The HORROR of Facing Death Meeting Jesus FACE TO FACE

On July 28^th 1998 I had the most horrific experience, I died of a heart attack and instead of meeting Jesus I found myself on my way to hell. I was a Christian and I believed that if I die I would go to heaven but I was on my way to hell. The horror and the fear is indescribable, knowing that you are going to hell and you will never come back, you are doomed for eternity!

We will all die. It is a terrible thing to meet with the living God. Most people will not see Jesus. They will come to that door and He will say to them:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.” Most people have no relationship with Jesus. Most people are deceived into thinking that because they believe in Jesus they have eternal life, but if you do not FACE JESUS NOW, if you don't seek Him NOW and live in the fear of God and seek to always be pleasing to Him, if you don't hear His voice now, if you don't LISTEN to Him and you do not FOLLOW Him, if you do not LIVE TO PLEASE HIM, He will turn you away! Your Bible reading and your church attendance will not save you. All that matters is whether Jesus KNOWS you and whether He is pleased with you. He IS the LIVING GOD and He reveals Himself to those who earnestly seek Him, who LIVE IN HIS FEAR. Who SERVE Him and who always seek to be pleasing to Him.

Those who KNOW Jesus Christ LIVE IN THE FEAR OF GOD every day. I love Jesus but I FEAR HIM and I RESPECT HIM and I LIVE IN THE FEAR OF GOD every moment because I KNOW HIM! If you have met Jesus you will know the fear of God. Most people do not know the fear of God because they do not know Jesus and that is why they carry on living recklessly, they disregard Jesus and they believe that they are saved, they believe other people, they believe lies!

Seek Jesus and get to KNOW Him and then you will fear Him, you will OBEY Him and then you will make sure that the day that you die, Jesus will KNOW YOU and that He will not turn you away. Have you met Jesus? Do you KNOW Him? Do you FOLLOW Him? Do you LISTEN to His voice every day?

Do not leave it to chance, get to know Jesus TODAY and STAY WITH HIM until the very end. It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the Living God UNPREPARED.

May Jesus bless you

My BIG Mistake

When I was young I was eager for Jesus. I was witnessing, praying for the sick, street preaching and spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. But then I met up with a group of people who were casting out demons and prophesying (personal prophecies), and I got involved with these people. They were also following after the teachings of some American prophet. They influenced me to leave my job and join them to evangelize. While I was with this group I became attracted to a girl but they prophesied to this girl that she should marry some other young man in the group and they tried to influence me to marry another girl in the group. This girl that I was attracted to immediately responded to their prophecy and became affectionate to the other person whom they prophesied about.

I was mad. But I was mad at God not mad at the people that I had wrongly followed. The mistake I made was that I was following Jesus until I became part of a group and followed after people. Then I left Jesus and for many years I did not serve the Lord.

That is the mistake that many people make, they take their eyes off Jesus and they follow people. After many years away from the Lord Jesus, with much suffering, because of my own foolishness, the Lord Jesus brought me back to Him. But the lesson that I learned was to NEVER TRUST ANY PERSON again, to put my trust in Jesus ALONE, to LISTEN to HIM and to FOLLOW HIM, because Jesus Christ ALONE is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE.

I learned a very tough lesson but today I can WARN other people NOT TO GO AFTER ANY PREACHER, NOT TO JOIN ANY GROUP but to FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST ALONE! Do not take the advice of people, PRAY and ASK JESUS and He will guide you, He will give you wisdom and you will get to KNOW HIM. After some forty years I learned this girl that also listened to the prophecy had a disastrous marriage, she was divorced after five years and her life was wrecked.

If you follow after people you will be destroyed. You need to follow after Jesus Christ. Serve Him and TRUST HIM ALONE. Trust no man. Get your focus on Jesus. He will guide your footsteps and He will never forsake you, He will never let you down. But when you take your eyes off Jesus YOU ARE DOOMED!

Follow Jesus Christ ALONE. Follow no man.

May Jesus bless you.

Your TESTIMONY will save you

Jesus Christ called us to be His witnesses in this world, to be the Light of the world. But if we are ashamed of Him and we deny Him in this world then He will also deny us. Jesus said that: “whoever is ashamed of Me and My words amongst this wicked generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory with His Holy angels.”

