1ST TESTIMONY

2 Corinthians 12:2: “I know a man in Christ who 14 years ago—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows—was caught up as far as the third heaven.”

We were in the room, when we had the first experience. The room started to fill again with a light from the presence of the Lord. It was so powerful that it lit up the entire room. The room was full of His glory, it was beautiful to be before Him.

Jesus told us, “My sons, now I will show you My Kingdom, we will go to My Glory.” We took each other’s hands and were lifted up. I looked down and noticed that we were going out of our own bodies. As we left our bodies we were dressed with white robes and started to go up at a very high speed.

We arrived in front of a pair of doors which was the entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven. We were astonished at what was happening to us. Thankfully, Jesus the Son of God was there with us, along with two angels who each had four wings.

The angels began to talk to us, but we didn’t understand what they were saying. Their language was very different from ours, neither was it like any Earthly language. These angels were welcoming us and they opened those immense doors. We saw a wonderful place, with many different things. When we came inside, a perfect peace filled our hearts. The Bible tells us that God would give us peace that surpasses all human understanding (Philippians 4:7).

The first thing I saw was a deer, so I asked one of my friends, “Sandra, are you looking at the same thing I am looking at?” She was no longer crying or shouting anymore, as when we were shown Hell. She was smiling and said: “Yes Esau, I am looking at a deer!” Then I knew that everything was real, we were really in the Kingdom of Heaven. All the horrors that we saw in Hell were soon forgotten. We were there enjoying the glory of God. We went to where the deer was, behind it stood an absolutely huge tree! It was in the center of the paradise.

The Bible tells us in Revelation 2:7: “Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. I will grant the victor to eat from the tree of life that stands in the paradise of God.”

This tree is a symbol of Jesus, because Christ is Eternal Life. Behind the tree was a river of crystalline water. It was so clear and beautiful, like we never had seen before on Earth. We just wanted to stay in that place. Many times we said to the Lord, “Lord please! Do not take us out of this place! We want to be here forever! We don’t want to go back to Earth!” The Lord answered us, “It is necessary that you go back to give testimony of all the things that I have prepared for those who love Me because I am coming back very soon and My reward is with Me.”

When we saw the river, we hurried there and got inside of it. We remembered the scripture that says that whoever believes in the Lord, from his belly shall run rivers of living water (John 7:38). The water from this river seemed to have life in itself, so we immersed ourselves in it. Inside and outside of the water we could breathe normally. That river was very deep and there were many different colors of fish swimming in it. The light inside and out of the river was normal; in Heaven light did not come from a specific source, everything was just brightly lit up. The Bible tells us that the Lord Jesus is the light of that city (Revelations 21:23).

With our hands, we took some of the fish out of the water; they didn’t die. So we ran to the Lord and asked Him why. The Lord smiled and answered that in Heaven there is no more death, no more crying, and no more pain (Revelations 21:4).

We left the river and ran to every place we could find, we wanted to touch and experience everything. We wanted to bring everything back home with us, because we were so amazed at the things in Heaven. They simply cannot be explained sufficiently with words. When the Apostle Paul was taken to Heaven, he saw things that he could never explain with words, because of the greatness of the things in the Kingdom of Heaven (2 Corinthians 12). There are things we saw that we have almost no way of describing.

We then came to a very immense area; a very wonderful and beautiful place. This place was full of precious stones: gold, emeralds, rubies and diamonds. The floor was made of pure gold. We then went to a place where there were three very large books. The first one was a Bible made of gold. In Psalms it tells us that the Word of God is eternal and that the Word of God remains in Heaven forever (Psalms 119:89). We were looking at a huge golden Bible; the pages, the scripture, everything was made of pure gold.

The second book we saw was bigger than the Bible. It was open and an angel was sitting there writing inside the book. Together with the Lord Jesus we got closer to see what the angel was writing. The angel was writing all of the things that were happening on the Earth. Everything that has happened; including the date, the hour, everything is recorded there. This is done so the Word of the Lord can be fulfilled where it says that the Books were opened, and that the people on the Earth were judged according to their works that were written in those books (Revelations 20:12). The angel was writing all the things that people were doing here on Earth, good or bad, as it is written.

We continued to the place where the third book was. It was even bigger than the last book! The book was closed, but we got closer to it. All seven of us together took the book down from its stand, according to command of the Lord, and we put it on a pillar.

The pillars and columns in Heaven are so wonderful! They are not made like the ones on the Earth. The columns were like a braid, they were made of different precious stones. Some were made of diamonds, others were made of pure emeralds, others were made of pure gold, and others were made of a combination of many different types of stones. I then understood that God really is the owner of all things, as it is written in Haggai 2:8, “The gold is mine, and silver is mine.” I understood that God is absolutely rich and He owns all the riches in the world. I also understood that the world in all its fullness belongs to our God, and He wants to give it to all those who ask in faith.

The Lord said, “Ask me and I will give you the nations for an inheritance” (Psalms 2:8). This book that we put on the column was so big that in order to turn a page we had to walk each page to the other side of the book. We tried to read what was in that book, as the Lord asked us. At first, it was difficult to read because it was written in strange characters that we could not understand. It was different from any Earthly language; it was something totally Heavenly. But with the help of the Holy Ghost, we were given the grace to understand it. It was like a bandage was taken off our eyes and we could then understand the writing; as clear as our own language.

We could see that all seven of our names were written in the book. The Lord told us that it was the Book of Life (Revelations 3:5). We noted that the names written in the book were not the names we were called on Earth; these names were new, so the Word of God can be fulfilled when it says that He would give us a new name that no one else knows but the person who receives it (Revelations 2:17).

In Heaven, we were able to pronounce our names, but once the Lord brought us back to Earth those names were taken from our memories and our hearts. The Word of God is eternal, and it has to be fulfilled. My friends, the Bible says, (Revelations 3:11) “Don’t let anyone take your crown, do not let anyone remove that place that the Father has ready for you.” In Heaven, there are millions of things that are wonderful, we just can’t express it with our mouths. But I want to tell you something, “God is waiting for you!” However it is only the people that persevere until the end, who will be saved! (Mark 13:13).

2ND TESTIMONY

When we started to go up to the Kingdom of Heaven, we came to a beautiful place with precious doors. In front of the doors were two angels. They started to talk, but their speech was angelical and we could not understand what they were saying. But the Holy Ghost gave us understanding. They were welcoming us. The Lord Jesus put His hands on the doors and they opened. If Jesus were not with us, we would never have been able to come inside Heaven.

We began to appreciate everything in Heaven. We saw a huge tree, the Bible describes this tree as the “Tree of Life” (Revelation 2:7). We went to a river, and saw a lot of fish inside. Everything was so amazing that my friends and I decided to go inside the water. We began to swim under that water. We saw the fish moving around and they caressed our bodies. They didn’t swim away as normally happens on Earth; the presence of the Lord calmed the fish. The fish could trust us because they knew that we were not going to harm them. I was so blessed and marveled that I grabbed one of the fish and took it out of the water. What was so amazing was that the fish was very quiet, enjoying the presence of the Lord even in my hands. I put the fish back into the water.

I could see in the distance that there were white horses in Heaven, as it is written in the Word of God in Revelation 19:11: “Then I saw heaven open and a white horse appeared. Its rider is called Faithful and True; justly He judges and wages war.” Those horses were the ones that the Lord will use when He comes to the Earth to take His people, His church. I walked to the horses and began to pat them. The Lord followed me and allowed me to ride one of them.

When I started to ride, I felt something that I had never felt before on Earth. I began to experience the peace, the freedom, the love, the holiness that a person can have in that beautiful place. I started to enjoy everything that my eyes could see. I just wanted to enjoy everything in that beautiful paradise that the Lord has prepared for us.

We also could see the wedding banquet table, everything was already served. It had no beginning or end. We saw the chairs prepared for us. There were also crowns of eternal life that are ready to be taken by us. We saw delicious foods that are already set, for all of those that will be invited to the Wedding of the Lamb.

Angels were there with some white cloth for the cloaks that the Lord is preparing for us. I was amazed looking at all these things. The Word of God tells us that we have to receive the Kingdom of God like little children (Matthew 18:3). When we were in Heaven, we were like children.

We started to enjoy everything there; the flowers, the residences... the Lord even allowed us to go inside the residences.

Then God took us to a place that had many children. The Lord was in the middle of them and He started to play with them. He made sure to spend enough time with each of them and He enjoyed being with them. We got close to the Lord and asked Him, “Lord are these children the ones who are going to be born on Earth?” The Lord answered, “No, these children are the ones who were aborted on the Earth.” Upon hearing that, I felt something inside of me that made me shake.

