A Divine Revelation of Heaven
by Mary K Baxter Ministry
|
 |
Foreword
The inspired writings of Mary Kathryn Baxter are
divinely anointed by God, and they have blessed hundreds
of thousands of people. I believe it is of utmost
importance to widely disseminate the message that God
has given to her. She shares these experiences in
hundreds of churches each year, and she has now put them
down in book form.
Her previous book, A Divine Revelation of Hell, has been
especially used of God to deliver the eternal message of
salvation to the lost. It has been widely received with
enthusiasm by people all over the world, having been
printed in many different countries and in many
different languages. Well over half a million copies
have been sold to date. I believe this book, A Divine
Revelation of Heaven, will be received in an even
greater way.
As Mary Kathryn Baxter’s pastor for several years, I
know her personally, and I fully endorse her ministry.
God has placed His approval on her work by anointing her
ministry and by giving this message such a wide
acceptance.
This book is the result of many prayers, tears, and hard
work. I pray that its wide distribution will be the
cause of many souls coming to know the Lord and making
preparations to spend eternity in heaven!

Introduction
This book is an account of a number of true experiences
I have had with God. It is not the work of an overactive
imagination or the pipe dream of someone who hopes for
something better than this life has to offer.
Heaven is a reality, and the experiences I describe in
this book are told just as they happened to me. I did
not see everything there is to see in heaven-it will
take eternity to do that. I do not relate everything I
saw in heaven; even Paul did not do that. (See 2
Corinthians 12:1-4.) But I am relating all that God has
told me to share.
I want to give special honor and thanks to my pastor,
the Reverend Dr. T. L. Lowery, and to his beautiful
wife, Mildred, for their support, encouragement, and
valuable contributions in this endeavor. I also would
like to express my sincere gratitude for the staff of
the National Church of God and for the Reverend Marcus
V. Hand for his editorial guidance on this book.
Additionally, I gratefully recognize and credit all
those at Whitaker House in New Kensington, Pennsylvania,
who have been instrumental in so many ways in making
both A Divine Revelation of Heaven and A Divine
Revelation of Hell available to the reading public.
I am grateful to God who has called me to share this
message. I thank you who have strengthened and
encouraged me in my God- called ministry. God bless you
all!

TO KATHRYN FROM JESUS
For this purpose you were born
To write and tell
What I have shown and told you,
For these things are faithful and true.
Your call is to let the world know
That there is a heaven, and there is a hell,
and that I, Jesus, was sent by the Father
So save them from torment
And to prepare them a place in heaven.
----------------------------------------------------------
Inside the Gates
God, in His infinite mercy and grace, permitted me to go
to that beautiful place called heaven. The logistics of
my trip to His home and back to earth are unclear to me,
but I cannot be mistaken about the reality of it.
How were the incomparable wonders of heaven revealed to
a mere mortal like me? Let me start at the beginning.
One night the Lord appeared to me and told me I was
chosen for a special assignment. He said, “My child, I
will manifest Myself to you to bring people out of
darkness into light. I have chosen you for a purpose:
you are to write and make a record of the things that I
will show and tell you."
I submitted myself to God completely, and astounding
things began to happen. I was taken from where I was at
the time and transported into hell itself. I was aware
of all five of my senses: I could see, feel, hear,
smell, and taste. Yet, this was a supernatural
happening. I realized that the impact it made on me was
for a purpose.
For days after I was taken by the Lord into hell, I was
very grieved in my heart. My heart was sad and burdened
because of the horrors I saw. I had viewed the judgment
of God on sin and on the people who had gone to hell. I
prayed earnestly to God and sought His comfort.
On the thirty-first night after these events began, the
power of Almighty God fell on me again. At two o’clock
in the morning, a mighty angel stood beside my bed.
Jesus Christ was standing behind the angel. As I looked
on the face of the Lord standing there, He smiled at me,
but He did not say anything.
The mighty messenger of God said, “God has given me a
special mission. I am sent here to take you to heaven
and to show you parts of it."
After a moment, he spoke again, “Come and see the glory
of God!"
At once, I was supernaturally transported from my home
and found myself standing out side one of the gates of
heaven with the heavenly angel.
The overwhelming beauty of what I saw around me was
breathtaking! The clothing the heavenly being wore
looked like a brilliant garment of light. The angel had
triangular-shaped wings that glistened with the colors
of the rain bow. Although I wasn’t surprised, I was
amazed at the indescribable beauty of God that was
evident all around.
The next thing I knew, the angel repeated an exclamation
that I would hear many times:
“Behold, the glory of God!"
The magnificent gate that stood before me in splendor
was made of a solid pearl. In awe I took in everything I
could of this most beautiful sight. At this point, I
could not see the Lord anywhere, but I was totally
enraptured by the glory of heaven.
ENTERING HEAVEN
When we arrived there, two very tall angels were
standing outside the gate. Both of them wore glistening
robes and had swords in their hands. Their hair was like
spun gold, and their faces gleamed with light.
The angel accompanying me moved over to speak to the two
angels guarding the gate, and I was left standing alone.
In amazement, I thought, “Oh, how glorious are the gates
of heaven! How wonderful it is to see this one for
myself!" Suddenly, I realized that I was actually going
to enter into heaven.
As I watched the angels of the Lord, I could hear some
of the conversation they were having. One of them went
inside the gate and returned almost immediately with a
small volume. The book had a gold cover, and the
printing inside was also in gold. It seemed to be a book
about my life’s history. My name was stamped on the
cover:
Mary Kathryn Baxter
A smile of approval came over the angels’ faces. They
opened the book. They looked at each other, then said in
a voice I could hear, “She may come inside the gate."
My guiding angel escorted me through the magnificent
gate and into heaven.
Suddenly, music filled the whole atmosphere. It was all
around me. It was above me. It seemed to penetrate my
very being. Wave after powerful wave of beautiful music
and singing surged across the landscape and seemed to
envelop everything and everyone.
When I stepped inside the city, amazement again took my
breath. The landscape of that in comparable city was
beyond description. Surrounding me were the most
beautiful, colorful flowers I had ever seen. There was
unbelievable greenery and vegetation everywhere. Even
the blooms of the flowers seemed to be alive to the
music and the singing.
Music continued to swirl about me. I seemed to be a part
of it.
It is one thing to try to describe the wonders of this
city; it is quite another to know that you will share
the joy of it.
I saw some of the exuberant citizens of heaven, and they
were all dressed in robes. This Scripture came to me:
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD; my soul shall be
joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the
garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe
of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with
ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her
jewels.
(Isaiah 61:10)
The happiness and joy that beamed from their faces was
beyond compare.
Heaven is a real place. It is not a figment of someone’s
imagination. In the Bible it is re corded that Jesus
said,
Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God,
believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many
mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go
to prepare a place for you.
(John 14:1-2)
Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. Since
we as children of God have been transformed and made new
by the miracle of regeneration, and since we are now new
creations in Christ, it is a joy to know that the place
where we will spend eternity is prepared by the Savior
who saved us.
Heaven is a perfect place. Since our Savior is perfect,
omnipotent, and eternal, heaven has to be a perfect
place. Because He is preparing us a place there to live
with Him for all eternity, our eternal home will be
perfect, too. Nothing will ever mar any part of that
heavenly abode. There will never be anything allowed to
enter heaven to defile it or spoil it.
But there shall by no means enter it anything that
defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only
those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
(Revelation 21:27)
Heaven is beyond the reach of sin and sinners of every
kind and description. Satan will be forever barred from
that heavenly place:
And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great,
fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and
seven diadems on his heads.
His tail drew a third of the stars [ angelic hosts] of
heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood
before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour
her Child as soon as it was born.
war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought
with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,
but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them
in heaven any longer.
So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old,
called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole
world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were
cast out with him.
Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now
salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and
the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of
our brethren, who accused them before our God day and
night, has been cast down. “Therefore rejoice, O
heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the
inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has
come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows
that he has a short time."
Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the
earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the
male Child.
(Revelation 12:3-4, 7-10, 12-13)
That serpent, Satan, and his unholy cohorts will never
again rear their ugly heads in the pure and holy climate
of heaven!
The demons cannot enter heaven. The fallen angels who
rebelled against God and “who did not keep their proper
domain, but left their own abode"
(Jude 1:6) cannot return to heaven.
Nothing will be lacking in heaven. No de tail will be
left out to keep its environment from being perfect.
No matter where we go on earth, no matter where we live
or how expensive our homes may be, there are obvious
faults and flaws to keep them from being perfect. In
contrast, God has made no mistakes in constructing the
place called heaven. Its glories, its beauties, its
wonders are beyond human powers of description. The
indescribable splendor of that beautiful place is
wondrous to behold.
The combined brilliance of the light of the Son of God
reflecting on walls of jasper, gates of pearl, mansions
unnumbered, and the beautiful River of Life creates a
scene no artist could ever adequately depict.
HOME OF REDEEMED SOULS
Heaven is a permanent place. No enemy will ever conquer
the paradise of God. There will be no crumbling of its
buildings, no decay of its materials, and no withering
or dying of its vegetation. No smog or radiation will
ever pollute its holy atmosphere.
This permanent, abiding place is an eternal, continuing
city. We sing this song, written by Hattie Buell:
A tent or a cottage, why should I care?
They’re building a palace for me over there;
Tho’ exiled from Him, yet still I may sing;
All glory to God, I’m a child of the King.
In that incomparable place, saints will find sweet
deliverance from all disappointments, heartaches,
tragedies, and disasters. There will be no more sorrow
or woe. There will be no more pain. There will be no
more crying:
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there
shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There
shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed
away.
(Revelation 21:4)
The joyful citizens I saw in heaven seemed to have come
from many different ages and countries. Various
nationalities seemed obvious to me. Then I remembered
another Scripture I had read:
And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its
seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God
by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people
and nation."
(Revelation 5:9)
EMPLOYED IN PRAISING GOD
Excitedly, my soul praised the majesty of God! The
sorrows I experienced and the grief I suffered when I
saw a revelation of hell now seemed so far away. This
was a revelation of heaven.
I saw entire families together. Everybody was happy,
going somewhere, doing something, smiling. A glow graced
every face I saw.
All the saints in heaven seemed to be occupied. They
were constantly busy. They spent their time praising and
magnifying God. Songs were on everyone’s lips. The
atmosphere of music was the dominant mood.
Eternity will not be spent in leisure and laziness, as
some have mistakenly pictured our final destination. We
will do more than float on a cloud, strum a harp, or
wiggle our toes in the River of Life. Our time will be
occupied in service to God. Just what the nature of this
service will be, we cannot say, but there can be no
doubt that His people will serve Him.
DIAMONDS FOR SOULWINNERS
I could see diamonds-glittering, glistening, exquisite
diamonds-diamonds everywhere! Some were are as large as
blocks of concrete. Some of these diamonds seemed to be
for the mansions of those who were soulwinners on earth.
It seemed that every time someone led a soul to Christ,
heaven provided a diamond for that faithful Christian.
The Bible says,
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who
wins souls is wise.
(Proverbs 11:30)
Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of
the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness
like the stars forever and ever.
(Daniel 12:3)
As I stood drinking in the splendor and grandeur of that
glorious place, I saw an immense, beautiful angel coming
down a path. In his hands he held a scroll, which had
gold edging on it.
The angel laid the scroll on a pedestal table, which was
made of a silvery material unlike anything I had ever
seen before. The oblong table literally glistened with
light.
The scroll had a name written on it. One of the saints
picked it up and began to read it.
“Jesus is the Master Builder," a saint in heaven told
me. “He determines who deserves the diamonds and where
they go. This scroll I hold is a report from earth of a
person who has led someone to Jesus, who fed the poor,
who clothed the naked-who did great things for God."
When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy
angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His
glory.
the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will
separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides
his sheep from the goats.
He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats
on the left.
Then the King will say to those on His right hand,
“Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom pre
pared for you from the foundation of the world:
“for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty
and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me
in;
“I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you
visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me."
Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, “Lord, when
did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give
You drink?