We are the Light of the world and our light must shine. Jesus said that :”if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is not the darkness.” If Jesus cannot be seen in us, if we are not light in this world, if we are not witnesses for Jesus then He will DENY US and he will REJECT us. He will say before His Father:”I do not know this person,” and we will end up in eternal damnation. What will save us is our TESTIMONY OF Jesus Christ.

Are we proclaiming the Kingdom of God? Are we telling the world that Jesus Christ is KING, He is MY KING and His WORDS are the WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE? If we are ashamed of Him He will also be ashamed of us. What will save you is your testimony of Jesus Christ, not merely saying:”I am a Christian,” but your testimony of your daily walk with Him, your relationship with Him. Does the world KNOW that you are a man or a woman of God, that you walk with God? Do you stand out for Jesus?

May Jesus bless you.

Share your EXPERIENCE

You can take my possessions away from me, you can take my life, but there is one thing that you cannot take and that is my experience, my experience with Jesus Christ, my testimony, my relationship with Jesus. And that is what I am here to share. Many believers only have their Bible knowledge and their beliefs to share but they don't have a relationship with Jesus Christ because Jesus is not real to them.

Jesus Christ revealed Himself to me, He called me. He made me His servant and I thank Him that I was willing to give up all to follow Him and that is why I have a testimony of the IMPOSSIBLE. Jesus guides you along the IMPOSSIBLE WAYS. You are blessed with trials and tribulations and IMPOSSIBLE DIFFICULTIES but through everything Jesus guides you and you look back and you say that it is only because of Jesus, it is only because you followed Him that you could pass that road, that you could go through what you went through.

Jesus does not take you along POSSIBLE and that is why, if you do not follow Jesus you don't have a testimony. But I can look back and testify to you, Jesus Christ is ALIVE. He is God Almighty because I know Him and He guides me every day. Without Jesus I can do nothing. Without Jesus I cannot live and that is why I share my testimony. I share Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is ALIVE!

Do you know Jesus Christ? What is your experience? Can you only tell me Bible verses or tell me that you BELIEVE that you are saved? Or do you KNOW Jesus Christ? Do you know Him for REAL and do you have a REAL RELATIONSHIP with the Living God? Do you KNOW in your HEART OF HEARTS that nothing can separate you from Jesus because Jesus is faithful and He is ALIVE? How well do you KNOW Jesus Christ? What is YOUR testimony?

May Jesus bless you.

How Fresh Is Your Testimony?

Many people testify of meeting Jesus Christ many years ago, of Him coming into their lives and how they changed but, what happened after that? If we do not have a FRESH TESTIMONY every day then we are not walking with Jesus.

Many people met Jesus years ago and then they believed they were saved but they never stayed with Him, they never followed Him. They believed that they had ARRIVED, they had SALVATION SECURITY but they have no relationship with Jesus Christ. If we do not experience Him every day, if we do not GO AFTER Him every day, if we do not LISTEN to Him, HEAR His VOICE, FOLLOW Him, LEARN from Him, be TAUGHT by Him EVERY DAY, then we are not with Him any more and we do not have a FRESH TESTIMONY, we are just deceiving ourselves.

How fresh is YOUR testimony? How REAL is your relationship with Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

Don't Go Naked

Government officials, soldiers and policemen wear uniforms that identify them with their job, with their country. They also wear name tags that identify THEM. The soldier of Jesus Christ also identifies with Jesus, he also PUTS ON Jesus when he wakes up every morning, he is the LIGHT of the world and his light shines wherever he goes.

If we do not put on Jesus every morning when we get up then we are not clothed, we are NAKED. Do you put on Jesus every morning? Are you clothed or do you go naked? Are you the LIGHT OF THE WORLD? I hardly ever go out without a t-shirt that identifies me as a child of God, a t-shirt with a message that warns people to REPENT, that tells them that I am a child of God and I identify with Jesus. On my car there are stickers that warn people to REPENT, that challenge them whether they are followers of Christ or whether they don't care about Jesus.

Do YOU identify with Jesus? Are you the LIGHT OF THE WORLD? Or do you go NAKED? When Jesus comes, will He find you clothed in your UNIFORM or will you be naked? Are you shy to identify yourself with Jesus. If we deny HIM before this wicked generation, He will certainly also deny us before His heavenly Father and His holy angels.

