This is a collection of testimonies from those who claim to have experienced heaven and hell, as well as those who have had direct, face-to-face encounters with God the Father in heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ, or His holy angels. It includes a number of documented accounts of individuals being raised from the dead. It also includes some visions and important Scriptural studies on the topic of heaven and hell.
"Where there is no vision, the people perish..." (Pro 29:18a, KJV)
"For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life." (1 Thes 4:7, NIV)
"...But this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel: 'And it shall be in the last days,' God says, 'that I will pour forth of my Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; even on My bondslaves, both men and women, I will in those days pour forth of My Spirit And they shall prophesy." (Act 2:16-18, NASB)
It is my prayer that these testimonies will lead you to pray earnestly and seek the Lord's face, regarding the destiny of your own soul, and the souls of the people in your life, so that you and they will not miss the glories of heaven and wind up in hell for eternity.

On this blog I post testimonies of people, who claim that they have received a divine revelation from the Lord Jesus Christ. As you read these, you will find some of them to be controversial. However, that alone is not a reason to reject them. Each one needs to be reviewed on its own merit to see if it is truly from the Lord.
We should be like the Berean believers: "Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so." (Act 17:11). By this I am not implying that these testimonies constitute the Word of God, or that they become a new book of the Bible. However, they do contain messages purportedly from Jesus Christ, and they often quote Scripture. Don't despise prophetic utterances (1Th 5:20). Let's eagerly receive anything the Lord has so say to us through His Body, but be diligent to examine the Scriptures daily to see whether these things are so. Let's test the spirits to see whether they are from God.
I would like to suggest that here we use the same review criteria outlined on Robert Brownell's website, SpiritLessons. Brownell states:
"[This] website receives many new testimonies from around the world, by people who testify of Revelations by Jesus. These testimonies are very valuable, but like the 1st century church, there needs to be review process by Mature Christians. When a testimony has something controversial or difficult, we'll put it under the 'UNDER REVIEW' section. With a comment box on the bottom, for wise Christian counsel. This should help weed out problems, and identify issues. Similar to the way the early Church discussed matters."
"Remember, we are NOT canonizing scripture here. The Bible is sufficient! We were never given permission by God to add His scripture. We are just investigating Face to Face encounters with Jesus Christ. None of these testimonies have gone through the rigorous and thorough testing that the Bible has gone through. If something contradicts with clear scripture, please note that in the comment section. I never allow people's revelations to contradict verbatim scripture. If any revelation contradicts clear scripture, I reject it. For the Bible is my foundation of doctrine. But I will allow revelations to challenge my interpretation of scripture. And I will not pridefully hold up my interpretation of scripture as infallible."
"Things to remember when reviewing:
1. Please understand that there MAY be mistranslations from the original testimony.
2. There MAY be places where authors are not clear enough in their description.
3. We are looking for patterns, that show up in multiple testimonies. This gives certain issues more weight.
4. Also remember that we don't care about their opinions, ideas or speculation. We only really care about what Jesus told them. There are many good people of God who can have misunderstandings in their opinions. No one's opinions are perfect. Hopefully they won't share opinions in their testimonies, we just want the FACTS! WHAT WAS THE MESSAGE FROM JESUS? This is why we often highlight the words of Jesus in Dark, Bolded Red.
5. Also, regarding sin, remember that the Lord weighs the Motives of the Heart. Two people can do the same thing, and the Lord judges differently. Therefore if one person claims an actions can lead a person to Hell, we're looking for a clear definition of what that action is, not just a vague description."
"So get your Bibles, and hammer these testimonies out. Please leave Wise and Referenced Comments on the bottom." -- Robert Brownell.

What you are about to read is going to be a great blessing to you. I previously wrote to you about brother Lynn Veasley's Revelation of Hell. Now you are about to hear his testimony about his experience when the Lord allowed him to visit heaven. Here is the transcript from his video Heaven is Real.
Testimony of Lynn Veasley
Hi. Welcome back. This is God is Real, and I’m Lynn.
Last time I told you about my trip to Hell, that God had taken me to. And today I’m going to tell you one of my best experiences—a trip to Heaven. Now I know a lot a people think that “you have to be died and gone. Nobody’s been to Heaven.” But that’s not true. He has many people that visit Heaven, and because of God has allowed it, and God likes to show people what they’re going to inherit. But anyway, I’ll share this part with you. Because of the time limit, I’m going to only give you as much as possible. But I’m sure I’m going to leave quite a bit of it out. But this time, I’m going to share it with you.
Now, you know Father always woke me up at four o’clock in the morning. That’s our relationship. He wakes me up. He talks to me. He shows me things. He gives me visions. He takes me away, and I have many out-of-body experiences. And I tell you, when you have an out-of-body experience, this is a very scary thing until the presence of God calms you down.
So, one morning, He woke me up, and He told me. And I went up front to pray as I normally do. And at this time, He’s voice kept getting stronger and stronger, and it was in the room. And He said, “Come walk towards my voice.” And so I got up off my knees, and I walked towards his voice. And as I did, His voice got louder. He said, “Come closer.” And the voice and His presence were stronger. And as it was so strong, I told Him I couldn’t take it, because the body just can hardly take it, and the Spirit is taking on control of your body, basically. And so, what happened was He told me to come closer and closer. And the closer I got to Him—His voice—the stronger His presence was. And I was screaming, and I was hollering. I said, “Lord, Lord, I can’t take it! I can’t take this!
