Elisabeth recounts a 40-day spiritual experience in which she says Jesus took her through visions of hell and heaven and taught her about repentance, salvation, holiness, spiritual warfare, and the coming return of Christ. She describes frightening scenes of hell, including people experiencing punishment for different forms of sin, while repeatedly receiving the warning that people must turn to God while they are still alive. She then describes heavenly places, the glory of Christ, homes prepared for God's children, the Book of Life and records of people's earthly lives, as well as various heavenly warehouses representing God's provision and spiritual resources. Throughout the experience, she receives messages concerning obedience, genuine faith, spiritual maturity, prayer, Scripture, helping others, rejecting worldly and occult influences, and remaining faithful to Christ. Overall, the testimony presents a serious call to repentance, perseverance, holiness, prayer, and readiness for the return of Jesus Christ, while the supernatural experiences themselves should be understood as Elisabeth's personal testimony and compared carefully with Scripture. Amen.
40 DAYS WITH JESUS IN HEAVEN AND HELL

Shalom ... Greetings of peace in the love of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. My name is Elisabeth Widyawati Herman. I was born in 1981 in Semarang. When I was 20 years old, I experienced something extraordinary, I was allowed by the LORD Jesus to meet with Him and be given the opportunity to see heaven and hell. At the time of experiencing this event, I was living together with my mother and my two younger brothers in Semarang. We live in simplicity, and to help ends meet, I worked alongside my study at University/College. After college, I would work part time at a small company and would also give tutoring lessons to elementary school children. My father had passed away when I was 17 years old. Although we lived in simplicity, we lived in joy.
I was not a model student even though my grades were above average. I was not famous, either in the campus, in my neighborhood or in the church, just an ordinary person. Somehow God chose ordinary me to experience an extraordinary event. Truly, this is only due to His grace. I can only give thanks to the LORD Jesus Christ, who by His grace allowed me to undergo a very important mission namely, to deliver God's message for the salvation of mankind, His most noble creation. Many messages of God are delivered so that people are kept away from the eternal fires of hell. God wants us all to be saved and to live together with Him in the glorious Heaven. I have shared this experience through YouTube and testimonies in churches both in my hometown and in other cities such as Jakarta, Bandung, Mojokerto, Surabaya, Medan, Banjarmasin, etc; also through a joint testimony book titled "Heaven and Hell".
At the time this book was made, although ten years later from this event, I prayed that I would be reminded of the details. Again, God gave His mercy. I was shown back day after day, so I was able to write down all in detail. Blessed be the name of the LORD Jesus Christ. May this book be a blessing to us all and a reminder for us to live focused on the LORD Jesus Christ. GOD BLESS -August 2001
My Friend's Event (Speaking in Tongues)
.... "How could you do that ??? ..." That was the first thing that came to my mind. It looked strange, unusual, and sounded a bit confusing. Those were the thoughts that continued in my mind. My friend, Maria, had started praying in tongues and could not stop, and that continued for several days.
The incident began at a youth prayer event at the church that I used to attend. That was one event that I could not forget: a friend of mine spoke in tongues and couldn’t stop. The event shocked the people present at the time. Personally, I thought it was strange and asked the LORD JESUS, "LORD, how could someone speak in tongues and cannot stop like that?" People who saw the incident had the same thought. Besides thinking it was strange, I actually didn't believe it and thought it was a bit much. Definitely, it was no ordinary thing.
Day 1
Something strange happened to me. A week later, something unexpected happened. At that time, my friends and I held an intercession prayer at the church for young people, for the church, and for Indonesia. As usual, we praised and worshipped the LORD, we all spoke in tongues, truly we felt His presence and touch. It turned out that this was the beginning of my journey with God to heaven and hell. After the intercessory prayer was over, all who prayed stopped speaking in tongues, except for me. I was surprised because the Holy Spirit still controlled me so that my heart churned, and my tongue could not stop speaking in tongues. I tried to stop the tongues, but my efforts were in vain because the spirit of the LORD was strong over me that I could not stop.
