STUDY TOURS IN HEAVEN
There is a church where every first Saturday of the month, the pastor sends some of his members on study tours to heaven. Since we are fast approaching the end times, the Holy Spirit wants to accelerate our learning. These study tours of heaven will reveal many secrets for our times. Under the direction of the Holy Spirit, the pastor walks up and down the aisle and picks a few members who were chosen by the Holy Spirit to make a trip to heaven. He asks them to prepare by confessing their sins and asking for grace. Once they are ready, the pastor points his forefinger at them, one by one, and they fall to the ground like dead men and women. He asks the ushers to examine them and roll them on the floor and there is no response from them. Their breathing and their heartbeats even slowed down considerably. They are then carried to the stage for an hour or so before the pastor claps his hands to wake them up. They then go to the microphone and make their reports to the congregation.
GARDEN OF EDEN
On one of the visits, the angels told them that Adam and Eve lived thirty years in the Garden of Eden before they fell into sin. These Christians had seen the exact replica of the Garden of Eden in heaven and they said that it was so beautiful and heavenly, even more beautiful than many other parts of heaven. God showed His love by creating a piece of heaven here on earth for Adam and Eve.
ADAM & EVE
In one of the reports, a member described how he was taken to a computer screen by an angel to see what really happened in the Garden of Eden. He saw that Adam was very, very handsome and Eve was even more beautiful and pretty. She was so beautiful that Adam loved her very deeply. Adam loved her so much that he did everything to please her. He obeyed her every desire to the point of even being submissive to her. Eve had a peculiar penchant for serpent. She would carry a serpent about her. She loved to play with her pet serpent. She would constantly talk with the serpent too. Of course, this was before the fall, and the animals can talk and were friendly and harmless. The serpent was not seen to be evil and there was nothing squeamish about it. It may have been very beautiful and attractive as well. Eve also greatly admired Adam for his knowledge and wisdom. She yearned for that kind of wisdom that Adam had. She saw that Adam could name all the animals and administrate the Garden of Eden with great knowledge and wisdom.
It was for these 3 reasons – that Eve was friendly with her pet serpent, that Eve admired Adam for his wisdom and that Adam was submissive to Eve – that the devil pounced upon to bring the downfall of man. He had been observing this for many years and finally when Adam and Eve was about thirty years old, the devil used the serpent to talk to Eve about getting the wisdom of God by eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eve fell for it since she trusted her pet serpent and since she wanted to be like Adam who had such great wisdom. After Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, she gave some to Adam to eat as well. By this time, Adam had already cultivated the habit of obeying Eve all the time because of her beauty and he too fell into the devil’s trap and obeyed Eve. The sin of Eve is greater than the sin of Adam.
This heaven’s report states that Eve was domineering over her husband, Adam. She was constantly ordering Adam around, and Adam was being submissive to her. So, it should not be a surprise that Adam obeyed Eve when she gave him the fruit to eat and that was the fall of mankind. Like a chess game, the devil had already studied his opponent’s weak points and placed his pieces in strategic locations before springing the checkmate on Adam.
This same heaven’s report states that the devil will use this same tactic to trap mankind in the last days. Satan has always used women to bring about the downfall of man. Witness the number of ministers and ministries, families, government leaders and even businesses collapsing because of an illicit liaison with a woman. Just as the devil used Eve to bring down Adam, so will he use women to lead in rebellion against God and side with the AntiChrist in the last days. It is no coincidence that you see the rise of many woman politicians and government heads in the last decade. It is also no coincidence that feminism, feminist theology, the worship of goddesses has gained ascendancy in many societies. All these are part of Satan’s chess moves to spring the final assault on mankind. This number will increase as the world heads rapidly towards the final scenario.
HEAVENLY REWARD: HUGE PALATIAL MANSION FOR PASTOR
REASON: FAITHFULNESS TO GOD IN TEACHING HOW TO SERVE GOD IN THE RIGHT WAY
According to the testimony of a Christian who was brought up to heaven for a study tour, he saw many houses of all shapes and sizes belonging to Christians who are still living on earth. In one particular section of heaven, he saw the house of his pastor that kept growing in size. It was a huge palatial mansion with more than 200 rooms, each room with a different motif and design. There was a huge gallery and many other special rooms as well. The angel revealed to the Christian that because his pastor had been obedient to the Holy Spirit in all matters and was faithful, the Lord loved him very much. Jesus would keep on adding more and more rooms to this pastor’s mansion. When this pastor dies and goes to heaven, he would continue serving God in heaven as a teacher. Pastors from other cities in heaven would also come to his mansion and he would also teach them how to serve God in the right way. The many rooms in his mansion would accommodate these visiting pastors from other cities in heaven. In his mansion, there was also a room that has a computer. This computer has the records of the church members that God entrusted to him. This pastor would be able to check the records of his church members from his computer in his mansion. Christians in heaven at the moment are wondering whose this is, since this mansion is continually growing in size. There is also another room in his mansion where there is a refreshing waterfall and spring. As he soaks himself in this spring, he would be refreshed in a way that God only knows how to refresh. This is the reward for his tireless faithfulness to doing what God demanded of him.