I can’t take this! I said, “It’s too strong! I can’t take this!” He said, “Come closer. Come closer.” And when He did, automatically I dropped, and I was in the Spirit.
And as I was in the Spirit…This was my first time experiencing that much. And I’m trying to come up with the words to explain how it felt. You felt… good. That’s the only word I can come up with because this was just amazing—how strong the presence was. And after I left my body, you just feel good and free—no pain, no anything.
So, He asked me a question. He said, “Can you see?” I said, “Can I see what?” He said, “Can you see? Tell me what you see.” And I said, “I see smoke.” He said, “What else do you see?” “I see smoke.” Then, all of a sudden, the smoke started to clear a little bit. And it was—it was a little, short man standing there! He wasn’t a good 4’6” or something—about 4 ½ feet tall. And he was just standing there looking at me. And I looked at him. And he said, “Hi, Lynn.” And I said “hi” back to him.
And I ask him, I said, “Where am I?” He said, “Look around and see.” So I looked, and we were in a room—a big room. And I asked, “Where am I?” He said, “Look around and see.” I’m still looking around, and I couldn’t tell exactly where I was at. It just looked like a big room.
And I asked him, I said, “What’s your name?” He told me his name. His name was Minalik. I said, “Minalik.” I said, “Why, how do you know me?” He said, “I know you.” He said, “Father’s the One that sent me to you. We are here, and we wanted to meet you.” And I’m like, “We? I don’t see anybody but you.” And he said, “There are others behind me.” And then the smoke cleared when he said that, and I saw the others standing behind him. I said, “Who are you?” He said, “I am an elder. We all are elders.” I said, “Elders?” And he read my mind because I’m like, “There are just a few of you.” He said, “There are many here.” Before I could get it out of my mouth, they asked the next question. He said, “There are many of us here and many to come.”
And so I asked, I said, “So, where am I?” He said, “Look around and see.” I’m so curious, I’m asking him over and over again, and he just wouldn’t tell me. He just asked me--every time I asked him a question, he would turn around and say, “Look and see.” So, I looked around, and I saw a valley—great, big beautiful valley. It had grass on it, and it was just beautiful—I mean, green as green can get. And all the grass was just as beautiful and perfect. And I asked, I said, “What is this valley?” He said, “Look around some more.”
So, I looked to the right, and I saw a city—right there on the right-hand side of the valley. And I said, “What is this valley, and what is this city?” He said, “This valley’s called “Hope.” He said the city is called “The City of Elders.” And I was looking…beautiful! And it had the shine on it so much, it almost looked like gold, but it was just shining so strong. And before I could get it out of my mouth, to ask him what was that glare on it, He said, “That’s the glory of God.” He said, “God lights up the heavens.” He said, “Everything that’s in Heaven is of God. You don’t see anything that is not of God.” And I said, “Okay. Okay.”
And I was looking…beautiful! And it had the shine on it so much, it almost looked like gold, but it was just shining so strong. And before I could get it out of my mouth, to ask him what was that glare on it, He said, “That’s the glory of God.” He said, “God lights up the heavens.”
So he said, “Look to your right again.” I looked, and I saw the city. I saw the valley. And then I saw a beautiful, beautiful garden sitting out in front. And the garden was so beautiful that the plants that it had…it doesn’t exist on this earth. And the flowers were so beautiful—they don’t exist on this earth. And I asked him, I said, “What is that?” He said, “That’s the garden.” He said, “The garden before the temple of God.”
And so, I’m looking again. He said, “Look more to your right.” And I did. And I saw a river that was flowing—beautiful, clear, perfect flowing water. And I said, “What is this river?” He said, “This is the river—we call it Jordan.” I said, “Jordan?” I said, “Is that like the river Jordan on earth?” He said, “No. The river Jordan on earth is named after this river.” I said, “Oh, okay.”
He said, “Keep looking.” I looked again, and I looked to the right. I saw temples. And he said, “These are the temples of the elders.” And there were many of them! And I was just wondering, “What in the world are all these temples doing here!? Why do you have to have so many temples?” And he just looked at me with a smile. He said, “This is our temple here.” And so, he showed me. And we were standing in the middle of that temple, and I saw the table. And he said, “This is the feast area right here.” And I was looking. I said, “Man, this is nice!” That’s all I could say, but it was beautiful. He said that, “This is where we all come, and we sit and we feast after we see Father.” I said, “Okay.” So, I asked him, and I could still see it today—how the walls were, and how the table, and beyond it was a door.
And I asked him what was outside that door. He said, “Come and see.” So he opened the door, and I looked outside. And I saw another garden. I said, “Is this still the same garden?” He said, “No. No, no, no. No.” He said, “This is the garden right here that belongs to us.” And I looked, and I saw fruit. And I looked at the grass; and I wanted to make sure, and I was paying close attention. And as I looked at the grass, I wanted and find and see was like the grass of earth. But I did not see one dead blade of grass. All the grass was plumb green—just beautiful and thick—and you could see the nourishment in the grass.
I did not see one dead blade of grass. All the grass was plumb green—just beautiful and thick—and you could see the nourishment in the grass.
