Rock, Rap, and Reggae Music -- Divine Revelations

I would like to share with you today five divine revelations that make it clear to us the Lord is displeased with his children singing or listening to rock, rap, or reggae music -- even that which has Christian lyrics.  I don't say this to condemn you, but simply to express the Lord's heart, so that you may find out what pleases Him.  Therefore, please approach what you are about to read with An Open Mind that Loves the Truth.

Musical Sins in the Church: Rock, Rap, and Reggae

Angelica Zambrano

I recently watched Angelica Zambrano’s testimony of her third experience in hell, which has since been removed from Youtube and is no longer available to view. In the testimony, she describes how she saw a man in hell for singing Christian rap music in church, which he did in the hopes of attracting young people to church. He wanted gang members to come to God.

Angelica stated in her testimony (at 28:50 in the video):

The Lord told me, “I will show you another sin that takes place in the altars at churches, it is in regard to music.”

The Lord showed me people playing and listening to rock music, rap music, reggae music in the altars at churches. This displeases the Lord. The Word of God says He wants us to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. He does not say He seeks those who will rap for Him in Spirit and in Truth.

In hell, we moved on to another location. Here was a young man who was singing. He was singing Christian rap or reggae style music. He was singing a song that I know, another musician sings, but I won’t mention that musician’s name. I asked the Lord, “Why is he here? Lord I really want to know, why is he here? Why is he singing?” At this time I was remembering how many musicians are in hell. Selena, Michael Jackson, and many other musicians are burning in hell.

I asked, “Lord, did he sing in church?”

“Yes, daughter, he sang at church.” The Lord did not say anything else after that statement.

The Lord allowed me to approach the young man, but the Lord was holding my hand. So I began speaking with this young man.

He said, “My name is Mark. I am in this place because I did not worship the Lord. I sang rap style music instead. I would sing these songs at church, but I did not like to pray. I had no prayer life. I did not like to seek God’s presence. My purpose in singing these songs was to attract young people to church. I wanted gang members to come to God. I did not realize it is God who must draw them. It is He alone that deals with their hearts.”

I asked, “How long have you been in this place?”

He said, “Four years.”

I asked, “Is there any other reason you are here?”

He said, “Yes, I had very much pride. I am also here because of that. Here, the demons torment me continually and laugh at me. They say, ’Worldly music is an instrument we use to bring youth to this place.”

Mark was completely bound while he spoke to me, even while he sang. His arms and body were tied with snakes. He would cry and ask me, “Can you help me?” I said, “No, Mark, I would if I could, but I cannot.”

He said, “I know I will never get out of here. Look at me, I am in torment. When I died, I fell into a tunnel. After I descended from the tunnel, my body exploded as I landed in hell. Worms came out of my body and I have remained in torment until now. I have become disfigured and the flames of hell continue to burn me. I cannot stand it anymore. The demons say that this is my kingdom and that satan is my god.”

I said, “I understand, but Mark, on earth, you had a chance to repent.”

He cried and said, “Tell the young people to worship Jesus. Tell the whole church to worship. God seeks true worshippers.”

After Mark had spoken, a flame came between me and Mark. He became engulfed with the flames as soon as I stepped away.

While we had been speaking, the flames had only risen to his waist. After his last statement, his torment continued as before.

The Lord said, “Daughter, many people think that with certain music and certain programs they are able to attract the world and reach the gang members and drug addicts. No. It is not men who bring conviction of sin, but the Holy Spirit that deals with and convinces man of his sins. It is I who touches hearts. It is I who deals with the hearts of man. I alone am able to save man. Men think they are saviors.”

This is what the Lord told me. I cried. This was so difficult for me. It is still difficult. This is not easy.