I remembered something I had done in the past, when I did not know the Lord. At that time, I was in a relationship with a woman and she got pregnant. When she told me she was pregnant, I did not know what to do so I asked her for some time to make a decision. Time passed and when I went to her to tell my decision, it was already too late because she already had an abortion. That marked my life. Even after I accepted the Lord in my heart, that abortion was something that I could not forgive myself of. But God did something that day. He allowed me to enter that place and told me, “Ariel, do you see that girl that is there? That girl is your daughter.”

When He told me that, I saw the girl. I felt the wound I had in my soul for such a long time start to heal. The Lord allowed me to walk close to her and she got close to me. I took her in my hands and saw her eyes. One word I heard from her lips: “Daddy.” I understood and I felt that God had mercy on me and had forgiven me, but I had to learn to forgive myself.

Dear friend, whoever reads this, I want to tell you one thing: God has already forgiven your sins, now you have to learn to forgive yourself. I give thanks to God for allowing me to share this testimony with you. Lord Jesus Christ, I give You the honor and glory! This testimony is of the Lord, He allowed us to receive this revelation. I hope that each one of our brothers that reads this testimony shall also receive the blessing of this testimony and take it to bless many others.

God bless you.

3RD TESTIMONY

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

THE VALLEY OF FLOWERS

When we arrived, these big doors were opened for us, and I started to see a valley full of flowers. The flowers were beautiful and their smell was exquisite. We started to walk and experience a total freedom like we had never felt on the Earth. We felt a peace that filled our hearts and while we looked at the flowers we noticed that they were unique; each petal was different, genuine, and had a unique color.

Inside my heart, I said to my Lord that I wanted to have a flower like one of these. The Lord gave an expression of agreement, I got close to a flower and started to pull it. But nothing happened, I could not pull the flower out of the ground. I couldn't even pull the petals or leaves off of the flower. Then the Lord broke the silence and said, "Here everything must be done in love." He touched the flower and it surrendered itself to the hand of the Lord. He then gave it to us. We continued walking and the smell from the flowers was still with us.

THE ROBES OF THE REDEEMED

We arrived at a place with a set of very beautiful doors. These doors were not simple, they were very ornate in their craftsmanship and had precious stones engraved on them. The doors opened and we entered into a room with many people. Everybody was running here and there making preparations. Some of them carried rolls of shining white cloth over their shoulders, others were carrying spindles of golden thread, and yet others were taking some kind of plates with something like shields inside them. Everyone was running with effort.

We asked the Lord why there was so much effort and hurry. Then Lord bid a young man to come close. This man had a roll of cloth on his shoulders. He came and looked at the Lord, reverently. When the Lord asked him why he was carrying that roll of cloth, he just looked at the Lord and said, "Lord you know what this cloth is for! This cloth is used to make the robes of the redeemed, the robes for the great Bride."

Upon hearing this, we felt a great joy and peace.

Revelation 19:8 tells us: “And it has been granted to her to be dressed in pure, resplendent linen. For the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.”

When we came out of that place we felt even more peace, because it was beautiful to see that the Lord Himself was making something nice for us. He has the place and the time for you because you are important to Him. When we came out of that place, our eyes got lost in every detail in Heaven. It's like each thing had life in itself, and every object there was giving glory to God.

THE CHILDREN OF HEAVEN

Then we came to a place where there were millions and millions of children, of all ages. When they saw the Lord, all of them wanted to hug Him, to feel more of His love, because He was their passion. Jesus was the passion of each child there. We felt like crying after seeing how the Lord spoiled each one of these children, how He kissed them and held their hands.

We saw how angels got close to the Lord, bringing Him babies wrapped in linen. The Lord caressed, touched, and gave them a kiss on their foreheads and then the angels took them back with them. We asked the Lord why there were so many children there, were those children going to be sent to the Earth. The Lord sounded touched for a moment, and He said, "No, these children will not be sent to the Earth! These are the ones that were aborted on the Earth, whose parents don't want to have them. These are my children and I love them."

THE ABORTED CHILD

When I didn't know the Lord, the true Life that He is, I made mistakes and sinned like everybody else. Among those sins was an abortion I had. There was a moment where I had to be face to face with the Lord and ask Him, "Lord, is the baby I aborted, long ago, here?"

The Lord answered, "Yes."

I started walking to one of the sides and I saw a beautiful little boy. Close to his feet stood an angel. The angel was looking at the Lord, and the boy had his back facing us.

The Lord told me, "Look, there is your boy." I wanted to see him so I ran over to him, but the angel stopped me with his hand. He showed me that I had to listen to the boy first. I started to hear what the little boy was saying. He was talking and looking in the direction of the other children. He asked the angel, "Are my daddy and my mommy coming here soon?" The angel, looking at me, answered to him, "Yes, your daddy and your mommy are just about to come."

I do not know why I was given the privilege of hearing these words, but in my heart I knew that these words were the best gift that the Lord could give to me. This little one was not talking with anger, or pain, maybe knowing that we did not let him be born. He was simply waiting with the love that God had placed in his heart.

We continued walking, but I kept the image of that boy in my heart. I know that each day I have to make an effort to be able to be with him one day. I have one more reason to go there, because someone is waiting for me in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Isaiah 65:19 says: “I too will rejoice over Jerusalem and will delight in My people. No more will there be heard in her the voice of weeping or the voice of crying.”

THE DANCE OF JESUS

We came to a place with some small mountains, and the Lord Jesus came dancing. In front of Him was a crowd of people dressed in white robes and they lifted their hands with green olive branches. When they waved the branches in the air, they released oil.

God has great things prepared for you! Now is the time for you to put your heart before Him.

God bless you.

4TH TESTIMONY

1 Corinthians 2:9 "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, neither has the human heart thought of what God has prepared for those who love Him."

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

In the Kingdom of Heaven, we saw wonderful things as it is written in the Word of God. When we arrived at the Kingdom of Heaven it was so spectacular and wonderful to see so many things; so many big things and to feel the glory of the Lord. It was so special; a place with lots of children. We could say that there were millions of children in that place.

THE CHILDREN AND THEIR TEACHING

We saw children of different ages. Heaven was divided into sections. We saw some kind of baby-house that sheltered kids aged 2–4. We also noticed that the children in the Kingdom of Heaven grow up and there was a school where the children are taught the Word of God. The teachers are angels and they teach the children worship songs and how to glorify the Lord Jesus.

THE JOY OF THE LORD AND MARY

When the Lord arrived, we could see the immense joy of our King. Even though we could not see His face, we could see His smile, it filled the entire place. When He arrived, all the children ran to Him!

In the middle of all those children, we could see Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ on Earth. She was a beautiful woman. We did not see her on a throne and neither was anyone worshiping her. She was there as one of the other women in Heaven, like all other people on Earth she had to win her salvation. She had a white robe and a golden belt around her waist, and her hair reached down to her waist.

On Earth, we have listened to many people as they worship Mary as the mother of Jesus, but I want to tell you that the Word of God says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but by Me." (John 14:6) The only entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven is Jesus of Nazareth.

THE LIGHT OF HEAVEN

We also noticed there was no Sun or Moon. The Word of God tells us in Revelation 22:5: "And night shall be no more; they will need neither lamplight nor sunlight, for the Lord God will be their light, and they shall reign for ever and ever."

We could see the glory of God. We find it difficult to explain the horrors we saw in hell, but it is even more difficult to try to explain the celestial things we saw and the perfection of our Maker. When we were there, we wanted to run and see everything. We could lay down on the grass, and we could feel the glory of God. That soft whistle, that soft wind that caressed our faces, it was something wonderful.

THE GOLDEN CROSS

In the middle of the sky, we could see a huge cross made of pure gold. We believe that this was not a symbol of idolatry but more like a symbol showing that through the death of Jesus on the cross, we have entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven.

THE LOVE OF JESUS

We continued walking in Heaven. It was fascinating to walk with the Lord Jesus Christ. There we could know for sure who is the God that we are serving… Jesus of Nazareth. Many of us on Earth think there is a God up there, just waiting for us to commit a sin, so He can punish us and send us to hell. But that is not reality. We could see the other face of Jesus—a Jesus that is a friend; a Jesus that cries when you cry. Jesus is a God of love, compassion and mercy; He takes us in His hands to help us continue in the way of salvation.