HEAVENLY REWARD: ONE ROOM APARTMENT FOR MANY PASTORS AND EVANGELISTS
REASONS: EVERY TINY AND HIDDEN MOTIVE REVEALED
DANGER OF RELYING ON OWN STRENGTH
In another account, another Christian taken up in a similar study tour was taken to a place in heaven where many pastors and evangelists stay. They were given a one room apartment each. Many of them protested to the Holy Spirit that while they lived on earth, they had made many sacrifices to serve God in the ministry. They have given up lucrative careers, material wealth and comforts, luxuries, holidays and many other things to serve God. They said they deserve better than a one room apartment. The Holy Spirit opened their books of records and revealed their works item by item. By the side of each work they did, there was a remark about their motives for doing that particular work. They checked their own records and were astounded by what they saw – every little tiny and hidden motive was revealed. For example, one had an item that said: Preached at a miracle rally at such a place at such a such a date. Motive: to get more recognition for himself. Another item: accepted the pastorate of a church in this place. Motive: to receive larger love offerings since there were many rich church members here. The angel also revealed that since these pastors and evangelists relied on their own strength and ability and didn’t consult the Holy Spirit, hardly any angels could help them in their ministry. Therefore, in heaven, they will be left to themselves to do things for themselves without the aid of any angels. Other Christians in other places in heaven would have the assistance of angels but not these pastors and evangelists. To quell any more complaints from these pastors and evangelists, the Holy Spirit left their books of records at their apartment so that they can continue checking their records if they are still dissatisfied!!
HEAVENLY REWARD: SIZE OF MANSION SMALLER FOR FAMOUS HEALING EVANGELIST STILL ALIVE COMPARED TO MANSION FOR UNKNOWN PASTOR
REASON: NUMBER OF CHRISTIANS UNDER HEALING EVANGELIST’S CARE NEEDING GOD’S DEALINGS MUCH GREATER
The angel also took this Christian to see the mansion of a healing evangelist who is still serving God on earth. Though his mansion was big, his was not as big as another pastor who was unknown by name and face in this world. The angel took this Christian to the computer room of this healing evangelist to see the files of Christians entrusted to him. The files are normally arranged in two sections. One section would contain the files of Christians who were progressing spiritually as a result of this healing evangelist’s ministry. The other section would contain the files of Christians who were stagnant and wilful and whom God will have to deal with many times to perfect them. Under this famous healing evangelist, the files of Christians who needed to be dealt with by God were stacked high. But under the unknown pastor, the files of Christians who needed to be dealt with by God were few. This unknown pastor was faithful in dealing with the church members and under his preaching and teaching, many experienced breakthroughs from strongholds and progressed spiritually. Thus, this unknown pastor was rewarded with more facilities than the more famous evangelist.
HEAVENLY REWARD: SMALL MANSION FOR PASTOR
REASON: WROTE BOOKS UNAUTHORIZED BY HOLY SPIRIT THUS REWARD REDUCED
On another occasion, this Christian who was on this study tour of heaven met a pastor there who had served under a well know prophet and evangelist, who is still alive and travelling round the world to conduct his miracle crusades and training programs. This pastor died and went to heaven, but he was unhappy to see that his mansion and reward were not up to his expectations. He protested that he had done so much for God. The Holy Spirit opened his file and revealed the reason why his mansion was smaller than what he expected. While on earth, he wrote a few books but the Holy Spirit did not authorise these books. The pastor did not consult the Holy Spirit as to whether he should write the books at all. He merely wrote them because it was the “in thing” to do so. Every other pastor seems to be writing books and he did not want to be left out. The Holy Spirit revealed that because of this, he suffered some demerits and his reward was reduced accordingly.
