This is the testimony of a young man from South Africa named Sakhile, who was given a trip to heaven by the Lord in 2015 when he was fifteen. There he saw things that are inexpressible and full of glory. He saw mountains of various sizes, some of which reached to the sky. He saw trees of various colors that we have here on earth, and even colors we don't have on earth. He saw beautiful flowers that speak. All the animals that we have here on earth are found in heaven, except that in heaven they are all harmless.
He saw holy angels, some that we the size of men, others the size of trees, and some the size of mountains, as well as ones as big or bigger than the earth. They were all flying to and fro busily. They came to him singing and then said to him, "Welcome! Welcome!" And they were all smiling.
He saw the Holy City, which was made of gold, glass and diamonds, and he entered through its tall, golden gates. He walked on the streets of gold inside the Holy City. He met Jesus there, who had nail holes in his hands and feet and was wearing a white robe with brown sandals and a purple sash around His chest.
The Lord showed him the River of Life that was so pure and clear that you feel thirsty just looking at it. The Lord told him to wash his face with its water, which he did by splashing some of the water on his face with his hands. His face dried off immediately afterward without the use of a towel. Then the Lord gave him a mirror to look at himself, and he saw that his face was very bright without any marks at all, and his eyes were very bright. Everyone in heaven looks new, and nobody has wrinkles, glasses, gray hair, or sickness. They all look as if they are in their twenties and not more than thirty years old. Even the Lord Jesus Himself looked like He was in His twenties or at the most thirty.
The Lord took him to a place where he saw thousands of angels all gathered together in one place like a great choir. As soon as he and the Lord arrived, the music began playing. He did not see any instruments, but the music was everywhere and he could hear all the instruments very clearly right in his ears. The angels' voices were amazingly beautiful as they sang. He was led to sing along with them and he was given a beautiful voice to sing with. In fact, he was given several voices to sing with, and he sang for what seemed like forever.
At the end of his trip to heaven, the Lord led him to the gates of the city and told him he needed to go back to the earth and tell everyone what he saw. He was commanded to tell everyone, both those who believe and those who do not believe. He was told that when he speaks to anyone about it, if they do not believe him, then he should go on to the next person. He was told that this message is not for one particular church, but for all the churches.
Then he told the Lord that he wasn't going back to the earth, but that he was going to remain there in heaven, so the Lord asked him why. He replied that on earth there is suffering, sickness, and pain, and he was tired of that. But the Lord told him in a very gentle voice that he had a mission to fulfill for God back on earth and when his work is finished, then the Lord will take him back up to heaven forever. He agreed to go back to earth, and as he walked toward the gates, they opened for him. As he walked through, he turned to wave at the Lord and the angels. When he turned to leave, and then he awoke back into his body on earth.
There is so much more to this glorious testimony that you should hear. This young man is genuine and speaks so articulately that you are sure to understand him as long as you understand English. He presents the whole experience in such a clear, concise way that you will enjoy every minute of it. I hope you will take time to watch it, because you won't regret it if you do. Here is the link as well as the video itself below:

Once you have watched it, you need to prepare yourself to go there, too. This place is not just for Sakhile but for all who will believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. He wanted Sakhile to tell everyone, and you are one of those the Lord wanted him to tell. The reason the Lord wanted Sakhile to tell you is that the Lord 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 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.

Today I want to share with you the testimony of a young man named Sakhile from South Africa, regarding the time the Lord Jesus showed him hell. He saw himself walking on a cloud and Jesus came to him and asked him if he would like to see another place. Sakhile gladly accepted the invitation, thinking he was going to see another part of heaven, because previously the Lord had shown him heaven. He did not know the Lord was about to show him hell.
So the Lord introduced him to an angel that was with him, which was the angel Gabriel, who had gold hair and blue eyes. With Jesus on one side of him and Gabriel on the other side of him, they took his hand. An opening appeared in front of them and they went into it. Within about five seconds after they entered the opening, they were in hell. It was extremely dark, but since Jesus and Gabriel were with him, there was some light around them.
While he was in hell, he saw that very scary scorpions, snakes, and spiders were crawling on the ground. They were so scary that he wished he could float above the ground to avoid coming into contact with them. But when he looked down and saw the feet of Jesus and Gabriel, he knew those creatures wouldn't dare to come near their feet, so he felt safe.