MEETING KING DAVID

The Lord Jesus also allowed us to meet a person from the Bible. We met King David, the King David mentioned in the Scriptures. He was a good looking man, tall, and his face reflected the Glory of God. The whole time we were in the Kingdom of Heaven, the only thing that King David did was dance, dance, dance and give all the glory and the honor to God.

THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE

To those who are reading this testimony, I want to tell you that in the Word of God it says in Revelation 21:27: "But nothing unclean nor anyone practicing immorality and falsehood shall ever enter it, but only those whose names have been recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life." And I also want to tell you that only the brave ones take hold of the Kingdom of Heaven.

God bless you.

5TH TESTIMONY

2 Corinthians 5:10 "For we must all appear before the tribunal of Christ, so that each may receive as his due what he practiced while in the body, whether good or bad."

THE NEW JERUSALEM

In the Kingdom of Heaven, we could see the New Jerusalem which the Bible tells us about in John 14:2: "In My Father's house are many dwelling places. If this were not so, I would have told you. For I am going away to prepare a place for you." We could see the city and enter it; it is a real and wonderful city! Jesus went there to prepare those dwelling places for us.

In the city we could see that each residence or house had the owner's name written in front of the house. This city is not yet inhabited, but it is ready for us. We were allowed to go inside the houses and see all the things inside. But later when we left the city, we forgot the things we saw, those memories were taken away from us. However, we can remember that the columns of the houses are plated with precious metals and have many different types of precious stones encrusted in them. They also have pure gold in them.

The gold of this city is like the Bible describes; it is almost transparent, and so shiny. The gold on Earth cannot be compared in luster and beauty to the gold that is in Heaven.

THE TEARS OF THE SAINTS

After this, we were taken to a place that had lots of containers. Inside those containers were crystallized tears. Those were the tears that the sons of God shed on the Earth. They were not tears of complaints, but tears that people shed when they are in the presence of God; tears of repentance, tears of gratitude. God keeps these tears as a precious treasure in Heaven, just like it is mentioned in Psalms 56:8: "Thou takest note of my roaming; and put my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?"

THE ANGELS OF GOD

We also came to a place where many, many angels were. Although in Heaven we could see many different types of angels, this place had just one special type. We saw that Jesus has a specific angel for each person. He also showed us that this angel will be close to us during our entire existence. He introduced us to the angels assigned to us. We got to see their characteristics, but God told us that we are not allowed to reveal these things to others.

We read in Psalms 91:11: "For He gives His angels orders regarding you, to protect you wherever you go."

THE FLOWERS OF LIFE

We came to a place with many lockers, within them were many different flowers. Some flowers were open, beautiful and radiant. But others were droopy, and some were even shriveled. We asked Jesus what the meaning of all those flowers were.

He answered, "It is because the life of each of you is like one of these flowers." He took one of the radiant flowers and said, "This flower shows the condition of the communion that you have with Me." He left that flower and took another one that was down. He said, "Look, this person is down because they are having a trial, or a difficulty. There is something in this life that is interrupting the communion with Me. Do you know what I do with these flowers when they are down in order to make them brilliant and healthy again?"

He then took the flower in His hand and said, "I shed my tears over them and I raise them up." We saw how in a powerful way this flower began to have life again and raise up, and its colors began to appear again.

Then He took one of the shriveled flowers and He threw it into the fire and said, "Look, this person had known Me and walked away from Me. Now he dies without me and it is thrown to the fire." (John 15:5–6)

THE CASTLE OF GOD’S PRESENCE

When we left there, we saw a beautiful castle very far in the distance. Nobody dared to get close to that castle, and we believe that is what the Scriptures talk about in Revelation 22:1: "He then showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing forth from the throne of God and of the Lamb." We believe that the castle was probably located near the presence and throne of God.

JOY AND PEACE IN HEAVEN

While experiencing all these things in the Kingdom of Heaven, we had so much joy in our hearts, we had a peace that passes all understanding. (Philippians 4:7) We understood as it is written in 1 Peter 1:4: "To an inheritance imperishable, unsullied, and unfading that is kept safely in heaven for you."

5TH TESTIMONY

(Luke 22:30) "That ye may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

In that marvelous place, God allowed us to see the most beautiful reception hall that we ever thought could exist anywhere in the universe. We saw a giant throne with two chairs of pure gold and precious stones that do not exist on Earth. In front of the throne was a table that had no end, covered with a white tablecloth. It was so white that we couldn't compare it to anything on Earth.

THE FEAST OF HEAVEN

All manner of exquisite and refined foods was set on the table. We saw grapes the size of oranges, and the Lord Jesus Christ let us taste some of them. We still can remember their taste, it was something so wonderful! My brother and friend, you can't imagine all the things that are ready in the Kingdom of Heaven and what God has already prepared for you. (1 Corinthians 2:9)

Also on the table, God allowed us to see the bread, the “Manna.” This was the bread of God that the Scriptures tell us about. We were allowed to enjoy the taste along with many other wonderful things that don't even exist on Earth.

THE INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS

These things are waiting for us as our incorruptible inheritance in the Kingdom of Heaven. We will enjoy some amazingly exquisite and delicious foods when we inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. We were amazed that the chairs were set on both sides of the table. These beautiful chairs had names written on each one. We could clearly read our names on those chairs, but our names were not the same ones we have here on Earth. They were the new names that nobody else knew but ourselves. (Revelation 2:17)

What was written in the Word of God surprised us: "Do not rejoice that the demons submit to you, rejoice because your names are written in Heaven." (Luke 10:20) There were a lot of chairs! There is enough space for all of those who want to come to the Kingdom of Heaven.

THE WARNINGS OF THE LORD

There were also chairs that were taken away from the table. That means there are men and women who got tired of serving God, and their names were erased from the Book of Life, and they are set away from the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.

MEETING ABRAHAM

God also allowed us to see men from the Bible, the wonderful saints that we read about in Scriptures. We were surprised to see Abraham. Abraham was an elder, but not in his body or appearance. He was an elder by the wisdom that he had. Abraham's hair was totally white, but each hair was like glass filaments or diamond filaments. What surprised us the most was that he was even younger than we are. In Heaven, all of us will rejuvenate and be young.

We were also surprised by his words. Abraham told us something that we will never forget. He welcomed us to the Kingdom of Heaven and told us that soon we would be in that place, because the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is approaching quickly.

John Bunyan 2

The narrator is guided by a heavenly messenger on a journey above the earth to witness eternal realities. As they ascend, the world appears small and insignificant, revealing how fleeting earthly things are compared to heaven. The angel explains the fallen angels’ rebellion, their hatred toward mankind, and their irreversible judgment. The narrator is shown the sun, stars, and wonders of creation, all pointing to God’s unmatched power. Finally, he is taken into heaven itself, where he beholds indescribable glory and hears unspeakable songs—realizing that the beauty and majesty of God’s kingdom far surpass anything the human heart could imagine.

---

BEYOND THE SUN AND STARS

The heavenly messenger then said, "That you may never doubt the reality of eternal things, I have come to show you the truth of them: not by faith only—but also by sight. I will show you things never yet seen by mortal eye, and to that end your eyes shall be strengthened and made able to behold heavenly things."

At these words of the angel I was very surprised, and doubted I would be able to bear it. I said to him, "Who is able to bear such a sight?"

To this he replied, "The joy of the Lord shall be your strength." When he had said this, he took hold of me and said, "Fear not, for I am sent to show the things you have not seen." Then before I was aware, I found myself far above the earth, which seemed now to be very small.

THE WORLD FROM ABOVE

Then I said to my bright conductor, "Please let it not offend you if I ask a question or two." To this he replied, "Speak on. It is my work to answer whatever you ask. For I am a ministering spirit, sent forth to minister to you and to those who will inherit salvation."

Then I said, "Please inform me about that dark spot below, which has grown smaller and smaller as we have mounted higher, and which appears much darker since I have come into this region of light."

My conductor replied, "That little spot that now looks so dark and despised is the world which you have lived on. To obtain one small part of that spot of earth so many men have risked and lost their immortal souls; which are so precious that the Prince of Peace has told us that though a man could gain the whole world, it would not equal so great a loss.

As you have ascended higher towards heaven, the world has appeared still smaller and more insignificant; and it will appear the same to all who can by faith get their hearts above it. If men below could but see the world as it is, they would not covet it as they do now, but alas, they are in a state of darkness. And what is worse, they love to walk in this darkness. For although the Prince of Light came down among them and showed them the true light of life—yet they go on in darkness and will not bring themselves to the light, because their deeds are evil."

THE FALLEN ANGELS

Then I asked him, "What are those multitudes of black and horrible forms that hover in the air above the world? I would have been much afraid of them, but I saw that as you passed by, they fled; perhaps not being able to abide your brightness."

