Chapter 12 - A New World Is Coming

 For many days after my final sojourn in hell, I was desperately sick. I had to have the lights on when I slept. I needed the Bible with me at all times, and I read it constantly. My soul was in severe shock. I had experienced some of what the lost endure when they go to hell. Jesus would say, "Peace, be still!" (Mark 4:39), and peace would flood my soul. Yet, within a few moments I would again be screaming, hysterically with fear.

During this time, I knew that I was never alone and that Jesus was always there. Nevertheless, even with that knowledge, I sometimes could not feel His presence. Sometimes I was so afraid of having to go back to hell that I was fearful to even have Jesus near me. When I tried to tell others about my experiences in hell, they would not listen to me. I begged them, "Please, repent of your sins before it’s too late." It was difficult for anyone to believe what I told them about the torment that I had endured, as well as what Jesus had told me to write about hell. The Lord reassured me that He was the Lord who heals. Even though I was not convinced I would ever fully recover, complete healing did come, slowly but surely.

PARADISE OF PEACE

And then it happened again. Again I was with the Lord Jesus, and we were soaring high up in the sky. Jesus said, "I want to show you the love and goodness of God and parts of Heaven. I want you to see the wondrous works of the Lord, which are so beautiful to behold." An angel said to me, "See the goodness and kindness of the Lord your God. His mercy endures forever."

There was such a sense of love and tenderness about the angel that I was about to weep when he spoke again, "Behold the Power and Might and Majesty of God. Let me show you the place He has created for the children." Suddenly, there was a large planet looming before us, a planet that appeared to be as large as the earth. 

Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband...Revelation 21:1-2

The next thing I heard was the voice of the Father saying, 

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all one. The Father and the Son are one, and the Father and the Holy Spirit are one. I sent My Son to die on a cross so that no one needs to be lost.

I am about to show you the place I made for My children. I care greatly about all my children. I care when a mother loses a child, even as the fruit of your womb was cast before its time. You see, I know all things, and I care.

From the time there is life in the womb, I know. I know about the babies that are murdered while they are still in their mother’s bodies-the aborted lives that are cut off and unwanted. I know about the stillborn and those children who are born with crippling defects. From the time of conception, each is a soul.

My angels go down and bring the children to Me when they die. In Heaven they are loved, and they become perfect beings. I give them whole bodies and restore whatever parts are missing. I give them perfected bodies.

All over the planet there was a feeling of being loved, a sense of perfect well-being. Every thing was perfect. Here and there amid the lush green grass and pools of crystal clear water were marble seats and highly polished wooden benches to sit on.

Everywhere I looked, there were children engaged in all kinds of activities. Each child wore a spotless white robe and sandals. The white robes were so bright that they glistened in the magnificent light on the planet. A profusion of color everywhere accented the whiteness of the children’s robes. Angels were the keepers of the entrance, and the children’s names were all written in a book.

I saw children learning the Word of God and being taught music from a golden book. I was surprised to see animals of all sorts coming up to the children or sitting beside them while they were in this angelic school. There were no tears and no sorrow. Every thing was supremely beautiful. Joy and happiness were everywhere.

Then the angel showed me another planet that glowed like a great light before me. The light shone with the radiance of a million stars, and everything on the planet was beautiful and alive. In the distance I saw two mountains made of pure gold, while closer to me were two golden gates, in which diamonds and other precious stones were embedded. I knew in my heart that this was the New Earth and that the city lying in splendor before me was the New Jerusalem-the city of God as it will come down to Earth. 

EARTH AGAIN

Quickly, I was back viewing the old earth, but the earth as it will be after the Great Tribulation but before the final fires of Armageddon will ultimately purge it. In this scene, too, I saw Jerusalem, the capital city of the millennium.

