intimacy with God. This book carries an imparting grace to help every believer to enter into and experience new supernatural dimensions of encounters with the Holy Spirit.

Maranatha will create in every believer an insatiable hunger to understand God and His invisible Kingdom realm and will teach believers how to partner with the Heavenly hosts to release God’s plan for their lives.

You are invited to step into the supernatural realm with Maranatha and as he rests upon you, the Holy Spirit will sustain your love for Christ and you will realise that you are an heir of infinite glory, you belong to Christ and you will be gloried with Him.

“All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the word that was preached to you.” (1 Peter 1:24-25)

The 12 Apostles

I have had many dreams, visions and supernatural encounters with the Lord and His angels. Some are so vivid in my mind that I feel as if they happened only yesterday. Each time I think about those dreams and visions, it seems as if I am reliving the experience. This dream and encounter which I had with the Lord, is one of them.

It was a beautiful dream, something I cannot forget! Brian and I were standing on a planet in outer space, when another planet approached and hovered next to us. To my utter amazement, the Lord Jesus was standing on this planet. He was dressed in a white robe and stood there with a bright light, which blotted out His features, shining over His face. He stretched out His hand towards me and said, Come. I looked at Brian and when the Lord saw my reaction, He said to Brian, Okay, you come too. As we extended our hands to the Lord, He lifted us up on to His planet.

We found ourselves in the most incredible place - in a room like a tabernacle! I was overwhelmed by a feeling of liquid love that flowed all over me. There was an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity, which could not be compared with anything we had ever experienced on earth. A wonderful, exotic scent filtered through my nostrils. I have never smelt anything on earth quite like it! Every time I think about this dream, I am filled with the same fragrance which lingered over us.

I realised that we were in the Lord’s tabernacle, His incense prayer room. I glanced at a window on my right and could not believe my eyes at the fascinating scene it revealed. I was filled with joy and overawed as I gazed at a beautiful park with lush, green grass and colourful flowers. A sparkling lake was surrounded by fishermen and people housed in numerous caravans. Under the leafy trees, picnic rugs and food baskets indicated that picnics were the order of the day. People chatted happily and seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely. Children ran around in all directions on the grass, and everyone looked so peaceful and relaxed.

As I struggled to take in this heart-warming scene, I felt joy bubbling up like a fountain in me, and I said to the Lord, Lord, heaven is so beautiful! How do I learn more about You and heaven?

I could feel the Lord smiling at me and He replied, From the 12 apostles. Then He did something so amazing and humbling! He had a bowl of oil in His hands and came towards Brian and I. He anointed our heads, then went on His knees and anointed our feet with the oil as well. I felt fire going through my whole body and this anointing remained with me for a week after this dream. The Lord kept us in His tabernacle for three days before sending us back to earth!

During that week when I was so filled with the Holy Spirit, I wondered what the Lord meant when He mentioned the 12 apostles. Every time I looked at my Bible, I felt something stir within me. Then I realised
