"In November 1983, I was sitting in a lesbian bar in Seattle. My lover was dancing with another woman. As I painfully watched her flirting with the other woman, I heard an audible voice.

"When I looked up, there was powerful presence standing next to the table where I was sitting. Jesus spoke, 'My child what are you doing here?' The voice was so real. 'I have so much better planned for you than the false security and identity that you live in now.'

"As I looked out onto the dance floor, I saw the most incredible vision: all the smiling faces turned to wax and started to melt. The laughter stopped. The Holy Spirit revealed to me that the broken hearts behind the smiling masks were not really laughing at all. More important was the reality that my heart was also scarred and broken... God began breaking through the denial. He showed me that I was trying to cover over deep emotional wounds. Then He spoke to me in the bar and brought me face-to-face with the truth about my life." - Rebekah Johnston