And I looked at the tree, and the tree—it looked like a big giant peach about this big [shows with his hands how large it was]. And I asked, “What is this tree?” He said, “This is the tree of ink.” He said, “This is a fruit of God.” I said, “Ink? What in the world is ink?” I found out that the angels eat it. And if the angels eat it, they take off and they sing praises to God. And if a human grabs it—or those that are in the Kingdom—if they grab [it] and they take one bite, they are drunk—drunk in the Spirit. They take two bites, they are out cold in the Spirit. The Spirit of God comes on them so strong. Every fruit is of God. Everything in the Kingdom of God is God. He is the Kingdom. Just like the fruits of the earth—we get our nourishment from it only because God made it for us.
Everything just started clicking. But he told me to come on, he wants to show me some more. So, we walked on, and I saw the Jordan on the other side—the river on the other side of the garden. And I asked, “What is that valley on the other side?” He said, “That is the Second. We call it the Second.” “The second what?” He said, “The second part of Heaven.” I said, “Second part of Heaven? So who are those on that side?” He said, “Those that are saved.” But I said, “So can they come over here on this side of the river?” He said, “No.” He said, “They can’t come on this side. Only when they enter into the Body can they come on this side.” And I was wondering, “What in the world is he talking about? And then what body?” He said, “The Body of Christ.” I said, “I thought they entered here because of the Body of Christ.” He said, “Yes, Christ opened up the door for all that believe.”
He said, “Listen.” He said, “There are three parts of Heaven.” He said, “There is the first, second, and third.” I said, “Okay?” He said, “The first is the courtyard.” Then he said, “The second is the temple.” Then he said, “The third is the altar, or you can call it the throne. That’s where the presence of God is at.” And I asked him, I said, “Well, can’t everyone who comes go before the presence of God?” He said, “No.” He said, “Because they haven’t received the Body.” I said, “Well, how is [it that] a man could get here in Heaven, but yet cannot see God?” He said, “Only through Jesus can man go to God.” I’m like, “I’m not understanding this. What do you mean? I thought that they got here because of Jesus.” He said, “Yes, they got here because of the faith that they believe.” He said, “But I’ll tell you, a man cannot die greater than he lives.” “Hmm? Explain it,” I asked him. Minalik said, “Whatever faith that you have when you leave this earth is the faith that you take with you.” He said, “You cannot enter in no-it-all. If you didn’t know all on earth,” he said, “then what kind of faith you have here is the same that you take in Heaven.” And when he said that, that scripture hit my mind—“What thou gain on earth you gain in Heaven. What thou loose on earth you also loose in Heaven.” So, I’m like, “How can they cross?” He said, “Because, the way that they would cross is because the elders go and teach in the Second. And the elders teach those in the Second, and then those that are in the Second teach those that are in the First.” Now, he explained to me the one, two, and three (i.e., First, Second, and Third). He said, “Those that die without the Holy Spirit are in the First because they entered in by believing.” He said, “Then those that receive the Holy Spirit are in the Second, but they didn’t go on in faith to grow and take on the Body of Christ.”
“There are three parts of Heaven. There is the first, second, and third. The first is the courtyard. The second is the temple. The third is the altar, or you can call it the throne. That’s where the presence of God is at.”
So I was wondering, “So, how do you take on the Body of Christ?” He said, “That’s the question I want you to ask. You take on the Body of Christ by allowing the Holy Spirit to control you. You must be possessed by the Holy Spirit. When we say possessed, we only think of demonic possession. But that isn’t the possession that God is talking about. The possession that God is talking about [is one in which] the Holy Spirit comes and controls you and takes over your body and your mind, that everything that you’re thinking is holy, everything that you become is holy. You do that,” he said, “by yielding more and more and more to the Spirit of God, not [by] just sitting there and not listening to Him.” Because everything that he was saying was making so much sense to me. And he said, “Those that are in the Third, they are those that become elders. They yield to the Spirit and continue to grow. They didn’t receive the Spirit and just stop and say, ‘OK, I have it.’ No. They seek Father even more that they will receive more, and more, and more of Him.”
And, man, this was sounding so good. So, I kept asking him more and more questions. And he told me, he said, “You keep your faith. Keep growing. Yield when the Spirit of God comes up over you. Don’t fight it. Don’t quench the Spirit.” He said, “Yield to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit isn’t trying to harm you. What he’s trying to do is control you where you can be open to more and more faith and be open to more and more spirituality.” And I said, “OK. How do you do that?” He said, “Just yield. The Holy Spirit will not force Himself upon you. You have to want more of the Spirit, and you just yield more and more and let the Holy Spirit take over you. A lot of people turn around, and when they receive the Spirit of God and they begin to speak in tongues, they accept that as the evidence and that’s all. That isn’t it. That’s the beginning. We are to receive that Spirit of God, and we are to open up our heart, open up our mind to believe everything in Him and then we turn around and be transformed by the renewing of our mind that we are more like God. That’s what Jesus did. Jesus yielded Himself completely to make Himself as one with God, that when He said, ‘When you’ve seen Me, you have seen the Father, because Me and My Father are one.’” And I understood what he was talking about by Him being the supreme and prime Example—that He yielded Himself to the Holy Spirit so much that God spoke, God saw, God did everything through Him. And it is for you, also, not just for Jesus alone. He was the Example. He paid the price that we can be right there in the seat with Him.