After praying, we discussed what each one received from God in prayer. But I was silent and all I could do was smile when my friends asked me what I got from God in prayer (because whenever Elisabeth tried talking, she would break out in tongues). In my heart, I asked the LORD, "O’LORD, why can't I stop speaking in tongues?" It was then that I realized I was experiencing the same thing as Maria.
Before returning home, using sign language, I asked the church members to pray for me so that I would stop speaking in tongues. But, I could not stop speaking in tongues. Finally, using sign language again, I asked a personal friend of mine to pray for me to stop speaking in tongues, but still I couldn't stop speaking in tongues. Ooh no ...
So, my friend escorted me home. In the middle of the journey my heart felt sad, confused, and I cried. I did not understand why this has happened to me. When I got home, my mother was confused and was panicking about my situation of not being able to speak Indonesian. My friend explained to my mother that this was a process from God. Even though my heart was upset, I tried to join in explaining to my mother by writing on a piece of paper: "Calm down Mum, this is all a process from God." So, my mum became calm.
My First Meeting with The LORD JESUS
I could not sleep because I still could not believe what was happening to me. I couldn't imagine how tomorrow would go in college and at work. At my study desk, I sat with my head on the table. I cried, sad and confused; I did not know what to do. It all felt very stressful. When I was in extreme sadness, suddenly a hand touched my shoulder and called my name,
"Elisabeth"
A very soft, but firm voice was heard clearly in my ears. I was very surprised, my heart was beating fast. I kept my head down, but slowly I glanced and looked a little to the left. I saw a long white robe draped to the floor. I almost ran into my bedroom scared because I thought it was a ghost. My heart beat faster. The voice came back speaking beside me,
"Elisabeth ... It is I, don't be afraid."
Shortly after hearing this soft voice, I turned my gaze towards the books and tried little by little to look back to my left side. To my surprise, a hand suddenly appeared placed on my desk right next to my hand. The hand had a hole in the wrist, between the palm and the artery. The hole was quite large ... While I looked at HIS hand, the soft voice came again,
"Do not be afraid my dear child, it is I, The LORD JESUS, whom you have been worshipping. It is I, hold my hand. I AM real.”
I slowly held HIS hand, the hand was physical and tangible, not Spirit-like. Really ... the hand with the hole was real! I put my index finger in the hole of His hand, as if I could not believe that it was the LORD JESUS. I also saw the holes on the feet of the LORD JESUS.
The LORD JESUS wore golden brown sandals like a Roman soldier. This was really real ... I saw His robe also and I slowly held it. Then I raised my head and saw the face of the LORD JESUS. It was truly like a dream. HIS soft and firm face looked at me and smiled. When I looked at HIM, my body felt weak as if my bones were loose. Strangely my heart felt peaceful, there was joy that overflowed. The LORD JESUS caressed my head, like a father loves his child,
"Don't be afraid MY child, what you are experiencing is MY will, all from ME."
I nodded my head and answered softly, "Yes, LORD ... but what will happen to all the activities and responsibilities that I have to do? I have to go to college and work."
"Do not be afraid MY dear, I AM the One who arranges everything, I AM with you." said the LORD while hugging me.
I nodded my head "O’LORD .. I want to", I said softly while shedding tears. All the words of the LORD were heard clearly in my ears. After that, the LORD disappeared.
I was holding my mouth while saying to myself, "I felt that when I spoke with the LORD JESUS I could speak in Indonesian." But apparently not ... tongues was still my language. It appeared that I was expressing my heart in Indonesian, so it seemed like I was communicating with God in Indonesian. It was then that I understood that when we pray in tongues, only God and our spirit understand. Nobody else understands, not even angels, let alone devils. After this incident, I felt tired and then rested.