May Jesus bless you.

When Jesus calls you

When Jesus calls you, you have to answer to the call and you have to go. You have to follow where He guides you and DO what He tells you to do. If you don't YOU WILL PERISH! Jesus called me and at first I did not go but He treated me harshly and He made me understand that if I do not answer the call He will cut me off.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit will get cut off. Every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will be cut off and burned. If we do not remain IN Jesus we cannot bear fruit. If we do not OBEY and FOLLOW Him we are not part of His kingdom, we are worthless and we will get CUT OFF.
Jesus spoke to me in many ways and He made me understand that if I do not answer the call He will cut me off. I had a heart attack in1998, and I died, and I found myself on my way to hell, even though I was a believer, even though I was baptized in water, baptized in the Holy Spirit but I was not following Jesus where He wanted to use me. In 2008 Jesus told me about the testimony of Mary K Baxter, It was not a man that told me, it was not a human. God Himself spoke to me. He said:”Heaven to hell Baxter.“ I found the testimony of Mary K Baxter and I heard how she told about people who were called by God and they did not answer the call, and THEY WERE IN HELL. THAT WOKE ME UP and I started following Jesus in ALL ERNESTY. I realized that if I do not go where He sends me and DO what He tells me to do, He will cut me off.
Jesus has called many people, they refuse to answer the call. THEY WILL PERISH! Others whom He called sold their services to church organizations, they became hirelings, because they did not believe and trust Jesus. They sold their services to a church organization and they speak the teachings and the words of the churches, THEY ARE NOT OBEYING JESUS. They are not serving Jesus, they are serving the churches, THEY ARE SLAVES OF MEN. THEY WILL GET CUT OFF if they do not repent and follow Jesus, and DO what HE tells them to do.
Jesus has called many, even those who are watching (reading/listening to) me now. Jesus called YOU, my friend. If you do not answer to the call and follow HIM, listen to HIM and OBEY HIM, He will reject YOU because when He called YOU would not answer. So YOU will also call and He will not answer. If you do not answer to the call, YOU WILL PERISH.
You cannot serve Jesus in your own merry way. You cannot plug Jesus into your life and your way of living. Either you follow Jesus, OBEY Him and DO what He tells you to do or He is not your LORD and your MASTER and He will reject you also like you rejected Him.
Jesus is calling YOU, NOW to follow Him. If you want eternal life, TRUST HIM, OBEY HIM and FOLLOW HIM. REPENT and BE BAPTIZED. Seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit, LISTEN to His voice and FOLLOW HIM. Seek Him with all your heart and He will guide you, but reject Him, refuse Him and you will perish.
Jesus is calling you. ANSWER NOW!

May Jesus bless you.

When technology fails

In our modern era the world is increasingly dependent on technology and when technology fails everything comes to a standstill. If you are a pilot and you are flying by GPS and that GPS blacks out then you have got serious problems. I have had that experience.
I use a software program to manage the passwords on my computer. This morning I did an update and I lost all my data. For some reason my backup was not up to date and you can imagine the panic. But I prayed and I said:”Lord, why has this happened? Please help me!” The critical password came to my mind. I typed it in and I could access the account.
Technology fails, but the Holy Spirit of God cannot fail and God knows all things. All we need to do is cry out and say:”Lord, help me please!” He says if we need wisdom we must ask it from God. God knows all things, He even knows the passwords to our critical accounts.
Technology fails but Jesus NEVER fails. Those who trust HIM will never be disappointed.

May Jesus bless you.

Educated but Ignorant

Most people who profess to be Christians do not know Jesus Christ, they maybe know the Bible but they do not know Jesus. We cannot know Jesus Christ by reading the Bible we can only know ABOUT Him but then we need to meet Him, get on our knees, repent of sin, be baptized in water, be baptized in water, receive the Holy Spirit; Jesus Christ Himself, He IS the SPIRIT. HE will guide us, teach us, IF we KNOW Him.

