What do believers do when they have a supernatural experience that others cannot connect with?
Jennifer Bagnaschi of the Deep Believer YouTube channel has been inspiring people to tell their testimonies of faith and supernatural encounters with God. But Bagnaschi herself has an incredible testimony of how she saw God’s divinity in an incredible experience.
In an exclusive interview with Charisma Media, Bagnaschi says she has seen the power of God throughout her life. After growing up in a church where miracles and deliverance were the norm, Bagnaschi knew that these kinds of occurrences were real. However, after moving from Pennsylvania to Connecticut, Bagnaschi says she realized that there are plenty of “unbelieving believers” when it comes to supernatural phenomena and the gifts of the Spirit.
“I realized that there were a lot of unbelieving believers. And when I would tell people of my supernatural experiences, how I would see angels, how I left my body, and you know how I came back and I saw Jesus…Christians won’t believe me. But the non-believers would,” Bagnaschi says.
Bagnaschi says this deficit of faith in the Christian community comes from putting more of our trust in ministers than in what the Word of God says. In her own experience, Bagnaschi desired to have a supernatural encounter with the Lord, praying that she would have this opportunity to see heaven. As she began to lose hope after a year of praying for this kind of experience, Bagnaschi says God gave her insight into the miraculous.
“I’m laying in bed. Next thing I know, I sit out of my body,” Bagnaschi says. “It just felt like I just left a thin sheet of something [and] sat up out of my body. It was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had.”

Bagnaschi says that while many have wondered if this was like a dream, she says it differs in that she had her right sense of mind and that everything she heard and smelled was heightened. Bagnaschi says that after God placed her back into her body, she still encountered the Lord through a vision.
“Next thing I know I’m taken in a vision where it’s a bright white room,” Bagnaschi says. “And there’s Jesus smiling at me.”
Bagnaschi’s incredible testimony of seeing God’s divine glory isn’t just for a few of us to know and believe, but rather the intimate presence she experienced with the Lord is at the heart of His desire for each of us: to know Him and be with Him for all eternity.