Day 2: God Arranges and Provides
When I woke up in the morning, I felt thirsty and wanted to drink water. How surprised I was when I drank, the water could not be swallowed, like there was a membrane in my throat. The water came back out. I couldn't eat or drink. I then remembered the message of the LORD JESUS last night, so I decided to surrender and submit myself to Him. This was a process from God, I reminded myself. After that I got ready for college and, as usual, I walked from home to take public transport.
I was perplexed at how I was going to take public transport. How could I communicate with the driver to stop at where I want to get off? I became increasingly perplexed at the situation because every public transport that I wanted to board was full. But God kept HIS promise, HE arranged everything. Another public transport came and I got a seat right behind the driver so that when I needed to get off I didn't need to talk, I just gave a pat on the driver's shoulder for him to stop. Both going to and returning from college, there was always an empty seat for me, right behind the driver. Similarly, in college I was perplexed about how to communicate with friends. When they spoke to me, I just nodded or shook my head as if mumbling something or just smiled. My tongue felt numb. My friends would ask, "Is your mouth sore with ulcers?" or they would say, "Maybe you're stressed .. you’re just smiling and not talking”, and so on.
Inside, I was annoyed, exasperated, there was also a sense of rebellion in my heart that wanted to shout to tell them, "Hey everyone ... God is putting me through a process!!" But I could not do that. I just accepted it. Even my closest friend who lived in the same housing complex as me said, "What's wrong with you? ... You’re weird ... because all you do is shake or nod your head, mutter or just smile." Yet each time I was judged like this, I just surrendered myself to God.
In the lecture hall I always sit at the front, and often the lecturer would ask me questions, but this time he did not. After finishing college, the lecturer would also often ask me to carry his books and papers to the lecturer room, but not this time either. I studied in building A, floors 1 and 2, building C floors 3 and 5, depending on the lecturer. Every building had an elevator, but it was often full or not functioning. So, I mostly walked up and down the stairs even to the 5th floor. In ordinary circumstances it would have been quite tiring, and this felt especially taxing for me since I was unable to eat and drink. However, God gave me strength. Praise be to God.
THE VISIT TO HELL
In the evening I prayed at church with the prayer team. While praying, I felt my physical body being in church, but my spiritual body was in a dark place and I heard crying and screaming. Right in front of me was a dark gate. The door opened by itself. To the touch, it felt sticky like phlegm and of the color blackish green. When I entered, there were huge pillars, also blackish green and sticky like mucus. The road that I walked on was like mud, slimy and not very wide. On the left side of the road, there is a vast sea of fire. Millions of people were in it. On the right, there was a vast sea of worms with millions of people in it.
I was surprised why I was in this place. Where was this? I was scared and confused. My fear vanished when the LORD JESUS came beside me.
The LORD JESUS was robed in white, wearing sandals like a Roman soldier, His hands and feet had holes, His face was tender and loving, and His hair was slightly wavy golden brown. HE held my hand. I also wore a white robe and sandals resembling those worn by the LORD JESUS. In the spiritual body, I was 12 years old while in the physical, I was 20 years old. Around the place was very scary. Many demons walked around of various forms: some were big, some were the size of ordinary people, some were female and some were male in various forms that were very scary, some had bodies full boils, some had a horn behind the head, some had two horns, and so on.
Even though the evil spirits walked around me, they could not touch me because my whole body was enveloped in the light of the glory of the LORD. And there was also the LORD JESUS beside me. That's why even though I felt the heat, the fire couldn't burn me. After seeing the area, my spiritual body returned to the church.
Day 3
Today I worked on campus from morning to evening. I used public transport going to and from college. GOD reorganized everything so well and perfectly, including my time in the lecture hall until I arrived back at home. Around 19:00 my pastor/overseer called. He was Rev. Harun Wiyanto, Shepherd of GBI Pagaden Subang, West Java. He was also the Trustee of the Golden Lamp Ministry (GLM), based in Jakarta. I considered him as my big brother. Ps. Harun asked my mother about my situation, then he prayed for me. He also said that on the same day I first spoke in tongues and could not stop, there were 3 fellow Golden Lamp Ministry in Jakarta who also experienced the same thing. The only difference was that they stopped speaking in tongues that same day, whereas I didn't. After he prayed for me, it turned out that he also received the same message from God that I must carry out this process for 40 days.