But most believers don't know Him. They keep on reading the Bible but they never get to KNOW Jesus and he will say to them one day:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”

I KNOW Jesus Christ. I have no desire to read about Him because His Spirit lives in me. He guides me every day. That is why I am a witness of Jesus. Jesus is my LORD, He is my LIFE, He is my reality. You cannot get to know Jesus Christ through reading ABOUT Him. If you have not met Him and you do not follow Him daily, if your relationship with Him is not REAL, YOU ARE LOST! Then you do not know Jesus and HE DOES NOT KNOW YOU.

Do you know Jesus Christ FOR REAL?

May Jesus bless you.

Jesus saved me from hell

Just like millions of Christian believers I was also deceived by false teachings. I thought that I was on my way to heaven until, by His grace, Jesus Christ woke me up. On July 28^th, 1998 I had a heart attack, I died, I left my body and I found myself going down a deep black hole on my way to hell. But Jesus had mercy on me and He let me come back to warn other believers that hell is real and most of them believe a bunch of lies.

The road to eternal life is extremely narrow and I found that WAY, that WAY is Jesus Christ ALONE and OBEDIENCE to Him. Very few people are on that road. I was not on that road. I was on the religious road. I WAS baptized in water, I WAS baptized in the Holy Spirit, I did speak in tongues. I know the Bible well, BUT I did not OBEY the words of Jesus Christ. I also believed that I was saved. I also believed that you only need to believe in Jesus and confess Him to be saved, but that is not true!

I found myself on my way to hell because I was a wicked person. Jesus will say to many believers who SIN, who DISOBEY Him, He will say:”Go away from Me, I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.” Without holiness, UTTER HOLINESS and utter obedience to Jesus Christ, you will NOT enter the kingdom of heaven. The door is NARROW and FEW there be that find it, very few. That is why Jesus warned us to STRIVE HARD. That is why He said we have to deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Him every day UNTIL THE END, if we want eternal life.

Very few professing believers will have eternal life because they have been deceived, they are not living in holiness. They are not obeying Jesus, they do not have a REAL relationship with Jesus Christ, they are just busy with religion. They are deceived. I was also deceived but JESUS SAVED ME FROM HELL, He taught me the FEAR OF GOD. I fear God, I FEAR Jesus. It was for ONE sin that Adam died, it was for one disobedience that Moses did not enter the promised land.

Jesus requires UTTER holiness, UTTER obedience! If we love Him we will OBEY Him. Do you KNOW Jesus or will you also be disappointed when He says to YOU:”Go away from Me, I never knew you, you worker of wickedness?”

Narrow is that door and FEW there be that find it. I fear God, I fear Jesus! I fear His words, I seek Him EVERY DAY and I follow him because I have come to REALLY know Him.

Do you REALLY know Jesus Christ? Or are you just deceived into thinking that you are saved but you are on your way to hell? Make sure today! Repent, obey Jesus, live holy, seek Him every day, seek His voice and you will find Him. Endure until the END or you won't make it!

Wake up before it is too late!

May Jesus bless you

Why I do not sin

I am not a good person and I have done many evil things in my life even after I first met Jesus, but since I have come to know Jesus better I know that He does not tolerate any disobedience or any sin. The road that you are on determines where you will end up.

If we are on the wide road to destruction, that is where we will end up. But if we want to have eternal life and spend eternity with Jesus then we must now already start spending our life with and for Jesus.

I DO NOT SIN. My mind is always on Jesus and I am always seeking to please Him because I know that that is the only road that leads to life. It is not because I am good. It is because I know Jesus. I love Him, I fear Him and I obey Him. That is my choice. I do not want to go back on the broad road to destruction.

Jesus does not reveal Himself to you if you live in sin. You have to be pure and holy, and then He will speak to you. He will guide you. You will enjoy His companionship, His fellowship and His presence, but the moment you sin, that sin comes between you and Jesus and if you do not repent you will perish if you should die at that moment.

It was for ONE SIN that Adam died. God has not changed. Jesus said:”Be ye perfect like your Father in heaven is perfect.” He requires a PERFECT relationship with us. If you follow Jesus, you DO NOT SIN. King David said:”I have kept Thy words in my heart that I will not sin against Thee.”Psalm 119:11.

Jesus lives in my heart and I WILL NOT SIN against Him.