He saw people in cages, and demons were torturing them. He could hear their bones breaking as the demons crushed them and tormented them. The people were screaming and crying, but there were no tears. In hell there are no tears, because it is a very dry place where there is no water. The people wish for water, but there is not one drop of water there.
Some people called out to Sakhile asking him to get them out of there. Jesus told him that in hell, everyone wishes they could go back to earth to fix their situation, so they wouldn't have to go back to hell, but they cannot. Although Jesus normally smiles a lot, in hell He didn't smile. He looked sad and was even crying. He asked Sakhile to tell everyone about this place once he would come back to the earth, so that people wouldn't go to this place.
Below you will find the video of Sakhile's testimony, which is also at this link.

I hope you will take time to watch this important video and heed the warnings in it. Hell is real! It's a terrible place, which was not created for people but for the devil and his angels. It is more scary than any scary movie you have ever seen. And worst of all it lasts forever. Once you enter hell after you die, there is no way out whatsoever.
If you care about your soul, then please repent of all your sins right now and put your faith in Jesus Christ to save you. He came from heaven to earth, died on the cross for you, shed His sinless blood and paid the price for all your sins. He rose again on the third day and He's alive forever more. He loves you with an everlasting love and doesn't want you to go to hell, so please don't go there. It's up to you whether you go there, which is where we all deserve to go, or accept the free gift of salvation that Jesus Christ is offering you.

I'd like to tell you about the places that God has prepared, and the preparation that is needed to ensure we end up in the right place.
Places Prepared by the Father
Jesus taught that the places immediately on His right and left in heaven were prepared by His Father.
Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father." (Mat 20:23, NIV)
Places Prepared by the Son
Just as there are places prepared by the Father, there are places prepared by Jesus.
Jesus said, "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, so that where I am, you may be also." (Joh 14:2-3, MKJV)
Jesus taught that He went to heaven to prepare a place for us there. In this instance, the place for us that He was referring to was a mansion or dwelling place.
He said that He has prepared the kingdom of heaven for His sheep since the creation of the world.
"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.'" (Mat 25:34).
It's important to note that God prepared His kingdom for the righteous since the world was created. This earth is just a temporary testing ground, but the kingdom of heaven is eternal.
The apostle wrote to the Hebrews that God has prepared a city for all who live by faith in Him.
"Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them." (Heb 11:16)
Place prepared for the devil and his angels
Just as there are places prepared for the saints in heaven, there is a place prepared for the devil and his angels. In that place there is everlasting fire.
"Then He also shall say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels." (Mat 25:41).
Jesus taught that the wicked will go to the same place that is prepared for the devil and his angels. It was not meant for humans but for the devil and the demons. Yet when people follow satan, they must go to the same place where he goes, which is into eternal hell fire.
"And the Devil who deceived them was cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were . And he will be tormented day and night forever and ever." (Rev 20:10)
Our Preparation for Heaven
Even we ourselves must prepare for the Lord. The great multitude in heaven will one day shout:
"Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready." (Rev 19:7)
The Consequences of Failing to Prepare Ourselves
The Lord also warned about the terrible consequences of failing to prepare.
"And that slave who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes." (Luk 12:47, NASB)
Notice He said that the unworthy slave did not prepare or act in accord with his Master's will. Therefore this is what the Master of that slave will do:
"The master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers." (Luk 12:46, NASB)
Closing Words
So the Lord spoke of places prepared by His Father, such as the thrones at his right and left hand. He also spoke of places that He was going to prepare for us in heaven, which are mansions or dwelling places. We know that God has prepared a heavenly city for those who walk by faith. He has prepared the kingdom of heaven since the creation of the world for the righteous whom He has blessed.
The Lord said that everlasting fire is prepared for the devil and his angels, where they, as well as all the unrighteous, will be thrown. Indeed, even the Master's servants who know His will and do not act in accordance with it will be thrown into that terrible place. According to Scripture, ultimately death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire, along with the devil, the beast, and the false prophet.
I trust that this study has encouraged you to prepare yourself so that you end up in the right place. No matter which place you go to, that is where you will all throughout eternity. Please take this seriously, since your eternal destination is at stake.

Let me share with you the amazing story of a man from New Zealand named Ian McCormack, who died and saw heaven and hell. It's a true story of how he was traveling the world, surfing, and pursuing peace through sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. But he wasn't finding the peace he was searching for in those things.