Day 4: The Gates of Hell
In the evening, I prayed with the church prayer team. God brought my spiritual body to a different place from the place I saw yesterday. The LORD and I stood before a large bronze colored gate, shining brightly. With curiosity I touched the door and wanted to enter it, but the LORD JESUS wanted to show me something else. He showed me the place below, the place where the day before I had visited. The LORD JESUS said that the place was Hell. I saw, from above, that the place was shaped like a human body with arms outstretched while the legs were straight together, it was just like the LORD JESUS on the cross. The LORD JESUS was crucified for everyone so that no one would enter Hell. After I saw that, my eyes returned to the big gate in front of me. I was curious about what was behind the gate, and wanted to enter it, but the LORD JESUS took me back to Hell.
I entered the door that looked like a mouth. I heard the LORD say, "Therefore, be careful with your words, because with your mouth you can praise the LORD, with your mouth you can also speak dirty words and blaspheme the LORD."
(James 3:9-12:9 With the tongue we praise our LORD and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.)
I entered the place which, when viewed from above, was like the head and neck. I walked to look at the left side; there was a sea of fire there. On the right was a sea of worms. In the two seas there were millions of people; they cried, reeling in pain and shouted for the LORD JESUS. I looked to the left. There were millions of people who wore white, yellow, etc. I tried to get closer to the edge of the lake of fire. Many of them moaned crying, "Forgive me LORD JESUS, I want to believe in YOU." I also begged the LORD JESUS, that the LORD JESUS would forgive them. They were from various nationalities. They were black, white, red, yellow, brown. But the LORD JESUS only answered, "It is too late, when you were in the world you were given the opportunity to believe in ME and repent, but you did not take the opportunity."
So, if we live until now it means that there is an opportunity from the LORD JESUS to repent and believe in HIM. Do not let us waste the opportunity. Millions of people in the sea of fire were burned from toe to head. Like a melting candle, they were burned to the ground but then their bodies grew back again as they were before, then the fire burned them again until they melted. This happened continuously, repeatedly, there was no stopping. The fire is eternal. This lake of fire is specifically for those who do not believe in the LORD JESUS.
(Revelation 20:14-15:14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:8:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.)
On the right, there were millions of worms eating away at millions of people. As soon as one worm bit a human, blood flowed out of the body. There were millions of worms eating away at the human bodies. Blood flowed everywhere, and millions of people experiencing it. They were gnawed until their bodies were depleted, their bones also gnawed, but then their bodies grew back again as before and then got gnawed again. This happened continuously over and over again. There was no stopping. The worms that never die.
(Isaiah 66:24: “And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.” Mark 9:48: where the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.) They shouted, "LORD JESUS forgive me ..."
They reeled in pain. But the LORD JESUS said to me, "It is too late, when they were in the world, I gave them many opportunities to turn to ME but they did not take the opportunity."
Then the LORD JESUS took my hand and we walked to a deeper place. On the way, suddenly I felt alone. I looked to my right and was shocked and scared – it turned out that I really was alone. The LORD JESUS had left me! I was really scared and feeling weak until finally I lay motionless there, leaning against the wall of Hell. I could no longer stand the fishy smell of blood, the smell of burning bodies, and the shrill cries of people which were so painful to my ears. I lay there in hell.
Not long after, I felt a strong and gentle hand holding me. My heart felt peaceful as I looked at HIS face smiling at me. I was in His arms, on His lap, "I will never forsake MY children, but often many of MY children, in their problems which they think are so severe, think I have forsaken them. I actually never left them, on the contrary it is they who left ME." It was the soft voice of the LORD JESUS speaking with sadness as if about to cry.
