A prophetic Proclamation from God, written by Scribe Angels. To Him who sits upon the throne, we give Praise, Honor and Glory forever and ever, that He would desire to reveal His home in the Heavens to the men of the Earth. Rejoice, oh Earth, Rejoice! For Heaven is about to kiss you and when it does, the Fire of His Passion will consume every living being. He will forever leave His mark on the hearts of millions and they shall come to know Him as their Savior.
Be thankful citizens of Earth that you are living in
this day and hour, when the Glory of the Lord will cover the whole Earth. How
magnificent in His ways, how mighty in His acts is the hand of Him who sits upon
the throne. In eternity they shall sing about these days — the great and
powerful days before the end comes. All things will be shaken and all things
will be restored to and through God’s faithful believers!
Prepare O enemies of the Most High, to be made His footstool!
None will escape His Glory and there will be no place to hide from His Light! He
who has chosen this handmaiden to reveal the hidden things, the precious things,
and the treasures stored up in His Heaven for those who love Him and love the
coming of Him! We, His faithful Scribes, created by Him in the beginning to
serve in His celestial realm and to record the words of those we are sent for;
and to deliver and release His messages to those whom He trusts - are grateful
to be a part of His divine plan in revealing Heaven.
Prepare you faithful ones, whom have stood under much warfare
and devastation of the enemy. Prepare to receive great reward, now, in this
lifetime and in the glorious life to come. You are about to see the power of
your God released, and you will truly know that He is in control
Behold, His fire comes to blaze across this world and into
the hearts of men, to push back the great darkness and claim His creation back
to Himself. Prepare men and women of God, those who watch over the souls
of their congregations - to yield to the Holy Spirit of God when asked to lay
down your plans, man’s plans, and allow Him to take control during this hour.
For those who yield, there shall be great increase of anointing in your
ministry. For those who refuse to yield, your place shall be given to another
and some will even sleep early! Prepare your hearts, for He must first visit His
leaders and then His church body. Will you all be able to stand and carry this
Glory, or will you be exposed by its coming?
The bowls before the altar are tipping and the veil of flesh
has been torn; nothing or no one can stop what is about to happen!
Manifestations of His power through signs, wonders and the miraculous will
happen everywhere — no buildings will be able to contain them. He will no longer
be put in a box, nor will He wear any man’s tag, but He will unite His true Body
of believers and the World will know them by their love for each other! Prepare
to hear a new sound — the sound of Heaven!
This is a glimpse into Eternity! Prepare to read. Prepare to
be forever changed. Prepare people of Earth, God is
REVEALING HEAVEN!
To use mere mortal words to describe the ‘Glory’ of Heaven is
not an easy task but, since I have been persuaded by my Lord, I will attempt to
do so! God has a ‘time line’ throughout eternity and he has chosen
this appointed time to reveal what He has prepared for those who love him and
have accepted His son, Jesus, as their Savior. I am continually overwhelmed by
the grace and goodness of God for allowing me to visit His celestial realm for
over 10 years. Even though I never asked to go to Heaven, He chose to let me go
for His purposes.
The experiences mentioned in this book are not about me, nor
were they for me. Never, during any of my visits did I know that one day I would
write a book. That assignment came when Jesus appeared to me in my home and
commissioned me to write about His home.
Over several years, I was shown many fantastic places and
things. During many of my trips to Heaven I was taken to the houses of the
Redeemed who wanted to let their families know how God had blessed them.
Sometimes I was shown children who had passed away and the relatives they were
living with in Heaven. No child is ever left on their own.
I had never met most of these people, nor did I know anything
about them. At no time did I ever speak directly to them, but I was allowed to
observe and hear their conversations. Upon returning to earth I was able to
share with their loved ones what I had observed. which caused Heaven to become
very real. It brought great hope and many times dispelled grief knowing that
their loved ones were more alive in Heaven than they ever were on earth!
You do
not cease to exist, but it is like moving’ to the most fantastic place where
everything you desired is already waiting for you. Sometimes I visited places that were created solely for fun
and entertainment. Believe me, Heaven is not boring! If you think you have to
give up ‘things’ when you go to heaven, you are quite mistaken.
What makes Revealing Heaven a little different from other
books that have been written about Heaven is that it contains ‘evidence’ that
what I saw, actually exists there. You will see this in the chapter titled
“Dearly Departed”. The most overwhelming thing I can share about Heaven is being
in the presence of Jesus. When He casts His gaze upon you everything fades away
and you are consumed by His Glory. As He approaches, hosts of angels go before
Him declaring His holiness and you are engulfed by the radiance of His beauty.
Standing there, perfect peace washes over you, wave after wave of love flows
through your entire being, and you become ‘undone’ as Isaiah did (see Isaiah 6).
I have seen Jesus several times before going to heaven and He
has even spoken to mc, but each time I am moved by the experience of being in
His glory! My prayer is that you too, will someday stand in His presence! This book is not another ‘study’ on Heaven, but simply a
story about the things God allowed me to see during my many visits. It will not
only transport you to His realm, but through the illustrations, you will
actually view many of the things I saw while in Heaven. God gifted me to sketch
the places you will see and then connected me with a prophetic artist, Walter,
who brought them wonderfully to life!
Please know that it is not my job to convince anyone that the
things revealed truly exist: that is the job of my best friend, Holy Spirit,
whom I love dearly. This knowledge completely frees me to not only proceed with
the assignment given me by God, but to thoroughly enjoy doing it. Most of these trips were never forewarned to me, nor were
they made according to my timing. I was just ‘taken’ at the will of the Holy
Spirit.
Each event I share will have a small intro as to any special
circumstances that were occurring when I was taken. If you were to ask how I
qualified to become an ambassador for Heaven, I am afraid it would not include a
long list of ‘religious’ credentials. Instead I would have to tell you that I
love being a servant to God’s people. It was instilled in me by my father, from
the time I was a child.
My family (I am one of 15 children, 4 are now in Heaven),
although not wealthy, has always reached out to help the rejected, the poor and
the forgotten. Many mornings I would wake up to find people sleeping on our
floor, because my father would go out at night and bring back the homeless. He
would take our food, sometimes right off the stove (which didn’t always sit well
with my mother). and give it to others who had nothing. My Papa truly had God’s
heart for those who were suffering; and my mother learned how to be an
intercessor and pray in more supplies. Now, many years later, at age 54, I love
helping people and have taught my three gifted daughters; Kelly, Kimberly and
Kaci, to do the same.
We were also taught to be faithful and to serve at the church
God had joined us to. We did not just worship and fellowship there, we gave of
ourselves and tithed too. I love my church, New Life Christian Fellowship, where
I have been a member for over seventeen years. Our pastor and his wife
(actually, their whole precious family is involved at the church) love people
too. Our motto there is, “Worship God and Celebrate people”.
That is why when asked to help in Hospitality, my mother and
I said, “Yes”. That means for almost six years we volunteered to decorate,
prepare meals, serve them and clean up. This took place at some regular weekly
meetings and several special events. Some of my trips to Heaven are related to a
few of these events. Others happened from my home, parked in my car, walking
outside and even while shopping. I have lost count, but am always overwhelmed
each time I am taken.
There is NO other place like Heaven. No matter how you try,
your imagination and creativity could not come close to that of the Father.
There are places that look similar to what is on earth, but some of the
supernatural stuff will blow your mortal minds! I am still trying to figure out
some of it and being a ‘simple’ person doesn’t make it any easier. I only know
one thing, no one will want to miss going there and there is nothing on this
planet that is worth losing the chance. if you are bound by any sin that would
prevent you from going, please just repent and surrender it to Jesus, (1st John
1:9).
He will help you because He loves you! Nothing is impossible
with Him, no matter how hopeless it appears to you. He created you, died for
you and now lives for you. The bible says, “He died for us while we were yet
sinners”. He will never leave you or disappoint you! Not only does he
give you eternal life by accepting him as Savior, but he will empower you with
His Holy Spirit to triumph in your everyday life. Read the bible and find out
what His blood has won for you. We will have trials while on this earth, but He
is able to deliver you out of them all. He has already won the victory for us.
Many times, when I am still, the music, sights and aromas
still come to me as if I had just left there. Also, sometimes when I am out
walking, I can feel the ‘wind of the Spirit’ swirling around me and that same
‘awe’ comes over me that I feel when I am in Heaven. It is like getting kisses
from above, reminding me that He cares and knows where I am. It is hard to live
a normal life here on earth, when I know what is waiting in Heaven. It is
probably a good thing they never asked me if I wanted to stay! I want to let you know that I have been confronted with many
trials over the years, but none to the degree I have faced this past year.
Sometimes they were almost unbearable and even with my gift of faith, I wondered
if I would survive the onslaught. But always, I would triumph with the help of
God’s word and the voice of the Holy Spirit.
Although I had been to Heaven and had mysteries revealed to
me, it did not negate me from facing the same attacks that are common to us all.
I have learned that through it all He will keep you in perfect peace. So press
in, worship Him, and declare His greatness and evil will flee as you become a
‘sacrifice of praise’ unto your God. The devil cannot bear to be where the presence of God dwells.
As you read, prepare to be amazed, overwhelmed and encouraged
for what awaits those who choose to call Jesus their Savior and thus, Heaven
their future home!
I give thanks to my heavenly Father, his son Jesus, Holy
Spirit and the Redeemed living in Heaven who allowed me to see their homes;
also, to the two scribe angels assigned to assist me for this season of my life.
May God give them the grace to put up living with a mortal and the patience to
work with someone who many times gets lost on her own street!
Please watch for Volumes II and III, which will be a
continuation of my journeys to Heaven. We are also releasing (as instructed by
Holy Spirit) a children’s series based on this book to be entitled, “ADVENTURES
IN HEAVEN” authored by my younger sister, Jen Voorhees (tentative release date
Nov/Dec 2007).
All books (including narrated versions) will be translated in
many of the known languages, so that the nations can glorify God for his
goodness. And You can also download the PDF file of this testimony. GLORY, HONOR AND PRAISE TO MY HEAVENLY FATHER, MY LORD JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR EVER AND EVER!
God’s Design - Earth is a Shadow of Heaven
I would like to begin by explaining what God told me, that
earth is a copy of Heaven. In other words, most of what is here on earth already
exists in Heaven. It is not a flat place in the sky, floating around covered in
clouds with fat baby angels dropping grapes into our mouths. It is a literal
‘world’; round, just like earth, only huge in proportion! Hebrews 8:5 talks
about things on earth being a shadow and type of what is in Heaven.
Many things here have always been there, only perfect! No
death, decay, rust or pollution at all! Everything is beautiful - almost beyond
description. God-inspired ideas eventually made it into the mind of man and were
then invented here on earth. All ‘good’ things created came down from the Father
(James 1: 17).
It is our enemy, satan, who has perverted and defiled things on
this earth and he uses people to promote and desire these wicked things. There
is neither evil nor its influence in Heaven. There are also many things in
Heaven that have not yet been invented here. We only use a small percentage of
our brain power, but in Heaven we will be unhindered and creativity will be
fantastic. There are places in Heaven where we will actually learn to
create. One of the places of education is called ‘Creation Lab’ which will be
discussed in Volume II.
Earth and Heaven operate in two different realms. Our natural
‘physical’ eyes cannot see into the ‘spirit’ realm (unless God opens them); but
the ‘spirit’ realm can see everything in our ‘physical’ world. This earth
operates in a ‘physical’ realm because we have physical bodies. However, inside
your body is a spirit, which operates in Heaven (which is a ‘spirit’ realm) in
the same manner as on earth.
