Catherine Hughes' Second Encounter in Heaven

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

Testimony of Catherine Hughes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Then Jesus brought me back to my bedroom."  

END OF CATHERINE HUGHES' TESTIMONY

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Testimony of Catherine Hughes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

END OF CATHERINE'S TESTIMONY

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

Closing Words

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lynn Veasley's Revelation of Heaven

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.

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

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

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

Angelica Zambrano Fourth Testimony of Heaven and Hell

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Speak Up

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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