Chapter 4: The Gospel Simply Explained
REVELATIONS OF HELL
I urge you to take these messages about Hell very seriously. There are many, many people in Hell right now that thought they were right with God but they found out at the moment of their death that they were not, because of sin and disobedience in their lives, and then they found themselves in Hell. As God tells us in Phillipians 2:12, "Continue to work out your salvation in fear and trembling." Also, as it says in Hebrew 12:14 where it states that "without holiness no one will see the Lord." Both very direct statements about being very careful to live holy and obedient lives in the fear of God.
And if you serve Jesus with a purity of heart and wholehearted devotion and continuous communion with God, He will enable you to live holy and pure since you will continuously hear His voice in your spirit. And obeying and staying in continual fellowship with Jesus is not burdensome but will actually cause a continuous joy in your life – regardless of what is happening around you.
I have compared these testimonies very thoroughly with the Bible and I have found all of these below to be consistent with the Bible. All of these testimonies vividly illustrate how we will be judged if we don't repent of these sins. Even if you don't believe, God is still going to judge you according to His Word. Of course, God has provided these warnings because He so desperately wants you to choose eternal life. To choose Him. He really wants to bring you to heaven with Him. His warnings are His mercy to us. But He cannot choose for us. He has given us all a free will. It is up to each one of us to choose Him. To choose eternal life by repenting of all sin and surrendering our life completely and eternally to Him. Remember Jesus said that "He who endures to the end will be saved." Matthew 24:13. This means that our commitment is not a one time commitment but a continuous commitment during all of our life. We are to fervently love Jesus with all our heart and actions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Chapter 1: Hell Testimony About Lust, Pornography, And Sexual Immorality
by Mike Peralta
Note: The first 5 pages in this chapter is based on Dan Corner’s article: http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/lust.htm (Used by Permission)
In the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord Jesus must have shocked the people of His day when He equated lust to ADULTERY! His actual words from Matthew chapter 5 verses 28 and 29 are:
"But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed ADULTERY with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into HELL."
Please note the serious consequence of lust or mental adultery. Immediately after verse 28 where Jesus equates lust to adultery He describes the consequence in verse 29. And the consequence is Hell itself. According to Jesus, who always tells the truth, if you lust you will end up in Hell ! Therefore, this sin must not be taken lightly, as many people do.
The chief aim of this article is to provide the facts regarding "lust" as used in Matthew 5:28. Many downplay the serious consequences of lust. Similarly, remember this: Temptation in itself is not a sin. Jesus was tempted, yet Jesus never sinned. Therefore, temptation is not a sin. It only becomes a sin when you yield to it.
The Greek word rendered "lustfully" in Matthew 5:28, NIV, is found elsewhere and translated in such a way as to help us know what the Lord equated to mental adultery. This same exact word is found in Luke 15:16 and Luke 16:21. It is also significant to note that Jesus gave us these other usages. Hence, he chose to use the same exact word in these other teachings as he chose to use in Matthew 5:28! Those verses translate lustfully as longed and longing, respectively:
"He the Prodigal longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything." "And Lazarus was longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores." The facts surrounding the sad circumstances of the Prodigal and Lazarus, two other places where Jesus also used the word rendered "lustfully" as mentioned in Matthew 5:28, help us to better understand its meaning.
Regarding its usage by the Lord in Luke's gospel, it seems evident that this word carries a meaning with it that makes it much deeper than just a casual glance at a woman, as some wrongly think. To substantiate this, Strong's Concordance defines this word as "to set the heart upon, i.e. long for". Greek Dictionary, page 31, number 1937.
Near the end of preparing this book, the Holy Spirit prompted me to explain a little more on the meaning of lust. Usually we think that only sexual fantasies qualify as lust. But the phrase “long for” is revealing more about what lust is about. Following the lead provided by Strong’s Concordance, I referred to a thesaurus and found that other words synonymous with lust are: longing, desire, covet, wish, yearn, hunger, crave, ache, and pine. If you are longing for, desire, covet, wish, yearn, hunger, crave, ache, or pine for someone who is not your lawful spouse then that my reader is lust. When examining your heart please consider these additional words and test your heart to see if you have any of these sinful desires toward someone who is not your spouse.
When men lust they tend to emphasize the visual and physical aspects of the woman and hunger and crave for a woman that is not their lawful wife. When women lust they tend more to the emotional aspects of desiring, coveting, yearning, or pining for a man that is not their lawful husband.
Again, a casual glance at the opposite sex is not being referred to in Matthew 5:28. However, when actual lust does occur, that is, when one "longs for" another, then adultery is actually committed! To deny this teaching is to doubt God's Word and the Lordship of Jesus Christ! This also clearly refutes the statement I've often heard - "It's okay to look, meaning lust, but not to touch." Jesus never taught lust was okay! Nowhere is this form of adultery, though solely mental, less serious than other forms, although many treat it as such! Remember, Jesus said it can send one to Hell. Matthew 5:29 !
How awesome to ponder this fact in regard to all of the pornographic literature and media that can be found in this country, through magazines, movies, CD's, the internet, and even on TV. Mental adultery is rampant! Truly, this is an "adulterous generation," as Jesus said.
Men committing mental adultery should also be a sobering thought for women who profess to be Christian and desire to please the Lord. Paul wrote that women are to dress "modestly". 1 Timothy 2:9. Yet at the same time, Paul was a grace teacher in the truest sense. So this isn't "legalistic" as some accuse, but simple obedience! To disregard the way you dress might possibly cause someone to stumble into adultery! The same applies to a man and his dress, for women can lust too. Read what Jesus said in Matthew 18:6 about stumbling another into sin and think soberly about the consequences of greater judgment when you cause someone else to sin! Furthermore, a woman who dresses with the intent to make men lust after her is on a par with a prostitute!
In our generation, TV is the prime way people commit mental adultery. Sometimes even while watching news one can be exposed to spiritually unwholesome scenes which the devil is pleased to present. These spiritual pollutants flood into homes across our land. Then people wonder why they are having trouble with lust! It may very well be that more adultery is committed before the TV set than anywhere else!
Furthermore, it's a sad day when people who profess to be God's servants are ensnared by their TV as their precious free time is spent never to be regained! Our generation will have to account for this incredible waste of time at the Judgment. Please note I mentioned "our generation" since television has only been available commercially since just after World War II. TV as a means of distraction and temptation, is something which the Twelve disciples never had. Remember this: Before the invention of TV, Christians got along fine without ever watching it! You can too! Or at least you can reduce the amount of time wasted by being careful and only watching wholesome content. By reducing TV time you will have much more time to labor for the Kingdom in one form or another besides the other advantages of not being tempted to lust or adopt the world's values in the first place.
If you are having trouble with lust or know someone who is, the remedy, in part, is to cut off the source of temptation! It's that simple. If literature is the temptation, then stop going near it. If it's TV or movies, stop watching them. This is what you are to STOP doing. Paul wrote: "Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature" Romans 13:14 . Also, remember sinful desires such as lust, adultery are warring against your soul, 1 Peter 2:11. You must war back or be conquered. A fight is a fight and not a "bed of roses"!
Furthermore, to get victory over lust, you should START spending more time with the Lord in prayer and in the Bible meditating on and memorizing certain verses! Hiding God's word in your heart can help stop those mental temptations. The writer of Psalm 119 both prayed and hid God's word in his heart so he would not sin against God: "Do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you". Psalm 119:10,11. We all need to humbly follow this example.
In summary, victory over sin is not just what you do but also what you don't do! In other words, starve your sinful nature by not thinking about how to gratify it and feed your spirit with God's word by meditating in Scripture. Your voluntary thoughts, that is, the thoughts you choose to ponder when free to think about anything you want, are extremely important. Romans 8:5 says, "Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires."
Paul wrote, "The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life". Galatians 6:8. Notice that to reap destruction is the opposite of reaping eternal life. In other words, reaping destruction is reaping eternal death or Hell.
In the Old Testament, we also read of lust in passages like Proverbs 6:25- 26: "Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes, for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread, and the adulteress preys upon your very life." Again, lust leads to destruction and Hell! Therefore, do not take this sin lightly.
By the way, the word rendered "lustfully" in Matthew 5:28 is used in a good sense in 1 Timothy 3:1 and Hebrews 6:11. This latter verse reads: "We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure."
Paul emphasized free-will and human responsibility. He did this without contradicting his own grace message. He wrote, "Keep yourself pure". 1 Timothy 5:22. Undoubtedly, many will have to make MAJOR TV changes to obey this command! Victory over TV will benefit you and others in this life and throughout eternity, but get ready for the battle regarding it!
Job was the most unique man on earth in his day - being blameless, upright, a man that feared God and shunned evil. Job 1:8. This man said of himself, "I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl". Job 31:1. This is also very important in our day in light of Matthew 5:28-29 and the rampancy of pornographic literature, movies and commercials in our vile country.
Paul wrote, "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry". Colossians 3:5 . Please note: it's your responsibility coupled with the power of God. Romans 8:13. that is the victory over lust.
It might surprise some to learn that Jesus used the word from which we get our word "pornography" in Revelation 22:15, which the King James Version translates as whoremongers. In the greek the original word is pornos. From which we get the word pornography. The NIV bible translates the word as sexually immoral, and stated that along with some others, such are "outside" the city of New Jerusalem or Heaven. If we compare Revelation 21:8 to this same verse, we know their specific location is clearly the lake of fire!
Someone, who calls himself alex271, sent me the following testimony about the struggle they had with sexual immorality, and specifically about how God warned him about pornography and how that it would send him to the lake of fire.
- Beginning of alex271 Testimony -
I know how pleasurable sin can be. Even though I was married, I used to lust after a woman at work, I used to fantasize about her. And even masturbated for hours fantasizing about her. I admit, it was pleasurable. I also lusted after other woman as well. I also looked at pornography and lusted after some of those beautiful women and masturbated while looking at those naked women.
Hey, I was a sinner on my way to Hell just like many of you. But God got my attention and even spoke to me one day after I had been viewing some pornography and was on my way to go masturbate in a bathroom. He simply told me without anger in His voice:
"WHOREMONGERS, SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE."
This statement He actually spoke to me right after I viewed some pornography and on my way to go masturbate. What is worse at the time I went ahead and masturbated - even after God spoke this bible phrase to me.
At first I was wondering. Why is God telling me this? I even thought He was not referring to me. That is how deceitful sin actually is. In the midst of it - you don’t think you are guilty of it. It really is amazing how deceitful our hearts can be. Even when we know the scriptures.
Again the exact phrase God spoke to me and in a very clear voice was:
"WHOREMONGERS, SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE."
The statement that God spoke to me is part of a verse in the bible, in Revelation 21:8, King James Version which says, "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
This showed me that pornography, lust, and masturbation will definitely send me to Hell. Later I finally repented of this lust and adultery of my heart and I turned to Jesus with all my heart. It took a while but with God’s help I was finally able to overcome and learned how to keep pure. Don’t despair. If you really want to overcome God will help you. Just don’t play games with God. God hates that.
Having done the same types of sins that many of you have done and are doing, I cannot condemn you or judge you. I definitely do not think I am better than anyone else.
I just know with all my heart that all people who get involved in sexual immorality in any form will end up in Hell as God warns - unless they repent. Repent means to turn away from sin and totally give your life to Jesus. This I know because God never lies to us. Also God doesn't want any of us to go to Hell.
Remember: God's warning in Revelation 21:8.
WHOREMONGERS, SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE.
Going to Hell forever is not worth the temporary pleasures of sin. It's just not worth it.

In still another testimony the following was sent to me by someone who visited my website at, realityofhell.weebly.com. The person identified himself as luap123311. I will use luap for short. explains how he had a dream that his late father was in torment in Hell - and that what landed him there was his love of pornography.
- Beginning of luap Testimony -
Luap. October 6, 2010.
God has taken me to the " Lake of Fire " on two occasions and I saw that it is a Lake that is made of Field Stones and I saw a soul in the Lake trying to escape? but it could not and I saw rise and fall back into it - and the soul had Black Eyes - and I was really terrified to see someone there. I ask God to reveal who that soul was - so God gave another dream and I saw my father. His love to pornography got him there and there is nothing that I can do to help him. Now he will suffer for Eternity !
The next week luap wrote the following:
Luap. October 12, 2010.
My father took us to church every week but I guess he did not listen to the Gospels where Jesus Christ said if we Lust after a woman we have already fornicated with her. So - pornography that my father enjoyed brought him Eternal Damnation forever. Jesus means what he says!
- End of luap's Testimony -
So we see here another illustration that, Pornography and Lust WILL send you to Hell. Remember and believe what Jesus says in Revelation 21:8 about all forms of sexual immorality also called whoremongering, including adultery, fornication which is sex outside of marriage, lust, pornography which is lust and adultery of the heart, homosexuality, bestiality (sex with animals), and all other forms of sexual immorality:
"WHOREMONGERS, SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE"
Jesus does not lie. He will render judgment precisely as He warns. He will be sad and cry for you but He will still have to send you to Hell if you persist in sin and do not repent.
In yet another testimony, Jesus gave visions of Hell and Heaven to Pastor Yong-Doo Kim from Korea, some of his relatives, and some of the people in his church. The following is some excerpts from their testimonies.
- Beginning of Pastor Kim's Testimony -

Pastors and Church members committing adultery
My heart aches whenever ministers make headline news and their dirty secrets are exposed on TV. I would either turn the TV off or shred the newspaper in fear of my family getting wind of it. As a minister, I am very ashamed and embarrassed. I am bewildered, I do not know what I should do. I feel as though it is me being exposed since I am also a minister. I have no desire to discuss or expose the dirty hidden secrets of the other fallen ministers. However, the Lord had pressed me to record the details in this book.
Jesus commanded that we never commit the sin of adultery. Among the countless of people going to Hell, many of them are adulterers. The Lord had reminded us, "Didn't your church members witness the adulterers tormenting in Hell? Adultery is a sin that is very difficult to repent." The Lord hates His people committing spiritual adultery but He also despises people committing physical adultery even more.
Many ministers and church members are deluded in thinking that if they just confess their sins using the name of Jesus, they are absolutely forgiven. As a result, they continue to commit the same sin, repent again and think they are covered by grace. They trample on grace and do not hesitate to commit the same adulterous sin over and over. The Lord resented their delusion. Revelation 2:21-23. Before a person comes to Jesus, they do evil out of ignorance. Jesus is very angry that people have accepted Him as their Lord, but continue to sin repeatedly without hesitation. The Lord shouted angrily, "It will be very difficult to forgive ministers who commit adultery in secret. If they do not repent sincerely, they will end up in Hell!"
I compassionately pleaded, "Lord! They are human beings, they are flesh, therefore, they could still fall and make mistakes, right? If a person dies, he or she will not have the opportunity to repent. But while they are alive, won't they be forgiven if they repent? There are many verses in the bible that states that You will forgive, if one repents." The Lord replied, "the ministers know the scriptures very well, and yet if they commit adultery, they will be harshly judged. It will be difficult for them to be forgiven!" The Lord austerely reproved me.
I persistently pleaded to the Lord for mercy and refused to back down. I pleaded like Abraham did. "Lord! Although you are right, if you send them to Hell for their past sins without forgiveness, it would seem unfair. Among that group, there are probably some who have lead many souls to You. There are probably some ministers who are leading their church in a pleasing way. Are not some like this in the group of adulterers?" The Lord fearfully rebuked me, "As a Pastor, do you not know your scripture?" Jesus helped me remember Philippians 2:12, "continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling."
Although the Lord had rebuked me, I continued to debate and argue with Him. "My beloved Lord! But those ministers have sacrificed their whole life for you. They have spent their time on earth to serve You. Don't You think You should give them opportunities to repent? If I claim that Pastors go to Hell, who would believe me?"
There was a moment of silence and pause. The Lord then quietly and with dignity spoke. "God the Father agrees with Me. If the ministers who have committed adultery sincerely repent with fear, they shall be forgiven. But if they turn back to their wicked ways and commit the same sin after repentance, they will be mocking God! It will not matter whether they have lead small or mega ministries or have lead great or weak ministries, they will have committed the sin in which God hates the most. You will have to bear that in mind."
Then, in a vision, the Lord showed me a specific pastor who fell in love with a young sister in his church. They often met to have sexual relations. Eventually, their affair was exposed to the Pastor's wife. She was in such shock that her stress level was greatly elevated and even dangerous. The wife attempted to persuade the Pastor to repent, but he would not listen. The wife could no longer endure the pain and shock, so she became very depressed. Then, she committed suicide, a choice unbelievers make. Now she's in Hell and in great torment.
The Lord said, "Whenever I see that daughter, my heart is torn apart. How can I not send that Pastor to Hell? That Pastor is still in ministry. His repentance was not genuine. Even today, he is living a life of delusion and self deceived. His way of thinking is corrupt. No one can ever deceive me. No one can ever cover up the truth with lies!"
Blotting out names from the Book of Life
There once was a deaconess in our church. When she was living faithfully, she received many gifts from the Holy Spirit. However, the gifts were all taken back. Soon afterward, she began drinking and smoking frequently. Moreover, she would talk to a man over the telephone daily, and meet him in secret. I persistently attempted to persuade her from dating that man. I even yelled at her but she continued to see the man. God is patient with people. However, if people do not repent, they will be subject to His wrath. God showed me in a vision that He had erased her name from the book of life. When we found out, we all shook in fear.
When God gives us a chance, we must take it, no matter what. Jesus said, "That particular saint mocked God, and troubled the Holy Spirit. Therefore, if she does not mourn and sincerely repent, she will not be entering Heaven. If the judgment of the congregation members is hard, then how much more will I judge the Pastors who are committing adultery? The ministers must repent to the point of death. Currently, the ministers of today are mocking God, they say, 'these are the days of grace, and the gospel sets us free, just repent and one will be forgiven unconditionally!' These are the days one needs to be in fear more than the days of the old testament." The Lord warned us that the day is coming when we will all have to give account for our deeds.
As I write on this chapter, I am experiencing many hours of dismay and dissension. Jesus said, "Do we then nullify the law by this faith. Not at all! Rather we uphold the law." Romans 3:31. In fact, we are living our daily life within the Lord's amazing grace. However, living in His grace does not mean our sins just disappear. We are abusing God's grace if we do not repent. A daily repentant life is the fastest and shortest route to God's mercy and compassion.
- End of Pastor Kim's Testimony -
Notice in this testimony that the deaconess, at one time was a good obedient Christian. But when she backslid into sin, she caused her name to be erased from the book of life. This really should scare the Hell out of us. In Revelation 3:3-5, Jesus mentions that if one is not victorious over sin, then their names will be blotted out of the book of life.
In the bible, Jesus says: "So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Therefore if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you. But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels."
Because of its serious implications, let us keep looking at Revelation 3:5. For “he who overcomes - I will not erase his name from the book of life.” This is a solemn and tremendous claim. The very same finger of Christ that writes, is the very same finger that can erase, a name from the Book of Life. It is wise to take special note of the plain and solemn implication that your name will be struck out of that Book - if you deliberately keep on sinning and keep soiling your garments. The words of Jesus in Revelation 3:5, as well as Hebrews 10:26-31, and 2 Peter 2:20-21, and many others, are much too plain to be neglected or misunderstood. It is possible that your name can be struck off the rolls. Do not let unbelief or the distractions of this world blind you or deceive you from that fact. Take it into account in your daily life. It is possible for a man to "cast away his confidence", Hebrews 10:35. It is possible for him to make a shipwreck of his faith, 1 Timothy 1:19. And, if your name is not in the Lamb's Book of Life, then at the moment of your death you will be cast into eternal Hell.
Notice also how Jesus states that His grace cannot be trampled on, and that repeated sinning is mocking God and that true repentance must involve repenting to the point of death. In other words, God's grace is not a license to sin. In Jude 1:4 God's Word states: "For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord."
If we repeatedly sin over and over and only repent on the surface, even when we confess our sins, and ask for forgiveness, but then go back to sinning over and over again. Then our repentance is not genuine. And we are essentially treating God's grace as a license to sin. As seen in Pastor Kim's testimony, in these cases, Jesus is saying that this is mocking God. And as it says in Galatians 6:7, "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows." And in the case of lust, pornography, adultery, having sex outside of marriage, and in all forms of sexual immorality, what you reap is eternal torment in Hell itself.
As Jesus says, we must repent to the point of death and not repeat the sin. This is genuine repentance. Then and then only will God forgive you. Forgiveness happens only when we truly forsake the sin and do not repeat it. As Proverbs 28:13 states, "But whoever confesses and forsakes his sins will have mercy." To truly repent means to truly forsake the sin. Ask God to help you overcome. He is eager to help you. Do whatever it takes to overcome and stop sinning. If you don't you will forever wish you had after you are in torment in Hell forever. It really is that serious!
In still another scripture, Hebrews 10:26-31, God warns us: If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge His people." It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
It is revealing to note that the warning in Hebrews 10:26-31 was addressed to believers. Notice the phrase "the blood of the covenant that sanctified them", showing that the people who are deliberately sinning are those who in the past gave their life to Jesus but now are behaving unfaithfully and wickedly. It is very obvious that the warnings of Revelation 3:5 and Hebrews 10:26 and others are warnings to Christians who are back into a lifestyle of sinning. And the promised judgment for those who do not repent is eternal Hell itself. Since the promised judgment in Hebrews 10:26 is, “a fearful expectation of judgment and raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.”
God is deadly serious about His warnings to us about sexual immorality. In another testimony, Doctor Roger Mills describes how Jesus took him to Hell and showed him many things in Hell and several people who are now in Hell's torment, even ministers who came to Christ in the past but lived a life of sexual immorality and other sins.
- Beginning of Testimony by Doctor Roger Mills -
Excerpt from the book: "While out of My Body I Saw God, Hell and the Living Dead" by Doctor Roger Mills.
The Lord God Jesus continued to say, "The souls that you see here this hour are being tormented in the Outer Darkness of Hell. They have been here for a long time. Many years. They are ministers from around the world. They had plenty of time to repent of their hypocritical, unrepentant, sinful, and evil ways, but they did not. I had given them much space to repent, but they only ignored my loving grace. They were warned. They knew what would happen to them if they continued to blaspheme by Holy Word, and live hypocritical."
I looked to the right of me, and I saw a huge shadow racing across the ground. As the shadow came closer to where the Lord God Jesus and I were standing, I got a closer look at it and I realized that I was not looking at a shadow. It was thousands of tiny black spiders. I watched in horror as the spiders raced across the ground in masses, crawling up on the bars to the very top of the jail cells, where the bishops were. I noticed they had teeth and red eyes. I had never seen a spider with teeth before. I watched as they entered the jail cells, and began to crawl all over the bishops, attacking them and biting them all over their bodies with their teeth. There were masses of them; so many that they covered all the cells. You could not see the cells or the poor souls that were in them because thousands of those black spiders covered them like an enormous black blanket. Oh what screams and cries came from within the cells, from the apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, pastors, and bishops, who were the disobedient children of God! Then the Lord God Jesus said to me, "These are the cursed ones, the disobedient children that I called into My kingdom, but this hour they are here in this place of outer darkness, tormented and suffering for their disobedience."
Then the Lord God Jesus said, "Look, listen and learn. Those spiders you see are demonic spirits who were assigned by the Prince of Hell to go to Earth and seduce ministers of God. These demonic spiders have the power to cause men and women to be sexually seduced. They are sexual seducing spirits, better known as unclean spirits. They are part of the blame for those preachers that you see in those prison cells to be here this very hour. These preachers became involved in all sorts of fornication: adultery, homosexuality, masturbation, pornography, lust, the ways of Sodom and Gomorrah, sexually taking the advantage of little children and bestiality. Had they repented, gaining control over their sexual appetite, they would not have been here. Only if they had not given heed to those seducing demonic unclean spirits that appear to be spiders. All demon spirits do not look like this. There are different shapes and forms of many sizes."
- End of Testimony by Doctor Roger Mills -
It is very obvious from God's word and these testimonies that God really means what he says in Revelation 21:8 which states that:
The sexually immoral, that is, "WHOREMONGERS SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE."
The Eternal Danger of Lust
What is God's view of how important your sexual life is?
1 Thessalonians 4:6 says, "that no man transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we solemnly forewarned you." And in Revelations 22:15 God plainly tells us that: “Outside [of Heaven] are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.”
This means that the consequences of lust and all forms of sexual immorality including pornography, adultery, sex outside of marriage, are going to be worse than the consequences of mere bodily death. Jesus said, "Do not fear those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear. Fear him who after he has killed has power to cast into Hell". Luke 12:4-5. In other words God's vengeance is much more fearful than earthly annihilation. And according to 1 Thessalonians 4:6, God's vengeance is coming upon those who disregard the warning against lust.
As previously mentioned, in Matthew 5:28-29 Jesus says, "Every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into Hell." Take careful notice here that Jesus said Heaven and Hell are at stake in what you do with your eyes and with the thoughts of your imagination. Lust will cause, “your whole body to be thrown into Hell.”
