Isaac Mayele 2

A supernatural visit including teachings about the end times and angels carrying out roles such as protection, healing, purification, and blessing believers, while emphasizing the importance of holiness, prayer, church attendance, repentance, and faithful stewardship. The spiritual condition of humanity, the reality of heaven and hell, and a divine message that the human body is intended to be God's temple, warning that sin, worldly desires, and spiritual compromise can separate people from God. The central message is a call to total surrender to Christ, spiritual vigilance, and preparation for eternity.

HEAVEN VISIT: THE MYSTERIES OF ANGELS, BLESSINGS, HUMAN BODIES AS GOD’S TEMPLES

Brothers and sisters, before telling you my experience, I would like to read the Scripture for I was raptured to Heaven and Hell on 25 occasions and I saw mysteries of the heavenly world.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 12:-3 I know a man in Christ fourteen years before (whether in the body, I do not know; or outside of the body, I do not know; God knows) such a one was caught up to the third Heaven. And I know such a man (whether in the body or outside of the body, I do not know; God knows).

Brother, I was a member of the Pentecostal Church of God called God is Good. At the age of 14, I was visited by the Chief Angel Gabriel who told me, “Isaac, God is about to do a work in your life, prepare yourself.”

It was many years later when we were praying for my sister who had a delivery issue that the Lord fulfilled His promise.

The Lord took my spirit for three days, for I was in a coma for three days and three nights. I saw the celestial world. I saw the infernal kingdom of darkness in the place of torment. And I spoke with Jesus Christ Himself. Actually, when I fell into a coma, I saw a person who was inside a radiant and brightening light. I asked him, “Tell me, who are you? What is your identity?”

The man that was covered and surrounded by radiant light said to me, “Isaac, can you remember when you were 14 years old, I told you that God would use you and that you should prepare yourself? I am the angel Gabriel, the Angel of blessing and the prince of paradise. I am the angel who announced the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ and the birth of John the Baptist.”

I was talking to the Archangel Gabriel when we started climbing a staircase of light, where I saw numerous bright angels mounting to Heaven and descending to Earth. We were rising in the staircase that was reaching the heavenly world when the angel Gabriel showed me the Lord Jesus Christ who stood at the end of the staircase. He was dressed in white.

LANGUAGES IN HEAVEN

The Lord Jesus Christ called me by my name and talked to me. Actually, God does not speak our language. God has His own language. I was speaking to Him in my native language. But in truth, God was speaking to me in His own language. I received the communication in my language for God has His own language, which differs from the angels. When God speaks to angels, they understand Him in their angelic language. On the other hand, God has given men the ability to speak the language of angels. God’s children are unable to speak the celestial language.

FOCUS ON PREACHING ON END TIMES

The Lord Jesus said to me, “Isaac, you are here because I have chosen you to serve Me. I have called you for great work. You will go tell the world that I am about to come back. Many of My servants are not warning My people about My return. You will tell them to preach the message of the Rapture. They must preach about Heaven and Hell, for many of My children have their attention focused on futile and passing things of this temporary world. My servants are preaching about material things whereas I said to seek first the kingdom of God. There is nothing bad about material prosperity. But what is the point of getting all the goods of this world if you lose your soul? Seek first My kingdom.” The Lord said, “Given that you are living in the end time, you must preach about the end-time message.”

MINISTRY OF ANGELS

When the Lord finished addressing me, I kept observing numerous bright angels moving in this staircase of light. I was with Gabriel in this staircase among innumerable angels amounting to Heaven and going down to Earth.

Then the angel Gabriel began to talk to me about the ministry of angels. He said to me, “When we execute our assignments on the Earth, we often take human form. When God’s judgment was about to hit the city of Sodom and Gomorrah, we intervened physically. If Abraham failed to receive angels he would not have known about the judgment that was to befall the city of Sodom and Gomorrah. Angels are servants working through the power of God in the name of Jesus. People know more about demons than angels, yet angels are numerous.”

ANGELS OF PROTECTION

As we were among angels, Gabriel went on to show me the captain of the army of God, the chief Angel, Michael, that wage war in the lives of God's children. Gabriel was talking about the battle and protection of the chief Angel Michael when suddenly I began to see the Earth. I saw a man on the Earth praying. When he had finished praying, I saw this man committing sin and doing evil. Immediately I saw that his angel left him.

I asked Gabriel, “Why has the angel of God left this man?” Gabriel told me, “This man is practicing sin. That is why the angel of protection left him.” The Bible says that the glory of God is upon them that fears him. Surely His salvation is near those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land. (Psalm 85:9)

ANGELS OF HEALING

After talking to Michael, we continued to climb the stairs where numerous bright angels were going up and down. Then I saw another Bright Angel whose body was adorned with brilliant light and he seems to be covered by stars. This angel came to me and he opened my head and began to perform an operation in my head. He was actually removing negative thought patterns, thoughts of distraction and evil thinking.

Then he closed my head after performing the operation. I was informed that this was the chief Angel Raphael who is in charge of health in the heavenly world. This Archangel informed me that there were many angels working with him in the Department of Health and Healing.

The Archangel said, “Whenever a servant of God pray for healing in the lives of God's people, we come and perform healing and surgery. We come only in the name of Jesus Christ, which is like a stamp of our kingdom.”

ANGELS OF CHURCH BLESSINGS

Then Archangel Gabriel, who is the angel of blessing showed me another powerful Archangel in this staircase of light, who was in charge of the church on Earth. Basically, this powerful Archangel had many servants, angels deployed in many churches on the Earth.

When I began to talk to this Archangel, he began to reveal to me his assignment in the body of Christ, and in the blink of an eye, the Archangel took him me to the Earth in a local church, where I saw a pastor writing and setting up a new program in a church. The pastor determined the hours of this new service in his church.

As the man of God was writing, I saw that he was writing the day of the service, the opening and ending time of this new service. While this pastor was writing, I noticed another angel standing around him taking note about the detail of the new service. The angel wrote the day, the time and the hours of this new service. When this man of God had finished writing about the time of the new program, I saw the angel of God that stood beside him going up to Heaven with a report about the new service that is to start in this church.

Not long after that, I saw the pastor announcing to the congregation about the program that is to begin soon in the church. The pastor announced the opening and closing times.
On that day when the new service began, I saw bright angels that descended to the church. Immediately one radiant Angel began to write the names of people coming to church on time. I saw one of these angels giving the blessing to the members of this congregation that came to church early. Each member of this local church that came before time and in time received a package of blessing.

However, many members of this church were late and they failed to come to church. Immediately the Archangel of the church took me to the houses of the members of this local church, for there was intense demonic activity in the hours of church services. I saw numerous demons around the church in the neighborhood that worked to stop people from coming to church. And I saw demons at work in the houses of many God’s people, causing them to come to church late and lose their blessing.

This is a special type of demons that work to prevent God's people from coming to church early and these unclean spirits cause God's children to miss the church. They are demons that always patrol the Earth in the day and hours of church service in order to stop God’s people from attending the church.

As we were visiting houses of the members of this local church, I saw a lady that was dressed in order to come to church, but she was taking her time and looking in the mirror despite the fact that she was late.

Immediately I heard the voice of the Lord saying to me, “My children do not respect Me. They think that they can come to church anytime and at any moment. There is no reverence and respect towards Me.” I saw God's children cooking and taking their time and planning to come to church late deliberately.

The Lord said, “When people have an appointment with a government minister, they make sure that they keep the time for they know that they will receive gifts and money, but My children come to My appointment late yet I am the One who gave them the breath of life. They ignore My greatness. When My angel comes at the beginning of the service, they come with blessing, money, protection. My angels prevent accidents when My children are crossing many roads and boulevards. My children will still receive blessings when they are late for church if they are caught up in traffic that is not their fault.”

Then the Archangel of God told me, “You must be careful about people who come to visit you during the time of the service. They are sent by demons to stop you from coming into God's presence.”

On that day when people came to church on time, they got blessings distributed by angels. Throughout the service, angels were active. During offering time the Lord showed me angels coming down in the church. The angel wrote the names of those who gave their offering in good heart and took their names to Heaven.

