Catherine Hughes' Second Encounter in Heaven

I would like to share with you the testimony of sister Catherine Hughes, one of our students in England, who is currently in her second year of our three-year Doulos Training School. I previously wrote about Catherine's first encounter in heaven in 1971, when she was seventeen years old, when she committed suicide and was confirmed clinically dead by the doctor for twenty minutes. Her second encounter in heaven, which I am writing about today, occurred later in life during a time of grief that she was experiencing. Here is her testimony:

Testimony of Catherine Hughes

"When my aunty Kathleen died at age 92, I was grieving for her. She had been a born again Christian from the time she was a teenager. While she was alive, I was always spending time with her, doing Bible studies and praying together, and she had told me I was like a daughter to her. 

One night while I was still grieving her death, Jesus took me to heaven again and showed me my aunt. She was a young girl with long, dark hair, dancing with other young people in a garden and singing praise songs. She looked so happy. There were no old people.

Then he showed me some massive, mansion houses made of marble, which had precious stones in them.

Then he showed me Almighty God the Father on his gold throne from a great distance. I didn't realize how massive God is. I could see millions of angels, the twenty-four elders, and the four living creatures around the throne, worshiping God. One of the four living creatures had a man's face, one had an ox's face, one had a lion's face, and one had an eagle's face; they had wings, and they were covered with eyes. There is so much peace and love around them. They are really big and awesome, even a bit intimidating, and you can feel the power of God coming from them. 

The four living creatures were worshiping God all the time, saying, “Hallelujah! Praise God!” And the twenty four elders put their crowns down so many times and bowed down to God. The angels were singing all the time. It was just absolutely awesome.

Around the throne, I saw part of a rainbow with a green glow, and it was really bright. I could feel the light coming from Him. I couldn't see the Father's face, as there was a cloud around Him. I could only see the bottom of his robe and his feet. There was so much light that it was not clear enough to see much more detail. I also saw Jesus seated at His right side.

The angels and twenty-four elders started to dance together. And the Almighty Father God danced with the fingers of His right hand, as He was so big. His hand was about the height of an angel. Jesus told me that every time a soul gets saved, the company of heaven dances with great joy. 

Then the Lord showed me an enormous library, and He said, “Everybody has got a book of life in this library.” 

He also showed me a massive warehouse with human body parts. And our Lord said He was sad, as angels would take body parts to replace organs or limbs of people praying for healing; but not enough people had enough faith to believe to receive their body parts and complete healing. 

I saw clear rivers with what looked like sparkling diamonds at the bottom of them, as well as gold glass pavements, beautiful flowers, and gardens.

Then Jesus brought me back to my bedroom."  

END OF CATHERINE HUGHES' TESTIMONY

------------------

One of the reasons the Lord gave this experience was so that you would know heaven is real. You belong there, but you need to prepare yourself to go there. This place is not just for Catherine and her aunt, but for all who will believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. He wants you to go there, too. He does not want you to perish but have everlasting life.

The way you prepare yourself for heaven is first to repent of all your sins, stop doing the things of the world, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ that He died for your sins to pay the price and set you free; and believe that God raised Him from the dead on the third day. Surrender your whole life to Him. Ask Him to come and live inside your heart and be your Lord and Savior. Make a commitment to follow and serve Him all the days of your life. Ask Him to baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Then turn from iniquity and live a righteous, holy life for Him. Soon He will come back for all His saints and take us up to be with Him forever in heaven. 

I hope this has helped to remind you of the reality of heaven and our need to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior if we want to make it to that glorious place.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe. 

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

Teen Dies, Enters Heaven, Meets Jesus -- Catherine's Testimony

I would like to share with you the testimony of sister Catherine Hughes, one of our students in England, who is currently in her second year of our three-year Doulos Training School. This is about her first encounter in heaven in 1971, at the age of seventeen years old, when she committed suicide and was confirmed clinically dead by the doctor for twenty minutes. Here is her testimony: 

Testimony of Catherine Hughes

Good evening, everybody. I'm Catherine Hughes, and I'm here to give you my testimony of miracles that Jesus has done. My story begins at age two, when my parents were traveling down south from Manchester to Southend for a holiday. There was a car accident, and my parents died, but I survived. I was put into a children's home at that time. Then at age four, some foster parents came, who had three sons, and they fostered me. But they didn't have any love at all, and I was abused a lot from ages four to fifteen. 

When I was seven, the next door neighbor sent me and the boys to Sunday School. One day, the Sunday school teacher had told us of many miracles that Jesus had done; and he said, "Throw your hands up, whoever wants to ask Jesus into your heart." So I put my hand up, and everybody else did as well. At age seven, I didn't really know what that meant, and I just believed that one day, maybe I'll meet this wonderful Jesus who does miracles. So that was all I knew to start with. 

Things got worse with my foster family. When I was fourteen, I had a nightmare that I was drowning, and the foster family members were drowning. I thought, "Oh, this is it! I'm going to die!” It was a very horrific nightmare. Then I woke up. It was midnight, and the moon was shining through my window. I sat up in bed, and I pinched myself to make sure I was still alive. I was glad that I was. 

Then I saw a bright light in my bedroom, and I saw a figure. I thought, “Oh, is this an angel? There's no wings, so it’s not an angel.” And then I saw this woman. She had a veil and a blue and white gown. Then I realized, because I'd been to Sunday school, that it was Mary, Jesus' mother. And she said to me, “You are a child of God.” And I thought, “Me, a child of God? I don't feel good enough to be a child of God.” I didn't say anything though, but just smiled. 

Then I heard Jesus' voice, and He said, “Don't be afraid. I'm always with you.” I looked around to the other side of my bedroom, but I couldn't see Jesus. Then when I came around to see Mary, she'd gone. 

I sat up in bed all night, and I just couldn't believe what I had seen -- that Mary had come to see me and had said, “You're a child of God.” And that Jesus had said, “Don't be afraid. I'm always with you.” 

Jesus later told me the reason he brought His mother to see me was because when I was two years old, I was in a children's home, and I'd lost my mother and father. I never knew what it was like to have a real mother and a loving mother, and I always had so much pain. So that is the only reason Jesus sent his mother to see me in a vision, and it had nothing to do with the Catholic Church. Jesus wanted to show His love for His mother, and that was so important to me.  

So I stayed up all night thinking about it. Then at six o'clock I thought, “I've got to go back to school this morning, so I need to go to sleep.” I went back to sleep and I went back into the nightmare again. 

But then there was like a flash, and then I was in heaven with Jesus and his mother. I knew I was in heaven, because I could feel the breeze and smell the flowers, so I knew it was different from a dream.

So Mary His mother took me to a table where the disciples were. Jesus was at the top and there were two empty chairs -- one at the top, one at the bottom of the table. I sat at the bottom, and I said, “This is where I belong.” But Mary said, “No, you don't.” And she told me to meet Jesus, and Jesus said, “This is My body, and this is My blood that I give for you as my sacrifice for you. I want you to do it as often as you can.” Then I woke up. I had come back to my room. 

I went to school, and Sandra my best friend was in the class. I kept falling asleep, so she said, “What's wrong with you? You keep falling asleep.” I said, “I've been awake all night. I saw Mary. I had a vision, and I went to heaven.” She said, “Nonsense! You must have been dreaming.” I said, “No, it's true. All right, let's go to the old church tomorrow (Saturday), and I'll tell you the story again.” She said, “All right then.” 

So we went round the old church, and I told this story again. Then we came across this monk. He held our hands and said, “Girls, you must pray the Lord's Prayer every day. Then you'll go to heaven. You promise?” We were scared of him, so we said, “Yes.” Then we saw him walk away. He said, “Bye, girls. I'll see you in heaven.” And Sandra said, “Did you see that!” I replied, “Yes! He walked through the wall of the church! He's an angel!” Sandra said, “Well, I believe you now.” So I thought, “Great! That's wonderful!” 

After that, I left school, and I went to work in a car firm in the office, where the head lady was going to try me out to be her partner. When my first foster mother heard of this, she wasn't going to have it. So she decided, “After our holiday, I'm going to send you to a working-girls hostel.” 

