SIGNIFICANCE TO THE VISION

In my previous series of postings I presented a number of my spiritual experiences that revealed the nature of this world and the spiritual realm that is foreign to so many. The following hyperlinks will guide you to these prior postings:

Gods-Question-on-Judgment-Day

Opening-the-Books-on-Judgment-Day

Repentance-Brings-Salvation-Even-on-Judgment-Day

These experiences represent the big picture reality for everyone on the planet. They present the reward that awaits the wicked. They communicate the reality of the devil, hell and the pit of fire which is the second death. They also speak about the devil’s evil desire for everyone in the world, a desire for our failure, bondage, torture and pain forever. Unfortunately, many in the world do not know this truth and many, who have had insight into these realities, simply do not believe them. Unfortunately for them, the devil continues to wage his spiritual warfare against all true followers of Jesus, weather they know the truth or not.

The ministry of Jesus Christ is a ministry of spiritual warfare. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and to save everyone from the terrible consequences described in these prior postings. Jesus came so that all who believe in Him would have eternal life in heaven with Him.

He accomplished this by teaching us to love one another as He loved us, and then He demonstrated that love when He healed the sick, cast out demons, fed the hungry, told us about the Father, died on the cross for our sins,

rose from the dead, defeated all evil, and ascended into heaven where He is our advocate with the Father. This is the heart of the vision—that we become like Jesus and do the things that He did. We are to be imitators of Him and therefore, we are to enter a life of spiritual warfare and victory over evil.

I certainly did not understand these things at the time that I had these experiences. I know them to be true now because I became a student of the Bible and found that its passages validated the spiritual realities of my experiences. Our postings from this point forward will review these spiritual experiences in the light of the scriptures, so that you may also come to the understanding that the bible confirms these experiences and realities to be true.

So, until next time, may all of God’s blessings be upon you and your family.

Repentance Brings Salvation – Even on Judgment Day

In my previous postings I have communicated to you about my severe trauma that landed me in the intensive care unit, dying. I told you about leaving my body and traveling in spirit, through space and time and entered into the Lake of Fire, the place of the second death. I told you how I swam in all of the horror there along with all the other lost soles. I communicated how I was transported to Hell and placed before Satin so that I could experience his extreme hatred of me. I conveyed how I was placed before the Judgment seat of Christ, where I relived my sins. In the past two postings I tell of God’s question for me on the Judgment Seat; “Why should you live?” In this posting I will tell you of my repentance and my bargaining with God on the Judgment Seat. So, with that said, we pick up where we left off.

The Judgment Seat of Christ

I was really desperate now as I knew the focus was back on me. I had to come up with something that would answer God’s question. At first, I blamed my problems on others and waited for a response. Silence was my answer.

Then, I realized that I could not blame others for my poor choices. So I told God that I would change. I pleaded with God, I made a case that if God would provide some things that were missing in my life, that it would make a difference. That was the last thing I remember about being in the gray place.

I awoke the next morning in the intensive care unit where I had been the night before.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy, to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. (Psalm 33:18 – 19)

I had lived through the night by the mercy of God.

For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. (James 2:13)

Yes, someone had been watching out for me again. Someone had saved me from the greatest tragedy of all. You would think that this time there would be no mistaking that it was God, but at the time I was still blind. I saw all of this as a terrifying dream, one that I did not care to dwell upon, and simply moved on.

But as you will fine in our future postings the devil was not done yet. He had not given up on defeating me and ending my purpose forever. He would attack me over and over again with physical problem and he would make my life miserable until I wised up and turned my life back over to God.

In our next posting we will communicate why this experience is so important. Until next time, may God’s blessings be upon all of you.

Opening the Books on Judgment Day

In my previous postings I have communicated to you about my severe trauma that landed me in the intensive care unit, dying. There, I left my body and traveled through space and time and entered into the Lake of Fire, the place of the second death. I swam there in all of the horror there. Then I was transported to Hell where I was place before Satin and experienced his extreme hatred of me. Then I was taken to the Judgment seat of God and relived all of my sins in an instant in time. It is hear that God asks me: “Why should you live?”

This posting will communicate what happened as the books of Life are opened:

The Judgment Seat of Christ

Then another certainty dawned on me. Somehow, I realized that the question had to do with more than just mortal life and death on earth as I knew it. It was a question relating to a life lived forever with God or the second death as I experienced it in Golgotha (A-Journey-to-Golgotha and Inside-the-Lake-of-Fire-the-Second-death).

Now, even more than ever, I began to truly understand the significance and gravity of the question and the consequences of my answer. Death forever!

Agony, torture, and suffering for eternity in the lake of fire accompanied with unending torment at the hands of Satan. Then that “oh, no” feeling came over me in a wave. It is the feeling you get when your stupid mistake hurts someone real bad.

Just then the silence was broken. I could hear a commotion coming from somewhere behind the voice.

And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. (Revelation 20:4)

I heard another voice say, “What about good works?” This was followed by more rustling and commotion. It sounded like a number of people were searching for the good works in my life.

And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (Revelation 20:12 – 14)

The Book of Life

The commotion soon stopped and I heard another voice reply, “There are none.” I stood there stunned and thought how can this be? Surely I have done some good works. This was followed by another shattering realization of the truth. The sad report was true as it seems that even the good things I had done in my life were for the wrong reasons.

In our next posting we will tell you what happened next.

May all of God’s blessings be yours!