The angel took me to paradise and he showed me a beautiful house that was empty for I saw no furniture and there was no glory inside. I wondered.

The angel told me this man was a thief in terms of offerings and tithes. The angel said he has saved his soul but he was not faithful in tithes and offerings.

In the celestial world I was shown a stupendous building upon which was written the Bank of Heaven. The Bible says, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on Earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)

I was shown the place where were stored goods that we give people in double heart. These goods were smelly and ruined.

Then the Archangel tells me that it is a powerful blessing when a man of God rises to close the church service with a closing prayer. Therefore God's children must not leave the service before the pastor’s prayer. Those who leave the church service without attending the closing prayer leave without blessing and without special protection.

The Archangel tells me there are demons that work to cause God's children to leave the service before the last prayer and they attack those who leave the service before the closing prayer. The Archangel told me, “All these angels that you see at work in the church during the service are under my responsibility. They are my servants and I am the servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Brother, I was three days in the heavenly world and I saw the mysteries of Heaven. And when I came back, I could not recognize people for six months, including my own mother. In the end, the Lord restored my memory.

After showing me his mission on the Earth, this Archangel took me back to Heaven. We stood on a plane, it was a mountain of paradise.

THE WORLD IN TOTAL DARKNESS

And he began to show me the Earth which was covered by total darkness. There was absolute darkness. He said to me, "Isaac, observe the Earth. When I looked, I saw that the whole Earth was in darkness, and I saw people of all nations and countries in darkness and I asked why is that the whole planet is in darkness.

The Archangel said, "The total darkness that you see filling the Earth is the work and the activity of Satan who wants to take the whole world to Hell. He wants the whole humanity to join him in the lake of fire.”

I was observing darkness on Earth, and I saw men and women in bars, in hotels, in nightclubs. Then the angel of the Lord showed me a wide and massive road where millions of people were walking upon. The angel said, "The majority of the world population are walking in this wide road leading to the abyss of fire.”

Make no mistake, the situation is grave and dangerous for humanity. You cannot imagine what I saw. This reality that I saw was mind-blowing for me. It is beyond imagination and understanding. I came to understand that most of the people who died on the Earth go to Hell. I saw people dying on the Earth and landing on the wide road leading to the Abyss of fire and they were numerous.

I was shaken and horrified. Every day thousands of people died and go to Hell. Few go through the narrow gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life. And only a few find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)

THE BOOK WRITTEN BEFORE THE CREATION

Later on, the Lord Jesus joined us and then the Lord took me to a place where He showed me a book in which the writings and letters were in gold.

The Lord says, "The book that you see is the one that is ruling the world. In the beginning when nothing was made before creation, when there was no man and no sun, prior to the creation of the world, I had already determined what was supposed to happen in the new world to be created. Everything that is happening now, in the past and in the future are written in this book. Whatever is supposed to happen in your lives throughout the years were written in advance in this book. Nothing's that is happening in the world escaped My memory and My awareness. Nothing will miss My design, My plan, and agenda. Anyone who is led by My Spirit dwelling in him to lead him, nothing bad will happen to him, because I know what has to happen in the day throughout the week and throughout the year.”

The Lord said, "There are many of God's servants that have deviated recently from My way because of the desire of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.”

The Lord said, “I will show you a servant of mine that I have used on the Earth but who lost his salvation because of the lust of the eyes. He had done great things on the Earth but because of the glory of this world, he lost his soul.”

The Lord showed me a famous preacher. “He wanted to have the prestige of this world and he lost his soul. He was misled by other corrupt preachers that were in Freemasonry. Tell My servants to be careful about the servants that live in prestige and in wealth. They are of the devil and are misleading, authentic servants. Today, many of My servants want glory, notoriety, wealth and prestige. Therefore they are losing their salvation because of the luxury of the world. The glory of this world has caused many servants to lose the way.”

Brothers, I saw many people that were living in sin in Hell, yet they are still alive on the Earth. When I came back, I did not hesitate to tell them face to face so that they would repent. I also saw many God's children in Heaven attending praise and worship before the throne of God. Yet they were still alive on the Earth. Among the spirits of God's children that I saw in Heaven was the American preacher Jimmy Swaggart.

The Lord said, "My servant, Jimmy Swaggart is already in Heaven despite the fact that he is alive on the Earth. The road to Heaven is open. The gates of Heaven are open for him. Many people despised him because of the sin that he had confessed and repented from, yet I had forgiven him and he is already in Heaven. If he were to die today, he would be in My presence in Heaven.

Then the Lord showed me the international evangelist TL Osborn, who also made it to Heaven. This evangelist had a passion for souls. He had compassion for the lost. He has gone from one country to another for the good news of the Gospel.

The Lord said, "Tell people on the Earth they can repent while they are alive in order to enter this glory. They should separate from this world for everything will pass away. The luxury, prestige, and glory of this world will pass away.” Then the Lord began to talk to me about things that lead men to Hell.

THE HUMAN BODY DESIGNED FOR GOD’S HABITATION

Then the Lord said to me, "Servant, I want to talk to you about the configuration of your body and why I made you this way.”

The Lord said, "Right from the beginning, I have designed your body to be My habitation. You must understand that your body is a temple, not just a physical temple, but also a spiritual temple. When I have made your body, My original intent was to dwell in you, for I conceived your body to be My temple.”

The Lord said, "I designed humans this way because I wanted them to be My habitation. I wanted to live fully inside men. Therefore I made you to be My temple and I want to dwell in you.”

The Lord said, "Servant, understand that this temple which is your body has gates and windows which allow Me to enter and dwell in you. And when you open the gates and windows of your temple, understand the demons can also enter and dwell in your body because I made you to be My temple and My habitation. You must make sure you always have the gates, windows and doors of your temple closed in order to prevent the unclean spirits from entering.”

“Tell My children, the way you lead your life on Earth will make you either My temple or the habitation of demons. You are either the temple of God or the residence of demons.”
The Lord said, "When a man comes to Me but continues to live in sin, that means he has not completely surrendered his life to Me. Therefore, I am not completely occupying all the courts of his temple. Some rooms of his temple escape My control because he has failed to surrender completely. He has failed to give Me complete Lordship and control of the other rooms of his temple.”

“Tell My children, unless I control your temple completely, you are not entering the kingdom of Heaven. Your temple which is your body must come under My complete control.”

Then the Lord began to show me the functioning of the body. The Lord began to talk to me about the gates and the windows of the temple, which is our body that is the temple of God.
The Lord said, “The first gate of your temple is your eyes. Your eyes are the gate of the body through which I come in the lives of My people.”

The Lord said, "The eyes are also the gate through which demons enter, dwell and work in the believers.” Jesus said, "When a man lusts after a woman in his heart, he is committing fornication in his heart. And whenever My children are watching TV, whenever they are watching secular music, movies, video games, the enemy can enter their lives through the gate of the ears and dwell in their temple. They must be careful about what they watch.”

The Lord said, “Another gate in the body of men is the ears. In fact, ears are windows. Demons can enter easily through the ears.”

The Lord said, "In spite of the fact that the holes of the ears are little, demons can still enter through the ears for demons are spirits.”

The Lord said, "When you listen to mockery, slandering and the defamation of negative things, demons can enter and dwell in your temple through the ears. When you listen to secular music, devils can enter through your ears and your body. Tell My children, when you sit in the church and you hear My word, when you open your heart, I will come in your body and I will dwell in your temple and I will use you.”

The Lord said, "Servant, you're going to tell My people to offer the members of their bodies to Me, for I want to be hundred percent in control of their lives and their bodies. You will tell My people if I am not occupying their life and their body 100%, they are not entering My kingdom. I want total surrender and total commitment.”

The Lord said, "When you look at a square, you will notice that all the angles of a square are always equal. They have the same measurement and there is harmony. But when you look at a triangle, you will notice that the angles are not equal. There is no harmony.”
The Lord said, "In order to inherit the kingdom of Heaven, My people needs to be broken. They need to be complete like a square. My people must work for their salvation to resemble God in their characters so that they can make it Heaven, but many of My people are failing to change their character.” The Bible says, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, on account of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.” (Romans 12:1)

The Lord said, "Tell My people, if they fail to offer members of their bodies to Me, they are opening gates and windows for the enemy.”

