Although I lived through the night, my troubles were far from over. My life would continue, but now the devil had me on the ropes, and although I did not know it, he was coming in to finish me off. He continued to attack me in the hospital and even afterward. Many of his attacks afflicted my body with additional damage. In contrast, my doctors and others tried to persuade me to have a very dangerous operation that I did not need. The devil beset my job and my personal relationships, and when all else failed, he tried to physically kill me with his bare hands. He invoked havoc in my life with a continuous surge of events devised to abort my future and, therein, eradicate the purpose of my life.

As strange as it may sound, I did not heed the Judgment Day messages of my out-of-body experience that occurred the night I entered the ER MY DAY OF DEATH. These encounters were so unbelievably horrifying and painful that I often wondered if they could possibly be real (LEAVING MY BODY, MY JOURNEY TO SPIRITUAL GOLGOTHA, SWIMMING IN THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, IN HELL – CONFRONTED BY THE DEVIL, THE BEAST, STANDING ON THE SEAT OF JUDGMENT BEFORE GOD.

Consequently, as much as possible, I blocked these memories from entering my consciousness, as I did not want to dwell upon them or their consequences. I rationalized them away, pretending they were simply one dreadful dream. I then pictured them as small and far away. I put them behind me, and as a result of ignoring what God had shown me that night, I opened myself to the spiritual attacks that would beset me from that moment on. Because of my poor decisions, I was about to experience the reality of living a life without the protection of God and, therefore, have nothing to thwart the attacks of the devil.

I was ashamed of what I encountered and did not share what happened with anyone. I did not realize what God had done for me until years afterward when I recognized that what happened to me was God’s response to my doubting the devil’s existence. Yes, God responded by showing me the truth, not only of the devil’s existence but also the existence of Hell, the Lake of Fire, Spiritual Golgotha, and the Judgment Seat of the Lord. I had not comprehended the blessings that He gave me by revealing the truth of these things. It was not as if I had been punished as I had previously believed, but instead, God removed me from harm in each of these places. Therefore, God gave me the honor of knowing the truth of the reality of these spiritual truths. Unfortunately for me, this belief would only come many years later.

So, from this point forward, I will present how I became an innocent victim of a constant stream of spiritual attacks, not knowing that I had become a target of the devil’s spiritual warfare. These experiences will be chronicled in future postings.


A VISION OF A JESUS-FILLED WORLD COMING TO PASS

The Morning Star Rising on the First Day

In my last posting, I recounted my experience in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone and my anguish there. You can read about this experience by clicking this link: MY JOURNEY TO SPIRITUAL GOLGOTHA and SWIMMING IN THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE.

TRANSPORTED TO HELL

A spiritual force transported me from the Lake of Fire to an empty cave containing blackened, semi-smooth rock surfaces burning red in various places. The walls contained numerous large fissures that periodically emitted fire and repulsive sulfuric-smelling steam. I presumed these conditions to be like those near the earth’s core. I immediately began searching for a way out by walking down a passageway through the flames and smoke. 

THE BEAST

Suddenly, a giant beast appeared before me, obstructing my way forward. This repulsive-looking ten-foot-tall monster had the body build of a hefty man. Its enormous arms and legs were broader than my torso, and its muscles bulged like those of a world-class bodybuilder. Its skin was predominantly darkish brown with traces of black sprinkled in, and its texture resembled scorched leather, toughened in the fire and heat of this place. This leathered skin contained numerous sharp thorns of various sizes across its entire body. I noticed that the more prominent thorns also included numerous smaller thorns. These rose-shaped thorns appeared very sharp and likely cut to shreds anyone who battled this monster. 

I examined the face of the creature and saw its red eyes glaring back at me, and I felt its immense detestation for me. The form of its skull sloped backward like that of a Raptor. I mysteriously understood that this beast was the master of this place and that there was no way for me to defeat it, at least not in this place where it rules. We stood there, staring at each other for a moment. Once again, I felt this beast’s unimaginable detestation and disgust toward me. It hated me with a prejudice I had never suspected possible, with perfect malice. I then comprehended that it saw me as revolting, disgusting, and repulsive. My words can not adequately articulate the depth, completeness, and hostility this monster had for me. 

