DERRICK: I will never forget. It was February 11th, 2018. And I had just gotten off of a 12 hour shift. I knew I had to preach for our church service the next day. I went to bed and I said, “I’m just going to get three hours of sleep and I’ll be okay.” And so I went to bed and the next thing I knew, I had the sensation to get up and go to the bathroom.

DERRICK: And I remember I literally swung around, put my feet on the floor. I was in our guest bedroom because I didn’t want to disturb my wife. I started walking to the door and I extend my right hand. And when I reach out my right hand to turn the knob, it was literally like a bomb went off. I flew in the air, again, I flew in the air. I flew back and I hit the ground.

DERRICK: And when I hit the ground, Sid, I literally was laying on my back and I opened my eyes and the first thing I heard, literally heaven had broken into my room. Literally the atmosphere of heaven was there. The glory of God was in my room. I heard angels singing. I heard string instruments. And the first thing I noticed was the peace of God that filled the room. This was a real, tangible peace that could be felt. You feel like you could hug it. And it was literally like the air molecules were charged with the peace of God.

DERRICK: And so I sit up and I looked to my door to my right, where I was about to open and I see Jesus standing there. But his back is to me, he has a white robe on, he has long Jewish, great hair and he has copper tone skin. And immediately I processed that that’s Jesus. And I knew his presence. I knew it was him. And I’m just thinking. And so I call out and I say, “Jesus!”