Then the Lord said the sexual organ is also an open door. Those who are in sexual immorality and fornication have opened the door of their temple to the enemy to enter into their bodies. The Lord said, "When people consult the devil for power and wealth, he often tell them to sleep with mad people so that demons and legions dwelling in the bodies of these mad people would be transferred to their bodies. This is the sharing of demons.”

Do you not know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him for God's temple is holy and you are that temple. Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool so that he may become wise. (1 Corinthians 3:16-18) Brother, the Lord is exhorting us to close the gates of our body in order to stop the enemy from entering and causing destruction.

The Lord said, "When demons enter in the body of men, they will establish their thrones. They will walk and the move in the body for they perceive the body of human like a house. Demons perceive the human body like a house.”

The Bible says, “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he walks through dry places seeking rest, and finds none. Then he said, I will return into my house from where I came out. And when he has come, he finds it empty, swept, and decorated. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and live there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so it also shall be to this evil generation.” (Mat 12:43-45)

The Lord began to talk to me about another gate of the body which is our mouth.
The Lord said, "Whenever we use our mouth, to insult, to abuse, to curse and to slander others, we are opening the gates for the enemy to enter. Tell My people to amend their lives for fear of Hell. But when My people hear My word and open their hearts and surrender completely, I will enter and they will not depend on themselves anymore. They will be totally dependent on Me.”

The Lord showed me a temple with three rooms where He was not fully in control. He was only in one room and other rooms of the body were ruled by the devil. The Lord told me, “This man has not surrendered all his life to Me. That is why you can see that I'm not occupying all the rooms in his house. This is the kind of people that are neither cold nor hot and I will vomit them. I cannot accept this kind of person in My kingdom. People must surrender 100% in order to enter the kingdom.”

The Lord asked me, "Isaac, what do you say with your mouth? What do you watch with your eyes? And what is it that your eyes like watching? What is it that you like hearing?”
The Lord said, "Your mouth, your eyes, and your ears are the great doors that will determine whether you inherit the kingdom of Heaven or you lose your crowns of life.”

The Lord said, "I made your eyes like an operator's that is supposed to capture a picture of things that you see and this will be kept in the brain. Whenever you watch something, the images will be kept in the brain. That is why when you lose a loved one, even if it has happened a long time ago, the moment you think about him, you will see his image, you hear his voice, and you see him in action. This is possible because I made men that way. I have made a lot of system in the body of men. However, whatever I made in your body must be used for positive not for evil. It is your action that will lead you to Hell. You're going to tell My people to keep their ears from secular Music because it does not belong to Me but the evil one. Those who hear that music give glory to Satan.”

The Lord said, “Many Gospel songs that you hear in the church, I don't receive them because they are not inspired by My Spirit. My people don't look for My face in order to ask for inspiration. Therefore, there are people doing songs, thanks to demonic power. Many Gospel singers are working with devils and when you hear their songs, you are worshipping the devil.” Then the Lord showed me musicians that I know. All of them are working with demons. 

ANGELS OF PURIFICATION

Then the Lord said, “When you have been living in sin, you will be left with stain. Given that My children are stained by sin, I have established angels whose task is purification. Their task is to remove stains of sin in the life of My children.” Then the Lord began to show me, bright angels, that he had set up for purification of God's children. I saw angels that clean and purify God's children using the blood of the Lamb. The celestial Angel uses the blood of Jesus as a cleaning tool. I said to the Lord, “How come angels have to purify people with Your blood? Can the blood do the work by itself?” The Lord said, “The blood works in its own way but the Father has established His angels with this task.”

In Christian teaching, the term "gates" of the human body is often used figuratively to describe the avenues through which EVIL influences can enter the mind and heart. The Bible does not provide one official list, but believers commonly refer to these bodily "gates":

1. Eyes – What we watch and focus on (Matthew 6:22-23; Psalm 101:3).
2. Ears – What we listen to and receive (Romans 10:17; Proverbs 18:15).
3. Mouth – What we speak and consume (Matthew 12:36-37; Proverbs 18:21).
4. Nose – What we smell and discern; often associated symbolically with discernment and offerings (Genesis 8:21; 2 Corinthians 2:15).
5. Hands – What we do and touch (Psalm 24:3-4; Colossians 3:17).
6. Feet – Where we go and the paths we choose (Proverbs 4:26-27; Romans 10:15).
7. Mind (Thought Life) – What we think upon and meditate on (Philippians 4:8; Romans 12:2).
8. Heart – The center of desires, intentions, and affections (Proverbs 4:23; Matthew 15:18-19).
9. Sexual Organs – Often discussed in relation to purity and holiness (1 Corinthians 6:18-20; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5).

Many Christians particularly emphasize the eye gate, ear gate, and mouth gate because these are primary ways that influences enter and exit our lives. Scripture repeatedly calls believers to guard their heart, since it is the wellspring of life (Proverbs 4:23).

John Mulinde Prayer Warfare

 

How s@tan Stops Our Prayer Warfare (COMBAT) in the Heavenly Realm

I want to share with you from a testimony of someone who was saved, someone who had been serving the Satan  And when that man gave his testimony, it so challenged me, I did not want to believe it.  I had to go ten days before the Lord in fasting, asking Him, “Lord, is this true?” And it was at that time the Lord began to teach me what happens in the spiritual realm when we pray.

This man was born after his parents dedicated themselves to lucifer.  When he was still in the womb, they made so many rituals dedicating him to serve lucifer.  When he was four years old, he began to exercise his spiritual power.  And his parents began fearing him.  When he was six years, his father surrendered him to the witches to go and be trained.  And by ten years, he was doing great things in the kingdom of the devil.  He was feared by the normal witches.

He was still a young boy, but he was so terrible in the things he did.  He grew up to be a young man in his twenties with so much bloodshed on his hands.  Killed at will.  He had the ability to go out of his body through transcendental meditation.  And he could levitate.  Sometimes his body would lift off the ground and stay in the air.  And sometimes he could go into a trance, and come out of his body; his body would remain behind, and he would go out into the world, this is called astro-travelling.  And this guy was used by satan to destroy so many churches, to break down so many churches and to destroy so many pastors.

One day, he was assigned to destroy a church that was so full of prayer.  There were so many divisions in this church, and many confusions.  And he began to work on this church.  But at that time, the pastor called a fast for the whole church.  As the church began to fast, there was a lot of repentance and a lot of reconciliation.  And the people came together, and they began to pray for the work of the Lord in their midst.  And they continued interceding and crying to God to have mercy and intervene in their lives.  And as they days went by, this man was coming again and again with demon spirits against this church.  But there was a word of prophecy that came telling the Christians to rise up and to wage warfare against the powers of darkness that were attacking the church.

So one day, this man leaves his body in his room and goes astro-travelling.  He leads a mighty force of demonic spirits against this church.  Now this is his testimony.  His spirit was moving in the air over the church and trying to attack it, but there was a covering of light over the church.  And suddenly, there was an army of angels that attacked them and there was fighting in the air, and all the demons fled, but he was arrested by these angels.

Yes, arrested by the angels! He saw himself being held by about six angels, and they brought him through the roof right before the church altar.  There he was, and the people were praying.  They were deep in prayer in spiritual warfare, binding and breaking and casting out.  The pastor was on the platform leading the prayers and the warfare.  The Spirit of the Lord spoke to the pastor, “The yoke has been broken, and the victim is there before you.  Help him through deliverance.” As the pastor opened his eyes, he saw this young man collapsed there.  His body was with him, he was in his body.  The young man says he doesn’t know how his body joined him; he had left it in his house.  But there he was in his body, he didn’t know how he had entered in except the angel had carried him through the roof.

Now these things are difficult to believe, but the pastor silenced the church and told the church what the Lord had told him and asked the young man, “Who are you?” The young man was trembling as the demons began coming out of him.  So they prayed for deliverance, and afterwards he began to share his life.  This young man has now come to the Lord and is an evangelist, preaching the Gospel.  He is being used by the Lord mightily in setting other people free by deliverance.