To this he answered me, "They are the fallen angels which for their pride and rebellion were cast down from heaven. They wander in the air by decree of the Almighty, being bound in chains of darkness and kept unto the judgment of the great day.

They are permitted to descend into the world, both for the trial of the elect, and for the condemnation of the wicked. And although you see that they now have black and horrible forms—yet they were once the sons of Light. They once were clothed in robes of glorious brightness, like what you see me wear. But the loss of this, although it was the result of their own willful sin, fills them with anger and hatred against the ever blessed God Whose power and majesty, they fear and hate."

NO HOPE FOR RECONCILIATION

"Tell me," I said, "O blessed conductor, have they no hopes of being reconciled to God again, after some term of time, or at least some of them?"

"No, not at all. They are lost forever. They were the first that sinned, and had no tempter; and they were at once cast down from heaven. Besides, the Son of God, the blessed Messiah by Whom alone salvation can be gained, did not take upon Himself the angelic nature. He left the apostate angels all to perish, and took upon Himself only the seed of Abraham.

For this reason they have so much hatred against the sons of men, because it is a torment for them to see men made the heirs of heaven—while they are doomed to hell."

ABOVE THE SUN

By this time we were above the sun. My conductor told me this mighty globe of fire was one of the great works of God. Yet all the stars were not less wonderful; whose great distance away makes them appear like candles in our sight. They hang in their appointed places without any support. Nothing but His word that first created them, could keep them in their station.

"These words are enough," I said to my conductor, "To convince anyone of the great power of their Creator, and to show the evil of that unbelief which questions the being of the God who has given so many evidences of His power and glory. If men were not like beasts still looking downwards, they could not help but acknowledge His great power and wisdom."

"You speak what is true," he replied. "But you will see far greater things than these. These are but the scaffolds and outworks to that glorious place, that the glorified above inhabit. A view of it shall now be given to you—as far as you are able to comprehend it."

THE UNSPEAKABLE GLORY OF HEAVEN

In a few moments I found what my conductor had told me was true. For I found myself transferred into heaven, where I saw things that are impossible to describe, and heard beautiful songs that I could never sing.

Whoever has not seen that glory can speak but very imperfectly of it, and those who have seen it cannot tell the thousandth part of what it is. Therefore the great apostle of the Gentiles, who tells us that he had been caught up into paradise where he had heard unspeakable words which are not possible for a man to utter, wrote that "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man—to conceive the things that God has prepared for those who love him."

I will give you the best account I can of what I saw and heard, as near as I can remember.

In this part of the testimony, the narrator is welcomed into heaven, a place of unimaginable light, joy, and divine glory, where even the saints shine with transparent radiance from God’s presence. Overwhelmed by the sight, he meets Elijah, who explains that the glory and happiness of heaven are ever new and ever increasing, because God's infinite nature means there's always more to behold. Though Elijah's body was transformed rather than dying, he explains that even he cannot fully express the joy experienced in heaven. The testimony ends with the reminder that no eye, ear, or imagination on earth can comprehend what God has prepared for those who love Him.

WELCOME TO DIVINE HAPPINESS 

When I was first brought near this glorious place, I saw innumerable hosts of bright attendants, who welcomed me into this blessed place of happiness. And there I saw that perfect and unapproachable light, which changes all things into its own nature, for even the souls of the glorified saints are transparent. They are not illumined by the sun; but all that light, that flows with such transparent brightness throughout these heavenly mansions, is nothing else but the shining forth of the Divine glory.

Compared to this glory, the light of the sun is but darkness, and the fire of the most sparkling jewels are but dead coals. Therefore it is called The Throne of the Glory of God, where the radiance of the divine Majesty is revealed in the most illustrious manner. God was too bright for me to look upon, as He was exalted on the high throne of His glory, while multitudes of angels and saints sang forth eternal hallelujahs and praises to Him. Well may He be called the God of Glory, for by His presence He makes heaven what it is. Rivers of pleasure continually spring forth from the divine Presence, and radiate cheerfulness, joy, and splendor to all the blessed inhabitants of heaven, the seat of His eternal empire.

OVERWHELMED BY GLORY

For my own part, I was too weak to bear the least ray of glory which shot from that everlasting Spring of Light which sat upon the throne. I was forced to cry out to my conductor, "The sight of so much glory is too great for me to bear—yet it is so refreshing and delightful that I would desire to look, though I die."

NO DEATH OR SORROW IN HEAVEN

"No, no," said my conductor, "death cannot enter this blessed place, nor sin nor sorrow can abide. It is the glory of this happy place to be forever freed from all that is evil; and without that freedom, our blessedness even here would be imperfect. Come along with me and I will bring you to one who is in the body, as you are. Talk with him for a while before I take you back again.**"

"O rather," I eagerly said, "let me stay here. There is no need of building tabernacles, for the heavenly mansions are already prepared." My shining messenger replied to this, "Here in a while you shall forever be—but the divine will must first be obeyed."

MEETING THE PROPHET ELIJAH

Swift as thought, he conveyed me past thousands of angels, and presented me to that great saint, the prophet Elijah. Though he had lived in the world many hundreds of years ago, I knew him at first sight.

"Here is one," said my conductor to Elijah, "who by the commission of the Imperial Throne has been permitted to visit these realms of light, and I have brought him to you, to learn from you."

"That," said the prophet, "I shall gladly do. For it is our food and drink in these blessed regions, to do the will of God and the Lamb, to sing His praises, and serve Him with the humblest adoration, saying, 'Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him who sits upon the throne; and to the Lamb forever and ever! For He has redeemed us to God by His blood, out of every kindred and tongue, and people and nation, and has made us unto our God kings and priests! Even so, Amen.'" And I likewise added my "Amen" to that of the holy prophet.

HEAVENLY IGNORANCE OF EARTHLY EVENTS

The prophet then asked me why this great permission and privilege was given to me. (By which I understand, that the saints in heaven are ignorant of what is done on earth; so how can prayers be directed to them?) I then told him the events I have already written here, at which the holy prophet broke forth in praise, "Glory forever be given to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, for His unbounded goodness and great condescension to the weakness of a poor and doubting sinner."

PERFECT YET PROGRESSIVE HAPPINESS

After this he said, "Now give attention to what I shall speak. What you have already seen and heard, I am sure you cannot make fully understood to those not yet translated to this glorious place, who have not yet been freed from their earthly bodies. Nor is my being here in the body any objection to what I say; for although it has not been subject to death—yet it has been transformed. It has been made spiritual, and is no longer able to suffer. Yet in this full state of happiness I cannot utter all that I enjoy, nor do I know what shall yet be enjoyed, for here our happiness is always new."

ETERNALLY INCREASING JOY

I then asked the blessed prophet to explain himself. I did not understand how happiness could be complete, and yet still be added to. The following was his reply:

"When the soul and body are both perfectly happy, as mine now are, I count it a complete state of happiness. For throughout all the coming ages of eternity, it is the soul and body joined together in the blessed resurrection state, which shall receive this happiness. But concerning the object of our happiness, which is the ever adorable and blessed God, our vision of Him is forever new. For as the divine perfections are infinite, nothing less than eternity can be sufficient to display their glory. This makes our happiness eternally added to, as well as our knowledge of Him to be eternally progressive also.

"Therefore the apostle Paul said, 'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor can it enter into the heart of man to conceive what God has prepared for those who love him.' Yet the human eye has seen many admirable things in nature. It has seen mountains of crystal, and rocks of diamonds, it has seen mines of gold, and coasts of pearls. Nevertheless, the eye that has seen so many wonders in the world below, could never pry into the glories of this triumphant place.

And though the ear of man has heard many delightful and harmonious sounds, even all that man and nature could supply him with—yet he has never heard the heavenly melody which both saints and angels make before the throne. The heart of man is so excellent and imaginative, that it can conceive almost anything that is, or was, or ever shall be in the world below, and even what shall never be.

Man can conceive that every stone on earth shall be turned into pearls, and every blade of grass into the brightest of shining jewels. He can conceive that the whole earth be turned into a mass of pure gold, and the air turned into crystal. He can conceive every star to become as bright as the sun, and the sun to be a thousand times larger and brighter. But all this is infinitely short of what the eternal Majesty has prepared for all His faithful followers.