In my vision, I saw people coming from far and near, making their way toward this city. Here Jesus was King, and all the nations of the earth brought Him gifts and paid Him homage. Not only was He King in fact, He was also recognized as King of Kings! Jesus gave me the interpretation of my vision and gave me greater clarity about what will happen then: 

Soon I will return and take back with Me to Heaven the righteous dead first. Then after them, those who are alive and remain will be caught up to be with Me in the air. Following that, the antichrist will reign upon the earth for an appointed time, and there will be tribulations such as have never been before, nor will ever be again. And then I will return with My saints, and satan will be cast into the bottomless pit, where he will remain for a thousand years. During that thousand years, I will reign over the earth from Jerusalem. When the Millennium is past, satan will be released for a season, and I will defeat him by the brightness of My coming. The old earth will pass away. Behold, there shall be a New Earth and a New Jerusalem coming down upon it, and I will reign forever and ever.

Chapter 11 - The Word of God

In many services where I go, I see so many beautiful things that the angels are doing. You know, of course, that the angels are ministering spirits of the Lord sent forth to minister to the heirs of salvation. (See Hebrews 1:13) Once I saw a minister prophesying. As he was prophesying, God opened up my eyes to see an angel over his head. The angel was pouring on him what looked like oil mingled with fire, out of a horn. Then I saw the man’s heart in a vision. It was full of the Bible, the Word of God. The Word seemed to come up from his heart, into his throat, and out his mouth. I could see the Word as it came out of his mouth. As it hit the air, it seemed to become a two-edged sword. Another angel was recording what the man of God said. I thought, "Oh, God, this is truly your Word going forth to the people."

Then I saw one of the angels holding the Holy Scriptures. As the man began to preach the living Word of God, the words seemed to leap off the pages of the Bible. They would go into his heart and out of his mouth. As this happened, the words of the Bible became a two-edged sword.

As the minister prayed for people who were sick or afflicted with diseases, it seemed that the Lord allowed me to see a dark spot in a lung, a leg, a heart, or wherever the affliction was. The sword of the Word would go to the affected place in the body, and heat would begin to form around it. Many times when people are prayed over for healing, they say, "Oh, my, I feel the heat of the Spirit."

I was allowed to see spiritually how disease was really burned out of a person’s body. It was so beautiful how the revelation of God’s Word began to work. As I saw new skin and new cells began to grow where the old had been, I began to praise the Lord. Later, as I talked to some of them, they would say to me, "I was miraculously healed that day." Here on earth, we see only in part and know only in part. We see and know only what God allows. What I saw was only as God permitted, and I give Him all the credit, the honor, and the glory.

APPROACHING THE THRONE

I began to see the importance of and the need for prophets in today’s world as well as in biblical times. I began to see the importance of all of the fivefold ministries spoken of in Ephesians:

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, For the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.  (Ephesians 4:11-12)

I saw how important each is in the body of Christ.

The Bible tells us that we can "come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16). The Word assures us that we have "bold ness to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus" (Hebrews 10:19), because "according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission" (Hebrews 9:22). Friends, I can attest that this is true. It is the blood of Jesus Christ that makes atonement for the soul. His Word and His blood work together in grace.

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace,that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)

A VERY PRESENT HELP

How many times do we have great needs? We have sickness in our bodies. We are going through heartaches. We are going through a divorce. A loved one has died. A child has strayed into the world. It seems like we have no money coming in at all, and we need help. At times like these we come boldly to the throne of God and pray, "God, I need your help."

In the visions God gave me of scenes on earth, every time the saints would cry out to the Lord for help, the Word of God would be there. An angel would have a huge Bible in his hands. Then I would see the angel open the Word of God and shove it in Satan’s face. Satan would be there in the form of an evil spirit or a serpent. When the angel opened up the Scriptures, the Devil would literally fall backward, screaming, because he knew the angel was using the two- edged sword against him.

Now, I need to tell you that the things that I was seeing in my spirit were not always happening in the church where I was ministering at the time. I would see things in my spirit that could be occurring miles away. At times I did not know where or when they were taking place. Thank God, Jesus has defeated Satan for us once and for all at the cross so that we can have freedom and life. We can now come boldly to the throne of grace wherever we are.