So anyway, we went on holiday to Minehead, which is down south. There's a big hill right near it. It’s a Butlins Holiday Camp. And one day she said her son was going to get married. She said, “We don't want you there. So here's a green pound note for the day, and we'll see you about five o'clock tonight." They locked their chalet, and I felt quite upset -- rejected again. 

So I walked right towards this big hill, which was miles away from the holiday camp. I walked to the top, and I talked to God all day. When it was getting dark, I came down the hill. When I got to the bottom, there were a lot of trees, and I thought, "I can't see the Holiday Camp, because all the trees are in the way." So I thought, “Well, where do I go? I'm lost!” Suddenly, a Jewish-looking man with a beard came up to me. He said to me, “You are lost aren’t you?" I replied, “Yes. I don't know how to get back to the chalet.” He said, “Well, I've got a Jeep, and I'll take you home.” 

So when we got in the Jeep, he said, "Jesus sent you a vision of his mother to tell you that you are a child of God and Jesus told you not to be afraid, as He is with you always." I said, “Yes! How do you know? The only person I've told was my school friend Sandra.” He told me, “Well, I know all about your first foster parents, because I'm from Heaven.” I thought, “Wow! Must be an angel!” Anyway, he took me home, and I didn't even know the chalet number, but he did.  

My foster mother said, “What time do you call this?!” I said, “I got lost, and your friend Paul took me home.” She said, “We don't have a friend called Paul!” Then I looked around to say goodbye to Paul, but I hadn't heard the Jeep move away. He disappeared!  

I went into my bedroom and read in the Bible, where it says, “You will entertain angels and not know it.” So I thought, “That was another angel! Wow, that's awesome!”  

When it was time for me to go to the working-girls hostel, I got a job at a publishing company. There were four girls from Barstool, who were bullies. They kept threatening me every time I got paid, since they wanted my money, and they used to do séances. So the atmosphere at that workplace was just like my foster mother's home, because there, they did the same thing. 

Then I made friends with Linda, who was also from a foster home, as I was; she wasn't like the others. She suggested to me that we run away, as we were very unhappy in the hostel. I agreed with the idea, and so we did, sneaking out at six o'clock in the morning. We raided the pantry of biscuits, and then got a train to London. After walking around London all day, we went to a pub in the evening and met these Irish guys, who were Catholics. We told them we had run away, and they said, “All right, girls. We'll look after you.” They had a really posh house. They had also told us, “We'll pray for you.” So I kept praying, “Lord, keep us safe,” because I didn't know where we were in such a strange place. 

At seven o'clock in the morning, the police came, and the Irish guys told us, “Sorry, girls. We can't look after you, because we have to go to work. But God will look after you.” So we returned to the hostel, and the police said to us, “Anything could have happened to you girls! It's a miracle that you're both okay.” I replied, “Of course it's a miracle. I’ve been praying all night.” 

After that, they sent Linda away. So the next year I was very depressed, because the girls kept bullying me for money, and the pain of what my foster parents did to me was just horrific. I couldn't stand the pain, and I had nobody to talk to. 

During the summer on the 21st of July 1971, I decided to end my life. It was a Wednesday, six o'clock at tea time. They were all having their tea, except for me. I got a glass of water and two bottles of tablets, went to my bedroom, and opened the window. I sat in the window, and said to God, “If you love me, save me now.” After taking two bottles of tablets with water, I felt dizzy and jumped out the second floor bedroom window. 

Then, next minute I found my spirit by a light bulb on the ceiling of the hospital. When I looked down, I could see they were trying to revive my heart with the electric pads. The monitor was already a straight line, and I shouted, “Don't stop doing that! I can't get back in my body if you stop trying to revive me!”

However, they did stop reviving me, and put the sheet over my face. I was watching them, and the doctor said, “It's a shame…A seventeen year-old has thrown her life away. She must have suffered.” I thought, “Oh, no! I'm sorry, God! I didn't mean to end it all. It was a cry for help.” 

As soon as I said that, everything went black for a minute, and I then found myself going down this tunnel quite fast. I felt safe, and there was a bright light at the end of this tunnel. Then I saw a beautiful garden and paths of clear gold. And I saw angels flying around. I thought, “This must be heaven.” But wow, what a beautiful garden! The colors were so bright, and I could feel the breeze on my face like warm breath and could smell the perfume of roses. It was a beautiful place. I could feel God's love like soft waves coming through. I began to feel so much joy and felt like dancing. There was nothing negative inside of me anymore -- no pain -- but only a very powerful love and a strong feeling of belonging. I felt as if it were my home, like I'd always been there. I also felt a very close, intimate connection, as though God were hugging me the whole time.

Then Jesus came. I knew it was Jesus, because I had seen in Sunday school what He looked like and had also remembered hearing His voice when I was fourteen. Then Jesus held my hands and said, “It's not your time yet. I've got work for you to do, but I can't promise you'll be free from pain.” When I saw the Lord, He conveyed His love like electric waves, and I felt so warm. 

When He spoke, He was very authoritative. I felt like I had to stand at attention, but then also He was like my best friend. 

I thought, “I don't want to go back. I had so much suffering. I really don't want to go back.” But then I thought, “We can't say no to Jesus.” He showed so much love, like I had never known before, and there was so much light and warmth coming from Him. I looked into his eyes and said, “Yes, Lord. Whatever you say, I'll do.” Then the Lord smiled at me. 

The next moment, I went back down this tunnel really fast and came to the light. Then I came back to consciousness. The sheet was over my face and a tag was on my toe. I pulled the sheet off and climbed out of bed, but I fell on the floor, because I didn't know I had broken my left heel. 

The doctor and the nurses looked as though they had seen a ghost. "We'd given you up for dead!" they told me. "You've been dead for twenty minutes. You're in the morgue!” But I replied, “Well, Jesus has just brought me back.” They just couldn't believe it. The doctor said, “Well, I have read about near-death experiences, but usually they're only dead for five or ten minutes, and then they'll come round.” He said, “You've been dead for twenty minutes! It's a miracle!” I replied, “Yes, it is a miracle.” The nurse asked me, “Do you mind if I test your brain? Because you should be brain dead.” I said, “Okay.” I was told, “There's absolutely nothing wrong with you apart from you breaking your foot. Yet you were dead for twenty minutes.” I said, “Yes, well Jesus works miracles.” 

After that, I went back to the hostel for a couple of weeks and traced my Aunt Hilda. Then I went to college and stayed with her and my Uncle Ted. They were loving and caring Christians, and I went to church there. Then I went to a conference with some friends, and the leader was talking about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I said, “Well, a friend had prayed for me for the baptism with Holy Spirit already.” But he told me, “Well, the Lord wants to fill you again.” So I agreed, and he prayed over me for the baptism with the Holy Spirit. I felt a heat and something like electricity going right through me. He said, “Praise the Lord!” And when I praised the Lord, this tongue (or language) came. I thought, “Wow!”  

Then he said, “Now I want you to pray over my thumb.” I asked, “Why? What's wrong with it?” He said, “Well, I was chopping vegetables yesterday, and I cut my thumb right to the bone and had to go to hospital for stitches.” I responded, “Well, I don't know anything about the healing ministry." But he told me, “Well, all you have to do is obey the Lord.” So I said, “Okay. I believe Jesus works miracles. I've read and heard so much about Jesus working miracles.” So I held his thumb and prayed, and this tongue (language) came out of my mouth. And as I prayed, the heat and the tingling in my hands were so strong! When he took the bandage off, the stitches dropped off, and he exclaimed, “Gosh, there's not even a scar!” I said, “Well, Jesus does heal today!” 

Then a lady heard what had happened. She was young with three children. She told me, “I've got cancer of the stomach, and I've only got three months to live. Will you pray over me?” I agreed to do so, and said, “Well, Jesus heals. I don't know anything about healing, but I know Jesus healed." So I prayed over her and prayed in tongues again. Then after a while, she said to me, “I didn't know you spoke Spanish.” I said, “I don't know a word in Spanish. Jesus talked to you in Spanish. So what did He say?” She replied, “He said I've been thinking about being saved, and Jesus said that now's the time for me to ask Him into my heart.” So I said, “Okay, well, ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins, and believe that he died on the cross for your sins, and ask him into your heart now.” So I led her in that prayer, and then I prayed for her healing again and the pain in her stomach completely went away. Then she said, “The pain's gone!” She was completely healed. 