Recognizing the gravity of my circumstances, I tried to turn and run but soon discovered that God had fastened my feet to the ground. The beast then attempted several roundhouse punches at me. Still, luckily, as it strained to move toward me, it also discovered its feet were also attached to the floor. Without this constraint, this monster would have ruled over me in hell. It would torment me and receive sadistic pleasure in my suffering. 

  • All these thoughts and emotions are genuine because God somehow transferred them into my brain. Then, as established in my prior postings, I was instantly transported to another place-the place of judgment: STANDING ON THE SEAT OF JUDGMENT BEFORE GOD

The Morning Star Rising on the First Day

This experience occurred before my sister, and I entered grade school. It was a beautiful summer day, and we were playing in our front yard while a group of older boys were hanging out on our neighbor’s lawn. I guess these boys decided that they would have some fun with us, youngsters, by telling us frightening stories about the boogeyman. I knew what they were up to, however, and proclaimed that there was no such thing as a boogeyman.

They then assured me that they were eyewitnesses to every story and then continued by spinning even scarier yarns, while I stood firm in my assertions that there is no such thing as a boogeyman. 

But they challenged my denials, stating that the boogeyman was hiding between the houses just a few doors down the block. They said that if I was so sure, then why not take a look for myself? I suddenly became markedly less confident; after all, perhaps they were right. I tried to wiggle my way out of the situation, but when they called me a chicken and fraidy-cat, well, they had me. I couldn’t back down, so I devised a scheme to maximise my safety. 

I thought that if the boogeyman was between the houses that he would capture me if I got close enough. So I decided to run on a diagonal to get a look from the other side of the street. I also knew that I should start immediately so that the boogeyman if it existed, would not have any time to prepare for my arrival. So, without hesitation, I bolted across the street, running head down as fast as I could. Much to my surprise, I could hear my sister running right behind me. When I got to a position where I could see between the houses, I stopped and quickly turned to take a look. To my horror there it was hiding between the houses, right where the boys said it would be. It was so tall that it had to hunch over to keep its concealment. I somehow knew that it was waiting for kids like me to come by capture and devour. 

Its general shape was like a hugely powerful man with burnt leathery skin and the head of a dinosaur, very much like the Tyrannosaurus Rex. It just stood between the buildings, staring at me. I could feel its anger and disgust. I then lost all control and started screaming in horror, flailing my arms in the air while running back as fast as my legs would carry me. 

When I got back to my yard, the storytellers were rolling on the ground, laughing so hard that they had to hold their aching stomachs.

These boys believed that their deception had worked, but, I knew what these boys did not. I knew—that there was a devil down the block and that it was lying in wait for innocent kids like me. What they had made up in jest turned out to be the truth. Evil exists in the world. The devil is real. 

I tell this story because this experience was not my only encounter with the devil. Much later in life, for some unknown reason, I started to question if the devil was real. I had not heeded the warning that God gave me as a child. The result was that the devil struck me by exploding my Pancreas. When I arrived at the hospital, and moved into the ER, after hours of examination and tests, the doctors told my immediate family to send for my other relatives because I would likely not make it through the night. 

That night in the ER, after the doctors and nurses had left me to rest, I had an out of body experience. I traveled through space and time, and Hell was just one of several stops that I made, and there, once again, I was confronted by the devil, who looked much like the devil that I saw when I was a child. Once again, I could feel how intensely it detested me, and how desperately it wanted to destroy me. It struggled to move toward me, but God had anchored its feet to the ground. 

What I discovered later in life is that the devil wanted more than just my life, no, more importantly, it sought to destroy the purpose for my creation. It tried to kill the vision. 

So, let this be a warning of the existence of evil of this world, and that spiritual warfare is coming whether you are ready for it or not. 

So, please do not make a mistake as I did by believing that the devil’s existence is simply a myth. Be careful of what you think, and be cautious about the choices that you make because based on my experiences, your life, your purpose and your calling may hang in the balance. Seek God with all of your might, put on the spiritual armor of God, and follow his guidance.