Evangelist Yusak Tjipto Jesus Palace

In this powerful testimony, Evangelist Yusak Tjipto Purnomo shares his near-death experience in 1986 when his heart stopped and his spirit left his body. He saw Jesus on the throne, but was told his earthly assignment was not yet complete, and he was sent back to life. Later, he was shown Heaven, where he learned he would live with Jesus in His palace, not have his own home—because of his humble, loyal heart like a dog. The Lord revealed that everyone has unique strengths for His glory and urged all to repent, be baptized, and be filled with the Spirit. He emphasized that our level in Heaven is determined by our obedience and sacrifice on earth. He encourages believers to strive faithfully, as what is written in the Bible is true and eternal.

JESUS HAS A PALACE IN  HEAVEN, EVANGELIST YUSAK TJIPTO PURNOMO OF INDONESIA

Evangelist Yusak Tjipto was born on 12 March 1935 in the city of Jepara in the province of Central Java, Indonesia. Since he was a child, he was forged in the company of the Lord Jesus. The various spiritual journeys he has taken have made him a mature & tested figure.

If we associate with him, we will immediately know that he is a servant who personally knows his Lord. No wonder people even call him God's friend.

Yusak Tjipto and his wife Oei Kiat Nio (Lydia Anggraeni) live in Bandung. They are blessed with 4 children & 9 grandchildren.

THE CALL TO SEE HEAVEN

One time I participated in a service at the Isa Almasih Church, Pringgading Semarang congregation. At that time Pastor Tan Hok Tjoan said, “If you believe in Jesus Christ, then Jesus has prepared a place in Heaven for us. You and I will go to Heaven.”

Hearing that sentence I was not immediately convinced. I had a plan to ask the pastor after the sermon whether he had ever seen Heaven. This was my rebellious nature when I was young. I do not easily accept the content of the sermon. But the Lord immediately reminded me by saying, "Bad boy!"

God defended the pastor because he only preached the contents of the Bible, so he did not do anything wrong. But the Lord immediately commanded me, "Follow Me, right now."

I asked, "Where are You going?"

The Lord replied, "You said you wanted to see heaven?"

“I just asked if the pastor had seen Heaven. It's not me who wants to see Heaven.”

The Lord didn't answer anymore but took me right away. I knew very well that my body was left on that church chair and only my spirit and soul (mind) were carried.

THE GLORY OF PARADISE

In a short time I was taken to Paradise. Incredibly, the light was much brighter than the sun, several hundred times, but it was not glaring nor hot. It was even cooler than the chill of the engine. According to God, it is a light from Himself, because the peace that God gives is not like the peace that other people (in the world) can give.

The grass in the Garden of Eden was amazing, like a thick carpet. If you step on it, it collapses but after that it recovers and they then shout "Halleluia." So everywhere everyone praises God. No wonder the Lord says, "Give thanks in all things." Because if you are being stepped on, it shows you are being processed.

James 1:2-4 My friends, choose to stay happy even when all kinds of troubles come your way, 3 because you know that endurance comes from dealing with challenges to your trust in God. 4 Let your endurance become as strong as possible, so that you will be completely mature, without any shortcomings.

A WALK THROUGH HEAVEN WITH JESUS

So, how did I know that my soul was invited to follow God for a walk to see Heaven? Because the Bible says, "What you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven." I didn't resist the Word.

Strangely, even when in heaven, my inherent nature still appears. While walking with Jesus in the garden, God also knew if I wanted to know how beautiful the faces of angels in Heaven are, because they say angels are beautiful.

God immediately knew about this and simply said, "There is no sin here."

I was still asking God again, "What have I sinned, God?"

The Lord replied, "What were you looking for earlier?"

You know it's a sin to just think about such things. You who are young, realize that you have many thoughts and many attachments.

THE ASSIGNMENT TO TESTIFY

After that the Lord asked, “You see, is everything written in the Bible the same as the reality here? Now come back to the world and testify what you have seen. If those who are still on earth do not believe, they will be the ones to lose themselves, but I will not bring you to account because you have seen it with your mind, soul and spirit."

Then I was told to go back to the world. I didn't want to. I already felt good in heaven, so I was reluctant to go back.

God reminded me, “Your body is still in church."

"Let it be," I replied.

But God still asked me to come back to the world again. For half an hour I was invited by the Lord to walk in Heaven. God asked me to witness it to people.

If God chooses His servants, He chooses them from the beginning. Even though I was conceived by my non-Christian mother; even though I was dumped at that time; even if I am disabled; I was told to experience all things. That's why you don't need to look at your current state, you don't need to be dizzy. Do not make it a problem because God is able to turn curses into blessings.

THE MEASURE OF SPIRITUAL MATURITY

I was shown by the Lord an elderly man who had just converted but became a child in Heaven. At that time there was a class and I was asked to teach. I was shocked and asked God, “How did the old man become a child in Heaven?”

God answered, “Because he had just repented, even though he was over 60 years old.”

So even though you are a grandpa and grandma, but if you are not spiritually mature, then later in Heaven you will be a child. On the other hand, if your grandchildren are more mature in the spiritual world, they will be your elder in Heaven.

What God measures is not your age, but your spiritual level. What God measures is not the number of years you have been a Christian, but whether you are fruitful or not. What God demands is the fruit of the spirit.

God will ask you whether you are fruitful or not. You know that finding a repentant soul is a gift.

When I did evangelism in Kalimantan, there was a mother who was already a child of God, but her husband didn't know Jesus yet. Finally, this mother prayed to ask God to bring her husband to Heaven so that he would repent. That's right, one afternoon, the husband's spirit was taken to Heaven and shown many things about Heaven.

This person was amazed by the state of Heaven. It turns out that everyone in Heaven knows his wife and family but apparently they do not know him, because he is not yet a child of God. So when you go to Heaven someday, everyone there will know your name and they will all greet you. That's why the Bible is written, one person repented, the whole Kingdom of Heaven was cheering. And you will immediately be placed at the level commensurate with the level of your spirituality.

HEAVEN IS DIVIDED INTO SEVERAL LEVELS

Heaven's first level is nothing. There is a large house without rooms that are inhabited by many people. However, it turns out that many of God's servants are in that place, because generally God's servants have stolen God's glory. Also when you enter Heaven level two, everyone will welcome you too.

If you are in the first level of Heaven, for example, and you want to meet the Apostle Peter (whom you immediately recognize without being introduced), you can do that too.

I also told my wife to ask God to show her the state of Heaven. This happened when my wife was about to die. She was also taken to Heaven and met the apostle Peter, the apostle John, and later met Jesus. My wife said she still remembered me, because I was still waiting for her. Then the Lord said, "Remember, you can go home but don't lose your soul." She returned to the world again.

Later if you are in the first level and maybe your child is in the third level, you know each other, but you cannot directly meet. If you want to visit each other, you can do it. If you are from a lower level to go to a higher level of Heaven, then you will automatically be veiled because the higher Heaven is more glorious. You cannot stand it if you go to a higher level of Heaven.

This was proven by someone who was in Hell, and he protested, saying, "Lord, if You are just, send me to Heaven. Why do You keep me in a dark place like this?" God told His angel to take the man to Heaven to know that Jesus loves him.

The angel said, "You keep screaming, now you are called to be taken to heaven." This person feels that he is getting answers and justice. It turned out that that person could not stand the glare of the light in Heaven. Then that person feels fair by being placed in Hell, because when in Heaven all of his sins were a spectacle for many people.

Each part of our body that is often used to sin, each shows its file. He felt everything was stripped naked, so he ended up praising God for being fair. Because if he was placed in Heaven and every time he saw the sins he had committed, then it would be a great suffering for him. He then asked God to return him to the darkest place so that his sins would not be seen.

It is true, that heaven does exist and I have seen and experienced it and met many people there myself. And I was not taken to Heaven only once, but many times.
"Do not be troubled in your heart; believe in God, believe in Me too. In My Father's house there are many dwellings. If not, of course I will tell you. For I am going there to prepare a place for you. And when I go there and have prepared a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with Me, so that where I am you will be also." (John 14: 1–3)

You know that Heaven is many and infinite. If in the first level of Heaven, there are large houses, then on the higher levels there will begin to be houses for individuals. The higher the level in Heaven, the more extraordinary the equipment. One time, my wife was invited by the Lord to see Heaven three times to see her house. At that time I said, "When you visit Heaven again, try asking God to show you your house."

HEAVENLY GARDENS

My wife asked if it was okay to ask something like that. I said yes. That's right, she was finally taken. When God first brought her to Heaven, she didn't even know that her house was shown. The garden in the house is huge, in which there are various plants of flowers and fruit. And it is in accordance with her fondness for flowers and fruit. She does not care about a big house or not, what is more important to her is to have a garden of flowers and fruit.