Eventually he found himself on the island of Mauritius (in the Indian Ocean just off the coast of Madagascar), and one night he went out scuba diving for crayfish out beyond the coral reef. There beneath the water he was stung five times by the deadly box jellyfish, which was excruciatingly painful and felt like thousands of volts of electricity. The sting from one of them is enough to kill a man, but he was stung five times. Through this experience he eventually died as the medical personnel were trying to save his life.
But just before he died, as he was eventually being transported to the hospital by ambulance, his life flashed before him. He saw scenes from his childhood. The next moment, he saw was his mother on her knees praying and he was shaken. She was saying what she told him as a fourteen-year old boy when he walked away from Church. She said, "Ian, no matter how far from God you may be, no matter what you've done wrong, if you call to God from your heart, God will hear you, and God will forgive you."
In that ambulance, as he was experiencing death rattles, he said, "God, if you're real, help me to pray," and the Lord's prayer appeared before his eyes. The first phrase of the prayer he saw was "forgive us our sins." And one by one, as he prayed from his heart each part of the prayer that was shown to him, that part then disappeared and he saw more and more parts of it that he had once learned as a child, but since forgotten.
In this manner, he had made peace with God, by sincerely turning from sin and asking the Lord for forgiveness. He promised to do the Lord's will and honor Him all the days of his life, if the Lord would get him through this ordeal. An incredible peace entered his heart like he had never experienced before, and which has not left him since then.
After he died, he experienced the horrors of hell, and later after crying out to God in hell asking why he was there, a brilliant light came down and drew him out of darkness. After ascending through a tunnel of light, he then found himself standing before the glorified Lord Jesus Christ, who was wearing dazzling white robes and had His arms outstretched. The Lord was emanating an incredibly bright light all around Him, and His face was so bright that Ian could not make out the features on it. Wave after wave of love was emanating into him from the Lord. Ian was weeping and wondering, "What am I doing here? How could God love me?" The Lord said, "Ian, God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all." (1 Jn 1:5). And the Lord showed him that all his sins had been forgiven when he was in that ambulance. Christ's blood had not just washed away some of his sins, but all of them.
As Ian looked into the Lord's face, it was like looking into eternity within eternity. It was like the cosmos, galaxies, and star systems were coming out of His face. He knew that if the Lord would speak, galaxies would come into existence. His hair was pure white and shoulder length. Out of His face came light that when it touched him he felt instant purity, childlike innocence, and holiness. The Lord gave Ian a glimpse of eternity, in which Ian got to see what heaven and the new earth is like.
The Lord gave him the option to stay or return to earth. Initially he didn't think he had anyone on earth who loved him that he needed to go back to, but then the Lord showed him his mother and a myriad of countless people behind her that the Lord loved. The Lord wanted Ian to tell them about Him. Ian then said, "I must go back!" The Lord then granted his request to return to earth, saying, "Ian, if you go back, you must see things in a new light from a heavenly perspective." He then sent him back through the tunnel and into his body. When he entered his body in the morgue, the doctors and nurses were freaking out, because he had just come back from the dead after being gone for 15 to 20 minutes.
Original Testimony
Ian is a very precious brother in Christ, who has been faithfully sharing his testimony and preaching the gospel around the world for the past thirty five years or so. He has been on CBN's 700 Club and Revelation TV. However, the following video is the first ever recording of Ian's testimony, which was filmed in 1988 at a farmers house in New Zealand.
The Perfect Wave - A Glimpse of Eternity
A major motion picture has been produced about his story called The Perfect Wave, which you can watch below.
Resources
Ian has an excellent website called A Glimpse of Eternity. There you will find his testimony available in many other languages. He even has a version of it with subtitles for the deaf. He has also posted there excellent teachings of his in both video and written format.
Closing Words
Perhaps you have been searching for peace in all the wrong places like Ian was. Perhaps you can relate to his story in one way or another, but you don't know Jesus. You haven't met Him personally, but you are being drawn to Him now that you've heard this testimony. If that's you, then remember what Ian's mother said to him. "No matter how far from God you may be, no matter what you've done wrong, if you call to God from your heart, God will hear you, and God will forgive you." Please go to the section at the end of this article called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?" Follow the link to that article and after you have read it, I challenge you to pray and invite the Lord into your heart to be your Lord and Savior.