One night, I (John Mulinde) went to a dinner.  The sole reason I went is that someone told me about this young man, and I was so curious to see him, and see if his story was true.  So I sat at that dinner and in the evening, this man was given the chance to give his testimony.  He talked about so many things.  Sometimes he cried because of the things he did.  As he finished, he made an appeal.

There were many pastors in that room.  And he said, “I appeal to you, pastors.  Please teach the people how to pray.” The people who don’t pray, can be taken in anything, in anything by the devil, and there are ways that the enemy exploits their lives and their prayers.  The enemy knows even how to exploit their prayers of those people who don’t know how to pray.  “Teach the people how to use the spiritual armor that God provides.”

Then he shared how he lead expositions into the air.  He would go with other satanic agents and lots of demon spirits into the air.  It was like a shift, you’ve got to go and work your shift.  So regularly he had a time he had to go and wage war in the heavenlies.  And he said that in the heavenlies, in the spiritual realm, if the land is covered under the blanket of darkness, that blanket is so thick, it is like a rock.  And it covers the whole area.  And these spirits are able to go on top of this as well as below this blanket.  And from that level, they influence the events on earth.

When the evil spirits and human satanic agents leave their shifts, they go down on earth at the points of covenant, even waters or on the land at the points of covenant for refreshing of their spirit.  And how do they refresh their spirit? By the sacrifices that people give at these altars.  They could be sacrifices in open witchcraft, sacrifices in bloodshed of all types including abortion, including warfare and human sacrifices and animal sacrifices.  They could be sacrifices of sexual immorality where people go into sexual perversions and all kinds of promiscuity.  And that act services the strength of these powers.  And many are the different types of sacrifices.

He said that when satanic agents are up in the heavenly realm, and the Christians begin to pray on earth, the prayers of the Christians appear to them in three forms.  All prayers appear like smoke that is rising up into the heavens.

Some prayers appear like smoke, and it goes drifting along and disappear in the air.  These prayers come from people who have sin in their lives and they are not willing to deal with it.  Their prayers are so weak, they are blown away and disappear in the air.

The other type of prayer is also like smoke that rises up until it reaches this rock, but it does not break through the rock.  These are usually people who try to purify themselves, but they lack the faith in what they are doing as they pray.  They usually ignore the other important aspects that are needed when someone prays.

The third type of prayer is like smoke that is filled with fire.  As it rises up, it is so hot that when it reaches the rock, the rock begins to melt like wax.  It pierces the rock and goes through.

Many times, as people begin to pray, their prayers look like the first type, but as they continue praying, their prayers change and become like the second prayer.  And as they continue praying, suddenly it ignites into fire.  And their prayers become so powerful, they pierce through the rock.

Many times evil agents would notice that prayers were changing and coming very close to the state of fire, then these agents would communicate to other spirits on earth and they tell them, “Distract that person from prayer.  Stop them praying.  Pull them out.”

Many times Christians yield to these distractions.  They are pressing through, they are repenting, they are allowing the Word to check their spirit up, Faith has been building up.  Their prayers are becoming more focused.  Then the devil sees their prayers are gaining strength and the distractions begin.  Telephones ring.  Sometimes we, in the middle of very, very intense prayer, the telephone rings and you think you can go to answer the phone and then come back and continue praying.  When you come back, you go back to the beginning.  And that’s what the devil wants.

Other kinds of distractions come your way, even if it means touching your body and bringing some pain somewhere.  Even if it means making you hungry and you want to go to the kitchen and fix something to eat.  As long as they can get you out of that place, they have defeated you.  And he will say to the pastors, “Teach people.  Set aside some time.  Not for just some casual kind of praying.  They can do that the rest of the day.  Once in a day, they should have a time when they are focusing wholeheartedly on God, nothing distracting them.

And if people persist in this kind of prayer and allow themselves to be inspired in the spirit and keep going and keep going, something happens in the spirit.  The fire touches that rock, and it melts.  And this man said, when the melting begins, it is so hot, no demon spirit can stand it.  No human spirit can stand it.  They all flee.  They all run away.

There comes an opening in the spiritual realm.  And as soon as this comes, all this trouble in prayer stops.  The person who is praying on the ground just feels like prayer is suddenly so smooth, so enjoyable, so powerful and intense.  And I’ve discovered at that moment, we normally lose conscience of time and other things.  Not that we become disorderly.  God takes care of our time.  But it is like you lay down everything, and you hook up with God.  And this man said that when the prayers go through, from that moment there can be no resistance at all, and the person praying will continue as long as he wants.  There is no resistance that can stop him.

And then he said, after he finishes praying, the hole remains open, and he said that people, when they rise out of their place of prayer, and they walk out, this open hole moves along with them.  They are no longer operating under the blanket.  They are operating under open heavens.  And he said in that state, the devil cannot do what he wants against them.  And the presence of the Lord is like a pillar from heaven resting on their lives.  They are protected, and there is so much power inside that pillar that as they move around, that presence touches other people.  It discerns what the enemy has done in other people.  And as they talk to people and those people are standing with them, they come inside this pillar.  And as long as they stay inside that pillar, all the bondages of the enemy weaken.

So when these people who have this spiritual break-through share Jesus Christ with the sinners, their resistance is low.  It is so easy to bring them through.  When they pray for the sick or pray about things, the presence which is there makes all the difference.  And this man said the devil hates such people.  And it said if there are places where prayer is regularly being prayed through like that, the presence comes upon that place and does not leave.  So even the people who don’t know God, when they come into this place suddenly all the bondages are weakened.

And if someone cared to just minister to them patiently and with love, they can easily be pulled through, not by power nor by might but by the Spirit of God, who is present.  And he said, if no one bothers about these people, they come into his presence, they feel convicted, they begin to debate whether to yield or not, but if they are not pulled through, when they walk away from this place, bondages get stronger.  And the devil tries his best not to allow them to come back into such an environment.

You can imagine we were all seated looking at this man.  He was telling us the things he used to do and what he used to see.  Then he told us what they would do to people who have broken through in prayer.  He said they marked such people; they studied such people.  They dug up everything they could find about such people.  So they knew their weaknesses, and when someone overcomes them in prayer and breaks through, they communicate with other spirits and say, “Target him with this and with this and with this.  These are his weaknesses.” So when this person walks out of the prayer closet, the spirit of prayer is upon him, the presence is upon him, his spirits are high, the joy of the Lord is his strength.  As he moves the enemy tries to bring those things that can distract him from focusing on the Lord.

If his weakness is in the area of temper, then the enemy is going to cause people to do things which can make him really angry.  And if he is not sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and he allows himself to go into the temper, he takes his eyes off the Lord.  He gets angry, he feels so furious, and after a few minutes later, he wants to put that behind him and move along in the joy of the Lord, but he doesn’t feel it anymore.  He tries to feel good again; he doesn’t feel any good again.  Why? As he yielded to the temptation, they worked hard to close the door upstairs.  And once they restore the rock, the presence is cut off.  The person does not cease being a child of God.  But that extra anointing that goes on his life, that presence that could do things without his manipulating anything, it’s just cut off.  They seek out where the weaknesses are.

If it is in the temptation to sexuality, the enemy will prepare people, events, something that will suddenly draw out that passion to go towards that temptation.  And if that man yields to this temptation and opens up his mind to receive these thoughts, entertains them, when he is through with everything and wants to move again in the anointing, he just discovers it is no longer there.  Maybe you say, “That’s not fair.” Just remember what the Bible says, “Put on the helmet of salvation.  Put on the breastplate of righteousness.” We normally do not see the position, the place of these weapons of warfare.  But remember what Jesus told us to pray towards the end of the Lord’s prayer, “Take us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”

Every time you have a breakthrough in prayer, as you come to the end, remember you are still a weak human being.  Remember you have not yet been perfected.  Ask the Lord, say “Lord, I’ve enjoyed this time of prayer, but when I walk out into this world, lead me not into temptation.  Don’t allow me to walk into the devil’s trap.  I know the enemy is setting a trap out there.  I don’t know what form it is going to take.  And I know I am still weak in certain areas.  If I am just put in the right place, I will yield to that.  Protect me, Lord.  When you see me turning that corner where the trap is, just cause me to turn to the other side.  Intervene, O Lord.  Don’t allow me to move by just my own strength and ability.  Deliver me from the evil one.”