(2 Timothy 2:11-13:11Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him; 12 if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us; 13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.)
The impact of this trip on my physical body made me feel very weak, I felt unable to stand. So, one of my friends in my prayer team took me home.
Day 5
In the morning I returned to college as usual. At noon after college I went straight to work. I worked three days a week. Arriving at work, my boss asked, "Lis, someone said that God is putting you through a process of visiting heaven and hell?" I just nodded and smiled. Apparently, he found out from my aunt. My boss doubted what I was experiencing, he scoffed and thought I had a stroke.
After working in the office, I went to teach private lessons (tutoring) for elementary school children. The location was not far from my boss’ house. But I was faced with the problem of how to teach without speaking. But, praise the LORD, the lesson schedules and all the books were already organized and available on the table when I arrived. The students were puzzled at my silence (not talking), but they thought that I had ulcers or toothaches or something like that. I was grateful that my students were only doing math tests, so I didn't need to teach by asking them questions, I just dished out some math questions to them.
Day 6: Areas of Hell Shaped like Human Parts
During the day I prayed alone in my room. Mum was working and my two younger siblings went to school. When I worshipped the LORD and spoke in tongues, I was taken by the LORD to Hell again. This time I was taken to the second part of Hell where I found myself standing at a crossroad; one went to the left, the other to the right.
The first part of hell was shaped like a human head and neck. On the left was the lake of fire, a place for people who didn't believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST. On the right was a sea of worms, a place for people who believed in the LORD JESUS CHRIST but became apostate and left their faith.
The second part of hell was shaped like a hand and body. In the hand part, there were paths that turn to the left and right and there were alleyways full of prison cells. I walked to the left side first, then to the right side, then to the body part. Every place had alleyways like prison cells. Each cell had a different punishment. In one of the cells, I saw someone being guarded by several demons. The place was stuffy, dark, hot and the walls were slimy.
In one cell, there was a person whose hands and feet were held down by three demons, whilst his eyes were gouged out by another demon using his sharp ivory nails. In such a position, the person's eyes were gouged out, his eyeballs fell to the ground of Hell, blood flowed profusely from his eye sockets, he reeled and screamed in pain. Then his eyes slowly reappeared but the devil gouged them again, then his eyes reappeared, and it continued like so.
In another cell I saw a person whose tongue was pulled by the devil, then cut into pieces, blood pouring out of the mouth until all of his tongue was cut off, then the person's tongue grew back as usual, then the devil did the same thing again – all the while the other three demons held the person's hands and feet.
Then I walked to another cell. I saw someone whose hands were chopped off bit by bit until there were no more, then slowly that person's hands grew back again, then chopped off again bit by bit, and it continued like so. In another cell I saw someone whose nose was torn to pieces and blood flowed, but then his nose reappeared, then torn again, and so on. I went to another cell where a person was pulled by the ear, then the ears cut into pieces with blood flowing from the right and left sides of the person's ear. Then slowly the ears grew back then were cut off again, then grew back again, and so on. In another cell, there was someone whose legs were chopped off, one demon held both hands whilst the other two held a leg each. The person was laid down spread out. Blood flowed from the person's legs. The legs were chopped off, then slowly regrew, then chopped off again, then regrew and so on.
I walked alone in the hands and body of Hell, but the voice of the LORD JESUS accompanied me from above - which I could hear so clearly that I did not feel afraid. While walking I also asked the LORD JESUS why the punishment in each cell was different. I asked, “Are these for those who do not believe in You too, LORD?”
Then the LORD answered me, "No MY child, these are for those who believe in ME, but who have used every member of their bodies to do wicked things which are not according to MY Word. With your eyes you see pornographic films, pictures, and internet sites, looking at women or men with lust and desire. If you do not repent until the end of your life, you will be sent to Hell. With your tongue you speak evil words, taste drugs, reproach people, say curses, swear, and blaspheme ME, especially the HOLY SPIRIT. If until the end of your life you do not repent, then your whole body will be put into Hell.