Then the leader said to me, “I want you to go on stage.” I thought, “Me, go on stage? You must be joking.” “No, I'm not joking,” he said, “I want everybody to know.” So I went on stage, and he was waving his thumb and telling about how it had been healed. And I told them about the young lady who had had cancer of the stomach. And there were other miracles as well, which were absolutely amazing. 

Then I went to Birmingham with some friends, because they had some Christian meetings. They worked for Birmingham Bible Institute. And they said to me, "Just go window shopping while we have a meeting.” So I said, “Yeah, okay.” And she added, “By the way, don't talk to strangers.” I said, “Yeah, alright.” I was nineteen by this time. 

So, I walked across the road, and as I was just about to cross over, this posh car drove up and stopped; and the driver said to me, “You can tell me about God.” I thought, “Oh, Lord, I'm not supposed to speak to strangers.” But the Lord said, “You're going to witness him.” So I said, “Lord, am I safe?” He replied, “Oh, yes. Trust me.” So I said, “Okay.” 

We went to his very posh house -- he was very rich. And as I looked around, he said, “You think I've got everything, don't you?” I replied, “Yes, it looks like it. It really does.” But he said, “None of this means anything to me. I'm empty. I'm looking for what you've got. You've got God, and I want what you've got.” I told him, “Well, you'll need to sit down, because it's quite a story.” So I told him the whole story, and he was crying on his knees. I said, “Don't go on your knees. I'm just human like you.” He asked me, “What do I do to get saved?” I responded, “Well, believe that Jesus died on the cross for you, for your sins. He's the Son of God, and if you believe in Him, ask Him to forgive you, ask Him into your heart, and live for Jesus and God the Father, you'll be saved.” So he said, “Well, how do I thank God? And how do I thank you?” But I said, “Oh, don't thank me; thank God. Go to church and ask the leaders to help you serve the Lord.” So he put me back where he found me, and he was so happy. 

When I told my friend, she said, “I told you not to speak to strangers.” But I said, “Well, the Lord had other plans.” So she was amazed. And she said, “Well, God's going to use your story, I believe.” 

So if anybody wants to get saved, all they have to do is pray this prayer, which is to ask Jesus into their heart, and believe that Jesus died in the cross. He's the Son of God, and He died for us all on the cross for our sins, to set us free so that we can serve the Lord and worship Him. So ask Jesus into your heart and say, “Dear Lord Jesus, forgive me for my sins. I believe you died on the cross for me, and I want to serve you and worship you. I want a personal relationship with you, Lord Jesus, the Son of God. And I want to serve you and worship the Father the rest of my life, in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.”

END OF CATHERINE'S TESTIMONY

-------------

Closing Words

What an amazing testimony! Let me just comment regarding the Jewish man named Paul, who met Catherine at the bottom of the hill, told her all about her life, and then disappeared after he dropped her off at the chalet where her parents were staying--even though she didn't know which chalet it was. She told me that the picture to the left most closely resembles him. While it could have been an angel, since the Bible clearly tells us we may encounter angels without being aware of it, it is my belief that this was the apostle Paul. It is just as easy for God to have one of the living saints in glory appear and help us in some way, as it is for Him to send an angel or another earth-dwelling human being. 

When I told Catherine that I and my family all believe it was the apostle Paul, she replied, "Yes I agree with you, I do believe it was St Paul that was sent to me. He had so much love and compassion just as he does in his letters to the churches in the New Testament, and his love and passion for Jesus our Lord is awesome. When I read his letters in the New Testament, it's like I know him in Spirit and I remember my encounter with him."

Why should any of you consider it incredible that God could do this? He is the Sovereign Lord and nothing is too difficult for Him. Just as Moses and Elijah appeared talking with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1–8, Mark 9:2–8, Luke 9:28–36), so the Lord can permit anyone He so wishes to have this sort of experience. 

This is all part of the communion of the saints that is spoken of in Scripture and in the Apostles' Creed. We believe in the communion of the saints. According to the apostle John, "...if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin." (1Jn 1:7). Those who walk in the light in this way not only have fellowship with the Lord, but with the saints here on earth. And if God chooses to allow it, they also have fellowship with the saints in glory. 

However, we are not to seek to initiate direct contact with them. Such encounters come to those who diligently seek the Lord Himself, like John did on the Isle of Patmos. While he was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, he had an amazing revelation from God that he wrote down in the book of Revelation. Not only did he see the Lord Jesus Christ and the heavenly Father, he also saw angels and saints in glory, including the twenty-four elders. In fact, he spoke with one of the twenty-four elders (Rev 7:13). And many believe that the particular angel who spoke with him and showed him things in heaven was actually the prophet Daniel. John wrote:

"At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, 'Don't do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.'" (Rev 19:10)

The reason many believe this was the prophet Daniel is that he told John that he is a fellow servant with him and his brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. A fellow servant (Gr. sumdoulos) of John and other disciples of Christ signifies being one of them and coequal with them. And the reason he is believed to be the prophet Daniel is that God gave Daniel an apocalyptic revelation of the end times, too, as written in the book of the Bible that bears his name. The books of Daniel and Revelation fit together like a lock and a key. How fitting it would be for Daniel to speak with John during his heavenly encounter and show him the things he showed him.

When I asked Catherine what Mary looked like, she said, "Mary had dark hair and brown eyes, and looked like a young Jewish girl (closely resembling woman in photo to left). The Catholic Church portrays her as English with fair hair and blue eyes. She doesn't look like they portray; they have her wrong. She spoke with great authority, and a strong voice. She spoke the same English as I do, with the South London accent, as I was brought up in South London." 

She stated: "The Holy Spirit later reaffirmed to me that Jesus sent his mother to me, to help heal the trauma of having an abusive foster mother, and never having a loving mother." 

She continued, "When I tell people about this vision, I always point out that Jesus sent his mother to me so that I would know who I belong to -- 'Jesus' -- and not to become a Catholic as some people have said. For although I didn't see Jesus that night, He was still there, because I heard his voice loud and clear, which is a witness to Catholics that Jesus is our Saviour, and they must not pray to or worship Mary." 

Her second encounter in heaven occurred later in life during a time of grief that she was experiencing. In her second encounter, she describes how she saw God on His throne with Jesus at His right hand, and the four living creatures around the throne, as well as the twenty-four elders and myriads of angels all around. You may read about that here in my related article called Catherine Hughes' Second Encounter in Heaven. (See important note below).

Author's note:  If you enjoyed this testimony, I think you'd enjoy this other testimony about Catherine: Catherine Hughes' Second Encounter in Heaven. You may also enjoy watching a short, five-minute version of her testimony produced by God TV. Catherine is not Catholic, nor does she follow the Catholic practices associated with Mariolatry. As a former Catholic myself, I want to be very clear that neither Catherine, nor the Lord, nor my article about her experience in any way whatsoever condone the unbiblical Catholic practice of adoring Mary, worshiping her, or praying to her, which constitute idolatry. Please see my two very important articles about that called Unbiblical Practices of the Catholic Church and Messages from the Lord for Catholics Worshiping Idols. Also related are Baptized with the Holy Spirit, The Gift of Speaking in Tongues, and The Body Parts Storehouse in Heaven.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Eternal Places Prepared by God

I'd like to tell you about the places that God has prepared, and the preparation that is needed to ensure we end up in the right place.

Places Prepared by the Father
Jesus taught that the places immediately on His right and left in heaven were prepared by His Father.

Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father." (Mat 20:23, NIV)

Places Prepared by the Son
Just as there are places prepared by the Father, there are places prepared by Jesus.

Jesus said, "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, so that where I am, you may be also." (Joh 14:2-3, MKJV)

Jesus taught that He went to heaven to prepare a place for us there.  In this instance, the place for us that He was referring to was a mansion or dwelling place.

He said that He has prepared the kingdom of heaven for His sheep since the creation of the world.

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.'" (Mat 25:34).

It's important to note that God prepared His kingdom for the righteous since the world was created. This earth is just a temporary testing ground, but the kingdom of heaven is eternal.

The apostle wrote to the Hebrews that God has prepared a city for all who live by faith in Him.

"Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them." (Heb 11:16)

Place prepared for the devil and his angels
Just as there are places prepared for the saints in heaven, there is a place prepared for the devil and his angels. In that place there is everlasting fire.

"Then He also shall say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels." (Mat 25:41).

Jesus taught that the wicked will go to the same place that is prepared for the devil and his angels. It was not meant for humans but for the devil and the demons. Yet when people follow satan, they must go to the same place where he goes, which is into eternal hell fire.

"And the Devil who deceived them was cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were . And he will be tormented day and night forever and ever." (Rev 20:10)

Our Preparation for Heaven
Even we ourselves must prepare for the Lord. The great multitude in heaven will one day shout:

"Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready." (Rev 19:7)

The Bride of Christ must make herself ready, in other words she must prepare. Our preparation includes being born again, baptized with the Holy Spirit, baptized with fire, repenting, separating ourselves from the world, washing our robes in the blood of the Lamb and making them white, purifying ourselves, praying, being in the Word, doing the Father's will, as well as keeping our flasks full of oil and our lamps burning for the Lord.

The Consequences of Failing to Prepare Ourselves
The Lord also warned about the terrible consequences of failing to prepare.

"And that slave who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes." (Luk 12:47, NASB)

Notice He said that the unworthy slave did not prepare or act in accord with his Master's will. Therefore this is what the Master of that slave will do:

"The master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers." (Luk 12:46, NASB)

Closing Words
So the Lord spoke of places prepared by His Father, such as the thrones at his right and left hand. He also spoke of places that He was going to prepare for us in heaven, which are mansions or dwelling places. We know that God has prepared a heavenly city for those who walk by faith.  He has prepared the kingdom of heaven since the creation of the world for the righteous whom He has blessed.

The Lord said that everlasting fire is prepared for the devil and his angels, where they, as well as all the unrighteous, will be thrown. Indeed, even the Master's servants who know His will and do not act in accordance with it will be thrown into that terrible place. According to Scripture, ultimately death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire, along with the devil, the beast, and the false prophet.

I trust that this study has encouraged you to prepare yourself so that you end up in the right place.  No matter which place you go to, that is where you will all throughout eternity. Please take this seriously, since your eternal destination is at stake.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

Angelica Zambrano Fourth Testimony of Heaven and Hell

This is the 4th Experience of Heaven and Hell that the Lord gave to Angelica Zambrano. In December 2014 she was shown the state of the church, heavenly creatures, the spiritual warfare against believers, the importance of testifying, God’s saving love, and that the Lord is coming very soon for a prepared church.

Angelica: … God bless you all my brothers and sisters. It is a huge blessing to be here, to greet you and to bless your lives through this testimony, which God has used to speak to me. He didn’t make it just for me but he made it to bless your life as well so we will be able to persevere in God’s will together.

Ministry
First of all I want to tell you where I come from. I currently live in Chimborazo province in Ecuador. I am here in Cumanda and I can tell you all that it’s been a blessing to be working for the Lord with my husband and my daughter. We are pastors who belong to the MDI Council. We are also here now with our brother Gabriel who helps us editing and producing the ministry called God’s Dream (Sueno de Dios) and also representing the Ministry Word of Prophetic Revelation (Ministerio Palabra de Revelacion Profetica), which God has allowed me to minister in during these years.

It has been a blessing and a big privilege for me to serve the Lord and I want to say that God loves us so much and His love is so big that every day we can see that love in the air that we breath, also in our lives, because one more day of life is one more day of hope. One more chance that God gives to us in order to be able to seek his presence because the scripture says that apart from Him we can do nothing.

The 4th Experience
I will tell you part of the fourth experience that the Lord let me have. It was something very significant which has impacted my life as the other three previous experiences. This one has been the last one that the Lord has given to me. I am very happy and grateful to God because of this revelation. I also know that it is a huge responsibility that God has given to me because one day I will give account to him and my desire is that this message reaches your heart so you will be able to draw near with Him every day. Do not faint, do not look back either because God has called us to be saved but not to be condemned.

When God let me have the fourth experience it was something tremendous because I never thought that I was going to have a fourth experience. A sister in the Lord was praying with me when suddenly God asked her to pray for me because He was going to show me something. It was supernatural because the presence of God descended in that place and when we were praying the Holy Spirit manifested himself in a very special way so that I could see God’s presence moving into that place. His shinning light descended. When I was praying God filled me so much that I heard His voice saying that He was going to give me one more experience, in which He was going to show me something special that God’s people had to know, and immediately He took me out of my body. My spirit came out and when it happened He took me to a place.

The State Of My Church
I found that place so beautiful and it had thousands of jars but it also had one thing that was difficult for me to understand, and I said: Lord, “Why do these jars look like that”? As some were upright and the others were upside down.

I noticed that some had very little oil and they were getting old. The other jars, the upright ones were very pretty and the oil that those jars had was overflowing and they were shinning like gold. I asked Him: Lord, why are these jars different? And He said to me:“Daughter, this is the state of my people”.

I looked up and there was a note that said  “The State of My Church” written on it; and I realized that those jars all belonged to brothers and sisters in the Lord because we all are part of the Christ’s body, we are a family in the Lord and that’s why I want to tell you from God’s side, that you must be concerned about taking care of your jar because we have to look after our spiritual life.

We can dress well, we can speak well, we might have a well known ministry or not; we can have God’s calling and He is able to use us because the gifts are irrevocable, but we have to understand something and to have it very clear, it’s that the soul is something very valuable and salvation is individual. We must fight for our salvation. (Phil 2:12-16)

There are many jars, which are very old because people have forgotten to renew that oil. People are not concerned about seeking the presence of God anymore. They think that fasting is just about spending time but the real fasting is to look for God’s presence, and to subdue the flesh because Jesus said that “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.” (Matt 26:41)

The flesh doesn’t like to keep vigilant. Flesh doesn’t like praying nor fasting, but get up in the name of Jesus and this is the time for you to start to seek the presence of the Lord so that your jar will be restored because if it’s not restored, nor renewed or without new oil you will be condemned.

Let’s remember that the Bible talks about five foolish virgins (Matt 25:1-13). They did not take care of their lamps, nor were they concerned about having their lamps filled. When the bridegroom took the five wise virgins with him, the foolish virgins realized that it was too late for them.

Brethren, do not wait until the same situation happens to you. Do not wait because God is giving us an opportunity and I believe that you have to get up through these words. This is not with the purpose of bringing you down or for you to say, “It’s all over for me”. No brethren, this message is for you to get up in the name of Jesus and persevere because God has even more gifts for you!

"Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. "Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. "For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. "Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. "But at midnight there was a shout, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' "Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. "The foolish said to the prudent, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' "But the prudent answered, 'No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.' "And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. "Later the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, lord, open up for us.' "But he answered, 'Truly I say to you, I do not know you.' "Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour." (Mat 25:1-13)

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’  But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”

Heavenly Creatures
Then, the Lord moved me out from that place to another one and I was very content, I was feeling happy while I was walking with the Lord, because He was showing me lots of things about the current state of His Church.

Then, He said to me: “Daughter, now look at this.” I saw marvelous horses and every horse was so attractive, big and white, with long tails. What can I say, every horse had a golden plaque on them and they looked lovely. I was truly amazed. I have never seen horses like them. They were many of them and the Lord told me that every horse has an owner and they belong to us, to His Church. It impacted me, and I can say that we all have a horse up there because the word of God talks about white horses.

Prepare Yourself, He Is Coming Soon
After that, the Lord took me to another place. He did not show me as much as the previous experiences but one of the things that he reminded me was to talk to His Church about His coming. To announce that He will come soon and I want to remind you one more time that Christ comes soon for a prepared Church. This is one of the messages that nowadays are difficult to hear in many places, because people call that “legalism”; but I really want to tell you that Christ will come back soon! So let’s prepare ourselves because the Word of the Lord says that no one knows the day or hour when He will come, not even the angels, only our Heavenly Father. Let’s get ready because one day He will come for you and for me and we will enjoy ourselves up there in the presence of the Lord, forever and ever. (Note: Angelica was shown in her 3rd experience that only 20% of the evangelical church was ready for the Lord’s coming).

"Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not [a]shrink away from Him in shame [b]at His coming. 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him." (1 John 2:28-29)

The Spiritual Battle
The enemy has come only to steal and kill and destroy. The enemy has destroyed many people and for that reason the Lord showed me part of Hell. He took me to a place where I saw many demons together but I saw a special place there; a high place with kind of ladders for the demons to walk up. I did not know what was happening but I saw that the demons were walking up and they opened a big book. They were talking one to each other but I couldn’t understand; they were pushing each other and it seemed to me that they were arguing. I asked the Lord: What are these demons doing here? And what is the meaning of that book? The Lord showed me names of His servants in that book. As there is a book of Life in the Kingdom of Heaven, there is also a book in Hell, and I don’t know the name of that book because the Lord did not show me a name. I can only tell you what I saw, as the Bible says that nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it.

I could see many servants of God who I know and others that I don’t know and the demons were planning to destroy those ministries, to destroy those servants of God and their names in Hell are very important because I can say that the cost of each head of each servant written in that demon’s book is very high for them.

The devil has many things to destroy ministries but listen carefully to me! In the name of Jesus all plans from the devil against your ministry is rebuked and also against all purposes that God has for you. If the devil hit you in the head in order to finish the plan that God has for you, he won’t achieve that! That is what he wants to do but the Bible says that the one who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world.

There is no weapon forged against us that will prosper. The devil can do lots of things but while you and I persevere in the gap, he won’t destroy you, you won’t fall, you won’t faint and you will see a major victory from God. You might have done a lot of deliberations, or you might have fought with the devil and you have battled every day with what God has given to you. Keep it doing like that because this is a daily battle. The spiritual battle is not just for a day but 24 hours a day, if I can say it like that.

While I was watching, the demons were down there lining up and each one was in charge to destroy one of the servants. I mean, they basically had a task. If they have tasks to do in hell to present them to devil, we even have many more tasks, as we are Jesus Christ’s church that has a major responsibility. The Bible says “Go and Preach the Gospel to all creation”, and this is the time for us to take up that responsibility; this is the time for us to say Lord, It’s true that one day I will give an account to you. Because do you know what? The Bible says, “Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire”. Do not let yourself to be cut down but start to bear good fruit. Because of that good fruit you will have great reward in the Kingdom of Heaven.

After that, the Lord took me to another place where I saw many jails like I had seen in the previous experiences. All of them had names and numbers, so we went into one of those jails and I saw weird things. I saw demons; many of them and I could see that those demons were coming to confuse people. I could see that the demons task was to confuse many servants but as they couldn’t achieve their goal, they ended up there, in jail, tied and tormented by other demons. In other words I would like you to understand that when they came to earth to confuse God’s servants with false words, with false messages, the servants discovered the demons purposes and they rebuked them, they sent them out in Jesus Name so the demons fell to that tormented place and when they fell they were tormented by other demons. Those Demons are currently being tormented and the Bible talks about that.

I want to keep encouraging you now. I keep saying to you that is time for you to open your eyes and wake up and don’t let the devil come to give you a spiritual dream but do the opposite instead! Fight my brother! Fight my sister! Because we are living in the final days and many things are coming up. The Bible says, "Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold." (Mat 24:12)

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. (Eph 6:10-13)

Speak Up

After that, the Lord took me to another place and He was talking to me saying that I had to do the job on earth. He said that I had to fulfill it without being quiet; and I said, Lord, That’s true. I have to do it because one day I will give an account to you for everything. He said “Daughter, don’t stop preaching my Word, and don’t stop announcing what I have shown you!”

Several times the devil has risen against me. Many people might not believe it; many people do; but nevertheless, one of the things that God reminded me was that He is my faithful witness and if He is so, I must keep going because one day I will give an account to Him.

My brother, I want to tell you that the Lord said to me: “I have revealed things like these to many of my servants; and I have revealed many things in words. I have revealed about Heaven and Hell but they have been afraid and they have been silent without saying anything. Go and tell them to do it, because if they don’t do it, I will demand of them”.

Brethren, if God has revealed something to you, then speak out! Don’t keep it to yourself! Don’t be quiet! You will go to Hell if you remain in silence. You will go to hell because God will ask you and account for that.

The Lord told me that when we keep quiet many souls are lost and besides that, that their blood will be demanded on our head. I encourage you in the name of Jesus, because the Lord asked me to tell you so. I don’t know where you are, I don’t know who you are, but if you are one of the ones who have heard the voice of God and also have seen what God has shown you, Don’t be quiet! Don’t be quiet because if you remain silent, you will have a horrible consequence.

Now as for you, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel; so you will hear a message from My mouth and give them warning from Me. "When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require from your hand. "But if you on your part warn a wicked man to turn from his way and he does not turn from his way, he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your life." (Eze 33:7-9)

After that, the Lord moved me out from those jails and I was crying, asking Him to take me out from that place (Hell). I didn’t want to be there anymore. I was saying: “Lord! I don’t want to be here anymore; I want to keep working for you! Please take me out from here and bring my life back.” I asked things like that to the Lord. I said, “Please bring me my life back because you have the power to do it.” And while I was asking Him those things, how can I say it, He spoke to me about His love and He said: “Go and say to the humanity that I love them; go and tell people that I gave my life because of them, to give them eternal life.”

I was just listening to all that the Lord was saying to me, and I was crying and crying, because I truly can say that in the first experience the Lord Gave me, He said three things to me before He brought me back into life:

    I will take you to many places and you will go with me.
    You will see my Glory but never boast yourself about anything; and also,
    Tell the humanity that I love them.

God So Loved …
I remembered those things and that’s why I cried a lot because He was talking about His love. I remembered many things of the previous experiences and God shook my heart; it was so special because what Christ did for us was something unique that was significant in the history of the nations. I can say that nobody gives her/his life for other person, but Christ did it! He did it all due to His love, because the Bible says “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5, 9)

He didn’t mind His pain, He didn’t mind about the pain that He had in His body; He didn’t mind! Although He already knew what was going to happen, He didn’t mind anything because He cares about us: the Humanity. The last drop of His body was spilt when He gave His life in order to die for us; and He died to be resurrected because He is alive and He resurrected to come to tell us that He is the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him.

So that I now can tell you that the love of God is so big and, many people say that they don’t believe in God, that God doesn’t exist. They are truly wrong. If you don’t believe in God, Repent! You might say: `I don’t see God`, but you breathe even if you don’t see the air, you are breathing. God is like that! You feel the air that runs through your cheeks and your body and you can breathe but you can see that air. God is that real. God gives us the air and He exists. He is real and eternal and because of that reason, He is the only one who gives us eternal life and nobody else does. We find salvation in Him. Because His love covers a multitude of sins, no matter the life that you have or who you are! If you repent He will forgive you.

Something that I remember from a long time ago, this is a testimony. I was preaching in a place and a man came in there; and the man crying asked me: “Do you think that God loves me?” And I answered: “Yes, God loves you.” But he also asked, “Why do you believe that He loves me?” And I replied, “Because He loves the humanity. The Bible says that He loves the sinner but He hates sin.” Then the man asked, “Do you think that God will forgive my sin?” And I said, “Yes! God will forgive your sins because the Bible says if we confess our sins, The Lord is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins.”

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9).

I remember that the man fell on his knees and crying he said: “I don’t believe that God forgives me because I have caused a lot of damage. I have caused a lot of damage to people and you say that God loves me and forgives me? I don’t believe that.” I said to him: “The man thinks one thing but God thinks another thing and God’s thoughts are not as men’s. Because men’s thoughts are limited, but God’s thoughts, the one who is all powerful, the one who is alive, real and eternal has unlimited and the best thoughts ever.”

The Man kept crying and said, “I don’t know; I don’t know if God forgives that I’ve killed many people and that I have done a lot of damage.” I said to him, “Perhaps many people may not forgive you but God does!” So the man ended up receiving Jesus into his heart and when this happened he was not crying of pain or sadness anymore. He was crying as a child, saying, “I’ve never felt so much joy, so much joy! What I’m feeling now in my heart is something unique and special! I feel that something fills me. I feel something empty that is being filled by something that I can’t understand!” I said to him, “That is God’s love! Because Christ died for us to give us salvation and eternal life, and to give us peace and joy. Because the Bible says: `Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.`”. When the man heard that, he said: “That true, that’s true!” This man got up and started to honour, to glory and worship God. I bless that man’s life because I know that God has big plans for him. The truth is that this is a very beautiful testimony because that man could see God’s power, God’s love and God’s restoration in his life.