In the garden in front of my wife's house in Heaven, there are many flower and fruit gardens that are very regular. All kinds of the most delicious fruit in the world were in that garden. This matches what has been written in the Bible. God also asked my wife, "Doesn't it match with what I have said?"

"And the nations will walk in their light, and the kings of the earth will bring their riches to him; and its gates shall not be closed at the time of day, for the night will no longer be there; and the riches and honor of the nations will be brought to him” (Revelation 21: 24–26)

Later in Heaven everything is completely available and can be enjoyed by all without running out and lacking. And if you know, the taste of the fruit in Heaven is truly extraordinary and cannot be found in the world. It smells great too. That which is in heaven is even more delicious and fragrant than anything that is most delicious in the world. And as soon as the fruit is picked, new ones will appear again. Everything is eternal in that glorious Heaven.

But in Heaven do not look for people dressed in strange or colorful colors as in the world. All of them are wearing the glorious garments of God. The conditions are the same as when Adam and Eve were newly created by God. They are also dressed in glory and were not seen naked.

While in Heaven, my wife was also invited to the place of praise. People who in the world like to praise God, later in Heaven will also continue to praise God. My wife said, "In Heaven there is a very big place to praise God. And that great place is divided for the inhabitants of Heaven according to their level of existence."

When she saw her house, she felt strange because she saw that the flowers in her future home garden had not yet bloomed. It turned out that the flowers would only bloom when my wife returned to Heaven. The flowers will greet her with joy. And she in Heaven will not be lonely, because if she wants to meet neighbors, she can meet directly. If she wants to praise, she will directly enter the place of praise. It's really good, no need to be difficult in Heaven.

I DIED, BECAUSE MY HEART STOPPED

Then in 1986, when I was serving in Surabaya, my heart stopped. This time it wasn't paralysis, but my heart was like being attacked again. It seemed that I only took three breaths and died immediately. I knew I was dead because I realized that my spirit was leaving my body. Then my spirit cried out to the Lord, "My Lord, I am coming home." The sky immediately opened, and the light of Heaven was amazingly bright.

I saw the Lord Jesus sitting on the throne, extraordinarily majestic. Hearing me screaming to go home, Jesus just smiled, and said, “Your job is not finished. Finish your assignment first, then in time I will pick you up Myself.”

God is so dear to me. I myself do not understand, because a person like me is nothing.

"You have not fulfilled what I have given you," said the Lord.

I said, "My heart has stopped." I thought I was in such a state that God would grant me to keep going home.

It turned out that God said, "It doesn't matter."

God then sent a light as big as a marble. And strangely, the light from Heaven to my body was still one marble in size. Then I was made alive by God again. My spirit was put into my body again.

So actually dying in God is fun, even in the Bible it is written in:

Revelation 14:3, “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’ ‘Yes,’ says the Spirit, ‘that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.’”

THE EVANGELIST WANTS A HOME IN HEAVEN 

One time I was taken to Heaven because of my wife. When my wife saw her future home in Heaven, I was jealous. All my siblings have been given a house, but where is my prospective house? I felt like I was abandoned by God.

The Lord answered, “You do not have a home.”

I replied, "Why? I have been preaching like this. Why don't You give me a house?"

"No," answered the Lord.

I cried, but I wasn't angry with God or demanded my rights.

The Lord after that just said, "Can you not see My palace?"

Before arriving at God's palace, I passed several large houses that were nice and had large yards. There was even a connecting bridge that is large and wide the size between provinces. I wondered why there is such a big bridge. God said that in Heaven there is no limit of time and space.

Then the Lord asked again, "Yusak, which is better? The one who builds or the one who inhabits?"

I replied, "Of course it is nice to inhabit it because those who build it will not necessarily occupy it."

It turned out that then God said, “You will not have your own house in Heaven but you would live with Jesus in His palace.”

Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out.

Revelation 14:4 These are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.

God said, “As long as you were in the world, you always say you are My servant, like a dog. Therefore you will always stay with the Lord. So you will live with Me."

Now I ask, “Will there be dogs in heaven?”

The answer is, “Yes, there are.” So if you in this world love dogs or other animals, then in heaven you can have them. God provides the best for all of us. Because the Lord Jesus Himself has said, if we are humbled, we will be lifted up.

Then I said to God, “If what I saw was true then I asked for confirmation so that God would also reveal to other servants of God that I would live with God one day.”

That's right, one time I met a servant of God. He said that I was a servant who was loved by God. He said that someday I would live with God. The vision was given when the servant of God was given the opportunity to visit Heaven and there he saw me staying with Jesus in His palace. Then I asked, "Why did God choose someone like me to have this reward?"

The Lord said, “You know, there is nothing good in you, you are nothing more than a dog. Your impurity and filth are extraordinary. But there is only one good in you, you are as loyal as a dog. That is your strength, you are loyal to Me. That is why I love you, I took you because you are loyal."

EVERYTHING IN HEAVEN IS ETERNAL

Each of you has your own advantages. Don't worry, God will use your strengths in His plan so that His glory is revealed in your life and mine. You and I are part of the body of Christ. You can glorify God's name because you are fulfilling God's plan. There is no need to be afraid because your name is already written in the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is fulfilled! There are three signs on earth namely blood, water and spirit. You must be baptized with water, you must be full of the Spirit and you must be redeemed by the blood of Jesus. Without it, how can you be redeemed? Namely by repenting. Without repentance it is impossible.

Because if your name was not previously listed, it is already listed. If you have not been converted, there will be consequences for yourself later. You cannot go straight to heaven except for the person on the cross, because God said, "Today you are with Me." At that time God was still in the world.

You check yourself with each other. You do not need to look at which church you are from, as long as you know the truth. So if you have actually been assigned by God in Heaven level three, and then given a task by God that you can complete, then God will gladly raise you to a higher place.

But when you are in Heaven, you won't be able to study and then level up. In Heaven everything is eternal, if you are in the third level, it is impossible to move to another level. If you want to upgrade, then you have to pay in the world. Therefore you must compete to reach your position in Heaven.

BE FAITHFUL TO THE END

You have nothing to lose to be a Christian because what is written in the Bible is true and it certainly happens, I have seen it myself. And God has told me myself to testify to what I have experienced so that it can also be experienced by other people, so that what was prophesied by the Prophet Joel, "Old people will dream and young children will have visions." You can also experience what I have experienced, so that God's glory will become real.

Evangelist Yusak Tjipto Purnomo completed his work and went home to the Lord on Thursday 23-06-2016 at the age of 81. AMEN.

Aston Mbaya 11 Cities of Paradise

Aston was shown by the Lord a vision of Heaven’s 47,000 cities, filled with incomprehensible beauty, light, and eternal joy prepared for the saints who live in holiness and obedience. He witnessed the reward of the faithful, the transfiguration of the saints into beings of light, and the abandoned mansions of those who failed to overcome sin despite serving God on Earth — including King Solomon’s empty palace, a tragic reminder of wasted spiritual inheritance. The Lord emphasized the need for daily holiness, repentance, and evangelism so believers may inherit their heavenly rewards and not be cast into outer darkness after death.

Eduardo Mendez 1 Angels in Space

The testimony reveals how spiritual warfare is real and ongoing, especially against churches and believers who live in holiness, pray, and fast. The devil ignores worldly, lukewarm churches but actively targets those who seek God. The speaker shares how his wife was delivered from vanity after a divine vision where Jesus instructed her on modesty and holiness. The Lord warned him to resist worldly pressure and to keep preaching truth, reminding the church to remain in the Spirit until the end because the devil’s goal is to destroy families and prevent believers from entering heaven.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE AND THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT

Hello Beloved, people may think that I am crazy but I see things. I hear voices of the light of heaven. I hear angelic and heavenly voices. I hear the voice of God. They think that I am crazy, but we are crazy for the kingdom and we are here to seek souls and to seek the salvation of men in the land of the living. The apostle Paul spoke to the church to warn them about war in the air, and the church in the end time is involved in a spiritual war.

Beloved, the church in this time is involved in a spiritual struggle for we no longer have to war against neighbors nor against friends. Today the struggle of Christians is against Satan who is reprimanded in the name of Jesus. Remember that the Apostle Paul comes from a church where he used to fight and kill brothers in the flesh, but when he met Christ, the Apostle Paul revealed a spiritual war that is raging in the air. This war is also happening on the earth and the sea, a battle that is raging over the universe for 24 hours nonstop.

Months ago I was lying down. I had just prayed to the Lord to touch me. After praying for some time, immediately I heard the Lord saying, “Eduardo, get up. I want to take you to a place.”