You can touch, taste and smell things just like on earth,
only in Heaven all of your senses are magnified. It is actually hard to tell
whether you are there in spirit or in your body because you do still have these
senses and you experience emotions; you do not become a robot! When you die and
go there, you do not become ‘invisible’, able to pass through things, nor do you
turn into angels.
God’s word in Hebrews 11:16 talks about Heaven being a city
and a country, just like on earth. There is an awesome city where the river
flows from under the throne and another area I saw had miles of countryside.
Many of the people living up there refer to this as the ‘park’. It is definitely
different from the city I visited in Heaven. The park is where you can see every
species of animal ever created; including the dinosaurs which roam the hills
(they all eat grass, or at least it seemed to me they were eating it). There are
beautiful meadows, hills, creeks, waterfalls, trees and the most glorious
flowers you could ever imagine.
Some of the flowers change colors and even make music. Many
people have their own ‘secret’ gardens that they design and tend; either for
their own enjoyment or as a surprise for a loved one when they get to Heaven.
The city, where the throne room and river of life are, is
magnificent. Everything reflects the glory (light) of God which is why the
streets of gold’ are transparent, so they will reflect His light. I have only
seen a small part of it, but there were people going into buildings and stores.
Heaven has a lot of activity!
I saw different styles of transport vehicles, which all run
on ‘light’ — it is the only source of fuel other than the wind that blows the
sails in the big ships on the crystal sea. People travel across Heaven in many
different ways - air transport, ground (yes, they still have chariots and some
even come with hyper-drive) and on the sea in all types of vessels, Mostly, I
saw individuals using ‘public’ transportation in groups, but I definitely saw
individuals piloting or operating these vehicles by themselves too.
I have only briefly experienced ‘thought’ travel, where you
just ‘think’ of going somewhere and you are suddenly there. It may not have been
me at all, but rather accomplished through the angelic beings who escorted me. I
did see people get onto a ‘moving’ path, so that is another way you move about
in Heaven.
I saw restaurants, art galleries, sports arenas, movie
theatres and even an amusement park. One of the best things about Heaven is that
you do not need money to ‘purchase’ things, everything is free, because it is
‘given’. Everyone has ‘assignments’ rather than jobs and they are always
connected to your particular gift, which makes it a joy to do. You receive no
‘payment’ for your efforts but money would be useless there, since everything
you need or want is given to you. In this way, all skills and talents are used to
benefit everyone!
Some of these places will be thoroughly discussed later in
chapters of this book and others in Volumes II or III. The interesting part is
how I found out that these things and places existed. I was just as delighted
and surprised as you will be to find out what God has created for all who will
live there.
It really makes sense that if we were made in God’s image,
the earth would be made in Heaven’s image. There are, however, many
‘supernatural’ things and places there that will challenge our mortal brains. I
was so overwhelmed that usually I did not think to ask, “What is that”? Both
Holy Spirit and the angels told me that Heaven is always increasing and adding
new things for our enjoyment! God wants to bless His people and one of the ways
He expresses love is by creating things that will delight us. His word declares
in Psalms 37:4, “Delight yourself in the Lord: and He will give you the desires
of your heart”.
No one will want to miss going to Heaven, and the
alternative, Hell, (which will be discussed in chapter 9) is not to be desired
by anyone! God is the Great Creator and Heaven is His home, so why
wouldn’t it be exciting and fascinating to live there? I pray you will be
encouraged to know where your loved ones are living and some of the places they
are enjoying, so let the journey begin!
Life after Death - The Journey Begins
The Word of God says, “To be absent from the body is to be
present with the Lord”. This is a promise God gives to all Believers (those who
have accepted Christ).
This chapter will explain what happens to someone from the
second they die and their spirit leaves the body and earth can no longer hold
them. First, we will discuss what happens to someone who has accepted Jesus as
their Savior and will be going to Heaven. Then, we will discuss what happens to
someone who rejected Christ and is headed for Hell!
Whatever has brought them to this moment, whether natural
death at old age, a sickness or disease or an accident, it is always the same.
As you draw your last breath and your spirit begins to leave your body, you will
begin to feel weightless and float upward. If you look back, you will see your
lifeless body. If there are other people in the room or area where your body is,
you will also be able to see them and hear their comments.
You cannot
communicate with them, because you have left your ‘physical’ body and are now a
‘spirit being’ entering the spirit realm. Yes, you do still care about those you
are leaving behind because you love them but you are now entering into the
precious promise of God - to be with Him. Unfathomable love erases any anxiety
or fear of death you may have experienced, even moments before.
If you were sick, injured or in pain before, you will now
realize that all those symptoms have completely left and that you feel
wonderful. Also, if you were elderly, you are now young again because age has no
effect on your eternal spirit. The life of God now flows into your being. You
will have no fear, because the peace of God will now become your constant
companion. At this point, some people still do not realize they have even died;
because they still have their senses and can touch themselves, it is hard for
them to comprehend. They will still try to communicate with others that they
pass by and wonder why they do not respond.
If not already present, the angels will appear to escort you
on your journey to Heaven. They are magnificent beings still aglow from being in
the heavenly realm. They always know your name and usually assure you that all
will be well. No one is left to find their own way. If it is a child or baby,
they are carried by the angels; they never experience fear or sadness, only
tremendous love. There is no ‘hanging around’ or a struggle to find a way to
‘cross over’. No one’s spirit can remain on the earth for very long. There are
various ways to be taken to Heaven, including chariots. If Jesus comes to escort
individuals, they get to go in the Lord’s own chariot. It is rare, but sometimes
loved ones are allowed to see you leave or to see the angelic beings who have
come to escort you.
One of the normal ways you are taken to Heaven, if you are to
remain there, is by a transport. These transports come in many different models,
so they may not all look like the one I saw two years ago when I witnessed
someone boarding one. Not only could I see the ship, but the two angels who were
escorting the woman. She looked amazingly beautiful and young, even though I
knew she had been very old when she passed away. This transport (as shown in the
illustration) looked something like a cable car without the cables.
The lower part was made of a solid substance that looked like
burnished pewter. Ornate panels, on either side of its doors, were gold as was
the trim that ran down both ends of the ship and around the bottom. The light
emanating from the sides as well as from beneath the ship was a brilliant white
with blue highlights. This could be the ‘bright light’ mentioned by some who
have had ‘near death’ experiences.
The upper part of the transport is like glass — you can
actually see through it. Can you imagine how exhilarating it must be to streak
through the universe and see everything on your way to Heaven?
You usually enter from the side of the craft by way of steps
that appear from nowhere and have no visible means of support. How supernatural
is that! I was told that sometimes people are also brought up through the bottom
entrance (which I could not see).
Sometimes angels
navigate these crafts, but usually people are chosen for this position before
they die. They become Heaven’s pilots, not because of prior flight experience,
but because of their heart for people. They have a natural ability to put people
at ease and to share things about the new home they are going to.
Heaven’s pilots are the first contact individuals have with
Heaven and therefore must be trusted by God to portray His care and love. It is
a high honor to be chosen for this assignment. In Volume II of Revealing Heaven,
I will relate a story about just such an individual.
It was truly amazing to be able to see a transport close up.
The angels who escort these transports all wear white gowns with purple sashes
at the waist, and purple on their cuffs and hems. They also wear narrow purple
bands on their head. At least one of them carries a sword. Once boarded, the
transport leaves and continues through the atmosphere at speeds we only dream
of, until they arrive in the third heaven.
Once the transport stops, you will be escorted out and left
in the care of other angels and / or people whose job it is to welcome you to
Heaven. Many times Abraham will be there to greet you. Sometimes the gates will
be visible from your disembarking point, but sometimes they can be some distance
away. Your family and friends who already dwell in Heaven will run to greet you.
There is much joy and celebrating going on at your arrival. Usually, you pass
through the gates and are taken immediately to your home which has been lovingly
prepared for you. Everything you ever desired in architecture, style or decor
has been considered to please you. Even the landscaping of your property is
suited to your taste.
If you had any pets on earth that were special to you, they
are also waiting for you (recreated by a loving Father). Time is then given to
greet and rejoice with friends and family.
All this time you will be overwhelmed by the presence of God
and the beauty of just being there and experiencing the sights, sounds and
aromas. You feel like you have truly come home. Just when you think it can’t get
any better, Jesus comes! You are now taken into the throne room where the
redeemed and angels worship and rejoice together. Worship can be singing,
dancing and bowing before the throne. Many times Jesus will dance with His
people; everyone wants to touch him. There are times of celebrating and times to
lay prostrate before the King of Kings. On the way to the throne, You are
greeted by all those whom you pass by. As you approach the throne the brilliance
of the Father begins to overwhelm you.
The created beings, filled full of eyes, proclaim
continuously about His holiness (Revelation 4). You can hardly bear to look Upon
the glory of the Father as He declares His love for you. Fire and lightening
proceed from His presence and awe falls over the throne room. Everyone turns to
watch as you are welcomed home.
Just when you think you will collapse from the weight of the
glory, God reaches out and holds you to Himself. Never have you experienced such
love and acceptance! All your preconceived ideas as to what God is like are
washed away in the flood of love that goes right through you. It is
unconditional love and you finally know the passion that was in His heart when
He sent His Son to the cross for you! You are truly complete.
Once your time for communion with the Godhead is over, you
are taken on an extensive tour of Heaven by your family and/or friends. You
visit all the wonderful places your loving Father has prepared for you to enjoy.
He truly delights to give you pleasure. Now, we will describe what happens to
someone who dies without accepting Christ as their Savior. At first, they will
experience the same exact sensations as the first person, but that begins to
change almost immediately. They too, will no longer be sick, crippled or aged.
As stated before, everyone’s spirit is eternal and once you leave your physical
body (no matter what condition it is in) you will have a perfectly made spirit.
You soon begin to feel the sinister presence which is coming
for you and then suddenly, demons appear and take hold of you with their
claw-like hands. Horror fills you as the stench of death fills the room. You are
unable to fight back, because satan now owns you! No matter how you fight or
scream no one will come to help you. Your family and/or friends cannot see nor
hear you and even if they could, they would be helpless to prevent what is about
to happen. When you reject Christ, you become the property of Hell when you die.
They begin to pull you downward until everything disappears into darkness. You
begin to feel the heat and hear the screaming and moaning of agonized souls.
Even though your spirit was whole when you left your body, it
will not remain that way for long. Hell is also a spirit realm and because you
are now a spirit being, you will feel every form of torture they have. As you
enter into the yawning mouth of the underworld, other demons will start to yell
in glee as they begin to mutilate your being. The pain and agony is real and
fear rules supreme as your mind begins to realize what has happened to you. All
this time the searing heat is blistering you and every horror you ever imagined
has become real.
There will be no contact with another human being, other than
the sounds of screaming and cursing made by the damned. You will never eat or
drink again, although you will experience continual starvation and dehydration.
Never again will you know rest or peace, just utter exhaustion and pure terror.
Your mind will reach the brink of insanity, but never allowed to completely go
there. There is NO escape. You are there because of the choice you made, not
because God rejected you. You will remain in Hell until the end of the
millennial reign of Christ upon the earth. Then Hell will give up the wicked
dead and they will go before the Great White Throne Judgment where they will
receive their eternal place of punishment (called the second death) which is the
Lake of Fire. God is merciful, but sin cannot enter into His presence nor dwell
in Heaven because He is HOLY. If you do not receive Christ as your savior, your
name will not be found in the Book of Life and you will be thrown into the lake
of fire. Be sure you know where your destiny lies before you die; because after
death it will be too late!
Do you know where yours is?