Again here Jesus says that if you don't fight this sin of lust -- which is adultery of the heart -- with the kind of seriousness that is willing to gouge out your own eye, you will go to Hell and suffer there forever.
There are many professing Christians who have a view of salvation that disconnects it from real life, and that nullifies the warnings of the Bible and puts the sinning person who claims to be a Christian beyond the reach of biblical warnings. And this doctrine is comforting millions on the way to Hell.
Simply stated, Jesus said, if you don't fight lust, you won't go to Heaven. The stakes are much higher than mere physical death.
Justifying Faith Is Sin-Fighting Faith
Are we not, then, saved by faith, by believing in Jesus Christ? We are indeed! Those who persevere in faith shall be saved. How do you lay hold on eternal life? Paul gives the answer in 1 Timothy 6:12, "Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal life."
Recall also the essential role of faithful obedience as Jesus emphasizes in Matthew 7:21-23, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ ” Real faith is always accompanied with real obedience. You cannot have one without the other.
The Apostasy That Must Be Destroyed
The great apostasy that I am trying to destroy in this message is the deception that says, “faith gets you to Heaven and holiness only gets you rewards.” This is the great deception of our day. In Hebrews 12:14 God says, "Without holiness no man shall see the Lord". So according to the bible -- which is God's Word -- not only faith but also holiness, which reveals true faith, are needed to see the Lord and make it to Heaven.
Again in Matthew 7:21 Jesus says, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven." Jesus is so clear in his warning about disobedience. If you choose to accept man's word over God's word then you will reap disastrous and eternal consequences. Only God's word can be depended on to be absolutely true.
The battle for obedience is not optional. The battle for obedience is absolutely necessary for salvation because, obedience itself IS the fight of faith. The battle against lust is absolutely necessary for salvation because it is the battle against unbelief. Faith delivers from Hell and that same faith, if genuine, also delivers from lust and from sexual immorality and from Hell. This means if you are in lust or sexual immorality then you are not in faith, and if you are not in faith then you are destined for Hell, unless you repent.
True faith will lead you into holiness and the reward of seeing the Lord in Heaven. But if you persist in lust or sexual immorality in any form and therefore lack holiness, you will not make it to Heaven and you will not see the Lord.
Again, as God says in Hebrews 12:14, "WITHOUT HOLINESS NO MAN SHALL SEE THE LORD".
- Hell Testimony from Dr. Roger Mills -
Excerpt from the book: “While Out Of My Body I Saw God Hell And The Living Dead” by Dr. Roger Mills In this testimony Jesus gives Dr. Roger Mills a tour of Hell and shows him many people in torment there.
In this testimony Jesus is explaining what will happen to sinful Christians who do not repent. Specifically Jesus reveals what happens even to “believers” that commit adultery in their heart.
- Beginning of Testimony by Dr. Roger Mills -
“But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.” 1 Timothy 5:6.
The Lord God-Jesus continued to say to me, “I am going to introduce you to some people, and I will let you see them as though they were already living in their future. What I am telling you is this: I will allow you to see and talk to certain people in this very room, all of whom are dead, yet are very much alive on Earth!”
There were many people in this room, and some of them I recognized as preachers! I was shocked to see one preacher in particular that I knew. He was my friend when he was alive on Earth! He did not see me, but I saw him. There were many other people I saw that I knew could not possibly be dead, yet I saw them in the Room of the Future Dead, in Hell. I saw people who I thought would never be there and the ones that I thought would go to Hell, I did not see.
Immediately, I could see through the wall. It appeared as if I were watching a television screen. I saw a jail cell, with rusty black iron bars. The bars ran up from the dirt ceiling and down to the dirt floor. It was a very small cell, and inside, lying on the dirt floor was my brother Randy. I remember him distinctly. I said to the Lord God-Jesus, “I know who that is! That is my oldest brother, Randy!” Then the Lord God-Jesus said to me. “I have brought you here to Hell this hour so that you can see his future. So that you can go back to the Earth and tell him to change and repent from his lukewarm and sinful-Christian lifestyle. If he doesn’t repent, he will be here in Hell. Tell him that I know about the many unconfessed and unrepented acts of sin he has committed, and the hurt and pain he has caused his family. I know of his arrogance, I know of his pride and I also know about the pain and hurt that is in his heart.”
Immediately I saw two more jail cells that contained my brothers, Michael and Bernard. Jesus gave me the same message for both of them. I asked the Lord God-Jesus, “Where is my brother Tony?” The Lord God-Jesus answered and said, “The demonic spirit named the Prince of Hell assigned demonic creatures to take him as well as your other brothers to their assigned jail cells, where they shall receive their temporary punishments of torment for their unconfessed and unrepented sins. Then on the Final Day of Judgment, I will command that the Prince of Hell release them from their jail cells, and they will be judged for their lukewarm and backsliddenChristian lifestyle. Then they shall be cast into the Lake of Fire, which is the Second Death.”
After hearing the Lord God-Jesus say this, I cried bitterly. Then He said, “There is nothing that I can do about it that I haven’t already done, but there is something that you can do about it! Go back to the Earth and warn your brothers before it is too late! If they repent, I will have mercy upon them, forgive them and cleanse them from all unrighteousness, but if they don’t, great will be their punishment in the Outer Darkness of Hell.”
Then the Lord God-Jesus said to me, “Come!” We continued to walk through the Room of the Future Dead. He said,” I brought you into this room because I knew that you would appreciate it.” The Lord God-Jesus told me to turn around and look. There, sitting approximately five feet before me was a black wooden chair. Sitting on the chair was a image of a person with their back turned toward me. I stared at the image and I knew instantly who it was. I walked over to the chair and looked into the face of that person. Recognizing that it was my best friend, Richard, I yelled at the top of my voice in complete horror, “Richard, what are you doing in this terrible place?!” His response was silence. I put my hand on his shoulders and said, “Talk to me, Richard! What’s wrong?” He gave no response, except for his cold, transfixed stare at nothing. I continued to ask him over and over again, “What’s wrong? Talk to me!” Still, I received no response but silence. Just then, an eerie feeling came over me. It was as though I could feel his emotions, and those I perceived were that of rage and hate. I noticed that now, when I looked into his face, his countenance changed.
In thought I said, “This doesn’t look like the Richard I know.” He did not seem to be the same person that I knew back on the Earth. At one time, joy and peace radiated from his face. Now hate, bitterness and meanness dominated his facial expression - even his eyes. I became frightened.
Just then, the Lord God-Jesus said to me, “Look, listen and learn. I have brought you here to this Room of Outer Darkness in Hell to see your friend Richard as he really is.” The Lord God-Jesus knew that I was confused at what I had just heard him say about Richard because the Richard that I had always known was loving, sensitive and compassionate. The person sitting in that chair was not him.
The Lord God-Jesus continued to say, “As I have told you before, I am the Alpha and the Omega; the beginning and the end and the first and the last. I can show anyone his or her past and future. I allowed you to see a small portion of Richard’s future. He has died and come here to Hell. While he was yet on Earth, he lived another life that you knew nothing about. He was an adulterer and he lusted in his heart for women; sexual perversion polluted his heart. He began to tell lies, and at moments of rage, profanities would issue from his mouth. I came to him on many occasions by my Spirit and convicted him of his wrongdoings. He knew that he was doing wrong, but at certain times he just stopped caring to correct himself.
Marital problems, along with other problems, began to invade his life. The more that I tried to love him and warn him, the more stubborn and rebellious he became, until one day, Satan killed him in a car wreck and brought him here to Hell. He became angry, mean and bitter about being here. Immediately, I came to him and he asked me why he was in Hell. He said to me, “I am a Christian. I am a member of the Church. I have done long work for you, Lord.” Then I said to him, “You know the reason why you are here. I have pleaded with you to repent of your sins, especially the adultery. You stopped for a while, but the lust and adultery in your heart grew worse later on. You knew and read what it says in my word about adultery.” Exodus 20:14, “Thou shall not commit adultery.” Matthew 5:27- 28, “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”
Then the Lord God-Jesus continued to say that Richard had told Him that he had changed, and pleaded with Him to let him out. The Lord God-Jesus explained, “I said to him, ‘I was not the cause for you to be here. I never sent you to Hell and I can’t let you out.’ ” Richard having heard that, walked away very slowly and with much anger. I began to cry, and I said to the Lord God-Jesus, “What is going to happen to him?” The Lord God-Jesus said, “Soon, evil spirits will come for him, and throw him into a cell and torment him, right up to the time of the great throne judgment.”
“Please let him out! Let him out!” I said. The Lord said to me, “I did not send him to Hell. He sent himself. Neither is it my decision to let him out. There is nothing that I can do for him that I have not already done. However, there is something that you can do. That is why I have brought you here. I want you to go back to the Earth and tell him everything that I showed you and allowed you to hear. Tell him that I love him, and I want him to repent.”
After hearing the Lord God-Jesus say that, I knew that there was a chance Richard may not die and come to Hell. I felt a little relief, but my heart was still heavy. I was depressed and frightened as we continued to journey through the Outer Darkness of Hell. In the Room of the Future Dead, I also saw many relatives of mine, but in particular I saw my dad. I called out to him, but there was no response. I tried desperately to find him, but trying to find him was like looking for a needle in a haystack. He quickly disappeared amongst the thousands of people that were in that room. I knew then that it was just a matter of time – that he would die soon. I had a chance to go back to the earth and reach him before it was too late.
- End of Hell Testimony from Dr. Roger Mills -
Knowing how prevalent the sin of lust, pornography, and masturbation is among men, and woman too, I also present the following which is a very helpful article from, Into The Light Ministries.
(Free website download.)
The title of the article is:
A 12 Letter Dirty Word: Masturbation.
http://www.intothelight.org/masturbation.asp
This article is from a single Christian males perspective, however the principles are the same for both men and women, married or not.
This is a subject that no one wants to talk about. Mainly because most of us are guilty of it and continue to be or have been guilty of it in the past.
We will cover four things that have to be established on this subject and we will cover them one at a time.
Question 1. Is masturbation a sin?
By the Word of God yes it is.
Question 2. How bad is it?
We know there are no degrees to sin. It's like a woman saying I am a little bit pregnant. She either is or she isn't. If she is that baby is going to grow. That may be a bad metaphor but if you let sin go, it will grow, and it will give birth to death not life.
Question 3. How wide spread is it?
Question 4. How do we stop, repent and turn away from it?
Is masturbation a sin and if so how bad is it? The first clue should be why would God convict you of it if it weren't sin? Why after masturbating do you feel guilty and empty?
1st Corinthians chapter six verse eighteen: "Shun immorality and all sexual looseness, flee from impurity in thought, word or deed. Any other sin which a man commits is one outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." Amplified Version.
Matthew chapter five verse twenty eight: Jesus said "But I say to you that everyone who so much as looks at a woman with evil desire, that is lust, for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
Guys I don't care what woman or women you are thinking about when you masturbate, if they are married or not or just made up. The fact is your thoughts are impure and the deed is too. God's Word commands us to shun and flee from these thoughts, not dwell on and use them. You may say that nice and toned down term it's just 'self-sex'. God says you are in adultery and fornication. It is sin.
1st Corinthians chapter six verses nineteen and twenty: "Do you not know that your body is the temple, the very sanctuary, of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, whom you have received, as a gift, from God? You are not your own, you were bought with a price, purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body."
Matthew chapter twelve verse thirty five: "The good man from his inner good treasure flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth evil things."
James chapter one verses thirteen thru fifteen. "Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted from God; for God is incapable of being tempted by, what is, evil and He Himself tempts no one. But every person is tempted when he is drawn away, enticed and baited by his own evil desire, that is lust and passions. Then the evil desire, when it has conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is fully matured, brings forth death."
That evil passion to masturbate is yours and yours alone it is an evil desire in your heart. If you are born again and you being the very temple of Almighty God, decide to drag Him through it. In all your fantasies and thoughts you bring God along, is it any wonder He is grieved? It is sin.
Sex was a gift from God for a married couple to give of themselves to each other. Masturbation is selfishness pure and simple. It is sin.
You a man are having sex with you a man, what's that called; I don't care what you are thinking of. You, a man, are performing a physical act with you a man. It is sin.
Romans chapter twelve verse one: "I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of, all, the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies, presenting all your members and faculties, as a living sacrifice, holy, devoted and consecrated, and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable, rational, intelligent, service and spiritual worship."
When you masturbate you do none of these, you do just the opposite. It is sin.
How bad is it? It is a grievous sin and it will grow and bring forth death.
How wide spread is it? Jesus said the last days would be as the days of Noah and Sodom. Luke 17:26-29.
Some of these statistics are as much as twelve years old and some have to do with pornography. Men you know what you do when you look at porn. In a 1994 survey of 600 Christian men. Of the married men who responded 61% said they masturbated, with 82% saying they did it at least once a week. 96% of single men under the age of 20 admitted to a masturbation habit. Only 23% gave "enjoyment" as a reason for doing it. The rest said "from habit," "because of their sex drive," "they were addicted to it," or from "lack of an outlet for sex" as the reason they engaged in masturbation.
In his book, "Men's Secret Wars", Patrick Means reveals a confidential survey of evangelical pastors and church lay leaders. 64% of these Christian leaders confirm that they are struggling with sexual addiction or sexual compulsion including, but not limited to use of pornography, compulsive masturbation, or secret sexual activity.
A study of university networks by Palisades Systems found searches for child pornography at 230 colleges nationwide. The research revealed that 42% of all searches on the file-to-file sharing systems involved child or adult pornography. The study also found that 73% of movie searches were for pornography, 24% of image searches were for child pornography, and only 3% of the searches did not involve pornography or copyrighted materials.
In December of 2000, the National Coalition to Protect Children and Families surveyed 5 Christian Campuses to see how the next generation of believers was doing with sexual purity:
48% of males admitted to current porn use 68% of males said they intentionally viewed a sexually explicit site at the school. From MSNBC Survey 2000: 60% of all website visits are sexual in nature.
At 13.3 billion dollars, the 2006 revenues of the sex and porn industry in the U.S. are bigger than the NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball combined. Worldwide sex industry sales for 2006 are reported to be 97 billion dollars.
To put this in perspective, Microsoft, who sells the operating system used on most of the computers in the world, in addition to other software, reported sales of only 44.8 billion dollars in 2006. Internet Filter Review. Just one more identifier if you are still wondering if we are in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The number one search term used at search engine sited is the word "sex". Users searched for "sex" more than any other terms such as "games," travel," "music," "jokes," "cars," "weather," "health," and "jobs" combined. The study also found that "pornography and porno" was the fourth-most searched for subject. From Alexa Research.
When I was a kid I would try to sneak a look at playboy magazines. Now we have it piped into our homes by cable, by dish, by the Internet. We can even download it on our phones. We don't have to look on the street as in the days of Sodom; it's in our homes and it's in the church.
How widespread is masturbation? It is rampant everywhere, in the church and in the world and all the sin, the porn, child porn, prostitution that blossoms from it.
Do you think that the girls that are in the porn industry enjoy it?
"Most girls who enter the porn industry do one video and quit. The experience is so painful, horrifying, embarrassing, humiliating for them that they never do it again." Luke Ford, quoted by CBS News.
Now think about this. Hollywood currently releases 11,000 adult movies per year - more that 20 times the mainstream movie production, films that you can view at you local cinema. LA Times Magazine, 2002. In an average porn movie there are between 5 and 20 girls that's between 55,000 and 220,000 girls as young as they can get them to be used and scared this way a year. These are just the legal ones not counting the one made with minors or children. That is just in the U.S.
God is going to hold you personally responsible for your sin of masturbation if you do not repent. But you are every bit as guilty of sin as those girls that got lured in to doing a movie. You are every bit as guilty as the producers of that movie that lured them into it. Why? You gave them your money to buy them. You helped make those producers rich, rich enough to lure those young girls with the money or a quick fix; you gave them the money every time you rented a movie. Are you so foolish and I am talking to Christian men, are you so foolish that you think God is going to punish those producers, send them to Hell and just let you slid on by when you supported it. Just because you wanted to masturbate? Just so you could get your selfish, ungodly two-minute high.
The average time a porn movie is watched in a hotel room is 12 minutes. Time dot com. March 29, 2005.
1st Corinthians chapter six verse nine: "Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, misled: neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality."
Masturbation is sexual immorality. Jesus said that sexual immorality will take you to Hell. The fruit of it is that it has help build a multi billion-dollar industry that has helped to destroy millions of lives. Keep practicing this sin and stand before Jesus with any excuse you wish. Gods Word says the sexual immoral will not enter in but will be cast into the lake of fire.
How do we stop, repent and turn from it? God has delivered me from pot, cocaine, crystal, acid, speed and alcohol. With each of these came a battle. Of all of these and some of these drugs I did for decades. The sin of masturbation was the biggest battle. But if you say that God can't deliver you for any reason, it's too strong or that's the way I'm made, if you give any reason stating that God can't deliver you of this sin you have: 1. Just called Almighty God a liar. 2. Just proved you don't want to be delivered.
1st Corinthians chapter ten verse thirteen: "For no temptation, no trail regarded as enticing to sin, no matter how it comes or where it leads, has overtaken you and laid hold of you that is not common to man. That is, no temptation or trail has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear. But God is faithful to His Word and to His compassionate nature, and He can be trusted not to let you be temped and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with temptation He will always also provide the way out, the means of escape to a landing place, that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently."
Jesus took all our sin indeed the sin of the whole world upon the cross. He came to set us free that we might live a holy and pleasing life toward God. Those who are set free by the Son of God are free indeed. God is faithful and He can be trusted, He will let no temptation come to you that is beyond your ability to resist and endure.
1st Thessalonians chapter four verses three and four: "FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD, that you should be consecrated, separated and set apart for pure and holy living: that you should abstain and shrink from ALL sexual vice, that each one of you should know how to possess, control, manage, his own body in consecration, that is purity, separated from things profane, and honor."
It is God's will that you live a life free from sexual sin. A life of pureness and holiness in thought and deed. He would not require this of you if He knew you could not do it. He does not call you to build a house without giving you the tools, skill and materials to do it.
You still have to do the labor and it can be hard work. The question is, are you willing to do what it takes?
You first have to come to realize how deadly serious this sin is. It was easy for me to say I know I was a drunk and a drug addict. God said no drunkards shall inherit the Kingdom of God. When something has that much control over you, you know it.
I first had to realize it was a sin not a disease. That would mean that I was in danger of going to Hell because I was sick. I did not catch drunkenness like I would catch the flu.
It was because of my actions and lack of actions, choices I made that led me to depend on alcohol and drugs to deal with my life and myself.
It is the same with masturbation. Yes God gave you a sex drive. Yes God made women attractive. Yes God gave most men a desire to have that one companion to be intimate with in all areas of life and not just sexually. That is why God gave us marriage.
Paul wrote that he wished that all men were like he himself single or unmarried. But this was a gift from God for him to fulfill his calling that the Lord had placed upon is life. 1st Corinthians 7: 7-9. Most men and I believe most women do not have that gift. At the same time God clearly states that we are not to walk in any sexual sin. Sex is a gift that is not to be opened until you are married, sex is a gift that He gave to bless a husband and wife not us singles. Yes, God gave me a sex drive and I thank God He did, but it is not my master, Jesus is.
Here is part of the key, is Jesus your Lord? Are you subject to His will and not to your own?
When I went to God seeking deliverance from drinking it never happened. I could not understand why. I begged God but alcohol was my master. I sought Christ to get a problem out of my life. I did not give up my life to get Christ's life. It was I that lived not Christ Jesus that lived in me.
When I finally realized that masturbating was every bit as damming as being a drug addict, and had just as much control of me, and was just as destructive to me and those around me, just as grievous to my Lord and Savior who died for me that I could be free, it was then that I saw what I had to do. I had to go; I had to die, so Jesus could have that area of my life and live through that area of my life.
When I started to seek God just to know Him more, just to draw closer to Him, and know and love the One who made me, He began to show me why I drank and took drugs. God is a loving Father and He wants to remove anything that separates Him from His children. He started to show me the roots of the problem were as I had always focused on the fruit of the tree. He then helped me pull up the roots and the tree died.
It is the same with masturbation don't go seeking God just to get rid of the problem. Don't seek God just to get something from Him, seek Him to get to know Him. He knows it is a serious problem and He wants you free of it more than you do. If you are truly born again from above, you are a part of His body. He wants to impart His life in you. He may show you a lot of roots you will have to pull. There may be some things you may have to repent of that you never tied into the question of 'why does this urge to sin win in me?'
There is a major difference between the sin of being a drunk or a drug addict and the sin of masturbation. I did not have a God given desire to get drunk and puke all over. I learned that all on my own. I do have a God given desire to find the woman God has for me and get married. Masturbation is the abuse of that gift. I'm already cheating on my wife and I'm not even married yet. If like Paul I had the gift to be single I would not have that desire at all. Many people say they have that 'gift' but are trying to stamp out the desire when God wanted them to have a wife and they live a lonely miserable life or they secretly sin.
Yes it is a God given desire but His will was never for it to be your master. Here is what I did. First I made a decision to give God all of my life. I thought I had but I had just given Him bits and pieces before I realized what I was doing and grew tired of the 'piece game'. And here is what you must do, you must totally surrender, give it up, and abandon yourself to God. Jesus said, "If a man puts his hand to the plow and looks back he is no longer fit to be my disciple." The more I really got to know Jesus and His character, the more I became determined to let nothing come between us. God and His will became the primary focus of my life. And now it is the only focus of my life.
If I am to marry, that will be great, if I am to remain single, then that will be great too. I asked God to take the desire away. He didn't but I would have been perfectly content if He did.
Let me just put in here that I learned not to care what people think about me. The whisperers, why does he not get married and do this or that? I am not going to stand and give an account to those people I will to Jesus Christ.
I also realized that this sin would take me to Hell. When you deliberately sin you deliberately reject Christ. We do not know the day or the hour or the second of the rapture. Ask yourself what you want to be doing when Jesus returns for His bride without spot or wrinkle. Laying there masturbating was not on my list.
I determined to fight it. It is an abuse of a God given gift. It is abnormal sex. Not only is it grievous to God but you are also teaching yourself abnormal sexual behavior.
It will be a battle, you have trained yourself to get your quick fix every bit as much as drug addict needs a shot or a snort or a hit of his drug. Your flesh will want it. Remember, Gods Word says to walk after the Spirit not the flesh. When the thought or desire first enters your mind the battle is on. If you had an enemy that was trying to kill you and you hear the sound of a bullet entering the chamber of his gun you don't stand in an open field and decide what to do, YOU MOVE, you react, you get to some cover and you get ready to fire back. Someone once said "you can't keep a bird from flying over your head, but you can stop it from making a nest in your hair." You can't stop the thought from entering your mind but you don't have to dwell on it, MOVE.
Take every thought captive to Christ get you mind on God and what He's called you to do. Get under the cover of the Almighty. The flesh may say to you 'I want it, I want it', again and again. And it can be strong, it may the first time you really ever battled your flesh before, if it is, consider it a revelation, now you understand a little better all those scriptures about fighting the flesh, so fight it.
As I said, especially at first, it can be a real battle but it is a real man, a grown up man, a man of God who is in control of his flesh, one who does not let his flesh control and dictate to him. A real man fights, it is trying to kill you, and sin does not show mercy. You are commanded by God to treat it the same way. I don't care if it attacks you so powerfully that at three in the morning you get up and wax your car to get your mind off it, if that still doesn't work buy a bigger car, buy a fleet if you have to but you can not give in.
Quit watching movies and TV. shows with sexual content, any sexual content, quit the books, the magazines.
Romans chapter twelve verse two: "Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the (entire) renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]."
Your friends might give you grief and say it's only a PG or R rated movie even 15 year olds go to them. Yaw, they do and look at the fruit.
Your mind is a container; God gives you the power to renew it. If you keep putting trash in it, it is a trash container and all you are doing is giving your enemy more bullets to fire at you. Put Godly things in and it will become a Godly container. Get back to basics. Read Gods Word and fellowship with those that are serious about serving the Lord and not hiding their own sin, confess your sins one to another, bring it to the light, it's the devil who works in the dark. Pray and ask for God to reveal His will for your life and I mean every part of it. Then do it. Jesus said, "Where I am my servant shall be." Not the other way around. Gods has a plan for you He thought up before you were born, get to it. If you want God to reveal more of His will to you, you first have to do what He has already revealed. Why would He show you more of His plan when you have not obeyed what you already know?
Remember its Heaven and Hell serious. Staying in and repeating a known sin is your choice and you are choosing it over God. God will give you the victory but you have to fight the battle.
As you do these things and anything else the Lord may show you the attacks become less fierce and farther apart. But always be prepared. You have to as Paul said "die daily" and Romans chapter six verse eleven and twelve. "Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God, living in unbroken fellowship with Him, in Christ Jesus. Let no sin therefore rule as king in your mortal, short-lived, perishable, bodies, to make you yield to its cravings and be subject to its lusts and evil passions."
I have also been asked to write an article on dating and courtship because the next question I usually get from single men is how do I find a wife? If they have read the Word they usually quote 1st Corinthians 7:27 emphasizing the "seek not a wife" part with a pained look on their face.