Meanwhile, I hope this has helped you, no matter who you are, no matter what your situation is, whether you are a backslidden Christian that's drifted away from God, or someone who knows the Lord but needs to draw closer to Him. Let the Lord speak to you through this testimony. He's calling us all to repent of our sins, turn from darkness, and seek Him with all of our heart. I hope you will share this article with someone else who needs to see it.

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.

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."

The Dream Given to Sister Naomi
On June 19, 2017, the Lord gave her a message from Psalm 24 and afterward he asked her to add Psalm 25 to it. So she read those two Psalms. That evening she went to the church service, and after church she told them she asked the Lord to give her a message again. So the Lord told her to read those two chapters again. After reading Psalm 25 she realized she was so sleepy she couldn't do anything. She heard a voice saying to put the Bible down and sleep, so she did so.
She does not know how long she had been sleeping when she suddenly appeared somewhere. She saw sister Claire lying on a sick bed, but at the same time sister Claire was also standing close to her. Sister Claire said, "Behold," and sister Naomi saw her appear on a screen. She said, "Have you seen? When I was on my sick bed about to die, the prayers of the saints that were praying for me and asking the Lord that if I had sinned that He should forgive me -- have you seen it?" And she made Naomi understand that even while she was lying on her bed, she was also pleading for forgiveness of sin, because the Lord made her understand that she had sinned. And on the screen, Noami saw some of the saints were praying for her, including her father and mother and other saints who were praying for her. She saw another group, too, whom she thought were saints that sister Claire used to fellowship with or pray with. She thought they were praying for her, but she saw that in their minds they were saying, "She's getting what she deserves."
Claire told her to "Look at the angels who are preparing and waiting on me to take me away." And Naomi saw that even while she and others were praying for her sins, the angels were waiting to take her away. And she realized that truly they took her along and they entered into the clouds. Naomi kept looking on and she saw that the heavens had opened. While looking at her, she said, "Wow! You have arrived." So Naomi decided to join her, but sister Claire said, "No. You cannot just enter like that."
And she saw that sister Claire, with whom she was chatting, was changing -- her skin and her nature, her body, and everything was changing. So Naomi was looking at her and telling her, "Wow, you look so elegant and so beautiful!" Naomi wanted to go along with her, but she said, "No, you haven't finished your work, so you can't just enter that place."
And while she was talking to her, Naomi realized heaven had come so close to her that she can't describe it. Sister Claire asked her, "Heaven has come so close to you. Do you understand why heaven has come so close to you?" And she told her, "Heaven has come so close to you. I'm going to explain it to you. Heaven has come so close, as a matter of fact, the Lord has brought heaven so close to men."
Claire made her understand that we used to think heaven was so far away from us, but now it's not like that. Heaven is so close to us, because the Lord is revealing mysteries to us. Some things we previously thought were not sins, the Lord has revealed them to us. We now have much knowledge about heaven and how to get there. And Claire made her understand there were so many things we thought were not sins, but the Lord has made us realize it, even some things that go on in matrimonial homes.
And sister Claire made her understand that she didn't go to heaven by her own merits. It was the grace of God that took her there. It wasn't by her own doing or her works. And she made her understand that the Lord isn't coming for just anyone who maybe calls upon His name, but rather someone who does the will of the Father and keeps His commandments.
Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (Matt 7:21, NIV)
"In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome..." (1 John 5:3, NIV)
"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." (Rev 22:14, KJV)
Then she saw a number of people in a group there, and sister Claire said she should go tell them that she's not in hell. So while sister Naomi was going, she saw that sister Claire's father and mother were in the crowd, so she told them that she was not in hell. And sister Claire told her that the Lord even revealed to a pastor in the Heaven Seekers Church named Albert that she was not in hell, but he didn't believe it. But later on the Lord made him believe that she wasn't in hell.
Then she saw how beautiful sister Claire was looking, and her skin color, even her teeth, how shiny they were, and her nails. She was looking so glorious and so beautiful. And she saw that another sister was with her, who was the late sister of a deaconess in her church named Jane.
She saw that the dress that sister Claire was dressed in was so beautiful, so she asked, "How come you have this beautiful dress?" And she told her, "When I went to heaven the angels had already sown it there for me." And she showed her another dress that she would be wearing on the banquet day of the Lord, the day when He will have His marriage feast, and sister Naomi doesn't even have the words to describe how beautiful that dress was. As Naomi was looking at her crown, she saw that her crown was also so glorious!