The Angelic Hosts — Real Personalities
This is one of my favorite subjects, because the angels are
so real to me. I have seen many angels over the years and the variety never
ceases to amaze me. I would caution you, however, to remember that satan can
take the shape of an ‘angel of light’ as described in
2 Corinthians Il: 14. It
would not be a wise thing to ‘call’ angels to you, as this could be used by the
enemy to deceive you. All of the angels I have had contact with were sent by the
Father. I never initiated or requested that they appear or come to me! Many of
the angels I saw were very strong and muscular, especially warrior and guardian
angels. Warrior angels are very power fully skilled and fiercely determined to
carry out their tasks against any enemy. They are defenders and protectors, able
to stand up to any demonic being. They take their assignments VERY seriously.
Angels do not operate like robots, although committed and
unswerving in their dedication and love for the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, they
do have emotions, feelings and opinions about us! We are actually a mystery to
most of them; wondering why we do the things we do and sometimes act as though
God does not even exist.
Some angels that are assigned to earth at this time have a
height of nine feet and some as large as twenty feet. There are extremely
powerful angels who are reserved for the end times (as mentioned in the book of
Revelation) and their size is immeasurable.
God does assign angels to the earth, as stated in Hebrews
1:14, to care “for those who will inherit salvation”. Some of the most unusual
are the guardian angels who are assigned to you from your birth (Matthew 18:10).
Their main task is to protect and guard you from harm and to report to Heaven
concerning your spiritual growth. When we are making good progress they are
elated, but if we do just the opposite, it frustrates them.
Angelic beings can and do change their appearance like that
of a human (Daniel 10:16) and have many times been among us without our
knowledge. Since they are ‘spirit’ beings and not physical, they can also appear
and disappear. Always, their greatest desire is to please the Lord at all times
and because He cares about us, they will use every power allotted to them to
fulfill their assignments.
In Heaven, one of the order of angelic beings is the
seraphim, who actually have fire coming out of them. They operate in close
proximity to the throne and therefore reflect and carry God’s glory. The book of
Isaiah, chapters 5 and 6, reveal this heavenly being and how God used them to
purify the lips of the prophet with coals of fire. There are also the ‘living
creatures’ that are covered with eyes, even under their wings (Revelation 4:6).
They stand at the four corners of the throne and continually proclaim the
holiness of God!
Angels very often receive training for special events or
movements God has planned for the earth and right now there is tremendous
angelic activity here on the earth. As stated in the ‘Foreword’, God is about to
do a tremendous work here!
Dearly Departed — Living in the Celestial City
Almost everyone has at one time experienced grief over the
loss of a loved one. It overwhelms you and leaves a big void in your life. You
cannot replace them no matter how we sometimes try. Only Jesus can heal and fill
that place. The one thing that helps is knowing that they are in Heaven and we
will one day see them again. I hope that the following stories will encourage
you to know
— HEAVEN IS REAL. When you go there your life does not stop
— IT BEGINS! If they could come back they would tell you — “I
am home”. Please believe that God has kept His Word — we will live because
Christ lives!
This is one of the most exciting chapters in this book as you
will learn about actual people who have passed on, what they are doing and how
this knowledge impacted the lives of their families when it was shared with
them. Permission was obtained from each of the families involved.
All of these trips I took to Heaven were done under different
circumstances and I will relate each story exactly as it happened. I have made
other trips and seen other people in Heaven, but I will save them for Volume II.
At this time, we will focus on three different events.
Maurissa — A Destiny made in Heaven
This particular event took place in February of 2001 and even
though I had been to Heaven many times, this trip will always hold a special
place in my heart. It shows the unfathomable mercy of God and how much He cares
about us! I will start by explaining the circumstances surrounding this event.
My Mother and I had just completed setting up and serving at a four day
conference held at our church and we were very tired. The following day we
received a call from the church asking for a favor from the pastor’s wife. She
wanted to know if we would clean a woman’s house (named Esther) who had just
hosted out-of-town relatives for several days for a funeral. My Mother received
the call and even though we were exhausted, she said we would grant the request.
We had heard that a young person had recently been killed in
a skiing accident, but knew nothing else. She did not attend our church, nor was
the funeral held there. Apparently, this woman, Esther Zink, was related to that
young person. I will now share what happened while cleaning Esther’s house.
We arrived around 2:00 p.m. and I started dusting. After
being in the house for just a few minutes, the Holy Spirit started talking to
me. This is what He said, “You know, her Great Grandfather met her at the ‘gate’
when she arrived.” I asked him whom he was talking about and He said, “The young
girl who just passed away, the granddaughter of Esther.
I want you to tell her
mother, Melodee, this message because she is grieving for her. Maurissa is now
living with her Great Grandfather because, of course, she is too young to live
on her own. He is showing her the time of her life and is taking her somewhere
to have lots of fun.”
(A split second later I was in Heaven)
I heard this high, excited laugh, and then I saw her. She had
shoulder-length, reddish-blonde hair and was grinning very big. I was not
certain of her age, possibly the early teens. She was holding the hand of a
young man with brown hair (even though he was her great grandfather, you do not
remain old when you go to heaven). He appeared to be in his mid-twenties and
quite pleased about their coming adventure.
Maurissa, filled with joy, seemed
barely able to control herself, knowing where he was taking her. She was also
with another young person, a girl, several years older than she was and she had
straight, long blonde hair. It was not revealed to me who this third person was,
but Maurissa was very happy that she was with them. I saw all of them walking
down a beautiful wide pathway. The flowers were breathtaking, every color you
could imagine and every petal was perfect. I had never seen anything like them
before.
Amazement rushed over me as I realized I was approaching an
amusement park. There were very tall trees on both sides of the path and in the
distance I could see a huge roller coaster. You could hear the people screaming
with laughter as the cars on the roller coaster plummeted down what looked like
a 100-foot drop. (The Holy Spirit later told me the name of that particular
coaster was “The Rush”).
(Just as quickly as I was taken, I returned to earth)
Still standing in front of the fireplace mantle, the Holy
Spirit said, “Maurissa is a joy to be with. Everyone liked her and she was full
of life and energy. She always had a positive attitude and was a blessing to her
mother and her friends. They all miss her very much. Please tell her mother that
she is now her greatest cheerleader and will cheer her on to the destiny I have
planned for her”
He then let me hear these words you had previously spoken by
her mother, “I can’t believe she is gone. Her life is over and she never got to
fulfill her destiny. What will I do without her? I want to know that she is
okay. I want her to know I love her!”
Then the Lord said, “Your daughter chose to stay
because she knew her greatest contribution would be in Heaven. Please tell
everyone that I did not take your daughter, but I knew she would be here early
and that her destiny would be made in Heaven.
She is now a leader of the youth
(age does not matter here, I judge by a person’s heart) and is in charge of
organizing the youths’ contribution to the celebration in the Marriage Supper of
the Lamb. It is a high honor for her, but I know she will do a super job.
She
will not overlook a single detail and will include all the youth so everyone
will have a good time and none will be left out. Your daughter has a very BIG
heart. Why would I choose anyone else for this assignment? She has embraced the
task and is going forward with it, and as usual, giving a 150 % of herself. She
loves you dearly and knows that you feel the same about her; but she would ask
that you release her now so that she can fulfill her destiny.
She said when she sees you again one day she will kiss you on
both cheeks and tell you everything that has happened to her here and will make
sure she leaves nothing out. She always enjoyed talking with you and being with
her friends. She was everyone’s friend and is the same way here. Your
personality does not change when you come to Heaven; it just blossoms and
becomes even more pronounced.
Maurissa dwells in My presence now and I will make sure she
is taken care of and not left on her own. I can give you grace to help if you
ask Me. I can heal the hurt, if you let Me. I will never take away her memory
because she is too precious to you, but you can walk in My peace and I will
release it to you right now.
Trust Me. Seek Me, for I desire to draw closer to
you and tell you of My love for you. Don’t ever be afraid to say anything to Me;
your words are important and I will always take time to hear you. You too have a
destiny to complete and now you have a faithful cheerleader here to root you on
to fulfill it. I will send other children to you that will desperately need to
be loved. Don’t refuse them, for your love will make a major difference in their
lives and destinies. It may be the only Me they ever see. I love you, My
daughter”.
After I experienced all of this, I called my mother from the
other room and told her what had happened. I then called the church to let
someone know what I had heard and they gave me the telephone number for
Maurissa’s mother, Melodee. I made arrangements to meet her and give her the
message.
After typing it all down, I drove to a local mall and met with her.
While reading the message to her, she turned white and looked quite shocked.
Following is what she shared with me when I finished giving her the message.
Laughing and
crying at the same time she said, “There is no possible way you could have
known. No way at all! I have never met you and you were not at the funeral
service. When I asked her what she meant, she said, I know that everything you
told me is true and I know you saw my daughter in Heaven.
I know this, because
the day I returned home from the ski resort I was looking through her room and I
found something. It was a journal my daughter had kept back in 1995 (she was 13
years old at her death in 2001). As I sat reading, God led me to a journal entry
dated October 3, 1995, where she had written about a dream she had had the night
before. It said she dreamed she died early and went to Heaven early and that she
met her great grandfather, and went on a roller coaster ride.”
After telling me this, she continued to tell me about her
daughter Maurissa. She was exactly as l described her —slim, strawberry blonde
hair and that she had actually been a cheerleader at her school. She also told
me that Maurissa was very popular and had always desired to be a youth leader
when she grew up. She had impacted so many lives that they bused students from
two different schools to her funeral.
Hundreds came and many made decisions for
Christ.Maurissa was a very special young lady! I continued to talk
withMelodee and shared some of the other things I knew about
heaven. Then I prayed for her and went back home. I was very blessed
to know God had used me to help Melodee through a very difficult
time. Statement from Melodee Nobles. Maurissa’s Mother March 13, 2007
After losing my only child, Maurissa, in 2001, I found myself
searching for answers. I was trying to find peace and comfort in the midst of my
darkest hour. I was going through what I call the “pit” of grief. I literally
would have done anything to see my child again. I needed to touch her, feel her,
smell her, anything to gratify my loss of her physical body. The ripping away of
her flesh was most apparent at this time. There were days I told my husband, it
may sound morbid, but I miss her so much, I just want to dig her up and just
hold her! I would go in her bedroom, lay on her bed (hid just scream and cry
into the pillow.
A short time after Maurissa’s death, my mother called me to
tell me an intercessor at the church had received a vision of the Lord for me in
regards to Maurissa and her untimely death. My initial reaction was one of
skepticism. I was raised in a Pastor’s home and began to question whether this
was actually from God or possibly someone trying to get “in” with the pastor’s
family.I met with Kathy after work one night just outside of J.C.
Penney’s and immediately felt God’s comforting presence as she walked over to
me. She said she wanted to give the message to me in person.
Contained in this
message were little “kisses from heaven” that Maurissa and God the Father sent
to me through the comfort of the Holy Spirit. She said things in this message
that only Maurissa would have known. Kathy did not know me, my family or my
daughter. When Maurissa was little, I would have her kiss me on both cheeks
before dropping her off at school. In her message Kathy wrote “and when I see
you again Mommy; I will kiss you on both cheeks:
Another heavenly kiss was that
when Kathy typed her message from the Lord to me, she was told to print it in
blue ink. That was Maurissa‘s favorite color, her cheerleading color, the color
of her room and everything we had done for her celebration service was in blue
ink. One other significant kiss was that there was no possible way she could
have known about the ‘dream ‘Maurissa had written in her journal in October
1995.