I am thankful with God because He lets us see His love in all of us and even more , you may seek love’s God but you don’t find it, but you don’t find it yet because you haven’t opened the door of your heart. Open it! So Jesus will enter to live in you and once it happens all in your life will change and I assure that to you, because the Bible says that we have everything with Christ. Although the devil comes against us, Christ will give us the victory.

It is wonderful to have Christ living in us. I feel very happy serving God and that’s why I encourage you to seek the love of God, to seek the way of eternal life, to seek salvation and to keep going in Christ; because the Bible says that away from him we can do nothing, We can’t do anything nor save ourselves. We can enter to the third Heaven just with Him; only Him. Because it is him who will come one day for us in the clouds and He will take us to the third Heaven. I believe that it will be a great blessing for your life.

Lets Pray …
I will pray for you now. I don’t know the situation of your life, I don’t know what you are living now. Perhaps you are lost; perhaps you don’t know Christ yet and you are living a difficult situation, an intense moment in your life without exit, without solution; but I introduce you to the exit now. I’ll introduce you the solution that is Jesus Christ. You will find the victory in your life with Him. I invite you to close your eyes wherever you are and repeat after me this prayer. Ask the Lord to restore your vessel. Ask the Lord to fill you with new oil so; He will be able to restore you in the name of Jesus. Close your eyes and say:

Heavenly Father, I approach to you to ask you to forgive me, to ask you to restore me, to ask you to fill me with your holy presence and to do your perfect and holy will with me. I reconcile myself to your presence and ask you to rewrite my name on the book of life. I give you my life in this moment because it belongs to you today. I also give you my burdens today for you to absolutely control my life. Lord, I need you, I need you to be the King of my life, the King of my salvation. Father of Glory, help me to persevere in your way. Do not let me despair; do not let me be diverted; do not let me go back away from your path. Help me to persevere on a firm and constant way until you come for me.

Father, thank you for the life; thanks for the salvation. Thank you because you are good and your mercy is forever. Glory, Honour and praise to you Holy Spirit, you are real and precious and you are here. I pray you Lord bless everyone who is watching this video (or reading this testimony), whoever who has seen these words. Lord I pray that every word will be restoration and reformation and every plan that the devil had against each life, against ministries, against your purpose is rebuked by the power of your Word and they are broken in the name of Jesus. Disable! In the name of Jesus Christ we declare that the devil and his demons are confused. We declare the victory of Christ in every life. I declare that every lamp is restored and renewed.

Holy Spirit, fill each jar with new oil in the name of Jesus. Lift up the ministries that have fallen; Father, restore them in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit of God, father I pray you bless every purpose of every person who is here, lovely Lord; your purifier presence overflows. Holy Spirit of God, we can feel your presence because it is real. Because you are omnipotent, you are omniscient. In the Name of Jesus I declare that its time of restoration for your life I declare that it’s revival time, time of purification in the name of Jesus; a new rebirth in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit of God, what has been seed, will be harvested today. I pray that this word won’t stay in the air or in the empty space but it will restore in the name of Jesus. Father of Glory, yours are the praise and the honour, only yours! The homage, the majesty and the Glory are only yours. You are Holy. You are precious and wonderful. We say thank you my God; in the name of Jesus. Amen and Amen. Glory to God!

God bless all my brothers and friends in a special way. What could I say, let’s keep going because Christ comes for a prepared church. Do not be dismayed, because our reward is up there. God Bless you.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

Ezekiel Moses Testimony of Heaven and Hell

Ezekiel Moses

As I was listening to brother Ezekiel Moses on New Years Eve, he testified about how he died on his bed in 1987.  He had been going about his daily work, and decided to lay down for a few moments of rest.  After about five minutes, he found that he could no longer breath, and his spirit sat right up and came out of his body.  He turned around and stood there gazing down upon his dead body.  He suddenly forgot about his whole life on earth.  After perhaps two or three minutes, it felt like something like an elevator beneath his feet was lifting him up out of the room through the sky to the place of judgment in heaven.

The Judgment
Brother Ezekiel spoke about the judgment, where he stood in a long line with almost 10,000 people in front of him (see 46:46 in video).  They are people of all ages and all walks of life from every nation, tribe, and language, including children, preachers, prime ministers, and presidents.  He was crying, in pain, and shivering with fear of the judgment as he stood in line. At one point, he excused himself from the line, and tried to run from the judgment.  But no matter how far he ran, he could not reach the back of the line. So he had to get back in line again.  When he stepped back in line, there were now perhaps 200,000 people in front of him. I think he said they were all sent to hell, or almost all of them were (see 49:50 in video). 

Ezekiel Moses Testimony Video

When you get to the front of the line, the sliding glass door opens by itself and your name is called.  You step through the door alone. On the other side of the door, in the place of judgment, are two angels.  You can be sure the presence of the Lord is there, and they are operating under direct orders from the Imperial Throne with full authority to carry out there work. One angel standing behind a table on which there is a tall stack of books.  Each of these books contains sins that people have committed during their life on earth.  There is a book for fornication, a book for lying, a book for stealing, etc.

The apostle Paul wrote, "Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Gal 5:19-21).  There are other lists of sins in the Bible like this, which include additional things, which Paul summarized here as "things like these."

He said that if the fruit of the Spirit is not complete in your life – all nine fruit – forget about heaven.  They are completed in holiness, since they are the fruit of the HOLY Spirit.  He said, “You must have complete holiness!” 

As the apostle Paul said, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit." (Gal 5:22-25)

The other angel is seated behind a table on which is the Book of Life, which is a spotless, white book containing the names of every single redeemed person, who is saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. In all the thousands of years of human existence, there is still just one book containing all the names of the redeemed, which shows how few there are.  The eyes of the angels are like flames of fire, and nobody can look at their face.

The apostle John wrote: "Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." (Rev 20:11-15)

As you stand there and undergo the judgment, you are not allowed to say anything. You don't need to argue and say, "Let me talk. I can explain. This is what happened." No one can stand for you in defense on that day. It is as if you stepped onto a scale and were being weighed.  All your sins that you ever committed during your life, and for which you have never repented and asked the Lord Jesus to forgive you, are displayed on the stack of books like a computer would display search results.  Your sin will find you out (Numbers 32:23). At that point, if any sins appear, they will not ask you at all.  The angel simply shouts, “Depart!” and the person goes straight to hell.  The next thing they know, they find themselves in hell. He said, “Nobody can withstand that judgment. It’s terrible!”

That’s why we need the mercy of God.  That's why we need the grace of God. And might I add, that's why we also need to live for Jesus obediently, and not just say we believe in Him.  That’s why we need to live a life of daily repentance, which is the shortest path to His mercy. 

Ezekiel says, "Hell is real!  The judgment of God is tough!"  He pleads, "Listen! I'm begging you to give your life to the Lord Jesus, whether you like it or not!"  Later he said, "Listen! If you refuse to repent and give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ, you will regret having been born into this world!  Listen! This is a serious case.  You cannot escape it, unless you give your life to the Lord Jesus; unless you repent from your sins."

When the person in front of him was finally called, the door opened, and the brother ran up to the angels.  He ran behind the brother, because he wanted to see what kind of judgment he would receive.  When he entered the place of judgment, the angel at the table where the books of sins were stacked, leaned over and looked at him from behind the stack.  As soon as he had just crossed over into that place, the angel shouted to him, "No! No! Don't follow the boy!  Don't follow the boy!  Please don't follow the boy!  Don't follow the boy!  Today you will receive the mercies of the Lord."