Now, Minalik ministered to me then, and it made so much sense. And he told me to continue to grow by yielding, and yielding, and yielding. He said, “Do not quench the Spirit of God, but be subject to God. Be submissive to God.” And I did. I did. And God brought forth so much, I thought that I would never ever come back. He did it for me for three days in the Kingdom. And every time Minalik was there, he showed me the City of Angels—not Los Angeles—the City of Angels that’s in Heaven. All the angels—at this one area now—they used to run through Heaven all free—but no more. Lucifer messed that up. They are in one area. And when they fly--their wings, you can hear it, it will be so strong. It will go “vvooph--vvooph.” And you’ll be like, “What in the world?” And you’ll look up, and it’s the angels. And the angels will sing. And when they will sing, the ink will rain. It will rain down on those that are in the Kingdom. And it will shower down, and they will praise God and worship God and just go off into the Spirit even more so. We think that we have enough when we receive the Holy Spirit. No. No, no, no. That is the beginning. That is the beginning to walk towards Christ. That is the beginning to walk in the light. And we can grow so much. And it’s the Teacher. It’s the Comforter. It is God. Communication—everything—there is no slack in God. I share this part… Like I said, when I got through talking to Minalik, he said Father told him to show me whatever I wanted to see in the Kingdom. You know, I didn’t say I wanted to see my mamma. I didn’t say I wanted to see my grandparents. I didn’t say I wanted to see anyone else. I said I wanted to see Father. I asked him, “Where is Father?” I asked a question that my mind couldn’t comprehend the answer.
Minalik showed me the temple, and he said, “Come on. Let’s go to the temple because Father said, ‘Don’t keep anything from him.’ Whatever you ask, He’ll give it to you. He’ll show it to you.” So we went to the temple—past the beautiful garden up to these steps. And on the right-hand side [there was a] waterfall that ran, that came from the throne. The doors were so tall, I can’t imagine how they end. And when I walked up there Minalik said, “This is the door right here.” And I said, “Okay.” And I turned around. I said, “Come on, Minalik. Let’s go in.” And when I turned around I and looked, Minalik was gone. He was way down there. He took off running. I’m (saying), “What are you doing?” He said, “It isn’t for me. It’s for you.” I didn’t know. I walked towards the door, and the doors opened—tall beautiful doors…perfect doors! And I walked in, and there was a corridor. And I walked into the corridor, and I saw on the left-hand side a book--huge—sitting on a pedestal. And I saw the angel standing there. He said, “Go look.” I walked over to it, and it was blank. I looked on both sides of the pages—it was blank. Beautiful book—beautiful, perfect book! Then all of a sudden, I saw my name written. And I fell to my knees, and I went to praising God. And I heard a voice say, “Can you see me?” I looked around. I said, “No.” Then it started getting clearer and clearer. He said, “Can you see me now?” I saw feet, and the feet were wounded but they were healed. And I was on my face before. He said, “Look up.” I said, “I can’t. I can’t take it.” I said, “I can’t take it.” He said, “Look up.” I saw standing there—beautiful. He showed me His hands--were they were wounded. I said, “Lord, have mercy.” And I began to worship Him. I stayed on my face. I would dare not look at His face. I couldn’t. But I know Who it was. I was my Lord—my Savior. He blessed me. He said, “Lynn, believe all that you’ve seen these last three days, and write them down.” This right here [shows an open journal] is what I call “the visit to Heaven”—years ago…all the writing. And I went back to my body. I laid there. [I] couldn’t move. I spoke no English for three days.
END OF TESTIMONY FROM LYNN VEASLEY (transcribed from his video Heaven is Real).
-----
I hope this has helped to wake you up and 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.

I recently listened to the following testimony that I felt was genuinely from the Lord, and I would like to share it with you here today. A brother named Lynn Veasley was awakened by the Father during the middle of the night. An angel appeared there in his room, and a hole appeared in the floor in front of him. When he looked back at his bed, he could see his body still sleeping there. Then he heard a voice tell him to go down into a hole beneath him there in his bedroom. His first reaction was to ask God to send someone else, like his aunt, who was strong in the Lord, and whom he considered to be better cut out for it. However, the Lord insisted that he go.
So the angel took him through that hole and down into the pit. They descended rapidly together, and as they did, he heard the roar of a multitude, which sounded to him like when a large crowd roars in a stadium at a sports event. However, as they descended further, the voices got louder and he realized they were not cheering, but were screaming in torment.
His experience upon arriving in hell was nothing short of terrifying. He looked around and the saw dirt walls and floor, like a cave. It was dry there. The angel told him to come, so they walked on and came to the top of a cliff inside a very large chamber. He looked down and saw an ocean of souls -- many, many souls. He also saw the demons that were down there.
The angel beckoned him to come further and they continued. He was afraid, because he figured he had died and the angel was taking him down to hell. So they went down until they reached the bottom. He looked again to ensure he was really seeing and hearing all this. Then he realized it was not a dream. There was no longer a chance to do what is right. He had made it to hell. He was afriad, but the angel told him not to fear. He said, "God wants to show you something." But he was still afraid.
The angel beckoned him to come, so they walked on. He saw so many souls, and they were being tormented. Then he looked to the right and he saw flames of fire that went all the way to the top of the chamber. And he saw people walking straight into the fire. And he saw a young man that he had once worked with, who was walking straight into the fire. Lynn stood in front of him and said, "No, you don't have to walk into that fire." The young man looked at him, and said something. Because he didn't have flesh, Lynn didn't know exactly what he said. But he was saying, "I have to. I have no choice."