She wrote that she had died early, met her Great Grandfather in Heaven and
went on a roller coaster ride. These were similar to the very words Kathy
started her message with and undeniable proof that Kathy was hearing from
Heaven!
Death is not God’s plan; His plan is for us to have eternal
life and life more abundantly. It is not His desire, nor does He punish us by
allowing our loved ones to be separated from us. He will send you “kisses from
heaven.” Kathy’s message began a road to recovery for me. I am now able to live
with this loss and continue God’s plan for my life, so that my daughter’s
destiny can be and will be fulfilled.
Since Kathy’s first message, I have had
dreams and visions of my daughter, Maurissa, and it has opened my eyes to a
spiritual world where there is total joy! Kathy and I have had many
conversations about heaven and when I tell her things, on many occasions she is
already aware of what has been revealed to me.
I am also writing a book about this time in my life. I will
share how God has shown me how to tap into His peace, the one that passes all
understanding. I encourage you to tap into God. There is a thin veil between
this earth and heaven. Our loved ones are more alive than we are here on this
earth and one day it will be revealed to those who believe.
I cannot imagine
going through this without the hope of seeing Maurissa again. She was my whole
world next to Christ and I have completely changed my view of eternity since
this experience. Truly we are to be so heavenly minded that we can do earthly
good.
Melodee Nobles (Maurissa’s Mother)
Statement from Esther Zink, Maurissa’s Grandmother
Kathy Kerr came into our home during a crisis moment, the
death of our 13 year old granddaughter, Maurissa Dawn Martin. We have not gotten
over the emotion of it during the last seven years since her Home going to
Heaven. Three Grief Share classes later, reading and viewing every book, video,
DVD on death and dying, receiving many encouraging phone calls, cards and
prayers from our family and friends (Body of Christ) we are resting in HIS
PEACE!
Our Pastor’s wife called the Kerrs to see if they would be
willing to clean our home as a blessing. It was Kathy Kerr’s Mom who answered
the telephone call and told Sharon they would be glad to help.
While Kathy and her Mom were cleaning our house the Friday
after the funeral, God spoke to Kathy about Maurissa and her Great Grandfather;
who was already in Heaven awaiting her arrival. God even told her their names
and other details that only God could have revealed to her: As she was dusting
the fireplace mantel, God suddenly took her to Heaven and she saw Maurissa and
her Great Grandfather going down a path to an amusement park. She knew Maurissa
had strawberry blonde hair and was wearing blue and white. Soon Kathy shared
this experience with us verbally and in writing.
Two later visions Kathy shared with us became even more
detailed about what Maurissa was doing in Heaven. The burgundy and gold flowers,
the lullaby music, the verbal messages were just a few of the outstanding
details that let us know Kathy was for real and only God could have given her
this detailed knowledge about our granddaughter: And knowing she had never met
Maurissa made her messages from Heaven to us even more miraculous! We
desperately needed to hear her words. Each vision God allowed her to share with
us was undoubtedly from the throne room of Heaven.
We had never met Kathy before. She was a complete stranger to
us; but each time she lifted us up into heavenly places as we read her visions
from Maurissa in Heaven. If I had ever doubted visions from Heaven, now I was a
true believer: Kathy Kerr has now made me want to write about my near-death
experiences. She truly does hear from God in Heaven because I have been blessed
by her to receive inspiration, healing and victory. We can humbly wait to see
Maurissa and all our loved ones who have gone home before us.
Kathy does much more for God than anyone I know. She feeds
the hungry, houses the homeless, has volunteered for years to cook and clean up
for church gatherings and is truly one of the most hospitable Servants of Christ
that I have known in my 66 years of life on earth. Without her God-allowed
messages from Maurissa in Heaven to our daughter; we would not be as far along
in the grief process as we are today. Melodee’s Mom and Maurissa’s Biological Grandmother, Esther
Laurel (Owens) Zink
It was Monday, February 14, 2005, and my mother and I were at
the church preparing a breakfast for the monthly International mentoring
meeting. I was decorating the tables and picked up some of the long stem red
roses we had purchased to make a centerpiece, when I heard the Lord say, “I want
you to give some of the roses to Vickie and tell her they are from her husband
for Valentine’s Day. He misses her and wants her to know that he still loves her
very much”.
I immediately turned to go down the hallway (I knew Vickie
worked in the church office) and suddenly the heavens opened and I saw Jesus
playing golf with John, Vickie’s late husband. I was astounded and could hardly
believe my eyes. “There is golf in Heaven?” I asked, but they did not answer me.
Jesus and John both had tunic tops and loose pants on (I mention in an upcoming
chapter that you do not wear your gowns and robes all the time, usually only to
corporate gatherings and in the throne room). I realized that I was no longer at
the church, but was now in Heaven.
The course they were playing on was very beautiful; every
blade of grass and every leaf on every tree was perfect. I don’t know how the
game was going, but they were certainly enjoying themselves. It was an 18-hole
course, complete with a ‘19’ Hole’ club for fellowship after the game.
I stood there staring when Jesus said, “This is John’s
backyard, his own private golf course, something he really desired. Come and I
will show you his front yard”. I was really in for a shock, because the next
thing I knew I was standing on a very royal looking deck overlooking the water
(there is a crystal sea which comes from the throne room and runs all over
Heaven). I do not know what substance it was made of, but it was very firm, like
decorative concrete. It had wonderful intricate patterns over its large surface.
People were arriving by boats to visit and play on John’s
golf course. The boats, in an array of colors, made no sound nor put forth any
odors because they were propelled by light. It was a delightful scene as John
came over to welcome his guests.
There were beautiful awnings coming out from his home to form
a magnificent entrance way. It appeared to be a type of ‘Greek’ design, as were
the furnishings inside the huge home. It was very masculine and yet inviting at
the same time. A lot of care had been taken to pick only the best for this home.
You really do get your heart’s desire.
John came in and I heard him say to some of the guests, “I
wish Vickie could see this, it would really bless her. But what I really wish
she could see is her own home; it is much grander than mine and she deserves
it!” Just as quickly. I was back at the church, still walking
towards the office to leave the roses for Vickie. I could hardly wait to tell
her what I had seen.
When I arrived, Vickie was on a break so I left the flowers
with a detailed note. She called me later and with tears in her voice, she told
me how badly her husband had wanted to play golf but could never afford it. God
was so gracious to prepare the wonderful surprise for her husband when he went
to Heaven and then to let Vickie know about it. It did bless her very much and
it made it even more special, as I believe this was her first Valentine’s Day
without him.
Statement from Vickie D’Elia. March 26, 2007:
“For the first few minutes after you told me about the vision
you had of my husband, John (or Johnny as I called him) I meditated on it. I
thought to myself, if you had told me you saw him playing pool or bowling it
would have been an instant recognition of him since he played both well.
Then I
realized by the Spirit that he had always wanted to play golf. In his latter
years, he always watched the golf tournaments on television, read articles about
it and even got a part-time job with a golf supply company. Johnny had become
very knowledgeable about the game. He said, “One of these days I am going to
take golf lessons”, but financially we could not afford it and therefore never
realized that dream before he died.
I cried after you shared with me about Heaven, because I
realized Johnny had been given a desire of his heart. He not only was playing
golf, but even had his own golf course. How wonderful God is to allow me to know
about the gifts he gave Johnny and about the beautiful home he now resides in.
The gift of roses which were left for me were an ‘instant’
recognition of Johnny, because whenever he bought flowers for me they were
always long stem ‘American Beauties’. Instead of a dozen he would get me eleven,
because he said I was the 12th American Beauty! It completely overwhelmed me to
receive those roses at that particular time, because not only was it Valentine’s
Day, but because the one year anniversary of my husband’s passing was February
the 12th
God knew how significant it would be for me to hear from
Heaven and know that I was still loved and not forgotten. It has helped me
realize that life does not cease to exist when we leave here; it is just the
beginning of the rest of our life”!
Message for Patricia Sweeting concerning her husband, Gerald
Sweeting, who went to Heaven on August 12, 2005.
I was busy doing some research when we received a call from
our church to see if we would do a funeral luncheon for someone who had been in
prison ministry for several years. We agreed and they proceeded to give us the
date, time and number of expected guests. That evening as we prepared to make
our lists for the luncheon the Holy Spirit began to speak to me. “You must wear
African style dress and take your mother’s safari animal statuary to decorate
with”.
This was something new He had not asked before. “Why,” I
asked? “Because, he loves wild animals and it will bless his family. Also, I
want you to get those gold jaguar shoes out of your closet and give them to his
wife. Tell her that they will be a reminder of what I have given him”. I had
almost forgotten about those shoes.
I had an impression to purchase them several years before,
but had never wore them. They were black and gold with a wedge style heel and on
the side of each shoe was a five-inch long gold jaguar. Although they were very
rich looking, they weren’t really my style so I put them back in the box and
shelved them. As silly as it sounds, I actually wondered if they would fit her.
Holy Spirit assured me they would.
As soon as I stepped towards my closet, I was instantly
transported to Heaven. I was not startled as I had gotten used to these
‘instant’ trips some time ago. I knew immediately I was outside the heavenly
residence of Mr. Sweeting. An angel escorted me up the beautiful entrance drive
which was lined on both sides with tropical plants, flowers and huge royal palm
trees.
The two-story home was magnificently made, each story being about 20 feet
high. There were balconies along the second story so you could come out and
enjoy the view of his property. As I was walking, I noticed that just a few
yards away lay a lion and some cubs. They were playing in grass that looked like
it had been imported from Africa. As a matter of fact, all of the grounds
surrounding his home looked like what you would expect to see if you were on a
safari! I could see and hear other animals in the area. How strange, I thought.
Upon entering the house I was immediately struck by the
majesty of the entrance hall. Black ebony pedestal tables with gold (I am sure
it was real) edging and designs. The walls had beautiful murals painted on them
— all African style scenes. The sconce lights on the walls filled the room with
a golden glow and enhanced every scene as I passed down the hall. Off this hall
were several smaller rooms, probably used for personal ‘private’ meditation,
prayer or just relaxing with small groups of visitors. All of them had leopard
or zebra style prints on the upholstered furniture. One thing that stood out was
the gorgeous, deep purple color used on accessories such as, throw pillows,
floor pillows, runners or draperies at the tall windows.
The most striking room I passed was round and in the center
of the room was one of the beautiful ebony tables. In the center of the table
were two large decorative pillows which held two brilliant crowns, every facet
of every jewel was perfect.
They were different styles and I knew immediately
that one was a ‘soul winners’ crown which Christ promised everyone who reached
the unsaved and won them for the Kingdom of God. How they shone, it lit up the
whole room and how exciting to know one day I would also have one.
At the end of the hall I saw Mr. Sweeting (even though I had
never met him, I knew instantly who he was) talking to a young gentleman with
blonde hair. I could hear lively music and laughter coming from the large room
at the end of the hall. It was his homecoming party, which everyone receives
when they first arrive. I heard the gentleman call Mr. Sweeting “Chief’.
Immediately the angel escorting me said, ‘That is the name which the Father
calls him.
It defines who he is in the eyes of the Lord. Mr. Sweeting’s
robe looked just like something a wealthy African chief would wear. He was
laughing now and seemed very excited.
He could neither see nor hear me, however, I was allowed to
hear his conversation. He was saying how he wished he had been able to tell
Patricia good-bye and that he was sorry he had left so suddenly.
He also wanted
her to know he had heard everything she said to him while he lay motionless. He
wished she could see what God had blessed him with and that he would continue to
pray for his family back on Earth. I returned shortly after that conversation
and proceeded with plans for the luncheon.