With your nose, you suck drugs, meditate. If until the end of your life you do not repent, then your whole body will be put into Hell.
With your hands you steal, take what is not yours, such as tithes. But even if you did not steal, you used your hands to commit cruel acts, to kill, to fight and other crimes. If until the end of your life you do not repent, then you will be put into Hell.
With your feet you walk to the places of prostitution, discotheques and use your feet to do many other crimes. If you do not repent until the end of your life, then you and your whole body will be put into Hell.
In your heart you keep disappointment, bitter roots, evil words to the point you commit evil, and kill. If you do not repent until the end of your life, then you will enter Hell with your whole body."
When the LORD JESUS was speaking to me, I was in front of a cell in which a person stood with his hands and feet all tied up. A demon then threw a spear at his heart from a distance. Blood flowed from the chest, mouth, nose and ears. Then slowly everything recovered as before, and the stabbing with the spear occurred again; it continued like so.
The punishment in Hell does not stop, nor given any rest. It continues, every moment, every hour, every second. Eternal.
When Jesus spoke of every sin above, I saw pictures of many people, mostly young people, having a party at a discotheque and getting drunk from drinking alcohol.
My spiritual body was in Hell, but the smell and screams of people were felt in my physical body. I felt dizzy, my ears hurt, I even felt nauseous and was drenched in cold sweat.
"What you do with your limbs must be held accountable before ME because I give you limbs to do noble deeds, to glorify MY Name."
(Romans 6:13,18,19: 13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.
18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. 19 I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.) I started praying at 10:30 am and finished at 15:00. I could still smell Hell which seemed to be lingering in my house. I felt weak, so I rested.
Day 7: The Crucifixion Process
In the afternoon I prayed at church with the prayer team. We prayed worshipping the LORD, speaking in tongues. After a while, my mouth started to mumble but, in my heart, I was speaking in tongues, and my body began to feel difficult to move. Out of nowhere, I found myself in a bright place on rocky hills. Then I saw two large radiant hands which took my spiritual body and placed it on a piece of wood. I didn't know what wood it was. But after looking intently, I noticed that the wood was in the shape of a cross. I wanted to stand and run, but I couldn't do it. I was placed in a supine sleeping position, my right and left arms outstretched while my legs were straight down. It turned out that what was happening to my spiritual body was happening to my physical body too. The effect was the same -- my physical body went from a sitting position to a supine sleeping position, exactly like the position of my spiritual body.
Then slowly the big hand took the nail and hammer. I was shocked and revolted. I was afraid. I had never seen nails that big. An enormous nail began to be nailed onto my hand between the palm and wrist, in the area of the arteries. First the right hand, then the left hand. In the spiritual body, the blood flowed out until I felt extreme pain in the physical body. I reeled in extreme pain. After my right hand and left hand were nailed, the focus turned to my feet. Right foot was superimposed upon the left foot. Then the big hand started to nail my feet. My right foot was placed over the left foot, then nailed. Spiritually the blood flowed out, physically, I experienced pain. My head was given a crown of thorns. My physical body broke out in cold sweat, it hurt so much.
In the physical world, seeing my body reeling in pain, my friends began to pray for me, crying out for the mercy of the FATHER in the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. After that, I felt my side was stabbed until it bled out blood and water. My body hurt so much, from the tip of my head to my feet - everything ached in pain. It really hurt as if my bones were crumbling. I couldn’t bear it anymore .. my throat felt sore and dry. I was very thirsty. Then, spiritually, I was given a drink that tasted more bitter than herbal or medicine I had ever taken, and very sour. Bitter and sour, mixed together. I couldn’t bear it, so much so that I physically wanted to throw up.