I think that if you are listening to this type of music you need to stop. This is between you and God though. I fulfill God’s will in telling you. I am no longer responsible because I told you what God told me. If you want to accept it, accept it. If you want to reject it, reject it. I fulfill my responsibility. This is something He required of me. If I don’t obey Him, hell awaits. I don’t want to go to that place. I don’t want to end up in a place of torment. I have been there three times. I know that hell is more real than life on earth.

As we left Mark’s cell, he began to blaspheme. The Lord told me, “When we leave this place, tell My Church to worship me in Spirit and in Truth.”

Rock Leads to Rebellion
Today I happened to be reading a Demon Busters article about House Curses, in which Gene Moody elaborated on rock music.  I was not even looking for this information, but was actually looking for info about accursed objects.  In that article, he states:

"Rock music and subliminal music is meant to operate on stimuli that exist below the threshold of the conscious mind. Its goal is to awaken the energy center (in the brain) and to expand mental awareness. Scientific instruments have proved it reaches its goal. Music is more powerful than drugs."

"New Age Children's music is to incite rebellion and self elevation. Rock music leads young people into sexual perversions and violence."

In brother David Wilkerson’s 1985 book, Set the Trumpet To Thy Mouth, he said: "One of the reasons God's Spirit was lifted from the Jesus Movement [not that It was ever there] was their refusal to forsake their old music. They gave up pot, heroin, alcohol, promiscuous sex, and they even gave up perverted life-styles. But they refused to give up their beloved rock. ... Amazing! I say its hold is stronger than drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. It is the biggest mass addiction in the world's history. Rock music, as used and performed in Christian circles, is of the same satanic seed as that which is called punk, heavy metal, and is performed in devilish rock concerts worldwide."

Warning to those listening to music that doesn't glorify God
Nine months after posting this blog, I was re-reading parts of the testimony of Samuel Oghenetega and realized that the Lord also gave him a warning to those listening to music that doesn't glorify God. The Lord said, "All music that does not glorify me or my Father: Those who listen to it will be cast into the fire."

Worldly Gospel Music is Demonic

James Agboola

One year after writing this article, I wrote an article called James Agboola Revelation of Heaven and Hell, in which I reported that the Lord showed this brother the kingdom of darkness.  In the following excerpt from his testimony, you will see that the devil also possesses people to produce worldly gospel music that takes people away from God. He stated:

...after a while, the Lord said, “I want to show you what’s going on in the kingdom of darkness. Prepare yourself.” I don’t know. So after some time in the night, I just slept. And it’s like a wild wind, very strong, just came in and picked me (up). As He picked me, He took me up and took me to air flying on the air. He took me to a far land, on a far journey across the desert, across big oceans. And at the point that He brought me down, in the deep forest, I saw in a very big gate: “Welcome to the conference of the demons.” I don’t know how I managed. The wind just took me in there. Veep! And kept me in a corner. I sat down. As I sat down, I began to see demons coming in from the four corners of the earth. They were flying in and they were in different shapes in different sizes. They were flying in from every angle. As they fly in, they take their seats. As they’re flying in, they take their seat. As they’re flying in, they take their seat.

The place was completely in darkness. But in the midst of darkness, God gave me eyes and I could see everything that is going on in there. But none of them noticed my presence there. I saw seats of pastors, pastors that are getting powers from the kingdom of darkness. They’re all flying, each different. As they’re coming, they’re taking their position, many of them with their collar around their neck, with their big hat that they used to wear, with their series of mode of dressing, they all took their seat. The place was in total silence. After a while, the devil himself now came down (James motions with his hand to indicate the devil descended into the room). As he comes down, I’ve never seen somebody so furious who is so angry, who is so annoyed, like the devil. He came with serious anger. There was a big seat prepared for him, but he couldn’t sit. He was just going up and down (James paces quickly back and forth with his head down). “What are you people doing?!” He was addressing the congregations of the devils and the pastors. “What are you people doing?! What are you doing?! Are you doing anything? I don’t see the products of what you are doing!”