Dating and courtship is a whole different study and I will write more on this later. But in brief I will share this since masturbating is sin and it's good to know what is not. The gift of sex is for married couples, that they may express in the physical the love God gave them, for each other to be shared between them alone.
First if anyone can find anywhere in the Word of God that dating as we understand it today is scriptural I would like to see it. It is not. That does not mean you can't meet and get to know members of the opposite sex. But the Word is clear that you treat them as sisters.
"Treat older women like mothers and younger women like sisters, in all purity." 1st Timothy 5:2.
Read the in all purity part again. You don't decide you like her and drive off to Lookout point even if she wants to. Trust me you don't want the girl that is willing to break her vow before God and you are doing the same. In fact if you really love and respect her you would never put her in a place where there could be even a hint of sexual immorality. The devil is a liar and the accuser of the Saints he does not care that nothing has happened between you and her. He will slander her and you if you give him the chance. A Godly husband protects his wife; a Godly man protects his sister. He does not take his sister out and then make out with her.
Meeting the lady and getting married is a gift from God every bit as being single such as Paul's gift. When it is time to receive that gift , and God knows when it is time, let Him bring the lady across your path that He has for you. You trust Almighty God with your eternal salvation but you can't trust Him to bring you a mate? God says He will give you the desire of your heart. He can say that because He is the one who gave you the desire in the first place. When it is time, and fortunately for you and her that will be when you are mature enough to take headship for one of His daughters and when it is His will, for God wants godly families, you can pray and He will answer.
But first I would pray that the Lord would reveal to you what it is to be a godly husband and to put you through the refining fire so that you are ready to take that position. The Word states that when you get married you "shall have trouble in the flesh". It is wise and I state this again IT IS WISE to take care of as much of these troubles as you can before you are married. Then I would pray that the Lord would bring her to you. Don't go seeking, looking to see if this or that girl has enough check marks on your perfect wife list. Pray and trust, let God answer your prayer. All good gifts come from above and God loves you and her. Let Him bring you that gift and her let him bring you.
The fruit of meeting her should increase your service for God not distract you from it for two are better than one when it is God's will. When you two meet trust God to let you both know it, and you can pray singly and together as to whether you are meant to be more than just brother and sister. Remember God is Love. Don't try to manufacture it on your own. That is counterfeit, emotional, conditional love and that is why most, over 50% of Christian marriages end in divorce within 5 years. Take the time to let God fill you with His love for her and fill her with His love for you. If she is the one, God will do this whether you are together or apart. When you come to the point where you know it is God's will to marry her and she hears the same from the Lord, then you are ready to make that commitment, that life long covenant together.
A lot of people will say "that is crazy' and that 'our society does not work this way'. 'You are saying God is a matchmaker'. To that I say yea and amen. Societies change but the Lord thy God does not. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He made the first match and marriage in the beginning and He still does for those who know Him and seek His will.
"And this is the confidence, the assurance, the privilege of boldness, which we have in Him: we are sure that if we ask anything, make any request, according to His will, in agreement with His own plan, He listens to and hears us. And if, since we positively know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know, with settled and absolute knowledge, that we have, granted us as our present possessions, the requests made of Him." 1st John 5:14-15.

CONCLUSION.
We see from these testimonies and teachings the very serious consequences of sexual immorality, also called whoremongering, in all its forms. This includes lust, pornography, masturbation, adultery, sex outside of marriage, sex with your boyfriend, sex with your girl friend, sex with your fiance', going to topless bars or sex shops, homosexuality, orgies, bestiality or sex with animals, and sexual molestation of children. Unless the sinner repents we see the very serious danger that whoremongers or the sexually immoral are in. Jesus really does mean what He says in Revelation 21:8.
"WHOREMONGERS, SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE".

Further Scriptures Showing That:
The Sexually Immoral Go To Hell
There are three resources from which we all pull doctrinal beliefs:
1) our imagination;
2) what someone told us; or
3) the Word of God (the Bible).
Since God never lies and is never in error, we must all rely on the Word of God over and above what our imagination tells us or what someone else tells us. Even if the Word of God contradicts everything we have ever been taught by our minister or churches we must put God’s Word before everything. As it says in Romans 3:4, "Let God be true, and every man a liar."
As uncomfortable as it is to some, we all need to give heartfelt warnings to those who profess to be Christians about the eternal danger of sexual immorality.
Before getting into this, let me explain a couple of terms which Jesus and the apostle Paul taught about salvation and about who would and would not go to heaven.
The Term WICKED:
The first term we will look at is the term WICKED. To understand what the term WICKED means let us look at 5 scriptures (there are hundreds more but these should suffice):
"Now the men of Sodom were WICKED and were sinning greatly against the LORD." Genesis 13:13
"The WICKED will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous." Psalm 1:5
"You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the WICKED cannot dwell." Psalm 5:4
"Salvation is far from the WICKED" Psalm 119:155
"This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the WICKED from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 13:49-50
As you can see, in the Bible, the term WICKED always refers to those who are enemies of God, those who are separated from God -- that is those who are not saved and who go to Hell if they die without repenting.
The Term INHERIT:
The next term we will look at is the term INHERIT. According to Jesus, salvation or eternal life is INHERITED :
"And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will INHERIT eternal life. Matthew 19:29 (NIV)
In Hebrews 1:14, salvation is also referred to as being INHERITED: "Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will INHERIT salvation?" Hebrews 1:14 (NIV)
Jesus also refers to INHERITING eternal life in John 4:14 and Revelation 21:6-7.
In John 4:14, Jesus refers to eternal life as a "spring of water welling up to eternal life" : "Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:14 (NIV)
In Revelation 21:6-7, Jesus also uses the term "spring of the water of life" to refer to eternal life or salvation:
"6 It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life." 7 "He who overcomes will INHERIT all this, and I will be his God and he will be My son." Rev 21:6-7 (NIV)
That Jesus is referring to salvation or eternal life is also confirmed by the phrase "and he will be My son" in verse 7.
Notice also in verse 7 the word INHERIT, and that eternal life (the spring of the water of life) is what is being INHERITED: "He who overcomes will INHERIT all this." In this page of scripture Jesus is specifically referring to eternal life as what is being INHERITED. This is also consistent with what Jesus stated in Mat 19:29: "And everyone who has left houses or brothers [etc.].. for my sake will.. INHERIT eternal life." - Matthew 19:29
Eternal Life: Who INHERITS It And Who Does Not
Let Us Now Read All Of Revelation 21:5-8 :
5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." 6 He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 He who overcomes will INHERIT all this, and I will be his God and he will be My son.
8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts [witchcraft], the idolaters and all liars -- their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." Rev 21:5-8 (NIV)
In contrast to those who INHERIT eternal life, in verse 8, Jesus mentions those who will not INHERIT eternal life. Notice that THE UNBELIEVING ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES BEING CONDEMNED TO HELL. In addition to the unbelieving there is also, "the cowardly [those who deny Christ], the vile, the murderers, the SEXUALLY IMMORAL, etc... their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur." (I emphasize the grievous sin of sexual immorality because it is such a prevalent sin in our day and age -- even by many who profess to be Christians.)
Jesus makes no distinction as to whether these sinful people were previously saved or not. In fact, He makes it a point to include the UNBELIEVING as only one class of people who are being condemned to Hell.
Notice that when John was addressing believers he stated: "Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him." (1 John 3:15)
Notice the phrase "NO MURDERER HAS ETERNAL LIFE IN HIM." Since according to Jesus in Rev 21:8 the sexually immoral person will meet with the same fate as the murderer then we can also say that, NO SEXUALLY IMMORAL PERSON HAS ETERNAL LIFE IN HIM.
There are not two kinds of murderers -- saved and unsaved. There are not two kinds of witches -- saved and unsaved. There are not two kinds of sexually immoral people -- saved and unsaved. According to Jesus in Rev 21:8, all the cowardly are unsaved, all the unbelieving are unsaved, all the vile are unsaved, all the murderers are unsaved, all the sexually immoral are unsaved, all those who practice magic arts (pharmacia or drug abuse) are unsaved, all the idolaters are unsaved, and all liars (in greek “false ones” – as in false teachers, false prophets, false brethren, etc.) are unsaved. And they will all end up in Hell, unless they genuinely repent in this life and come (or come back) to Jesus.
Notice also that taking illicit drugs to get high (in greek pharmacia) is part of practicing magic arts and is also condemned as worthy of Hell fire.
Similarly, in 1 Cor 6:9-10 Paul states: "Do you not know that the WICKED will not INHERIT the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexuals nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will INHERIT the kingdom of God." 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
The term WICKED has already been explained. The term INHERIT has also. This scripture is another confirmation of what Jesus said in Rev 21:5- 8. As you can see the terms and meanings here are very clear, direct, and sound. If you choose to doubt -- you do so in clear contradiction to the word of God.
Notice that the pages Rev 21:5-8 and 1 Cor 6:9-10 are parallel scriptures. Both are referring to salvation and both use the term INHERIT to refer to those who will or will not make it to the kingdom of God.
I realize that very few preach on these pages of scriptures but God’s word stands forever. God is faithful and His words cannot and will not be altered: "I will not violate my covenant or alter what My lips have uttered." Psalm 89:34
Jesus began the Rev 21:5-8 passage by saying in verse 5: "Write this down, for these words are TRUSTWORTHY and TRUE." Jesus was emphasizing this passage of scripture so that we would all be forewarned of the ETERNAL danger of transgressing into these grievous sins. Jesus does not give idle warnings and He does not exaggerate. He gives us clear and specific words and phrases so that we will know what the truth is. Notice again in Rev 21:8 , "the SEXUALLY IMMORAL .. their place will be in the FIERY LAKE OF BURNING SULFUR."
As hard as it is for some to believe, GOD WILL SEND THE SEXUALLY IMMORAL TO HELL -- even those who once came to Jesus in the past but now went back into the pollutions of the world.
There are many popular, even evangelical ministers, telling people that their sinning -- even gross evil sins such as murder, and adultery, etc, will not send them to Hell. It is the same thing satan told Adam and Eve. " ’You will not surely die,’ the serpent said to the woman." Genesis 3:4
According to Jesus, not only will the UNBELIEVING end up in Hell, the SEXUALLY IMMORAL will also end up in Hell (as will the cowardly, the vile, the murderers, etc.) -- whether or not they were previously saved or not.
According to the Bible the following people are classified as SEXUALLY IMMORAL:
1. Fornicator -- An unmarried person having sex with someone else who is not married. (Gal 5:19, KJV)
2. Adulterer -- A married person having sex with someone other than their lawfully wedded spouse. Also an unmarried person having sex with someone who is married. (Gal 5:19, KJV)
3. Homosexual -- Someone who is having sex with a person of the same gender. (1 Cor 6:10, Jude 1:7)
4. Bestiality -- Someone having sex with an animal. (Lev 18:23)
Those who are living together but are not lawfully married are committing the sin of fornication. Although our present day culture may condone this sin, God does not and will not approve of this sin. This sin will send you to Hell as Jesus tells us in Rev 21:8. As already explained, this is true even if you gave your life to Jesus in the past but are now in sexual immorality.
In Luke 13:3 Jesus says "unless you repent you will likewise perish." If you are living with someone who is not your lawfully wedded spouse or if you have been indulging in sex outside of marriage then you are sexually immoral and God will have to condemn you to Hell if you die in that state. But God is not interested in sending you to Hell. God is calling you to repent from your sin -- even if you gave your life to Jesus in the past.
If this describes you, you must do 2 things:
1. Confess your sin to Jesus and ask Him to forgive you.
2. Repent of your sin by permanently leaving the partner or partners you have been having sex with.
If you don’t truly repent then confession is worthless. You are merely giving lip service and it is an abomination to God. I realize that what I am saying here is very direct and stern but I want there to be no doubt about the decision and the consequence you are facing. I counsel you to believe God and repent -- or face eternal torment in Hell when you die. And you can die on any day. You are free to choose. But you are not free to choose the consequence of your choice. And according to Jesus, the consequence of a sexually immoral life is eternal torment in Hell.
Believe God -- He does not lie.
Regarding Contraceptives
Related to the subject of sexual immorality is the topic of contraceptives. Obviously all human life originates from God - He is our loving Creator. So instead of getting answers from the world - which is controlled by satan - we must get our answers about birth control from our Heavenly Father and not from the world. Here below is a very clear word God gave to His two prophets – Sabrina and Susan.
Prophetic Message given to Sabrina De Muynck and Susan Davis regarding contraceptives. (Used by Permission.)
June 3, 2011.
Dear people,
GOD wants me to write this letter. Below you can see how serious sin is in the eyes of GOD:
Matthew 5:29-30. “And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.”
Matthew 18:8-9. “Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.”
Hebrews 12:4-6. “Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”
GOD is very busy lately in my life concerning sin. HE has revealed already several things to me, so I would be fully ready for HIS bride when HE comes. One of these sins is the following:
I took the contraceptive pill for years. I began to wonder if this was not a sin. GOD answered my question also by an email I received from someone who had the same question. Coincidental timing? I think not. As I began to feel very uncomfortable, I asked Susan to ask GOD, this is God’s answer:
“Daughter write MY Words down -- regarding this matter of contraceptives -- I do not ordain these drugs -- I control life -- the giving and taking of it. If I choose to bring life I bring it or take it -- it is in MY complete control. Satan has burst on the scene with his desire to control even these things. It is a plan of the enemy -- birth control. Tell people to stop using them -- tell them that I control life -- I am angry by man's intervention in what I control -- did I not destroy those who used birth control in former days -- these men chose to have intimacy with their wife but then chose to put MY seeds on the ground -- I destroyed them -- I control life -- these are MY words -- when you destroy MY seeds then you destroy MY plans. This is man putting his plans before MINE and it is evil. I AM has spoken.”
I asked Susan another word from the LORD for me:
“Daughter -- I AM has spoken -- never doubt -- I want MY children to stop this manmade control of the HOLY. MY giving and taking of LIFE is a HOLY Matter. Please discontinue this and let ME control your life -- this is what I mean by total surrender -- people take these things into their own hands because they still want control -- but I control when I am allowed access to your life -- I control these things -- Sister Sabrina -- put away these defenses and allow ME complete access to your life -- if I want to give you new life I will give it, if not it won't happen -- let ME be GOD and you be Sabrina -- don't doubt in your sister here -- she is in MY will -- so heed MY wonderful Words -- I AM has spoken.”
I have thrown my pills in the trash by now, at the request of GOD, as a sign of faith and obedience.
Also, the use of condoms is not biblical, it is a not respectful act to GOD: Genesis 38:9-10: “And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore He slew him also.”
So there are many aspects in our lives where we sin against GOD and thus not being ready as HIS pure and chaste bride without stain, spot or wrinkle. We can bring many reasons for the 'why' we do certain things, but with this we follow the evil system of the world and not GOD'S HOLY WORD. Total surrender is complete and blind trust in GOD and act according to HIS WORD and not according to the worldly standards, how good, pleasant or wise this may seem in our eyes.
GOD is still the same GOD. HE has not changed. See the following Bible verses and the consequences of sin:
ALL TITHES BELONG TO ME, says the LORD GOD! Exodus 13:15: “And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.”
DISOBEDIENCE IN PERSONAL COMMANDMENTS FROM GOD towards us. Here is an example of disobedience during fasting. 1 Kings 13:20-24: “And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back: And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee, But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back. And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.”
I AM LORD OVER LIFE AND DEATH, says the LORD GOD! 1 Chronicles 2:3: “The sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah: which three were born unto him of the daughter of Shua the Canaanitess. And Er, the firstborn of Judah, was evil in the sight of the LORD; and he slew him.”
IDOLATRY AND DIVINATION ARE AN ABOMINATION TO ME, says the LORD GOD! 1 Chronicles 10:13-14: “So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.”
INGRATITUDE IS A SIN TO ME, says the LORD GOD! Psalm 78:30-37: “They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. 32For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God. And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.”
LYING AND DECEPTION I PUNISH WITH DEATH, says the LORD GOD! Acts 5:1-11: “But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.”
A PROUD HEART CANNOT PLEASE ME, says the LORD GOD! Acts 12:21-23: “And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.”
THE WALK IN THE LIGHT: 1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
DIED AND RISEN WITH CHRIST: Romans 6:1-2: “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?”
I want to encourage everyone to seriously pray that GOD may show you every hidden place of your heart, so that everything may come to the light and everyone may be ready for the rapture. Our heart is unreliable and we are blind, our flesh is strong, but weak for GOD, so let us give HIM all chances to get ready as HIS bride in spirit, soul and body.
Here is another WORD from GOD HIMSELF:
“A word to MY children:
Only those who walk and live in complete obedience to MY WORD will be raptured.
Only those who diligently seek and ask ME in everything will be raptured.
Only those who do not twist MY WORD and make and use it to their own gospel, will be raptured.
Those who take MY WORD seriously in everything, will be raptured.
I see many of MY children still sin. They do not take MY WORD for true and therefore not serious. These people think they are ‘good christians’ of themselves. They come to me in worship, go to church and do their good deeds. Deceived they will come out. This is a stench under MY NOSE! I have no delight in sacrifices, but in pure obedience. I was GOD and I have learned pure obedience and walked in it to obey and please MY FATHER in all things. I have humiliated MYSELF for humanity, so I would be raised in Glory and Honor. I see many bring "sacrifices" that are not pleasing to ME. I see many not bring sacrifices that is not pleasing to ME. I desire complete obedience to MY WORD, because it is the only path to a pure and chaste bride. Anything outside that, is carnal and I cannot accept. I come for a pure and chaste bride. Search your hearts and see what is not of ME. Listen to MY prophets. Listen to the Words that I sent in the world today. Listen to ME! Do not be haughty and proud. If you do not want to listen to MY prophets, then listen to MY WORD. Then live according to MY WORD! Read MY WORD and see if you obey ME in everything. Otherwise, I cannot come for you as MY bride. The time is up and is now very close for MY coming.
MY HEART is joyful and MY HEART is burdened, because many of MY children will be left behind. MY WORD is true and the same for everyone, I regard not the person of man. I do not make exceptions. Ask ME for anything and in everything. Do not be proud people who take their own choices and decisions, for that you cannot. I want you to ask ME in everything. I AM GOD. I AM the I AM. I AM have not changed. I AM am the GOD of the old and the GOD of the new. I tolerate no contradiction or disobedience. You have a privilege because you can always call on ME, this is called grace, but know that I see everyone's heart and know what is in your hearts. I judge righteously. It is extremely important to obey ME in everything and immediately. These are MY Words. You better give heed. I am here to receive you. Who will come? Whose tears can I catch? Whose hearts can I convert and circumcise? Who is worthy to climb MY HOLY MOUNTAIN? Who is worthy to receive ME? I AM that I AM! Know that I am GOD and holy.”
Dear people, I want to ask you not to bombard me with emails regarding this matter, go to GOD and ask HIM in everything, HE has all the answers. This is what I do also. I have given my short testimony because GOD has asked me. God bless you all, Sabrina.
Chapter 2: Hell Testimony By Carmelo Brenes
"Rescued From Hell"
Pastor and Evangelist Carmelo Brenes Our Church of God of the Full Gospel has the honor to present the testimony: "Rescued from Hell," with pastor and evangelist Carmelo Brenes.
In 1982, I had an accident in which I died. In the moment that all my existence ended, I felt everything become dark, and I began to walk through a dark tunnel. I saw a being that was taking me and began to hear screams and moans. I understood that my life had been taken from me; I ceased to live on the earth. But the most terrible thing was that as we were going through the tunnel, the fear inside of me was increasing more and more. I knew that, although my body was already dead, I was alive in some place. We walked for a while inside that tunnel. Suddenly, I heard groans and moans that I had never heard before. As we continued walking inside that cold and dark tunnel, I began to see big, gigantic snakes that moved from one place to another and to hear different moans and groans. There was something very peculiar about that place: almost all the people in that place had something in common. They were all thinking about and crying out for water at that moment. We continued going until we arrived at an open place like a plateau with many chambers and divisions that contained different people.
I began to cry out with terror and beg God for mercy. I began to tell Him, “Lord, remember my life! Have mercy!” In those moments, a feeling of terror invaded my soul. I felt like my whole life was passing before my eyes once more. I was walking with the being that took me. As we approached a door, I shouted, “Have mercy on me my Lord; have mercy on me! I beg you to help me! Help me Lord!!”
Suddenly there was a silence, and I heard a voice saying, “Stop!” Because of that voice, all of Hell shook. The being that was taking me by the hand released me, but I did not fall to the ground. Instead, I remained hovering in one place and heard that voice once more that said, “I am not the God of adulterers, I am not the God of fornicators, I am not the God of liars. Why do you call me Lord if I am not a God of those who boast and are proud?” I felt for a moment that my whole being was going to be destroyed, but as the moments passed the being’s voice became softer and told me, “Come and I will show you the things going on in this place that are waiting for all who haven’t been willing to follow my way and have walked after the imaginations of their own hearts.” I began to walk in that place, while listening to all those moans that crushed my very soul. Suddenly, we stopped at the head of a cell where a woman was sitting in a rocking chair. At first, it seemed like nothing was happening to her, but suddenly her body transformed because she was a witch. She screamed with such groans and moans, and asked for help because her whole being was burning in flames. She began to scream horrifying screams, begging for someone to please help her.
The Lord spoke to me and said, “The wages of sin is death, and those who arrive in this place will never get out again.” He also showed me places down in the earth, like openings in the earth, that had some kind of boiling oil where there were also beings that were burning in flames--“ human beings, that were in that place of suffering. When they tried to go out, a demon came at once to put them inside that place again.
The Lord showed me that because of the disobedience of men, many people that had once been a part of Christian and Evangelic churches, found themselves in that place crying out and begging for mercy over their lives, which could not be found anymore because mercy can only be found when we are still alive on this earth. Once a man is dead, mercy can not be reached anymore, as the Lord says in His word, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
We continued walking and arrived at a very special place where there were people that had once listened to the word of God, but never wanted to repent. I noticed a woman with two children who were pleading with their mother and asked her: “Why? Why didn’t you take us to Sunday school? Why didn’t you allow us to go to church?” And they cursed her because they once wanted to go to church to hear the word of God, but their mother never allowed them to go to church to hear the gospel. He also took me by a place where there were pastors, evangelists, and missionaries and many believers who were there for different causes. I saw a pastor that especially caught my attention. This man had never believed in the power of the Holy Spirit, speaking in other tongues, or the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He also never believed in the healings of the Lord. Now however, he was begging for mercy, and for one more chance to go out and tell the world that speaking in tongues is real, that that the Holy Ghost is real, and that there is real freedom in the gospel of the Lord. But it was too late for him; he could not leave that place because his time to repent of his evil was while he was on earth.
Even when he was a member of the Christian evangelical church and a pastor, however, he had not reached mercy. There was also a missionary there because he asked for money to open a mission in Africa, but he only used half of the money. The rest of the money he took it for himself, and now he begs for mercy in that place and for another chance to deliver back the money that was not his. He remembers how he lied to take that money that was not his and begs for mercy and forgiveness. But when he sees that mercy can not be granted to him, he curses Jesus Christ.
I want to tell you, it is not the same at all, when you live life here as when you are in that place of torment. In Hell, you hear the shouts and groans of terror and pain in the throat of those that were once inside the church praising the name of Jesus. Now in that place they cry out and beg for mercy for their sins, but once on this earth they had that chance. Now, they are just waiting for the eternal and Last Judgment. There were also pastors there because they robbed tithes and offerings from their churches. Now, they want just one more chance that can not be granted any more, “one more chance that can only be found on this earth. They spend day and night crying out without ceasing to undo all their bad works. The opportunity to repent is while you are alive on earth because after this life there are no more chances. Those who die without Jesus Christ go to Hell, and those who die with Jesus Christ receive eternal life in heaven with Him.
Many people believe that dying is just stopping this existence and that their bodies will go into the earth. At death, real life begins and the real personality of the believer or the sinner shows up and begins to live; either in the glory of God or in condemnation and eternal shame. That choice you make it today and now; right at this moment is when you can think over and meditate on where you want to spend your eternity. Do you want to spend eternity in Hell or in the glory of God? At this very hour you can still decide.
We continued walking and arrived at a horrifying place where there were demons of all types, shapes and forms. There were some that had just one arm, one eye and one leg, and the end of the leg was like a hoof of a foal. Their faces were like half of a human face, but the rest of the other half was empty. I asked the Lord, “Lord and this? What it is this?” And He said, “These are demons of destruction, in the homes of all those who are lost.
This is the demon that will destroy and destroy without rest, day after day.” The torment in that place is terrible, “so terrible that the souls can not stop and remember all the things that they did while on earth.
Is like it is written in Luke 16 from verses 19 on (19”There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hell where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, “Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.” 25 But Abraham replied, “Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.” 27 He answered, “Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.” 29 Abraham replied, “They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.” 30 “No, father Abraham,” he said, “but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.” 31 He said to him, “If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.”