He said, "Listen, I'm not better than the people that are in hell.  I don't live a life holier than them." He was marked for mercy. The Bible says, "I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy." (Ex 33:19b; Rom 9:18a)

"I Found Myself in Hell"
Once they finally called brother Ezekiel's name, and he stood there at the judgment, he recalls, "The angel was looking at me with very cool eyes. I was looking at him. I was thinking about how he had said, 'Don't follow the boy!  Don't follow the boy!' I didn't know what to do." He struggles to recount this part of the testimony, because it was so dreadful, and when he got to this part, he used to get a horrible taste in his mouth. He says, "At last!  At last! I landed in hell! I found myself in hell!" He says, "If you want to know the truth of what I'm telling you, get on your knees and ask God! After I'm finished, get on your knees and ask God, 'This thing that I'm hearing, is it a reality? Is it true?'"

In hell he was crying out in pain, and he could hear all the voices of the people there crying, weeping and gnashing of teeth.  He said, "In hell it's full of darkness! No light. The place was full of darkness. I was crying seriously! I cried and cried.  I thought Jesus would come to rescue me.  I called and called to Him."

He said, "Jesus Christ does not hear me again. The Father does not hear my voice.  The Holy Spirit does not hear my voice. Nobody will rescue me again."

"In hell there is no water to drink, no food for us to eat. You cannot behold the eyes of demons. Hell is real! I'm begging you.  Hell is real! Nobody loved me.  Nobody cared. Listen, listen! I'm begging you everyone of you. Please! Please! Give your life to the Lord Jesus! Amend your ways...before God, because if you miss heaven -- if you miss the kingdom of God -- you will regret being born into this world! Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent! The kingdom of God is at hand! Repent! Hell is real!"

He said, "Listen! If you know you don't want to go to hell, what you need to do is beg God for mercy. Beg God, because I know what I'm talking about! When I was there, I didn't know what to do, because the place was hot! People were begging, people were asking for mercy. In hell, they don't have prayer points.  They pray, 'Lord, have mercy!' If you miss heaven, your pastor can't rescue you!"

He said, "In hell, the smoke is so thick!" Everyone who commits fornication, they hang them naked from their arms and spread their legs out, and torture their private parts with sharp objects.  They are unable to defend themselves or block it with their hands, because they are tied up. Brother Ezekiel screams and cries when he tells his testimony, because he has seen it and the voices of the people crying there is still in his ears.

I read in another account of his testimony that he said, "In hell I felt the heat. It's like when you are in Lagos here but feeling the heat from Abuja. I saw a lot of people from different races, black and white burning and crying. I heard the voice of a woman crying, and begging, and pleading to come back to the world to receive Christ Jesus. She said her husband made her to be where she was now – hell."

"Another, a youth cried that it was his friend who said they should enjoy the world for a little while.  A man was crying and begging for water, but there was no water for him to drink." said brother Ezekiel.

"Behold, as I was crying in hell, I saw the hands of God. I didn't see the face or the whole body of God. Nobody can see God's face..."

He diverged for a moment, saying, "In heaven, the saints cannot see God's face...They may see the hands, or arms, or the legs of God, but He hides His face...When God speaks in heaven, the whole heaven will shake.  Thunder will strike, because God is speaking. He's a God of thunder and of fire!..."

He continues with his account of being in hell and seeing the hands of God. "I knew these were the hands of God.  They were going about looking for someone whom He could rescue. I was shouting and crying, and the hands came to my side. I was looking.  The hands were so fresh...When I saw the hands, they just came at my back here (He points to his upper back). That finger print is still in my back till now. It just stuck on my back like a magnet, and just pulled me out of hell. He placed me back at the entrance of hell. The hand of the Lord is upon me! The hands of God -- of the Lord -- is upon me! The hands of mercy! The hands that were used to deliver the children of Israel from Egypt. The hands of salvation.  The hands of mercy.  We need the mercy to get to heaven. We need the grace to get to heaven."

"When the hands placed me at the entrance, I heard a voice...that it's by the grace of God, we will lift you up and go to heaven in Jesus' name. Immediately the angel of the Lord appeared to me. He looked at me afar off and beckoned unto me and said, 'Come. You will receive the mercy of God today.'"

In Heaven
"Then when I went to him, as he was going, I was following him. He got to a place.  Then before us it was full of gold. The floor of the places were full of gold...I saw beautiful mansions in heaven!  Beautiful mansions!  Incomparable mansions in heaven...Things of this world will perish one day.  I saw mansions, different kinds of designs in heaven."

"I was looking all about.  Then I began to look at the (ground) like a glass, and the walls of the golden house. That's why I want to cut it short, because I know what's going on.  I don't want to miss that glorious place -- that heaven. I'm thirsty to go back. I'm in haste to go back to heaven."

"And the angel of the Lord was looking at me and watching me.  Then I began to see the place was full of light.  No streetlights there. Nothing like that. Jesus Christ, the Lamp of God is the light of the place. The angel took a step and was going, and I was following.  There was a compound in front of us in the far distance.  And the face and gate were made of gold. And inside the compound there were flowers there -- beautiful flowers.  The angel took a step and was going, and I followed. Then that golden gate opened by itself. Everything in heaven is automatic."

Ezekiel asks, "Are they not eating in this heaven? Yes, of course, they are eating in heaven. In 2010 the Lord took me to my own house in heaven through the angels of the Lord.  When I entered into the sitting room, the place was being furnished...Then I saw the kitchen there.  They were preparing food. If I eat the food, I may not come back again. But thank God for that. Delicious food.  In hell, there is no food for them in hell. No water.  But in heaven, we will drink the water of life."  He sings, "There will be no crying over there. There will be no weeping over there...there will be no thirsting over there, there will be no hunger over there."

The Throne Room
He describes what it was like when he entered the throne room. I met the saints. They put on (wear) white garments, crowns on their head, star on their crown, some without stars.  But whether they put on crowns or don't put on crowns, they make heaven.  They are better off than the people in hell.  Listen, when I saw the saints of God, they were praising and dancing and worshiping the King of kings and Lord of lords.  They are so beautiful!  So handsome!  And I was looking for the Lord Jesus Christ.  I wanted to see Him. I looked up and down.  Behold, afar off, I saw King of kings and Lord of lords.  He was lying down (prostrate), and the twenty-four elders were before Him. I had to pass through the saints.  I passed through them to get to where Jesus Christ is. (Bending over) I tapped the leg of Jesus, saying, 'Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!'  He looked up, and said, '...You made it! You made it! You made it!' Because I was in hell. Then he stood up and he carried me like a baby (brother Ezekiel motions to show how the Lord lifted him up over his head like a baby). When I was in His hands, He looked at me, smiled, and laughed. He said, '...You made it! You made it! You made it!' I was smiling in His hands.  Behold, the saints were dancing and praising God! And this was why: It's because another man entered into this kingdom of God. It takes the grace and mercy."

He continues, "Listen to what happened at last.  I was still in the hands of Jesus. Outside the concert choir with these kinds of instrument in their hands: I saw harps, violins, violas, trombones, saxophones, trumpets, and all sorts of instrument in their hands. Immediately I heard from them the song of (the) Hallelujah (chorus). They sang, 'Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!' and so forth.  What happened?  Jesus Christ placed me down, and He said, 'It is time for you to go back.'  I could not say anything. He's my Master.  He's my Lord.  He says to go back.  I cannot speak a word. I began to look at His face." 

The Condition of the Church
"He was looking at me with gentle eyes -- very tender eyes. He looked at me.  He said, 'Son, before you go, I want to tell you, and I want to reveal to you, I want to show you what is going on in My Father's house. Come out!'  (The Lord walked out.)  We came out in the realm of the spirit out of the throne room, but our bodies were still in the throne room. We were looking outside, and behold, I and Jesus stood in one place. And Jesus Christ just (with His hand) wiped this one cloud aside.  And behold, we were looking down into the world. And Jesus said, "Can you see what is going on in the world? I want to tell you, My people! I want to show you what is going on!  In the Church, especially My children, the kind of lives they are living on earth.'"

"And Jesus Christ said, 'I will show you three parts.  People have forgotten that (Scripture that says) Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.  They are forgetting that I told them, I am not of the world, so likewise they are not of the world.'  And when Jesus Christ was saying all this, he started shedding tears, because of you and me."