After a while, one of the devils stood up (James demonstrates the demon standing up and speaking while hunched over with his head down). He said, “Master, we are trying our best. Master, we are possessing the Church. Master, we are taking (inaudible). Master, we are taking over the youth activities. We deliver them. We give them new systems. We give them new fashions. We make them to go out of the (inaudible) and the way of God. Master…”

After that one speaks, another one would get up. “Master, we have possessed the gospel musicians of the earth. Their musics no longer having meaning in the spiritual realms. We have possessed their gospel music so that it becomes worldly music. They will think they are singing gospel music, but it is worldly. We are giving them some tunes, some pieces, some dancing steps which is not of God, which is of the demons to convince them. They will be sang inside the congregations, and they will dance to them." (Read the full testimony at James Agboola Revelation of Heaven and Hell).

The Origin of Worldly Music
As I wrote in my article, The Origin of Sin, Satan, and Secular Music, in God’s original design, music was solely for true worship of Him alone, and that was the only kind of music that existed. But now that satan has fallen, he has invented other unauthorized kinds of music that do not bring glory to the Lord God Almighty and that are not true, spiritual worship. These include pagan worship, the worship of false gods (demons), satan worship, and what we have come to know as "secular music" in all its various forms. All of these are forms of stolen worship, which is one way that satan gets his strength. All music that does not glorify God is from satan and is sinful.

Scriptural Meditations
"’Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,’ says the Lord.  ‘And do not touch what is unclean; And I will welcome you. And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,’ Says the Lord Almighty.  Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” (2Co 6:17-18 - 7:1)

"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." (Heb 12:14)

"...make a distinction between the holy and the profane, and between the unclean and the clean." (Lev 10:10b)

"'For I am the LORD who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God; thus you shall be holy, for I am holy.'" (Lev 11:45)

"As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, 'You shall be holy, for I am holy.'"  (1Pe 1:14-16)

"Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves 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 boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world." (1Jn 2:15-16).

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, ‘He is the One who catches the wise in their craftiness.’” (1 Cor 3:19)

Worldly music is the counsel of the wicked! "How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!" (Psa 1:1).

Worldly music contains careless words. "But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." (Mat 12:36-37)

This next passage from the apostle Paul's letter to the Corinthians describes how I feel about writing this article. In it, Paul refers to his first epistle to the Corinthians, in which he had to confront them about sin in the church.  He wrote:

"For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it--for I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while-- I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us. For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death." (2Co 7:8-10)

My Personal Testimony
Before I came to know Christ, I was a big fan of rock music. I used to attend rock concerts, and I had a large collection of rock music and jazz. It was a big part of my life. But once I repented and gave my life to Jesus, afterward as a new Christian, I saw a presentation in Church about the dangers of rock music. It was either Hell’s Bells: The Dangers of Rock ‘N’ Roll by Reel to Real Ministries, or else it was another very similar presentation by another ministry.  After seeing that, I was convicted by the Holy Spirit that rock music was in fact evil. I gathered all my rock music, and other worldly music into a large garbage bag and threw it into the trash. I cannot begin to calculate what the monetary value of that music was, but it was worth a lot of money at that time.

However, I replaced my secular rock music with Christian rock music. And I didn't see any problem with it, until I heard a preacher deliver a message that showed how even Christian rock music is from the devil. I realized it was true, so I threw all that music into the trash, too. But later on I began to relax my attitude toward Christian rock music, and allowed it back into my life to a certain degree. I let down my guard and went back to sleep. In fact, over the years as a Christian, although I have mostly enjoyed listening to Christian music, there were times when I even listened to secular rock songs and other types of worldly music on occasion without realizing I was dabbling with fire. Having heard these testimonies, I am once again convinced that the saints should not be listening to rock music at all. All those worldly songs, even the love songs, they are not of God. They are of the devil.