The rich man died, and in Hades he lifted his eyes while in torment and saw Abraham and Lazarus at his side. There he could remember that he had a father and five brothers. He could think about them in that moment because there, your soul is alive, your soul can feel the pain. You can remember all the things you did in your life good or bad; you can remember the way you lived within or out of the church; you can remember all your relatives, your mother, your brothers, all your friends, and that is part of the torment.
That man in the Bible could remember that he had five brothers, and also beg for mercy saying, “Father Abraham send someone to tell them and testify to them, so they do not come to this place of torment.” But Abraham told him, “They have had Moses and the prophets let them hear them.” In the same way, today you have prophets of God that preach the gospel of the Lord on this earth. You have heard the Word of God, and now is the time to repent. Nobody from the dead will come to save you because He who can save your soul, Jesus of Nazareth, has already resurrected from the dead, and is now sitting at the right hand of the Father ready to save you.
Nobody else can save you. It is written in the book of Acts 4:12 “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Just in Jesus alone. When I remember all that pain, I still feel all the pain and terror in my soul in remembering that there are young children in that place between the ages of 12 and 14 years old. They also regret many things they did here on earth.
There are many that believe that their children will not be lost or go to Hell because they are so young. But let me tell you, if your children are not in the ways of the Lord, and can already distinguish between good and evil they will also arrive to that place of torment because it is written in Revelation 20:12 “And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.”
All persons that can comprehend and can make the distinction between good and evil will have to stand before the Lord; nothing is hidden from the eyes of the Lord.
We continued walking until we came to a place where it was some sort of football stadium. The demons’ laughing stock were human beings. Their mockery was the very image of the living God; the joy of the demons was to torment the living image of God. They pulled out pieces of their bodies and hid them from them and made them look for them. That made them feel great pleasure because that caused great pain and torment, which is what satan and his demons like the most. It is like what is written in John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” It is not like when you are here sitting in a chair and you can ask for water and drink it. In that place, people ask for water and mercy; in that place people regret even the day they were born. In that place, people are sorry that they did not meet Jesus.
Also, many that met Jesus regret that they walked away from Him. But it is already late. I want to tell you that if you have walked away from the ways of the Lord, if you have walked apart from Him, today is the time to come back! Do not be ashamed of what your friends may say; do not think of what your father, your girlfriend or your brothers may say. Think of what the Lord says in His word: those who are ashamed of Him on this earth, He will also be ashamed of in the heavens (Luke 9:26 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.)
It is time for you to run to the presence of God; it is time for you to look for the salvation. Do not look for a church, look towards Jesus Christ. Do not look for a church that makes you feel good; look for a church where the Spirit of the Lord moves and repent of your sins! It is time for repentance; now is the time to cry out to the Lord and tell Him: “Lord I recognize that I am not saved; Lord I recognize that I still can not attain salvation on my own.” If this is your situation when you are reading this testimony, just run to Jesus Christ! Your life is in danger, the Word of God says that He will come as a thief in the night. (1 Thessalonians 5:2 For you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.) Are you ready to be saved or are you still thinking about it?
We continued observing what these demons were doing to those in torment. They took out an eye and hid it. We saw human beings dragging themselves in pain to look for it. For the demons, it was a great joy to see that person. Other demons took away part of a leg to watch him jump and hobble, looking for the part of the body that was missing; to another they took out an arm just to laugh about the pain the person felt. I want to tell you that those who have met the Lord Jesus and once walked in His ways, but die in their sin receive double punishment! As the Word of God says, (Mark 12:40 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. Such men will be punished most severely. James 4:17 Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.) Those who know how to do good, but do evil shall receive double condemnation. Those who never knew the Lord also have torment and pain, but it is more tolerable than for those who knew Jesus and slid back.
I just want to tell you, that when we were in that place, I felt such a terror in my soul, although I know that here men do not think in that way. I was in as deep of a panic as I feel right now. I felt terror for my life; I felt such a terror for all the torments that I was looking at; I felt such a pain and compassion for all the souls that were crying and begging for mercy; I felt all my being become weaker, but the Lord was there giving me strength and told me: “I will show you how many things are still waiting for all men.”
We passed that place, and arrived at a different cell that was burning in the edges. There were souls crying and suffering and I began to see what was going on with them. Those who were in the torment with flames that looked like gases were the ones that had once stood up in the altar of God. They had led church meetings and preached the word of God. They were the ones that had once cast out demons and spoke in tongues, but now were in torment because one day they made the decision to walk away from the holy way of God. We stood there watching all those in pain burning in the flames. Even when all we could see were almost just bones of a dark gray color, they could still feel the pain. They also could talk, they could beg for mercy when they felt that the Lord was walking by them in that moment. They shouted with loud screams: “Jesus please have mercy on us!” But the time for mercy is today.
We continued walking until we arrived at a place and the Lord told me: “Look at this wide street.” I stood looking at the street and saw a multitude of believers with their Bibles in their hands. Their hands were raised up; some of them were praying some of them were shouting. The road of the Lord continued to the right, but they continued walking straight to Hell, and I asked the Lord why they were going that way. He told me: “They have a double life; they are living two lives: one in My house of prayer, and another in their own houses.” And I said to the Lord: “But Lord, these people come from praising your Name!” And He said: “Yes, and even when they cry, shout , and say nice things about Me or to Me, their hearts are full of adultery, full of evil, full of lies, full of deception, full of hate, full of roots of bitterness, full of bad thoughts.” Then, I could understand what is written in the Scripture in Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
There are times that we think we are doing things okay, that we are walking right before the eyes of the Lord. The truth is, however, that maybe there is a brother or sister that we may not like, and perhaps we do not go to church because of that brother. When the pastor asks in the church, “How many of you love the Lord?” They say “Amen!,” but the Bible says that those who do not love their brothers and hate their brothers are like murders, and no murders, can come in the kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 5:22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, “Raca,” is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, “You fool!” will be in danger of the fire of Hell.)
This is one of the biggest reasons inside the church of the Lord why many do not like each other but rather hate each other and are still waiting for the coming of the Lord. But the Bible says that the wages of sin is death. (Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord)
Many persons in that day will have regrets. Some of them say: “Oh no, today I won’t go to church because brother so and so will preach and I do not like him.” But in that place in Hell you will cry out for that man so he can come and preach the Word of God to you. There, you will beg for an opportunity for that one you have hated on this earth, so you can hear him once more. You will beg in that place to hear at least once more that word again. In that place, you will be sorry that you hated your brother; in that place you will be sorry that you did not follow the word of God that tells you, “You shall love your neighbor as your self” (Leviticus 19:17-18 Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt. Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD).
In that place you will be so sorry of all the times that you lost in the church of the Lord, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth as the Word of God says. (Matthew 13:42 They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.) You know how sad it would be to live an evangelical Christian life in this earth, but not go to heaven when you die, and for your soul not to receive salvation? I think that today you have to meditate, and think over whether you are doing the will of God. If Christ comes today would you go with Him? I want to tell you with this call; Meditate on this today!
Do I want to enter into the heavens? Does the Christian life that I am living please God? Today, it is still time to recognize your faults and to turn your heart to the Lord. If you are reading this today, today is the day to turn towards the Lord! Today is the day when you can accept Jesus as your personal savior and escape from the dungeons of Hell. You know some people think, “Well, it doesn’t matter where I am going, it doesn’t matter what will happen after this. I will enjoy this life.” But I can tell you, to enjoy this life is to walk hand in hand with Jesus Christ; to enjoy this life is spend the time in the house of the Lord. You do not enjoy this life in the bar, with liquor, or with women. You enjoy it in the house of the Lord. Unlike those who come to the house of the Lord just for some nice moments, we have to look for the Lord in spirit and in truth, asking Him for mercy for those who are still walking on roads of death and sin.
We continued walking inside that place, and surprisingly people who believed that they were truly holy while on earth, were begging for mercy and for another chance. They were there saying: “Lord please have mercy on me!” I was begging the Lord right along with them. I was begging the Lord to have mercy on me! In those moments my soul ached, I felt an immense pain, for those souls too. I felt that there were many reasons to continue living. I felt that man needed an opportunity with Jesus. I felt so much pain when I began to see how people drag themselves in that place, begging for mercy and asking for forgiveness. We arrived at a place where a woman was acting like she was reading the Word of God, and preaching about John 3:16. She said: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” I asked the Lord, “Why is this woman here if she can remember what she preached about and she gave the gospel message? Why is she in this place?” He answered and said, “Because she could never forgive her husband; she never managed to forgive her husband.”
(Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.)
I asked: “Lord is it so easy is to lose salvation?” That woman had been shepherding an evangelical church for 35 years. In that moment, her life was passing before her eyes, and she saw that she could never forgive her husband. Now she is begging for one more chance to forgive her husband. But I want to tell you, if you have problems with your husband or your wife, forgiveness is for today! Today is when you have to call him or her and say: “Forgive me or I forgive you for what you have done to me. Come to an agreement! (Matthew 5:25 Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison).
If Jesus calls you to His presence today, where would you go? The Word of God says: Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. If you are one of those who cries in the presence of the Lord, who cries in the presence of the Holy Ghost, you are still under the grace and mercy of the Lord. But if you feel that you can not cry any more in the presence of the Lord, if you feel that you can not pray anymore, if you have left behind your prayer life, let me tell you that you are under great danger. You know, forgiveness is something special, and that woman never forgave. After 35 years, she had been shepherding a church and just in one second of her life she lost everything! Meditate today! React today!
How are you living your life? How do you want to spend eternity? I have a biological brother that says: “The day that I die, I will go to Hell and let the demons poke me with the coals, and I will help the demons to poke the coals in the fire.” But let me tell you that the judgment of the Lord has come upon him. While I am recording this message he is lying down with AIDS in his body, and is now begging God for a chance. He turned his heart to the Lord and converted because he does not think the same way anymore. Now he does not want to go that place of torment.
Now, he doesn’t find it easy to open his mouth and say that he will let the demons poke him with the coals. It is not the same to say I want to go there and be tormented, than to really be in that place of torment. Because of the mercy of God, my brother has accepted Jesus as the savior of his life. But I want to tell you something and listen to me carefully. My brother had the chance because that illness was progressing in his life. But how or when are you going to die? Will you have another opportunity besides this moment to ask the Lord to forgive you or will you die instantly without time to ask the Lord for forgiveness? Please meditate in this moment! How long your life will last?
We continued walking and arrived at a summit, where there were a group of men that called themselves “Evangelical Christians.” In the neighborhood where they lived, there was a man who had been an alcoholic, but had converted to Jesus Christ, and one day his wife got severely ill. He began to knock door by door, until he arrived at those “brothers” and said to one of them, “My wife is very sick. I need you to lend me some money to take her to the hospital.” And that man told him, “That is what you say! No! We do not have money here!” And he went to the house of the other and also told him, “I do not have money! I need money!” And so on he went from door to door of those brothers asking for money for transportation to take his wife to the hospital. But none of them gave him anything, and the man’s wife died.
Then, they called themselves “brothers” and they said: “Did you see brother? That lesson we taught that alcoholic? He wanted the money to go to the bars and drink liquor, but he wouldn’t get me with that! I know what he really wanted was to drink alcohol, but I didn’t give him a single penny! Then the other “brother” also started to tell the story of how the man came to him and so on until all of them told the story. But the saddest part is when one of them begins to burn in fire and flames and begins to give big and horrifying shouts of pain, and he begins to regret and moan all the bad things that he did on the earth, and he continually says, “Lord! Why couldn’t my unrepentant heart see the evil I was doing in my life?” But the Bible says clearly that the sons of God are those who are guided by the Spirit of God (Romans 8:14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.) When this happened, all the rest of them began to burn in fire and flames, and they began to cry and regret and remember that day in which that man came and knocked their doors, they began to remember that moment when this man came and asked them a favor.
I don’t know if one day you will arrive at Hell and remember that you once read this testimony or that one day you were told that you would give account to the Lord for your life. Maybe you were told not to pay evil for evil, and you listened to the gospel of Jesus, and did not want to repent! That day would be the saddest day of your life! Those bodies were burning in flames, but were tied with a rope. The bodies were a dark gray color. They couldn’t do anything but regret, moan and shout in pain and terror because the pain was unbearable. Their flesh almost melted and fell from their bodies; their skin fell from the bodies until they were just darkish-grey colored bones. I want to tell you that this pain and torment is permanent; there is a torment that has no end, it never ends. All these people remember how much evil they had in their hearts. Listen to this! This is not a movie! This is not an invention or a fairy tale. This is something that really happened! This is something that happened in my life!
Please listen to me carefully. I was an Evangelical Christian. I converted to Jesus; I prayed for the sick and God healed them, I prayed for the lame and God raised them up. I cast out demons and spoke in new tongues, but in my life had entered a spirit of pride that made me see my pastor spiritually inferior to me. In some occasions, people went to church for my pastor to pray for healing. When nothing happened, they came the next day for me to pray for them. I came to them and just gave the word, and God honored the words that I said. But I began to think that it was me, that I was the one that was causing the work of God. In my pride, I thought that I was someone. In my own understanding, I was a super-gifted man or someone special. I could not understand that it was the mercy of God that was in my life, until I arrived at the place and God told me, “I am not the God of people with pride in their hearts.” Then, I could understand that many of us stand in an altar full of pride and vainglory. Many, who the Lord allows to sing praises to Him with beautiful voices, begin to be full of pride.
How many people who preach the word of God, and are used by Him begin to think that they are overly important? How many of those that God has given the gift of deliverance get full of pride, and begin to think that they are someone important? I want to tell you that God is looking at every single step that you give, every single move that you make. God is listening to you and knows your heart. I want to tell those of you who are reading this testimony, if you have vainglory, pride, or arrogance in your heart, if you see your brother or pastor with disdain, please repent of your sins in this hour! It is much better to be humiliated before the men, than be humiliated in the presence of the Lord.
You know I wish that one day for a moment, just for a moment, you that read this testimony could see this place. I wish, that for a moment, you could hear those moans, groans, and cries that were so horrifying, that fill the soul with terror. Those cries that can reach the deepest parts of anyone’s heart. Those shouts that cry, “Lord! Have mercy on me! Lord! Take me out of this place! Lord! Stretch out your hand and take me out of this place of torment!” That is the moment in the life of a person when they begin to remember everything. If you knew how sad it is to be in that place forever! Do you realize how much pain will be in your life in that moment or how sad it will be for you to arrive to that place?
We continued walking, and arrived at a place, a kind of foyer we could call it. A being came and shouted. When he shouted, all the demons presented themselves before him. Two very beautiful women were presented also. They had the task on earth of destroying ministries and to rise against pastors and ministries. In some occasions you may see that a young, very attractive woman tries to get close to a minister of God to make him fall into sin. That is the goal. The devil has entrusted those demons. That is the goal!
You who serve in the altar of God, who take part in church meetings, who minister to God in praises and worship, singing to the Lord. You guitar players, piano players, and drummers understand my words. Satan wants to destroy your life. If he has to use your father, your mother, your brother, your pastor, your brother in the congregation he will use them. All those who do not have a repentant heart before the Lord or walk close to Him, can be an instrument in the hands of the devil at any moment. These women go out over the whole earth, but they do not go to the bars or to the canteens. They go exactly and directly to the churches. In the same way there are demons playing men, dressed like men, that go directly to the churches to confuse the young ladies and even to the married women. By doing this, they destroy many lives, but they are sent by satan with a spirit of demons to destroy the work of the Lord.
In that place there is also a man that blasphemed against the Spirit of the Lord; that man is standing there asking for forgiveness and for mercy. I want to tell you that every moment, worms of fire come out of his mouth, eyes and ears. He tries to take them out with his hands, but the more he takes them out the more come out. More and more worms of fire run around his body. Like it is written in Mark 9:44, “If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than to go into Hell with two hands, where the fire never goes out.” This man shouted in pain and big screeches, but he just could not leave that place or destroy the worms that were attacking his body. He could not take them off his body because the more he tried the more they multiplied. He spent all his time in the same torment and pain.
There was even a moment when the worms began to eat his bones. You could see that the pain he felt was just unbearable. Because of the intensity of his shouts, I felt such a terror, terror of seeing all those punishments that take place in there. In that moment he remembered all his family. There you can remember how many family members you have, those who are walking with the Lord and those who aren’t. I want to tell you today, you have to take the promise of God in Acts 16:31 that says, They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” You know, if you love your family begin to preach the Word of God to them, so they may escape from Hell. Do you know how terrible it is when it says in the Bible, Matthew 10:28 “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in Hell.”
There are times when we try to hide from the pastor; there are times when we hide from the deacon of the congregation. Sometimes, we hide from the elders of the church, but nobody can hide from the presence of the Lord. Always remember that wherever you are, in the high, in the deep, no matter where, you will be always before the presence of the Lord. (Psalms 139:7-10 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.)
You know there is a reason why there are so many Christians in that place. It may sound crazy, but it is because of the lies. Some arrive at the church and when they are asked why they didn’t come the other day, they say: It’s just that I had so many things to do! So, I just could not come. But that was not true. They simply did not want to go, but they lied. And you know what? That is exactly what Annanias and Sapphira did. In the Book of Acts 5:3-10 it states, Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God.” When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. Then the young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?” “Yes,” she said, “that is the price.” Peter said to her, “How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
At that same moment, that woman died because of the lie. There are many Evangelical Christians that are in that place because they believed that they were simply lying to the pastor, but know that when you lie, you are not lying to men, you are lying to God. The lies are there before the Lord. The Word of God says that no drunks, no adulterers, no fornicators, no liars shall inherit the kingdom of God. The point of this testimony is that I want you to realize that I had an Evangelical Christian life, very used by God, but there was pride in my heart. And I want to make a special call for repentance.
Repentance is a call to make you recognize your faults, a call in case you are living an Evangelical Christian life, but are not clean before the eyes of the Lord. Today, you can renew your heart and mind. If you are reading this, but have not accepted Jesus in your heart, and want to accept Him as your savior, you can pray this prayer of faith: “Lord Jesus, in this hour I am before Your presence to ask your forgiveness for my sins and faults. Today I am sorry Lord for all evil I have done in my life, and I am asking you to enter inside my heart. Today, I accept you as the only one and sufficient savior of my life.” If you are lukewarm and living a double life in the church and your home, bow your head right where you are before the presence of the Lord, and tell Him: “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me. Today, I come before you to ask you for Your forgiveness, to reconcile with You. Write my name in the Book of the Life and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. AMEN.

I repeat the passage about multitudes of believers that got sent to Hell because of lust and hearts of adultery. This is relevant to the subject of this book. But notice that other sins also is sending many “believers” into Hell:
We continued walking until we arrived at a place and the Lord told me: “Look at this wide street.” I stood looking at the street and saw a multitude of believers with their Bibles in their hands. Their hands were raised up; some of them were praying some of them were shouting. The road of the Lord continued to the right, but they continued walking straight to Hell, and I asked the Lord why they were going that way. He told me: “They have a double life; they are living two lives: one in My house of prayer, and another in their own houses.” And I said to the Lord: “But Lord, these people come from praising your Name!” And He said: “Yes, and even when they cry, shout , and say nice things about Me or to Me, their hearts are full of adultery, full of evil, full of lies, full of deception, full of hate, full of roots of bitterness, full of bad thoughts.” Then, I could understand what is written in the Scripture in Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Chapter 3: Hell Testimony By Michael Thomas Sambo
Divine Revelation Of God’s Holiness And Judgment
An account of three supernatural visits to heaven and hell
Preface
God's heartbeat is the salvation of the souls of men from sin and their establishment in His holiness. He is a Master planner and Strategist. He has mapped out ways by which the souls of men and women can be drawn to Him. In this generation of ours we see God employing a special way to convince men of His existence, His love for humanity and the reality of the two ends of eternity: heaven and hell. He takes some chosen people to heaven and to hell to see eternal realities and brings them back to life so they may reveal what they have seen and heard to their fellow men.
God has a purpose for giving these spiritual experiences to men. When apostle John was given divine revelations, the Lord gave him the following instruction:
Revelation 1:11 "Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
The reader might have been conversant with the revelations in 4 HOUR INTERVIEWS IN HELL by Yemi Bankole and the revelations God gave to Mary K. Baxter in A DIVINE REVELATION OF HEAVEN and A DIVINE REVELATION OF HELL. You are about to read a similar revelation God gave to His humble servant, Michael Thomas Sambo.
The Sacrifice of Christ: The Corner Stone of Human Salvation
John 3:16. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Paramount in human salvation is the redemptive death of Christ. There is no salvation outside it.
Acts 4:12. "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Through present day divine revelations God is opening the eyes of many to see the glory of Jesus Christ so that they may know and believe in Him for their salvation
John 17:3. "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
Here is a divine revelation that will give you a clear understanding of the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Read it, you will know the mind of Christ and be set aflame with His holiness and passion for the souls of men.
The Scriptures Testify of Jesus: God has given us the Holy Scriptures, His written word. The scriptures reveal God and His holiness to us. The scriptures teach us all truth and make us righteous, holy and victorious in life. However the scriptures do not stand-alone; they refer to Jesus Christ and centre on Him, hence, JESUS is the message of the scriptures.
John 5:39. "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me."
We must believe, practice and preach the inspired Scriptures. This is the true worship of God.
2 Timothy 3:16-17. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Psalm 19:7,9. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
God's word does not change with time.
Psalm 119:89. "For ever O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven."
The Revelations given in this book exalt Jesus and are scriptural. By them the scripture comes alive and is a living truth to many in our day. Read the scriptural references given in this book prayerfully.
The Holy Spirit Glorifies Jesus
The Holy Spirit gives revelations to men concerning the things of God. Through the revelations of the Holy Spirit we gain insight into the things of God and understand them more clearly. He gives visions and divine experiences to His chosen ones. The purpose of these is to lead men to repentance and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ, and establish them in God's righteousness and holiness. Jesus said,
13 Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall notspeak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall he speak: and He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify Me; for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you." (John 16:13-14)
All true revelations of the Holy Spirit must glorify JESUS and must not contradict the written word of God. Hence all revelations must be proved by the Scripture to see whether they be of God or not. When a revelation has been scripturally verified and proven to be of God, the message should be received and acted upon as the word of God to us.
1 Thessalonians 5:21. "Despise not prophesying. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."
The revelations given here are scriptural and bring men every-where to conviction and repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.
These revelations achieve God's purposes as stated in Ephesians 4:12-16. "For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."
(i) they perfect our knowledge of God's word, works and ways in certain areas and thus promote faith in God,
commitment to righteousness, holiness and service.
(ii) they serve as tools for ministry among sinners and saints in the world.
(iii) they edify the body of Christ.
(iv) they reveal clearly the truth taught in Scripture. The scriptural truth clearly revealed makes erroneous
beliefs of some in the body of Christ to be manifest for correction. Hence scriptural revelations serve for the
unity of the faith.
(v) they promote the true knowledge of the person of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
(vi) they help to mature believers.
(vii) they bring the believers to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.
(viii) they preserve the believers from the corrupting influence of false doctrines and false teachers that are so
rampant in our day.
(ix) they promote scriptural truth, love, unity and spiritual growth of the body of Christ.
Unity of the Spirit, the Word, and the Blood
1 John 5:8. "There are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water (word), and the blood: and these three agree in one."
Hence the redemptive sacrifice of Christ, the written word of God and the revelations of the Holy Spirit work together for human salvation, establishment in holiness and entry into heaven. Have the above nine facts in mind as you read this:
Personal Account of DIVINE VISITATIONS AND REVELATIONS IN OUR TIME.
"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been His counselor? Or who hath first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to Whom be glory for ever. Amen." (Romans 11: 33-36)
Introduction
Brother Michael Thomas Sambo hails from Bika-Lupwe, Takum Local Government, Taraba State, Nigeria. He is a child of God, humble and zealous. He gave his life to Christ at the age of 13 and has since been walking consistently with Him. He received these divine visitations and revelations while undergoing his course on veterinary medicine in University of Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria. In 2003 when he was given these revelations he was 23 years old. God in His mercy chose to use him to convey this life-changing message to men.
Ch 1 - My First Transit to Heaven
(Romans 9:1, 1 Corinthians 1:3, Revelation 1:3)
Retreat Preparation and Expectation
The visit of the Lord Jesus Christ to me was during the Deeper Life National Easter Retreat 2003, held in Takum Region, Taraba State. The Retreat had the caption: EXPERIENCING THE HOLY SPIRIT. When we saw this caption, some brethren and I decided to seek the face of the Lord so that something definite would happen during the Retreat. We embarked on prayer and fasting and night vigils. At this time I was in the neighbouring Wukari Region, thinking to attend the Easter Retreat there. But the Region Overseer of Takum Region visited Wukari and asked me to come over to Takum to attend the Easter Retreat there in order to assist the Region youth coordinator in the youth camp. I obeyed him and went to Takum for the Retreat. There in Takum we still gave ourselves to prayer. Our expectation was high. We were expecting the visitation of the Holy Spirit. The Retreat began on Wednesday 23rd and ended on Sunday 27th April, 2003.