“When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or
naked and clothe You? “Or when did we see You sick, or
in prison, and come to You?"
the King will answer and say to them, “Assuredly, I say
to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of
these My brethren, you did it to Me." Then He will also
say to those on the left hand, “Depart from Me, you
cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil
and his angels.
“And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but
the righteous into eternal life."
(Matthew 25:31-41, 46)
ROOM FOR EVERYBODY
The angel repeated the welcome theme to me: “Come and
see the glory of your God."
At the Lord’s direction, I am recording this account of
heaven as I saw it. We need to under stand that the
focus of our hopes and desires should be to spend all
eternity with our Lord. Heaven is the land of dreams
come true!
I’m excited about heaven because after our works and
labors on earth are finished, we will leave this earth
and go there. God has prepared the city, and Jesus is
preparing a place there for those of us who love Him.
PERFECT COMMUNION
Unbroken fellowship between God and man will be
completely restored in heaven.
When Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, God paid
visits to this earth. After fellow ship with Him was
broken by sin and disobedience, God continued to show
His desire for communion with mankind.
His ultimate expression of love for man kind was the
giving of His own Son to die a merciless death on a
cruel cross. Through Christ’s death and resurrection,
fellowship between God and man again became a
possibility.
Even now, the circumstances of life can hinder our
intimate fellowship with God. But, in heaven there will
be no more hindrances. We will know perfect fellowship
with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Fellowship
with Him will be complete.
Heaven is the abode of the living God. It is far above
the atmospheric heavens and beyond the planets and
galaxies. It is the everlasting home of “The Redeemed of
the LORD" (Isaiah 62:12). It is the eternal destination
of all the children of God through faith in Christ.
You do not need to fear being crowded into a tiny
cubicle in heaven that has been labeled a “mansion."
When the redeemed of the ages are gathered home to
glory, there will be sufficient room for all of them to
have one of the many mansions, the many dwelling places,
which Jesus said He was preparing for us in His Father’s
house:
Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God,
believe also in Me.
In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not
so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for
you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will
come again and receive you to Myself that where I am,
there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the
way you know.
(John 14:1-4)
Heaven definitely has room for everyone:
After these things I looked, and be hold, a great
multitude which no one could number, of all nations,
tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne
and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm
branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud
voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on
the throne, and to the Lamb!"
All the angels stood around the throne and the elders
and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces
before the throne and worshiped God.
(Revelation 7:9-11)
TEARS IN HEAVEN
At one point I was taken to a particular place where the
angel stopped and said to me, “God wants me to show you
the room of tears."
Many times you may have read in several passages in the
Psalms about our tears and about how God cares for us.
The angels catch our tears and put them in bottles
(Psalm 56:8). Many times I had wondered about what this
meant.
I know that many of you reading these words have cried
many tears for your loved ones, your children, your
mate, or your family. Especially if you’ve gone through
a separation or a divorce, you have felt like all hope
was gone. You have grieved over your lost loved ones.
I want to tell you that God showed me a room of tears.
It was so beautiful. The angel took me to a grand
entranceway that had no door.
Looking inside, I could see that the room itself wasn’t
large, but the holiness and power radiating from it
amazed me. Lined with crystal shelves, the inside walls
glowed with light.
On the shelves were many bottles, some of which were in
clusters of three and looked like clear glass. Under
each sparkling cluster of glass-like bottles was a
plaque with a name on it. There were many of these
bottles in the room.
Then inside the room I saw a man who appeared to have
been glorified. His deep purple robe was very beautiful
and looked like velvet.
An elegant table, which was made of a rich-looking
material and glowed with majestic splendor, was just
inside the door. The lavish display I saw astonished me!
Books were lying on the table, and they looked as if
they were sewn in the most beautiful silk-like material
I have ever seen. Some had diamonds, pearls, and lace on
them; others had green and purple stones on them. All of
them were intricately made.
I thought to myself, “Oh, God, how beautiful these books
are!" I love books. These books especially appealed to
me. They were stunning. As I gazed about, I was overcome
with wonder.
At this point the man in the room said to me, “Come and
see. I want to show you this room, and I want to explain
to you about tears. This is only one of many rooms like
it. I am in charge of this room."
As he talked, a large angel came through the
entranceway. The beauty and majesty of this heavenly
being astounded me. I noticed that he wore a white,
glistening garment with gold-edged trim that went all
the way down the front. He seemed to be about twelve
feet tall and had very large wings.
The angel held a small bowl in his hands. The golden
bowl was filled (see Revelation 5:8) with a liquid. The
man in the room told me, "He has just brought me a bowl
of tears from the earth. I want you to see what we do
with this."
The angel handed him the bowl, along with a piece of
paper. The note held the name of the person whose tears
were in the bowl.
The man in the room read the note and then went over to
one of the places where the bottles were kept. He read
the plaque under the bottle, and I knew it matched the
person from earth who was named in the note.
The man picked up the bottle that was nearly full and
brought it over to the bowl. He poured the tears from
the golden bowl into the bottle.
"I want to show you what we do here," the man said to
me. "Tell the people on earth about this." Then he took
the bottle over to the table, picked up one of the
books, opened it, and said, "Look!"
The pages in the book were completely blank. The keeper
of the room said to me, "These are tears from the saints
of God on earth as they cry to God. See what happens."
Then the man poured a drop from the bottle, one little
teardrop, on the first page of the book. When he did,
words began to appear immediately. Beautiful words,
elegantly handwritten, started appearing on the page.
Each time a tear fell on a page, a whole page of writing
appeared. He continued doing this page after page, time
and time again.
As he closed the book and spoke, he seemed to be saying
to all humanity as well as to me, "The most perfect
prayers are those that are bathed in tears that come
from the hearts and souls of men and women on earth."
Then the angel with rainbow wings said to me, "Come and
see the glory of God."
GOD OPENED THE BOOK
Immediately, we were transported to a huge place with
thousands and thousands of people and heavenly beings.
Oh, it was beautiful!
In a little while the people seemed to fade away, and an
even greater display of God’s glory began to appear
everywhere. The high praises of God became thunderous.
The angelic messenger took me to the throne of God.
I saw a huge cloud, a mist, and I saw an image of the
Being in the cloud. I could not see God’s face, but I
saw the glory of God and a rainbow over the throne. I
heard the voice of God, and it sounded to me just as
John de scribed it: "I heard a voice from heaven, like
the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud
thunder" (Revelation 14:2). In this mighty arena, I saw
many horses with riders beside the throne.
Suddenly, I saw a book lying on the huge altar in front
of God’s throne. I saw angels bowing before Him.
Standing in awe, I watched this scene, and I saw what
looked like a man’s hand come out of the cloud and open
up the book.
Somehow I knew it was the hand of God that opened the
book.
Amazed, I saw what looked like smoke ascending from the
book. Suddenly, the most beautiful perfume I ever
smelled filled the whole area where I stood. The angel
told me that this book contains the prayers of the
saints and that God was sending His angels to earth to
answer the prayers from the cries of their hearts. Every
body was praising and magnifying God.
As God opened up the book, pages began to come out of
the volume and fly into the hands of the angels on the
horses. I could hear His voice, "like the voice of loud
thunder," shouting and saying, "Go, answer her prayers!
Go, answer his prayers!"
You number my wanderings;
Put my tears into Your bottle;
Are they not in Your book?
When I cry out to You,
Then my enemies will turn back;
This I know, because God is for me.
In God (I will praise His word),
In the LORD (I will praise His word), ‘ In God I have
put my trust;
I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
(Psalm 56:8-11)
The living Word of God explains to us what He does with
our tears. How beautiful it is to understand the glory
and the wonder of our God! How marvelous it is to be
recipients of His compassion! He cares even about our
tears.
Many Scriptures speak to us about our tears, about our
sorrows, and about God’s com fort for us. Read these and
rejoice:
Thus says the LORD, the God of David
your father: "I have heard your prayer,
I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you."
(2 Kings 20:5)
I am weary with my groaning; all night I make my bed
swim; I drench my couch with my tears.
My eye wastes away because of grief, it grows old
because of all my enemies.
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the
LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
The LORD has heard my supplication; The LORD will
receive my prayer.
(Psalm 6:6-9)
For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from
tears, and my feet
from falling.
(Psalm 116:8)
Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who
continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his
sheaves with him.
(Psalm 126:5-6)
He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord GOD will
wipe away tears from all faces.
(Isaiah 25:8)
Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from
tears; for your work shall be rewarded, says the LORD,
and they shall come back from the land of
the enemy.
(Jeremiah 31:16)
The Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd
them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And
God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
(Revelation 7:17)
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there
shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There
shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed
away.
(Revelation 21:4)
And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to
Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads.
They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and
sighing shall flee away.
(Isaiah 35:10)
Glory to God, heaven is a real place! We will really be
going there. And, we will not be vapors of smoke
floating on a cloud when we go to heaven.
One of the wonderful things about heaven is that our
tears and sorrows will be replaced with eternal joy, as
promised in the Word of God. Yet, there is much more!
----------------------------------------------------------
The Throne Of God
Heaven is a real place. It is a literal destination. It
is not some ephemeral dream, some imagined vision. God
has revealed to all of us many of the realities of
heaven through the Holy Scriptures.
THE FIRST HEAVEN
First, there is an atmospheric heaven. This is the
atmosphere around the earth. It is where the birds fly
and the winds blow. This is where showers, storms,
mists, vapors, and clouds are formed. The sky is the
place the angel was referring to in Acts 1:11 when he
asked the disciples why they were "gazing up into
heaven." Jesus, when He was talking to His Father,
"lifted up His eyes to heaven" (John 17:1), or toward
the sky.
THE SECOND HEAVEN
Then, there is the heaven of space. This is the region
of the sun, the moon, and the stars. It is mentioned in
the Bible in many places, a few of which are given here:
Blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will
multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and
as the sand which is on the seashore.
(Genesis 22:17)
And take heed, lest you lift your eyes to heaven, and
when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the
host of heaven, you feel driven to worship them and
serve them, which the LORD your God has given to all the
peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage.
(Deuteronomy 4:19)
Can you bind the cluster of the Pieiades, or loose the
belt of Orion?
Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season? Or can you
guide the Great Bear with its cubs?
Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set
their dominion over the earth?
(Job 38:31-33)
For the stars of heaven and their constellations will
not give their light; the sun will be darkened in its
going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to
shine.
(Isaiah 13:10)
Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun
will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the
heavens will be shaken.
(Matthew 24:29)
THE THIRD HEAVEN
The destination of the righteous, however, is beyond the
atmosphere and the starry skies. This place is what the
apostle Paul referred to when he wrote, "I know a man in
Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third
heaven" (2 Corinthians 12:2 NIV).
Heaven, as I am using the term throughout this book, is
the region often spoken of as the immediate presence of
God:
For Christ has not entered the holy places made with
hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven
itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.
(Hebrews 9:24)
Heaven is where God lives. When Jesus taught us to pray,
He said to pray to "our Father in heaven" (Matthew 6:9).
In 1 Kings 8:30, heaven is called the dwelling place of
God. In Psalm 11:4, it is called God’s holy temple and
the place where His throne is.
There, in the temple of God’s divine majesty, His
excellent glory is revealed in the most conspicuous
manner. It is a sacred place of light, joy, and glory.
We don’t know exactly where the location is, but often
in the Bible heaven is indicated as being "up."
We know that God Almighty is in heaven. There He and
Jesus Christ are the central focus of saints, angels,
and all worshipping beings.
What glorious company there is in heaven! Angels are
there, because Jesus said, "In heaven angels always see
the face of My Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 18:10).
The saints are there because Jesus promised us, "Where I
am, there you may be also" (John 14:3). We are told in 1
Peter 1:4 that an inheritance has been reserved for us
in heaven- an inheritance that is incorruptible,
undefiled, and that will not fade away.
Saints, it excites me to testify of my beautiful visit
to heaven. I am thrilled to tell you of the things I saw
and the people I saw.
THE PRAISE OF HEAVEN
After the angel of God had shown me the room of tears,
he repeated the litany I heard so often throughout my
visits to heaven: "Come and see the glory of your God!"