HEAVENLY REWARD: SMALL MANSION FOR WELL KNOWN EVANGELIST STILL ALIVE
REASON: REWARD REDUCED BECAUSE HE STEPPED OUTSIDE THE WILL OF GOD
SATAN PETITONED GOD TO INFLICT HIM WITH PARKINSON’S DISEASE
Another Christian taken on a similar study tour of heaven was brought by an angel to see a mansion that was prepared for another well known evangelist who is still living on earth at this point of time. The angel told him that heaven is expecting him to come up anytime now. When the angel told the Christian the name of the well know evangelist, he gasped and said, “But, how can that be? That evangelist had done so much and won so many souls for heaven.” Then the angel revealed the reason. The time of his ministry was over and God wanted him to spend his remaining years on earth to rest. If he had rested, his mansion would have been very huge. But unfortunately, he didn’t seek the will of God, and he went on working in his ministry even though he is in his 80s. Because of this, he is still incurring demerits and his mansion is reducing accordingly as long as he continues working in his ministry. He is now suffering from Parkinson’s disease. If he had retired and rested, as God wanted him to, he would not have that disease too. When this particular evangelist stepped out of the will of God, Satan took advantage of this by petitioning to God to afflict him with this disease.
HEAVENLY REWARD: HUGE REWARD FOR PASTOR
REASON: DESIRE AND SACRIFICE FOR TRUTH
This same Christian also met with another pastor in heaven. This particular pastor was brought up in a particular historic and traditional denomination. He became a pastor because his parents were both pastors. However, when he was serving as a pastor, he didn’t feel right about his ministry. He preached on notes provided by his parents. He carried on the traditions of his denomination because he was told to do so. One day, he switched on the TV and heard Morris Cerullo preach on the Holy Spirit. Something stirred up within him and began an earnest search for the Holy Spirit. He began to receive revelations about the Holy Spirit and slowly it began to dawn on him that what he was doing in the ministry was wrong and misguided and not according to what the Holy Spirit wanted. He found himself trapped between his love for his parents and the new revelations he received. He knew he couldn’t operate freely in his denomination as the Holy Spirit wanted to as his denomination was too tradition bound. He cried out to God to take him home early and God answered his prayers. He died not too long after that. When he arrived to heaven, he found that he received a huge reward. He had really thought that since he didn’t do much for God, surely his reward would be small in heaven. But God saw differently – he was rewarded greatly because of his great desire and sacrifice for the truth.
HEAVENLY REWARD: SMALL COTTAGE HOUSE FOR FOUNDER OF CHRISTIAN BUSINESSMEN FELLOWSHIP
REASON: A GOOD IDEA HE INITIATED BUT UNAUTHORIZED BY GOD LEADING MANY AWAY FROM OWN TRUE CALLINGS
There was a Christian who recently went to heaven and spoke to a well known Christian who had organized a fellowship of Christians that spread across the globe. He had initiated a Christian businessmen fellowship that encircled around the globe. There are chapters in every city and town in almost every country. As far as his work was concerned, it seems such a tremendous blessing to many. There are meetings, magazines for Christian testimonies, souls were saved – surely he had done a great work for God. He received many accolades from many other well known Christian personalities and ministries. He was constantly encouraged for the great work he initiated and organized. So, when he died, he expected a great reward. When he arrived at the pearly gates of heaven, he stood at the entrance waiting to meet the Lord Jesus. Jesus didn’t come out to meet him. He protested to the escorting angel and said that he has done so much for Jesus and now he wants to see the Jesus he had been serving. He waited there for three days and finally an angel told him that Jesus won’t meet him. He was puzzled. Hadn’t he served the Master wholeheartedly? Hasn’t his work save many souls? Hasn’t his ministry borne so much fruit?
He finally agreed to follow the angel and to his utter disappointment, he found that he was rewarded with a small cottage house. He had expected something grander and palatial. Finally, the angel asked him, “When you started the work of this fellowship, did you get instructions from the Lord? Think carefully. Where did that idea come from?” He recalled the first time he mooted the idea and found that it was just his own good idea but it didn’t come from God. He recalled that God didn’t speak to him about it. Then the angel showed him his personal records. He was stunned by what was recorded and the subsequent consequences that he didn’t see. He saw how many of his actions, though outwardly praiseworthy, were in fact leading many away from their own true callings when they jumped on the bandwagon he started. So stunned was he that he remained dumbfounded for a long time. He was so flabbergasted that all he could utter repeatedly was, “You mean, I did that? You mean, I did that?”