Through this incident the LORD said, "Tell MY people, do not crucify ME a second time, through the actions of their hands, their feet, their mind, even hidden things in their hearts that no one can see. Repent and sin no more. I have atoned for their sins on the cross, even for all their sicknesses, diseases, their weaknesses I have borne through MY blood. Don't waste MY sacrifice."
(Hebrews 6:4-8: 4It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 6 and who have fallen[c] away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. 7Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. 8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.) After the crucifixion, prayer and worship finished. It was 9:30 p.m.
Day 8
In the morning, I went to college as usual. Upon arriving on campus, I started to feel strange for some reason. Even when I joined my friends, I still felt strange. They mocked and criticized me, saying I was weird, I was a mute, I had mouth ulcers, and so on. Everyone mocked me, including my close friends. I wanted to scream but I couldn't. I just screamed in my heart. I could not stand it anymore, I felt lonely. Even the atmosphere with my close friend on the way home changed. Usually we would banter and joke, but not this time.
It seemed like nobody could understand, even closest friends stayed away from me. I was considered strange by them. My eyes filled with tears as I cried, but I would wipe them off. Just then as I was feeling sad, I saw the LORD JESUS crying, I felt HIS tears falling on my head and hands even though physically my head and hands were not wet. "Do not be sad my dear, I have experienced what you have experienced, even those who are often with me and are close to ME, leave ME. Truly what you experience and feel, I also feel. When you are alone, feeling abandoned by everyone, there is I, who always accompany you."
(Hebrews 4:14-16:14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.)
Additional Context -John the Baptist Final Aaronic- Priest John the Baptist was in the priestly line of Aaron, with his father Zacharias and his mother Elisabeth descending from Aaron (Luke 1:5). Under Mosaic Law, only descendants of Aaron could serve as priests (Ex 28:1; Num 3:10). John held legitimate priestly authority under the old covenant. His ministry was not just prophetic but also priestly, preparing the way for the Messiah and calling Israel to repentance.. When Jesus came to John it was not because He needed repentance but to fulfill all righteousness (Matt 3.15). Greek for fulfill (plerosai) indicates a full completion or carrying out or a requirement. Jesus was publicly identifying with the law, the people, and the priesthood, while John - acting as. The final legitimate priest under the Law- was pointing to the greater Priest to come. This marked the end of the Aaronic priesthood and the beginning of Christ's eternal priesthood after the order of Melchisedec (Ps 110:4: Heb 5:6). Hebrews 7 explains the change in priesthood required a change in the law (Heb 7:12). Jesus, from the tribe of Judah, could not legally serve as priest under the old covenant. But by God's sovereign design, the old priesthood was fulfilled and passed away, and John's baptism of Jesus acted as a prophetic and priestly handoff. The Lord used John, the final Aaronic priest, to inaugurate Christ's role as the true and final High Priest who would offer Himself once for all (Heb 7:27) -Brother GatorRob777
As soon as I got home, I heard a knock on the front door. It was my best friend Jenny, who lived in the same housing complex as me. She came and hugged me, and immediately said, "Elisabeth, I'm sorry, all this time I made fun of you, I didn't know that you were being processed by God." Then she related that she knew this from the LORD while she was praying. Jenny was one of the intercessors.
Day 9
I prayed alone in my room, speaking in tongues worshipping the LORD. The LORD took me back to hell where there were many cells – to the part of Hell that looked like a hand. I was told by the LORD to walk to the end of the hand which was shaped like a palm with fingers. I walked alone to the tip of a finger, and I tried not to be afraid because the LORD’s voice was guiding me from above. I slowly walked to the very tip. I looked at each finger part one by one. The place was dark, musty, smelly and I could feel the heat from the place. There were many demons clustered there. Their hands and feet were bound with very large chains. As I was observing the place, suddenly I heard a voice praying, but the language was unfamiliar to me. Then I saw a large vision in front of me like a movie screen. There was a person dressed in black with flower offerings in front of him. His mouth seemed to utter words of a language I could not understand. It looked like he was uttering some mantra or spell. At that moment, a large demon with a large horn behind his head was set free from the chains that bound it. The demon came out of Hell and walked in front of the person, ready to carry out his orders.