ANOINTING AND HEALING

God’s mercy and grace is real and present to heal every sickness and disease through His Holy Scriptures. I want you to be encouraged in the Word of God today.

If you have a need, go boldly to the throne of grace and ask God to help you. The angels of God are "ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation" (Hebrews 1:14).

I am aware of this from Scripture, and I believe it. Moreover, I know it for a fact. I have seen it in the spirit realm many times. When we call on the Lord, God sends angels to help us in the power and might of His Word and His Spirit.

When demons have been cast out of some one in a service, I have seen the evil spirits come out like dark shadows or apparitions. When Jesus’ name has been called upon, I have seen an gels take that evil spirit and bind it with a chain. When I have seen that, I have thought, "God, how beautiful Your Word is to deliver these demon-possessed people from evil powers." It is the Word of the Lord that works. It is Jesus Christ’s Word. Only in His name-the name of Jesus Christ-will this work.Call on the name of Jesus Christ. He will save you. You will be born again, set free from your sins, and have an eternal home in heaven.

THE POWER OF THE WORD

Once, I was in the country of Malaysia. The people were so hungry for the Lord, and I knew by the presence of God that there was going to be a mighty move of God. As the glory of God began to fall on us, it was like rain.

The Holy Spirit was moving in our midst and saving people. People were falling out of their seats to the ground as they accepted the Lord. Many souls were delivered as the Lord’s power touched them. Oh, the joy and presence of God that came down! The Word of God was being preached, and it was setting people free. How the people hungered for God! They wanted to be born again and to ask Jesus Christ to come into their hearts. The power of the Word of God is incredible.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Here is another Scripture I would like you to think about:

The Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went be hind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them. So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night. (Exodus 14:19-20)

Children of God, don’t you know that God wants to do miracles today just as He did yesterday? For some reason we have been eliminating the benefits God has provided for us. We have been neglecting all the beautiful things of God.

Psychics and all types of witchcraft and sorcery are in our land. They are speaking to the hunger in people’s hearts. People are seeking advice and direction for their lives from all sources. However, I am telling you that God is real and true. He does not want us to follow after psychics. He does not want to see the evils of witchcraft and the occult in the world. God speaks against the occult and seeking after familiar spirits in His Word:

Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 19:31

It is very sinful and very wrong to go to mediums and psychics for help and guidance. Instead, God’s angels are real and are sent to minister to us who are the heirs of salvation.

For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. Psalm 91:11

In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them; in His love and in His pity He re deemed them; and He bore them and carried them all the days of old.Isaiah 63:9

Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God!" Daniel 3:28

TROOPS OF ANGELS

When the Lord Jesus gave me a revelation of hell, I could see with my spiritual eyes that all around my home the Word of God was written in the sky. Around and outside of my home was a great assemblage of angels. Some were sitting, talking among themselves. Another group had a very authoritative look and seemed to be watching. The angels in the third group around the house were standing wingtip to wingtip with their backs toward my home. This last group was composed of the largest angels who all looked like warriors! Each had a large sword at his side. If even a dark shadow tried to creep toward my home, they would pull out their swords and defend my family.

Remember, "the sword of the Spirit.. . is the word of God" (Ephesians 6:17). The Word would come out blazing and go into the enemy. The enemy would be cremated and turned into ashes.

The Scripture came to me: "The wicked... shall be ashes under the soles of your feet" (Malachi 4:3). Seeing the Word of God in action continually amazed me. When God sent His Word, the angels delivered Peter from prison:

Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, "Arise quickly!" And his chains fell off his hands. Then the angel said to him, "Gird yourself and tie on your sandals"; and so he did. And he said to him, "Put on your garment and follow me." So he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. When they were past the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him. ‘ And when Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people." (Acts 12:7-11)

ANGELS AND THE WORD

We have many Scriptures where angels appeared to men. Some additional examples are:

But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 1:20

Then the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with 
 His sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell face down. Numbers 22:31 NIV

So Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. Genesis 32:1

And she saw two angels in white sit ting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. John 20:12

Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." Acts 8:26

For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve. Acts 27:23

As Christians we need to understand how much protection we have. We must understand that God has provided everything for us in His holy Word. When we need help, we can go to Him boldly in the time of need. At the throne of grace, in Jesus Christ’s name, we ask Him for help. When you and I ask for assistance, He a ways gives it. He loves to help us as we keep His commandments and serve Him.