The radiant, magnificent, celestial splendor of heaven
overwhelmed me. The blazes of glory that seemed to shoot
from everything I saw filled me with awe. The beauty and
bliss of that fair land cannot accurately be pictured by
the mind’s eye unless a person has seen it for him self.
At that moment, I thought of the words I once heard
someone quote:
The light of heaven
Is the face of Jesus.
The joy of heaven
Is the presence of Jesus.
The harmony of heaven
Is the praise of Jesus.
The theme of heaven
Is the work of Jesus.
The employment of heaven
Is the service of Jesus.
The fullness of heaven
Is Jesus Himself.
As I went with the angel, I could feel joy, peace, and
happiness everywhere. My thoughts went to my family on
earth, and it seemed the angel knew my thoughts. He said
to me, "You have a mission to fulfill for God. You are
to tell the people on earth what is up here. God is
showing you some of heaven, but not all of it. Come and
see the glory of your God."
When we reached our destination, I could hear many, many
voices singing praises to God.
The magnificent music of the worshippers of heaven
thrilled my soul. Honor and glory echoed and reechoed
across the wide expanse of heaven as seraphim and saints
sang endless anthems of praise with exuberance.
APPROACHING THE THRONE
My soul was exhilarated and transported with joy.
Somehow I knew we were nearing the throne of God.
The angel who guided me stopped a long way off, far back
from the throne of God. I could see a panoramic view of
events that were taking place. I saw the same scene that
John saw in his vision that he described in Revelation:
Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels
around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders;
and the number of them was ten thousand times ten
thousand, and thousands of thousands.
(Revelation 5:11)
Oh, people of earth, if you can only realize what God
has in store for us who love Him!
As I gazed in rapture at the scene before me, something
even more wonderful happened. I could hear louder than
ever these thousands upon thousands of voices praising
God. Then- wonder of all wonders!-the angel permitted me
to see what I had always longed to see, the throne of
God.
THE GLORIOUS THRONE OF GOD
God’s throne was "high and lifted up" (Isaiah 6:1).
Coming out from under the base, the River of Life flowed
in its beauty and purity. The glory of God overshadowed
the throne. It seemed that lightning, thunder, and
voices were all around the throne. John, in describing a
vision he had of heaven, said,
And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings,
and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the
throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
(Revelation 4:5)
I saw a rainbow arching above and around the throne, "in
appearance like an emerald" (Revelation 4:3). The
brilliant, glorious hues of the rainbow were mixed with
light, producing dazzlingly intense colors.
It was unlike anything I have ever seen on earth. Varied
colors of radiant light signified glory and power.
Blazes of splendor flashed from the throne. Beams of
glory radiated from it. So much of heaven seems
transparent, and those illustrious beams that come forth
from the throne are filled with light that is reflected
in every part of paradise!
How long I stayed in this heavenly arena, I do not know,
but I was overwhelmed with awe. I thought of the
thousands who have gone on to heaven and of the many
thousands who will yet come. I thought of the holiness
of God, the purity of His majesty, and the perfection of
His Word. I shouted aloud, "Oh, God! How wonderful it is
to behold Your glory and Your majesty and Your power!"
As before, the angel of the Lord said to me, "Come with
me. There are many other things in heaven that I want to
show you."
THE ROOM OF RECORDS
I was amazed to see a room of records in which
meticulous records were being kept. The angel said that
God has His angels keep records of every church service
on earth and every service in a home where He is lifted
up and praised.
God also keeps records on those who are out of His will.
He showed me how God’s angels keep records of the money
that is given in church services, along with a record of
the attitudes with which people contribute. He told me
of people who have money but won’t give to the work of
the Lord.
I thought of how Jesus carefully watched the offering
and the treasury when He went to the temple of the Lord:
Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the
people put money into the treasury. And many who were
rich put in much.
Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which
make a quadrans [ than a penny].
So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them,
"Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in
more than all those who have given to the treasury;
"for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out
of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole
livelihood."
(Mark 12:41-44)
As the many things were revealed to me, including the
room where the record books are kept, the angel reminded
me that I was to re member to make a record of these
things. He said there were many things that were
mysteries to me, as I was only seeing dimly (1
Corinthians 13:12). But the angel emphasized that I was
to tell the people on earth about the things I saw.
As we reached another part of heaven, I looked down a
very long corridor. Its walls were high, and they seemed
to be made of platinum. I could hear the high praises of
God ringing out continually. I was amazed at the
brilliancy of light and glory that reflected from the
walls. Puzzled, I asked, "What is this?" It seemed like
the walls were miles long; I couldn’t see the end of
them.
THE STOREHOUSE OF GOD
The angel who was showing me these things said, "Look at
the top of this wall." There on the top of it was etched
the word, Storehouse. When I asked, "What are these
rooms?", the angel told me these rooms contained
blessings that are stored up for God’s people!
Heaven is perfect purity, and God wants to purify His
saints on earth so they will enjoy heaven’s atmosphere.
Heaven is fullness of joy, and God desires to give joy
to His people on earth. Heaven is everlasting freedom,
and God longs for His people to have deliverance while
on earth. Heaven is perfect wholeness, and God wants to
heal His people here on earth. Heaven is complete
security, and God wants His people to feel confident and
secure here on earth. Heaven is fruition and
fulfillment, and God de sires that His people be
fulfilled on earth.
When Jesus instructed us to pray that God’s "will be
done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10), He
revealed that God wants us to have a taste of heaven
here on earth!
Saints, the Lord has storehouses of blessings just for
you. They are waiting in heaven for you to claim them
and to receive them now, here on earth. God wants to
save you. He wants to deliver you. He wants to heal you.
He wants you to know "the peace of God, which surpasses
all understanding" (Philippians 4:7). He wants you to
experience a lasting "joy inexpressible and full of
glory" (1 Peter 1:8).
THE HEALING JESUS
"See the glory of your God," the angel pro claimed. When
he disappeared, Jesus stood be side me.
I looked at Jesus. He seemed to be taller now than I had
perceived Him to be before. The brilliant robe He wore
hung on Him elegantly and gracefully. Sandals graced His
scarred feet, and His face and hair were glorious and
beautiful.
As I gazed at Him, I asked, "Jesus, what are these
rooms?"
The Lord didn’t speak to me, but He put out His hand and
moved it toward the wall. At that moment, a large
opening appeared in the wall. All around the edges of
the opening I saw glory and power and light. Like every
other object, this seemed to give glory to God. I cried
out, "Oh, Lord, what is this?"
He said to me, "My child, these are for My people. They
are for sinners on the earth, if they will only believe.
I died to make them whole."
As I looked into His eyes, I knew that He wanted people
to believe that He, Jesus Christ, had died so that we
could be made whole. He said, "Healings are waiting for
people on earth. The day will come when there will be an
avalanche of miracles and healings on the earth."
Continuing, He said, "Child, as far as you can see,
these are supply buildings, or store houses. The
blessings contained here await the belief of those on
earth. All they have to do is believe and
receive-believe that I am the Lord Jesus Christ and that
I am able to do these things, and receive My gifts."
"When you go back to the earth," He emphasized,
"remember that it is not you who does the healing. It is
not the vessel that heals; it is I. Just speak my Word
and pray, and I will do the healing. Believe that I can
do it."
I shouted, "Glory to God! Hallelujah! Thank You, Jesus!"
Jesus put His hand down, and the opening in the wall
closed.
Then the angel and I traveled at a very fast speed to
another place. Here, too, I could hear the music and the
glorious shouts of the people of God. The angel said,
"Child, I’ve been commanded by the Lord to show you
several things. Tell the people about these things."
----------------------------------------------------------
Before, Now, and After
At this point in my vision, the angel of the Lord began
to reveal things to me that I had often wondered about
previously. He began to tell me about a great mystery.
He said, "God has spoken, and I am to show you before,
now, and after. The things I am going to show will give
you great excitement. I am going to reveal to you what
happens when a person is born again. I will show you how
a person’s sins are washed away by the blood of the Lamb
in the record rooms.
"I am going to show you what happens when a born-again
individual dies on earth and his soul comes to heaven.
Come and see the glory of your God."
We traveled from heaven at a fast rate of speed, and
soon we were back over the earth. I could see the earth
as in a vision, and the angel said to me, "Look and
behold."
As the angel allowed the vision to pass be fore me, I
saw a beautiful little church in the country. Now, I
don’t know where the church was located geographically,
but it was a rural church, way out in the country.
With the assistance of the angel of God, I was allowed
to look into the building. I could see about thirty
people seated in the pews. The pastor in the pulpit
preached on this passage:
Seek the LORD while He may be found.
Call upon Him while He is near.
the wicked forsake his way, and the
unrighteous man his thoughts; let him
return to the LORD, and He will have
mercy on him; and to our God, for He
will abundantly pardon.
(Isaiah 55:6-7)
As I gazed on this scene, I saw a mighty angel standing
over the church. The guiding an gel beside me said, "A
large angel is stationed at every church. This angel is
in charge of all the other angels of that church."
ANGELS AT CHURCH
Two angels with books stood outside the door of the
church. I could see people going in and out of the
church. Then my angel guide signaled with his hand, and
it seemed as if the roof rolled back, and I could see
inside the church.
An angel stood on each side of the pastor at the pulpit.
Beyond those two were two more an gels. This made four
angels around the pulpit.
Two angels stood at the back of the church, behind the
congregation. Two more stood about halfway up the aisle,
and up near the altar stood two more angels. So there
were quite a few an gels in the church, and several of
them had scrolls and pens in their hands. The angel said
to me, "I want to show you what happens."
The pastor began to speak, and the ushers started to
take up the offering. As the offering was received, the
angels recorded the people’s attitudes in giving. They
recorded the contributors’ thoughts-whether they
begrudged giving to the work of the Lord, or if they
enjoyed giving the offering and viewed it as an act of
worship. The angels logged it all in their record books.
Then the two big angels in the front of the pulpit
nodded their heads at the other angels.
These activities of the angels were invisible to the
people in the church, but I could see it all clearly.
Then my guide said to me, "I want to show you something
else. Watch closely, and you will be blessed."
Suddenly, it seemed as if I had been moved behind the
pastor. As he was preaching on the sixth verse-"Seek the
LORD while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is
near"-I could see a host of heavenly beings inside the
church. All the time the service was going on, the
angels were rejoicing. The minister was anointed as he
preached that message. One of the angels was pouring
what looked like fire on his head. The glories of God
were coming from the preacher’s mouth.
At the back of the church, a door opened, and a man who
was very drunk staggered in. He came down the aisle,
saying, "I am the one you are talking to, preacher. I
need the Lord. I need to be saved. I am an alcoholic."
The man dropped to his knees at the front altar and
began to cry out to God.
Two of the deacons went to the altar to minister to him.
Putting their arms around him, they asked him, "Do you
mean business with God? Do you really want to be saved?"
"Yes, I want to be saved," the man said.
"I’m an alcoholic. I need to be set free."
A SOUL IS SAVED
Two more angels suddenly appeared. They had scrolls in
their hands, and they began to write down what the man
said. Then the deacons began to lead him through the
process of salvation. I saw that this man was filled
with sin. However, as the deacons prayed with him, one
of the angels touched his heart, and smoke as dark as a
rain cloud came spewing out of his chest.
When I saw this, I recalled some of the Scriptures that
talk about the vile sins that come out of the heart:
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings
forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil
treasure brings forth evil things.
(Matthew 12:35)
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the
heart, and these make a man "unclean."
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder,
adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony,
slander.
(Matthew 15:18-19 NIV)
As the man began to pray to God with up raised hands, I
saw wide, black bands that were wrapped all around him.
He was in bondage to all kinds of sin, but especially to
alcohol addiction and drunkenness. A deacon said to him,
"You must confess these sins to God, so that He can
forgive you, and so you can be washed in the blood of
the Lamb."
As he began to confess his sins, an angel touched him. I
could see fire come from the an gel’s hands. The bands
started to break and burst off of him.
This gave the man tremendous liberty. He raised his
hands and praised the Lord. He stood up, and I saw the
glory of God come down on him. I know the Lord sobered
him up, because he began to shout praises to the Lord.