God is able to do that.  He is able.  That is why sometimes things happen, all you need to say is, “Thank you, Jesus.” That’s why Apostle Paul wrote in the book of Thessalonians and said, “Thank God in everything for that is the will of God in Christ for you.” Some things are not good.  They are painful, and we wonder why God would allow it.  But if only we knew what He is saving us from, we would thank Him.  When we learn to trust the Lord, we just thank Him in everything.

Beloved, I don’t know whether to go deeper because I do not want to start something I cannot finish.  Let me just try to take one step forward.  And this man said that when prayer breaks through like that, the answer will always come.  He said he does not know a case where prayer broke through and the answer did not come.  He said the answer always came, but in most cases, it would never get to the person who asked.  Why? Battle in the heavenlies.  He says as long as they succeed in cutting off the open heavens and the rock is restored, they watch this person, they are waiting because they know the answer is definitely coming.

And then this man spoke something that really shook my faith.  It is because of the next part he shared that I went into fasting ten days to say, Lord, is this true? Can you prove it to me? This man said that every Christian has got an angel serving that Christian.  Now we know the Bible says angels are ministering spirits to us.  He said that when people pray, the answer comes in the hands of the angel.  The angel brings the answer like we can read it in the book of Daniel.  Then he said something really tough; if the one who prays knows the spiritual armors and is clothed with them, the answer comes by an angel who is also clothed in full armor.

If the one who prays doesn’t care about spiritual armory, their angels come without spiritual armor.  Christians who don’t care about what kind of thoughts come into their minds.  They don’t fight the battle of their minds.  Their angels come without the helmet.  Whatever spiritual weapon you ignore on earth, the angel doesn’t have it as he serves you.  In other words, our spiritual armor is not protecting our physical bodies; it’s protecting our spiritual exploits.

This man said, when the angel is coming, they would focus and look at him and notice the areas which are not covered, and those are the areas they would attack.  If he has no helmet, they would shoot at his head.  If he has no breastplate, they would shoot at his chest.  If he has no shoes, they would make a fire that he is walking in the fire.  Now I am just repeating what this man said.  Actually, we asked him, “Can angels feel fire?” And you know what he said to us? Remember this is a spiritual realm.  These are spirits dealing with spirits.  The battle is intensive, and when they overpower an angel of God, the first thing they target is the answer he is carrying, and they get that from him, that is what they give through the cults, the witchcraft, and people say, “I got this because of witchcraft.”

Remember what the Bible says in the book of James? All good things come from God.  So where does the devil get the things he gives to his people? Some people who cannot have children, they go to witch doctors and satanists, and they get pregnant! Who gave them that baby? Is satan a creator? NO! He steals from those who don’t pray to the end.  Jesus said, “Pray without ceasing.” And then He said, “But when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith?” Will He find you still there waiting? Or will you have given up and the enemy would steal what you have prayed for?

Then this man said that they are not satisfied with just stealing the answer.  They are also interested in detaining the angel.  And they start fighting him.  And he said sometimes they succeed in holding and binding the angel.  And he says, when that happens, the Christian is a victim on earth.  They can do anything with that Christian because he is totally left without ministry in the Spirit.

I said to him, “Do you mean an angel can be held in captivity by demonic forces?” This man did not even know the scriptures by the time he was saying all this.  He did not know very many scriptures.  He was just sharing his experiences.  And he said, they wouldn’t hold the angel too long because as other Christians prayed elsewhere, reinforcement would come, and the angels would go free.  If the Christian responsible did not pray through, he remains a captive.  Then the enemy sends his own angel as an angel of light to this person, and that is where the deceptions come in.  False visions and false prophecies.  False leadership, I mean leading, guidance in the spirit, making wrong decisions of all types.  And many times this person is open to all kinds of attack and bondages.

And I asked the Lord. I left that dinner so troubled, so troubled. I said, “Lord, I don’t want even to try and believe this.” It removes all my confidence, my security. When I went to seek the Lord, it was ten days, the Lord did two things. He did not only confirm the things I had heard, he opened my mind to see a lot more that this man could not tell us of what happens in the spiritual realm. And two, he led me to see what we are supposed to do as the things are happening so that we are not overcome but that we can overcome. And we need to know three things and really come to terms with these three things:

• 1️⃣: How to operate with the weapons of our warfare.  The Bible calls them the armor of God.  It is not our armor; it is God’s armor.  When we use it, we allow God to fight on our behalf.  
• 2️⃣: Understand the relationship of the ministering spirits-the angels-to our spiritual lives.  And to be sensitive to what is happening in our hearts as a leading to what needs to be happening in the spirit concerning us.  That brings us to the third thing: that is the Holy Spirit.
• 3️⃣: The Holy Spirit is not supposed to come as our servant, serving us and bringing things to us.  He does not run to and fro to the Father to tell Him what we need.  That is the work of angels.  But He stands by our side.  Doing what? Guiding us, teaching us, leading us, helping us to pray the right way.  And when these things are happening in the spiritual realm, He tells us, sometimes He wakes you up in the night and says, “Pray.” You say, “No! My time is not yet come.” And He says, “Pray now!” Why? He sees what is happening in the spirit.  Sometimes He says, “Tomorrow-fasting!” You say, “Oh, no, I’ll start on Monday!”

But He understands what is happening in the spiritual realm.  We should learn to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.  He guides us in the paths of righteousness.  Beloved we’ve got to stop here.  Maybe tomorrow morning, we can talk about how we can pray through, knowing the battles in the spirit and how we can break through.  How we can maintain our breakthrough once we have scored it.  And once we learn this, it becomes enjoyable.  Then we learn one thing: the battle is not ours; the battle is of the Lord! Hallelujah!

Let’s just stand up.  Look someone in the eye, and just think about how many times that person could have missed what God had for him.  But join your hands if you can, two or three people, and just tell each other, “There’s no need for more defeat! We can overcome! There is enough power to overcome! Jesus has already done the whole work.” Pray for each other that the Lord will help us to overcome.  We should not lose.  There is enough grace, enough power for victory.

Thank you, Jesus.

-Divine Revelations

John Bunyan 5

In this testimony, a lost soul in hell describes two overwhelming miseries: what is lost and what is suffered. The soul mourns the eternal loss of God's presence, heaven, hope, and the company of saints—replaced instead with devils and despair. The suffering includes intense, universal, and unceasing torments that affect both body and soul: burning fire, choking brimstone, darkness, the memory of lost salvation, and the gnawing of conscience. The soul emphasizes that the most terrifying part of all is that these torments are forever, with no hope of escape, mercy, or end.

---

A LOST SOUL SPEAKS

"Our miseries in this infernal dungeon are of two kinds: what we have lost, and what we suffer. I will first speak about what we have LOST.

1. In this sad dark place of misery and sorrow, we have lost the wondrous presence of the ever blessed God. This is what makes this dungeon—hell. Though we had lost a thousand worlds, it would not be as important as this one greatest loss. Could we but see the least glimpse of His favor here—we might be happy; but have lost it to our everlasting woe.

2. Here we have also lost the company of saints and angels, and instead have nothing but tormenting devils!

3. Here we have lost heaven, too—the center of blessedness. There is a deep gulf between us and heaven, so that we are shut out from it forever! Those everlasting gates that let the redeemed into heaven—are now forever shut against us.

4. To make our wretchedness far worse, we have lost the hope of ever obtaining a better condition. This makes us truly hopeless. Well may our hearts now break, since we are both without hope and help. This is what we have lost; and if we think of these things, it is enough to tear and gnaw upon our miserable souls forever. Yet, oh, that this were all that our torments were!

WHAT WE SUFFER

But we are also tormented by suffering and pain, as I will try to explain to you now.