Then I saw another vision in front of me in which there were religious leaders praying for a family’s home. When the evil spirits were driven out of the house, the spirits came to hell bound. One by one, they entered the cells in Hell. Strangely, however, there were other evil spirits that went out of these cells; bigger than the previous evil spirits that entered. These bigger evil spirits immediately inhabited the house that was being prayed for.
Another vision came, I saw someone who was possessed, shouting and thrashing around. Nearby were people like shamans praying for him. When a demon came out of the body of the possessed person, it looked like an old lady, but once in Hell, it transformed into a very ugly, scary demon with sharp teeth. In a bound state it entered the cell in hell. When it entered, another bigger demon came out of the same cell freed from the chains that bound it and proceeded to replace the demon that previously lived in the body of the person. Before entering his body, this bigger demon transformed into a very beautiful woman, dressed in a princess' outfit. The possessed person stopped manifesting and immediately regained consciousness.
Another vision came, I saw many people praying, worshipping not in places of worship but in mountains, trees and caves. Soon one person became rich, abundant in worldly possessions. There I saw how the demons worked to serve him and to fulfil his desires for wealth. I saw many demons taking property from one person and transferring it to the person who was worshipping that demon; the transfer was done through seemingly successful businesses or abundant profits. On the other hand, there were people who become bankrupt because their property was stolen by demons. As long as the people perform their ritual, their property increases. Conversely, those who neglect or forget to do their ritual, they would soon fall into poverty; their businesses would go bankrupt, their belongings would run out because of being deceived, or their family member suddenly became seriously ill so that they sell their property to pay for medical expenses. All lost wealth is transferred to devil worshippers who are diligent in carrying out rituals.
The devil takes ownership of those who worship him, meaning that the person and his descendants belong to the devil, and the devil is free to do whatever he wishes upon them. The devil takes wealth from those who do not believe in the LORD JESUS or those who are not sincere in their beliefs in the LORD JESUS. Thus, they do not have the seal of ownership of the LORD JESUS.
What I saw and learnt was that the devil always takes property from people whose spirits are dark, whose houses are dark in which smaller demons or ones lower in rank live. True to the word of the LORD, the work of the devil is to steal, kill and destroy. So never play with the power of darkness, not even once – because even one time is enough for the devil to take ownership of the life of the person and all his descendants. After that I finished praying.
Additional Parts of the Testimony:
- PART 1 — THE MANY ROADS THAT LEAD TO DESTRUCTION: Elisabeth's descriptions of hell and the different forms of punishment she says she witnessed related to Satan, demonic activity, occult practices, idolatry, and other forms of spiritual darkness. The testimony turns toward the choices people make during their earthly lives and the consequences of rejecting God. Elisabeth emphasizes repentance, obedience, the condition of the heart, and the importance of choosing the way that leads to life.
- PART 2 — HEAVEN, SERVICE, AND SPIRITUAL MATURITY: After the frightening scenes of hell, Elisabeth describes being shown the beauty and glory of heaven. She speaks about heavenly surroundings, the homes prepared for God's children. Elisabeth describes being brought into increasingly glorious heavenly scenes and encountering the majesty of Christ as King. These experiences lead into a broader message about faith, dependence upon God, and being spiritually prepared.
- PART 3 — HOLD FAST TO YOUR FAITH: Near the end of the 40 days with Jesus, Elisabeth receives an extensive message concerning the Christian life and the condition of the world. The emphasis is on remaining faithful to Christ, walking in holiness and love, helping others, rejecting idols, and not allowing worldly possessions to become more important than God. She is instructed to remember what she experienced and share the warning with others, ending the testimony with a call to pray, remain faithful, and be ready for Christ's return.