The next day we decorated for the luncheon as directed by the
Holy Spirit. We used my mother’s beautiful jungle animal statuary, candles,
black and gold as accent colors, a leopard print table runner and African style
greenery together with some small palms. To serve the meal, we used the sterling
silver servers, crystal platters, china plates and satin tablecloths. The room’s
appearance was very regal.
Once the funeral service was over, the guests began to
arrive. Everyone seemed to be impressed and when Patricia arrived, she looked
stunned. She sought me out and asked how we had known to decorate with that
particular style, as her husband loved it. I took her aside from the other
guests so I could speak privately. I began by asking her why he liked the
‘jungle animal’ theme so much. I told her I thought maybe he collected things
from Africa or he was rediscovering his ‘roots’. What she said next stunned me!
With tears in her eyes, she said, “All his life he wanted to
take an African safari, but I would never go. I was afraid I would be eaten by
the wild animals so every time he asked me, I said no”
I proceeded to tell her how God took me to heaven and how he
had shown me her husband’s home that was built in the middle of a wild animal
preserve. I shared about the beauty of his mansion and what I heard him saying
about her. She was quite overwhelmed by it all, but was very moved at the
goodness of God. She loved the gift of the jaguar shoes and, of course, they fit
her perfectly. Her life was changed forever.
Patricia Sweeting’s personal statement:
“I was so shocked when I walked into the funeral luncheon and
saw how it had been decorated. I said, “Who did this? I want to know who did
this”. I was directed over to you and asked, “How did you know’? Why did you use
the African decor”? You then explained about how God took you to heaven and
showed you my husband and all the things about his home there. I knew what you
were saying was true even though you had never met me or my husband, Gerald.
The part that really got me was when you said he lived in a
mansion on an African preserve; that you saw him dressed in ‘royal’ robes and
God called him “Chief”. What you did not know was that my husband had fallen in
love with Africa. It happened when the Navy sent him to Africa for three weeks.
The native people there quickly developed a strong relationship with Gerald (he
loved people) and did not want him to leave. They begged him to stay and told
him he was supposed to be their king. He had to leave them, but promised to come
back one day. He never forgot that experience and talked about returning to see
the people, but then he died unexpectedly.
God is so good to those who belong to him and have served him
while on earth. My husband was involved in prison ministry for several years and
loved to go and share with those who had no hope. What a reward God gave him!
Now he can live like a real chief and I am blessed every day
to know it. It changed my life to know that Heaven is so real and that we are
still remembered by our loved ones. It should not only give hope to us, but we
can know that we will be rewarded for the things we do for our Lord”.
Another fantastic trip to Heaven was when I was allowed to
tour a wondrous place they call The Portal. This is the place where all of
Heaven can come to view earth. There were angels present as well as the
Redeemed.
The immensity of the place left me speechless, I could not even see
the end walls. However, there were some columns near where I was walking that
looked to be about 60 feet high. The detail of the embellishments had to be done
by a master craftsman.
We finally approached the portal itself, which was
magnificent. It seemed that when you walked up to it, you were looking over a
balcony. The carvings on the rails and posts were finely detailed and wonderful
to touch. The atmosphere inside was charged with excitement and at the same
time, you were filled with awe. The light inside the structure was somewhat
subdued, so that your attention was drawn to the portal and your viewing would
not be interfered with.
As always, the presence of God saturated everything and
everyone. This was overwhelming to me, but perhaps that was because I was not a
permanent resident. It is always difficult to focus on one thing in Heaven,
because you do not just experience what you are seeing, and there are always
aromas present together with indescribable music. It stirs you and all you can
do is begin to declare God’s goodness.
All the people were wearing their gowns and robes. The gowns
were a brilliant white, but the robes were very different from each other. They
were designed and embellished according to your level of reward’ and service to
the Lord; and some were so glorious that they could hang in an art gallery. This
is one of the places in Heaven where it is requested that everyone come dressed
alike. I feel that it promotes a sense of unity among all those coming to view,
pray and cheer for their loved ones on earth.
It was extremely exciting to be there and I shall never
forget the expressions of love, joy, surprise and victory I saw on the faces of
the people. They were allowed to see significant events in their family’s lives,
such as marriages, births, celebrations and especially when they accepted Jesus
as their Savior. How good of God to bless them, so that they can still be a part
of the lives of those they left on earth.
Many people were leaning forward, whispering and gesturing to
those that had accompanied them to view. There were hundreds present at the time
I visited, but everyone saw something different
— it is one of the wonders of Heaven — to have the ability to
show everyone their specific families on earth all at the same time! There would
be normal conversation, until someone on earth became a Christian, and then
there was wild rejoicing and celebration. Everyone would congratulate the family
whose loved one had come to believe in Jesus. It is the most exciting thing that
happens at the portal. Another exciting event is when a loved one comes home to
Heaven. As soon as they realize that they are on their way, they race out to the
Gate to greet them.
After viewing for what seemed to be an hour (it is very
difficult to judge time by earth standards), I was instantly taken back to
earth. It was almost impossible to go back to my ‘normal’ earthly duties after
experiencing something supernatural like the portal. It is mentioned in the
bible in Hebrews 12: 1, where it talks about the ‘great cloud of witnesses’.
Remember now, we are always being watched!
The Face of a Child — Heaven’s Nurseries
This chapter is somewhat bittersweet. Sweet because that is
what babies are and they are kept in one of the most beautiful places I have
ever visited in Heaven. Bitter because it is one of the most populated places in
Heaven, thanks to the abortion clinics’ business over the past 40 years.
How
accountable are we all for the mass abuse of these tiny babies? They are human
lives swept under the carpet and remembered no more. Heaven knows how many of
their lives were shredded, they know, because they have ALL of them there! Not a
one was lost or discarded by our Heavenly Father.
Only because of His great mercy and Christ’s blood is there
forgiveness and healing available for this sin. Even the children, when grown to
the age of a toddler, go through a ceremony where they receive Jesus and forgive
the ones who took their lives. Yes, they know who their parents are and they are
conscious of what happened to them when they first arrive in Heaven. They do not
understand why they were not wanted, but they do forgive it.
These nurseries hold all the babies which are miscarried or aborted. They are
received by Jesus and He heals the wounds of their hearts. They are cared for by
angelic beings who sing to them as they rock them in their arms. The breath of
God nourishes them as they grow ever so slowly. Because of the goodness of God,
a 20 year old mother could miscarry her baby and 50 years later die and go to
Heaven; her baby would only be around 3 years old (in earth years). She is given
her baby when she arrives and she gets to raise it. How wonderful for all the
parents who thought they had completely lost that privilege!
The mercy of God allows the same thing for those who have
aborted their babies; then repent and come to know Christ and make it to Heaven.
For this reason alone, a second chance to hold your child in your arms and love
and raise it as your own; wouldn’t you want to make it there? Many will and they
can experience the joy of watching their child (once destroyed and now restored)
grow and become a happy, complete being! God desires this restoration in
families.
The
first illustration is of the angel, Rahmee, and a baby named Precious, who was
miscarried in 2006. This baby girl was wanted very badly by the parents and one
day she will be restored to them, because they have received Jesus as their
Savior. She will be treated like a princess until their arrival in Heaven.
There
will be many surprised women, who did not know they had miscarried a baby,
because it was so early in the pregnancy. What a shock when they arrive and find
a little ‘package’ waiting for them.
The facilities where these babies are cared for are very
beautiful. There are arched ceilings with openings at the top which cause the
rooms to be bathed in a warm peachy glow. Flowers are growing right out of the
walls and tiny birds come and perch on the branches to sing for the babies.
The
babies ‘beds’ have the appearances of beautiful sea shells that come out from
niches in the wall. Every baby’s name is etched in the wall above them;
embellished onto lovely ribbons if it is a girl and on stately shields if they
are boys. If you have a baby in Heaven and haven’t named it, please do so. Not
only does it show Heaven you accept the fact that your baby lives there, but
your child knows you cared enough to give it a name.
Some of the angels appear to be male and some female but they
all wore soft ivory gowns with pale colored sashes. They held the ‘tiny’ babies
(some only inches long) in the palm of their hands and the bigger ones against
their chests. As they sang to them, the breath of God nourished their little
spirits.
Even though these babies are tiny, they are different than the babies
here, because they do not necessarily need to sleep. They do rest, but they also
play. They already have the ability to ‘know’ things and they can communicate.
They are raised in the perfect love of God and joy is an automatic part of their
lives. It was a most beautiful place, filled with the peace of god. Their little
faces reflect the Glory of God and they will know Him as we all should know Him.
There are other places in Heaven for the older toddlers and
children where they can play and learn. One place allows them to play games with
the animals and actually slide down rainbows. Some of the landscape in the
children’s area is similar to different parts of earth, so they will be in
familiar surroundings while they adapt to being in Heaven. It is a fun and
exciting thing to be a child and live in Heaven. There will never be rejection,
pain, illness or loneliness in their lives. Family members come to see them
often and eventually, when they are big enough, are sent home with them to await
the arrival of their parents. Please be sure to make the right choice with your
life. Your children are waiting!
Entertainment - it was designed by God for our pleasure.
This will probably be one of the most surprising chapters of
the book, because not even I expected to find any of the following places in
Heaven. Most of these things would be beyond our imagination to exist there,
even though we should have expected God to create things for our enjoyment. The
word does say.. .if we delight ourselves in Him, He will give us the desires of
our heart; and fun would certainly be somewhere on that list. Since God is the
supreme Creator, He chose to do just that, create FUN for his people. I will
describe what it was like to visit three of these places.
I shared earlier, in Chapter Four, about the amusement park I
saw when God took me to heaven and showed Maurissa with her Great Grandfather.
The sketch I did was very simple and it did not show the tremendous gates that
welcomed you into the Park. They are always open and are not used in any way as
a security measure. There is absolutely no reason to have ‘security’ of any kind
in Heaven.
There are no thieves, nor any danger of anyone vandalizing anything.
The gates are merely used as a ‘landmark’ to show the entrance way to the Park.
The gates were very ornate, gold and were embellished with the color purple.
They rose to a height of approximately 20 feet and were banked on either side
with the most glorious flowers I had ever seen. Flowers were also growing on
either side of the path leading up to the gates. The sky above me was a soft
blue and had peach and gold streaks going across it.
As I walked along the path I was again overwhelmed at
experiencing this supernatural dimension. Light seems to come from everywhere
and everything. There are NO shadows! I know that sounds unbelievable, but it is
a fact — there are NO shadows in Heaven. It is also impossible to go anywhere
without music suddenly ‘appearing’ somewhere close by. Yes, I did say
‘appearing’ because: music is more than just a sound.
It has colors, sometimes
in the shape of ribbons and sometimes those ribbons even have the words of the
music being played. Worship happens continuously in Heaven and can be joined in
by anyone who wishes to do so. Angelic beings and the Redeemed many times join
in together. It is hard to resist becoming a part of a beautiful melody as it
floats above you on the way to the Throne Room.
All worship goes there and
becomes a ‘sweet’ aroma to the Father. It actually has a tangible presence and
many times also carries with it certain sweet or spicy aromas.
As I continued along the path towards the gate, I could hear
people both laughing and screaming. I could also hear the whizzing sound of the
cars racing down the track of the roller coaster. The cars on the track had the
appearance of huge bullets without a top on them and they had no wheels. I still
do not know how they raced about on the track without wheels, perhaps they rode
on a cushion of light. As I came closer, I could see the expressions on the
people’s faces. Some were laughing and shouting, while others were screaming at
the top of their voices. They were definitely having FUN. There was music coming
from somewhere in the Park, although it seemed to be coming from everywhere — it
is hard to explain.