1. First, we undergo a variety of torments. We are tormented here a thousand, no, ten thousand different ways! Those who suffer upon the earth seldom have more than one affliction at a time. But if they had ulcers, gallstones, headaches, and fever all at the same time—would they not be very miserable? Yet all those together are but like the biting of a flea—compared to those intolerable, sharp pains which we endure. Here we have all the sufferings of hell. Here is an unquenchable fire which burns us; a lake of burning brimstone which ever chokes us; and eternal chains which bind us. Here there is utter darkness to frighten us, and a worm of conscience which gnaws upon us everlastingly. Any one of these is worse to bear—than all the torments that mankind ever felt on earth!

2. But our torments here are not only various—but are also universal. They afflict every part of the body, and torment all the powers of the soul. This makes what we suffer—the worst of tortures. In those sicknesses which men have on earth, though some members of their bodies will suffer—yet other parts will have no pain. Here it is different; every member of the soul and body suffers at the same time.

Our eyes are tormented here with the sight of devils who appear in all the horrible shapes and black appearances that sin can give them. Our ears are continually tormented with the loud continual yellings of the damned. Our nostrils are smothered with sulfurous flames; our tongues with burning blisters; and the whole body is rolled in flames of liquid fire! All the powers and faculties of our souls are also tormented here. The imagination suffers with the thoughts of our present pain and the memory of the heaven we have lost. Our minds are tormented as we remember how foolishly we spent our precious time on earth. Our understanding is tormented with the thoughts of our past pleasures, present pains, and future sorrows, which are to last forever. And our consciences are tormented with a continual gnawing worm!

3. Another thing that makes our misery so awful—is the sharpness of our torments. The fire which burns us is so violent that all the water in the sea can never quench it. The pains we suffer here are so extreme, that it is impossible for anyone to know them except the damned.

4. Another part of our misery is the ceaselessness of our torments. As various, as universal, and as extremely violent as they are, they are also continual. We have no rest from them. If there were any relaxation, it might be some relief. But there is no easing of our torments, and what we suffer now—we must suffer forever.

5. The company we have here is another part of our misery. Tormenting devils and tormented souls—are all our company. Dreadful shrieks, howlings, and fearful cursing—are our continual conversation because of the fierceness of our pain.

6. The place we are in also increases our sufferings. It is the epitome of all misery—a prison, a dungeon, a bottomless pit, a lake of brimstone, a furnace of fire which burns to eternity, the blackness of darkness forever; and lastly, hell itself. Such a wretched place as this, can only increase our wretchedness.

7. The cruelty of our tormentors is another thing which adds to our sufferings. Our tormentors are devils in whom there is no pity. While they are tormented themselves, they still take pleasure in tormenting us!

8. All those sufferings that I have recounted are very grievous. But that which makes them the most grievous—is that they shall always be forever! All of our intolerable sufferings shall last to all eternity! ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed—into everlasting fire!’ is what continually sounds in my ears. Oh, that I could reverse that fatal sentence! Oh, if there was but a bare possibility of salvation! This is the miserable situation we are in—and shall be in forever!"

The next testimony shares the sorrowful voice of a lost soul in hell who bitterly regrets rejecting Jesus Christ. This soul reflects on a life of delay and rebellion, now trapped in eternal torment with no second chance. It pleads with the living not to make the same mistake, warning that hell is real, unbearable, and forever. The soul’s suffering is worsened by the memory of neglected opportunities for salvation and the unending realization that it is too late to repent.

FURTHER CONVERSATIONS

This wretched soul had scarcely finished what he was saying when he was tormented again by a hellish demon, who told him to stop complaining. The demon said, "Don’t you know you have deserved it all? How often were you told of this before—but would not believe it? You laughed at those who warned you about hell. You were even so presumptuous as to dare Almighty justice to destroy you! How often you called on God to damn you. Do you complain that you are answered according to your wishes? What an unreasonable thing! You know that you had salvation offered you, and you refused it. How can you now complain of being damned? I have more reason to complain, for you had a long time in which repentance was offered you; but I was cast into hell as soon as I had sinned. If I had been offered salvation, I would never have rejected it as you did. Who do you think should pity you now, with all that heaven had offered to you?"

This made the wretch cry out, "Oh, do not continue to torment me; I know that I chose destruction. Oh, that I could forget it! These thoughts are my greatest torture. I chose to be damned—and therefore justly am so."

Then turning to the demon that tortured him he said, "But I also came here through your temptations, you cursed devil! You were the one who had tempted me to do all of my sins; and now you would reproach me? You say you never had a Savior offered to you; but you should also remember that you never had a tempter such as you have always been to me!"

To this the devil scornfully replied, "It was my business to lead you here! You had often been warned of this by your preacher. You were plainly told that we sought your ruin, and go about continually like roaring lions, seeking whom we could devour. I was often afraid that you would believe them, as several other souls did, to our great disappointment. But you were willing to do what we wanted; and since you have done our work—it is but reasonable that we should pay you wages." Then the fiend tormented him again and caused him to roar out so horribly that I could no longer stay to hear him, so I passed on.

DAMNED SOULS AND DEMONIC HATRED

"How dismal," I then said to my conductor, "is the condition of these damned souls! They are the devils' slaves while upon earth, and he reproaches and then torments them for it when they come to hell."

"The devils hate all the race of Adam," said my conductor. "And because many souls are ignorant of their devices, they easily succeed to bring them to eternal ruin. You will see more how the demons treat the damned here."

Passing a little further we saw a multitude of damned souls together, gnashing their teeth with extreme rage and pain, while the tormenting fiends with hellish fury poured liquid fire and brimstone continually upon them. In the meantime, they were cursing God and those about them, and were blaspheming in a tremendous manner. I could not help but ask of one demon that so tormented them, who were these souls that he tormented so cruelly?

Said he, "These wretches well deserve their punishment. They led others astray, and were so in love with sin, that they came here. These are those souls that have been our great helpers upon the earth, and therefore they deserve our special attention in hell. We use our full diligence to give every one their utmost share of torments, for they not only have their own sins to answer for—but also all the sins of those whom they led astray both by their doctrine and example."

"Since they have been such great helpers for you, I would think that in gratitude you would treat them a little more kindly."

To this the impudent fiend answered me in a scoffing manner, "Those who expect gratitude among devils, will find themselves mistaken. Gratitude is a virtue—but we hate all virtue. Besides, we hate all mankind, and were it in our power not one of them would be happy. It is true we do not tell them so upon earth, because there it is our business to flatter and deceive them. But when we have them here where they cannot escape—we soon convince them of their foolishness in serving us."

THE FOLLY OF TRUSTING FALSE TEACHING

From this I could only think about what infinite grace it is—that any poor sinners are brought to heaven, considering how many traps are laid by the enemy to ensnare them by the way. Therefore it is a ministry well worthy of the blessed Son of God—to save His people from their sins, and to deliver them from the wrath to come. But it is also folly and madness in men—to refuse the offers of His grace, and to choose to side with the destroyer.

FALSE HOPE AND LATE REPENTANCE

Going farther on, I heard a wretch complaining in a heartbreaking strain, against those men that had betrayed him and brought him here.

"I was told," said he, "by those whom I depended on, and whom I thought could inform me correctly, that if I said ‘Lord, have mercy on me,’ when I came to die, it would be enough to save me. But oh, now I find myself mistaken, to my eternal sorrow! Alas, I called for mercy on my deathbed—but found it was too late. Before that time, this cursed devil here told me that I was safe. Then on my deathbed, he told me it was too late! Hell must forever be my portion!"

"You see—I did tell you the truth at last," said the devil, "and then you would not believe me. A very fitting end, don't you think? You spend your days enjoying sin, and wallow in your filthiness—and you want to go to heaven when you die! Would anyone but a madman think that would be just? No! He who sincerely wants to go to heaven when he dies, must walk in the ways of holiness and virtue while he is alive. You say that some of your lewd companions told you that saying, ‘Lord, have mercy on me’ when you came to die would be enough. A very fine excuse! If you had read the Bible you would have known that ‘Without holiness, no one shall see the Lord.’ Therefore, if you were willing to live in your sins as long as you could, you did not finally leave them because you did not like them—but because you could follow them no longer! And this you know to be true. How could you be so stupid to think you could go to heaven—with the love of sin in your heart? No! no! no! You were warned often enough that you should take heed of being deceived, for God is not mocked—but what you have sowed—you have reaped. You have no reason to complain of anything—but your own folly, which you now see too late."