Then the two mighty angels looked at each other and
nodded their heads. They came back through the air to
where we were and said, "Come and see the glory of God."
IN THE RECORD ROOMS AGAIN
We traveled back to heaven with the other two angels
very rapidly. After we entered through the gate, we went
down a beautiful pathway that appeared to be made of
gold. Quickly we were transported to a lovely room.
The angel said, "Come and see what we do here." The long
corridor we were in led to many other rooms similar to
the one we were entering. The angel said, "There are
many of these rooms in heaven. These are called rooms of
records. You will see what goes on in these rooms."
The angel said, "We are going to the room that contains
the name of the man who was just converted on earth."
In the room I saw the angels from earth go quickly and
give the report written on a scroll to another angel.
Several ladders were positioned along the walls in the
rectangular room. Shelves covered the walls, and all the
books were on the shelves. The scene reminded me of a
library on earth.
Other angels, singing and praising God, stood in a line
in front of a large desk. It was about eight feet across
and four feet wide. A square cutout was in the center of
the desk, which was overlaid with solid gold. It was so
beautiful. It was carved with leaves and fruit.
It was the most beautiful desk one could ever imagine. I
have never seen anything like it-or even a picture like
it-on the earth. I was caught up with the glory and the
majesty of God in this room.
Angels were going up and down ladders. They were
continuously pulling books down from the shelves and
returning them to the correct places. Several angels
were standing nearby with reports from other parts of
the earth.
I noticed that some of the books in the wall were
different shades of color. Then I saw two of the angels
from the church standing in a line with a book they had
pulled from the shelf. It contained the record of the
very man I had just witnessed being born again on earth.
The angel with me said, "Do you see the two angels from
the church service?"
"Yes."
"Do you see the book in their hands?"
"Yes."
"That is the record book of the man who just got saved.
They have retrieved it from the shelves. Now they must
go to the angel in charge."
My guide explained that in every record room, there is
an angel in charge. Everything that goes in or out of
the room goes past that angel. All is done in order to
the glory of God.
I was amazed to see all these things going on. The angel
in charge wore a brilliant head dress that is beyond my
capacity to describe. He had golden hair and a
glistening, white robe with a lot of gold on it. This
gorgeous angel had a wingspread of about twelve feet. He
was the most beautiful angel I had ever seen. The angel
was the main record keeper of that room.
The angel in charge looked at me and motioned for me to
come to his side. The power of God moved me, and I was
quickly standing by the angel’s right side.
He said to me, "You are allowed to be here so that we
can show you what happens when someone on earth is born
again. You are to tell the people on earth."
The wonder of it thrilled me beyond words!
KEEPING RECORDS
As I looked out in front of me, the high praises of God
were going up all around. I could hear bells ringing,
although I could not see them. Delightful, laughing,
glorious, happy an gels stood with books in their hands,
waiting to talk to the angel in charge.
I started to praise and magnify God anew for His
wondrous power and His glorious acts.
"Do you see the two angels in front of the desk?" my
angel guide asked me.
"Yes," I replied.
"They were present when this man was born again."
He pulled a message out of the scroll; it was like a
marker in the book. I couldn’t see what was written on
the paper or the scroll. Then the angel said, "Look at
what is written here," as he showed it to me.
The message was written in an orderly fashion, and it
was beautiful. I saw the name of the country, the name
of the state, the name of the county, the name of the
city, and the name of the church.
The angel showed me the name of the pastor and how many
people were in the church. He showed me the order of the
service. The entire record was written down. He showed
me the people who participated in the church service and
the details of the offering that was taken.
The name of the man whose salvation I had seen on earth
was recorded on the paper. The message of the Gospel of
the Lord Jesus Christ that was preached to save his soul
and the exact time to the very second he was born
again-it was all written there. I shouted, "Glory to
God!"
When the written account got to the point where the man
prayed the sinner’s prayer and received Jesus Christ as
Lord and Savior, the angel looked at the two messenger
angels and asked, "Were you witnesses that this man was
born again at this hour and this time?"
They said, "Yes, we were witnesses. We were there. He
received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We saw it
happen."
The noise of the glory, the praises, and the shouts that
went up at that moment was astounding. All of heaven was
magnifying God.
Then the angel wrote something in the book he kept and
closed the pages. The book was very thick. He said to
me, "Look behind you." I saw many people, redeemed
saints, dressed in white robes and arrayed in splendor.
THE BLOOD OF JESUS
These redeemed saints of the Most High God were singing
this song:
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.
I’ve been redeemed
By the blood of the Lamb.
As I observed, the man’s book was handed to one of the
rejoicing saints. Page after page of the old writings
were washed away. They lifted up the pages one by one,
and I could see that every page had been washed in the
blood of Jesus. Nothing of this person’s sins remained.
And this Scripture came to me from Isaiah:
I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for
my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.
(Isaiah 43:25)
I thought, "Oh, God, how beautiful it is that Your Word
still marches on. That man’s sins were washed away by
the blood of the Lamb."
As I watched, the book was handed to an other angel.
This heavenly being had long, beautiful hair. The book
was laid on a tray that the angel carried. The angels
saluted each other, and shouts of glory went up.
The angel who accompanied me said, "Come and see the
glory of your God." I began traveling with him at a very
fast pace through the corridors of heaven.
THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE
Again I stood before the throne of God. Dear ones, there
were horns blowing, and the sound of trumpets blared. A
cloud of glory, the Shekinah glory, illuminated the
entire area around the throne.
There was much thunder and lightning. I could hear a
multitude of voices saying, "Glory to God! Hallelujah!"
I watched this mighty scene, and I saw the angel lay the
book on the altar of God and bow down low. The voice of
God resonated loudly through the air, yet I understood
every word. God said, "Another soul has been redeemed by
My Son’s blood. Another person has received eternal
salvation through the blood of My Son."
All the bells of heaven were ringing! All of heaven’s
populace was shouting! I bowed down and began to praise
God.
I saw the Lamb’s Book of Life (Revelation 21:27) on the
altar of God, and I saw a hand come out of that cloud
and open up the book that was laid there by the angel.
Then the man’s name was written down in the Lamb’s Book
of Life. Glory to God! Saints, our names are surely
written down in the Book of Life, also.
As I watched this mighty scene, the angel of God said,
"Come and see the glory of God." Immediately, I was
taken out of heaven again at the speed of light. As I
went with the angel, I thought of this passage from
Isaiah:
I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden
riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the
LORD, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel.
For Jacob My servant’s sake, and Israel My elect, I have
even called you by your name; I have named you, though
you have not known Me.
(Isaiah 45:3-4)
RIVER OF LIFE
In the next scene of my vision, I watched as the Lord
took the saints of the living God through the River of
Life. Oh, the River of Life flows from the throne of God
and the Lamb (Revelation 22:1). As the saints passed
through the River of Life, I could hear them shouting,
"Glory to God!"
Then I saw a countless company of saints who were being
clothed in the whitest, most gorgeous robes anyone could
ever see. I remembered that John wrote this:
Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are
these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come
from?" And I said to him, "Sir, you know." So he said to
me, "These are the ones who come out of the great
tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white
in the blood of the Lamb."
(Revelation 7:13-14)
BEFORE THE THRONE
I was allowed to go again before the throne of God and
witness an awesome, exciting scene. I could hear the
sound of trumpets as I stood before the throne of God.
Words fail me to de scribe adequately the thrill and awe
I felt.
Twelve angels stood ministering before the throne,
arrayed in garments beyond any worthy description. The
best I can tell you is that on the breastplates of their
apparel, they had jewels embedded in their garments.
Atop their heads they had some kind of heavenly material
of glorious colors. Gold edging adorned their long
robes.
The blare of trumpets announced the saints as they came,
one by one, to stand before God. An inestimable number
of saints, angels, and heavenly beings made up a huge
gallery. All of them were glorifying God.
REDEEMED ONES
The redeemed of all ages were glorious and beautiful.
They were real people-not puffs of smoke or clouds
floating in space.
Everywhere I looked, I saw the angels of God praising
His majesty continuously.
Standing before the throne, I heard a great voice
saying:
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will
dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God
Himself will be with them and be their God.
(Revelation 21:3)
Then I saw a cloud of glory filled with lightning,
thunder, and voices. As I looked, I saw the hand of God
come out of the cloud and begin to wipe the tears of the
saints from their eyes. The Word says that "God will
wipe away every tear from their eyes" (Revelation 2
1:4).
I heard God say,
There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.
There shall be no more pain, for the former things have
passed away. …Behold, I make all things new.
(Revelation 21:4-5)
God said to the assembled saints, "I see that your names
are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Welcome into the
joy of the Lord." Once again, another Scripture came to
my mind
Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful
over a few things, I will make you ruler over many
things. Enter into the joy of your lord.
(Matthew 25:21)
With that the Lord placed magnificent golden crowns on
the heads of all of His sanctified ones.
I knew that the blessings of God would continue to flow
for all of the redeemed. I knew they would never end!
----------------------------------------------------------
Storehouses of Heaven
I believe Jesus Christ revealed heaven to me as He did
in order to give me balance. He knew that I had been
through many visits to hell, and experiencing hell was
so horrible that He gave me the blessing of seeing
heaven.
On one of my visits to heaven, I was shown God’s
storehouses. The angel of the Lord said to me, "Come and
see the glory of your God."
The angel was very beautiful and tall. His
rainbow-colored wings were shaped like triangles. He
told me that God had given him instructions, and he was
to show me parts of heaven.
We began to go up higher through the atmosphere and went
through the entrance to heaven again. I saw fruit trees
loaded with beautiful fruit. I saw families dressed in
beautiful robes, walking up and down the hillside,
praising God.
The environment was saturated with the most beautiful
music you would ever want to hear. Heavenly music is a
manifestation of joy. It is an evidence of happiness, a
proof of joy.
I have heard magnificent choirs and grand ensembles that
created and performed beautiful music here on earth.
But, saints, nothing down here can compare with the
splendor and beauty of the music and singing there.
Heaven was a symphony of music. Imagine, if you can,
millions of perfectly pitched voices, sweetly singing
the melodies of heaven! Not a single one was off-key.
Everything was in perfect harmony.
Stringed instruments provided beautiful accompaniment,
along with trumpets and other kinds of musical
instruments. They all blended with the voices of the
redeemed saints who were praising God with rapturous
joy. The tones of the instruments, like the singing
voices, had been purified and made perfect by the power
of Almighty God.
Oh, it was glorious to hear the wonderful praises to
God. Voices that are without quality of tone or pitch on
earth will sing in beautiful harmony in heaven. We will
all be happy over there. Even a ten-thousand-voice choir
here would pale in comparison with the grand and
eloquent music of God’s celestial city!
Wave after wave of unbelievable anthems of praise
billowed over the landscape and through the streets of
heaven. It was so all- encompassing that I could hear or
think of nothing else for some time.
Finally, the angel said, "Come and see the glory of
God."
I remember going with him through an area that had the
greenest grass imaginable.
There were huge clusters of flowers in certain parts of
the grass. The flowers were splendid and looked somewhat
like roses. Each plant had at least one bloom consisting
of beautiful petals. And, saints, the flowers looked
like they were singing!
HORSES OF HEAVEN
Traveling on with the angel, we passed a place where
there were beautiful, white horses. I remembered reading
in Revelation about horses and how Jesus will one day be
astride a white horse, leading the armies of heaven, who
will also be riding white horses:
Now I saw heaven opened, and be hold, a white horse. And
He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness He judges and makes war.
His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were
many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew
except Himself
He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name
is called The Word of God.
And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white
and clean, followed Him on white horses.
(Revelation 19:11-14)
These horses looked as noble as marble chess pieces.
They looked as if they were huge statues that had been
chiseled out of boulders, but they were real and alive.
Their hooves were gigantic. They were pure white and
very regal.
A woman dressed in a beautiful robe was smiling and
talking to the horses, directing them to bow their knees
in praise to God. All of them, at the same time, bowed
their right knees and praised the Lord!