The problem is that nobody is preaching against it, at least not in the Christian circles I was part of for most of my walk with Christ. People are going down to hell because of this music, and we are not warning them! We've allowed the devil to deceive us. We need to wake up, repent, and warn others about this trap, so that they can get free from it.

Putting it All Together
I realize this is a radical message that will shake some people up, but I want to ask you to take it before the Lord in prayer, and search the Word to see if these things are really so.  Ask the Lord to confirm to you if these things are true, and to show you if you are singing or listening to any music that displeases Him.  I do not claim to be perfect yet, but it's my goal in Christ.

Now I would like to quote two of these five people in conclusion of this article.

As sister Angelica stated: "I think that if you are listening to this type of music you need to stop. This is between you and God though. I fulfill God’s will in telling you. I am no longer responsible because I told you what God told me. If you want to accept it, accept it. If you want to reject it, reject it. I fulfill my responsibility. This is something He required of me. If I don’t obey Him, hell awaits. I don’t want to go to that place. I don’t want to end up in a place of torment. I have been there three times. I know that hell is more real than life on earth."

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?"

The Book of Life

Did you know there is a book in heaven, called the Book of Life? It's not some imaginary book.  It's a real book, and you need to be sure your name is written in it.  Let's look at what the Bible says about this book, and what people have said, who testified that they saw it when they were given a divine revelation of heaven.

Whose Names are In the Book
First, I'd like to show you what the Bible says about whose names are in the Book of Life.

The apostle Paul wrote in his epistle to the Philippians, "Indeed, true companion, I ask you also to help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life."  (Phi 4:3)

Jesus Christ said in His message to the Church in Sardis, which the apostle John recorded in The Revelation, "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."  (Rev 3:5)

There were seven Columbian youths, who received a revelation of heaven and hell. When they went to heaven, they saw the Book of Life there.  Here is a major excerpt from their testimony:

"We then came to a very immense area; a very wonderful and beautiful place.  This place was full of precious stones: gold, emeralds, rubies and diamonds.  The floor was made of pure gold.  We then went to a place where there were three very large books.  The first one was a Bible made of gold.  In Psalms it tells us that the Word of God is eternal and that the Word of God remains in Heaven forever. (Psalms 119:89) We were looking at a huge golden Bible; the pages, the scripture, everything was made of pure gold."

"The second book we saw was bigger than the Bible.  It was open and an angel was sitting there writing inside the book.  Together with the Lord Jesus we got closer to see what the angel was writing.  The angel was writing all of the things that were happening on the Earth.  Everything that has happened; including the date, the hour, everything is recorded there.  This is done so the Word of the Lord can be fulfilled where it says that the Books were opened, and that the people on the Earth were judged according to their works that were written in those books (Revelations 20:12).  The angel was writing all the things that people were doing here on Earth, good or bad, as it is written."

"We continued to the place where the third book was.  It was even bigger than the last book!  The book was closed, but we got closer to it.  All seven of us together took the book down from its stand, according to command of the Lord, and we put it on a pillar."

"The pillars and columns in Heaven are so wonderful!  They are not made like the ones on the Earth.  The columns were like a braid, they were made of different precious stones.  Some were made of diamonds, others were made of pure emeralds, others were made of pure gold, and others were made of a combination of many different type of stones.  I then understand that God really is the owner of all things, as it is written in Haggai 2:8, 'The gold is mine, and silver is mine.' I understood that God is absolutely rich and He owns all the riches in the world.  I also understood that the world in all its fullness belongs to our God, and He wants to give it to all those who ask in faith."

"The Lord said, 'Ask me and I will give you the nations for an inheritance.' (Psalms 2:8)  This book that we put on the column was so big that in order to turn a page we had to walk each page to the other side of the book.  We tried to read what was in that book, as the Lord asked us.  At first, it was difficult to read because it was written in strange characters that we could not understand.  It was different from any Earthly language; it was something totally Heavenly.  But with the help of the Holy Ghost, we were given the grace to understand it.  It was like a bandage was taken off our eyes and we could then understand the writing; as clear as our own language."