Chapter 10 - Visions of Angels at Work

In this chapter I want to tell you about my visions of angels at work. I want you to understand some of the beautiful things God has shown me. I want to give you some joy and delight in knowing what awaits you as you are working for the Lord. God is wonderful to reveal "His secret to His servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7). His desire is to show these things to those who will be sensitive to His revelations and who will pro claim His message.

Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: "I am the First and I am the Last; besides Me there is no God. ‘ "And who can proclaim as I do? Then let him declare it and set it in order for Me, since I appointed the ancient people. And the things that are coming and shall come, let them show these to them. "Do not fear, nor be afraid; have I not told you from that time, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one." Isaiah 44:6-8

Then the LORD answered me and said:

"Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it." (Habakkuk 2:2)

There are many scriptural examples about God wanting to reveal things to us through His appointed representatives. The Word of God is sure and true.

According to the Bible, Daniel had visions from the Lord:

Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he was lying on his bed. He wrote down the sub stance of his dream.  (Daniel 7:1 NIV)

John the Revelator also saw visions of the Lord, and he was told to write them down: "What you see, write in a book" (Revelation 1:11).

Isaiah was a great prophet with a crucial message for Judah because of his visions and his courage in telling them. His book begins: "The vision of Isaiah the son of Amos, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem" (Isaiah 1:1). Because Ezekiel saw visions of God (Ezekiel 1:1), he was called and anointed for a prophetic ministry.

God, in His infinite mercy, has seen fit to choose me and show me visions from Himself. I praise God for this. When I am in prayer and meditation, seeking God on certain matters, I am allowed to see into mysteries by the Spirit. He reveals certain things to me. My calling in God is to receive dreams, visions, and revelations and to relate them to others. As the Lord’s anointed handmaiden, I am simply describing the things that He has shown to me. I believe this is my biblical role. 

REVEALING GOD’S TRUTH

At the start of these experiences, the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to me to show me hell. He appeared in a glistening white robe, full of light and power. Jesus seemed to me to be about six feet tall. His beard appeared as if it had been neatly trimmed. His thick hair rested lightly on His shoulders. His beautiful eyes were piercing.

The portrait of Christ that is closest to the way I saw Him in my visions shows Him on the Wailing Wall, praying over the Jews and Israel. Jesus Christ has so much love and compassion for us, as the artist portrayed in that portrait, that He will go to great lengths to show a person hell and heaven and things to come.

CHARIOTS OF FIRE

Look at what the Bible says:

And Elisha prayed, and said, "LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.2 Kings 6:17

When I was in heaven, I saw chariots of fire, with angels driving the chariots. They were very large vehicles, and I marveled at their splendor.

REVELATIONS OF GOD

Look at this Bible verse about angels:

And while they looked steadfastly to ward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel. Acts 1:10

How can one read that and not believe it? God openly showed angels to His people when Jesus was caught up to heaven. Saints, we have to realize that God wants to reveal His glorious powers and His wondrous works in these last days. God has visions to show us. He wants to communicate these truths to us so that we can be excited and delighted about working for Him on this earth.

MIRACLES IN THE CHURCH

After the time of these visions, I was ministering in a particular church service. I had been in deep prayer and meditation. At church that night, I saw angels everywhere. They all had golden swords in their hands.

The Spirit of the Lord spoke to me. He said to me in a clear way:

Child, when prayer time comes for the people, I want to heal certain physical problems. I want this to be a sign in your ministry that the testimony of hell is true. I have given My word that I will give signs and wonders and work miracles as the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is preached.

I became so excited! In my spirit I saw an angel with a large book writing down things as I preached. It seemed as if the ceiling opened up, and I could see a vision of the throne of God. Angels were rejoicing and praising God.