I thought, "Oh, how beautiful!" And I remembered reading
in the Bible that every creature in heaven and on earth
would honor and praise God:
I have sworn by Myself the word has gone out of My mouth
in righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every
knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.
(Isaiah 45:23)
" For it is written: "As I live, says the LORD, Every
knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to
God."
(Romans 14:11)
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him
the name which is above every name, that at the name of
Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of
those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that
every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
(Philippians 2:9-11)
Every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and
under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that
are in them, I heard saying: "Blessing and honor and
glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to
the Lamb, forever and ever!"
(Revelation 5:13)
Peace, joy, and happiness were everywhere. I could hear
people praising God.
Suddenly, I could no longer see the angel with me, but
there stood Jesus. He seemed to me to be very tall in
stature, and He wore a robe that was distinctive from
the robes of others.
His piercing eyes were beautiful. He had what looked
like a neatly-trimmed beard and very thick hair. I
remember looking at Him and thinking that the tenderness
in His eyes is be yond a writer’s description. The
loveliness of the Blessed Savior was awe-inspiring and
wonderful.
Everything within me wanted to praise Him, to worship
and bow before Him, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
Jesus Christ. Glory and power billowed all around Him.
STOREHOUSES OF HEALING
I noticed that Jesus’ eyes had taken on a troubled look.
I asked, "Jesus, what is it?"
"Child, look!"
He waved His hand toward a building where I saw a large
opening. From the opening, glory and power-billows and
billows of power- came streaming out.
I asked Him again, "Jesus, what is this?"
"Child, do you see the healings in these storehouses?"
"Yes, Lord."
"All of these blessings await the people of God."
The sufferings in this life are indeed tragic. How much
sickness, disease, physical affliction, deformity, and
similar ills people suffer here!
You see it everywhere. Just walk up and down the
corridors of any hospital or major medical center. Visit
the contagious disease wards, the mental health wings,
the intensive care facilities, the emergency rooms, and
other places that take care of people in terrible pain
and unbearable physical and mental anguish.
Sickness is a result of the fall of Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden. It is one of sin’s con sequences. Some
see sickness as a nuisance, a tragedy of the human
condition, or just a part of normal existence. In
reality, it is a curse of Satan.
HEALING IN HEAVEN
The need for healing is overwhelming.
Sickness is a corruption of God’s will. It is an
unnatural element in the economy of God. It does not
originate with God; it does not come from heaven. Sin is
from an evil source, not a good source.
When we get to heaven, all sickness, disease, and
suffering will be gone forever. Paul wrote of the
ultimate redemption of our bodies:
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time
are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall
be revealed in us.
For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly
waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
(Romans 8:18-19)
The worst physical suffering possible in this life is
not worthy of comparison with the exceedingly wonderful
glory that will be hereafter. In heaven with perfect
bodies, we will rest in Christ with no more pain or
physical affliction. Still, He also wants us to be
healed now.
One of the names of God in the Bible is Jehovah-Rapha,
which means "the Lord, our Healer." God made a special
covenant of healing with His people. He promised Israel:
If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God
and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His
commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none
of the diseases on you which I have brought on the
Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.
(Exodus 15:26)
Although sickness is part of the curse of sin, Jesus has
lifted the curse for believers through His atonement for
sin. The wounds and bruises Christ suffered paid the
price for sin. He became our Savior. Yet, His suffering
did more than just pay for sin: it established and
authenticated Jesus as Healer!
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was
bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our
peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
(Isaiah 53:5)
[Jesus] Himself bore our sins in His own body on the
tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for
righteous ness; by whose stripes you were healed.
(1 Peter 2:24)
HEALING IS FOR TODAY
The healing ministry of Christ did not cease when He was
taken up from the disciples into heaven. The Acts of the
Apostles is a continuation "of all that Jesus began both
to do and teach" (Acts 1:1).
Jesus modeled a healing ministry on earth and taught
that healing is a part of the kingdom benefits. Before
He returned to His Father, Jesus instructed believers to
go and heal the sick. He said,
And these signs will follow those who believe: In My
name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new
tongues;
will take up serpents; and if they drink anything
deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay
hands on the sick, and they will recover.
(Mark 16:17-18)
Jesus also told us:
And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that
the Father may be glorified in the Son.
If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. If you
love Me, keep My commandments.
(John 14: 13-15)
Christ seemed to have disappeared, and I was walking
with the angel among the store houses. I thought, "So
many storehouses, Lord."
Jesus spoke to my spirit: "Child, when you pray for
somebody on the earth, pray for them in My name.
Remember that you don’t do the healing-I do. Ask Me to
heal an eye or leg, and I will do it. Ask Me to
straighten crooked limbs or heal sick bodies, and I will
heal them.
"Whatever you want Me to do, ask in My name, and I will
do it. I have the answers wait ing in these
storehouses."
Jesus emphasized that the blessings in these storehouses
were for His people and for the sinners on the earth. I
remembered that He had said that very soon there will be
an avalanche of healings in the world.
I thought of the healings that are already occurring on
the earth, and I thought, "Lord, how wonderful You are
to repair our bodies!"
As we grow older, our bodies begin to wear out or
deteriorate. That is a natural effect of sin, and we
will never be entirely free from these consequences. But
God doesn’t desire that we spend our later years
bedridden and ineffective. He wants to keep us active
and productive. Jesus died so we could be made whole.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, shed His blood so that we
could be saved from hell. If we believe that Jesus
Christ is the Son of God, we have hope. The hope for our
souls is in Jesus.
Jesus Christ suffered for the healing of our bodies. Our
privilege, our blessing, and our hope for wholeness and
wellness are in Jesus. He is the hope for our physical
well-being.
Saints, there are storehouses of unclaimed blessings in
heaven. They are ready to be claimed by God’s people who
ask in faith-and in the name of Jesus!
When He was on earth, the Lord once said, "I go to
prepare a place for you" (John 14:2). The place He is
preparing is in heaven. It is a beautiful place of many
beautiful things.
As I give my testimony in this book and as I speak about
heaven, the thoughts of that place thrill my soul. Thank
God for the beautiful Word that He has given unto us,
His children!
----------------------------------------------------------
Order in Heaven
1 Heaven is a busy place. It is filled with activity and
excitement. Angels are always doing things; they are
always engaged in useful, industrious enterprises.
One purpose of this book is to tell you how I saw the
angels working in heaven. They are happy and
joyful-never tired, never sad. They are always praising
God.
Redeemed saints are busy in heaven, too. They always
have work to do. Exactly what kind of work all the
saints are engaged in, I do not know. But you can be
sure that no one is idle in that fair land. Saints are
busy in kinds of work that no one on earth has ever
experienced. They are engaged in stimulating,
exhilarating, fulfilling tasks. They are continually
glorifying God and doing the things God ordained for
them to do.
When I saw the angels who flew from the earth with
reports, they were coming into heaven from all over the
world. They had been to many church services and many
prayer meetings.
While observing the things on the earth, they always
held in their hands white pieces of paper that looked
like scrolls, which had gold edges. Then they would
return to certain areas of heaven and share their
reports with other angels.
HEAVEN’S POPULATION
In one area of heaven I saw saintly men who wore
beautiful, glorious, white robes. immediately, I thought
of this Scripture:
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be
joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the
garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe
of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with
ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her
jewels.
(Isaiah 61:10)
The people I saw in heaven had distinctive features and
were from all nations of the earth. The Holy Scriptures
say:
After these things I looked, and be hold, a great
multitude which no one could number, of all nations,
tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne
and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm
branches in their hands.
(Revelation 7:9)
Another thing that made a lasting impression on me was
the fact that heaven is such an orderly place.
Everything that was done was always done thoroughly,
properly, and with the highest degree of excellence. No
work was shoddy; no product poor; no activity mediocre.
When I saw families walking on the holy hills of heaven
and praising God, it was such a beautiful sight. Their
joy and happiness were uninhibited and without
restraint. They seemed to be always going and doing
marvelous deeds in the Lord’s presence.
Everything, whether done individually or in groups, was
done in an orderly fashion. Heaven is completely free of
impurities and imperfections. It is perfect in every
sense of the word. All of the alterations and changes we
are familiar with here on earth are unknown in the
paradise of God. Perfect joy and peace fill the hearts,
souls, and bodies of all who are there.
PERFECT ORDER
Divine, perfect order and purpose characterize
everything that happens in heaven.
Both angels and saints are continuously engaged in
excellent, joyful service. No one is idle. No one is
ever bored. God’s children, as well as the angels and
all the heavenly creatures, serve Him day and night
forever.
When we receive new heavenly bodies after the
resurrection of the saints, we will never grow tired or
become weak. We will never know fatigue. Our
supernatural, glorified bodies will never lose their
strength. In eternity, time is suspended and
circumstances do not ravage the mind, the will, or the
body.
To engage in the employments and enjoyments of heaven,
we must have a heavenly nature. And this is what happens
when we are born again-we become "partakers of the
divine nature" (2 Peter 1:4), as Peter explained:
His divine power has given us every thing we need for
life and godliness through our knowledge of him who
called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these
he has given us his very great and precious promises, so
that through them you may participate in the divine
nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by
evil desires.
(2 Peter 1:3-4 NIV)
The architecture of heaven was designed and built in
eternity past by the eternal God. In one part I saw what
looked like an entire block of the city of heaven. The
buildings were very large, and across the top of each
was a huge, impressive crown made of many jewels. I
don’t know how many people occupied those grand
buildings because I didn’t go inside any of them. But
they were all stately and spacious, far beyond anything
you have ever seen on earth.
I thought of how the Scriptures say that when we are
laboring on earth for Jesus, we are laying up treasures
in heaven (Luke 18:22). I remembered these verses:
And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their
thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying:
"We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, the One who is
and who was and who is to come, because You have taken
Your great power and reigned.
"The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, and
the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and
that You should reward Your servants the prophets and
the saints, and those who fear Your name, small and
great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth."
(Revelation 11:16-18)
For indeed your reward is great in heaven.
(Luke 6:23)
And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with
Me, to give to every one according to his work.
(Revelation 22:12)
CHARIOTS OF GOD
As we moved to another part of heaven, the angel of the
Lord said to me, "Come and see the glory of your God."
The angel showed me the chariots of God. The wheels of
them were so large they are difficult to describe. They
were studded with diamonds and precious rubies and
emeralds.
Each chariot had at least two wheels on each side. The
fronts of the chariots were low and open like sleighs.
They seemed as if they were on fire, but they were never
consumed.
BODIES OF QUALITY
The features of all the people I saw in heaven were
glorified and beautiful. Not one person had any scars,
and they all looked radiant and handsome.
I have heard people say, "Well, we are just going to be
a vapor of smoke." No, you are not going to be a vapor
of smoke. You will have a bodily form and features.
The Bible says there are elders around the throne:
Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the
thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in
white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.
(Revelation 4:4)
The patriarchs in heaven are beautiful saints of God who
have died and gone on before us. God has given them
eternal life. I saw them as they will be when they
receive their new, glorified bodies after the
Resurrection.
Saints, you will be unbelievably happy in heaven. When I
was in heaven, memories of home were far away. There was
no sadness there, no sorrow, no grief. I was delighted
in the joy of the Lord and awed by His beauty.
There was no darkness in heaven. There was only glory
and might and power every where, especially as you
neared the throne. The River of Life flowed from beneath
the throne; it was beautiful and looked like a sea of
glass:
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as
crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the
Lamb.
(Revelation 22:1)
As I was going, the angel said, "Come and see the glory
of God."
Saints, I was taken at a very fast pace by the angel to
a place where the high praises of God and the music
seemed to grow in intensity and volume. It was the most
beautiful music you would ever want to hear. Sounds of
joy and shouting were everywhere.
The angel of the Lord said, "We are approaching the
throne." I thought, "Oh, God, how glorious, how
beautiful!"
WHEN GOD SPEAKS
When God speaks, it seems that twelve very large angels,
each of them twelve to fifteen feet tall, stand in front
of the throne. How they blow their trumpets!
Beautiful jewels adorn the fronts of their garments.