May God’s blessings be upon you!

CONFRONTING SATAN IN HELL

In my previous postings I have told you of my severe medical condition that sent me to the intensive care dying. There, I left my body and traveled through space and time and enter the Lake of Fire, the place of the second death. It was there that I swam in the Lake and experienced all of the horror there. From there I travel to Hell Itself where I am confronted by the devil. Here is the story:

I knew that there was no way for anyone to escape from the lake of fire and brimstone, but by some power, I had been removed and transported to another place. It was as if in the blink of an eye, I faded out of the lake and into a different place.

I found myself in what appeared to be a large cave. It was unusual since it was extremely hot. Its rock walls glowed red. The throbbing cracks of the outer crust opened and closed to release pressure from underneath. They were like molten lava in this respect. The glowing red walls appeared to be carved out of a gigantic rock formation. Huge flames frequently shot up along the walls from the floor. Scalding steam shot up through openings in the cave and produced a repugnant, sulfuric odor. I thought that this place must be like what I imagined the center of the earth to be like. Then again, perhaps it was hell.

I turned around and looked in every direction and saw no other living creature. I started walking down a passageway to my left. I was searching for a way out while the flames were shooting up all around me.

THE BEAST

All of a sudden, there was an enormous creature standing just five or six feet in front of me. It seemingly appeared from out of nowhere. It was an abominable looking animal. While it had the general physique of a man, it was unlike a man in that it was approximately ten feet tall and four feet wide. Being as close as it was, it towered over me like a monster. It appeared to be extremely strong because its arm and leg muscles bulged like a world-class weightlifter after a work out. In addition, its limbs were as big around as my torso.

Its body was dark brown with shades of black in some areas. Its skin was like dried leather that had been hardened in the fire of this place. This hardened skin was completely covered with extremely sharp thorns like those found on a rose bush. The thorns were of all different sizes, and interestingly, the larger ones had numerous small thorns on them as well. I remember thinking that these thorns would be an extremely good defense against any attacker. Surely anyone who dared to challenge this beast would be shred into pieces. Then it occurred to me that these thorns could be a very effective offensive weapon as well.

As I gazed up toward the face of the beast I saw that its red eyes glared at me with apparent hatred. It head was more like the head of a giant reptile than a man. It seemed to be similar to the head of the dinosaur Tyrannosaurus Rex. It was then that I somehow knew that this beast was the master of this place and that there was no way for me to overcome it; at least not here where it rules.

Amazingly, we stood there looking at each other. The beast glared at me with great disgust, anger and hatred that I could feel reverberate throughout my being. I was feeling these emotions flow through me like electricity. I therefore knew that It hated me with hatred that I had never before imagined—a perfect hatred. This monster found me revolting, disgusting, and repulsive. There are no words that can adequately convey the depth and completeness of this hatred.

I knew that I was in serious trouble and so I tried to run but amazingly, I found that my feet were stuck to the ground. It was as if they had been glued to the rock where I was standing. Then I saw the beast make a series of great thrashing efforts in an effort to move toward me and potentially attack me. But even more amazingly, he also found that his feet were held fast to the ground and that he could not move either.

He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support. (Psalm 18:16 – 18)

I knew that if the beast was not restrained, it would rule over me in the halls of hell. I knew that it was my enemy. I also knew that one way or another the beast would be my torturer:

To deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. (1 Corinthians 5:5)

if released, that it would find sadistic pleasure in my suffering and that my torture would be pure evil.9

Just as they have chosen their own ways, And their soul delights in their abominations, So will I choose their delusions, And bring their fears on them; Because, when I called, no one answered, When I spoke they did not hear; But they did evil before My eyes, And chose that in which I do not delight. (Isaiah 66:3 – 4)

All of these things I somehow knew as if someone had inserted them directly into my mind. I felt them with a very strong emotion. But, the beast was being held in place. Although it continued to strain, it could not get to me. Clearly the Lord was protecting me while at the same time showing me the truth. The devil is real and it hates me with extreme passion. Further it seeks to destroy my life and my purpose.

Next, I am taken to the Judgment Day. I will tell you all about this experience in my next posting.