Suddenly, my beloved brother, in a blink of an eye, I was in glory. At the same time, the Lord extended his hand to me. I got up from the bed. I heard the Holy Spirit telling me, “Eduardo, get ready because we're going to fly.”

I was astonished when He said that. I wonder why is He telling me to get ready for we're going to fly. In my mind, I thought maybe it was the day of the trumpet for the rapture of the church. I thought the last trumpet of God had sounded when suddenly, my beloved brother, we started flying and we went up. We traveled to the first heaven, then the second, finally the third heaven.

When we began this journey I asked the Lord, “Where are you taking me?” He says, “I want you to see something.”

Immediately, we started flying, my beloved brother, into incredible speed. I was watching the stars and the sky. I was observing everything in the universe. But I saw thousands and thousands of stars. We were flying in space. And I saw that we were crossing the clouds, and we entered the second heaven, where I saw thousands and thousands of shadows that moved around, and there was a lot of movement there.

But when we reached the third heaven, everything was peaceful and there was tranquility. When we got to the third heaven, I saw that my feet did not touch the ground as we were suspended in the air.

THE ARMY OF HEAVEN

The Spirit of God said, “I want to take you to a place precisely to the heavenly camp of the host of the army of heaven, where there are war chariots of the army of God. We are going to the location of the command base and the headquarters of the warrior angels of God’s armies. I'm going to take you to that heavenly field to visit the army of the kingdom of heaven where they are soldiers and warriors and you will see.”

Suddenly, my beloved brother, we started moving into the paradise of God. And in the distance I was able to see a very beautiful hill of paradise. And when I looked I saw hundreds of heavenly mansions and houses like camping. They were different from terrestrial construction. All the cottages were ordered neatly.

When we arrived, and I stood in a very beautiful pasture, very green. As I stood in this beautiful pasture, suddenly I saw a powerful bright angel that had no wings showing up before me. In fact, I saw two types of angels in heavens, and the Holy Spirit told me, “These are archangels and angels.”

Then He told me, “You have to observe this angel that had no wings. Eduardo, I'll show you what you have to know.”

Actually, this angel had a white garment, but what caught my attention is that on his chest, he had a breastplate that said, “Holiness of God.”

He had a very beautiful sword with diamond inlaid. This archangel had a sword forged in gold. When he arrived he raised the sword as a sign of respect for the Holy Spirit of God.

Straight away the angel took me to a place in paradise that was the headquarter of the host of the army of heaven. Suddenly, I started to observe that these hosts of heaven were dressed in white garments. Every one of them was dressed in golden armor, which was awesome. They seemed prepared for battle.

However, I came to understand that when these warriors angels were not deployed in the war, they spend time in praise, worship, and dancing to God, for I saw them singing for God. They sang for the Lamb of God who is their victory for centuries after centuries. I watched as they went around and dance. They danced with their pearls in their hands.

I observed an angel. Instead of taking his sword he took his tambourine. At that moment, they altered their musical instruments, they began to sing like a heavenly choir very beautiful. They were giving glory to the Lamb of God. They did not stop singing. And they did not cease to give glory to the Lamb of God.

THE SOUND OF WAR IN HEAVENLY REALMS

When suddenly I saw one of these archangels who had wings. He was standing beside the Spirit of God. He told me, “You're going to see something, Eduardo. Get ready because I'm going to take you to a level of glory that your eyes have not seen.”

Straight away the Archangel that was holding the shofar began to sound it. As the Archangel sounded the shofar, immediately the war angels that were praising God took their swords, I saw all the angels of battle began to line up in battle formation. They form alignment for battle.

The Spirit of God told me, “Eduardo, get ready because you're going to witness war in the air.”

Suddenly, the angelic troops that were lined up in formation disappeared, and I saw them no more. These regiments of warrior angels were deployed. I heard them no more though there was a strong wind.

At that moment, we started moving in incredible speed. In fact, we descended to the second heaven where there was a deadly war of Angels and Demons.

My beloved brother, angels were fighting continuously and I came to understand that they fought for us. They made use of their swords. You have to know that the war of angels is connected to the prayer of the saints on the earth and they want us to pray. The more we pray, the stronger they get and the easier for them to win the war. In these critical times of the end, we must spend time in prayer and we must always pray without ceasing.

In the war against the legions of space, I saw the archangels holding chains in order to bind the demons. Angels of battle made use of their swords unsheathed. They will roar at battle and screaming and demons fell into the holes.

THE PURPOSE OF THE BATTLE

I wanted to know the reason for this battle and why this fuss. The Spirit of God told me to keep watching. I watched the angels who fought and fought when suddenly there was an opening in the sky and the glorious glow of light came down from the third heaven illuminating the dark space.

The Spirit of God told me, “Eduardo, the angels are fighting this battle because something big, a miracle is coming for someone in the land.”

The Spirit of God say, “Eduardo, every time there is going to be a miracle, every time you are going to save someone, every time a believer is going to get an answer to his prayer, the war angels have to fight. The scene of war in the firmament that you are witnessing happen every day and day after day, from time to time, and for someone to be touched, for someone to be released and for someone to be saved. And for a believer to get an answer to this prayer, there is a battle and a war in the firmament between the warrior angels and the legion of air.”

THE POWER OF PRAYER IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE

“Many people in the church do not realize this for they do not see it. God’s people pray and receive answers, but they do not see the battle in space by the war angels against the legions of air that happen so they can receive the miracle. In fact, there is a battle going on for every soul on the earth and every man in the spirit world.”

In this war in the air, prayer cause the angels of war to have an upper hand in this battle. The more you pray, the more victorious the angels will be in this battle. When you slack in prayer, the angels of war will not have the upper hand.

THE ORIGIN OF SPIRITUAL WAR IN THE HEAVENS

The Spirit of God told me, “Come, I will take you to see what has caused this war. I will show why this war erupted in the firmament.” Suddenly, we began to move at great speed and we traveled down from the second heaven and we entered the first heaven. I saw the cloud of the earth. Then I saw in the land, a pastor in his house, on his knees in prayer.

I saw this man of God in prayer, and I heard him saying, “In the name of Jesus Christ, all the principalities, all the governors and powers of the region, the strong man and his allies and all spirit adverse, you are bound and discarded in the name of Jesus Christ. I demolish the entire fortress of the enemy and all obstacles.”

My brothers, this is the prayer of authority and words from the man of God that has caused the war that broke out in space causing a big mess in the second heaven.

The Spirit of Lord told me, "This prayer is the cataclysm that has caused the battle you saw. Every time you spend time in prayer, angels of war will be assembled and deployed against legions of air. And the more you pray, the stronger the angels get."

The Spirit of God told me, "I want you to see what's coming down when you pray."

My beloved brother, I saw the glory of the Lamb coming down. It was actually a fresh anointing in the form of oil that left heaven falling to the head of the man of God that was praying.

The Spirit of God told me, “Every time someone fights spiritual battles and spends time in prayer, I give him anointing from heaven to be strong because he released anointing and he needs to be recharged so that he will not weaken. And that charge is the anointing of oil coming from the third heaven. Every time someone fights this battle, I give him something new to hunt in a new anointing.”

THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD

The Lord said, “Mr. Eduardo, you must take the armor and do not abandon it. Take your shield and take your sword; wear your shoes on the feet. Take the breastplate.”

The Lord say, “Eduardo, take your helmet and never release it. Do not be like most believers today - they take the shield tomorrow, they abandon it. They take the sword today and tomorrow they take off their shoes. The armor of God has to be complete. If you do not have the armor of God, you are not going to be able to fight. When the church prays in spiritual battle, there is war in heaven. For when the church fights the war angels also fight. Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven. That's why it's important to hear from God in this war.”

SPIRITUAL WARFARE AND THE HOME

The Spirit of God told me, “Do not let the enemy within your home for many of God’s children have allowed the enemy to enter their homes. There are many who let the devil take over their houses. Their husbands in the house must fight in prayer to prevent the enemy from entering this home. You are not the tail for God put you as the head. When the devil enters a home, he crashes the economy and the finance of the family. There will be hunger, you are going to have shortages, you are going to diminish and your family will be lost. Because the devil first begins by taking away the economy and closing the doors. Then the woman would get up against the man and telling him there's no money and nothing to eat, go to work.”

The Spirit of God led me to see this scenario. And the demon laughed in the room of this family. There was a devil that was led to the house through open door and legality. He was given an entry and he destroyed the finance of the family. And he caused the woman to rise against the man. The male of this home lost his authority because of unemployment. He was frustrated and he did not want to come to worship God in church anymore.