May Jesus bless you

Fear the Lord - HELL IS REAL - My Testimony

The reason why believers go on sinning and live their lives to please themselves is because they do not fear God, It is because they do not know Jesus. I was also like that until one morning July 28, 1998. I had a heart attack. I was a Christian, I was baptized in water, baptized in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, praying every night. I was a “good” Christian but I found myself on my way to hell. I was going down a deep black hole and I knew I was not coming back. I KNEW I was on my way to hell. And I pleaded with Jesus. I said:”Lord, Please let me come back! Please let me come back!” I had nothing to offer. While going down that black hole I saw my young son standing at my grave and I knew it WAS THE END. But I pleaded, I said:”Lord, please let me come back! Please let me go and tell people that HELL IS REAL, that they must repent and serve Thee.” And God let me come back, Jesus let me come back to come and warn the world, to come and warn you. Friend, you must fear God. You must obey Jesus, you must live to please Him. You cannot live to please yourself, you cannot live like the world, you will perish! You will go into hell. I was a Christian, I was a good Christian. Jesus wants total obedience to His words, total devotion. You cannot serve God halfheartedly, you have got to FEAR HIM. You cannot go on sinning, YOU WILL PERISH IN HELL. I fear God. I fear God above everything else, I fear Him! Jesus said:”Do not fear those who can kill you and after that they can do nothing but FEAR HIM who after He has killed has the power to throw into hell.” That is Jesus. I don't fear death, I will die again but I fear what will happen after death and I want to be prepared the next time that Jesus comes to fetch me. I don't want to go down that black hole again. I want to be ready! I am warning you, my friend, fear God! Fear Jesus, OBEY His words. If you look at a woman to desire her you have already committed adultery in your heart and you will perish in hell. Those are the words of Jesus. That is how serious He is about sin! You might say:”I am not an adulterer, I have never committed adultery but if you look at a woman to desire her you are an adulterer in the eyes of God. Fear God, my friend, FEAR GOD, REPENT, STOP SINNING, BE HOLY or else you will perish! It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. I fear Him and that is why I am hear to warn you, FEAR THE LORD, OBEY HIM, STOP SINNING, LIVE HOLY or you will perish. May Jesus bless you.

BECOME A GIVER

Jesus said it is more blessed to give than to receive and He Himself came and He gave Himself as a ransom for many. It is often those people who have every little or nothing in life that give the most. The biggest gift that we can give a person is JESUS, because Jesus is eternal life.

There is a man in Australia, Nick Vujicic, he was born without limbs, no arms no legs but he is a motivational speaker, He gives people Jesus, he gives them hope. He goes where other people cannot go. He HAS to give because he has Jesus.

Do you have Jesus in you? Do you HAVE to give? Do you HAVE a testimony of what Jesus has done in your life? How much Jesus have you got inside of you, that you can share with other people and give them hope, so that they can also have eternal life, in Christ?

Have you become a giver? Are you giving other people hope? Are you taking them to Jesus so that they can have eternal life?

May Jesus bless you.

GOD STOPPED THE FIRE - My Testimony

I want to share with you my testimony how God stopped a runaway fire. I owned 2 acres on a large estate and we were burning some dry grass on my property when suddenly the wind came up and blew this fire out of control. We were suddenly engulfed in flames. There was no way that we could stop this fire. I could see that whole estate burning down and us being burned as well.

We just cried out and said:”Lord Help!” and suddenly the wind turned and took the fire the other direction, took it towards the road where it burned out and there was no damage. If that fire had continued the way it was it would have killed us and it would have burned down that whole estate with all those houses.

God is faithful and He answers the prayers of His children. If we live in holiness and we obey Him we don't need to pray a long prayer. We just say:”LORD HELP ME PLEASE!” And He helps us! God is almighty and He knows how to look after His children who love Him and who serve Him.

May Jesus bless you.

Why no miracles?

God has not changed. Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever. The reason why people do not see and experience miracles is because they do not pray. They have no relationship with Jesus, they do not believe in Him, they do not follow Him. They do not receive because they do not ask. Ask and you will receive and your joy will be full and then you must honor God. You must testify and tell the world what Jesus has done for you. And if you do not have a testimony, if you do not experience any miracles, then you surely do not know Jesus!
May Jesus bless you.