BREAKING THE BONDAGE OF SIN

When it was time for the altar call, I saw angels going among the congregation, nudging people to go to the altar and give their hearts to the Lord. When I saw the angels touching the hearts of individuals, the blackest sins began to churn up and out of their hearts as they knelt and prayed to God. Oh, it was beautiful!

In my spirit I could see chains that were wrapped around the people. As people received forgiveness, angels seemed to break the bond age, to shatter the chains, to cast them off. The bands broke as people began to raise their hands and confess their sins to the Lord.

Cries and shouts went up everywhere from souls who had been delivered. It was wonderful. In many of my services all over the world, God provided great miracles like these, and wonderful deliverances began to happen.

I praise God for His signs, wonders, and miracles. I know that the angels are at work, helping me with the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ.

BREAKING THE BONDAGE

I want to tell you something else. As Scripture was being spoken, the Word seemed to jump off the page and take the form of a sword. That sword would pierce a person’s body and go straight to the problem to heal it. The Glory of God was everywhere! I was amazed. I praise God for the blessings of heaven on earth and for this beautiful revelation of His Word.

Chapter 9 - The Glories of Heaven

When Jesus Christ revealed Heaven to me, I was taken there for ten visits by the power of God Almighty. It happened immediately after the time He showed me hell.

The divine visits began during the Easter season. Jesus appeared to me from 2 A.M. to 5 A.M. every night for thirty nights, showing me the destination of those who reject Him. Before I saw Heaven, He took me into the center of the earth and showed me the abode of the dead. I wrote A Divine Revelation of Hell, in which I related my experiences in hell. After those thirty trips into the depths of horror, for ten nights Jesus showed me Heaven and its glories. Additionally, there were many other visitations from the Lord. This is a true account of what happened to me. The Spirit of the Living God revealed to me everything I am telling you.

When Jesus Christ took me on these journeys, I was fascinated because in Heaven, there is no sorrow, no death, no dying, and no grief. In Heaven only joy, peace, happiness, and the fruits of the Spirit are everywhere. I was also fascinated by the angels of God who were there by the thousands. Some had wings; some didn’t. I noticed on every one of my journeys to Heaven that the angels were always busy. The angels performed tasks and took care of details constantly. It seemed to me that each angel had his particular assignments and certain jobs to do. But all of them were always praising God and performing their duties happily as they went about their business. 

All of the angels are constantly occupied with their duties. For example, when new souls come to Heaven, angels meet them and lead them immediately through the River of Life. The angels escort the new souls to a place where other angels outfit them with gowns of salvation, which are robes of righteousness. Then the angelic guides take them to the room of crowns, where each person is fitted with a crown. All of these things are done in beautiful, perfect order. The angels are perfectly happy while doing them. I never saw bells in Heaven, but I heard them ringing constantly. I was told that every time a bell rings, a soul on earth was just saved. This is called "the glories of Heaven."

HEAVENLY FURNISHINGS

I noticed that all during my trips to Heaven, I saw beautiful tables. I don’t know how to describe them adequately. Sometimes on earth I have seen Victorian or some other style of furniture with elaborate designs on the pieces. You have probably seen such beautiful pieces, like a table against the side of a wall as you walk by or a table with a vase or book on it. Well, in Heaven I saw tables like these everywhere, except they were even more exquisitely designed and made.

There were also books everywhere, as well as many other things.

HEAVENLY RECORDING

Saints, be aware that every time you give money, every time you pay tithes, everything you do for the glory of God is recorded in Heaven. I remember this so well because when the Lord showed me His mighty Glories and Powers, it made an impression that will never be erased from my mind.

During my trips, I noticed that many angels came to Heaven with reports from all over the earth. They would go to a certain room with a recording angel in charge. The messenger angel would read the report, and the recording angel would ask, "Are you a witness? Did you see this take place?" When the report was confirmed, it was logged in a book. These books were eventually taken to the Throne of God. But first, they had to go through a special process.