Lynn said, "No, no, no! Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I'll call on Jesus for you. He will keep you from going into the fire." And the angel stepped in front of Lynn and said, "No. You cannot do anything for them. These are the ones who rejected Jesus on earth. But you can help those who are on the earth that they may accept Jesus. It's too late for these." Those souls have no other chance.
Lynn continued to look around and he saw hideous beasts with so much hatred and anger. One beast turned around and looked at Lynn. The angel stood beside Lynn, and the beast dropped his head. Lynn could feel the anger and hatred coming from the beast. Then the angel said, "It's time to go." And he grabbed Lynn's arm and they flew up out of there. As they flew upward, all he could think of was "I get another chance." The souls that are damned don't get another chance. We don't get another chance when we leave this earth.
When he came back into his body, he could do nothing but scream and holler, because his spirit had no control over his body. It had just entered back in. He cried with his spirit, but his mouth would not open. He was not asleep, he was back in his body. He looked around with his eyes, but his head could move. The numbness in his body was still there. It took a long time for him to regain control of his body. He just laid there thanking God that He did not leave him in that place. It was not a dream. He points out that when you look and see your body laying there, you know that is not a dream, but an out of body experience (OBE).
When he regained control of his body, he went back up to his prayer closet to speak to the Father. "Remember what you have seen and write it down. For it was not a dream, but it was something real that you have seen and experienced." So Lynn wrote it down all day. He cried, he wept, and he prayed for others to receive the Lord. He says, "This place if real and it's inside the earth." He didn't know it at that time, but he researched it in the Word and found it to be true. His message is, "Repent. Seek Father. None of these things on earth are worth your salvation."
He continues, "Believe. God is real. I know that there are many religions, but there's none that send you the comforter, but one -- Christianity as we call it. But we call it having faith in God. Believe unto Jesus as your Lord and Savior, believing that God raised Jesus from the dead the third day, and you shall be saved. If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that God raised Jesus from the dead, Father will come and make His abode with you."
"That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." (Rom 10:9-13)
"These are the last days of this world. These are the last times that the Gentiles will be able to cry out to Jesus our Lord...Let us not let it pass us. Seek Him, His righteousness, His love. Seek Him. Time is winding up. Seek ye the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you."
"God is real. And I pray that you will repent, that you will turn to Him and seek Him before time winds up, because once He turns back to the Jews, that time is up. May the Lord bless you. May the Lord keep you. I'm Lynn and may God bless you forever that you may know Him. Amen."

END OF TESTIMONY FROM LYNN VEASLEY.
I hope this has helped to wake you up and remind you of the reality of hell and our need to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
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.

I wrote in my recent article James Agboola Revelation of Heaven and Hell, of a testimony from a brother who actually died and came back to tell about it. His spirit came out of his body and he went to the place where others have gone and never come back. From this brother’s testimony there are a number of lessons about three different topics, including the Kingdom of God, the kingdom of darkness, and life after death. In this article, I will use his own words in summary of the lessons learned about the last of those three topics -- life after death.
James was also shown about life after death. Just because your name is in the Book of Life does not mean it can never be removed if you go back to the world. If your Bible becomes covered with dust, and you begin to forsake the assembling of yourselves together for worship and preaching of the Word of God, the breaking of bread and prayer, and you begin to make friends with the world, you are going out of the way. You may not even realize it, but it’s true. You are qualifying yourself to be an outcast.
For the moment you die, immediately a road will appear and you will enter the road. Immediately as your spirit goes out of the body, you will proceed on the road. And the only thing that will come to your memory is the Word of God. Every word that is in the Bible, everything we have heard from the Bible is what will come to you as a witness. “Thou shall remember the Lord your God. Thou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your substance. Be ye holy, for I am holy. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not commit fornication.” Every word of God is what will keep coming to you fresh.
There are a lot of people, a crowd of people all marching in one direction, both man and woman, both young and old facing the same direction. As they are going, it’s every man for himself. Nobody can stand for you. Nobody can speak on your behalf. You are on your own. Everybody keeps moving toward the judgment of separation. There is a junction where the road splits in two. On the right side, the road has a very narrow gate, and the road inside was narrow. On the left is a very big gate. The road is broad and wide. Narrow is the way that leads to the Kingdom of God. Broad and wide is the way that leads to hell and destruction.
You may be a Christian now before you die, and you know that where you’re supposed to go is the narrow gate, because your Bible has told you that narrow is the way that leads to the Kingdom of God. You know you should enter by the narrow gate, for that is where you belong, but if you don’t live for the Lord and run the race properly, you will not be able to enter that narrow gate when you come to the junction. You will have no control over your own two legs. Keep in mind that very few people pass on the narrow road, but there are throngs of people on the wide road. As they approach hell, both young and old, they are wailing, crying in torment, pleading for forgiveness, repenting, in great torment. As they get closer to the pit of hell, their cries become louder, as they are begging Jesus Christ for a second chance, because now they believe that truly hell exists. Now they believe that truly, all the things God hates are true. Now they have believed. They are ready to make a change. Just for a second, for them to go back and change. But God said it’s too late.