"We could see that all seven of our names were written in the book.  The Lord told us that it was the Book of Life. (Revelations 3:5)  We noted that the names written in the book were not the names we were called on Earth; these names were new, so the Word of God can be fulfilled when it says that He would give us a new name that no one else knows but the person who receives it. (Revelations 2:17)"

"In Heaven, we were able to pronounce our names, but once the Lord brought us back to Earth those names were taken from our memories and our hearts.  The Word of God is eternal, and it has to be fulfilled.  My friends, the Bible says, (Revelations 3:11) Don't let anyone take your crown, do not let any one to usurp or remove that place that the Father has ready for you.  In Heaven, there are millions of things that are wonderful, we just can't express it with our mouths.  But I want to tell you something, 'God is waiting for you!' However it is only the people that perseveres until the end, who will be saved! (Mark 13:13)" -- from Revelations of Heaven and Hell to 7 Youths

Korean brother Yong Doo Kim’s son, Joseph Kim was taken to heaven and saw the Book of Life.  He wrote in brother Kim’s book called Baptize by Blazing Fire Volume Three: "Then, while I was still at the throne of God, I saw precisely four beasts: one was a lion, a calf, a beast with the face of a human, and an eagle soaring with its wings -- just as it is mentioned in the book of Revelation 4:7. There were six wings attached to it, with countless eyes in the front as well as the back, and it looked closely and observed what was happening on earth where we lived. As the angels opened up the Book of Life before the throne of God, God turned the pages of the book one by one looking for something."

Joseph continued, "A short while later God’s enormous hand found and confirmed the matter He had in mind from the book of life. So, after He found it, He pointed at me saying, 'Joseph Kim!' and then commanded, 'Bring me Joseph’s bottle for his tears, as well as sister Shin, Sung-Kyung’s tear bottle to me.'

“Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?” (Psalm 56:8, KJV).

In Volume Four of Baptized by Blazing Fire, brother Kim’s daughter Joo-Eun recorded her experience in heaven and said, “The angel who is in charge of the book of life at God’s throne is called Seraphim.”

Whose Names are Not In the Book
Next let's see whose names are not in the Book.

It's recorded in the book of Revelation, "All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life of the Lamb who has been slain." (Rev 13:8)

"The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come.  (Rev 17:8)

We learn from these verses that everyone whose name has not been written in the Lamb's Book of Life from the foundation of the world will worship the beast. These same people will admire him, who blasphemes God and His tabernacle. 

You Will be Judged from the Things Written in the Book
The Bible is very clear that you will be judged from the things written in the books.

A sister named Ayodelle Sawyer, from Sierre Leone was taken by Jesus Christ to heaven, and saw the Book of Life near the great big gates of heaven.  She saw her name written in it, but it was not her favorite nickname.  Her original birth name, Ayo, was the name written in heaven.  She saw the angels recording things in it faster than a computer.  Inside this Book, the Lord showed her that every thought you think on earth, and every thing you do -- whether good or bad -- is recorded in this Book.

It's recorded in the book of Revelation: "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 20:12-15)

It says the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.  It also says that if anyone's name was not found written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.  That's why you need to make sure your name is in it!

Only Those Whose Names are in the Book Dwell in Heaven
The only people who are allowed to dwell in heaven are those whose names are in the Book of Life.

"In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed; and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it; and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life." (Rev 21:25-27)

In Psalm 87, the psalmist wrote about how God recognizes who's born from above, born of the Spirit.  He knows those who are His.  And He has a register in heaven where all our names are written.

"His foundation is in the holy mountains. The LORD loves the gates of Zion More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. Selah. 'I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me; Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia: "This one was born there." But of Zion it shall be said, 'This one and that one were born in her'; And the Most High Himself will establish her. The LORD will count when He registers the peoples, 'This one was born there.' Selah. Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes shall say, 'All my springs of joy are in you.'"  (Psa 87:1-7).