"And He said, 'Let me show you.' And He showed me the women, the men, and the ministers of God.  Can you see my children, the way they are dressing, coming to My Father's house. See those women.  They say they are clean, they are born again, their name is written in the Book of Life, they are claiming they are coming to heaven, but yet let me show you what is stopping them from coming and entering My Father's kingdom.' And Jesus Christ said, 'Can you see these women, these men, and ministers of God (in three parts).  And He said, 'Look at the women! You see them? See these people that are perming their hair? With the (inaudible word), attachments*, (inaudible word), earrings in their ears, (he gestures toward his chest, indicating exposure of the chest), (putting chains on) their necks**, and things like that?  Can you see them with the trousers, and mini-skirts...some painting their fingers, some painting their lips, and etc., etc.? Some bleach their body.' And Jesus said, 'Tell them! That none of them...if My Father asks the archangels to blow the trumpets, none of them will enter My Father's kingdom.'" [Editor's note: In this section there were several inaudible words, so I suggest watching the video yourself for clarity, especially at around 1:35:55 for this paragraph.  I have tried to accurately record his words to the best of my ability, particularly the meaning he was trying to convey.]

"Then He said, 'Look at the men. Can you see them?  The way they are dressing?  With the (inaudible words), all kinds of style in their hair (he gestures toward his head and mentions some unnatural hairdos)?  (inaudible words).  Some with the knickerbockers (men's or boys' baggy, knee-length trousers), some loosen their (shirt) buttons*, shave (their chests), and are walking like (rascals) like that, coming to the house of God?' And Jesus said, 'I tell you, none of them will enter My Father's kingdom.'"

"And Jesus said, 'Can you see the men of God. Those people that I asked to preach the Truth to the people, that I asked to make the people to know the Truth?  Can you see them? Look at them!' I began to see the ministers of God. He said, 'My eyes are beholding them.' He said, 'Can you see them?' We saw some men of God that are fighting for their posts. We saw some men of God fighting for money.  We saw some men of God that entered the earth, under the earth, in order to see powerful signs and wonders (in their ministry). We saw some men of God that entered the ocean.  We saw some men of God that entered the trees. Others entered the sky and the clouds for signs and wonders -- powers of darkness! And Jesus said, 'None of them will enter My Father's kingdom!'"

"Let me tell you something.  You who go about bouncing from church to church, looking for miracles, signs and wonders, and things like that, and pastors to see visions for you, you are going to hell with them."

He spoke about women who wear trousers to do government jobs like climbing trees and so forth.  He said, "No heaven for you."  I think he said something like, "Why not ask the men (to do that job)?" He said that some pastors will argue that we must obey the government.  But he asked, "Are we supposed to obey the government or obey God?"

"All you brothers with earrings, or (punk) hair, (other hairdos), no heaven! And to wrap it up, you brothers and sisters, (with) no perming, no earrings, etc., dressing in holiness, and you think you are going to heaven, but you have lust.  What is going on between you and your husband? Some of those here are doing things that are wrong." 

"Some of you are not wearing attachments, earrings, etc., and you are dressing in holiness.  But when you get to the judgment, they will say you have unforgiveness. And the angel will say, 'Depart!  You workers of iniquity.' No attachments, earrings, etc., but she has what is called a spirit of unforgiveness."

Women Covering Their Heads
The Lord also said something to him, which is not mentioned in this video.  He said to brother Ezekiel, "Can a woman pray without covering her hair?  Think about it."  That is essentially the same question the Holy Spirit asked through the apostle Paul, who wrote: "Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?" (1 Co 11:13).  Ezekiel says the Lord specifically told him women must cover their hair when they pray, and honor God, as it says in 1 Corinthians 11:3-11. For more on this, see my article Is a Woman's Hair Her Head Covering?.

The Call to Repentance
"Listen! Hell is real!  Choose hell or heaven, Jesus or satan!" 

He gave the following challenge: "Listen! If the trumpet sounds right now, are you capable to go?"

"We need the mercy of God to enter heaven! I want you to cry out to God, 'I need your mercy this moment! Lord, have mercy upon me! I need your mercy to enter the kingdom of God! Lord, I don't want to go to hell! Deliver me, O God! Lord, deliver me! I don't want to find myself in hell! In Jesus' Name we pray!'"

"Listen! I want you to pray and pray and pray!"

[End of testimony]

Scripture Meditation
"For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths. The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them; the cords of their sins hold them fast. For lack of discipline they will die, led astray by their own great folly."  (Prov 5:21-23; also see Prov 4-5).

"What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" (Rom 6:1-2)

"What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means!" (Rom 6:15; also see Rom 6).

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them." (1 Joh 2:15)

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." (Mt 6:13).

For clarity, and to see this brother's sincerity, I recommend viewing the complete Testimony of HEAVEN and HELL - Ezekiel Moses. The original video that I watched is no longer available on YouTube, but there are many others that you can find like the one I have just linked to above and Part Two of that video here. There is also this interview that a sister did with him called Seven Hours in Heaven and Hell by Ezekiel Moses.

*Usually, hair "attachments" refer to wigs, false hair, or any artificial accessory that is woven into or clipped onto the hair.  While hair clips are also a type of artificial attachment, some are worldly while others aren't, so it depends on the type and the purpose.  Each person should pray earnestly and seek the Lord's guidance about what they wear, whether it pleases Him or not, and be careful not to do anything to change the image of God, in which we were created naturally.  With respect to men loosening their shirt buttons, this probably refers to more than just leaving the top button unfastened, such that the chest is exposed immodestly. We need to forget about the world's standard, and think the way God thinks about what it means to be naked or immodest in His sight.

**In this article originally, I stated that the Lord told brother Ezekiel Moses He was displeased with women shaving their legs.  However, I have since spoken with brother Ezekiel Moses on the phone, and he clarified that the Lord never told him it was wrong for women to shave their legs. I had misunderstood him due to his African dialect. He must have said something like "Showing their legs" because the context was around mini skirts, and exposing the chest (breast cleavage), etc. So there should not be a problem with women shaving the legs, since the legs should be covered anyway and nobody sees it. However, regarding shaving the legs or under the arms, the Lord has not spoken to him or to me about that, so I would advise each person to pray and ask the Lord for guidance.  I would add that the motives and thoughts of the heart are also important to the Lord. If it is simply for your own convenience and comfort, that is one thing. But for example, if one is exposing the nakedness of these parts of their body (eg., wearing sleeveless tops or dresses, or spaghetti straps, bathing suits, shorts, or short skirts and dresses), and is shaving to make these naked areas more attractive or seductive to men, or due to vanity, that would be wrong.  That is why it is so important to pray about these things and ask the Lord.  Brother Ezekiel states the Lord does not want women wearing chains on their necks.

Afterword
I had the pleasure and the honor of speaking with an brother Ezekiel by phone on July 11, 2014.  He is a genuine brother in Christ.  

He said it takes him seven days to share his entire testimony of heaven and hell, so when he conducts evangelistic crusades in Nigeria, they last for seven days.  He said that when he gives his testimony, he once again feels the searing heat of hell physically in his body.  It causes him to cry in painful torment, so that the people must pour a lot of cold water upon him to cut the heat down.  During this time, he is lying on the ground, and it takes six to eight men to hold him.  On one occasion recently they poured thirty drums of water on him, each drum containing twelve pales of water.  They have reported that they can actually see the heat rising from his body, and others felt the water getting warm.

This is a very painful experience for brother Ezekiel, so he and some other men of God have prayed and asked the Lord why this happens.  The Lord told him, "My grace is sufficient for you." The Lord told him that it is necessary for people to see him experiencing this supernatural sign as a confirmation of his testimony, so that they might believe that it is truly from the Lord and hell is real.

He said that after he gives his testimony, it is so exhausting that he sometimes goes into a coma for up to fifteen hours! During this time, the Lord sometimes comes to him to touch him, speak to him, minister to him and comfort him.  The Lord sometimes tells him what He wants for His people and what He wants Ezekiel to say to them.  Since he is incapacitated during this time, the workers where he is preaching must carry him to the car or jeep at the end of the meeting. He asked some of the workers who do not know him to tell him what they witnessed, and they say he was like a dead man, foaming at the mouth.

The next day he is so exhausted that he is unable to function.  The only way he can continue to preach is to jump up and down, shouting "Hallelujah!" about two hundred times!  Afterwards, the Lord's enormous, supernatural strength comes into his body and he is able to preach with mighty power!

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