I vividly remember that the Spirit of the Lord moved continuously in Heaven. It was greater than anything on earth. Things on earth are patterned after things in heaven, but the earthly things can only be shadowy reflections of those in Heaven. Unbelievable music, unhindered praises, and other glories that the earth can never imagine abound in Heaven. God wants people to praise Him. From the opening of Genesis to the close of Revelation, God expressed His desire for a family to love Him. 

As you read this book, remember that Heaven is a place God has prepared for those who love Him. Someday I am going there. Someday you are going there if you are born again, if you have repented of your sins, and if you have Jesus Christ in your heart.

He can wash your sins away through His precious blood. Let me tell you of the Blood of the Lamb, the precious Blood of Jesus.

THE CLEANSING BLOOD

Earlier, I described the record rooms, but now I want to depict another aspect. A number of angels sat in a certain section of the record rooms. They had golden buckets in front of them. This is also a part of "the Glories of Heaven." In front of the angels were stacks of books. Some of the markers in the books seemed to be messages from earth. Each message had to be examined by a large recording angel. 

I saw two other angels who brought messages from earth. There was a new message every time someone was born again, having been truly saved from his sins by accepting Jesus Christ into his heart. When someone truly repented of his sins and asked Jesus to be his Savior and Lord, it was recorded that the person had given his life to the Lord. The angels with the golden buckets each took a book from the stack. Each angel held in his hands what looked like a bloodstained cloth. The red cloth was mixed with Glory, Light, and Power. It was not gory or anything like that-it was beautiful! 

Each angel positioned the selected book in front of him, and, starting at the first page, he expunged the written record with the blood stained cloth. With God’s direction, the angel erased the old history of this sinner and re corded that he or she had just been born again.

I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins. Isaiah 43:25

Children, the Word of God is true. God truly forgives our sins. It was so beautiful to see the angels washing the pages. Hallelujah, God wipes the slate clean for each of us!

As I saw this glorious thing, I heard the saints in glory sing:

Oh, nothing but the blood of Jesus Can wash my sins away.
Oh, nothing but the blood of Jesus Can make me whole today.
Oh, nothing but the blood of Jesus Can cleanse me today.

And then I heard the angels singing this song:

Another one’s been redeemed
By the blood of the Lamb.
Another one’s been saved from the Devil’s hand
By the blood of the Lamb.
Another one’s been saved from hell By the blood of Jesus Christ.

Never be ashamed to call upon the power of the blood of Jesus Christ. His blood was shed almost two thousand years ago to wash away our sins, and it has never lost its power since then! Jesus conquered the Devil "once for all when He offered up Himself" Hebrews 7:2,7 and went to the cross for us. Christ came down from glory. He was born of a virgin. He gave His life in order that we could be redeemed by His precious blood. He did this so that we would not have to go to hell, the awful place He showed to me. 

Dear friends, the Gospel is true. How I rejoiced when I saw the angels washing away all of the old history from the stacks of books. They erased all the old past, all the old sins, all the dirty things. All the old things were gone; the blood of Jesus eradicated them all.

ALTARS OF GOD

I love the altars of God. When I go to a Spirit-filled church that has a beautiful altar, I know that many tears have been shed there. In the Old Testament, God repeatedly commanded His people to go in and tear down the old heathen altars. Here is one example: 

And you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and burn their wooden images with fire; you shall cut down the carved images of their gods and destroy their names from that place. You shall not worship the LORD your God with such things. Deuteronomy 12:3-4

God’s people were to get rid of the sinful altars that did not give praise to Him. They were to remove the altars that did not honor or reverence Him, and then they were to build and keep altars only for His worship. Here is an example of those instructions:

Only Jesus can do this for you. You cannot do it yourself.

