In my last posting, I recounted my experience in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone and the anguish I underwent there. You can read about this experience by clicking on this link: MY JOURNEY TO SPIRITUAL GOLGOTHA

TRANSPORTED TO HELL

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

THE BEAST

Suddenly, a giant beast materialized directly in front of me, obstructing my way forward. This repulsive-looking ten-foot-tall monster had the body shape of a stout man. Its gigantic 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 spattered in, and its texture resembled scorched leather, hardened in the fire of this place. This leathered skin contained sharp thorns of various sizes across its body, and the large thorns had smaller thorns on them. These rose-shaped thorns had to be an exceptional weapon because anyone who fought this monster would be cut to shreds by them. 

I stared at the face of the beast and saw its red eyes glaring back at me, and I felt its enormous hatred for me. The shape of its head sloped back like that of a Raptor, and I understood that this beast was the master of this place and that there was no way for me to conquer it; at least not in this place where it rules. We stood there, glaring at each other, and once again, I felt the incredible loathing and disgust it had toward me. It detested me with a prejudice that I had never imagined, with perfect malice. I now knew that it saw me as revolting, disgusting, and repulsive. My words can not adequately convey the depth, completeness, and hostility this monster had for me. 

Realizing the seriousness of the circumstances, I attempted to turn and run but found my feet stuck to the ground. The creature then made numerous swinging punches at me, but luckily, as it tried to move toward me, it also found its feet stuck to the floor. Without this restraint, this monster would have ruled over me in hell. It would torture me and obtain sadistic pleasure in my suffering. 

I knew all these things were true because this knowledge was being inserted into my brain. I felt all of this with powerful emotion. Then, as before, I was instantly transported to yet another place. The place of judgment: TBD


The Morning Star Rising on the First Day

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.
