From The Christian Post:
Media personality Kathie Lee Gifford opened up about the spiritual moments that have marked her faith journey, including a meeting with Jesus when she was a child and encounters with what she believed to be demonic manifestations.
Gifford, who came to faith in Jesus through the late Rev. Billy Graham, said that she first encountered Jesus in a dream when she was 6 years old. “I was raking leaves with my daddy, and I looked up, and there was Jesus sitting on a cloud,” she said. “He had His legs folded and … [He’s] making a fire with wood. … And I looked up, and I said … ‘Oh, it’s Jesus,’ and He looks down at me. He goes, ‘Kathie.’ Smiled at me.” One demonic encounter she said happened during a trip to Israel and the Middle East when she was 17. While visiting Bethlehem, Gifford said that she entered a church with her mother where other people were lighting candles. During the visit, Gifford said that she and her mother encountered a cloaked monk who growled at them, explaining that she and her mother had left their purses on the tour bus, so they could not leave a monetary offering.