I could see many other rides close by and in the distance. I
don’t know how big the park was, but there seemed to be no end to it. I was
tickled to see that not only people were riding the ‘Rush’. but angelic beings
were also enjoying it. I don’t know how they kept their wings from flapping, as
the roller coaster was going at a terrific speed.
When they reached the peak and
were about to plummet, everyone including the angels, raised their hands high
over their heads and screamed all the way down. It was GREAT! There is no chance
of injury, so things can move at a much greater speed in Heaven. There were
sections of the roller coaster that had no track and the cars actually ‘leapt’
to the other side. I don’t think there is much chance of seeing that in one of
earth’s parks! I am sure every teenager who comes here would love to live in
this neighborhood.

Heaven Is So Real By Choo Thomas.
There were many groups of people entering the park and going
to the various rides. The best part is there is NO fee, not ever; and you can
ride as often as you want. The vivid colors I saw on the stands and the rides
themselves will take your breath away (of course, up there you don’t need to
breathe). It makes it difficult to not use our ‘earthly’ terms when speaking
about a supernatural place. There were places to win awesome prizes, eat
delicious food (the aromas were attacking my senses every moment I was there)
and fascinating shows to see. There was nothing disgusting, grotesque or fearful
anywhere in the Park, but weird, wild and mind-blowing is a good way to describe
other things that go beyond our imagination!
One such place is called “Fly By” and is designed to let
anyone who is brave enough, learn to fly. As I mentioned previously, no one gets
wings when you come to Heaven, but there is a place you can ‘fly’. It is so much
fun to watch people, especially the ‘beginners’. They look like Peter Pan
wannabes, or they look like they are trying to ‘swim’ through the air.
There is
stadium seating available for those who want to observe their family or friends.
There is a separate area for intermediate and advanced flyers, but you do not go
there unless you have really developed this skill. I am sure there are many
young people who would love the chance to have a try at it.
There were so many other choices that I could probably write
a book on this place alone. I cannot begin to even describe some of the
incredible things God put there for us to enjoy. It was a glorious place
designed by our Father to thrill and delight His children of all ages!
Chapter Seven, continued--Heaven’s Reality Theaters.
In the Summer of 1996 while I was washing dishes in my
kitchen, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “Go and sit down, I want to take
you and show you Heaven’s movie theaters”. I responded with, “There are movie
theaters in Heaven?” “Yes”, He answered, “We call them ‘reality theaters’ and
earth has nothing like them”.
I went and sat down and almost instantly I was in
Heaven walking towards a spectacular large building. Even though it is always
light in Heaven, the bright neon type lights emanating from this building could
be seen for miles. Beautiful brilliant colors and contemporary music streamed
from this place. Many people and even some angels were heading towards the
entrance of the theaters.
Almost everyone was part of a group of either family and/or
friends. They seemed filled with expectancy and were definitely looking forward
to going to the movies. There were no ticket booths like on earth, so we all
just went through the doors into what appeared to be the far end of a huge lobby
area. I proceeded to follow a family of three; a father, mother and daughter.
They took the hallway to the left and I followed a little behind them.
I was not
sure where I was going, so thought I would hang back and see what happened. We
were approaching some double doors which appeared to take us into the main
seating area. The father and daughter went in through those doors, but to my
surprise the mother continued down the hallway and just before I passed through
the double doors behind her family, I saw her go through a single door a little
further down from us.
I did not think much about it, because I was too busy taking
in my surroundings. The theatre was done in what we would call modern decor. The
design of the seats was fantastic and when you sat in them, they molded
themselves to fit everyone’s unique shape. They were the most comfortable seats
I ever sat in, it was as if ‘comfort’ came up and wrapped itself around you. The
strange thing was the fact that I did not see anything that looked like a
screen. Suddenly, the whole wall directly in front of us appeared to turn into
liquid form and then became solid before our very eyes; it was the screen. How
strange, but it was about to get even stranger.
The lights, which seemed to be coming from wide strips built
into the walls, dimmed and the movie started. The family I had followed in was
sitting directly in front of me. I was wondering why the mother had not yet
joined them, when they began to laugh somewhat nervously. My eyes went to the
screen and I was thrilled to see the movie title come across, “The Sound of
Music”; it was one of my all-time favorites. What happened next though, really
shocked me. Instead of Julie Andrews running across the hilltop, it was the
‘missing’ mother of the family I had followed in. They clapped excitedly for a
brief moment and whispered together, nodding their heads towards the screen. I
immediately wondered, “Why is she playing the leading role?” The Holy Spirit
said, “This is her appointed time, which is why her family is here; so they can
enjoy her debut”. My mind was trying to comprehend his words, but all that came
out was, “That is not possible, she just arrived and walked in that other door.
How can she be in a movie that hasn’t actually been made yet?” The Holy Spirit
laughed and said, “It doesn’t have to be ‘made’, it is captured. Come and I will
show you”.
Instantly, I was no longer in the theatre, but on the hilltop
watching the mother singing the opening tune of the movie. I wanted to pinch
myself, because I just did not get it! How is this possible? I saw none of the
normal equipment used on movie lots and only two individuals were present other
than the mother and me. One was holding a strange apparatus the size of a
hairbrush which seemed to be supplying all of the music and sound effects for
the movie. The other individual had an even stranger device which I can only
guess, captures the movie and simultaneously sends it back to the theatre
screen. I looked around and the scenery, which was real, not manufactured as
props, was exactly like it was in the original movie. In the distance, I could
see the convent with its bell tower. The meadows were beautifully green with
small white flowers dotting the hillsides, and the valleys with meandering
streams looked like something from an artist’s canvas. Finally, it dawned on me,
“How absolutely wonderful, you can go see the movie or be in it”! Instantly I
was again sitting in the theatre. Who would have ever imagined such a thing: it
really was a ‘reality’ theatre. When the movie ended, the mother joined her
family and they all went off to celebrate her movie debut.
I thought that would be the end of my tour, but not yet. I
followed another family; father, mother and their two sons to another theater.
This time only the mother went in to be seated and the father with his two sons
proceeded on down the hall. I went in and sat down, this time waiting with
anticipation. It did not take long for the movie to start and this time it was a
western. Much to both my and the mother’s delight, her husband and two sons
appeared on the screen, riding on horseback out across a prairie. They were
dressed like real cowboys and speeding away to catch up to another rider in
front of them. I could hardly believe my eyes, it was John Wayne and he had
blazing pistols in both hands as he rode after some villain. I embarrassed
myself by letting out a loud laugh and exclaimed at the same time, “It’s the
Duke, he made it to Heaven!” Everyone else in the theater laughed at my
outburst. I was surprised they could hear me, because usually I was an unseen
observer.
When the movie ended. I was taken right back to my kitchen
table. I don’t know how long in Heaven’s ‘time span’ I was there, but in earth
time it was only a few seconds. This would be the end, except I was taken again
just a few months ago. I was sitting at my computer thinking about the time I
had gone to see the movies; when suddenly. I was there again. This time an angel
was escorting me across the lot to the building. He said, “We wanted you to
visit the lobby area so you could tell how movies are advertised and how you
sign up to be in them”. “This is so exciting; I get to go twice and without even
asking”!
As we entered the building, we were jostled by others also
trying to enter. It looked like everyone in Heaven was there. Families and
friends all coming together to either be in a movie or watch their loved ones
fulfill their dream of acting. I was so absorbed watching the people that I
started walking backwards and soon walked right into what appeared to be a
battle going on all around me. I jumped, thinking I was being attacked. Then I
realized that none of the swords being wielded were actually touching me. I
stood, transfixed by the scene before me.
It was then I realized I was standing
in the middle of a scene from ‘Star Wars’. The action continued all around me
when I finally understood that I was standing in a hologram and not something
that was actually live. I ran outside the preview and saw many other such
holograms taking place all over the lobby. This was their ‘advertising’ the
angel had mentioned. Fantastic, I thought. You don’t just view an upcoming
movie, you can join into it! There were holograms on platforms, smaller ones on
pedestals and some even on top of tables which people were sitting at in a
nearby cafe.
I looked over to my right and saw a line of people waiting to
use a device near the wall that looked similar to our ATMs. I knew they did not
use money, so I came closer. It was some type of monitor where you could see
which movies were going to be showing soon and what parts were left that you
could take in the movie. I watched as two young girls (around 12 years old,
earth years) signed up to be in a movie together. They were very excited about
the whole thing and giggled continuously. When I turned back around, I was
instantly sitting in front of my computer again. “WOW”, I exclaimed. I loved it
and I couldn’t wait to tell someone what just happened. It is definitely
exciting to be in Heaven, it is the place where the ‘never dreamed of’ things
happen all the time!
This was so much fun, but I wondered how they determined
which movies made it to Heaven and which did not. The Holy Spirit explained to
me that no movie that contained filth of any kind, i.e., seductive or sexual
content, nudity (even brief), graphic violence, profane or crude language would
not be permitted. I guess that means a lot of ”G” and “PG” only!
Maybe Hollywood should adapt their standards, because I don’t
think a lot of what they have been putting out lately would make it to Heaven.
If you are an actor or actress and plan on going to Heaven you better consider
the roles you accept down here if you want it shown up there. If you have
accepted Christ as your Savior, at least now you know you can still have a
future to use your gift in heaven.
If you do not accept Him and end up in Hell, you have NO
future except to spend eternity in agony and fear. The only entertainment there
is for the demons that torment you.
The third place I visited was both fun and educational. They
call it the Hall of the Nations and there were things to do both inside and
outside. I was taken inside where there was a lobby area and people greeted by a
host or hostess. Sometimes I could not be sure if they (the greeters) were human
or created beings. There are other created beings in Heaven that are not angels,
or at least they do not have wings. They look very similar to us except if you
look real close, you can see that they appear to be somewhat transparent. They
are always friendly and always know you by name.
Running off
from the lobby were many long hallways and all of them had people coming and
going. I went down one of the annexes and stopped at what looked like some type
of ‘station’ protruding out of the wall. Further down the hallway I saw
literally dozens of these ‘stations’.
As I stepped towards it, a low stage-like
platform rose up from the floor. It was round and looked like it was made of
glass, but I don’t believe it was. I stepped up onto the platform and
immediately in front of me appeared a floor to ceiling mirror / monitor with
reflective abilities.
It was the color of burnished pewter and I could see
myself in it. The monitor had a six inch modern looking (or we might call it
‘futuristic’) frame all the way around it and on the side it had two small
scanning devices in the shape of an arrow pointing up and one pointing down. The
whole device had a strange quality to it, in that you could see no ‘seams’ or
any way of joining or holding the unit together. It amazed me!
I looked down the hallway and could see a young man who
looked of ‘Asian’ decent stepping up onto one of the platforms. (In Heaven, the
Redeemed are made up from all the nations). He was wearing a green tunic outfit,
but was wearing no shoes. This tunic must be a normal piece of everyone’s
wardrobe, because I have seen it being worn all over Heaven in every type of
style, color and fabric imaginable.
I was watching to see what he would do next,
when he reached forward and passed his hand over the top arrow on the frame.
Immediately, a solid stream of light in the shape of a cylinder, poured over
him. It was coming from a small dome in the ceiling above him and completely
covered his entire being from head to toe. What I saw happen next, completely
floored me. Right before my eyes, he was transformed from the Asian race to
Bahamian!
Everything about him was different; his skin, his hair, his
face and even his clothes. The only thing that remained the same was his body
size and his eyes. I almost fell off my platform, but was able to regain my
composure. “That is so cool”, I said as I heard him laughing at himself. He also
appeared transformed in the monitor on the wall. When he was done, he leaned
forward, passed his hand over the down arrow and everything changed back as the
light went off.