HEAVENLY REWARD: SMALL TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT FOR INDONESIAN CHRISTIAN MARTYR
REASON: WORK UNAUTHORIZED
NEED TO ENROL IN SCHOOL OF ORIENTATION ON HOW TO SERVE GOD FOR LONGER PERIOD BECAUSE HE ABSORBED TOO MUCH WRONG TEACHING
Another Christian who was part of this expedition to heaven also met another preacher in heaven. He was an Indonesian but he gave his life to the Lord in a Christian meeting. He was so zealous for the Lord that he began preaching to his fellow countrymen and won souls for God. He even infuriated the members of a large Christian denomination in his country that he was nearly martyred by them. He carried on preaching but finally the heathens martyred him. He went to heaven and stood at the gate of heaven to wait for Jesus to come out to meet him. Jesus didn’t come out to see him. He also protested and said that he had been martyred for Jesus and he wants to see the Jesus he died for. He waited at the gate of heaven for six days and finally, an angel told him that Jesus will see him in a year’s time. He relented (“At least that is better than nothing.”) and followed the angel to his chosen abode. As they walked on, he saw many big and beautiful mansions along the way and he thought to himself, “Surely one of these is mine. After all, didn’t I die as a martyr for the Lord?” They kept on walking until they went to the outskirts of that city where the houses are fewer and smaller and more scattered. The angel finally showed him his place – a small two room apartment. He was so shocked that he fainted and was insensible for six days. When he woke up, he found that he was surrounded by a group of pastors looking at him sympathetically. They said to him, “Here’s another hard nut to crack. Don’t worry, we ourselves were hard nuts just like you!” And they all had a good laugh. This group of pastors was similarly shocked when they came to heaven and saw their small reward but now after going through the school of orientation on how to serve God, they understood what this Indonesian Christian was going through. The reason why their reward was so small is despite doing so much work, most of their work was not instructed and authorized by God. They just thought that it was a good idea to do this work and that work. In the end, there is no reward for their unauthorized work, no matter how good or noble. By grace, they made it to heaven. This Indonesian Christian was scheduled to go to the school of orientation for three years but because of so much wrong teaching that he had absorbed, he had to extend his classes to six years. This school of orientation may take from one year to twelve years, depending on the state of knowledge and condition of the Christian.
ENOCH’S EARLY YEARS IN HEAVEN
I heard the testimony of a Christian who was brought up to heaven on a study tour. He was made to understand what happened when Enoch came up to heaven. The first thing he asked for in heaven was a wife. He told the angel to find him a wife. The angel just smiled about it but kept quiet. After waiting for so long, he asked the angel again. “I told you to look for a wife for me, but yet so far, you have not done so.” The angel didn’t know what to do. Enoch was the first human being to enter heaven, and there was none of his kind in heaven yet. Besides, in heaven, there is no marriage. Finally, the angel brought the matter to the Holy Spirit and asked Him what to do. The Holy Spirit then visited Enoch and said, “Enoch, there is no marriage in heaven. You can’t find a wife here. Do you remember that when you were still on earth, that many people came to you for counselling? What were most of the problems?” Enoch thought for a while and suddenly realized that most of the problems were related to marriage – husband problem, wife problem, mother in law problem, children problem, etc. “For that reason,” the Holy Spirit continued, “There is no marriage here in heaven.” In another separate incident, Enoch was putting up fences around his house in heaven. The Holy Spirit came around and asked him what he was doing. “Oh, I am preparing for the storms.” Apparently, he was so used to having storms in his life on earth that he did the same preparation in heaven. The Holy Spirit told him, “There is no storm in heaven.” The angel who was escorting the Christian around said that it took about ten earthly years for Enoch to get used to life in heaven. He further said, “Tell the Christians on earth that they must live according to life in heaven so that when they come up here, they will not have adjustment problems. In heaven, the people begin the day with praise and worship to God. That is how you should begin your day on earth, with praise and worship to God.”
ARMY CAMP IN HEAVEN
I heard the testimony of a Christian who was taken on a study tour of heaven. An angel who was escorting him around brought him to a place where there were giant warrior angels, as tall as twenty storey buildings. Of course, he related he was afraid, as he felt that these giant warrior angels, could easily squash him under their feet by mistake. The escorting angels told him not to be afraid as no such thing would happen. Then, one of the warrior angels bend down and took this Christian up on his palm, and carried him to the level of his face. He said he was staring into the giant eyeballs of this angel. Later on, after being led down to the ground, he walked around the camp and saw the giant angels cleaning and polishing their weapons of spears, knives, bows and arrows and every imaginable weapon. He asked the escorting angel, “Whose camp is this and what are they doing?” “The angel told him, “This camp belongs to Michael, the Archangel, and is one thousandth of his camp. There are 999 other camps similar to this scattered all over heaven. They are polishing their weapons in preparation for the end times. In those days, Satan will loose his warrior angels too that he has reserved for these end times too. These warrior angels of Michael will fight Satan’s warrior angels too.”