With music and with all of the things they say and do,
they influence the atmosphere. They seem to prepare the
way for the Lord to speak.
I could see a thick cloud enveloping the mighty throne
when the Lord spoke or pro claimed a message.
And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings,
and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the
throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
(Revelation 4:5)
Then power would billow out from the front of the
throne. In the midst of the throne, God Almighty dwells
in a cloud of glory.
When God spoke, His voice sounded "like many waters"
(Revelation 14:2), but I under stood every word of it.
Once God began to speak about His Son’s blood. He spoke
of how His Son’s blood was shed for all people in the
earth. He said that the blood of Jesus Christ His Son
can cleanse us from all sin (1 John 1:7), and He
extended this invitation:
Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes,
let him take the free gift of the water of life.
(Revelation 22:17 NIV)
God said that His Son’s blood was shed to redeem men and
women from their sins. He said that putting His Son on
the cross to give us eternal life was worth everything,
and that His Son’s blood had paid the price to redeem
us.
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the
forgiveness of sins, ac cording to the riches of His
grace.
(Ephesians 1:7)
whom we have redemption through His blood, the
forgiveness of sins.
(Colossians 1:14)
Jesus Christ. . . loved us and washed us from our sins
in His own blood.
(Revelation 1:5)
When I was in heaven, it was so a thrilling and exciting
to hear the voice of God. Although it was a mighty roar,
the voice of God was pleas ant. I could understand
everything He said.
I kept thinking, "Oh, God, how beautiful You are! You
prepared all things. You made all things for us, Lord!
We cannot even begin to think of the things that You
prepared for us who love You" (1 Corinthians 2:9).
HEAVEN, A REAL PLACE
I remember thinking, "Heaven is real. These people are
real. These angels are real. All of this is beautiful
and real, and someday I am going to inherit this as I
continue to serve the Lord."
Talking about heaven and the splendor of God is a joy to
me. I thank Him with all of my heart for being able to
serve Him. I thank God that Jesus Christ saved my soul
from a wretched hell. I thank God that I am a
born-again, blood- washed child of the King and that
Jesus Christ is my Lord!
If you are not born again, you need to be saved from
your sins. You need to ask Jesus Christ to come into
your heart and save your soul.
Believe that He is the Son of God. Believe that God the
Father sent Him to this earth, that He was born of Mary,
a virgin, and that He is the holy Son of God, sent to
redeem us from hell. Most of all, you need to believe
that Jesus paid the only acceptable sacrifice for your
sins when He died on the cross.
----------------------------------------------------------
WHAT HAPPENS TO CHILDREN
In biblical days Jesus spoke about the little children.
He said, "Let the little children ome to Me, and do not
forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven"
(Matthew 19:14). Jesus also said these things:
Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and
become as little children, you will by no means enter
the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child
is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew
18:3-4)
Jesus also said these things:
Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the
kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter
it.
(Mark 10:15)
Whoever receives one of these little children in My name
receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me
but Him who sent Me.
(Mark 9:37)
Also, in the Old Testament it says,
Tell your children about it, let your children tell
their children, and their children another generation.
(Joel 1:3)
This part of heaven is really going to thrill many
people. Many people have criticized this, but I know
that God showed it to me. It happened during one of my
trips into heaven.
I was with the great angel with mighty rainbow-colored,
triangle-shaped wings. The angel wore a white,
glistening garment, and his hair was like spun gold. His
features were beautiful and glorious. Light and power
were all over him.
He said, "Come and see the glory of God. God has said
that I must show you the place where children go and
what happens to them when they die."
I want to clear up something right now. When the Lord
Jesus showed me hell, I did not see any children at all.
There were no little children or infants in hell that I
can remember.
This may not agree with the theories of other people,
but I am going to tell you what the angel of the Lord
showed me about heaven and hell and the place where
children go.
I was just praising God and traveling with the angel. We
were high in the atmosphere when we stopped and the
angel said, "I must show you these things."
REMEMBERING
When I was with the angel of the Lord, many things
occurred that I do not remember now. I was not allowed
to remember some of them. There were many events that
happened on my trip to heaven-things I was shown but
cannot recall. However, what I am permitted to remember
is enough to motivate me to tell you about heaven!
Daniel had complete understanding of all of his visions
and dreams. However, when the Lord took me into
heaven-oh, my-there was such glory and power! Things
were going on that were not explained to me, and I was
only taken into certain parts of heaven. To me the most
wonderful part was for babies and little children.
UNBORN BABIES
When the angel of God said, "Come and see," he moved his
hand in the air, and a vision of a hospital appeared. I
saw a woman in the labor room, having a child.
The angel of the Lord said to me, "She is having a
miscarriage. The baby is only three months old."
As I took in the scene, two beautiful angels appeared by
her bed. In their hands they held what looked like a
basket made of white marble and pearl. It was the most
beautiful thing I have ever seen. It opened up in the
center and closed on each side.
The angels were praising God. I could hear them. When
the woman had the miscarriage, the baby’s spirit, like a
vapor, arose from that little, teeny baby. The angels of
God caught it, put it in the basket, closed the lid, and
raised their hands toward heaven. The angels began to
shout praises to the Lord. They acclaimed Him and
extolled Him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Creator
of all things in heaven and earth. They shouted, "To God
be the glory!"
As they came past us, they said again, "Come and see."
We went back through the gate into heaven. Oh, my! This
seemed to be the most beautiful part of heaven! I had
not been in this side of heaven or through this
entrance.
I remember going with the angels to a certain place in
heaven. I was accompanied by the angel who had been
escorting me. We went so high up I could see the throne
again, and I could hear the shouts and the praises of
God. This time we seemed to approach from the left side
of the throne.
I remember coming around this way and thinking, "Oh God,
how beautiful You are. How wonderful You are." The high
praises of God and the glory and the shouts were
everywhere.
You know, the Holy Scriptures talk about the angels so
much. Here are some examples:
Bless the LORD, you His angels, who excel in strength,
who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.
(Psalm 103:20)
The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear
Him, and delivers them.
(Psalm 34:7)
And behold, there was a great earth quake; for an angel
of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled
back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His
countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as
white as snow.
(Matthew 28:2-3)
Jesus talked about being carried by the angels to
heaven:
So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the
angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also dies and
was buried.
(Luke 16:22)
ANGELS OF GOD
There are many references to angels in the Word of the
Lord. I was just thinking about how His Word proves
things over and over. But when a revelation is given to
someone, it just sheds more light on it.
My primary calling in God is dreams, visions, and
revelations. My testimony is that I am just a handmaiden
of the Lord, and I just love to tell this story about
the children.
Oh, the glory that we saw and the voices of praise that
we heard! Around the throne were lightning and thunder
and a rainbow. There was an image of a Man inside the
cloud of glory that covered the throne.
The angels set the basket they carried down on the
throne and bowed. Their wing tips went up. Shouts of
"Glory!" and "Hallelujah! and "Praise God!" sounded all
over heaven.
Again it seemed like we were in a huge arena. Large
angels were blowing trumpets as if they were announcing
something.
Now, I did not see God, but I saw the similarity of God
just as Moses did. (See Exodus 33:17-23.) Then I saw a
hand open up the basket. I am sure that it was the image
of God’s hand.
Dear one, I’m telling you, if you could only see the
glory and the power of God just like He revealed it to
me! His power was so dazzling and beautiful and
wonderful!
I saw the hand come out of the cloud and open up the
basket. It took that little soul out of the basket and
laid it on the altar. Then I saw hands begin to work on
this little soul.
When the task was finished and completed, the most
beautiful, perfect form of a human be gan to appear. It
continued to develop until it became the most handsome
young man I have ever seen.
IN GOD’S CARE
There are no defects or marks of sin in heaven. The
Scripture about Adam’s creation came to me. Then the
Lord said, "There are no imperfections in this place.
Everything that was lost by the first Adam was restored
by the second Adam."
It is my firm belief that the only signs of sin in
heaven will be the scars in Jesus’ hands and feet and
side. This will be a reminder for ever and forever that
our blessed Lord paid the price for our redemption.
Then I saw what I perceived to be the top of God’s
head-it looked like wool (Revelation 1:14). A marvelous
transformation took place as God breathed into this
little baby, and it became a fully perfect creation.
The angels began to shout and praise God. As I watched
this mighty manifestation of God’s power, all of the
questions that I have ever had about what happens to
infants and children vanished completely. Now I know
without a doubt that they are in the hands of God, being
made into perfection!
Then the angel and I began to go high, high up the side
of a place in heaven. There were beautiful trees
everywhere with all kinds of fruit on them. I saw
flowers of every description. I could see all kinds of
birds-some we have never seen before. Oh, the beauty of
heaven is indescribable!
We went very high up to another part. I could hear the
shouts of glory. A large angel wearing a long, white
robe stood beside a gate. He was positioned behind a
desk. He picked up a golden book from the desk and
handed it to an other angel.
The angel who received the book opened it, and shafts of
brilliant, sparkling light issued from it and began to
flash. It reminded me of millions of fireworks that were
set off simultaneously.
Then I saw parents and family members as they began to
move around and gravitate to certain individuals. They
began to shout, leap, and jump. I could not understand
what was taking place.
The angel said to me, "These loved ones are recognizing
their family members." Those who had been dismembered,
paralyzed, crippled, or had died prematurely were now in
a state of perfection. They had been made whole!
In heaven, you will know everyone. You will know
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You will know Moses and all
the prophets. You will know all the disciples of the New
Testament.
You will know every person in heaven. You will know just
as God knows you (1 Corinthians 13:12). You will have
very extensive knowledge.
The angels said to me, "Come. You’re going inside this
gate."
It was the most beautiful gate I had seen in heaven. It
was designed like a garden gate with wood around it, but
it was made with what looked like whitish stone or
marble. Beautiful flowers grew all around it.
We went through the gate and witnessed all the wonderful
rejoicing and the reunion of all of God’s family.
A HEAVENLY REUNION
King David knew very well that when little ones die
prematurely for whatever reason, their souls go to
heaven, where believing members of their families will
be reunited with them some day. When his own infant son,
who had been conceived out of wedlock in an adulterous
affair with Bathsheba, died, David sincerely repented of
his sin and was certain that God had forgiven him (Psalm
32:5). Because David found peace in the knowledge that
he would spend eternity with God (see Psalm 23:6) and
that he would see his infant son again (2 Samuel 12:23),
he was able to comfort Bathsheba in her grief.
Here is the biblical account of the incident:
So David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the
LORD.” And Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has put
away your sin; you shall not die. “However, because by
this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies
of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also who is born to
you shall surely die.” David therefore pleaded with God
for the child, and David fasted and went in and lay all
night on the ground. So the elders of his house arose
and went to him, to raise him up from the ground. But he
would not, nor did he eat food with them. Then on the
seventh day it came to pass that the child died.... When
David saw that his servants were whispering, David
perceived that the child was dead. Therefore David said
to his servants, "Is the child dead?" And they said, "He
is dead." So David arose from the ground, washed and
anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went
into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went
to his own house; and when he requested, they set food
before him, and he ate. Then his servants said to him,
"What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept
for the child while he was alive, but when the child
died, you arose and ate food." And he said, "While the
child was alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who can
tell whether the LORD will be gracious to me, that the
child may live?’ "But now he is dead; why should I fast?
Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he
shall not return to me." Then David comforted Bathsheba
his wife.
(2 Samuel 12:13-14, 16-24)
An angel of the Lord said to me, "From the time of
conception, a baby is an eternal soul. If a baby is
aborted or miscarried or somehow dies, God knows about
it. He has given His angels charge over them.
"We bring their little souls to heaven, and God
completes them. It doesn’t matter if a baby has been
aborted or dies naturally. It is fashioned and formed
into perfection by the mighty hand of God.
"If the parents of these children will live righteously
in Christ Jesus, when they come to heaven, they will be
reunited and will know their precious loved ones. They
will meet them at the gates of glory!"
----------------------------------------------------------
WORSHIPING AROUND THE THROWN
Now, I praise God for the opportunity to put my vision
of heaven in a book. It burns in my heart continually.