The Lord showed James that many of those people in hell are those who called themselves so-called ‘Christians.’ While on earth they claimed holiness and righteousness. But because of what they considered “little, little, little, little things, small, small, small things,” which they said “it doesn’t matter,” that is why many of them are in hell. Now they believe. They want to change. But it’s too late. It is too late. When the Lord Jesus Christ created man, He created man in His own image. And His glory was upon him. But His enemy, the devil, has now added a lot of packaging, packaging of the glory He gave man, packaging of earrings, necklaces, attachments, all of them. God says, “My eye cannot behold it once anything artificial.” When the Lord created women, He did not put a hole in their ear. But they have put one there by themselves, which God did not put there. Once anything artificial has been added, no matter what it is, His face cannot look at them. His face cannot behold them. And as for those who end up in hell, they will be set free on the day, on any day that the Lord Jesus Christ will cease to be God. That is the day they will be set free from hell. So, on the day He will cease to be God, that is the day they will be set free from hell. There is no more hope for them.
The coming of the Lord is not soon anymore. He is coming now. He has waited for so long. He is coming now. Prepare for His coming. Without holiness, no one will enter the Kingdom of God, no matter what they do. Walk before Him and be thou perfect. Even if you have been saved, you have to keep running.
If you are a Christian who has backslidden, don’t let the devil rejoice over you, that you now fall in the hand of the devil. Carry your Bible. Open to Psalm 51. Begin to pray. Read it and begin to pray for mercy. Continue to ask God for mercy. Continue to ask God for mercy.
The Lord is so merciful! Heaven is real. Hell is real. People are dying in their thousands and going to hell. Anyone who has experienced hell would not even wish their worst enemy on earth to go to that place where they are weeping, crying, waiting for another chance to repent, and it is too late.
The Lord gave brother James a second chance in order to warn us of that horrible place. Tell God now, “I surrender all.” He will care for you. He knows what we need. God loves us. God cares for us. There is no other love like His. So let us hold fast our faith. Let us hold fast that which God has said in the Bible and believe. And God will see us through.

This is a revelation of what Sister Ayodele Sawyerr from Sierra Leone saw in Heaven and Hell. I have spoken with a godly sister in Christ, who knows sister Ayo, named Claire Andoun Atongo. She says that sister Ayo is very reserved, and was training the sisters in prayer. Claire was always together with her praying, and said she is a mature believer in Christ. Here is her testimony:
When sister Ayo saw the Lord, she said He was shining as a Light. She said, if you were to take all the energy in the world and put it all together, it would not compare with the Light of Christ.
Time is Up
He told her that the rapture is imminent. He said, "Time is up!
Time is up! There is no time left. Soon and very soon the rapture is
about to take place."
The State of the Church on Earth
He took her into a heavenly garden,
where everything was in order and showed her on a screen the church in
Sierre Leone. He showed her a very large denomination, and said he
didn't even recognize it. He showed her a highly regarded preacher in
that denomination, and said He didn't recognize him. The man was
committing sexual immorality with the women in the church. She said
that nobody there in Sierre Leone was preaching holiness, they were
mainly preaching prosperity.
And the Lord showed her a
woman of God that she had great regard for. "When she stood to minister
the Word of God, you feel you can get the Word of God. He said, 'She is
my daughter. But look at the way she appears in front of people. Look
at the hair attachments, the short skirts; the code of dressing is wrong
to God. She's preaching the Word, but the dressing, the [hair]
attachments...' Then the Lord said, 'Go and tell her I sent you, and
that if she does not repent and remove these things she is putting on --
these attachments, this makeup, these things -- she will not make
it.'" She was shocked.
He said, "I AM that I AM that I AM. Before Abraham was, I AM. I created the heavens and the earth. This thing that I'm telling you to go and tell them, they will not believe you. Even your own family will not believe you." He said, "Many will doubt. And by the time they realize that I sent you, it should have been late for them." She said she is seeing it, because even her own blood brother ignores her when she tells him her testimony.
Afterward the Lord showed her about two ladies, who were preparing to go to a church service (see 49:00 in video). The older one was dressed modestly and never put on anything. She came to the younger one's door and beckoned her to come. But the younger one just said, "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait." And Jesus said to Ayo, "I want you to look." The Lord said to Ayo as she watched this on the screen, "Look!" All of a sudden the lady came out, and what Ayo saw was that the makeup was so thick that she looked like a Jezebel. And the blouse she put on was like an empty bra. You could see the hair attachments. You could see the way the lady dressed. She just looked like the Queen of the Coast.
She said the Lord was angry. His countenance changed. His tone of talking changed in that particular area. He said, "Look! They have idolized these things. With all those things, they can no longer serve Me. Go and tell them, My daughter, 'If anyone be a woman of God, no matter the kind of congregation. If she is putting on these things, she will not make it. She will go to hell. They have taken these things more than Me. With all these things, women can't praise Me, women can't worship Me, women can't seek Me with all these things." Once again, Sister Ayo was shocked, and said, "God!"
She said that when He held her hand, it was a giant holding the hand of an ant, because it was so big. The sweetness she felt when He held her hand, she forgot about everything in the world. She said that when you see the Lord Jesus, because of His glory and His mighty power, you cannot stand.
Jesus also told her that any church that does not believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, any church that does not believe in the Holy Spirit is going straight to hell. He said, "Go tell those who are blaspheming, 'Anybody who is blaspheming against the Holy Ghost, pardon is not their own. Pardon is not allowed.'"