The Inner Voice of the Lord
There was rainfall the first night of the Retreat. The tempo in the camp was low. The revival we expected was not seen, even to the second day. I called the attention of the youth coordinator on the third day, being Friday, and expressed my feelings to him. I said, "This is now the third day of the Retreat and we seem not to have seen any special move of God." He assured me that from that Friday night we would see the special move of God. We both comforted ourselves. That Friday night after retiring from the camp I went to the hostel to rest. I decided to do my quiet time that night against the following morning because I feared I might become so busy that I might not find ample time for it. Besides I did not want to rush it the following morning. I read Isaiah 59. When I came to verse 20 where it says: "And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord."
The Lord spoke to me through a still small voice in my heart saying,
"I will be visiting your camp tomorrow."
The impression I received was so deep. I though that it was just a thought that dashed at my heart. I lay down and slept after my quiet time. I woke up as early as between 4.00 to 5.00 a.m. the following morning to prepare. I still had time to pray and to seek the face of the Lord. I got the impression of Christ's visit to our camp that day so fresh and deeper than that of the previous night. He told me once again through the inner voice that He would be visiting our Retreat Camp. I worshipped the Lord. Then I took my bath and went to the tent of meeting.
The Appearance of Jesus and Two Angels to me
When I arrived at the youth tent of meeting, I called the attention of the prayer warriors and told them that the Lord had told me He would be visiting "Zion and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob." I assured them that since the Lord had promised to visit our camp today, the revival we were expecting had come. We did not pray again. We went into singing and praising God. We sang this chorus: "He is alive. Amen." We took about an hour singing this song and worshipping the Lord. After that we entered into the tent of meeting.
The programme for that day went on. I was highly expecting a revival. The youth Bible study held in groups. After the Bible study the youths came together for the summary, which was being done by a brother. I sat with the youth coordinator at the veranda of the auditorium. We were discussing. We were preparing for the question and answer session that would follow.
The youth coordinator asked me to suggest the names of some brethren who would handle the question and answer session. I suggested the names of some three brethren. He asked me to include my name to make up the fourth person. I objected to this. He insisted and I yet objected to it and gave the reason: "It is necessary to give other people the chance to develop. As a student I am not always here. If others have the opportunity to develop there will be continuity in the work."
My jotter, biro and Bible were in my hand while this discussion was going on. Suddenly my eyes opened! I saw three personalities all dressed in white. They were supernatural personalities, looking bright and brilliant. The glory and splendour of God overshadowed them. The Person in the middle was distinct from the other two. The glory, splendour and brightness that surrounded Him were so much.
I tried to look into His face but was unable by reason of the brightness. The brightness of His face was as that of the sun at midday. I was afraid in my heart and wondered what I should do. I heard a still small voice saying, "Remember, the Lord told you He was visiting your camp. This is He coming, be calm." I summoned courage and sat still. The three personalities came to me. The one in the middle held my right hand and said,
"I am Jesus Christ. I am He that was dead; but I am alive forever more. Brother Michael My son, I have come to take you home to show you the glory of my Kingdom in response to your prayer. Come over."
I dropped my Bible, jotter, biro and the paper in my hand and stood up. As we were going I saw one of my friends, one of the prayer warriors, standing by. I beckoned at him with the hand and he followed me. He did not know he was following these three personalities and me. We entered the youth prayer warriors' room. There I knelt down. The Lord repeated His statement,
"I am Jesus Christ. I am He that was dead; but I am alive forever more. I am taking you home to show you the glory of My kingdom, in response to your prayer. You may come back or may not come back. In case you do not come back, tell this your friend to tell the youth coordinator to continue to do what he is doing and to stand fast on holiness and righteousness: because that is the only thing that can take a person to heaven. Let him keep on operating according to the standard he has been operating on."
I told my friend, "I am going home. But this is what the Lord told me to tell the youth coordinator." I gave him the message to the youth coordinator. I said, "My friend, I am going home. Take good care of your Christian life. Bye, till we meet again." I was not sick. I was very healthy. Since he did not understand what was going on, he asked why I was speaking like that: "You are too young to speak of going home," he scolded. At this juncture, I did not understand what happened next.
The Journey to Heaven
I understood later by eyewitnesses that I fell down and died. But what I saw was that my spirit came out of my body. I put on a glorious body, shining brightly like theirs. I was also dressed in white. We took off to heaven. As we were going up through the sky, I saw one brightly beautiful place ahead of us. I tapped the Lord Jesus Christ to call his attention. I asked, "My Lord, which is that very beautiful place I am seeing ahead of us?" He said,
"My son, that is the place I have prepared for them that love Me from the time I departed from the earth. Don't worry, My son, we will soon arrive there."
Suddenly, we arrived at the beautiful gate. The gate was exceedingly beautiful and magnificent. It was very high. It was built with precious stones of no earthly comparison, glittering and shining. I cannot here describe the splendour of that gate because of the unavailable descriptive words in human language.
All I can say about the beauty of heaven will give you just a glimpse, a title of it. The words to use to describe the beauty of heaven are not yet available to man. When we arrived at the gate I saw two mighty angels with books in their front. Immediately we arrived at the gate these angels left what they were doing and swiftly bowed down simultaneously and worshipped the Lord Jesus Christ.
These two angels called my name and said, "Brother Michael, you are welcome." They returned back to their work. I saw these angels writing things and cleaning some writings. The Lord told me that they were writing down the names of new converts and cleaning the names of backsliders from the book of life.
Exodus 32:33. "And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book."
Revelation 3:5. "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels."
The Kingly Welcome of Jesus Into the Heavenly City
At the beautiful gate with Jesus I was hearing goodly music of indescribable inspiration. The melody was excellently perfect. When we walked into the heavenly city with Jesus Christ, this music momentarily ceased. This I understood was in honour of the King of the kingdom who had just come in, the Lord Jesus Christ. I saw the beauty of heaven with my eyes. Heaven is a place of indescribable beauty. It is the perfection of beauty. Heaven is the city of the living God. It is glorious and majestic.
There are no tears or weeping in heaven. Heaven does not know sorrow. It is filled with eternal life. When I entered into heaven I had automatic joy flooding within my soul. My heart forgot everything in the world from where I was coming. I saw that there was an automatic forgetfulness of the past. I could not remember that I was from the Retreat Camp. I was not able to remember anything about the world by reason of the overwhelming joy of heaven.
I saw also the holiness of heaven. Heaven is too holy to accommodate sinners. Nothing impure and that is defiled can enter into heaven.
Revelation 21:27. "And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."
The books I saw with the angels at the gate were mightier than any books on earth. At the gate with Jesus, before entering in, we stood quiet. A big company of angels came and bowed down and worshipped the Lord Jesus Christ in honour of the arrival of the King of the kingdom. The angels then ushered us into heaven. When we entered through the pearly gate into heaven, all activities in heaven momentarily ceased. Heaven became so quiet.
The Throne of God
All of a sudden Jesus Christ disappeared; I did not see Him again. However I did not ask the angels about it. We were walking on the street of gold. I was seeing my own image on the floor. Every thing in heaven is bright, shining and beautiful. The angels are swift and fast in action. They are strong supernatural beings endued with divine strength. Their eyes were bright and shining.
O, what joy it was to know that heaven was mine! What a beautiful city! While walking on the street of gold along with the angels, in a moment of time, the angels led me to where Jesus was sitting. He was sitting on the throne. No tongue can describe how the throne looked like. The floor of it was built with precious stones. The throne was high and lifted up. The ray of light coming out of the throne was brighter than the sun shining in its full brightness. When I arrived at the throne I bowed down along with the two angels and worshipped the Lord Jesus Christ. I tried to look into the throne but could not because of its brightness.
I saw many elderly saints sitting about the throne. These I understand from the book of Revelation to be the twenty-four elders. I also saw some living creatures. They were so fearful to look upon. I was frightened by their sight and did not look at them the second time. Their duty day and night was to shout with a loud voice saying,
"Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is, and is to come."
When they said this, the elderly saints or twenty four elders removed the golden crowns upon their heads and cast them before the throne and prostrated and worshipped Him that sat on the throne and said,
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
I also heard a voice saying,
"Worthy, worthy, worthy, is the lamb that was slain."
This was the continual duty of the living creatures and the elderly saints about the throne.
Revelation 4:8-11. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to Him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, They four and twenty elders fall down before Him that sat on the throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
Praises and Worship in Heaven
I heard praises and worship in heaven. I never saw those who were rendering the praises and worship of the Almighty God. I asked the angel to allow me join them in the praises and worship, but he refused. It pained my heart to be denied that privilege. The voices of praises and worship which I heard were sharp, coming up as the voice of one person. There was harmony and proper co-ordination.
The inspiration of the praises and worship and the glory of the music ascended up to the throne. Such praises and worship cannot be described. The music cannot be compared to any music here in the world. The music was greatly inspired. The worship brought tears of joy to my eyes. The music put smiles, joy, gladness and happiness on all faces in heaven. The praises were thrilling, glorious and attractive. As the melody and music went on, I saw some substances as round objects, very bright, come and hang on the throne and they were dangling according to the melody of the music. I tapped the angel with me and asked what those substances were.
He said, "Are you hearing the songs, music and melody going on? These come from there and hang about the throne, signifying that God has accepted the praises." The praises were coming from pure and holy hearts.
The Lord's Voice Thundered From the Throne
Then I heard the voice of Him that sat on the throne speaking like a thunder, saying to me,
"My son Brother Michael, this city is prepared only for those that love Me with all their hearts. I am He that was dead; but I am alive. I will show you the glory of this kingdom."
The Lord stood up and came to me. At this time I could see Him, touch Him and feel Him. He held my right hand and we walked a short distance away from the throne. He was in the front holding my right hand. The two angels going along with us were one on my right hand side and the other on my left. We all arrived at a small river in heaven. Jesus Christ stood on the brink of that river and said,
"This is the river of the water of life."
The water was clean and clear as crystal. The water was shining as glass. I saw our images on the surface of the river. Jesus again said,
"This is the clean water I sprinkle upon believers as they come to me every day."
Revelation 22:1. "And He shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb."
Ezekiel 36:25. "Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you."
Again Jesus said, "My Father has given this place into My hand."
Truly I cannot say everything I heard and saw in my encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ.
God's Everlasting Love for Man
By the side of the river of the water of life Jesus asked me a question,
"My son Brother Michael, do you know that I love man with an everlasting love?"
I did not respond to that question. He stretched out His right hand and I saw a scroll in His hand. He quoted Jeremiah 31:3. "The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee."
Then Jesus said,
"I love man with an everlasting love. I created man in My image, after My likeness. I did not create any other creature after My likeness, except man. I have an everlasting love for man. When I created man he had no life in him. I breathed into his nostrils and man became a living soul. I also clothed man with all My natures and attributes. I did this for man because of the everlasting love I have for him. Man is the crown of all My creation. I gave him dominion over all the things I created. But man rebelled."
Genesis 1:26-27. And God said, Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
When Jesus Christ said, "But man rebelled," He bowed down His head and started weeping. I saw tears running from His eyes. When I saw my Saviour weeping, I had no choice than to join Him weeping. He continued,
"But man rebelled and went against My command-ments. Man sinned against Me. It was like man slapped Me on My face. I was badly wounded in My heart. I made a promise immediately to bring man back to Me, because My love for man is an everlasting love."
Genesis 3:11-12. "And He said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me and I did eat.
Jesus continued, "Man became so wicked on earth that the imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. I said, My Spirit would not continue to strive with man. I was not happy with that generation. And I said I would destroy man with an everlasting destruction. I was not pleased; so I wiped out that generation."
Genesis 6:5-7. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repented Me that I have made them."
Jesus continued, "I also sent them My servant Moses. I respect My holy servant Moses. I put My Spirit in him in full measure. Apart from My Spirit in Him I gave him My law to give to the people so as to bring man back to Myself; because My love for man is an everlasting love. Yet they murmured against My holy servant Moses and rebelled against Me, the Holy One of Israel.
Numbers 14:27. "How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against Me."
"Why am I doing all these things?"
Jesus asked me. He gave the answer Himself.
"Because my love for man is an everlasting love. Nevertheless I destroyed them not, because of the covenant I made with them.
I sent them kings, priests, and prophets to bring them back to Me. I sent them My holy prophet Jeremiah. I respect My servant Jeremiah. I put My spirit in him in full measure. Apart from this I gave him My word to give to the people. But very unfortunately, the people, which I created told My respected prophet saying, ´As for the word God gave to you to give to us, we will not obey it'."
Jeremiah 44:15-17. Then all the men which knew that there wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelled in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying, As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee. But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil."
Jesus started crying. He cried like a child that was beaten with stripes. He screamed,
"Man which I created, the crown of My creation!"
When I saw Jesus crying I had no choice than to cry along with Him.
The Sacrificial Death of Jesus Christ
Jesus continued, "The people I created abused Me to My face. They rejected Me their Saviour and killed My holy prophets. But because of the everlasting love I have for man I finally came down to the earth. I came down in a humble way. I came to My own but they received Me not. The people I love with an everlasting love rejected Me. Then I brought in the Gentile nations. I was scrutinized by mortal men. I was persecuted. I was beaten with many stripes. I was spat upon. I was scourged and mocked. A crown of thorns was laid on My head. I was crucified. My side was pierced with a spear."
John 1:10,11. "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not."
When He finished the statement, "I was crucified." Immediately I saw the scene of His earthly crucifixion. I saw Him as He was nailed to the cross. I saw blood flowing down from His hands and feet. I saw a fresh wound at His side where He was pierced and blood was gushing out from there. I saw the crown of thorns on His head. I saw blood running down from His head. I was viewing this scene together with Him. He was weeping. He spread out His hands and said,
"All this I did for man, because I have an everlasting love for him. Yet the best way for man to reward Me is by wickedness, stubbornness, rebellion, iniquity and transgression. I lavished My love on man because I have everlasting love for him. There is nothing that is supposed to be done that has not been done for the salvation of man from sin. Yet man slaps Me on My face by committing sin every day."
Isaiah 65:2, 3. "I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walk in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; A people that provoketh Me to anger continually to My face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of bricks."
He asked me to look at His pierced side and I did. He said,
"This fountain of blood will continue to flow until the last day."
Zechariah 13:1. "In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness."
Matthew 26:28. "For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."
With tears on His face, Jesus asked me this question:
"What else does man need in order to be saved from sin?"
I could not answer that question. He went further to say,
"My people do not take Me by My word. They confess sins everyday, yet they remain sinners. They do not believe that My precious blood, which was shed on the cross in My vicarious death, can set them free from sin and the power of sin. I HAVE MADE THE FINAL SACRIFICE FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD. If there were any sinner that I had not died for, I would have come back the second time to die for him. But I have died for all and have paid the final redemption price for all. Why is man still in sin? I did all this because of My everlasting love for man. Yet man pays Me back in wickedness and rebellion. I commended My love towards them in that while they were yet sinners I died for them. My love for man is unconditional. Man did not merit or deserve it. I left My glory in heaven, My Father's throne, My honour and joy. I left everything just because of My love for man. As if that were not enough, when I departed from the world, I sent down the Holy Spirit to convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.
I raised up apostles and anointed them to preach in their own time, which they were faithful in doing. They were faithful to Me. After the apostles I anointed saints of various generations to preach to the people of their time. I also raised up men and put My Spirit in them in full measure. I anointed them to preach Christ the crucified, the only One that can save man from sin. These I did to bring man back to Myself; even though many of these My servants disappointed Me."
When He said this, He bowed His head and wept. He continued,
"All these I did for man because of the love I have for him. Yet man pays Me back in rebellion, wickedness and stubbornness.
Due to this love I have for man, today I give mortal men like you the privilege to come alive to heaven. (Jesus tapped me and said, "Not only you, My son.") I raise men from all over the world to come up alive to see the depth and the height of My love for man and also to go and warn man of the impending danger of hell fire. Yet man hates Me more and more.
2 Chronicles 36:15,16. "And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by His messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because He had compassion on His people, and on His dwelling place: But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised His words, and misused His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against His people, till there was no remedy."
Everlasting Destruction Decreed Against Rebellious Man
Jesus said, "Look at the world today, how many people are serving Me in righteousness, holiness and truth?"
I did not answer Him, because I could not tell the situation. Then Jesus said,
"Therefore, I will destroy man with an everlasting destruction."
He quoted, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-10: "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power; When He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day."
All this while Jesus was crying like a baby. He said,
"I will destroy man with an everlasting destruction. Since I showed him My everlasting love and man rejected it, I will destroy him with an everlasting destruction for rejecting My everlasting love."
Romans 2:4-6. "Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leaded thee to repentance? But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; Who will render to every man according to his deeds."
Jesus Speaks of the Present Situation of the Church
By the side of that river in heaven, Jesus asked me this question:
"My son, do you know the situation of the church, the bride of the Lamb?"
I answered, "No, My Lord." He said,
"Come and I will show you."
In a twinkling of an eye we were at a place near a mansion in heaven. He suddenly pointed His hand down to a particular place on earth. When He did so He removed His eyes from there immediately. What I saw down on earth was a very large auditorium filled to capacity where worship and praises were going on. When I saw this I exclaimed, "My Lord, the church is on fire, worshipping You in Spirit and truth and expecting Your imminent return!" He immediately exclaimed with tears in His eyes:
"No, My son, look very well!"
Then I looked at them diligently. He did not want to look at them together with me because of the situation of that congregation. When I looked intently at them I saw that the people praising and worshipping were doing so in chains. Their hands were chained. Their feet were also chained. I saw that the chains in their hands were connected to a yoke of iron around their necks. On the head of some of them I saw heavy loads of sins. Their necks bent to one side. They were looking so tired as people needing help. Some of them had dark faces. On some of their faces I saw various types of sins written: wickedness, pride, disobedience, and so on
Ezekiel 33:31-32. And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as My people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not."
I also saw a dark image walking about in the congregation and saying, "These are my people. I keep them here in bondage. They are busy here, thinking they are serving God, but are not; and they cannot leave this place." He was saying this boastfully. The praises and worship in this congregation were different from that which I saw around the throne. They were bad, coming from people who were in chains of sins and Satan. They were not worshipping with pure and holy hearts. The dark personality was moving up and down among them, beating his hand in his chest in a boast.
Jesus said, "This is the situation of the church which I am supposed to present pure and holy to My Father. My own church has become a place of bondage. A lot of atrocities and wickedness are being done in the church. Ministers of the gospel are committing outright sins and are offering strange fire before My holy mountain, like the sons of Aaron who offered strange fire before Me. It is high time that judgment would begin in the house of the Lord."
He quoted Isaiah 42:13,14: "The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, He shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: He shall cry, yea, roar; He shall prevail against His enemies. I have long time holden My peace; I have been still, and refrained Myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once."
Jesus said, "If I destroyed the sons of Aaron for offering strange fire before My holy mountain, surely I will destroy them. But I am the God of mercy; go and warn them. Tell them that Truth, Righteousness, and Holiness are the only things that will qualify a person for entry into heaven. Go and warn those preachers. They must repent and turn away from wickedness; because I have long time holden my peace, but now will I cry. Many of them have denied the power of godliness; but that is the only way they can qualify to enter into My glorious kingdom. Go and warn man. I am sending you to the ends of the earth. I will stand by you. Go and tell him that I still love him. Tell him the way of Righteousness, Truth and Holiness of life, is the way that enters into heaven."
Jeremiah 23:9-32; Ezekiel 13:1-10, 22.
Jeremiah 23:14. "I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto Me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah."
God's Programme for This Age
On that side of heaven Jesus said,
"My Son, I have a programme for the world. When I begin My programme for this generation, all the programmes of nations, all the programmes of churches, all the programmes of man and any other programme in the world will cease to take effect. Come and see."
In a moment of time we appeared in a mansion that looked like an office. In the mansion I saw angels dressed in white robes. I also saw holy saints. They all looked alike. They were dressed in white and with glorious bodies.
I saw files and they were busy writing in them. Jesus showed me a chart and said, "The only thing remaining in God's programme for this age as you can see in this chart is the imminent return of Jesus to rapture the saints. The saints in heaven are ready. Angels are ready. Everything in heaven is set for the coming home of the saints on earth in the rapture. I have finished the mansions, but very unfortunately, man is not yet ready. The church is not yet ready for heaven. I am only waiting for the Father's command to go and bring the saints home."
Jesus asked me to look around. And truly I saw that the angels and saints in heaven were busy preparing for the homecoming of the church, the bride of Christ. I heard a cry from among the heavenly saints, "When shall our brethren come and meet us?" Then Jesus said,
"Hear it; the saints are actually sighing for their brethren in the earth."
He continued, "My Spirit shall not continue to strive with the spirit of man. I cannot continue to behold the wickedness going on in the earth. Anytime My Father tells Me to come I will come, no matter how few the saints are. I will come and take them home and close My programme for this generation.
Jesus continued, "The mansions are ready, but it is unfortunate that the bride of the Lamb, the beloved of the Lord, is not yet ready, not yet prepared and made holy for the coming of the bridegroom."
Ephesians 5:27. That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."
Jesus said emphatically, "This church age, the time of the gentiles, this generation, is the last generation."
In that mansion that looked like an office He directed my attention to the busy activities of the angels and the saints, as they were busy putting things in order in anticipation of the arrival of the saints from the earth. I saw them really in high preparation for the coming home of the saints. He showed me a scroll and said,
"This generation will not pass away until all that is written in this scroll is fulfilled."
The Narrow Way to Heaven
He said, "My son, come."
We swiftly appeared at the gate. As He stretched out His right hand, I saw the narrow way leading to heaven and He said,
"This way can accommodate only you in Christ and Christ in you. If you carry any other thing this way cannot accommodate you. This is the way of Truth, Righteousness and Holiness. Many are taking the other way. That other way is the way of the multitudes. But this is the only way to heaven. It is a narrow way and only few find it."
Matthew 7:13,14. "Enter ye in at the straight gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
At that gate, we stood for a long time before I saw a saint on earth coming along that way to heaven. It took another long time before I saw another saint coming along that way to heaven. When the saint from the earth entered into heaven I heard a shout of acclamation and joy; a soul had entered into heaven! There were usually shouts of joy when a soul entered into heaven. Speaking more of this narrow way, Jesus continued,
"This narrow way is the way of Truth, Righteousness and Holiness."
He quoted Isaiah 33:15-17: "He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. Thine eyes shall see the King in His beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off."
Jesus said, "If any man desires to enter into heaven I am the only Way, the Truth and the Life. Go and tell man I still love him."
John 14:6. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven giving among men, whereby we must be saved."
Multitudes on the Broad Way to Hell Fire
Also at that gate He stretched out His left hand and I saw the broad way. I saw multitudes of people: little children, youths, men and women of all races: black, white etc. I had perfect understanding there. I saw the rich and the poor, the nobles and kings of the earth. The density of people walking along that way, I can best compare to the multitudes of people I saw in Oshodi market, Lagos, Nigeria. They were pressing on one another, overtaking each other. I saw that their movement was not freely. There was a strong force pulling them towards the direction they were going. Then I asked the Lord Jesus, "Where are these people going to?" He answered,
"They are on their way to hell. These are people I created for My own glory, but now they are on their way to eternal destruction."
When I heard this I fell down and was crying. I pleaded, "Don't destroy them, Lord! Don't destroy them, Lord!!" He responded in tears,
"But they hated Me. How can I allow some one who does not love Me to come into My kingdom? This people have I formed to show forth My praise, but they are now going into eternal damnation."
Jesus was crying like a baby.
Ezekiel 33:11. "Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"
A Preacher Died on Earth and was Coming Towards the Gate of Heaven
Right there at the gate with Jesus a preacher died that Saturday, 26th April, 2003, between 1:00-4:00 p.m. and was coming towards the gate.
Afar off when I saw him he was dressed in white. This is the garment of Truth, Righteousness and Holiness, which Christ gives the believer.
Revelation 3:4. "Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white: for they are worthy."
From the place I was standing I could not see any spot in him. He was coming toward the gate of heaven with excitement. He wanted to walk in through the gate, but the angels shouted at him and commanded him to stop. He was asked, "Where are you going to?" "I want to enter into heaven," he replied.At this time Jesus fastened His eyes on him and said to him,
"When I saved you from your sins, I gave you a garment of Righteousness and Holiness of life. I warned you against defiling this garment. Your garment is now spotted with the world. This was not the garment I gave you when I saved you."
Revelation 16:15. "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame."
What I saw on his garment was one spot around his chest. Jesus looked at him and said,
"The Father is Holy. I am holy, the Spirit is holy; the angels are holy. The saints in heaven are holy. All the living creatures in heaven are holy. Above all heaven has been dedicated unto holy living. Nothing that is defiled, or that worketh abomination or that maketh or loveth a lie shall in any wise enter into it. Therefore, man, you cannot enter into heaven."
Jesus quoted James 1:27. "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
This man's garment was spotted with the world. He could not enter into heaven. The man was a preacher of holiness, but was not able to enter into heaven because his garment of holiness and righteousness was spotted with the world.