HALL OF TRUTH AND SCHOOL OF ORIENTATION
In heaven, there is a Hall of Truth. Everyone will have to enter that hall and experience the life force of Truth. That truth will expose every falsehood, false ways, false ideas and teachings, false behaviour and everything that is even remotely false. It is a time of great breaking down and you will experience brokenness according to the measure of falsehood lodging in your spirit, soul and body. After that, the person will have to enrol in a school of orientation where he or she will have to learn the correct ways of God. For those who have learnt correct truth while on earth, their time in this school will be shorter. But, those who have absorbed many erroneous teachings, their time in this school will be longer. Hence, while we are still living on earth, we should cry out to the Holy Ghost daily to teach us the truth and unlearn, remove and repent of every false teachings we have learnt. This school of orientation takes from one year to twelve years, depending on the amount of untruths that the Christian has absorbed during his or her time on earth. A Christian who went there on a study trip to heaven reported that many who had to be in that school of orientation for longer periods were pastors and ministers. They were the ones who had more knowledge than the average Christian in the pew but unfortunately, most of their knowledge were dark knowledge and inaccurate knowledge about the ways of God. Therefore, they had to spend more time in this school of orientation to unlearn what they had studied, absorbed, lived and taught to others. If we do not seek the truth here on earth, we will have to undergo the breaking down process in the Hall of Truth and longer time in the school of orientation in heaven.
WORSHIPPING ANGELS
There was a Christian in a local church that was sent to heaven on a study tour and to report on his findings there. In one particular place, he saw angels worshipping the Lord as in a choir. Then, he noticed that there was no worship leader leading the worshipping angels. He turned around and asked the angel accompanying him why there was no worship leader. There was silence for some time. Then, very reluctantly the angel told him that there was never any worship leader since the rebellion in heaven and Lucifer was cast down to earth. It was as if the angel wished that the Christian didn’t ask that question since the memory of that rebellion was still fresh in the angel’s mind. The Christian then went on to ask how long did the battle take place in heaven. The angel told him that the battle between the angels who were loyal to God and the rebelling angels took six days before Lucifer and his fallen angels were cast down to the earth. On the seventh day, heaven rested. This was the time the dinosaurs roamed the earth when Lucifer and his fallen angels were confined to earth. God left the earth untouched for millions of years before He created Adam and Eve.
NUMBER OF HUMANS IN HEAVEN
According to one heaven’s report to a Christian who went up to heaven, the number of human beings in heaven is about 17 million now. One of the purposes for the redemption of men is to bring forth a worship that was unattainable by angels.
FESTIVAL IN HEAVEN
I must tell you about a heavenly visit made by a church member. The occasion was a festival in heaven where all the saints were invited to this great banquet hall. The angel told this Christian that heaven observes two festivals in a year, and each festival can last for five to seven days. One year in heaven is equivalent to two years on earth. On arriving at the great banquet hall, this Christian saw many tables and chairs and he wondered how the angel escorting him could know where his seat would be. That was no problem for the angel simply led him to a seat in a place reserved for him. While seated there, he noticed that those chairs that were closest to the Throne of God, was the most beautiful and sparkling beyond description whereas those furthest from the Throne were made of hard wood. The angel told him that the saints who were closest to God while on earth were given those special beautiful seats, according to the state of their spiritual life and intimacy with God when they died. Those whose seats were ordinary had led ordinary lives on earth and were not that close to God. So, in the great banquet hall, you get to fellowship with saints of like spirituality with you. This should give us an incentive to develop great intimacy with God while we are still living on earth.
LOVING THE LORD
There was a person who died and went to heaven and came back. Jesus met that person and said, “You don’t really love Me.” He replied, “Yes, Lord I do. I spent four hours a day with You. I read Your word. I preached. I have won souls for You. I have done this. I have done that.” Jesus said, “You don’t really love Me.” In the end, the Lord said, “You have this wrong relationship with that other person who is a part of My body. If you can’t love him, you can’t love Me.”
HOW THE SPIRIT OF ERROR OPERATES
Once, a local pastor was led by the Holy Ghost to summon and judge the spirit of deception. After a few moments of silence, he called out the name of the demon. Somebody in his congregation started manifesting violently. He commanded the demon to come to the microphone, and the person having the demon was led forcibly to the microphone by an unseen force. Some parts of the conversation went like this:
Pastor: Who sent you here?