What Happens the Moment You Die

The moment you die it is like you are walking into an atmosphere that is clear, your senses are acute, your hearing is sharp, your sight is sharp, everything is sharp and you KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING. It happened to me in 1998. I had a heart attack and I died and I KNEW I WAS ON MY WAY TO HELL. It was the most horrific experience. I was a Christian, I was not a sinner, I was a serious Christian but I was serving myself. I was not serving Jesus.

I thought I was saved and I thought that if I would die I would have eternal life but I FOUND MYSELF ON MY WAY TO HELL. Jesus gave me a second chance to come back and to warn people that if we do not live for Jesus then we have no business in His Kingdom. Just merely believing in Jesus and not sinning is not enough, you need to love Jesus and live for Him. I was living for myself. I did not wake up in the morning thinking about Jesus and His Kingdom. It was all about me and I kind of fitted Jesus into my life. It was NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM. Either Jesus is our life and we live to please Him or we do not have life. Do not be mistaken, do not think that if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and you believe in Him, don't think it is enough. Don't think that if you are living holiness that it is enough. THAT IS NOT ENOUGH! What matters is your relationship with Jesus. Do you really love Him? Do you really know Him? Do you know His voice? Do you care about Him? Do you care about His Kingdom? If you don't care about Jesus and about His Kingdom? If you don't care about Jesus and about His Kingdom, you have got no business in heaven and you are certainly on your way to hell.

Salvation is KNOWING JESUS, OBEYING HIM, LOVING HIM and LIVING FOR HIM. Dear friend I am warning you, get to know Jesus for real or you might have a very, very bad surprise like I had. Get your relationship with Jesus right, while you still have the opportunity. You REALLY need to LOVE Him, you REALLY need to FOLLOW Him. You REALLY need to KNOW Him very well. Knowing your Bible, being part of a church is no good friend (not enough). The moment you die, either you KNOW Jesus and He knows you and He is pleased with you or He will say to you:”GO AWAY I NEVER KNEW YOU!” Don't wait until it is too late!

May Jesus bless you.

Divine Healing Jesus Care - My Testimony

I want to share with you my testimony. Both my wife and I are on Jesus Care . Neither of us is on medication or on prescription medication. It doesn't mean that we have not had medical problems. Both of us have been through some serious problems. I have had some very serious back pain and recently I had a knee that was extremely painful, I could hardly walk but we prayed and Jesus healed me. My wife anointed me with oil, we prayed for my knee and Jesus healed me.

My wife has also been sick but we prayed and Jesus is not just our provider but He is also our healer. It does not mean that we do not respect medical science but we give glory to Jesus who keeps us alive. Jesus cares for those who seek Him and who follow Him. By His stripes we are healed, we must just pray and believe. If we ask, we receive. Jesus rewards those who diligently seek Him.

May Jesus bless you.

The shock of my life

I was a born again Christian, not living in sin, baptized in water, baptized in the Holy Spirit. I was receiving revelation from Jesus, I experienced His guidance in my life and I was living what I thought was a good Christian life. We were reading the Bible at meal times, praying as a family. We were teaching our children about Jesus, had no television, never went to the movies or places of worldly pleasure. My children did not go to discos or hang out with friends, never slept out. My wife never worked out so the children came home from school and did their homework and their chores. They had the contract to deliver a weekly newspaper, which kept them very busy two afternoons a week and also earned them some good pocket money.

I had an executive job as general manger of a manufacturing company. I was not ashamed to testify for Jesus, and managed my business so others knew I was a Christian. I had a track record of fixing unprofitable companies turning them to productivity and profitability. I had a reputation for being a straight honest business man who did not accept half measures or poor performance, neither in my own company nor in the service we delivered to our customers.

We were financially blessed and by my understanding we were doing right in the sight of God and Jesus was pleased with us. Then I had the shock of my life, I had a heart attack, died, left my body and found myself going down a deep black hole, on my way to hell. I knew I was not coming back, it was final, my time was up. (My detailed testimony is on my website and youtube channel) I pleaded with Jesus to let me come back and warn others of the reality of hell and to prepare. Jesus did let me come back but my relationship with Jesus would never be the same after that. I had the fear of God in me and still do.