Many people have encouraged me to write down this
testimony and share the vision of heaven that God has
given to me.
I have shared the heavenly vision, as well as my
experiences of hell, in many churches where I have
ministered.
I want to share with you some other scenes I saw in
heaven. I want you to know that heaven is real. If you
have lost a loved one, someone who has gone on before
you to heaven, that per son will meet you at the gates
of glory. I want to encourage your heart, because we
have a blessed hope in Jesus Christ. He has gone to
heaven to prepare a place for us there.
The angels I saw in heaven seemed to be very large and
mighty! They wore glistening, shimmering robes that
radiated huge amounts of light. They were powerful and
sincere. They had their minds set to obey God. It was
obvious to me that the mighty angels I saw at each gate
of pearl were protecting angels.
As I saw the swords by the angels’ sides, I thought,
"Well, glory to God! Hallelujah! God surely does protect
His children."
THE ANGELS OF GOD
You know, the Bible talks about angels so much, with
many passages referring to angels. It is amazing that
sometimes we tend to overlook things that God’s Word
proves over and over. When a revelation is given to
someone, however, this seems to shed more light on the
subject.
Here are some more examples of what the Bible says about
angels:
For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep
you in all your ways. their hands they shall bear you
up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
(Psalm 91:11-12)
The LORD, before whom I walk, will send His angel with
you and prosper your way.
(Genesis 24:40)
I saw still another mighty angel coming down from
heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his
head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like
pillars of fire.
(Revelation 10:1)
After these things I saw another angel coming down from
heaven, having great authority, and the earth was
illuminated with his glory.
(Revelation 18:1)
For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor
are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
(Mark 12:25)
Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening
Him.
(Luke 22:43)
Are not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister
for those who will inherit salvation?
(Hebrews 1:14)
Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of
the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
(Luke 15:10)
Again I was allowed to enter through the gate of heaven,
and I remember I was over whelmed with feeling the peace
and joy that are there. Oh, the glorious singing and the
praises! Saints, I don’t think anybody could describe it
very well, because earth has never felt a peace such as
this. Since Eden, earth has never experienced the peace,
the joy, and the rest that are in heaven.
In heaven there is no sickness. In heaven there are no
wheelchairs. In heaven there are no disabilities. In
heaven there are no diseases. All is perfect and
beautiful. There is no corruption. There are no lies.
There is no sin, because God will not allow one sin to
enter the gates of heaven.
THE GRAND SPECTACULAR
With the angel guiding me, we moved very quickly. We
passed many fruit trees that grew beside the River of
Life. Every one of them was loaded with beautiful fruit.
As we moved along, it seemed that we be came part of the
music. At all times in heaven, I heard music, and it was
always new. I heard continuous musical praises being
lifted in honor and praise to God.
The angel of God said to me, "We are going before the
throne to see the worship of God." Along the way, it
seemed like hundreds of people were coming from all over
heaven. They were going to worship the King of Kings and
the Lord of Lords.
WORSHIP IN HEAVEN
As we moved along, it seemed as if the hundreds turned
into thousands, and the thou sands into an innumerable
host. They appeared from different parts of heaven.
Apparently we went to the large arena-type area that
John de scribed:
Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne
set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. He who sat
there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in
appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne,
in appearance like an emerald. Around the throne were
twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw
twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and
they had crowns of gold on their heads. And from the
throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices.
Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne,
which are the seven Spirits of God. The twenty-four
elders fall down be fore Him who sits on the throne and
worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their
crowns before the throne, saying: "You are worthy, 0
Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You
created all things, and by Your will they exist and were
created."
(Revelation 4:2-5, 10-11)
And the clouds! The most beautiful clouds were billowing
in and out around the throne. Shaped almost like the
mushroom cloud of an atomic explosion, each cloud was
mixed with glory and beautiful colors.
A dazzling rainbow arched above all of this. It is
impossible to imagine the intensity of the power of God.
I knew in my heart that the image of the man that I saw
in the clouds was the representation of God.
Thousands of years ago, God wanted to make a man in His
image, and He did it.
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God
He created him; male and female He created them.
(Genesis 1:27)
God literally took the dirt from the ground and made a
man. Think about the power of God that must have been
present:
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and
man became a living being.
(Genesis 2:7)
Then, because Adam was alone-"But for Adam there was not
found a helper comparable to him" (Genesis 2:20)-God put
him into a deep sleep. God opened up Adam’s side,
removed one of Adam’s ribs, and fashioned a woman from
it. God formed Eve, Adam’s lifelong companion and mate,
who was also made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27). What
glory was given to human beings to be made in God’s
image!
PREPARE FOR THE KING
The testimonies of heavenly worship show the beauty and
the holiness of God. As we ar rived at the place of
assembly, I could see people and angels everywhere. I
was impressed that everything was done in order.
Everywhere, people and angels praised God.
The River of Life flowed forth from the throne of God.
It was like a sea of glass, like a sea of crystal, but
it was flowing.
Then, saints, again I saw horses. The big, white,
magnificent horses looked as though they were made out
of marble. They were beautiful and without a single flaw
in any of them. They were elegant, like chess pieces,
but they were physically real. The white blankets on the
horses’ backs were neatly trimmed with gold edging.
Golden reins were in their mouths. They had ornaments on
their feet and even on the brush of their tails. These
horses stood alert before the throne.
I noticed that the twelve angels standing before the
throne had trumpets and musical horns by their sides.
Their flowing, glowing garments were trimmed with gold
and embedded with big rubies and all kinds of immense
stones.
Suddenly, I saw many musical instruments. They were the
most spectacular instruments you could ever imagine
seeing. Oh, the beauty of heaven! There were many harps.
I looked to see who was stationed at these musical
instruments.
I thought, "Oh, glory to God! Hallelujah!"
CALL TO WORSHIP
Then, saints, the Holy Spirit very clearly showed me
something. The woman who was in the center of the group
of horses stood still. Then the angels in front of the
throne, each one in order, picked up the trumpet or horn
by his side and began to blow. When they blew these
horns-oh, the sounds of joy and high praise that went
up! Someone in heaven loudly proclaimed:
It is now time to worship the King of Kings and the Lord
of Lords for His glorious acts and His glorious power
unto the people of the earth.
It is time to give Him high praise, to worship Him in
the song and the dance, to worship Him with music, and
to worship Him for His goodness.
He is God. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He is
the Redeemer of mankind.
As they announced these things, saints, the trumpets
were sounding! Then the angel who was reading the scroll
stopped, and a signal was given.
Immediately, those magnificent horses all bowed their
knees. Their heads went down all in a row in praise to
the name of the Lord:
At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in
heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the
earth.
(Philippians 2:10)
Every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and
under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that
are in them, I heard saying. "Blessing and honor and
glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to
the Lamb, forever and ever!"
(Revelation 5:13)
The horses then began to spin and prance before the
Lord. They did all kinds of things to magnify and praise
and worship God. Oh, if only you could have seen it! And
God was pleased with their worship unto Him.
MOTIVATION TO PRAISE
Saints, I don’t think we realize how much God loves our
praises. When we are going through trials, heartaches,
and sorrows, God wants us to praise Him. We are to
praise Him, not because of the sorrows or the trials,
but be cause we love Him.
When we worship Him, we seem to do so for His sake, not
for our own. As we praise Him for the mighty things He
has done for us, we shift our focus from ourselves to
God. In the process of entering into worship, we come to
realize that He is the One who can solve the problems we
are facing, and we can trust Him to come to our aid. So,
we actually benefit when we truly praise and worship the
Lord.
ACCOLADES OF PRAISE
At that time, all the heavenly musicians began to play,
and another group of worshippers came in. Thousands of
voices sang in honor and praise to Jesus. The sounds of
glorious shouting went up. There was ringing all over
heaven. For hours, it seemed, praises rang out to God!
How beautiful it is to hear and to be in the midst of
praises to God! There, in the center of the resonating,
magnificent sounds, the earth seemed so far away to me.
Sorrows and troubles seemed so far away. The horrors of
hell seemed so far away.
MY ASSIGNMENT FROM GOD
However, I knew within myself that I had something to do
for God. The angel of God touched me, and strength came
into me.
He said to me, "Child, God has allowed you to see these
things so that you can tell them and can record them.
Revelations and visions and dreams are given to you to
let the people on earth know ‘the things which God has
prepared for those.. . who love Him and keep His
commandments" (1 Corinthians 2:9; Deuteronomy 7:9).
Then, saints, I heard God’s voice! Just the sound of His
voice filled me with ecstasy. It sounded like thunder,
but I could understand what He was saying.
I fell on my face and began to worship and praise the
King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
HEAVENLY SCRIPTURES
When I returned to the earth and began to ponder the
many wonderful things God had shown me, I looked in the
Word of God. It seemed that everywhere I turned, I was
reading something about heaven and God’s majesty.
I want to share a few of those Scripture verses with
you:
You alone are the LORD; You have made heaven, the heaven
of heavens, with all their host, the earth and every
thing on it, the seas and all that is in them, and You
preserve them all. The host of heaven worships You.
(Nehemiah 9:6)
Is not God in the height of heaven?...
"Thick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see, and He
walks above the circle of heaven."
(Job 22:12, 14)
For He looked down from the height of His sanctuary;
from heaven the LORD viewed the earth.
(Psalm 102:19)
The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His
kingdom rules over all.
(Psalm 103:19)
Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone
is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.
(Psalm 148:13)
But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the
living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable
company of angels.
(Hebrews 12:22)
----------------------------------------------------------
HOLY CREATURES IN HEAVEN
This is a true account of an experience that happened to
me. Once again, the angel of the Lord came to me and
said, "Behold the glory of your God."
I was taken up instantly into the heaven lies and
through one of the gates into heaven. Each gate was made
of an exquisite pearl, with designs in it. The beauty of
heaven is stunning! We passed the River of Life, and I
could hear people shouting on the banks of the river and
praising God. I was taken before the throne of God as it
is described in the fourth chapter of Revelation. Oh,
what shouts and what worship!
Saints, I saw the throne of God just like Holy Scripture
says. It has a rainbow around it. It is overshadowed
with the cloud of glory and the brilliance of the power
of God. I heard voices, saw lightning, and heard
thunder. I saw the divine manifestations of the power of
God!
And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings,
and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the
throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. Before the
throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in
the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were
four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.
(Revelation 4:5-6)
As I looked, I heard the multiplied voices of many
angels around the throne. The number of angels there was
inestimable. Then I saw the heavenly creatures and the
elders. There were four of the heavenly creatures and
twenty-four elders. This scene was also described by
John in Revelation:
Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels
around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders;
and the number of them was ten thousand times ten
thousand, and thousands of thousands.
(Revelation 5:11)
All the angels stood around the throne and the elders
and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces
be fore the throne and worshiped God.
(Revelation 7:11)
THE LIVING CREATURES
On this particular trip to the throne of God, I saw the
four living creatures that were before the throne of
God. These creatures I saw around the throne were the
ones written about in the Word of God.
All of the heavenly creatures had large eyes, some in
the front and some in the back. They could see in the
front of them and behind them. They were very large and
unlike anything I have ever seen on earth.
Each of them had six wings. One had the face of a lion.
The second had a face like a calf.
The third living creature had a face like a man.
Imagine, if you can, a very tall creature with six
wings. It has the face of a man. The fourth living
creature was like a flying eagle.
All of these fascinating creatures were constantly
crying out, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty."
Since I had never before seen any creature that
resembled them in appearance, they looked very strange
to me. I knew, however, that God had created these holy
creatures in heaven. I praise God for His mighty acts
and His mighty power. God is an awesome God! As I
watched these creatures, they began to praise and wor
ship God Almighty.
I want you to understand that after I saw the heavenly
creatures of God in my vision, I made a study about them
and discovered John’s amazing description of what I had
witnessed in the book of Revelation. Here is how John de
scribed them:
Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like
crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the
throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front
and in back. The first living creature was like a lion,
the second living creature like a calf, the third living
creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living
creature was like a flying eagle. The four living
creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes
around and within. And they do not rest day or night,
saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was
and is and is to come!"