The man was trying to plead with Jesus Christ. Jesus was looking at him sorrowfully. While he was trying to plead for his soul, a mighty wind came on him and carried him to hell fire. I could see the man moving in the air as light as a piece of paper. When he fell into hell, it was as if a big stone was thrown into a body of water. I saw the flames of hell rose up as he sank into it. That was the end of that man, the preacher who had been preaching for years here in the world.
Unchangeable Standard for Heaven
Then Jesus said, "My standard of Truth, Righteousness and Holiness has not changed for any race, any people, any generation. The holiness I give a believer is the holiness that sets his mind on things above and not on things on the earth. It is the holiness that gives him the privilege to serve Me acceptably and to live above the influence of the world."
Hebrews 12:14. "Follow peace with all men, and HOLINESS, without which no man shall see the Lord."
1 Corinthians 9:27. "But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."
1 John 2:16-17. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."
Matthew 7:21-23. "Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity."
Colossians 3:1-6. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are death, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things´ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience."
Another Believer Died and was Coming Toward the Gate of Heaven
After the preacher had gone to hell, while we were still standing there, another believer died and was coming towards the gate. In a distance I could see spots all over his white garment. When he came, Jesus looked at him and said,
"When I saved you from your sins I gave you a robe of Righteousness and Holiness of life. But now your garment has been spotted with modern Christianity. You carried counterfeit experiences and were going about with them, which did not help you. You threw away the garment I gave you. This was not the garment I gave you."
That believer stood before the Lord in deep sorrow and was weeping. Jesus told him,
"The holiness I give a believer is the holiness that purifies his heart and enables him to serve God in true righteousness and holiness all the days of his life. Therefore nothing that defileth, or is abominable or that loveth or maketh a lie can enter into heaven. The Father is holy. I, the Son, am holy. The Spirit is holy. The angels, saints and all living creatures of heaven are holy. Above all heaven has been dedicated to holy living. Heaven is too holy to accommodate you. You cannot enter into it."
Again a mighty wind came on him and blew him into hell fire. He landed in hell. That was his end. Jesus told me He had determined not to compromise entry qualification into heaven, which is Righteousness, Truth and Holiness, though men are changing.
Revelation 21:27. "And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."
Psalm 51:6,7,10. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden parts thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."
The First Time I Went With Jesus to Hell
Then Jesus said we should go to hell. In a twinkling of an eye we arrived in hell with the two accompanying angels. I cannot vividly describe hell and the sufferings of its occupants. The words to use to describe the nature of hell and the degree of the torments and sufferings of its victims are not available to man on earth. Besides my knowledge of the available vocabulary is so little that the effort I shall make to describe hell is as the effort one makes to ascertain the quantity of sand in the seashore by counting the grains. I have the same problem in describing the beauty of heaven. The horror of hell is great. What I saw in hell scared me. I lost my strength and fell down. I became more afraid of God. I heard the agonizing cries of the damned. I heard some, pleading in their torments, "Have mercy on us, Lord. Have mercy on us, Lord. Have mercy on us, Lord." This was their continual prayer.
Life in hell is of great pity and horror. I saw people crying and gnashing their teeth.
Their faces looked older than their age because of their great torments and sufferings. I could see as if people were swimming inside the flames of hell. When hell roared and quaked, it took those in its surface down to its bottom vice versa. There are torments and sufferings in hell. I saw the burning flames of fire with people in it. I saw children, men, women; educated, uneducated, rich, poor, etc. They were crying and repenting. I heard cry coming from those who were in the depth of hell. I heard the cry of children, of the young and the old. I saw the way those in torments breathe. Their breathing was that of gasping for air as one in his dying moment. Some of them, due to their great cries, their tongues were lying outside like dogs. Some their eyeballs were as if they were falling from their sockets. Those in torments breathe in as if drawing their last breath. But this remains their state forever. Since there is no air in hell, what they breathe in and out is the burning flame of fire. The remembrance of the past privileges they had to accept the Saviour Jesus Christ which they ignored or rejected on earth, adds to their torment and sorrow. I saw them in great agony, gnashing their teeth. I saw that people were pressing themselves in hell. Hell through its quaking and roaring changes the positions of the occupants. Life in hell is of agony. The occupants are restless. Hell is in complete darkness.
Hebrews 10:31. "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
Matthew 25:30. "And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Mark 9:43-48. "And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."
Torments by the Fallen Angels in Hell
I saw fallen angels with whips, beating and tormenting the victims of hell. These fallen angels looked cruel. One could read wickedness from their faces. Apart from their tormenting words and works I also saw big worms in hell which bore their ways through the bodies of the victims. The burning flames never affected these worms. All these while as we were there Jesus was crying. He said, "I formed these people for My glory, but they are now languishing in the eternal torments of hell."
A Woman Died on Earth and Landed in Hell
When we were there a woman died on earth and landed in hell. One of the fallen angels carried a big dagger, lifted it up and thrust it into her back. The woman screamed in great pain and started confessing her sins: "I was a gossiper, a liar, a talebearer, etc." He yelled at her, "Shut up! When you were in the world you had the privilege of accepting that Righteous man into your life (pointing to our direction) but you rejected it. If I had that same privilege I would have changed my own destiny. But my own destiny is sealed and I am doomed for eternity. That is why I am here."
I asked Jesus Christ one question, "You love man with an everlasting love; but why did you create hell like this?" Jesus answered,
"Hell fire was created only for the devil and his angels. But man put himself in the condition of the devil, so he must suffer the same condemnation."
Matthew 25:41. "Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels."
The prayer people are praying in hell, believers on earth may not be able to pray with such fervency. Jesus said,
"I passed through bitter experiences on earth because of the love I have for man. But with all the love I showed man, he rejected Me; that is why he finds himself in hell like this."
What I saw with my two eyes in hell broke my heart and I wept. I cannot describe hell as a mortal man. If any one gets there, he will tell it better. Jesus took me back to heaven.
Jesus Commissioned Me
In heaven He said, "I am commissioning you to go back into the world to tell them of My everlasting love for man. Tell man I love him with an everlasting love. Tell him to repent and turn to Me. Preach Christ the crucified. Preach Truth, Righteousness and Holiness; because that is the only way that can bring man to heaven. Preach holiness as if no one has ever preached it in the world."
I did not want to return to the world, but He brought me to the gate and said,
"My son, I will show you why you will come back to the world."
He touched my right ear and I heard my Region Pastor, youth coordinator and other leaders praying and pleading for my restoration to life. He left me and the two angels at the beautiful gate and said,
"My son, I will see you again."
He waved at me and said, "Bye".
The two angels brought me back and showed me the way to the world. When they were returning, I held them at their garments because I did not want to return to the world. I had seen the King in the beauty of His holiness and had also seen the deceitfulness and emptiness of this present world. Brethren, this world is a place of emptiness.
When I came back my two eyes were open but I was not seeing anything in the world, not even the people around me then. This first heavenly experience started from about 1.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m.
Ch 2 - My Second Transit to Heaven
Not up to one hour after I revived on earth the two angels came to me again and said, "Brother Michael, the Lord is calling you, come up higher." Then I shouted in excitement, "You have come for me again!" I fell to the ground. I could not tell whatever was the condition of my physical body lying on the floor then. The next thing I saw was that I had put on a body like theirs and we left for heaven. Soon we arrived at the beautiful gate. I met Jesus Christ standing at the gate. When He saw me He smiled at me and held my right hand and said,
"My son, you are welcome. I have not finished showing you what I want to show you."
Then we all went into heaven. We went near a particular mansion. As we stood by the side of the mansion He looked at me and said,
"Men say, the people of the world say, `How can fish swim in the river and not drink water from it?' This is the thought of men, their imagination. My blood can save any one who comes to Me from sin and sustain him in Righteousness and Holiness. My blood can set him free from the power of sin. Go and tell them, My standard has not changed. My standard on Holiness has not changed. I am the Lord, I change not. I remain the same yesterday, today and for ever."
Hebrew 9:14. "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
The Church Now a Place of Fleshly Pleasure
Jesus continued, "The church has become a place of pleasure where all sorts of wickedness are being practiced. Ladies seduce men through their immoral dressing. I cannot behold this wickedness going on in the church. Ministers of the gospel are not left out. The church has become a place of seduction. People go from church to hell."
Jesus continued, "Many believers live as if they are going to spend the rest of their lives on earth. They are careless about the perishing souls of men. Preaching the word is not only My heart-beat but also My heart-pain. But many things have occupied the mind of the Christian pilgrim. He has forgotten that he is a stranger in this world passing through to another world."
Ezekiel 8:4-18. "He said further unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel commiteth here, that I should go far off from My sanctuary? But turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations. Then said He unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seest us not; the LORD hast forsaken the earth. Therefore will I also deal in fury: Mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in Mine ear with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them."
Crowns For the Faithful
I was taken to a particular mansion where I saw many crowns. This mansion was very big and full of crowns. Some crowns were very big, some were small and some of medium sizes. Jesus said,
"These crowns are for the faithful and overcomers who overcome self, the world and the devil. Blessed are the overcomers for they shall sit at My Father's right hand."
Revelation 2:10b. “be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."
I Saw My Late Friend in Heaven
Jesus again said, "I will show you that one can serve Me in Righteousness and Holiness all the days of his life amidst this corrupt and perverse generation on earth. I will show you your friend who died in the world."
This friend of mine died in Jalingo, Taraba State, Nigeria, on 7th November, 2001. He was a close friend indeed. We were mates in secondary school. We went to the same Polytechnic, although he was a year ahead of me. There in the Polytechnic we studied together, ate together, sang in the choir together and even slept on the same bed. We did all things in common. Jesus then took me to a mansion, very beautiful. As if my friend had got the knowledge of our coming, he came out of the mansion looking very glorious. He was wearing a big crown on his head and was full of smiles. When he saw me he said in excitement "O Brother Michael, you are welcome!" We shook hands together with him. Jesus pointed at him and said,
"Look at him; you worked in My vineyard together; you did all things in common. If he made it, you too can make it. This is to show you that a young man like you can serve Me acceptably in this corrupt generation, in holiness and righteousness all the days of his life. If he could make it, you too can make it."
I am sure that mansion belongs to my friend. I saw uncountable mansions prepared for the saints, but the saints on earth are not yet prepared. When my friend said "O Brother Michael, you are welcome!" Jesus told him, I was going back to the world. I cried out, "O My Saviour!" I was not willing to return to the world. To know that heaven was mine the joy was beyond comparison. "How sure am I," I said, "that I will be able to make it back again to heaven if I return to the earth?" But Jesus said firmly "You are going back to the world."
Then my friend bid me farewell and said, "Bye, till we meet again." I wept, because I did not want to part with him. Jesus took me away from that place.
Messages to Some Individuals on Earth
My second transit to heaven is more of personal messages to people. I was shown some crowns with some people's names on them. I know some of them personally who are still alive on earth. Jesus asked me,
"Do you know sister …"
He was asking me of a particular sister I know. I answered, "Yes, Lord." He said,
"That sister is My servant."
All at once that sister appeared before us in heaven, dressed in white, looking gloriously beautiful, of no earthly comparison. She was wearing a glorious crown on her head, with a smile on her face.
Again he asked, "Do you know the wife of pastor …?"
He was talking of the wife of one of our pastors. I answered, "Yes, My Lord." He said,
"She is My servant."
All at once this sister appeared in heaven in complete white, shining brightly and gloriously beautiful, with a crown on her head and a joyful smile.
Heaven is a place of perfect beauty. Everything is extremely beautiful. If a heavenly saint appears on earth, his beauty will be beyond the imagination of the minds of men. Cosmetic beauty of the earth in comparison is as clothing someone with rags.
Jesus also asked me if I knew some pastors and ministers in our ministry. He mentioned their names and I answered," Yes, My Lord." He said,
"Those are my servants."
He gave me messages to some of my relations, which I delivered.
Jesus said, "I will stand by you."
In my transit to heaven I went to a lot of places. Some of the things I saw I was restricted from speaking about them.
There were some things I asked questions about, but the angel silenced me. I was told not to talk about some of the things I saw, but to testify to men the things that were given to me.
Thanks to God who has been helping me to testify of the things He gave me. Jesus assured me in heaven that He would stand by me.
He said, "So sent I you to the ends of the earth to tell man My love and warn him of hell fire."
He quoted Hebrews 1:9. "Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows."
Jesus said, "This verse refers to Me, but if any minister submits himself to this Scripture, I will stand by him."
He said, "As I love righteousness and hate iniquity, so send I you. Hate iniquity till your last blood drops. Never encourage iniquity. Make this your personal commitment and I will be with you."
2 Chronicles 16:9. "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him."
The Second Visit to Hell Again
Jesus said, "I am taking you back to hell to see the agony of hell."
We arrived at the gate and I saw people walking on the broad way to hell. Multitudes were trooping to hell. In hell I heard the groaning of the damned. This was the second time I went to hell. I heard people crying and confessing the sins they refused to confess on earth. Many pastors are in hell. Many ministers of the gospel are in hell. Atheists and various categories of people are in hell. No tongue can tell the horror and sufferings of hell.
Jesus said, "I created them and loved them with everlasting love. but they hated Me; that is why I am destroying them with My everlasting destruction. Go and tell man, if any desires to come to heaven, I Jesus, will give him every grace he needs to come to heaven. But if any desires to go to hell, Satan will immediately give him all the support he needs to be there."
I saw a Member of Our Local Church in Hell
I saw a brother in hell. He was a member of our church. This brother was very committed and zealous, but alas, he died with hidden and unconfessed sin and found himself in hell. When I saw him I did not believe he was the one. I tapped Jesus and asked, "My Lord, is this the brother from so and so church?" He answered,
"Yes."
The brother began to speak, "I committed fornication and covered it and death came and carried me away." If a brother of such zeal and commitment could still go to hell, we must fear God and walk with care everyday."
Proverbs 28:13. "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."
Suffering Assured Me For Preaching Holiness
Jesus, the two angels and I stood together. He pointed his hand to hell and said,
"Man cannot understand the nature of the torments of hell, however, go and tell him. Tell him if all the sufferings of the earth were gathered together to be borne by one man, it would still not compare to what that man will suffer for 24 hours in hell. Yet man may not understand; go and still tell him."
Jesus continued, "You will pass through a lot of suffering because of this message of Holiness and Righteousness. Because of the pollution that is in the world, many will deny the power of godliness and righteous living. Yet, go. I have sent you. I will stand by you."
John 15:18-21. "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not Him that sent Me."
Careless Lives of Believers
After this Jesus lamentably said, "Believers are living in this life as if they are of the world. But they are not of the world. They are supposed to live separate from the world.
He continued, "I bless My people, but they abuse My blessings."
Jesus quoted Jeremiah 22:21, "I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou sayest, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice."
Jesus said, "The people have no concern for the poor and needy. Very unfortunately the pilgrim has forgotten that he is a stranger in this world. The church is doing nothing about the never dying souls of men in the world. The church must awake from sleep and slumber and save dying men from going to hell."
He quoted 2 Peter 3:8-14: "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless."
Jesus emphatically said, "Without holiness Hebrews 12:14, "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord."
He said, "Go and tell man, My standard has not changed. The standard of the word of God has not changed. I have not changed My standard for any generation, for any age, for any people."
Hebrews 13:8. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever."
Psalm 119:89. "For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven."
Jesus said, "You are going back to the world."
He brought me to the gate and said, "I will see you again."
Then the two angels brought me on the way. As we were going I saw a place like a globe afar off. It was looking darkly, but I could see lights here and there: some shining brightly, some dimly and some almost quenching. I asked the angel, "What place am I seeing afar off?" He answered, "That is the dirty world people are crazy for and wasting their lives about. The lights you see here and there in it is the light of Christ upon the believers that are in it." I saw the vanity of the world and its deception on man.
Matthew 16:26. "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his own soul?"
This is the account of my second visit to heaven and to hell. I cannot say all the things I saw and heard. We went to many places in heaven. This second transit lasted for about 9 hours. At this time my body was lying lifeless in the Retreat camp. This happened in the youth camp of the Deeper Life Easter Retreat, 2003. When I revived on Sunday morning I saw myself surrounded by church leaders and pastors. They had removed me from the youth camp to an isolated place in the adult camp.
Ch 3 - My Third Transit to Heaven
What I am going to present now is my third transit to heaven.
Two Angels Appeared to Take Me to Heaven
The Retreat ended on Sunday, 27th April 2003. I went to the house of my youth coordinator, which is near Takum Army Barracks. On Monday morning he told me to prepare to teach the youth Bible study in Army Barrack's district. I told him I would not be able. This was because I was so weak in the body. I needed time to recover my strength. He gave the assignment to my immediate elder brother. In the evening of that day I attended the youth Bible study. When we returned to the house I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in the room. I told my elder brother what I was sensing. I told him I envisaged my going to heaven again and that if I died this time I might not come back. Then I said, "If I die give these shirts to my cousins." This was around 6.00 p.m., Monday, a day after the Retreat. While I was still speaking to my elder brother, the two angels appeared in the room. When I saw them I shouted in excitement, "You have come for me again, you are welcome. Thank you Jesus!" The angels said, "The Lord is calling you to come up higher." Then as usual I journeyed with them to heaven.
A Believer Died of Immorality and was Coming Towards the Gate of Heaven
When we arrived at the gate I met Jesus Christ. He said,
"Brother Michael, you are again welcome."
He smiled. The angels at the beautiful pearly gate welcomed me. We all stood quietly at that gate. I saw that the smiling face of Jesus suddenly changed into a sad and sorrowful one. I wondered what could have been responsible for that. I understood the reason by the event that immediately followed. When we were there at the gate, a believer died on earth and was coming. He died that Monday around 6:00 pm, not long after I was taken up. As he was coming towards the gate he was crying and pleading, "Will there not be mercy and forgiveness for me again?" What really happened? Jesus narrated to me the incidence of this man. He was a fervent believer whose name was in the book of life. That Monday morning he bid farewell to his family and left for a journey. But unfortunately Satan prepared a seductive lady against him. This lady seduced him in the public vehicle he boarded. When they arrived at their destination he took the lady to a hotel and slept with her. Within that period the devil succeeded in killing him. At the gate, he cried and pleaded with Jesus for mercy and forgiveness. Jesus said,
"When that lady seduced you to sell your birthright, I gave you sufficient grace to overcome that temptation. My Spirit kept on warning you, `Son, don't commit that evil.' But you were drawn out of your lust and you yielded to the temptation and committed that sin. This city is too holy to permit you to enter into it. It is too holy to accommodate you. You have thrown away your entry permit into heaven."
The book of record opened on its own accord. This man's record showed that adultery was the only sin that removed his name from the book of life. His name was in the book of life in the morning of that day, but by the evening of the same day it had been removed.
What a great loss to Jesus Christ who saved him through the shedding of His blood! What a great loss to the church this man worshipped with! What a great loss to the family of this man! What a great loss to the soul of this man!!
Jesus said, "Here there is no mercy. Mercy is only obtainable on earth."
The worst thing has happened to this man. His soul is lost forever.
Ezekiel 18:24-26. "But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not My way equal? are not your ways unequal? When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die."
1 Corinthians 10:13. "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
Exodus 32:33. "And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book."
Hebrews 9:27. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, after this the judgment."
The Third Visit to Hell
From that gate Jesus took me to hell so that I could hear what make some people end up their life and Christianity in hell fire.
A Member of a Pentecostal Church in Hell Vowed Not to Forgive Her Pastor
When we arrived to hell, a young lady saw me afar off and shouted, "Oh, have you come to help me out of this place?" I could not respond to her question. Then she began to tell me the story of her life. She said, "I was a member of a Pentecostal Church. My pastor told me that wearing trousers, as a lady, was not a sin against God. He also said perming or jerry curling my hair, bleaching my skin, using lipsticks, plaiting my hair with attachments, were never sins against God. But the very day I arrived here I discovered that my pastor had deceived me. Can I ever forgive this man? Now it is too late for me. Can I ever leave this place?" While she talked, hell roared and she was swallowed up by its waves and tides. I did not see her again. She said these things she indulged herself in prevented her from truly serving God and have condemned her to hell; Genesis 35:1-5; Jeremiah 4:30; Proverbs 7:10; Romans 1:21-26; 1Peter 3:3-5.
Deuteronomy 22:5. "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God."
Isaiah 3:16-24. "Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretch forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as the go, and making a tinkling with their feet: Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts. In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the head bands, and the tablets, and the earrings, The rings, and nose jewels, The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent, and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty."
1 Timothy 2:9,10. "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works."
I Saw a Lady I Knew on Earth in Hell
At that instance another lady came up. I knew this lady here on earth before she died. When she saw me she recognized me perfectly. She called out at me, "Brother Michael, can you help me?" I hardly recognized her because of the sufferings of hell. Her face looked older than her age. I said, "Sister, you finally ended up in hell? So this is where you have ended up your Christianity?" She said, "You warned me when I backslid, but I did not listen to you and now I am here." This lady died in 2001. She was a true believer but later backslid and went into the world. I warned her and told her to return to the Lord but she did not hear me. She did not return to the Lord till she died. When she finished her words hell roared and she was covered up by its waves and tides.
The Sufferings and Horrors of Hell
No one can tell the sufferings and horrors of hell. There are a lot of things people pass through in hell. They are greatly tormented by the fervent heat and burning flames of hell fire. Apart from the anger of the fires of hell, there are the fallen angels who are cruel and wicked and the never dying worms of hell. These constantly add to the torments of those burning in the fires of hell. They are also tormented by their memories. If these people have the privilege to come back to the world they will tell better the torments and horrors of hell. Up till now I am still having the mental picture of the sufferings and horrors of hell that I saw.
A Man in Hell For Thousands of Years Lamented
Immediately this lady got swallowed up by the flames of hell, an old man emerged from the tormenting flames. When he saw me standing with Jesus he said, "H m m m, my son, you are a privileged man. I have been in this torment for thousands of years and now I know that I cannot leave this place. I am doomed for eternity." This was what the old man told me. By virtue of the thousands of years he had spent in hell he had come to know that God's condemnation is forever. God did not change His word, notwithstanding his continual pleading.
A Woman in the Torments of Hell Thought She Was Dreaming Again
I saw another woman in hell crying bitterly. She had lived a sinful life on earth and never cared to give her life to Jesus Christ. She had just died and was cast into hell. When she was passing through the torments of hell fire she thought she was dreaming. She was asking while in torments, "Am I now in hell? Am I dreaming?" A fallen angel told her she should not worry; very soon she would wake up from her dream. This woman immediately realised that she had been cast into hell to suffer its everlasting torments. She confessed that she had lived in all sorts of sins and never cared to give her life to Jesus Christ. She said that she had been a backbiter and lived in gossip and hatred and that now she had been condemned to hell.
Romans 1:29-32. "Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, malicious-ness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, whithout natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."
An Elder of a Church Confessed His Sins in Hell
I also saw a religious man in the torments of hell. According to him he was an elder in a church when he was in the world. He said, "I was not born again and did not want to be born again. I hated those that were born again and did not want to have anything to do with them. My children were born again, but I persecuted and frustrated them until they all backslid." He realised that religion without Christ leads to hell fire. He said, "I don't want my children to come and join me in the torments of everlasting fire." He was only a Christian by religion and did not possess genuine salvation from sin through faith in Christ. Being a Christian by religion only did not save his soul from hell fire.
John 3:3. "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
An Atheist in Hell Confessed His Folly
I saw an atheist in the torments of hell. In his lifetime he did not believe that God exist. He said, "The things I spoke and wrote against God's existence were all wrong. The first day I arrived to hell I realized that God is real and does exist. But it is too late for me to believe in God now. I have fallen into the hands of this God and I know I cannot escape it."
Psalm 53:1. "The fool hath saith in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good."
A Young Man in Hell Confessed His Immoral Sins
I heard a young man speaking in hell from a distance. He was confessing, "I committed fornication with many girls and caused them to commit abortion." I saw a lady close to him. It looked like they were accusing each other for going to hell.
A Church Worker in Hell Confessed The Sin He Covered on Earth
I also saw one who had been a believer in Christ in the torments of hell. He told me he was a Christian worker in the church he belonged to on earth. He said he was like Eli who covered the sins of his children and refused to confess or expose them. He quoted Proverbs chapter twenty-eight verse thirteen.
Proverbs 28:13. "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."
1 Samuel 2:12-17. "Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial: they knew not the LORD. Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord."
1 Samuel 3:12,13. "In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end. For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not."
I Saw a Relation of Mine in Hell
I also saw one of my relations in hell. He was a religious man. When he was on earth he worked for the Lord, but without a definite experience of salvation from sin through faith on the Lord Jesus Christ. I saw him passing through the torments of hell. When he saw me, he screamed "Oh! Oh!!" He said nothing again. He was weeping profusely.
The Plea of a Little Child in the Torments of Hell Broke my Heart
The most heartbreaking scene I saw in hell was the torment a little child of less than ten was going through in the flames of hell. This child cried out to the Saviour, "Have mercy on me. Have mercy on me. Have mercy on me." His suffering and plea broke my heart. I burst out crying. I saw that Jesus also was crying. I lost all the strength I had there in hell. I pleaded with Jesus to deliver that boy from hell. Jesus replied,
"I am God. My standard has not changed. My standard on holiness has not changed. Take Me by My word, My son. I cannot compromise My standard because of this little child."