I was so sure that I was right with Jesus and then I had to find that I was on my way to hell. By all standards that I knew from reading the Bible I believed that I was doing good and I was saved. What I did not understand was that I was living for ME, not for Jesus. Until then everything had been about ME, my achievement, everything that Jesus had done for me and given me, even the baptism in the Holy Spirit, gift of speaking in tongues, revelations, dreams, guidance, answering my prayers, blessing me and my family financially and in all ways, physically, with good health and prosperity. Even with all that I was going to hell.

I started warning people, sharing my testimony. Soon I learned that most people do not really listen to what you are telling them. I went to churches and gave my testimony, but they were not interested. they want sensation. It is all about their church and their own importance. They are not interested in testimonies of Jesus, especially when you tell people to repent and explain that you were a good Christian and found yourself on your way to hell. I made fliers and put them in people's mailboxes but rarely received feedback. With time I testified less and basically gave up but that was a mistake.

I had to learn, it is not about results of reaction, IT IS ABOUT OBEDIENCE AND BEING PLEASING TO JESUS, DOING WHAT JESUS WANTS YOU TO DO. It is about following the Master, waiting on Him, seeking Him in prayer. Jesus wants ABSOLUTE HOLINESS, He does not tolerate disobedience, not one sin, not one evil thought, no rebellion. It is all about Jesus and His Kingdom, not about us. We MUST CHASE AFTER JESUS, FOLLOW HIM.

Jesus did not leave me alone, He was teaching me, coaching me. The devil was attacking me with fear about another heart attack. I was under severe stress, lying awake at night with my heart throbbing, in pain, sweating profusely, not knowing if I would see the sun rise the next morning. I knew that I will die again but I had to be sure that when my time comes that I do not go down the black hole to hell again. I was constantly praying, day and night. I was in an inner struggle for more than a year. I never spoke to anybody about it, never went to the doctor, never took tranquilizers. My business was with Jesus. I had to overcome. I had to resist the devil and overcome him. I had to overcome my flesh, my fears, my concern about myself. I had to fight a force bigger than me. I lost interest in the things that used to be important to me because I was busy with a bigger struggle. The pleasures of life lost their attraction.

After a year the Holy Spirit had burned the dross out of me. My focus was on Jesus and on pleasing Him. The pain in my chest that kept on coming back disappeared. I ignored the devil who had plagued me with doubt and anxiety, he could not intimidate me any more, I had won the battle against my own doubt in Jesus. I was interested in Jesus and His Kingdom. When Jesus shortly afterwards told me to sell all my possessions, quit my job and go where He sends me, it did not bother me. All the things that used to be important to me did not matter any more.

I thank Jesus for WAKING ME UP and treating me harshly or else I would still have been in ignorance on my way to hell. What I learned is that we must APREHEND Jesus, we must go after Him with all our power. We must die to SELF and live for Him. Jesus does not accept half measures. We either live for Jesus or for ourselves. The warning written in Revelation 3: 1 -3 speaks to every follower of Jesus:  “I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2‘Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. 3‘So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Therefore if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.” Jesus came on me like a thief and I was not ready. When Jesus calls again I want to be ready, waiting and faithfully working for His kingdom.

I pray that my testimony will wake others up who are also living in false security. Apprehend Jesus, go after Him, follow Him every day with all your power. Constantly seek Jesus in prayer, seek His approval, witness for His Kingdom. Live in utter holiness and obedience to Jesus. Read His words as written in the gospels Matthew, Mark Luke and John, obey those words and Jesus will reveal Himself to you. Always seek His confirmation that He is pleased with you. Do not seek the approval of people or trust any man. Remember, the moment you die, all that matters is whether Jesus is pleased with you.

Thank you for listening/reading

May Jesus bless you.

The snakes almost killed me – Testimony

Jesus has supernaturally kept me alive many times in my life. I hope this testimony will inspire others to trust in Jesus.

When we lived in South Africa I owned an aircraft and sometimes flew into dangerous, remote places. My aircraft, a 1957 vintage Piper Tri-pacer was very basically equipped, no navigational instrumentation which meant that all flying was done seat of the pants, using maps and compass in daylight. It was also prior to GPS.