Blotting out names from the Book of Life
It's important for you to understand that just as names are added to the Book of Life, they can also be deleted.  The Scriptures are very clear about this.

Moses wrote, "The LORD spoke further to me, saying, 'I have seen this people, and indeed, it is a stubborn people. 'Let Me alone, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.'  (Deu 9:13-14)

The Lord was so angry with the Israelites for their stubborn rebellion that He was about to blot their names out, and establish an even mightier nation through Moses.

In another passage, Moses wrote: "The LORD shall never be willing to forgive him, but rather the anger of the LORD and His jealousy will burn against that man, and every curse which is written in this book will rest on him, and the LORD will blot out his name from under heaven."  (Deu 29:20)

Maybe you are wondering about the meaning of this expression "blot out their names from under heaven."  You might be wondering if that simply means to destroy their physical earthly lives while preserving their souls in heaven.  But this next passage makes it clear:

The LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My Book."  (Exo 32:33)

This leaves no doubt that the Lord will erase from His Book whoever has sinned against Him.  This is why a life of daily repentance is the shortest route to God's mercy and compassion.

As the apostle Paul wrote: "Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: 'The Lord knows those who are his,' and, 'Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.'” (2 Tim 2:19).

Angelica Zambrano from Ecuador was taken by Jesus Christ to heaven, and saw the Book of Life.

She said: Then I saw angels around me. I recognized the Angel Michael, because I met him before. The Lord said, "Listen, angel Michael is going to show you something". The angel Gabriel was also at my side. Then the angel Michael took my hand, and the Lord commanded him, "Take her and let her see what you have to show her."

"As we walked, we soon began to climb up the most beautiful staircase. It seemed like a Ball Room. And in a high place in the room there was an altar, with a most beautiful golden pulpit. When we got to the pulpit, I saw a huge book and I asked Michael, 'this book, what is it?'"

"While Michael was on the right side of the pulpit, he put his hand on the book and raised his voice saying, 'Angelica, this book you see here is the Book of Life.' I opened it and looked at it, page by page. I said, 'What does this book mean, what is written on it?'  Michael said, 'Open it, upon this book is written all the names of those whom on Earth have repented and turned their lives to our Heavenly Father.'"

"As I was looking through the book, I asked Michael, 'Is my name written here?' 'Yes, look it up and you’ll find it.' I looked, but couldn’t find it. A little worried, I asked, 'It is not here, my name is not here, I can’t find it, where is it?' He responded, 'Look, here is your name.' I was glad to see my name, but I could not understand it because it was written in another language. I noticed that many names were sparkling, so I asked him, 'Why are those names bright and tingling?' He responded, 'These names you see sparkling in the Book of Life, are those people on Earth, at this very moment are repenting from their sins and seeking for God’s presence. Look, these other names are hardly seen and some are being deleted as many have already been, are those people on Earth that are turning away from God’s ways. You have to do something, do something!'"

"Once again, he put his hand over the Book of Life and said to me, 'Go and tell mankind that if their name is not written in this Book, they cannot enter the Kingdom of My Heavenly Father, they cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.' I responded, 'Alright, I will do so.'   It is written in Revelation 20:15 'if anyone's name was not found recorded in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire.' We walked out and went back to Jesus, he said, 'It is time for you to return to Earth.'" 

Angelica says, "Do you think your name is written in the Book of Life? If you do not think so, go seek of God. If you've turned your back on God, reconcile with Him, because He is willing to forgive you, no matter what you have done. Remember, He came to save sinners; He came to forgive all mankind’s sins on Earth. Just open your heart and ask Him for forgiveness. He is willing to cleanse us from unrighteousness, as it clearly says in 1 John 1:9 ‘If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.’"