Notwithstanding I pleaded the second time with Jesus to remove that child. I felt that He would hear me because of His passionate love for me. Jesus affirmed,
"I cannot compromise My standard because of this little child. My standard has not changed for any generation, any race, any people."
I was lying down crying because of the sufferings and petition of that child. I persevered in petitioning the Lord for the removal of that little child. I requested for the third time that the Lord might remove the boy from hell fire. This time Jesus frowned at me. His eyes became red like fire. He said,
"That is why I am God. I cannot change. I am still the God of yesterday, today, and forever. I have not changed. I cannot compromise the standard of My word because of any of My creatures. I have cried enough. I have pleaded enough with man. I have shown man enough love. If man refuses to retain Me in his knowledge I will destroy him."
He quoted Psalm 9:17, "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God."
The Weeping Saviour
In heaven everyone is happy and joyful. But Jesus, the Lord, cries daily because of the sins and wickedness in the world and in the Church. Jesus said,
"If the whole world today decides not to recognize Me as Saviour and Lord and to serve Me I will turn the whole world into hell; nothing will touch Me any longer. I have cried enough. Here in hell there is no mercy. Even you, My son, if you turn away from Me and walk no more in Righteousness, Truth and Holiness, I will condemn you to hell."
Romans 2:11. "For there is no respect of persons with God."
Then Jesus touched me and said, "Come over; let us go back to heaven, My son."
We left hell and went back to heaven.
Satan's Reaction to Our Visits to Hell
Satan had seen me with Jesus all these three times we went to hell. When we went back to heaven Jesus said,
"Listen to what the devil is doing right now in hell."
He opened my eyes and I saw the reaction in hell following our departure.
Satan's Plan to Destroy Me and This Message
Satan shouted and made different kinds of noise. The Lord made me to see how in response to Satan's call his demonic authorities on earth flew to hell for an emergency meeting. They all gathered before Satan in hell. Satan addressed them saying,
"That Righteous man has brought this young man all this while to hell so that he should see the horror, agony and sufferings of hell which men on earth are ignorant of. We must not take this for a joke. That Righteous man wants to send him to the world to tell them the indispensability of holiness for entrance into heaven, which many are ignorant of. There will then soon be a revival of holiness on the earth. I am realising that there shall soon be a revival of Holiness Movement in the world. People shall soon realize that it is only holiness that can take them to heaven. We must pursue this young man and overtake him. We must take the message out of his mouth and, if possible, we shall destroy his life."
Satan Revealed His Schemes For Damning Human Souls
Computer, Internet and Television
"I am still in the business of inventing things that can take away the attention of the believers from heaven. I am the brain behind computer, Internet and television. Today on the Internet and the computer pornography is promoted. You can find the pictures of naked men and women. When holiness people watch these they get into their heart and pollute it and their holiness is destroyed; they become unfit for heaven. I also introduce some programs on the television just to destroy holiness in the lives of people and make them unfit for heaven."
Flashy Cars and Material Things
Satan continued, "I invent many flashy cars and many flashy material things of this life, because I am the prince of this life. I do these to attract the believer's mind to the mundane things of this sinful life. I will make this life very pleasurable and attractive such that no believer can resist my force. Only the holy and heavenly-minded believer can resist my great force."
Seductive Ladies in Holiness Churches
He then called a princess. When this princess appeared she looked like a harlot in the world. He told her, "Go and organise young, beautiful ladies into churches of holiness people to seduce the ministers of God. Let them cause believers to hate their wives and lust after their beauty. They should make them fall by immorality. I have poured down the spirit of immorality into the world. Go with such force that no man can resist you. Be wise, behave like a Christian."
1 Peter 5:8. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."
Songs of Solomon 2:15. "Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes."
Psalm 119:37,38. "Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. Stablish thy word unto thy servant, that is devoted unto thy fear."
1 John 2:15-17. "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."
Mark 4:18,19. "And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful."
Proverbs 5:3-9. "For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel."
Proverbs 6:23-28,32. "For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. "for by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burnt? Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burnt?" But whoso committed adultery with a woman lacked understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul."
Quenching The Fire of God in Churches
He also called another prince and commissioned him saying,
"You go and make sure that you quench the fire of God in every church so that we can come in and have our field day."
Disobedience, Stubbornness and Rebellion in Ministers' Children
He called another prince and said, "Go and cause the children of the ministers of God and the children of serious minded believers to live lives contrary to the ministry of their parents. Make them stubborn to their parents. Let them hurt the hearts and minds of their parents. The parents may be provoked in reaction to say or do some unholy things which may cause the hedge of God over them to be broken. Then we will come in and destroy the ministry of their parents."
Ephesians 6:1-4. "Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."
Hatred, Quarrel and Absence of Love in the Family
He also called a prince and said, "Go and cause husbands and wives to hate each other. Make them quarrel and fight on daily basis. Make the family a battleground. Take away love from the family."
Ephesians 5:22-33. "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and He is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it; So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband."
Galatians 5:15. "But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another."
Carelessness, Laziness and Lukewarmness Towards Prayer
Satan commanded, "Let prayer be taken away from the family and from the Church. Make the people careless, lazy and lukewarm towards prayer. Let the church be prayerless and cold. Let family prayer altar be pulled down. When there is no prayer there cannot be holiness of life in a Christian. Go with such force that no one can resist."
Luke 18:1. "And He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint."
1 Thessalonians 5:17. "Pray without ceasing."
Fornication Among the Youths
Satan beat his hand on his chest and said, "All youths must come under the sin of fornication. All youths must be brought under the bondage of immorality."
Silencing Gospel Preachers Through Personal Sins and Backsliding
Satan also said, "I have succeeded in silencing and closing up the mouths of many preachers. When they come before the people, they say, `We are all sinners. No one can live a righteous life.' I keep them busy in the church. They are kept in bondage in the church. They are ignorant of the saving power of that Righteous man. The preachers deny the power of godliness."
2 Timothy 3:5-8. "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive, silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith."
Ungodly Music Used by Some Churches of Christ
Satan continued, "I also inspire some music which looks attractive to the church. Some Christians are ignorantly going about with this music. When they go on in such music I come in and operate freely, cause a lot of havoc in the church and go scot-free."
2 Corinthians 2:11. "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices."
Deceitful Signs and Wonders in the Ministry of Backsliding Ministers
Satan continued, "Some preachers who were once upon a time in the grace of God have lost the fountain of that calvary. I keep on deceiving them with lying signs and wonders. They think God is with them; they do not know that they are already off from the grace of God. Their destruction is coming suddenly without remedy."
Closed Doors to Missionaries in Unevangelised Lands
Satan continued, "There are some that have never heard the name of that Righteous man. Those closed lands must remain closed forever. You must never allow missionaries to go in and mention His name so they may be saved. Go with full force that no one may escape. Those you have chance to destroy their lives, do. The time is short and His coming is at hand. Those lands must remain closed."
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12. "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
Matthew 7:21-23. "Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity."
Carelessness of Believers Toward Evangelism
Satan continued, "Make the believers careless about preaching the gospel. Make them pay nonchalant attitude to the heartbeat and heart-pain of that Righteous Man - the salvation of the people He died and shed His blood for."
1 Corinthians 9:16. "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!"
Occultism and Witchcraft
Satan also declared an operation in hell known as operation-catch-themyoung. He commanded his cohort saying,
"Go and initiate as many as possible into occultism and witchcraft. Initiate the children and the young ones."
These are the strategies of Satan and he is carrying them out with full force. Right there in heaven I saw his demonic hosts disperse into the world to carry out Satan's errands. They are here now in the world at work among men. Children of God must take unto them the whole armour of God and do all to stand against the wiles of the devil. We must do all to escape for our dear lives and to help others escape too.
Deuteronomy 18:9-14. "When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observer of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do."
Holiness, Righteousness and Truth: The Standard for Heaven
Right there in heaven Jesus commissioned me into the world. He said,
"Tell those ministers to repent and return to Me. If they refuse to repent I will devour them at once. Holiness, Righteousness and Truth are the only things that will bring man to My righteous kingdom. Go and warn man. I am sending you to the ends of the earth to declare to man My standard for heaven: Holiness, Righteousness and Truth. Tell man I still love him."
He quoted Isaiah 33:15-17: "He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. Thine eyes shall see the King in His beauty: They shall behold the land that is very far off."
Again Jesus quoted Isaiah 62:10-12: "Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the high way; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken."
Jesus said, "Go and tell man righteousness, truth and holiness of life are the things that will qualify the believer for entrance into heaven. Without holiness no man shall see the Lord. As you go, lift up the standard of Holiness in your personal life for people to see. Make it clear for the people. Let the whole world know. Lift up the banner of Holiness and Righteousness. Tell man I still love him.
Live your life as a Christian ought to live."
Hebrews 12:14b. “Without holiness no man will see the Lord.”
Jesus Warned Against the Activities of False Prophets and Teachers
Jesus said, "Meddle not with them that are given to change. Be careful with the people you meet with. Be careful with the people that come around you."
2 John 10. "If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed."
Philippians 3:2. "Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision."
Colossians 2:8. "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."
Jesus gave me three basic warnings. He said,
"Be careful of women. Be careful of worldly desires. Be careful of the pride of life."
Nehemiah 13:26. "Did not Solomon King of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin."
1 John 2:16. "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."
He said, "Tell the world, My standard is high. I have not changed. I am still God."
He quoted 2 Peter 2:1-3: "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."
The Lord said, "In these last days false teachers will arise and they are already operating in the world. These bring damnable heresies into the church, denying godliness and holiness. Many shall follow their ways. The way of truth, righteousness and holiness shall be evil spoken of. But, go and say it out. I will stand by you. Tell man I still love him. Tell him My standard is high."
Ephesians 5:27. "That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."
Hebrews 12:14. "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord."
My Return to the Earth
When I returned to the earth I was very weak. The wife of my youth coordinator and the wife of one of the district coordinators were massaging my body. I was lying down. My tongue was not loosed for speech until around 1.00 p.m., when my pastor came around. I was sorrowful for my return to the earth. I wished to go back to heaven. The Lord gave me this song to comfort and strengthen me.
HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW
Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
My constant Friend is
He His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
I know He watches me
2. Let not your heart be troubled
His tender word I hear
And resting on his goodness
I lose my doubt and fear
Though by the path He leadeth
But one step I may see
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
3. Whenever I am tempted Whenever clouds arise
When songs give place to sighing
When hope within me dies
I draw the closer to Him
From fear He sets me free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He cares for me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He cares for me
2 Corinthians 1:3-4. "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforted us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."
Ch 4 - Christ's Visit to me in the Teaching Hospital
The devil had told his cohort in their emergency meeting in hell that they should pursue and attack me in order to remove the message the Lord gave me for the world. He told them if they could, they should kill me. Truly I saw this in reality. I was involved in a ghastly accident and have experienced many kinds of satanic attacks.
My Right Leg Became Paralyzed
The one I am going to present here concerns the paralysis of my right leg which happened in the second week of October, 2003, about six months after my visits to heaven and hell. The Monday of this week, after my personal time with God, I went to attend lectures. I sat on a bench with one of my friends. I removed my notebook and placed it on the table to take notes. The hall was a big one and only that friend and I sat on that bench. To my surprise, that notebook could not be seen again. I asked him of the notebook I kept on the table before us and he said he did not know anything about it. I did not believe him because nobody had come to where we were sitting. I asked him to check his bag. He did so and did not see it. Then I perceived it was a spiritual battle.
We were fully loaded with lectures and practical. I had been busy all this while and did not have time to pray over this mysterious happening. After practical at about 5.00 pm I went straight to the fellowship. Twenty minutes after I was seated in the hall, as activities went on, I felt like vomiting. I went out and vomited blood and some fluid. I cleaned up myself and returned to the hall and sat down.
Not up to twenty minutes later I felt an electric shock and a sharp pain over me. Except that I exercised great control over myself I would have cried out loudly. The message was about starting. I tried to move my right leg, but there was no sensation on it at all. In fact it was as if I did not have a right leg. I tapped a friend sitting by me and said, "Something has happened to me. Please, go out and get me a stick."
The brother, not knowing what had happened, went out and got a tiny stick for me. When I struggled to stand up with the support of that stick, it broke. Then the brethren knew that something terrible had happened to me. They came and carried me on the back to one of the fellowship apartments. When I was in this apartment, I saw the devil come with a spear to throw at me. I shouted, "Jesus!" He disappeared.
The campus fellowship leaders who were praying for me heard me shouting, "Jesus," but they did not know what happened. I did not let them know about it either. They again came and backed me to my hostel. I thought the whole thing would be over that evening, but it did not happen so.
The following day I could not go for my lectures. I could not eat because I had no appetite. I sat, thinking, `Does it now mean I will hence be using crutches or wheel chair?" I told myself that it would not be so. I did not blame God for my affliction at all.
I Was Taken to the University Teaching Hospital
The brethren reasoned by evening of Tuesday that I should be taken to the University Teaching Hospital. My father was contacted by phone. The State Overseer of our church in my state of origin, Taraba, was informed of this incidence by phone. The Takum Region Overseer was informed. The Borno State Overseer was also told what was going on with me. Much prayer ascended to heaven for my deliverance. The brethren prayed violently. I know Satan suffered much torture through the prayers of the saints. When I was in the hospital I saw practical Christian love manifested towards me by the brethren. I enjoyed their love. My fellow students were bringing food, fruits, etc. for me. Thanks to God for such brotherly love.
I was taken to the hospital around 1:00 am, Wednesday morning. The doctor on call was told of my condition. I was taken to the emergency unit for his examination. After he had examined me he told some of our fellowship leaders that he was confused and that he did not understand what was wrong with me. He told them to carry me back to the hostel. But the brethren pleaded with him to allow me there that night, since it was already late and there was no means of conveying me to the hostel; besides they hoped I would be given proper admission the following morning. He consented to their request.
Strange Behaviour of a Nurse in the Hospital
The following morning I was given proper admission and was taken to one of the units. At this time I was sitting on a wheel chair. The paralysed leg was stiff. Where I was taken to, a nurse was passing by and kicked the affected leg. I wondered at such act. A nurse kicking a sick patient in my condition! I determined to confront him when he returned. When he returned I said, "Sir, you passed this way and kicked my leg and did not apologize for it: is that how you treat your patients in the wards?" He became angry and said, "Why did you put your leg here?" He lifted up his foot and kicked the leg properly. "I have people in this hospital that will terminate your appointment if I file your case," I warned him. We have brethren who are consultants in the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital where I was admitted. It dawned on me that the devil was at war with me. My elder brother was there caring for me. I told him I had seen satanic manipulation in the hospital and that he should carry me back to the hostel. He rejected my request and since I could not walk by myself, I remained still. I was given a bed where I laid.
Efforts of Doctors in the Hospital
About thirteen doctors came to carry out a team investigation on me to find out the cause of the paralysis. They carried out various tests but could not arrive at a definite cause. They had nothing to say to be the cause of my leg being paralysed. The last day they came they gave the suggestion that I should be taken to radiology department so that the leg could be exercised and with the help of a walking stick it might be restored. They also directed that I should have brain scanning that might help to ascertain the cause of the paralysis. The cost of this brain scanning was about fifteen thousand Naira. People flocked in to my ward to visit and comfort me. The people in the ward wondered who I was that was so loved and cared for by many people. Our state campus coordinator also came to comfort me. The Lord indeed decided to honour me in the sight of the people in the hospital.
Jesus Came to the Hospital and Healed Me
Now when I discovered that the doctors were not clear of what was the cause and that much money had been spent already on me I was provoked to seek the face of the Lord. It was around 1.00 pm. I prayed and said, "God, I did not call myself into your service; You called me into it." I went into singing hymns and songs. One of the songs I sang goes thus:
When you are in need Call on Jesus
He has the power to lift you up
When you are in need,
Please, call on Jesus
He has the power to lift you up
When you are in need
Call on Jesus
He has the power to lift you up
Because He answers
When I call upon his name
He will hear, He will hear,
When I call upon His name
He will hear.
I did not pray much. I was singing and worshipping God and giving Him thanks. I closed the apartment to my bed. While in the spirit of worship, I saw that somebody opened my apartment and walked in to me. He came in with a right leg, a liver and a heart in his hands. I wiped my eyes for a proper view of what I was seeing, wondering whether I was seeing something real. He said to me,
"I am JESUS. I came in response to the prayers of believers for you."
Before I knew what, He had carried out an operation on me. The bad leg was removed and the new leg was fixed into my body. I did not feel the slightest pain. Praise the Lord! This was done in the shortest time.
The Forces of Darkness Against Me
Jesus asked me, "Do you know the forces of darkness contending against you?"
I said, "No, I don't." He said,
"Look at them."
My eyes got opened. I saw some personalities in a dark place, as if in a hall. Their leader stood up and said,
"That their pastor we must deal with him. The entire church is taking a new move towards holiness. We must make sure we win this battle."
They all shouted, "Yea, we must win!" He continued,
"We must make sure we kill this boy and stop him from making all that noise he is making. We must silence this boy."
Ephesians 6:12. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
The Authority of the Name of Jesus
Then Jesus asked me, "Do you know the authority of My name? Mention it and see what will happen."
Since I had recovered, I sat down and prepared myself properly to mention that name. I shouted "JESUS!" When I mentioned the name of Jesus, there was an immediate reaction. In fact it was like a bomb was thrown into their midst. Smoke covered the place where they were gathered. They scattered and fled. Then Jesus said,
"That is the authority and power of my name."
Philippians 2:9-11. "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Further Heavenly Revelation Given to Me by Jesus
After this Jesus said, "Believers are sleeping. The trumpet would have sounded, except that I pleaded with My Father. This is because many people are going to hell. Believers are careless about their lives."
Jesus told me this in tears,
"Even workers are going about without doing restitution. I have made up My mind from the ages that no sin will enter heaven.
Matthew 5:23-24. "Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Jesus continued, "My coming is at hand. I don't know when I shall come. It may be soon, I don't know. But if you don't see Me appear today, then it may be tomorrow. Live with the expectation of My appearing daily. Be careful with your life. Never allow sin into your life. Live as a Christian. Don't live like others, live as a Christian. Others may be saying other things, but know surely that without holiness no man shall see the Lord."
Mark 13:32-37. "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you, I say unto all, watch."
Jesus again said, "I will show you once again what is happening."
All of a sudden my eyes opened and I saw two angels with books before them. In their front I saw a line of believers who had died on earth and were awaiting the final word from the angels. Jesus said,
"Hear this very well."
1. A Believer was Denied Heaven on Account of Malice
The first person came before the angels. One of the angels shook his head when he opened the book of record. This man's record showed that he kept malice in his heart against someone. The angels told him he was living in malice and for that reason he would not enter heaven.
1 John 3:15. "Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him."
2. A Believer With Clean Records Entered Heaven With Great Joy
The second person came before the angels. The angels smiled and told him his record was clean and that he was free to enter into heaven. This man jumped through the pearly gate with great joy. Others who were still on the line behind him were shivering in fear.
2 Peter 1:5-11. "And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall never be barren or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."
3. A Believer Was Denied Heaven on Account of Fornication
The third person came before the angel. When he looked at his record he frowned at him and shook his head. This man's record showed that he was living in fornication. He could not enter heaven.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10. "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
4. Another Believer was Denied Heaven on Account of Fornication
The fourth person came before the angel. His record showed that he was living in fornication. He could not enter heaven.
5. A Believer Was Denied Heaven on Account of Divorce and Remarriage
The fifth man divorced his wife and married another woman. When he came before the angel he told him that in heaven they knew him as an adulterer and that no adulterer can enter heaven.
Mark 10:11-12. "And He said unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery."
Romans 7:2-3. "For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man."
1 Corinthians 7:10-11. "And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife."
6. A Believer Was Denied Heaven on Account of Lying
The sixth person came before the angels. One of the angels looked through his record and told him that he was a liar and that no liar can enter heaven.
Revelation 21:8. "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
7. A Believer Was Denied Heaven Because He Willfully Refused to do Restitution
The seventh person came before the angels. One of the angels looked through the book of record and told him that there was a restitution he was supposed to do when he was alive on earth. But since he deliberately refused to do it, he could not enter heaven.
Jesus told me that the names of backsliders are being removed from the book of life and replaced with the names of new converts. He said many ministers and believers would be taken by surprise because of spiritual sleep and carelessness.
Jesus said, "You have seen all these things because I love this generation. The devil prefers you to die than live. But I will be with you and stand by you. Remember John 16:33: `These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.' "
HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR.
Luke 19:8-10. "And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, for as much as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."
Luke 21:34-36. "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."
Ch 5 - My Defense
Since Jesus gave me these revelations I have been faithfully testifying them to people. I have faced many challenges and oppositions. However, I must confess with apostle Paul here:
Acts 20:24. "But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God."
I believe the Lord has raised me up for the defence and confirmation of the truth of the gospel of the Lord Jesus in these last days.
Paul the apostle said, Galatians 1:11-12, 15-16. "11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by His grace, To reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood."
I believe that by these revelations given to me, God wants to quicken His truth to many and cause people to see how highly holiness is required for entry into heaven. The message the Lord has given me is not for a denomination. It is His message for all men in the world and for the whole church, the body of Christ.
My Disciplined Life
My parents raised us up in good parental discipline. We were spank for our delinquencies. That made me to develop a disciplined life. When I gave my life to Christ I was committed and disciplined. I was a member of the choir in the church I belonged to. If we were taught a new song during the choir practice and I did not sing it well, I would not sleep until I had mastered that song. My commitment to the word of God is in the same spirit. I determined to seek the face of God for a revival in my life and in the church.
I believe in answer to my prayers and yearning, the Lord gave me these revelations. But some people in my denominational church are skeptical, some of which are ministers. I told God, "Lord, I did not call myself into this ministry; be with me." God has been faithfully backing me up and encouraging me. I am sure Jesus Christ took me to the two ends of eternity, heaven and hell, to see truths which are clearly written in the scriptures but are not understood by many, so that by my testimony they may see these truths and understand them clearly.
Personal Experience of Sanctification
When I joined Deeper Life Bible Church newly, I did not believe the sanctification and holiness doctrine they preach. Someone in the Church said to me, "Why not verify these things?" I decided to verify them. I bought so many Christian literatures and commentaries. I bought many books by John Wesley; all to ascertain the doctrine of Sanctification and Holiness.
Anywhere I saw a book on holiness I bought it. I study a lot. I studied the scriptures to understand Sanctification and Holiness. I studied to understand the original Greek words that were translated to the English words `sanctify'; `sanctification'; `sanctified'; `holiness'; `purity'. Then I understood that Sanctification has more than one meaning in scriptural usage.
Firstly, it means consecration or dedication unto God or holy uses. Secondly, Sanctification is a definite Christian experience whereby a believer's heart is circumcised, cleansed or purified of sinful nature, otherwise called inbred sin, adamic nature, the old man, the inward corruption. The believer by sanctification is rendered increasingly holy and is enabled to serve God without blemish in Holiness and Righteousness; Ephesians 5:25-27; 1Thessalonians 4:3-8; 5:22-24; Psalm 51:5-10; Hebrews 13:12,13,20,21; Acts 26:18.
I knelt down and sought the face of God for this experience. I saw as if a knife passed through my heart. My heart became clean and pure. Take time to verify the truth on Sanctification and Holiness for yourself. I believe the Lord will give you a clear conviction as He gave to me.
The Problem of False Teachers in Christ's Church
Many people have not understood what it takes to be a real Christian. To some to be a Christian is to be baptized with water. To others it is to change church. I asked someone somewhere whether he was born again. He told me he was. What he meant was that he had been baptized with water. Many people profess to be Christians but are sinners. The Scripture rightly says,
"They profess that they know God; but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good works reprobate." Titus 1:16
Many are blinded by the spirit of the last days. There are people who have replaced cardinal doctrines of the Scripture with lies, yet obedience to these doctrines is essential for heaven.
1 Timothy 4:15-16. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee."
What shall the end be for those who have replaced the truth with lies? Some teach that if you are baptized with water you are born again. Unlearned and ignorant preachers wrest the word of God, twist and dilute it until it has no more effect on those that hear it. There are prosperity preachers who replace God with His blessings. They teach and stir people to receive the blessings of God, but have nothing to tell them on how to please God and conform to the image of Christ.
Because of material blessings, preachers prohibit their members from going to where they will learn the truth about God. They do not want them to listen to true preachers for fear that they may escape from their hands. Some Theologians met me and asked, "Do you believe that this Holiness is true and possible? Theology makes us understand that man cannot live above sin." That is their theology. But what saith the Scripture?
Luke 1:74-75. "That He would grant unto us, that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, In Holiness and Righteousness before Him, all the days of our life."