Sister Claire told her that normally they (apparently sister Claire and the late sister of deaconess Jane) have been coming into the midst of Heaven Seekers Church in Ghana to worship with them, even though they do not see them. They are coming into their midst as angels to worship with them, so sister Claire said she should tell the church all about it. It is possible that sister Claire may have also meant that the saints in glory in general -- not just herself -- are normally coming into our midst to join us in worship. Sister Naomi seemed to indicate in her testimony that this is a "normal" occurrence that happens "sometimes" when we worship.
"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us..." (Heb 12:1, NIV)
Also sister Claire was speaking Chi with her, so she asked her, "While you were on earth, you didn't understand Chi, and you couldn't speak Chi, so how come now you are speaking my own language with me?" And she said, "Over there in heaven you are able to speak all manner of languages, so no matter the language you speak, I can communicate with you."
And Naomi noticed how nice and glorious her mansion in heaven was, so she asked her how she came to possess it. She replied, "It began when I surrendered my life to our Lord Jesus Christ, and then I went about evangelizing, using my life as an example, to win so many souls unto the Lord." And she made Naomi to understand that the Lord was so pleased with the fact that she was using her own life as an example to evangelize to others and to win so many souls to Him. That's how she got the mansion, but she entered into heaven, not by any merits, but it was just by the mercy and the grace of the Lord, because she sinned against Him. But when she went to the Lord for forgiveness, He had mercy upon her and forgave her of her sins. That's how she was able to enter into the kingdom.
So sister Naomi asked her, "Then what about us? Are we also going to have buildings?" Sister Claire replied, "Some of them are now at the foundation level, some have not yet been started, and some are at the extent that now they are breaking." May the Lord have mercy on us!
And as Naomi was looking at her building, sister Claire told her that it would take a year to move through all the various parts of the building. May the Lord have mercy on us and grant us a building as beautiful as that. Sister Naomi says, "Her building was so high and mighty! My beloved, my prayer to the Most High God is that may He have mercy on us, may He help us so that we'll also be able to work for Him well, so that our works will be able to build us such a mansion. And may He have mercy on us and also take us into His kingdom."
The Vision Given to Brother Albert
Afterward a pastor named Albert testified. This is the pastor whom sister Claire told sister Naomi about in the revelation, saying that the Lord had revealed to him that she was not in hell, but he didn't believe it. He said he remembers the morning that sister Claire passed away, on May 10, 2017. They were having pastor's prayers, and their lead pastor, who was present, informed them that she had passed away. While the others were still deliberating about her issue about her death, he was just sitting quietly, and the Lord revealed a lady to him. He saw that there was something black coming out of her nose. But suddenly her appearance changed and she looked so glorious, and the Lord told him, "This is sister Claire." The Lord made him understand that the former state he saw her in was the state she was in before she died. But now the new, glorious state he was seeing her in was how the Lord has made her. But he didn't believe it. He was still doubting it within himself. And because of that, he did not even inform his lead pastor or wife. Neither did he tell deaconess Jane. He only informed one person.
It was only later that the lead pastor's wife heard it and she asked him, "Pastor, I heard you saw sister Claire in a vision, and you didn't even inform me." After he heard sister Naomi's testimony before the Church on June 24, 2017 he shared his testimony before the Church about the vision of sister Claire, so that it could be part of the video recording in support of sister Naomi's testimony. And he said, "Up until now I haven't even informed any other person until I said it here yesterday. I didn't inform deaconess Jane. This is to prove that what the Lord revealed unto deaconess Naomi and unto me is indeed the truth. So if someone tells you that he or she has seen sister Claire anywhere else, this is what the Lord revealed to me that she was indeed able to make it [into heaven]. Amen."
The Lord's Message for us in Psalms 24 and 25
I also want to discuss the two Psalms that sister Naomi received from the Lord in answer to prayer, because they contain a very important message for us, regarding sister Claire's eternal destination. Remember that He told sister Naomi to read Psalm 24, then He told her to read Psalm 25, and later when she prayed for another message, He told her to read the two chapters again. It was after she finished reading Psalm 25 that a great sleepiness came over her, and she heard the voice tell her to close the Bible and sleep. After she did so, it was during that sleep that she had the dream in which the Lord revealed to her that sister Claire made it to heaven. So please read these, and ask the Lord to speak to you.