THE TRUE CONDITION OF LOST SOULS

"This lecture of the devil was a very cutting one to the poor tormented wretch," I said to my conductor, "and shows the true situation of many now on earth as well as those in hell. But oh, what a far different judgment do they make in this sad place from what they did on earth."

"The reason for this," replied my guardian angel, "is that they will not allow themselves to think what the effect of sin will be, while on earth. Carelessness ruins many souls who do not think about what they are doing, nor where they are going—until it is too late to help it."

Moses Lushiku 30

The testimony explains that true spirituality is marked by enduring temptations, trials, and suffering, through which believers grow stronger and earn a crown of life promised by God. Unlike angels, humans have flesh that must be offered as a living sacrifice, and by resisting fleshly desires, they participate in a sacred “cult of self-denial” that leads to spiritual anointing and glory. Jesus is the perfect example, having taken on flesh to face and overcome temptation, demonstrating that suffering is essential to spiritual elevation. Ultimately, resisting temptation is both a test and an opportunity to rise above the enemy and live a holy, consecrated life pleasing to God.

THE REVELATION OF THE SECOND ANGEL

Previously I talked about the function of the first Angel of spirituality, who sharpens the spiritual function of the believer. He works in human hearts and abilities. He sharpens the art of delivering speeches with greater wisdom and intellect. This angel sharpens the five senses so they can function beyond the human limit that they usually use. God's children are supposed to have visions and understanding from the spiritual realm and from heaven's perspective. They should rise beyond the earthly dimension to the heavenly realm to perceive things from heaven so that they will render sermons, teachings, and speeches with greater depth and accurate spiritual insight.

The condition to enter and operate in this first function of spirituality is sacredness, which is consecration by setting oneself apart and denying the self-life. A believer’s growth is measured or ascertained in direct proportion and correlation to the degree that he abides and lives with Jesus in the Spirit, as it is written in Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit and Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

It is also according to the depth of loss and sacrifice of his self-life as Luke 9:23–24 says, And He said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever will save his life shall lose it: but whoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it.

A believer’s consecration is indicated by how much his heart is involved with Jesus, as Mark 12:30 says, And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment.

Consecration also means living outside your personal interests, as Luke 14:26 says, If any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And Luke 14:33 So likewise, whoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has, he cannot be My disciple.

Such a consecrated life will manifest divine results through the activities of faith, that has the Spirit of intercession stemming from the abiding presence of Jesus in his consecrated life, and is permeated by the fruit of the Spirit.

These Scriptures will manifest in his consecrated life:
Matthew 5:46–48 For if you love them which love you, what reward have you? do not even the publicans the same? And if you salute your brothers only, what do you more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be you, therefore, perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Galatians 5:22–24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such, there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

I remember when I was visited by the angel for the first time, they told me, “Moses, we walk your street, we enter your house, but you don't see us and sense our presence for your sensibilities are low. You are busy with the affairs of terrestrial life. You are full of the worries of this life, therefore you lose your spiritual sensibility.”

Beloved, we must remember that our consecration, our dedication, and our sacredness cause the angel of spirituality to sharpen and activate our spiritual faculties. Consecration and development are enough to take us to heaven. The cult of the offering of oneself on the altar of sacrifice is enough to open the ancient portal of the heavenly domain. Our death on the altar and the worship and cult of self-sacrifice is what the Apostle Paul called reasonable worship.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

Our life must be a worship and cult of the sacrifice of the body in order to maintain a high spirituality.

Brother and sister, when the second Angel of spirituality began to speak, he said, “The order was given to me by the Lord to reveal to you a secret that you must understand and it will be good for you.”

Beloved, the angel of the Lord asked me, “Moses, do you know why you humans are superior to angels?”

When the angel spoke that way, this was new information for me—to learn that somehow we humans are superior to angels that we admire.

Then the angel began to explain to me why men are superior to angels. This was very interesting.

The Angel of the Lord said, “Obviously, you humans think that we angels are superior to you, because we fly and move at high speed like flying engines. But that is not the case. As angels are created spirit beings without physical bodies, we do not have the principle of offering the body. Angels are spirits without the body, so we cannot render to God the cult of sacrificing the body.”

“When the Lord said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, in Our likeness,’ the Lord made humans in His image, which is divinity. Therefore, man is humanity mixed with divinity, which we angels don't have, and this is what is missing in us. The faculties of your spirits are activated when you consecrate and set your bodies apart.”

“Notice that in the creation of angels, the faculties of our spirits were activated automatically. We did not have to do sacrifice in order to activate these divine abilities. Unlike God's children who consecrate their bodies to initiate these faculties, we have never done any sacrifice of the body as required for humans, for our secret is simply holiness, yet humans have double influence and double impact.”

“The first one is the flesh, which is the offering for consecration and the cult of the offering of the body. Moreover, you have holiness, which leads you to divinity. This is where the difference between angels and humans is: your body is for sacrifice and offering and your holiness is for divinity.”

The angel said to me, “I want to show you the evidence of my claim. In the law, which is the Bible, the Almighty God took flesh and blood in order to become flesh and render the cult of the sacrifice of the body. He offered Himself on the altar of the cross. As a result, He was sovereignly elevated, as it is written in 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”

The angel said, “The Almighty God took flesh and became a sacrifice. As a result, He was sovereignly exalted. Now I want to ask you a question, was the Almighty not highly raised before this sacrifice? Was He not always highly elevated? This is a mystery, for high spirituality begins with the flesh. If you can understand this, in order to be tempted to sin, you're going to need to have a body. Therefore I beseech you to be happy whenever you are tempted for the principle of the flesh is fulfilled in trials, tests and temptations.”

“The Almighty is incarnated in human flesh when Christ came in the flesh. If He had not been tempted in the flesh, He would not have experienced and fulfilled this spiritual lesson. The Almighty God the Christ was supposed to undergo the exercise of mortification. We are never hungry. But the Almighty needed a body in order to experience hunger. This is the meaning of the 40 days and nights of fasting and praying in the wilderness so that the tempter will come to tempt Him.”

“This was the imposition of self-suffering on purpose. God took flesh to impose suffering upon Himself on purpose. The Almighty has taken flesh as He said that greatness is found in suffering in the flesh. Do you know why? It is because suffering is the proof of sacrifice. The Almighty needed a body for the sake of the sovereignty of His name. Thus the glory of the latter Temple shall be greater than that of the former one.”

Haggai 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, said the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, said the LORD of hosts.

The angel asked me, “What do you think of this new Temple? In the Old Covenant the Almighty was dwelling in the tent. This was unconscious glory for the temple was made up of material elements that were unaware of being inhabited by the glory of God. The utensils of the tabernacle were seized by the glory but they were just inanimate objects. This was the first temple.”

“However the Second Temple will be more glorious for it will be conscious and a living temple. The first temple was made of material, but the Second Temple is man. Thus, this Second Temple is physical, in the bodies of men.”

1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?

The prophet Isaiah says He was a man of suffering and accustomed to suffering.
Isaiah 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.

“He needed to be accustomed to suffering, as the Bible says,
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.”
(James 1:12)

Then the angel of the Lord told me, “Moses, the first angel talked to you that he works on the hearts. He sharpened men’s functionality. He sharpened men’s ability and organ of senses when men set themselves apart in consecration. This is the first step towards spirituality.”

“However, I work in the field of temptation. I do not tempt anybody, but I observe the reaction of God's children during temptations, tests, and trials. I observe how the believer bears the temptation, how they withstand the temptation, and how they overcome the temptation.”

“The believer must get used to the suffering of the temptation. Whenever God's children are tempted, it's a suffering that they are supposed to bear. It is physical suffering that they have to overcome.”

THE ROLE OF THE SECOND ANGEL OF SPIRITUALITY

The purpose of this second Angel of spirituality is to observe us, and he is waiting for a reaction during tests and trials. He observes every time we bear the temptation. He observes when we overcome the test, and when we don't yield to the temptation, for when the believer gets used to suffering in bearing the temptations, the trials, and the tests, he has reached a culminating point in spirituality.