Beloved, the cares of this world may take you to hell. When you let the devil in your house, he is going to steal from your family. The devil has risen in the end time to destroy families. The devil has risen against families which is God’s institution.

While the devil attacks the desperate husband there will be a rupture between man and the woman. In bed, they slept angrily, the man turns on one side and the woman to the other side. And I saw the devil sleeping in the middle of their bed and he was laughing, but he has laid with them.

The following day the woman stood and she was shouting at the man. Desperately, the man was trying to defend, but how are you going to do it in the flesh, if you do not raise your hands and if you do not kneel to pray and get into the spiritual world?

DESCENT TO HELL

After that experience, the Holy Spirit of God again came to me and He told me, “Eduardo, I'm going to take you to hell.”

On that day I had just prayed like I have not before. My sister was sleeping. I barely touched my bed when I heard the Lord say, “Get up and let's go.”

I started moving with the Lord. And He took me to a hill where there was a cave. And in that cave, He told me, “This is one of the entries, one of the doors of hell. Come, let's go and enter.”

We began to enter the cave and it got darker. When we were moving, the Lord says, “Do not have fear.”

Suddenly we got to hell. And there was a huge gate that said, “Welcome to hell, the place of torment.”

And there were two huge gates like this very large. But when the Lord got there, the door opened automatically, for He can go in and out. He has the keys of hell and He has the authority over death in His hands.

When we entered, the Lord said, “I'm going to take you to this place to reveal something different.”

Immediately, we started to get through the caves. In fact, they were caves inside caves. I saw many caves and it was dark. Suddenly, my beloved brother, we came to a door that opened automatically. The first thing my eyes saw that in the heart of hell was a table. A very large stone table. In front of the stone table was a throne of stone. But I noticed a black cloud that covers it.

The Lord told me, "Eduardo, extend your hand towards the throne."

And when I extended my hand towards the throne, I was able to see an inscription on that throne as I saw a glow of light coming out of the center of my hands. From this place, I saw coming out something like a hollow. In fact, I saw the devil sitting on his throne in hell. I was surprised, my beloved brother because from my hand was a resplendent central light illuminating the throne of Satan and hell.

The Lord rebuked him as he was sitting on his throne with his staff in his hand. The devil started screaming at me and said, “Damn dog.”

The Lord Jesus Christ came with a staff and He placed it in front of him and said, “Do not touch him.”

The devil said to the Lord, “Give me permission to touch him for a minute. I'm going to tear him to pieces. I will tear this dog apart. He has caused a lot of damage. He is going to churches telling them to read the Bible, to spend time in prayer and to look for God’s face.”

“And when these churches pray, the kingdom of hell trembles and shakes. There is no need to be a large church to make hell tremble. Just a small church spending time in front of the King of kings can cause the kingdom of hell to tremble.”

STRATEGIES OF THE ENEMY

Goliath was not the problem for David knew he could defeat him because his problem was already solved in the name of Jehovah. David had that revelation of the spiritual world.

The devil asked the Lord the permission to touch me, but the Lord refused. Immediately I saw the devil surrounding me and he told me, “I'm going to tear you apart. I'm going to kill you for you are a dog, damn prophet. I'm going to make war against you and I'm going to kill you.”

The devil kept saying to the Lord, “Please let me touch him. He is not perfect. He has mistakes and flaws yet you take care of him and you love him.”
And the Lord said to Satan, “Keep quiet. If I take care of him, it's because of My love and My mercy.”

Finally, my beloved brother, I saw Satan summoning his governors, his principalities and powers. The devil began to call his hosts.

The Lord told me, “I want you to observe what is going to happen here.”

We stood on one side and I saw Satan enraged, full of anger. He gathered and told his governors, “Go out and make war against these churches that fast and pray. Churches that do not obey God must be ignored because they belong to us already. This war is against churches that are trying to obey Christ. Go now, go.”

Immediately I saw governors, principalities, and powers in motion for they started to go out. The principalities began to come out and the powers began to come out as well. And then I saw the host of Satan appearing before the devil and to get precision about their mission.

One of them, a powerful demon came to Satan and said, “Lord, what is my commission?”

The devil said, “Become a human and get in the church and start dividing them, put them one against the other.”

Then another demon appeared before the devil, who told him, “Put on a miniskirt and try to seduce these shepherds.”

And the other demon showed up. The devil said, “This is your assignment. Become rebellious and begin to get in church.”

He asked the devil, “Which church?”

Satan said, “The churches that fast and pray. They are the ones who are causing us a headache, those that are looking for the presence of their God. Go and destroy their fences. Go to war against them.”

Suddenly, my beloved brother, they started to get out and the devil started to laugh and said, “You see this, I raised a stone wall before my throne. And you are sixth on the list of names of many pastors who are making war against my kingdom. And in the other stone, I have written the names of shepherds that are already going to hell. They already fell from grace for they started in the spirit and they ended up in the flesh walking in debauchery. Their churches are mine because they are my trophies.”

THE DANGERS OF SPIRITUAL CARELESSNESS

When a Christian live a life of prayer, when a Christian is always fasting, when a Christian always read the Bible, he is regarded as a trophy in hell and every demon would seek to win his soul. That's why you have to be vigilant.

If you started in the spirit and now you're in the flesh, the enemy has taken your soul to hell. You live in sin and you think you are going to heaven. Brothers, do not believe that.

The devil told me, “I'm going to make war against you. I'm going to tear you apart. I'm going to destroy you if you neglect for a second your daily devotion of prayer, if you neglect for a minute your daily obligation of Bible reading, I will enter and I'm going to kill your wife. You neglect for a second your walk with God, I will kill your children. I will tear them to pieces and I will torture them seven times more cruelly than you think. I'm going to torture you seven times more. This is for you if you neglect your devotion.”

Then the Lord said, “Son, get up, be on the alert and warn My church. Alert My people so that they may rise up because the enemy does not want them to come to My kingdom. Tell My people to prepare in fasting and in prayer. They must wage this war. Do not let yourself be seduced.”

POWERS AND GOVERNORS OF HELL AGAINST THE CHURCH

I saw powers and governors of hell that came out before the throne of Satan one after the other asking about churches to be targeted. They said, “What about those churches that are going like a bucket of cold water? What about those churches where they praise their God and they paint themselves with makeup where women put pants.”

The devil said, “I have them in my hand and they are already mine. There is nothing more to do against them. I do not care about them. I am worried about churches that fast and pray, those who live in holiness. These are the churches that worry me. Go and corrupt them.”

THE TRUTH ABOUT VANITY AND WOMEN

I'm going to say something to women, for I like to preach the truth. With all due respect, I'm going to tell you with all the love in the world that I do not come to change you. Christ loves you. He is the one who can change you. When you paint yourself, you tell your God, “You made me imperfect. I should not be like this and this is how I need to look like.”

I saw in the spirit world how the devil comes and tells women in their ears that they are very ugly. I saw it in the spirit. I saw and heard a demon laughing at my wife. I was praying for four years for my wife to remove those skirts and makeup. I had four years of battling with vanity spirit.

At some point my wife told me, “If you keep preaching that message, I'm going to continue painting my face.”
I said to her, “I will keep preaching that message. Neither you nor anyone nor the devil is going to change this message.”

GOD’S RESPONSE TO VANITY THROUGH A VISION

Suddenly, in a dream, after four years of battle and prayer, the Holy Spirit came and said, “Come, I want you to observe something.”

In this vision, I believe that what I saw was an unclean spirit that said to my wife, “You are very ugly, you need makeup.”
I challenged the unclean spirit and I made threats and I rebuked him.

I said, “My wife is beautiful to me.”

In that same night, God manifested Himself in a dream and told my wife how a Christian lady should dress. On that day when my wife woke up, she was crying and she told me, “I saw a long skirt, a decent blouse.”

Jesus told her, “If you want to please Me, you are going to dress like this.”
She told Jesus, “I have never used these kinds of clothes.”
The Lord told her again, “If you want to please Me, you're going to dress like this.”

Since that visitation, my wife began to dress decently. People came and told me, “Brother, why do you let your wife dress like a Hungarian woman?”
They said, “Brother, your wife looks like a nun. She dressed old fashioned.”

THE REWARD FOR OBEDIENCE

The audible voice of Christ told me to resist all pressure and the things of this world because there is a great reward.

Christ has sent me in these times to tell the church to prepare because the devil does not want them to go to heaven. But Christ has raised me to tell you to fight this war in order to go to the kingdom of the heavens. You begin in the Spirit and you must end in the Spirit.