(Revelation 4:6-8)
THE DUTIES OF THE LIVING CREATURES
The Bible tells us about these living creatures and
their duties. They continuously give God praise and
honor. Along with the twenty- four elders, worshipping
the Lord is their main occupation:
The four living creatures. . . do not rest day or night,
saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was
and is and is to come!" Whenever the living creatures
give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the
throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four
elders fall down be fore Him who sits on the throne and
worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their
crowns before the throne, saying: "You are worthy, O
Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You
created all things, and by Your will they exist and were
created."
(Revelation 4:8-11)
And they [ four living creatures and the twenty-four
elders] sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the
scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased men for God from every
tribe and language and people and nation. "You have made
them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and
they will reign on the earth."
(Revelation 5:9-10 NIV)
Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels
around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders;
and the number of them was ten thousand times ten
thousand, and thousands of thou sands, saying with a
loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive
power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and
glory and blessing!" every creature which is in heaven
and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in
the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
"Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who
sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!"
Then the four living creatures said, "Amen!" And the
twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives
forever and ever.
(Revelation 5:11-14)
All the angels stood around the throne and the elders
and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces
be fore the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying: "Amen!
Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor
and power and might, be to our God forever and ever.
Amen."
(Revelation 7:11-12)
And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures
fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne,
saying, "Amen! Alleluia!" Then a voice came from the
throne, saying, "Praise our God, all you His servants
and those who fear Him, both small and great!" And I
heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as
the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty
thunderings, saying, "Alleluia! For the Lord God
Omnipotent reigns!"
(Revelation 19:4-6)
Other duties of the living creatures are also described
in Revelation:
when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures
and the twenty- four elders fell down before the Lamb,
each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense,
which are the prayers of the saints.
(Revelation 5:8)
Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I
heard one of the four living creatures saying with a
voice like thunder, "Come and see."
(Revelation 6:1)
And out of the temple came the seven angels having the
seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen, and having
their chests girded with golden bands. Then one of the
four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven
golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever
and ever. The temple was filled with smoke from the
glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to
enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven
angels were completed.
(Revelation 15:6-8)
I saw an innumerable multitude of angels as they began
to worship the Lord. I heard and experienced the
unforgettable scene as the elders around the throne
joined in. I, too, joined in worshipping the King, as I
thought, "Oh, how glorious to see the power of Almighty
God!"
----------------------------------------------------------
THE GLORIES OF HEAVEN
W hen 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 an gels 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 an gel would read the report, and the
recording an gel 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!
----------------------------------------------------------
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 de light 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 de sire 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.
----------------------------------------------------------
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 yester day? 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 an gels 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 always gives
it. He loves to help us as we keep His commandments and
serve Him.
----------------------------------------------------------
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, hysterical 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 tender ness 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 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 re store 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 thou sand
years, I will reign over the earth from Jerusalem. When
the Millennium is past, Sa tan 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.

The Return Of Christ
In another vision, I saw the coming of the Lord! I heard
His call like the sound of a
trumpet and the voice of an archangel (1 Thessalonians
4:16). The whole earth shook, and out of the graves came
the righteous dead to meet their Lord in the air.
For what seemed like hours, I heard the trumpets
blaring. The earth and the sea gave up their dead
(Revelation 20:13). The Lord Jesus Christ stood atop the
clouds in vestments of fire and beheld the glorious
scene. I heard the sound of trumpets again. As I
watched, those who were alive and remained on the earth
ascended to meet them:
If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so
God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For
this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who
are alive and re main until the coming of the Lord will
by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord
Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the
voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And
the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are
alive and remain shall be caught up together with them
in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we
shall always be with the Lord.
(1 Thessalonians 4:14-17)
I saw the redeemed, as millions of points of light,
converging on a gathering place in the sky. There the
angels gave them robes of purest white. There was great
rejoicing. It was the angels’ responsibility to serve,
and they were everywhere, giving special attention to
the risen ones. New glorified bodies were given to the
redeemed, and they were trans formed as they passed
through the air.
Great joy and happiness filled the heavens and the
angels sang, "Glory to the King of Kings!"
THE BODY OF CHRIST
In this vision, I beheld a large spiritual body high in
the heavens. It was the body of Christ, which was lying
on its back while blood dripped to the earth. I knew
this represented our Lord’s slain body. The body grew
larger and larger until it encompassed the heavens.
Going into it were millions of redeemed saints.
I watched in astonishment as millions climbed up a
staircase to the body and filled it, beginning with the
feet and continuing through the legs, the arms, the
stomach, the heart, and the head.
When it was full, I saw that it was filled with people
from all corners of the earth. With a mighty voice they
praised the Lord:
And they sang a new song, saying:
"You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its
seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God
by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people
and nation, "and have made us kings and priests to our
God; and we shall reign on the earth."
(Revelation 5:9-10)
Millions were gathered before the throne, and I saw
angels as they brought the books from which judgment was
read. There was the mercy seat, and rewards were given
to many.
Then, as I watched in astonishment, dark ness covered
the face of the earth, and demon forces went everywhere.
Countless evil spirits had been loosed from their prison
and spilled forth onto the earth. I heard another loud
voice saying,
Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the
devil has come down to you, having great wrath, be cause
he knows that he has a short time.
(Revelation 12:12)
THE WRATH OF GOD
I saw an angry beast, and he poured out his venom upon
all the earth. Hell shook in his fury, and from a
bottomless pit came swarming hordes of evil creatures to
blacken the earth with their vast numbers.
Men and women ran crying into the hills, the caves, and
the mountains. And there were wars upon the earth, and
famine and death. At last I saw horses and chariots of
fire in the heavens. The earth trembled, while "the sun
became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became
like blood" (Revelation 6:12).
An angel announced, "Hear, 0 earth, the King is coming!"
Then the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords appeared in
the sky. With Him in glorious splendor were the saints
of all ages, clad in purest white. I remembered that
"every eye will see Him" (Revelation 1:7) and that
"every knee shall bow.. .and every tongue shall confess"
(Romans 14:11) that He is Lord.
Then the angels put in their sickles and harvested the
ripened grain (see Revelation 14:14-19), which is the
end of the world.
I thought, "We must love one another. We must be firm in
the truth and correct our children in the light of the
soon coming of Christ. For surely, the King is coming!"
----------------------------------------------------------
The Lord's Final Plea: Be Ready
Jesus said to me, "Repent and be saved, for the )
kingdom of God is at hand. My will and My Word will be
performed. Prepare the way of the Lord." Then He
declared:
"Command those who are rich in this present age not to
be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the
living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy"
(1 Timothy 6:17).
Tell them to walk in the Spirit, and they will not
fulfill the lust of the flesh
(Galatians 5:16).
"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a
man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his
flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows
to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life"
(Galatians 6:7-8).
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are:
adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry,
sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of
wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy,
murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which
I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time
past, that those who practice such things will not
inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit
is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such
there is no law. And those who are Christ's, have
crucified the flesh with its passions and desires"
(Galatians 5:19-24).
Jesus continued:
When the Word of God is fulfilled, then the end will
come. No man knows the day or the hour when the Son of
God will return to the earth. Not even the Son knows,
for that is known only by the Father. The Word is
quickly being fulfilled. Come as a little child, and let
Me cleanse you from the works of the flesh. Say to Me,
"Lord Jesus, come into my heart and forgive me of my
sins. I know that I am a sinner, and I repent of my
sins. Wash me in Your blood, and make me clean. I have
sinned against heaven and before You and am not worthy
to be called a son. I receive You by faith as my
Savior." I will give you pastors after My own heart, and
I will be your Shepherd. You will be My people, and I
will be your God. Read the Word, and do not for sake the
assembling of yourselves together. Give your whole life
to Me, and I will keep you. I will never leave or
forsake you.
BE READY TO MEET GOD
Dear ones, from the depths of my heart, I have shared
with you many of the visions and revelations of heaven
that were given to me by the power of God Almighty. I
want to sum up my thoughts by expressing how much God
loves us. He has shown His care and great love by
sending forth His mighty Word to us and granting us
revelations in these last days.
Dear children, we must be ready to meet the Lord. We
must at all times be looking for His coming. You and I
know the troubles, the times, and the season we are in.
There has never been an era like this.
With all my heart I urge you to be ready, "for you know
neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is
coming" (Matthew 25:13). Jesus Christ is coming back!
Do you remember how I talked about the saints who are
now in heaven? The angel of God told me that if we live
righteously in Christ Jesus, we will meet our loved ones
at the gates of glory as we go in.
Are you receiving this beautiful message in your heart?
I talked about the books and records that the angels
keep. Everything we do for Jesus’ sake is recorded, and
our rewards are going to be much greater in heaven than
they are on the earth. Angels write down our deeds.
Many times evangelists, preachers, teachers, and other
leaders have to temporarily leave homes, children, and
spouses to carry the cross for Jesus Christ. The Lord
sees this, and He knows all about it.
He also knows about the many times we go somewhere and
are not treated like children of the Lord. Sometimes we
are mistreated, but we are still the King’s kids.
Still, God wants us to be servants to servants. He wants
us to serve one another as He served us.
Saints, God didn’t promise us a rose gar den. Although
He didn’t promise us splendor down here, we can have
blessings, riches, honor, and material things as God
permits. However, we can have them as we take up our
crosses and follow Christ.
I want you to be ready. If you have never received Jesus
Christ as your Lord and Savior, you can be saved,
according to the Holy Scriptures:
For God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that who ever believes in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life.
(John 3:16)
If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and
believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the
dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes
unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation. Whoever calls on the name of the
LORD shall be saved.
(Romans 10:9-10, 13)
Please pray this prayer right now:
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I come unto You,
just as I am. I am a sinner, Lord. I have sinned against
You and against heaven. I ask You, Lord Jesus, to
forgive me and to come into my heart and save my soul.
Let me be born again by the Spirit of the Living God.
I give my life to You, Lord Jesus. I do believe that You
are the Son of God. I believe You are Jesus Christ who
was sent to save my soul from hell. I give You thanks
and praise and honor for redeeming me by Your precious
blood. If you have prayed this prayer with me and really
believed what you prayed, you are now saved. You have
asked Jesus Christ into your heart. Begin to confess Him
with your lips and praise Him.
To God be all praise and honor!

About the Author
Mary Kathryn Baxter was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
She was brought up in the house of God. While she was
still young, her mother taught her about Jesus Christ
and His salvation.
Kathryn was born again at the age of nine teen. After
serving the Lord for several years, she backslid for a
season. The Spirit of the Lord would not release her,
and she came back and gave her life anew to Christ. She
still serves Him faithfully.
In the mid-1960s Kathryn moved with her family to
Detroit, Michigan, where she lived for a time. She later
moved to Belleville, Michigan, where she began to have
visions from God.
Ministers, leaders, and saints of the Lord speak very
highly of her and her ministry. The movement of the Holy
Spirit is emphasized in all her services, and many
miracles have occurred in them. The gifts of the Holy
Spirit with demonstrations of power are manifested in
her meetings as she is led by the Spirit of God. She
loves the Lord with all her heart, mind, soul, and
strength and desires above all else to be a soulwinner
for Jesus Christ.
She is truly a dedicated handmaiden of the Lord. Her
calling is specifically in the area of dreams, visions,
and revelations. She was ordained as a minister in 1983
at the Full Gospel Church of God in Taylor, Michigan.
She now ministers with the National Church of God in
Washington, D.C.
In 1976, while she was living in Belleville, Jesus
appeared to her in human form, in dreams, in visions,
and in revelations. Since that time she has received
many visitations from the Lord. During those visits He
has shown her the depths, degrees, levels, and torments
of lost souls in hell. She has also received many
visions of heaven, the Great Tribulation, and the end of
time.
During one period of her life, Jesus appeared to her
each night for forty nights. He revealed to her the
horrors of hell and the glories of heaven. He told her
that this message is for the whole world.
We as children of God have been transformed and made new
by the miracle of regeneration.