I quickly turned, leaned forward and touched my ‘up’ arrow. A
second later, I was no longer Caucasian, but a female Aborigine (with blue
eyes). It was quite a sight to see! As long as I stood within the cylinder of
light, my appearance did not change back; but if l extended my arm out beyond
the light, that part of my body went back to its original state.
You could look
down at yourself and not just ‘see’ you were different, but you could touch your
skin and hair and ‘feel’ the difference. How marvelous, I never dreamed of
anything like this being possible. I stared at myself for a few more moments and
then passed my hand over the ‘down’ arrow and the light dissolved from around me
and I was once again, back to my old self.
Nothing could stop me from running to one station after
another to see what I would become. The next one, I was an American Indian, then
an Asian, then Dutch, Italian and before they took me back I was a Scottish
lass. Each time you started as yourself, wearing your tunic outfit, except for
me; I had on a t-shirt and jeans, and whatever ethnic group you became, you
would be wearing the traditional or native dress that went with it. I would have
liked to have kept the bagpipes. but maybe when I ‘permanently’ come home, I
will learn to play them!
What a delightful thought, to be able to see and feel what it
is like to step into the shoes of another. There are definitely ‘supernatural’
things to do up there and I only experienced a few of them.
Your giving and kindness is remembered forever!
In this chapter 1 will reveal what I was told and shown about
the memorials that man builds in Heaven and how they are before’ God forever.
There is a story in the Book of Acts, Chapter 10, about a
Gentile named Cornelius. He was a good man and gave much money to the poor. He
had a kind heart and was known throughout the region. Cornelius was not just
building a reputation on earth, but in Heaven too. So much so, that God sent an
Angel to Cornelius with these words: (KJV) “Your prayers and your alms have come
up for a memorial before God” or from the Everyday Bible, New Century Version:
“He (God) has seen that you give to the poor and remembers you”. And from the
Living Bible: “Your prayers and your charities have not gone unnoticed by God”.
God was so impressed with Cornelius’s goodness towards the poor that He wanted
to make sure he had an opportunity to hear the gospel. He even prepared Peter
ahead of time (through a vision) so he would not reject him because he was a
Gentile.
We cannot get into Heaven with our works, only accepting
Jesus qualifies you for that. However, when we live our lives the same way as
Cornelius (unselfishly), we too build a memorial in Heaven with our generosity.
There are many people here on earth, some are very well known, that have built
fantastic memorials in Heaven. Some are so big that they look like small cities;
with large fountains, gardens and benches to sit on. There are galleries where
you can go inside and actually view some of the kind acts they have performed.
Their names are always displayed on some type of plaque or on the monument
itself. If you know someone who has a giving heart and they continually help
others, they probably have one of these memorials. It doesn’t matter where you
go in Heaven, these memorials are everywhere.
Two memorials in particular caught my eye. One was made from
mother-of-pearl and it shone brightly against the landscape. It was the size of
a city park, with beautiful waterfalls that ended into the basin of a large
fountain. All around the base wall of the fountain were figurines of children in
various stages of play.
Their little faces filled with delight and expectation.
The upper wall of the fountain had the most beautiful butterflies engraved into
it. They were so real that I expected them to take flight at any moment. At the
very top of the fountain was a scrolled plaque which read: “A MEMORIAL FOR YOUR
LOVE AND KINDNESS TO THE FORGOTTEN CHILDREN OF THE WORLD”.
The detail work on the fountain must have been done by one of
Heaven’s best artisans. Flowers were in bloom everywhere and the fragrance from
them stirred your senses; some of them cascaded down the walls that surrounded
the extensive gardens. Peacocks strutted across the grounds and were perching on
some of the smaller fountains which ran alongside the wall. What a beautiful
place to have been formed from someone’s labors of love towards the needy!
This memorial belongs to a precious Christian woman who is
often maligned by both the secular world and even by some of those in leadership
who profess to know Christ. This does not please the Father, but rather saddens
Him. He highly honors her in heaven for efforts.
She has remembered the orphans
and the abandoned of the world and is doing something about it! Watch your words
and do not touch God’s anointed. You may not approve of them personally and if
you truly feel they have made mistakes, then pray for them.
The bible says if
they are producing good fruit with their lives on behalf of Christ, then they
are ‘for’ Him and not against Him. Do not let your own words delay or defeat
what God has for you by speaking against any of His children.
The other memorial I saw was just as spectacular, but very
different in design. It too started with a large fountain, but this one had a
transparent bridge which passed over top of it. It had a more ‘modern’ design to
it and seemed to be filled with this beautiful blue light.
As you entered the
bridge and began to pass over this huge fountain, you look down into smaller
pools that were part of its design and instead of seeing your own reflection,
you saw the faces of all those who had been helped in some way by this
individual. The things you viewed, had actually taken place at some time and had
been captured by Heaven and secured into this memorial. Not only could you see
the expression on the people’s faces, but you could hear the very words of
gratitude they spoke to this individual.
Masses of roses and white Baby’s Breath surrounded this
fountain and went up the sides of the huge columns that were a part of its
structure. Platforms came out from either side of the fountain where at various
times, Heaven’s symphonies would come and play concerts for the enjoyment of all
those present. The glorious music could be heard for some distance and all those
who heard it would stop and give glory to God for His goodness to others.
Near the
fountain area were multiple areas for sitting and fellow- shipping with others,
which is a favorite pastime of this individual. They really love people and the
only reward they ask is what they see in the peoples’ faces they help. Many of
these people were extremely needy and had their lives changed forever, because
of the efforts of this person.
There are areas where small children can come and enjoy
playing on a variety of unusual playthings. Some I had never seen before, like
the bubble balls. A child would walk up into this domed structure which had a
hole at the top and as they stood there, a large bubble would encase them and
they would float out and start bouncing off their friends’ bubbles. They would
laugh and shout as they floated about. When they tired of it, they simply
‘popped’ their bubble and would return to the ground.
How wonderful that not only was this individual bringing
happiness to children on earth, but in Heaven also. God’s love had been
expressed through this person, time and time again. They did not even realize
they had been influenced by the Spirit of God to do a lot of these ‘acts of
kindness’.
They were wealthy in their own right and could have been selfish, but
chose instead to use their life for the betterment of others. They were never
prejudice against any particular group, but treated everyone fairly as the bible
says we should. As a result, this magnificent memorial was built with their
love.
It would be a crime if the one who built this memorial, never got to see
it. As I said before, your memorial does not guarantee entry into Heaven, if
they do not accept Christ; the memorial will remain but they will never see it!
Some people may try to argue that God would have nothing in
heaven that relates to the sinner; however, Cornelius and his family got saved
after the angel came and spoke. This is proof that God not only hears the prayer
of the unsaved, but even recognizes the good things they do for the poor and
needy. God desires to draw close to us, that is why He created man; so that He
could have a family to have fellowship with.
One important lesson God taught me was to never try and judge
the heart of man; only he knows what is in it. He decides who goes, because He
is the only judge! Many will make last-minute confessions and there will be many
people in Heaven that we never expected to see there.
Will your life build a memorial before the Throne of God? It
is a most Holy place and all things must be passed through the fire before being
presented. Even though there is dancing, singing and celebrating, it is still a
place of reverence and ‘awe’. Many times the Glory is so heavy, no one can stand
in it; and they fall prostrate before the throne. It is a place that is always
available to all who dwell in Heaven. The Father welcomes any who wish to see
Him.
Jesus and the Father and Holy Spirit are one, in that they have the ability
to go ‘in’ and ‘out’ of each other. They think alike, feel alike and love alike;
and are all “equally” HOLY! When you pray, you are talking to all of them. When
you worship, you are honoring all of them. Develop a lifestyle of prayer and
worship that is how you pursue an ‘intimacy’ with them. They desire it, more
than you know!
THE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS TO BE A PART OF THEIR FAMILY.
No Party in Hell, Only demons rejoice
This chapter is a continuation of Chapter Two where I talked
about Hell. It is a TERRIBLE place, full of fear and torment and NO WAY of
escape. Hell was never intended for man, but was made for the devil and his
fallen angels. God is love and desires that none should perish; but because he
is holy, no sin can abide in his presence. If you do not repent from sin, you
cannot come to heaven and the only other choice you get is Hell. Who would want
to be separated from their loved ones for all eternity?
I was actually in prayer one evening when I was taken and
shown Hell. No one who has been there could ever forget the horror of that
place. I am grateful that I did not get the full effect, in that I only observed
it and did not personally experience torture or the searing heat from the
flames. I know that others who have been there were literally dropped in and
they did experience the pain, suffering and worst of all, the separation from
God. Believe me, seeing it was bad enough for me.
That was one of the times I was actually told where I was
being taken and for what purpose. God knew when I told people about Heaven. I
would need to warn them about Hell too. Many people do not believe in Hell, but
that will not keep them from going there. Can you imagine a person living a
good’ life and because they rejected Christ, end up in such a place. It would be
like having your worst nightmare come true.
Your only company would be demons
who hate you. They hate you, because they hate God and we are made in His image.
Their greatest pleasure is tearing someone apart, literally.
The screams were almost unbearable to me and I knew there
would never be any mercy in Hell. Fear ruled there and even if you had a
momentary reprieve from the demonic torment until it started all over again, the
mental torment never stops.
You may have heard the saying. “Let’s party in Hell”! Well,
the only ones who do that are the demonic beings. They rejoice every time a new
victim arrives. If two friends should arrive together, one will be dragged away
and the other must watch in helpless horror as their friend is shredded before
their eyes; unable to answer their screams for help.
Sometimes, people are thrown into pits filled with fire and
small animal-like demons that bite you continuously. You will feel all the pain
as wound after wound appears on your body. The heat is unquenchable as it
produces huge blisters all over your body and the smell of scorched flesh is
everywhere.
Another form of torture used in hell is the stone tomb. They
entomb you in a space barely high enough to stand and not wide enough to kneel
or sit. It is the blackest black you have ever experienced and it is bitter
cold. Small spider demons that have human heads crawl all over you as they
scream blasphemes nonstop. The sound pierces your head again and again until you
think you will go insane.
Not only does your exhausted body have no way to lie down;
but if you try to relax your legs, they scrape against the sharp needlelike
stones on the sides of the tomb. It is agony to have no rest and no water for
your dehydrated body which is already suffering starvation pains. You wish you
could cease to exist, so the suffering will stop; but it never does.
My viewing of Hell was brief, but it doesn’t take long to
realize that no one will want to end up there. People say they do not believe a
merciful loving God could send anyone to Hell. They are right, He does not send
anyone there; they make that choice themselves.
We must guard our hearts so that once saved, you do not sin
against God. It is possible to accept Christ and start outliving right, but then
we get pulled away from God either by our own selfish lusts or we are enticed by
the things the devil has planted in this world; such as drugs, alcohol,
immorality, greed, hate, homosexuality, mysticism, witchcraft and devil worship.
Those are the obvious ones, but there are also the not so
obvious; and one of them is unforgiveness. The bible clearly says, “If you do
not forgive, you will NOT be forgiven”. Please do not let this hideous sin be
found in you. Be quick to forgive if someone asks. Do not hold it in your heart,
because you will miss Heaven. Even if you accepted Christ, lived a good life and
helped the poor; all wonderful things according to the bible, but harbored
unforgiveness in your heart - YOU WILL NOT GO TO HEAVEN.