Demon: Satan
Pastor: What for?
Demon: To destroy the work of God here
Pastor: Why do you come to this church to disturb the services here?
Demon: Because you speak the truth. I hate the truth. It is setting many God’s people free.
Pastor: How do you disturb God’s people?
Demon: When a pastor is preparing his teachings, I help him to prepare. When he teaches his congregation what I tell him to teach, I lodge in the minds of those who accept that wrong teaching. I hide behind that teaching and later destroy that person’s life through that dark knowledge. I make him suffer poverty, sickness, and hardships. I make that person think that he is suffering for Jesus.
Pastor: How come you can teach a pastor how to prepare his sermons?
Demon: Most pastors do not consult the Holy Ghost when they prepare their sermons. They rely on their analytical minds to understand the Word. That is where we come in. First, we give them some deep teachings and then we add in the poison. These pastors do not inquire of the Holy Ghost. They think that they are guided by the Holy Ghost but they deceive themselves because they hardly fellowship with the Holy Ghost. How can the Holy Ghost teach you anything if you don’t fellowship with the Holy Ghost? So, we give them some deep teachings and then we add in the poison that they cannot detect. They think the first teaching is good, so they automatically think that the poison we are giving is also true. If they have the Holy Ghost, they would be able to detect the poison. That is how we have spread much confusion among the people of God.
Pastor: Do you specialise in this work?
Demon: Yes. I even attended Bible College in hell and I got a honors degree in theology as well.
Pastor: What? You study the Bible in hell too?
Demon: Yes. Everyday, we have to study the Bible in order to learn how to twist and turn the Scriptures and spread the wrong teachings. Many people just assume that as long as you can give Bible chapter and verse, you are doctrinally sound. They do not inquire of the Holy Ghost and they are no match for our subtle and twisted logic. Everyday, we prepare the sermon outlines for pastors and bible teachers. Many people read the Bible without the Holy Ghost and that is where they go wrong.
Pastor: Do you know that your time on earth is up?
Demon: Yes, I know
Pastor: Did an angel serve you the document from the Lord Jesus Christ?
Demon: Yes, he did. (The document is a notice from Jesus that the demon has been judged and his time is up and must now be consigned to his place in hell).
Pastor: By the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, all your legal rights are stripped and you are consigned to the place assigned to you. Go, in Jesus’ Name.
The demon let loose a mournful cry and departs from the person, who later collapsed to the floor.
Now, some Christians hold that you should not conduct any conversation with the demons in a deliverance case. This is generally sound wisdom, for Satan is the father of lies. When he speak lies, he speak naturally. It’s easy for an untrained and inexperienced minister of deliverance to be deceived by demons in the deliverance case if he is not in tune with the Spirit of truth. However, this is not an absolute rule for we see Jesus conducting a conversation with the demons as well. The general rule is that you must be under the control of the Holy Ghost. If you are under instructions from the Holy Ghost not to hold a conversation with the demons, follow that. However, if the Holy Ghost directs you to hold such a conversation, it is to expose the strategies of the devil.
KATHRYN KUHLMAN
A recent report from a visit to heaven clarified why Kathryn Kulman suffered from heart disease and was not healed despite many anointed men and women prayed over her. Some Christians from a local church had made a study trip to heaven under the direction of the Holy Ghost. One of them spoke to Kathryn Kuhlman and she said the reason why the anointing stopped towards the end of her life and ministry was God wanted her to retire and spend her remaining years with Him. However, she still insisted on serving God despite the anointing being stopped. When she persisted in her willfulness, the Lord had to allow heart disease to afflict her in order to slow her down. That was why she was not healed, despite being visited by so many anointed men and women of God. God is always gracious to His servants. After so many years of labouring for Him, God may grant a period of rest to His servants to spend time with Him before they depart from this earth. However, some do not take heed to God’ desires and in the end, are afflicted with sicknesses and diseases.
STEPHEN – THE GIFT OF MARTYRDOM
David Yonggi Cho was sharing about one of his church memebers who died and went to heaven and how he prayed and that person came back again. He says that in heaven during that time, he met some of the people in the books of Acts, including Stephen, the one who was stoned. The church member asked Stephen, “How was it like when you died?” He said there was a gift of martyrdom that took place and he did not feel the pain. All he felt was the presence of God. That was a gift of martyrdom that was operating.