The angel said, “It is at that point I reserve a crown for him. It is after enduring the temptation that a crown is reserved for you. A crown is reserved for God's children who have gotten used to suffering and enduring the temptation. A crown is available only to those who bear and endure temptations.”

THE MYSTERY OF THE CROWN

“Now I want to talk to you about the mystery of the crown that comes after bearing suffering and temptation. When the Almighty was full of the Spirit, He went to the desert in search of the tempter. He went to the desert to meet the tempter. He faced the temptation for this was supposed to give Him superiority over the tempter. Jesus wanted to be tempted deliberately in order to overcome the temptation and suffering that is involved and take superiority over the tempter.”

“Whenever you are tempted, if you bear the temptation and the suffering, in the end, you will come out superior to the tempter. It is only when you bear the test, the temptation, and the suffering that you dominate the enemy. You can claim to dominate the devil and Satanists but this domination will have power only when you have resisted and overcome their temptation and suffering. That is the origin of superiority.”

“That is why I give the crown of life to the one who has resisted the temptation and bore the suffering faithfully and successfully. From now on, don't look at temptation as a bad thing. Consider your temptations and tests as the means by which the Almighty wants to place you above your enemy, the ruler of this world.”

SPIRITUAL PROGRESSION THROUGH TRIALS

“The number of tests and trials in your life is the number of degrees that you are supposed to climb. Each test, trial, and temptation is a degree you are called to rise. These are dimensions in the walk of the believer that we call spirituality. This is the cult of suffering and deprivation that you are called to do.”

“God doesn't force you to endure the trials and temptations and you have the freedom to yield and succumb to them. However, whenever the flesh is enticing, seducing or provoking you to respond to its desires, it raises an alarm to your spirituality. When the desires of the flesh are aroused, the believer will be tested and tried to subjugate and suppress them. They will rise in their spirituality if they successfully overcome those desires. Those who yield to the flesh will diminish their spirituality. The arousal of illicit fleshly desires and cravings raises the alarm and threat to one’s spirituality. Those who resist steadfastly and unyieldingly to those trials, tests, and temptations in the spirit of long-suffering and patience are offering to God the cult of self-denial and deprivation.”

“When you guard yourself from what you can do in the name of deprivation, you are rendering a cult of self-sacrifice to the Lord. Whenever the flesh is craving for its gratification, this is the alarm and threat to your spirituality. And when you resist the flesh and its unlawful desires, you have initiated the cult of self-denial, self-sacrifice, and deprivation to the Lord.”

THE SECOND PRINCIPLE OF SPIRITUALITY

“This is the second principle of spirituality. This is why it is written in John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

“People saw the glory of the Almighty when He took flesh with the intent of suffering and getting used to suffering. The Word of God said He got used to suffering.
Isaiah 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.”

“When the Almighty took flesh, He has fulfilled the law of humanity, the law of the flesh, for spirituality begins in the body by crucifying the flesh. The Almighty God got used to suffering in order to overcome temptation and to master the tempter.”

“It is written in the law we have contemplated His glory, for He has become flesh and human, yet the Almighty who had manifested in flesh and humanity after experiencing suffering and temptation was elevated in glory, for glory is in humanity and the flesh.”

“When you stay in your body, you use the elements that make you a priest. Note that you must offer yourself. In the new priesthood, you are the sacrifice. You are your sacrifice. Your flesh is the sacrifice. When you offer yourself to God as an offering, this offering enables the glory of God to come upon you and use you. The one who abuses his body does not have an offering. The one who sanctifies, purifies, immolates, consecrates his body and then offers his holy body to God as a living sacrifice will see the glory of God come down and consume his offering. For God is a Consuming Fire (Heb 12:29) who makes His ministers flames of fire (Heb 1:7).”

THE CHARISMA FROM THE FLESH

“The Word was made flesh, but we angels don't have this manifestation in flesh. We cannot manifest in the flesh in order to get used to suffering because we don't have flesh. We envy you while you envy us. It is thanks to the offering and sanctification of the flesh that you become anointed by the Holy Spirit and thus become Charismatic. We are not Charismatic; the charisma has to do with the flesh. Since we are not flesh, we are not Charismatic. Charisma is via the offering of the body. The anointing of the Holy Spirit and Charisma come when you are tempted in the flesh and you are not yielding to the demands of the flesh and resisting the flesh. We angels are not in the flesh and cannot offer the body in self-sacrifice and resistance to temptation, so we cannot have access to the anointing and charisma of the Holy Spirit. We are just holy.”

“What is your concept of spirituality? When the Lord ordered us to work in you in terms of spirituality, you thought that spirituality is the atmosphere of God's presence. But spirituality is not the atmosphere of God's presence; spirituality is when a man understands that he is the offering and the sacrifice. It is not the laying of hands as you think. When you rely on anointed pastors and prophets to lay hands on you to increase your spirituality, you are nullifying the mission of angels of spirituality whose role is to sharpen the spiritual faculties of your inner man during your times of consecration.”

THE ATMOSPHERE OF CONSECRATION

Spirituality is in the inward nature of man that brings about an atmosphere of God's presence, not the other way around. And this atmosphere of God’s presence can be felt by the one who has been living a crucified and sanctified life of consecration and resistance to temptation. Not everyone will feel the atmosphere of the presence of God in him. Only the one who practices the cult of self-offering, self-denial, self-sacrifice and deprivation will do so.

This was the last word of the angel of the Lord. Brother, whenever we are tempted, it is a test that will expose who we really are and what our spiritual level is. Either we oppose and resist the flesh or we yield to the demands of the flesh. Whenever we are tempted, the angel of spirituality will be present to attend the test in which we are subjected to. It is those who render to the Lord the cult of suffering in their flesh that can withstand and resist the demands of the flesh.

A DAILY SACRIFICE

Brother, your body is the offering and sacrifice available and in your disposal, which you are supposed to offer as a sacrifice and offering to the Lord. Since you need your offering and sacrifice to be holy, you're going to need a daily cult of self-denial and suffering. When you defile the body, it becomes an impure offering and an impure sacrifice. Yet the body is the only sacrifice that can exalt you in high spirituality.

The Lord took flesh and blood to impose suffering on His body. Then He got used to suffering through diverse temptations He was subjected to. The Prophet Isaiah said the Lord was a man of suffering who got used to suffering. We must get used to suffering, which are diverse temptations and trials happening in our body to mortify it. This is the price we need to pay, for when we bear and resist these tests, we shall inherit the crown of glory.

Romans 5:3–5 We also rejoice in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character, and character, hope and hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

THE CROSS AND THE GLORY

Our body is an offering and sacrifice. We have the case of the Almighty God who knew the importance of the body which is an offering. He took flesh and blood with the intent of suffering and sacrifice, and He suffered in the flesh in order to confirm His exhortation.

And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death, even death on a cross. Therefore, God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names, that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. (Phil 2:6–11)

The temptation is a good thing. It is a test that catapults us in glorification. The Lord has shown an example in dying on the cross to demonstrate that He deserves His crown after partaking the flesh and the suffering.

We are a kingdom of priests and our central offering and holocaust is our body, and our daily offering is the cult of the offering of body. The apostle Paul said, this is your true and proper worship. Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. (Rom 12:1)

When the Lord agreed to suffer in the Mount of Transfiguration, He shone with great light. When Moses and Elijah came, they brought to Him the message of suffering and death of the Lamb on the cross for humanity, and when He agreed to be the sacrifice, He shone—for glory comes as a result of sacrifice.

THE SUPERIORITY OF MAN THROUGH THE BODY

The body means that man is superior to angels, for he can render to God the worship and cult of the offering of oneself in order to obtain glory. God's children should live on the altar of sacrifice by dying every day. This is the reasonable worship service offered to the Lord. As St. Paul said, “I die daily.” (1 Corinthians 15:31)

The angels have no flesh to offer as a sacrifice in order to get such elevation and exaltation. They are just holy. The Almighty got Himself the body in order to die on the altar, and He was highly elevated. The fear of the Lord gives us holiness, and the offering of oneself gives us glory.