Then He showed her the churches where people used to worship God, so she could see the kind of dressing the people put on. The church is a very big something. Sister Ayo said, "Some of them are just half naked." The Lord said, "I want you to look, so that you can explain exactly to the women." She said there are more women than men in hell. She says, "Most of the women because of their dressing, it will take them to hell. They think that if they don't dress like this, they will not be attractive to men, and will not find a husband. Seek ye first! When you put God first in your life, He knows what you need."
The Lord showed her the ways the brothers dressed in the Church. They are wearing their trousers down low on their hips, exposing their hind cleavage. They are exposing their chests with open shirts, so you can see their chests and the hair on their chests. She said, "They are not making it to heaven." It looked as if the anointing was with them when they worshiped. Some of them were speaking in tongues, some were rolling, some were falling down, some were shouting as if the anointing was there. But the Lord said that this was not His anointing, because He does not enter into such churches. He said, "I am not in their midst. I do not go into churches like this -- people dressed half naked, exposing their bodies." He said, "Your body is the temple of God. You should live a blameless and holy life." Then she said, "I realized that churches today that say they felt the power of God; because of the way they dress, Jesus does not enter into those type of churches. The anointing they receive is not from God."
The Seven Columbian Youths
Then at 1:23:01 – 1:24:07, she testified that in heaven, Jesus said to her, “The Seven Columbian Youths – I, the Lord, showed them heaven and hell. So go and tell people that – if they do not believe what they are saying – I sent them.” She did not even know about the Seven Columbian youths, because their testimony is on the internet, and she does not access the internet. In Africa, people typically access the internet through their mobile phones, and she said that all she knows how to do on her phone is make and receive calls. Therefore, this message to her about the Columbian youths is all the more credible, since she was previously ignorant of them.
If you have not read or listened to the testimony of the Seven Columbian youths, I strongly urge you to do so. I have already written about it on a separate post. The amazing thing was that on the same day I received my first negative comment on that post from a reader, who did not believe what the Columbian youths were saying, I happened to listen to Sister Ayo's testimony. I did not know that the Lord had said anything to her about the Seven Columbian youths, until I listened to her testimony. So when I heard that he said that, I was able to communicate that back to the skeptical reader.
Confirmation
She said, "Lord, please reveal this to someone else to confirm this thing is really happening to me." She wasn't talking to anyone about this, except her husband, but just keeping notes. So then one night she spoke to a sister, who told her, "At around 1:00 or 1:30 AM, something woke me up. A voice spoke to me, and a light filled the whole room. And I knew something was happening to you. A fear came over me." And the sister had to leave her house to go to her uncle's house to sleep.
In heaven she saw the buildings and angels, and was admiring the angels. The Lord asked why she was admiring the angels. He said, "They want to be like you. You are made out of Me in My image. And I have given you a free will."
The Book of Life
She saw the Book of Life near the great big gates of 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.
The apostle John wrote: "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)
The Throne of God and the Twenty-four Elders
She was in a great hall in heaven and heard the voices saying, "Holy, holy, holy," with one unique voice. They were kneeling down. Then she knelt down and joined them. She was told to look up and saw three glorious thrones and three golden crowns. Then she saw the holy Bible, which was too big for her to hold in her hand. The glory was so thick you could not see through it. The Lord pointed, and said, "This is the throne room of My Father. These are the twenty-four elders." The others that she was kneeling with were the twenty-four elders. He said, "Whenever you worship Me, I feel good."
He said, "Go and tell those worshipers [on earth]: If they think that their voices will carry them to heaven, if they are not living holy, they will not make it to heaven. No matter what their confession. No matter if they do signs and wonders. No matter the crowds. If they have these things on that they are dressed with, they will not make it to heaven. If you are not holy, you will not make it to heaven."
Hell
She was taken by the Lord to hell, where she saw people she had known on earth, including a Muslim man, who refused to accept Jesus Christ during his lifetime. She also saw a bar in hell, where men were sitting at it drinking. As they were drinking, she saw it was an acid they were drinking. And their backs were falling off, and the flesh on their cheeks was falling off. You could see their skeleton underneath. But then it would come back onto their bodies.
She said she heard a male voice from a distance calling her, "Ayo! Ayo! Ayo, I did not want you to come to this place! Go back! This place is not for you! Go back! Go and tell your brothers that you accept Jesus as Lord. Go and tell them! This place is not for you!"
She wondered, "Who is this who knows me, who knows I have two brothers?" Then she saw her father there in front of her. The fire brought him up in front of her and she was shocked to see him. She cried, "Daddy!" He was shouting at her to go back and tell her brothers that they should accept Jesus, and that this place was not for her. She wept to see him there. He had been fair in complexion and a very handsome man. But the fire and torture and punishment had totally disfigured him.
As her father was saying this, Jesus had been silent, just watching her, but then He spoke. He said, "My daughter, your father should not have gone to this place. He had all the opportunities to repent and come to Me, and accept Me as Lord, but he failed to do that." As the Lord was saying that, she was just crying to see how her father had been tortured and how he looked. She was crying out to Him, "Lord, have mercy on him!" But he turned to her and said, "There is no mercy here."
Then the Lord began to explain to her what brought her father into that place. He said, "One: your father was an altar boy to the Catholic church." She explained that she came from a strong Catholic background. The Lord said, "He was seeing all the demonic things and the evil things that the reverend father was doing there. He was compromising. And secondly, he was a society man. And thirdly he was a drunkard. He knew there was someone like Me called Jesus. He had all the opportunities to accept Me, but he never did." As the Lord was speaking, she fell to her knees and grabbed his legs, weeping and crying. She was shouting, "Lord, have mercy on my father! Take him out of this place! This place is not meant for him, Lord!" She was about to say, "Lord, You can take him out of this place and put me there."