Brother Yong Doo Kim wrote in his book called, Baptized by Blazing Fire, Volume Two: "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 don’t 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 doesn’t mourn and sincerely repent, she won’t 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. 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 the day is coming when we will all have to give account for our deeds."

Brother Kim continues, "As I write this chapter, I’m 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’re living our daily life within the Lord’s amazing grace. However, living in His grace doesn’t mean our sins just disappear. We are abusing God’s grace if we don’t repent. A daily repentant life is the fastest and shortest route to God’s mercy and compassion."

Putting it All Together
If you have been asleep spiritually, I hope this post has served as a wake up call for you.  If your name is not written in the Book of Life, you will be among those who worship the beast, and you will be thrown into the lake of fire. If you once gave your life to Jesus, but you are not living in obedience to His Word, you are not living a life of holiness, righteousness, and Truth, then you need to take this message seriously.  Your name could be fading from the Book of Life or already deleted.  If that's you, then you need to repent fearfully, cry out for God's mercy, and turn back to God, proving your repentance by your deeds.

He came to save sinners; He came to forgive all mankind’s sins on Earth. Just open your heart and ask Him for forgiveness. He is willing to cleanse us from unrighteousness, as it clearly says in 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

The names that are sparkling in the Book of Life, are those people on Earth, at this very moment are repenting from their sins and seeking for God’s presence. However, the names of those people on Earth that are turning away from God’s ways are hardly seen and some are being deleted as many have already been.

And if you are already awake spiritually, it should be a great encouragement to you to know that the Book of Life is a literal book, and upon this book is written all the names of those whom on Earth have repented and turned their lives to our Heavenly Father.  It should also be an encouragement to stay the course and live a life of holiness in every area.  That includes inward holiness of the heart, and outward holiness of the body.  This way you will ensure that your name is never erased from the Book.

Don't let anyone take your crown, do not let any one to usurp or remove that place that the Father has ready for you. We're living every day in God's grace, but that does not give us an excuse to sin.  Don't abuse God's grace. Every thought you think on earth, and every thing you do -- whether good or bad -- is recorded in a book in heaven. So be earnest and repent.  God is waiting for you! However it is only the people that perseveres until the end, who will be saved!

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.

Angelica Zambrano Second Visit to Hell

Angelica Zambrano

In a previous post on this blog, I wrote about a 2009 visit to hell by an Ecuadorean girl, named Angelica Zambrano (see here).  

But a new video in Spanish was later released about her second visit to hell, close to midnight on January 4, 2010.  She was also taken to heaven.  This happened in Empalme, Ecuador.

Her video testimony has been removed from Youtube and only the transcript is available unfortunately (see link below).

What she saw their will shock you.  Rather than describe it here, I would like you to prayerfully read for yourself and see what the Lord showed and told her.  For issues and concerns, each person must confirm with the Lord, whether something is valid or not.

If you believe there is a purgatory, you should read this.  If you pray the rosary, you should read this.  If you do not give your tithes and offerings to the Lord, you should read this. 

Angelica's body while her spirit was in heaven and hell

If you want to be encouraged, you should read this.  She saw the Book of Life in heaven, and the names written in it.  She also saw the crown of life that she will be given when she is finished with her earthly life and goes to heaven to remain there.  In the Book of Life, there were names written in gold letters.  These are all the people who have are saved and following Jesus.  Some names were sparkling brighter than the others, which were names of those who were in the process of repenting and giving their whole lives to Jesus.  Other names were fading, which were people who were falling away from the Lord.

I urge you to read her short testimony.  It could be the very thing that God uses to keep you from continuing on the path to destruction.  Even if you think you are a good person and you are not doing anything wrong, you should watch this.  Even if you think you are putting your trust only in Jesus for your salvation, you should read it.  If you are truly saved, you have nothing to worry about by watch this.  But if there is some area of your life that God wants to address though this testimony, then you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by paying attention to it.