1 Peter 1:14-16. "As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy."
2 Corinthians 5:17. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
1 John 3:9. "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."
Christ imparts the Holiness of God into the believer and enables him to live in the new way of life. You cannot remain in sin if you are born again. A child of God does not lie, lust, steal, commit immorality. Eternal life, the life of God in him, is a life of holiness and righteousness. Many people have spotted the garment of righteousness given to them. Their garment is now spotted with worldliness, false doctrines, greed, pride etc. The Psalmist said,
"I have chosen the way of truth."Psalm 119:30
This means there is the way of error or falsehood. It takes determination in our day as ever to choose the way of Truth, Righteousness and Holiness. Many churches today are founded on distorted scriptures. Through false interpretations of scriptures, their preachers and teachers replace Christ's truths with lies, to their destruction and the destruction of those that hear them. Except they repent and return to the truth they are on their way to eternal damnation, as declared by apostle Peter:
2 Peter 3:15-18. "And account that the long suffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen."
If in the days of apostle Peter there were false preachers, how much more in our day? We must be warned against false doctrines and false teachers. God who is not willing that any one should perish, but that all should come unto the knowledge of the truth, has shined on His truths in the Bible, by the revelations given to me. These revelations do not contradict the scriptures; rather the scriptures confirm them to be of God. I have read through the Bible two times. A minister called me one day and warned me not to share these revelations with people. "You should preach the Bible," he said. I listened to him quietly. But I was actually laughing within me because the revelations I received were of the Holy Spirit. Jesus told me to testify them to men. Man cannot command me to stop speaking of them.
"But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard." Acts 4:19,20
"Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." Acts 5:29
God has been opening doors for me to give the testimony of these revelations to people. Jesus Christ told me in heaven that people would oppose these revelations, but that I should stand firm. I have made up my mind to stand by these revelations even to death. However, I shall not die young. I shall live to declare the truth of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Understanding Prophesy
Let us learn something about prophecy.
1 Corinthians 14:3. "But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort."
The Scripture is called, "A more sure word of prophecy." 2 Peter 1:19.
It fulfils the above three characteristics: edification, exhortation and comfort. The Spirit of God gives prophetic revelations to men. When these are uttered they equally edify, exhort and comfort the body of Christ. Through these prophetic revelations believers are made to see into the mind of God and to receive correct understanding of some scriptural truths. Through the revelations of hell fire given by the Holy Spirit believers and sinners are warned of the danger of sin and unbelief. "Surely, It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." Hebrews10:31
Prophetic revelations of heaven, the reward of righteous-ness, bring comfort to the believers. The believers are assured of the promises of God and are strengthened in their Christian life and service by the visions of heaven given to some contemporary believers by the Holy Spirit. When the Lord gives such edifying revelations we are to "Comfort one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 4:18
1 Thessalonians 5:16-22. "Rejoice ever more. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearances of evil."
We should not despise prophesying because it is still one of God's ways of speaking to individual believers, the local church, the body of Christ and the entire humanity. To despise the revelations given by God is to quench the move of the Holy Spirit in the church and in the world.
When the Lord gives a spiritual revelation concerning an individual, a local church, the body of Christ or men in general, such should be proved by the truth and teaching of the Scripture. If the Scripture confirms the revelation to be of God, it should be received with thanksgiving and joy. We are commanded to hold fast that which is good. Never speak evil or take any evil step against the revelations of the Holy Spirit. Visions and revelations are still part of the ways God ministers to the edification of the body of Christ and saves the souls of lost men in the world.
Can I Depend On You, My Son?
My father and mother are real Christians. When I shared these revelations with our local Church, my mother came up publicly and testified of the insight she had received. She said, "I used to take God for granted before; but now I see things clearly." I wept that day for her testimony. I gave my life to Christ when I was 13 years old. I grew with my parents who were faithful members of a Pentecostal church. It was far later that they became members of Deeper Life Bible church. My father is a coordinator in the church. I am a disciplined believer. I do spend much time before God in fasting and prayer.
The appearance of Jesus Christ to me was not in secret but publicly. It was during the National Easter Retreat of Deeper Life Bible church in Takum Region, Taraba state, Nigeria. Over 2000 participants attended the Retreat: adults, youths and children. All were fully aware of what went on with me. They can testify of my Christian life and of the divine visitation I received during the Retreat.
As the Lord opens doors for me to share these revelations with people, there are those who receive them with open heart, having proved them to be God's word. They spread them far and near, not minding the cost. Such know that they are doing the will of God. They see it as the message the hardened, skeptical world, the lukewarm church and the persecuted church need now for their salvation, revival and comfort.
But there are those who are skeptical and would want to resist the spread of these revelations. They would want to discourage me so that I may not continue. Such I would advise to be sober and to see things in the light of Scripture. Jesus had foreseen their acts and the cross I would carry for this assignment when He asked me in heaven in tears,
"My son Brother Mike, many to whom I gave like revelations and commission disappointed me. Can I depend on you?"
God will surely depend on me. Amen. Some years ago, the Lord gave me a promise that He would use my voice all round the world for His glory. I did not understand what He meant. However, I wrote the promise down and it was forgotten. Recently I went through my diary and discovered that promise to my great surprise. Today the cassettes of these revelations have gone to many places according to the will of God. The Lord shall send them to the furthest ends of the world in Jesus name. Amen. The Lord wants the standard of His word to be kept. Jude exhorts:
Jude 3. "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once given unto the saints."
My conviction is that a man must be born again before he can be called a Christian. Water baptism is for those who are born again. A believer needs sanctification of his heart. Baptism with the Holy Spirit is an experience separate from salvation and sanctification and is God's promise for all believers for effective service. Holiness of life is a must for entry into heaven. My outward appearance is devoid of worldliness. I live holily, justly and unblameable before God and in the sight of men. God gives me the grace for this.
God Confirms These Revelations By Scriptural Signs
Matthew 11:2-6. "Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, And said unto Him, Art thou He that should come, or do we look for another? Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me."
Jesus here gave the signs that proved that He was the Messiah and His message was from God. God usually manifests clear signs to confirm that these revelations which I share everywhere are from Him. Hardened and hidden sinners and backsliders repent in dust and ashes when they hear my testimony. Believers press forward for sanctification of their hearts. People carry out restitutions to make right their ways with God and men. Believers become fervent in spirit and holy in character. God baptizes his saints with the Holy Spirit.
People receive miracle healing and deliverance by the power of God. A woman who had been barren for 10 years came to me for counseling. After a simple prayer for her, she wrote me later that she had conceived. A woman who had practiced witchcraft for three years and had killed her four children, repented in dust and ashes and became delivered and converted. Many other signs have been given by God to justify these things. What is my aim in defending these revelations? My aim is to glorify Jesus and make people believe in Him and serve God in Holiness and Righteousness:
"But these things are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life through His name."John 20:31
For those who remain hardened in unbelief and have rejected this heavenly experience and the message it conveys to man,
John 8:42-47. "Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love Me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but He sent Me. Why do ye not understand My speech? Even because ye cannot hear My word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe Me not. Which of you convinceth Me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe Me? He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God."
"If I do not the works of My Father, believe Me not. But if I do, though ye believe not Me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in Me, and I in Him."
Anyone who soberly listens to or reads through these divine revelations given to me will believe that God gave them. As for me I pledge commitment to the gospel of Christ and to the commission He has given to me.
My Commitment to Christ's Commission
I came across the commitment of an African Pastor. I produced and pasted it by my bedside. It is equally my commitment.
"I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secured. I am finished and done with low living, sight-walking, small planning, smooth knees, colourless dreams, tamed vision, mundane talking, cheap living and dwarf goals.
I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotion, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have time to be first, top, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, live by prayer, and labour by power.
My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way rough, my companions few, my guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up, for the course of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus.
I must go until He comes, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me — my banner will be clear! Amen."
Ch 6 - Scriptural Insights
Let us examine the Scripture on important issues of eternal consequence.
A. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, and The Life
John 14:6. "Jesus said unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, But by Me."
Acts 4:12. "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven giving among men, whereby we must be saved."
1 John 5:11-13. "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God."
The Bible reveals clearly that the Godhead is made up of three separate Persons, each distinct from the other. The first is called God the Father, the second is God the Son and the third is God the Holy Spirit. These three separate Persons make up the one God that we serve. Each one of these three Persons is God in all fullness. No one is greater than the others. The three Persons are united in one and there can be no separation. Each one of these three is the Creator, the Lord, and the eternal God. Yet we do not have three Creators, Lords, or eternal Gods, but One. The Scripture says:
"And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear O Israel; The Lord our God is One Lord."Mark 12:29
God the Son came to the world in human form. His name was called Jesus Christ. He came to save mankind from sin and to restore man to eternal life with God.
John 1:1-3,10,14. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew him not. 14 And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth."
Matthew 1:21-23. "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."
Your eyes now have opened clearly to the One that suffered because of your sins, the One that was crucified on the cross, that died, was buried and rose from death on the third day; the One that gave the commission that the gospel be preached in all the world to make people believe on Him for the forgiveness of their sins and the salvation of their souls; the One that went back to heaven and promised that He would be coming back to the world to take His true believers to be with Him and to condemn rebellious sinners to everlasting hell fire, prepared for Satan and his angels. Your eyes have opened clearly to who JESUS is — our Lord and our God.
John 20:27-29. "Then said He to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold My hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into My side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Lord and my God. Jesus said unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
There is no Salvation in any Other Religion or Belief
All those who seek the salvation of their souls through other religions or persons (saints, prophets, masters, etc.) can never find true salvation and can never enter into heaven.
John 10:8-11. "Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thieve cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good Shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep."
To reject Jesus is to reject the God of your life. To reject Jesus means you have chosen to go to hell and be damned forever along with Satan and his subjects.
Special Adoration or Worship of Any Saint is Idolatry
There are those who exalt, adore and worship Mary the earthly mother of Jesus. They pray to her or through her. They also adore some dead saints and pray to them or through them. The Bible has this to say of such people:
Romans 1:20-22,25,28. "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 28 And even as they do not want to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient."
Those who give special adoration to Mary or worship her, who pray to Mary or through her or pray to or through any other person, dead or alive, should know that they are not Christians but idol worshippers and have no place in the kingdom of God. Mary is a creature of God as all of us are. She was chosen by God for the service of giving birth to Jesus in the same way as God chose Abraham to be the father of faith, Moses' mother to give birth to Israel's redeemer from Egypt, David to be the king of Israel and established his kingdom over Israel for ever. None of these receive special honour and worship. God's choice of men for special function continues to this day. He chooses men to carry out specific functions according to His divine purpose. JESUS, the Creator of heaven and earth, when on earth, was the Son of Mary in the ordinary sense as He was the Son of David.
The Lord is the Saviour of all men. Mary acknowledged that the Lord is her Saviour.
Luke 1:46,47. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour."
Mary is in heaven now not because she was the mother of Jesus, but because she believed that Jesus was the Son of God and was saved from her sins through faith in Christ as every other saint now in heaven. Only God should receive special adoration and worship and not His creatures.
Acts 10:25-26. "And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man."
Acts 14:11-15. "And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein."
Revelation 22:8-9. "And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then said he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the saying of this book: worship God."
If Mary should come alive on earth today, she would reprove those who give her special adoration and worship. But, alas, Satan has filled a whole Christian denomination with satanic signs and wonders to convince them that Mary hears and answers prayers and accepts their worship, to their eternal regret in the flames of hell. Let no man deceive and destroy you with teachings that are based on human traditions and not on the holy Scripture. Save your eternal soul by repenting of your sins and accepting Jesus only as your Lord and Saviour. Withdraw yourself from Mary's and saint's adoration or worship.
Leviticus 26:1. "Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God."
Isaiah 42:8. "I am the LORD: that is My name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images."
1 John 5:21. "Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen."
B. The Salvation of Your Soul From Sin and Hell
The way of salvation from sin and hell fire is clearly revealed in Scripture. If you follow the path of salvation shown in the Scripture, you will surely be saved. God has never predestined you to eternal damnation. He is merciful to you. Do the following for your salvation from sin and hell fire:
Firstly, accept the fact that you have sinned against God through disobeying His commandments. You have done many evil things against God, against yourself and your fellow men. By virtue of your sins and wicked deeds, which may be many or few, you are justly condemned by God and are in the number of those doomed for everlasting destruction in hell fire.
Galatians 5:19-21. "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
Psalm 51:3-4. "For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest."
Secondly, God is a merciful God who freely forgives the sins of those that repent and seek His forgiveness. Confess your sins to Him, repent of them and plead with Him to forgive you.
Isaiah 55:7. "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon."
Psalm 51:1-2. "Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitudes of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin."
Thirdly, Jesus Christ is the Saviour from sin. You cannot stop sinning by your power without Him. Welcome Him into your life to give you the power to overcome sin. When Jesus comes into your life He will save you from sin and give you the power of righteousness. Jesus is the universal Saviour from sin. Apart from Him there is no other one and no other way.
Acts 16:30-31. "And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
John 1:12. "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name."
2 Corinthians 5:17. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
Fourthly, when you give your life to Jesus Christ your sins are forgiven and you have a new life from God. Your name enters into the book of life in heaven. Surely, you will not want to start committing new sins and to get your name removed from the book of life. You must determine to continue in Christ by living a righteous life every day to the end of your life on earth. Make sure you have a good Bible. Study your Bible regularly and pray always to God for His grace to live the Christian life. Obey God's word in every area of your life. The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth, obey Him. Do not be afraid of man and be not ashamed of following Jesus. Dissociate from evil friends, relationships and associations.
1 John 3:9-10. "Whosoever is born of God doth no commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother."
Colossians 2:6-8. "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him. Rooted and built up in Him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."
Water Baptism
Having given your life to Jesus Christ, you will need to submit yourself to water baptism. Water baptism follows repentance and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 8:35-39. "Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing."
The scriptural water baptism is one immersion into water in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 28:19. "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
Water baptism is not for ignorant and unconverted children, nor for unrepentant adult. Those who were baptized when they were still sinners need to be baptized when they truly repent and give their lives to Jesus Christ. The apostles practiced water baptism according to the instruction given to them by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 2:38. "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ as seen in the above passage and in other passages in Acts of the Apostles means baptism as instructed or authorised by Jesus Christ.
Baptism With the Holy Ghost
Baptism with the Holy Ghost or the gift of the Holy Ghost is the coming of the Holy Spirit upon a believer in baptismal measure for the purpose of filling him with power for effective Christian service. All believers are promised the baptism with the Holy Spirit by God. This is received by prayer and faith on God's promises.
Acts 1:8. "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
Chapter 4: The Gospel Simply Explained
by Mike Peralta
If you were to die today, would you be certain that you would go to heaven?
If you are not certain, then please read on.
Many think that since they have lived a good life then they will probably go to heaven.
It's good to do good deeds and God wants that, but your good deeds cannot make up for your sins. It's like a bank robber that gets caught and tells the police that he gives to the poor and helps people. That does not make up for the fact that he robbed the bank.
God wants everyone to go to heaven and be with Him. That is why He sent Jesus to die on the cross for us.
In John 3:16 it says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.”
The word perish here means the opposite of eternal life -- which is eternal death or Hell. God gives us His instructions in the bible to lead us to Him so that we can receive salvation. He does this because He loves us and wants everyone to be in heaven with Him when they die.
In Romans 3:23 it says,
“For all have sinned; and fall short of God's glorious standard.”
What this means is that all of us have sinned. We have all done wrong and do not deserve to be in God's glorious presence. None of us deserve to go to heaven. I don't deserve to go, you don't deserve to go. None of us deserve to go to heaven. We have all disobeyed God in our lives.
In Romans 6:23 it says,
“For the wages of sin is DEATH, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Here “the wages of sin” means the “consequence of sin” or what we earn by sinning.
And the type of death being described here is spiritual death -- which is Hell -- as explained in the Bible in the book of Revelations where it states “The lake of fire is the second DEATH. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:14-15.
So these last 3 scriptures are very serious because they are saying that:
1. We Have All Sinned,
2. The Consequence Of Sin Is Death, and
3. Death Is The Lake of Fire or Hell.
What this means is that we are all destined to go to Hell -- unless we allow God to intervene in our life.
But God does not want anyone to go to Hell. That is why He sent Jesus to die for all our sins on the cross.
And it is only through Jesus that we can receive eternal life. In John 14:6 Jesus said,
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one can come to the Father except through Me.”
We can only be saved through Jesus. There is no other way. The only payment that the Father accepts for our sins is the blood of Jesus. That is why He sent Jesus to die for our sins. He did it because He loves us. It is not because we deserve it -- because none of us deserve to go to heaven.
Now it is only the children of God that get to be with God when they die. In John 1:12 God the Father, shows us how to become His child. He tells us,
“But to all who believed in Him, that is Jesus, and received Him, He gave the right to become children of God.”
And believing in Christ not only means that you believe that He exists, it also means that you put your full trust and obedience in Him. That is what is meant by believing in Him as Lord.
The word “Lord” means “King” or “Master” -- the One you trust and obey. In Romans 10:9 it says,
“If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
The word “confess” means “to agree with.” So to truly confess that Jesus is Lord means that He is your Lord - the One you surrender to and trust and obey.
Now you receive Christ through faith and not by “earning it” with good deeds. It says in Ephesians 2:8-9 that,
“For it is by grace (or undeserved favor) that you are saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so, none of us can brag about it.”
You don't earn salvation -- you receive it as a free gift from God. It is like receiving a Christmas gift. You don't pay for the Christmas gift. But you do decide whether you will receive it or not.
The price of your salvation was paid for by Jesus on the cross. And the cost to Jesus was very terrible. It is way beyond what I can comprehend. Jesus suffered terribly for us so that we all could go to heaven. The one thing left for you to do, is to receive the salvation Jesus paid for as a free gift from God.
Although Jesus wants very much to give eternal life to everyone, He will not force anyone to receive Him as Lord. He gives everyone a free will choice. But He does invite everyone who wants to, to receive Him and receive eternal life.
In Revelation 3:20 Jesus says,
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will go in and eat with him, and he with Me.”
So we all have a choice to make. We can live a self-directed life -- separate from God -- or a Christ directed life with God.
In a self-directed life you go your own way without God. But the choice is forever. If you die in that state you will forever be separated from God and perish in Hell. In Luke 13:3 Jesus warns us that “unless you repent, you too will all perish.” God does not desire this for anyone but God will not force anyone to receive Him.
In a Christ-directed life, you surrender completely to Christ and give your life to Him. God created us and He died on the cross for us. He loves us dearly. In reality, God gives us infinitely more than what we could ever give Him.
If you do give your life to Jesus then Jesus promises you eternal life as He says in John 6:40, which says,
“For My Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes, that is trusts, in Him shall have eternal life.”
By receiving Jesus as Lord of your life you at the same time repent from going your own way -- which is always away from God.
In fact, the word “repent” means to turn around. To make a U-turn. To change from going your own way, to going God's way by following Him. Repent also means to turn away from sin. By following Jesus you also turn away from sin.
As you receive Jesus and give your life to Him, you also ask for His forgiveness and reject all pursuit of sin.
If you have walked away from the Lord or have gone back to sinning and now want to repent of sin and come back to Jesus, you can also pray as shown below.
The prayer is shown below. Do you want to pray this prayer to God? It is not to me, or to my church, or to my denomination. It is a prayer you are making to God. It is a decision you are making to God -- Who created you and loves you.
Would you like to pray this prayer to commit your life to Jesus? Say each line to God as follows:
Prayer to Receive Jesus As Lord:
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and unable to save myself by my own deeds or my own way. But I do believe that You love me, and that You were sent to die on the cross for my sins. Right here and now, I repent of all sin and ask you to forgive all my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I completely give my life to You, Jesus. Thank You, dear God, for hearing and answering my prayer, and for giving me eternal life as You promised You would. Amen.”
When you prayed this did you mean it? If you did then by God's promise you now have eternal life. Because it says in 1 John 5:13,
"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life."
If you were to die today you would go to heaven to be with God. We know this because God always keeps His word.
Get a bible and start reading it in the New Testament. Join a good biblebelieving church.
If You Did Not Pray To Receive Jesus.
Do you believe Jesus loves you? Do you believe Jesus died on the cross for your sins? Is there sin that you want to continue in? You do realize, that a decision to stay in sin is a decision to stay away from Jesus?
You do realize, that if you die separated from Jesus then you will end up in Hell when you die? This is something Jesus warns us about. Because He loves you and does not want you to go to Hell when you die.
God would never do anything to harm you. Harm comes when you stay separated from God. But God only wants to give you eternal life. Sometimes sacrifice is involved in following Jesus -- but it is always for your own good or the good of others.
I urge you not to put off giving your life to Jesus. None of us are guaranteed that we will live even one more day. It says in Hebrews chapter 3:
“So, as the Holy Spirit says 'Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion .. So I declared on oath in My anger, 'They shall never enter My rest.' ”.. So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.” Hebrews 3:7-19.
This last scripture are the words of the Holy Spirit who helps us come to Jesus. God loves you very much and really wants to give you eternal life.
Please consider what God is saying in the bible, about how to receive eternal life. It is the most important decision not just of your life but of your entire existence. Ultimately you will exist forever – either in heaven or Hell.
AFTERWORD
Really mean business with God by repenting of all sins and rededicating your life to Jesus. It is extremely important to always repent quickly, forgive quickly, and to believe everything God says in His Word - The Bible.
I myself review my life daily to see where I have sinned and to repent, ask forgiveness, and to get God's forgiveness and help to avoid sin in the future.
Remember if you are not ready you will be left behind when Jesus comes to rapture His holy saints. Or if you die you will go to Hell – if you are not ready and with your robes washed clean by the Blood of Jesus.
Nothing else in this life is more important.
Keep praying to Jesus to clean you up. Jesus will show you, step by step, the sins to repent of. Do not doubt the voice of the Holy Spirit. Believe Him, Obey Him, Keep Seeking Him every day to show you how to clean your robes. He is the only one who can help you get clean and stay clean.
And absolutely and vigilantly do NOT compare yourself with others. That is pride and will lead you to fall. Be humble and pray and love others who you see are bound in sins. Always remember, that you yourself need and depend on God’s grace every day.
Other Personal Testimonies About Hell
The Bible both Old and New Testament. The best book as God never lies and He is never mistaken.
Hell Testimonies by Mike Peralta. This is a compilation of several Hell Testimonies from several people around the world. In my opinion this is the best book, after the Bible, (not because I’m the author) but because it mentions many types of sins that will send you to Hell. Some of the sins mentioned will probably hit home to you as you read this book. This book has helped me truly repent of sin more than any other book.
While Out Of My Body I Saw God, Hell, and the Living Dead by Dr. Roger Mills. This is a superb book about Hell. Jesus explains some things about Hell and sin that I have never read anywhere else. However, as far as I can see, it is all consistent with what the bible says.
A Divine Revelation of Hell by Mary Kathryn Baxter. This book shows in graphic detail what torment people in Hell are suffering. This book has been read by many and has helped many repent from their sins and obey God in their lives.
Heaven Is So Real by Choo Thomas. This book discusses both Heaven and Hell and reveals a great deal about the love and personality that Jesus has to His children as evidenced by how Jesus interacts with Choo Thomas. With a tenderness and friendly and loving and compassionate heart, you will learn the character and demeanor of Jesus through this book.
Backsliding to Hell by Mike Peralta. This book is written to help the backslider or those who are sinning after receiving Jesus in the past. It clearly explains through the Bible that the backslider will definitely go to Hell unless he or she repents of their sinning and turns back to Jesus. At first, to avoid promoting myself, I was not going to include this in my list of life changing books (truth2.weebly.com) but the Holy Spirit insisted that I include this book, so it must be even more important than I, myself, realize.
Rapture and Tribulation books by Susan Davis: Bride of Christ Prepare Now, Left Behind After The Rapture, Rapture or Tribulation, Marriage Supper of the Lamb, I Am Coming (Volumes 1 to 6) by Susan Davis and Sabrina De Muynck. These rapture books are prophetic messages from Jesus to help prepare the Bride of Christ (Christ’s true church) on how to prepare for the very soon rapture. It clearly shows that those who are not ready and are not looking to Jesus’ soon coming will be left behind to face the anti-christ and certain death at the hands of the most ruthless evil dictator that will take power and world domination after the rapture. Also near the time of the rapture there will many deaths and those who are not ready will end up in Hell.
Final Call, Exodus, My Son David, True Maturity by Deborah Melissa Moller (Four Book Series). This four part series (combined in one book) has helped me more than any other book to get close to Jesus and obey God’s will. It is like Jesus is personally teaching me how to follow Him, obey Him, love Him, and to do the Father’s will. This is an extremely valuable book. It is truly a “Pearl of Great Price.” It is provided by Jesus to prepare His Bride for the very soon rapture.

I urge you to read all these books – especially the Bible – over and over again. There is extremely little time left to get right with God. Jesus is returning much sooner than you think and there is soon to be terrible judgments on earth.
Surrender your life completely to Jesus now.
It is extremely and eternally dangerous to delay your full and absolute commitment to Christ. It doesn’t matter what anyone else tells you – they cannot help you when you end up in Hell. Trust only God. Of course, love and pray for everyone – but trust only God.
Seek Him with all your being now before it’s too late.