Then as she was crying and kneeling down before the Lord, there she saw the most extraordinary thing she had ever seen in her life. She saw the crucifixion and how they beat the Lord. She saw the backside of the body of Jesus. She saw the crown of thorns that were pushed into his head. The thorns went inside His head. She said you would not be able to stand that pain. She saw the blood flowing from His wounded left side. She had been weeping for her father, but she started weeping for the Lord. She saw Him battered and beaten and dislocated. She felt the pain of the Lord and cried.
Be Holy
Then He took her out of hell and she found herself in a rocky place, and she was exhausted. She said that up until this time, the Lord was very, very handsome and unique to look at. Then Jesus told her, “I have shown you all these things. No matter who you are are. No matter what you preach. Be ye holy as I am holy." And He repeated, "Be ye holy as I am holy.”
She said the Lord turned. His whole countenance and demeanor changed,
and there she saw that God is a God of wrath. Jesus, who was talking to
her, is a God of wrath. As the anger ignited in Him, she said you
would not like to see the Lord when He looks like this. He shouted with
anger and red eyes, as He emphasized holiness, “Go and tell the people of the world, ‘Without holiness! Without holiness, no man will see God.’” (see 1:51:30) She said that when He said the words, "Without holiness,"
it was like an earthquake was taking place right where she was, and
like the ground was opened up underneath her and swallowed her up.
My
friend, this may seem like a different Jesus than you believe in. But
this is the same Jesus we read about in the Bible. He said that zeal
for His Father's house consumes Him. That's why he cleansed the temple,
and He is once again cleansing the temple. The corruption and sin in
the church brings pain to His heart. And as the apostle Paul wrote to
the Hebrews, "Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be
holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord." Holiness is
not just something we receive positionally from God through Christ, it
is something we are commanded to pursue, because we cannot see God
without it.
Following these experiences, she said she has had no desire for food, water, or sleep. And she said that even though she had not been eating, drinking water, or sleeping, she had more energy than those who had been eating, drinking, and sleeping. She assured her listeners that this is not a made up story from her imagination. She does not have time to go and read these books, or to sit and think up something like this. The only thing she reads is her Bible, worshiping and praising God.
The Lord emphasized holiness in this revelation. She said, “We have to strive to walk in holiness...Let us live a holy life -- a life that will please God. Let us live like Job -- like the Lord boasted of him, 'Look at my servant. He is blameless.' Let us be blameless before the Lord, because at any time the rapture could take. I pray we will all make it in the rapture."

In another blog of mine, called The Four Tallest Homes in Heaven (see here), I told of a conservative Presbyterian Pastor
from Korea, named Yong Park, who was taken to Heaven and Hell when he
died tragically in 1987. He was shown why some saints are richly
rewarded in Heaven. These included those saints with the four tallest
homes in heaven, two of whom are John Wesley and D.L. Moody. Both of these men labored tirelessly for the Lord in preaching the gospel to their generations in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries respectively.
As I mentioned in my blog called The Lord's Day (see here),
about keeping Sundays holy, both John Wesley and D.L. Moody believed
and taught that we should keep the Sabbath, according to the fourth
commandment. You can read Wesley's position on the Sabbath (see here), as well as Moody's (see his view on the Fourth Commandment here). And they both believed that the Christian Sabbath is on Sundays, not Saturdays (see my blog about that here), which was their constant practice.
Today I would like to share an excerpt from a book, called The Shorter Life of D.L. Moody, regarding his deathbed experience. It was glorious!
"When D. L. Moody, the American evangelist, was dying, his son was at his bedside and heard him say in slow and measured words, 'Earth recedes: heaven opens before me.' His son’s impulse was to arouse him from what he thought was a dream. 'No, this is no dream, Will,' he said. 'It is beautiful!…If this is death, it is sweet!…God is calling me and I must go.'
"Later he exclaimed, 'This is my triumph; this is my coronation day! I have been looking forward to it for years.' Then his face lit up, and he said joyfully, 'Dwight! Irene! I see the children’s faces!' referring to his two grandchildren, whom God had taken home within the past year. Again he said later, 'This is my coronation day! It’s glorious!'"
There is much more to his testimony that's worth reading, and it's all posted a on the Consumed in Christ website (see here). I encourage you to read the whole testimony!
I also highly recommend another web page called Death Bed experiences (see here). It is an excellent article posted on Bible Guidance.
One other article, called Stories of Faith (see here), has fifty stories of God’s people down
the ages, "who have faced death with an unshakeable faith and a triumphant
spirit." There are thousands of such stories down through history, but these are worth telling for posterity to hear.
Today there is so much fascination with NDE's (Near Death Experiences) and OBE's (Out of Body Experiences). I think that any research on these topics should include these sites I've just mentioned that contain stories of famous people who died. There is a stark contrast between the horrible and terrifying death of the wicked, and the sweet and peaceful death of the righteous. This is because the righteous know Jesus Christ as their Savior and are ready for the end of their earthly life. They have made peace with God and received the gift of eternal life through their faith in Christ. My friend, please make very sure you are ready, because we all have an appointment we will definitely not miss, which is our appointed day to die, and we have no idea when that will be.