As I mentioned in my introduction, this was Angelica's second visit to hell. If you have not yet read the testimony of her first visit, then please read Angelica Zambrano Hell and Heaven. She has also had a third visit to hell, which I covered in my blog Rock, Rap, and Reggae Music -- Two Divine Revelations. If you enjoyed this post, please also see Ibrahim's Experience in Hell.

Angelica Zambrano Hell and Heaven

Angelica Zambrano

A friend recently encouraged me to watch a video recording of Angelica Zambrano's testimony.  This is a story of a young lady from Ecuador, who claims she was visited by Jesus on November 7, 2009, and was shown hell and heaven. I thought I'd watch it later, but ended up watching it all in one sitting. It's very powerful and compelling. You don't want to miss this.

Here's my review after seeing the video linked below.  I carefully listened to what she said, and I did not hear anything that contradicted the Word of God.  Her message is in line with the Scriptures. Her mother also testifies in the video about the events surrounding Angelica's death.  After watching it, I have no question that this is a legitimate experience that was from the Lord.

She has many warnings in this video from the Lord Jesus.  He is weeping, because more people are being condemned than those who are being saved.  Multitudes are pouring into hell on a daily basis, and it breaks His heart.  Many of the people going to hell attend church and know the Word of God.  They may have once had a relationship with the Lord, but they have left the straight path.  They have wandered away from Him or compromised their lives in some way, as I have written about in Drifting Away. 

She saw many famous people in hell, including a past pope. She said the Lord showed her this man's life on earth and the reasons he is in hell today (I have covered some of these in a previous post already).  She saw entertainers and singers there, like Selena Quintanilla-Pérez and Michael Jackson.  There were even people she had known on earth, who had once walked with the Lord, but loved the world or the things of this world more than Him. She even saw her great grandmother there, who carried unforgiveness in her heart during her life.

When the Lord showed her heaven, it was more beautiful than anything we could imagine. In fact, He Himself is more beautiful than words could describe.  His very presence communicated love.  In heaven she saw numerous, well-known people from the Bible.  She saw King David, Abraham, and Joseph.  They all looked so young and beautiful, dressed in white robes. She saw Sarah and Mary Magdalene, as well as Mary, the woman who gave birth to Jesus on earth. 

When Angelica saw Mary, Jesus wanted her to know that Mary has no knowledge of anything on earth.  The only thing you should adore or exalt is Jesus, because neither Mary nor any other saint can give salvation.  The only one that can give salvation is Jesus, and apart from Him, no one can save.

Angelica said the Lord urges us to seek the Lord now while there is time. Adore Him. He's coming soon for His holy ones.  He said, "I am coming now!"  No one knows the date or the hour when He is coming, but only the holy ones will see Him.  Only the holy ones will live in heaven.  There will be no idolators, drunkards, adulterers, fornicators, greedy or swindlers in heaven.  

Hell is real!  It's not a game, but an actual place of torment. Jesus said He did not create hell for man, but for Satan.  But humans are there, because of sin.  Idolators will not inherit the kingdom of heaven, so repent and depart from idolatry.  God wants to give you the best. He wants you to enter the kingdom of heaven.   Jesus Christ died for you and all mankind.  He wants you to repent, so that you can be saved.

This video caused me to seriously examine my own heart and repent of any areas that are displeasing to Him.  I encourage you to watch this video and see for yourself whether it is true.  If it is a farce, then you will clearly see that.  However, I think you will find, as I did, that this is a very important message from the Lord for us today.

Watch the video on Youtube at this link.

Closing Words

The time is short.  We should share this with our family, friends, and everyone we know. I highly recommend it.  Today many believers are embarrassed to share the gospel.  But the Lord said that if you do not warn them, then their blood will be on your hands.  Pray for them and warn them about hell.  Tell them the good news of the gospel.  Don't be afraid that they may reject the truth.  Just leave the results with the Lord.  Then your hands will be clean of their blood.  Let's be diligent to work in the vineyard while there is still daylight.