Do not think that by simply saying a ‘sinner’s prayer it
seals you forever to go to Heaven. You must sincerely mean it and even though
salvation is free, that does not give you a license to live any way you want to.
If you then continue to live a life of sin and disregard God’s commandments, you
never really had a true conversion!
God is bound by His word and whatever you sow, you will reap;
and that includes unforgiveness! If you need help in order to forgive someone,
pray and ask, because God is faithful. Anyone who goes to hell will NEVER be
free and never feel peace, kindness or love again. Even their future has been
planned for them: it will be spent burning in the Lake of Fire for all eternity!
If any of your family members went there, they are screaming out to God to not
let you come there! Please choose Christ while there is yet time!
Making your election sure, so you can make it to Heaven.
This chapter will clearly explain how to get saved, or as
some call it ‘born again’. What it means is you will no longer he separated from
God by sin, but you become a part of His family by accepting Jesus as your
Savior and, therefore will go to Heaven when you die. There is scripture which
explains it all.
John 3:16, 17; “For God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have
everlasting life. For God sent not His son into the world that it might be
condemned, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
It is that simple and
it is a free gift. You must confess your sins and receive Him by faith. Jesus is
the only way to the Father. Don’t wait until you ‘clean up’ your life, He will
take you just as you are: then He will change you from the inside, out!
Once you have repented of your sins, you become a new
individual and the ‘old’ you passes away. This means your heart has been changed
and now desires the things of God and not the wicked things they once did. In
order for you to grow spiritually, you must begin to read the word of God. It
also helps to develop relationships with those who have known God for some time
and can help you pursue a strong Christian walk. If you get connected with a
local ministry, they can offer practical guidance and counsel to help you find
your destiny and purpose God made you for.
The next step is to be baptized in water, which is an outward
sign of the inward change that has taken place in your life. It signifies that
we have ‘died’ with Christ and now resurrected, have become a new person. Most
local churches hold baptismal services on a regular basis and would be glad to
welcome you into the family of God by baptizing you. The first church, as
explained in the book of Acts, baptized all new converts.
Then, you should allow the Holy Spirit to take control of
your life by seeking the baptism of the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in
tongues. This empowers you as it did the apostles in the book of Acts. I would
advise reading the entire book to see what a difference this made in their
lives. You become more sensitive to hear the inner voice of God speaking to you.
The Holy Spirit was sent to be a guide and a comforter; He is not something to
be frightened of or to avoid, as taught by some denominations. When the great
outpouring mentioned in the Foreword of this book takes place, many will
simultaneously be filled with the Holy Spirit and the results will be
miraculous!
Everyone who professes to be a follower of Christ should
represent His character. He came because He loved all people and therefore, we
should do the same. We cannot love the ‘sin’ people fall into, but we can ‘love’
them to Christ. Read the book of Galatians to learn how brothers and sisters in
Christ should treat each other. We should all strive to have a good report
recorded in Heaven.
Jesus desires you to experience victory over sin every day of
your life. The word of God says, “Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world;
and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith” (I John 5:4).
The devil will bring temptation to you, but you do not have to do it. Jesus can
help you win every time, because “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is
in the world” (I John 4:4).
When you feel that pressure to give in to sin just
run to Him and He will help you. If you do fall and sin the worst thing you can
do is try to hide it, confess your sin quickly and receive His forgiveness. If
you hide sin the devil will use it against you and then condemnation will come.
The longer you wait, the harder it will be to repent. His forgiveness is
available for us all and His blood can make the vilest sinner FREE!
I not only know that Christ died for our sins and poured out
His blood before the throne of God, but I have seen it! I will now share one of
the most unusual and unforgettable experiences I have ever had. It was April
1998 and I was at the evening church service. At this time I had been seeking a
deeper relationship with the Father and had spent many evenings worshipping and
interceding at my home. I was hungry’ for more of the Lord and when you get to
that place in your life, He will make sure you get it.
We had been worshipping for about thirty minutes and then
Pastor stopped and called certain people down for prayer. He asked for anyone
who was in the full time ministry, whether they were licensed ministers or lay
ministers. I knew God had told me I would one day be in full time ministry, but
resisted, because that time had not yet arrived.
Pastor laid hands on those who
had gone forward, prayed for them and released them to return to their seats. I
could feel the glory of God in the sanctuary and I knew that angels were
present. I felt the Holy Spirit impressing me that I should have gone down to be
prayed for, so I said to Him, “If Pastor says, there is still one more person
who needs to come, then I will go”. The very next moment, my Pastor said those
very words, so I went forward.
The closer I got to the front, the stronger the glory of God
became. It became hard to breathe and I began to feel heat all around me. They
had an usher stand behind me, because sometimes when the power of God is
released into you, you can actually go down. When Pastor laid hands on me, I
felt fire’ go all the way up through my body. It was so powerful that not only
did it knock me back, but the usher got thrown back also.
God used the hands of
my Pastor to release this fire into my spirit. It went through my entire being,
burning up anything that was not of God. The walls of my heart were wiped clean
of any desire for the world, any past bad memories and then went up through my
head to cleanse my thought life. I was now a pure vessel, set aside for the
Father’s use. I had been baptized with fire!
I only remember going down to the floor and my body began to
shake violently. I was not injured in any way, but was consumed by the Glory and
that was how my body reacted to it. I vaguely remember someone covering me and
walking away. Later I found out that I shook through the remainder of the
service, the whole time lying on the floor down front. Pastor knew God was doing
something and would not allow anyone to touch or move me. They actually locked
me in the church and left a security person there to call my family when I was
able to leave. My daughter told me the next morning that it was she who had left
a note with our home phone number stuffed up my sleeve. She had waited until
almost midnight, but I was still lying there shaking. What she did not know was
where I had been taken by the Spirit of God.
When I hit the floor, seconds later the angel of the Lord
took me (my spirit) and left this earth. In all the times I have gone to Heaven
it is always ‘in an instant’ and I do not feel I have traveled at all. I am just
here and a second later I am somewhere in Heaven. It was different this time,
because suddenly it felt like we were moving in ‘warp’ speed. I actually saw
millions of lights coming at me, just like you would see in a movie. We traveled
for some time and suddenly we stopped and I felt my feet hit the ground. I
opened my eyes and I instantly knew I was not in Heaven. When I realized where I
was my heart caught in my throat, for I was standing outside the tomb of Jesus
and the stone had already been rolled away. “Oh God”, I said, “what am I seeing?”
I heard someone crying and turned and I saw a beautiful girl
with something under her arm. She looked to be around nineteen or twenty years
old and had long black hair. She looked into the tomb and saw the angels, who
asked her why she was crying. She said, “They have taken away my Lord and I
don’t know where they put Him.” Just then Jesus appeared, but Mary did not
recognize Him. She asked him if he had taken Jesus. Then Jesus said, “Mary.” She
ran towards him, her face now radiant with joy, as she called out, “Rabboni.” (I
believe that means ‘teacher’ in the Jewish language.) Jesus said to her, “Do not
touch me Mary, because I have to go to my Father first. Tell the others where I
am going, to my Father and your Father.” She ran off to tell the others what
Jesus said.
As soon as she left a large company of angels appeared in the
sky and as Jesus rose to meet them, I followed. It was a breathtaking site as we
rose up together, I will NEVER forget it. I did not care if anyone ever believed
me; this would always be a ‘divine’ time in my life.
The angels were flanking
out and around Jesus, as we continued up through the heavens. Even though the
atmosphere around us would have normally been dark, the brilliance from the
Glory around Jesus lit up the entire area. We passed through the second heaven
with no interference and proceeded towards a light that looked brighter than the
sun.
As we
entered the third heaven, which is where God’s home is, thousands upon thousands
of angels had come to greet Jesus upon His return from the grave. They escorted
us through the gates and towards the Throne Room. The site I saw next is hard to
explain, and even as I write about it, the Glory I felt then rests upon me now!
There was an innumerable amount of angels prostrate on the floor as Jesus walked towards the throne and His Father. The angel
of the Lord had been carrying a beautiful vase with him the entire time and now
he was offering to Christ as he stepped before His Father.
In front of us was a low type of alter and on it was a
gorgeous runner whose threads that bound it together seemed to be alive.
Gold,
silver, purple, red, and green were the moving colors in this piece of
fabric. I could hardly stand; the power emanating from the throne was so
great. Lightning
was shooting forth and it sounded like great thunder, as the Father
raised His right hand.
Then suddenly, there was absolute silence as Jesus took the
vase and bent over the altar. Just before He began to pour out His blood, I saw
a word appear on the cloth in front of Him. It said, ‘Fear’,
but as the blood
hit it, I heard a sound like water hitting a hot pan, ‘SSSSSSSSS’; immediately
the word evaporated. One by one, words appeared on the cloth and every time the
blood would dissolve them. Words like, ‘Hate, Disease, Grief, Murder
Homosexuality, Insanity, Adultery, Pain’, and many more; each time being
dissolved by the blood of Jesus. When the last word; ‘DEATH’, appeared the blood
hit it and it was gone forever. God stood up and raised both arms, He shouted,
“YES! It is finished”!
Everyone in the Throne Room shouted and danced with joy.
Jesus had accomplished it, the supreme sacrifice had been made and the blood
offering paid in full. The ‘living’ runner now containing Christ’s precious
blood would be kept forever upon the mercy seat of God. What a holy thing to
experience, I am surprised I lived through it!
(I was then returned to the church)
It was around 5:00 a.m. before they could call my husband to
come and get me; and he had to carry me out. I was not normal for about two
weeks. I had many visions during that time and will share them another time. I
truly know He paid the supreme price for all of us. How can anyone refuse such
Love?
Eternal Planning, salvation is free, but your life lived now,
determines your eternal position!
This chapter explains how your eternal position is determined
and you are actually the one who decides it. People do many types of planning in their lifetime; Vacation
Plans, Home building Plans, Savings Plans, College Fund Plans, Retirement
Planning and even Estate Planning. The most important, but most overlooked
planning is ETERNAL PLANNING.
I am not talking about getting saved so you can
make it to Heaven. I am talking about something far beyond that. Your eternal
position. which once set will never be changed. You can work towards it until
you die, after that there is not much you can do. That means you find out what
God’s purpose is for your life and you accomplish it. He has a destiny for all
of us. You will either rule or reign with Christ in the new earth, or you will
serve others.
One of the most important things you will be held accountable
for will be what God called you to do with your life. We all have specific
destinies and God gives us the gifts, talents and grace to accomplish it. If you
do not know what your calling is, seek God and He will reveal it to you.
The bible clearly says that our gifts and callings are
without repentance. This means that you will not be excused from fulfilling
God’s purpose for your life. You will make it to Heaven, but you will have no
reward for doing your own ‘stuff’ if you have not accomplished God’s stuff.
You do receive reward for any kindness you show, because the
word of God says, “If you give a cup of water to a little one in Jesus name, you
will in no wise lose your reward”. These rewards are different than the one you
receive for accomplishing God’s calling on your life. Make sure your life counts
for the Kingdom of God. Your reward will be to spend eternity ruling with
Christ. You will never regret it!
A FINAL NOTE FROM THE FATHER TO HIS BODY.
Please STOP fighting each other. I made you all and I love
you all. You were given different callings and anointing. DO NOT come against
anyone who is doing My work. Do you not know that My Word says, Touch not my
anointed’; and yet you despise and devour each other!
You are all ONE family and you will live that way in Heaven
and throughout eternity. I did not separate you from each other; that is man’s
tradition. I am about to show up and interrupt a lot of those traditions because
in these last days it is crucial that you all work together. The world will know
you for your love of each other.