Now it came to pass the same night that the LORD said to [ "Take your father’s young bull, the second bull of seven years old, and tear down the al tar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the wooden image that is beside it; 26 "and build an altar to the LORD your God on top of this rock in the proper arrangement, and take the second bull and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the image which you shall cut down." (Judges 6:25-26)

TODAY’S ALTARS

When I preach in services across the country, I think of the altars of God. When we come to the front altar of a church and pour out our hearts to God, we are not ashamed of Him. A dedicated altar is one place where we can be in the presence of God, where we can call on Him and confess our sins, asking Him to forgive us.

Many of us feel His awesome presence there! We can know He answers our prayers. At times we can feel His arms around us. There is something wonderful about the altars-the old- fashioned altars of God-in churches. There you can go and kneel and just worship the Lord. You can praise God at home, too. You can do it in your car. You can praise Him anywhere. However, let me tell you something: the altar is a definite place for an appointment to commune with Him intimately.

When the Old Testament prophets made altars to God, they cried out and repented to God for the sins of the people as well as for their own sins. At the altar they repented and offered blood sacrifices on behalf of the people, and God accepted their sacrifices.

Since Christ made the ultimate sacrifice for our sins through His shed blood, we no longer need to offer sacrifices. However, we still need to repent when we are convicted of sin, and one of the best places to do that is at an altar. When we see a dedicated church altar, we should kneel at it and pray to God, if it is possible. It means so much to have an altar. We need one in our homes, so we can talk to God and have a place just to be with Him.

When I preach I always tell the people, "Don’t be ashamed to come to this altar. Here God will meet you." Yes, He can meet you in your seat. Nevertheless, there is something about a sanctified and often-used altar where you can humble yourself, raise your hands, and say, "God, here I am. Take me. Use me for Your glory."

WORSHIP HIM SINCERELY

You need to mean what you pray with all your heart. God is looking for a people to love Him and to praise Him. God is looking for a people who will turn from their wicked ways and come back to Him. He is looking for a people who will worship Him in spirit and in truth.

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land... 2 Chronicles 7:14

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth...John 4:23-24

Be honest with God. Be truthful with God. When you go to the altar, don’t kneel and say, "Betty did wrong," or "Joe did wrong." Say, "God, I am the one who sinned. I’m standing in the need of forgiveness." Then, forgive those whom you have something against-forgive them. Saints, the Lord is looking for a people of deliverance, so that the blind eyes will be opened and ears will hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to the churches (Revelation 2:7).

Oh, the glories of heaven! If you could only see what awaits you there! We go through many trials and tribulations in everyday life. Sometimes it seems that the Enemy tries to steal everything from us, but God gives us the patience to endure and, ultimately, the victory. There are many pressures of life, but in our Lord there is peace and safety. If you don’t have a good, solid, home church, I urge you to search for one that preaches the true Word of God and believes in the power of the Almighty to transform lives and hearts. Find a church that believes in the power of the Holy Spirit. There you will be taught the wisdom of God and can be set free from your troubles, sorrows, and grief.

You know, it is important to meet together with God’s people. The Bible tells us to assemble ourselves together (Hebrews 10:25). Don’t try to be out there all alone. God loves you, and there are saints of God who love you, too.

GLORIES TO BE REVEALED

Another part of the glories of heaven included some of the mysteries that are yet to be revealed. I was not allowed to see them. However, on one of the trips, I saw beautiful houses and mansions. This part seemed to go by very fast. Then I was taken to where I saw angels doing all kinds of tasks. They seemed to be coming from the earth in an orderly manner, and they would come into the gates with papers in their hands. 

Sometimes the angels would have books in which they had been writing. They would go to certain areas in heaven with these reports. Then the reports would be logged in books, to keep records for the saints’ rewards. When you go to heaven, you will be re warded for whatever you do for Jesus Christ’s sake. This is why I write this book. I am writing of my visions of heaven for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ and for His glory and honor.

I want you to understand the part of the mysteries of heaven that God showed me. I can only tell you what I saw, for the mysteries were revealed to me only in part. The Bible says that now "we know in part, and we prophesy in part" (1 Corinthians 13:9). Praise God, when we reach our final destination, our final home, all of our questions will be answered, all of our prayers will be answered, and all of our deepest desires will be fulfilled!