As you read Psalm 24, listen to the Lord as He tells you who may ascend into the hill of the Lord and stand in His holy place. Listen to the Lord tell you who shall receive a blessing from the LORD and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is directly related to the revelation about sister Claire, because she ascended His hill, stood in His holy place, received a blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from God who saved her. She had clean hands and a pure heart, and that is what you and I must have, if we hope to make it to heaven.
Psalm 24
A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it. For He has founded it upon the seas And established it upon the rivers. Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood And has not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the LORD And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face—even Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O gates, And lift them up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah. (Psa 24:1-10)
Now as you read Psalm 25, listen to the Lord as He shows you how sister Claire lifted up her soul to the Lord and trusted Him before she died, while she was on her sick bed. Listen to Him as He tells you how she feared the Lord, asking Him to pardon her iniquity and forgive all her sins.
Psalm 25
A Psalm of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. O my God, in You I trust, Do not let me be ashamed; Do not let my enemies exult over me. Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed; Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed. Make me know Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; For You I wait all the day. Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and Your lovingkindnesses, For they have been from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; According to Your lovingkindness remember me, For Your goodness' sake, O LORD. Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore He instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in justice, And He teaches the humble His way. All the paths of the LORD are lovingkindness and truth To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies. For Your name's sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. His soul will abide in prosperity, And his descendants will inherit the land. The secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him, And He will make them know His covenant. My eyes are continually toward the LORD, For He will pluck my feet out of the net. Turn to me and be gracious to me, For I am lonely and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses. Look upon my affliction and my trouble, And forgive all my sins. Look upon my enemies, for they are many, And they hate me with violent hatred. Guard my soul and deliver me; Do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all his troubles. (Psa 25:1-22)
I think this Psalm is very appropriate, because there are so many people who consider themselves believers, but are convinced sister Claire went to hell. They are very vocal about it and have come out with their false revelations about it. I have a message for those people: "Do not spread false reports." (Ex 23:1). Gabriel Doufle is one of them and there are others, who claim to have received revelations from the Lord that she is in hell. Doufle seems to be triumphing over such "revelations" of her demise, as if they prove that his prophecy about her and brother Owour was valid. How sad that he and others would do so! They are not glorifying the Lord. And many of them are actually quite nasty in the way they go about it, even condemning others who say she is in heaven, as if it makes the Lord angry to say she entered into glory, and as if saying so endangers their own soul. The Lord said we would know false prophets by their fruits, and these are not good fruits.
Recall how sister Naomi saw in the dream that there were people who, instead of praying for sister Claire while she was on her sick bed, were thinking in their hearts that she was getting what she deserved. This is true, because those people that she once had fellowship and prayed with are now coming out against her treacherously. These enemies of hers are now seeking to exult over her death, as if they are hating her, saying she got what she deserved. The Lord guarded her soul and delivered her from all that, so that they did not triumph over her. In the end, she was not ashamed, because she took refuge in the Lord. Though she was afflicted, He was gracious to her. Though the troubles of her heart were multiplied, He brought her out of her distress.
Putting it All Together
In conclusion, brother Albert is definitely correct that his testimony helps to prove that what the Lord showed to him and sister Naomi is true. On May 10, the day sister Claire died, he received his revelation of her entering heaven, but he initially did not believe it and he only informed one person. Sister Naomi did not know about this on June 19, when she received her revelation from the Lord about sister Claire. And in that revelation sister Claire told her that the Lord had revealed to pastor Albert that she made it to heaven and he did not believe it until the Lord later helped him to believe it was true. She could not have known this on her own, since she had no prior knowledge of the vision given to him. Praise the Lord!
These revelations are definitely from the Lord, in my opinion. The Scripture says “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy." (Ac 2:17-18). Both the dream that the Lord gave unto sister Naomi and the vision He gave unto brother Albert bring glory to God, as well as the message He gave us in Psalms 24 and 25. They also demonstrate His riches in mercy, and encourage us to a life of purity, obedience, and service to the Lord.
The message is clear that she is in heaven with the Lord. May it encourage you to pray, work for the Lord, serving Him, using your life as an example, evangelizing others, winning many souls to Him, and also stir you up in your own walk with Him to live in righteousness, holiness and truth.

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.