A friend asked me to fly him from Johannesburg (South Africa) to Walvis Bay (Namibia). He was a native of Namibia who knew the desert country very well. It was a daring trip for my aircraft as we would fly over the desert for much of the trip of 1200 miles. We could not take short cut over Botswana as the larger aircraft do. We had to follow the national road to Upington and then cut over the desert to Keetmanshoop. From there it was straight over the desert to Walvis Bay which was an unmanned airport. This part of the trip would be without radio contact also.

We took off for Upington at dawn on a cold winters morning. We arrived at Keetmanshoop at midday and were delayed by Customs so we took off later than planned, hoping that we would make it to Walvis Bay before dark. Half way to Walvis bay we realized we would not make it. My friend suggested that we deviate from plan and land on a dirt road close to the farmhouse of people that he knew. We landed without event and fortunately the elderly wife of the farmer was home. We stayed over for the night but because of the detour we did not have enough Avgas left to reach Walvis Bay. We got some ordinary low octane car gasoline from the farmer's wife and mixed it with the Avgas that we had left, estimating that that would be enough to get us to Walfish Bay.

When I did the pre-flight inspection I discovered that the compass had moved and was not reading true any more. We had a navigation problem! Instead of flying straight to Walfish Bay we decided to fly due west until we reach the Atlantic Ocean and then follow the coast along the Skeleton Coast up to Walfish Bay. (It would be better to fly in a westerly direction and reach the Atlantic than guess our direction inland over the desert) We reached Walfish Bay the afternoon and landed safely on a deserted airport. We flew over town so my friend's family knew to come and pick us up at the airport. We had barely made it with very little gasoline left in the aircraft.

The next morning we would have to fly to Swakopmund some 25 miles north to get gasoline. We had gasoline worth 15 minutes of flying left in each of the two fuel tanks. It was just a 15 minute flight up the coast to Swakopmund. That night I called home and my wife told me she had a dream of two snakes that wanted to kill me. She had been praying for me. We both prayed Jesus' protection over me.

The west coast is renowned for the coastal fog that settles over the land every night. The fog was dense the next morning. We had to wait until midday for the fog to clear before we could fly out.

We took off and flew along the coast. As soon as we reached the Swakop River mouth we were suddenly in dense fog over the sea. Having flown without a compass (which was about 20 degrees out) we did not know which way the land was. Things immediately turned ugly. My friend, who was an ex-pilot suggested I climb out above the fog. As I lifted the aircraft it spluttered, the fuel tank was empty! I switched over to the other tank and lowered the aircraft flying just above the water. I estimated a direction, taking into account the known compass error, and I headed in that direction. My friend said we were going the wrong direction. I started thinking of swimming in the cold Atlantic, but I would not know in which direction I would have to swim if we came down and survived! I was praying, asking Jesus for help, remembering my wife's dream about the snakes that wanted to kill me. Then we saw flamingos flying in the same direction as we were heading, which indicated that we were heading in the right direction because flamingos always sit on land.

Next we dimly saw land through the fog! We were heading the right direction, BUT the very next thing the satellite dishes on a communications tower loomed right in front of us at 100 m.p.h! I froze, my friend, who had done acrobatic flying, when he used to fly, jerked back the stick and the aircraft shot right up in the air, just missing the tower! We had just escaped ditching in the Atlantic and then headed for a collision with the highest object for hundreds of miles along the Namibian coast!

I landed the aircraft and as we taxied to the parking space the engine spluttered, running out of gasoline. The snakes had tried to kill me a few times in succession but miraculously Jesus kept us alive! The people who met us at the airport saw the aircraft heading for the tower and thought it was going to strike it.

Jesus answers prayer, He is the God of wonders and miracles. He saves, He keeps, He warns and He protects those who trust in Him. There is no other Name in heaven or on earth that has power to save from any situation, even death. Jesus has a purpose with each of us. We must live His purpose. I thank Jesus that He kept me alive so many times so that I can be a witness for His Name and tell others what He has done in my life.

Thank you for listening/reading.

May Jesus bless you

The car fell on me - My Testimony

When we lived in Baltimore a few years ago, I did a oil change for somebody on their motor car.  In order to get to the oil filter, which is situated behind the engine, I had to jack this car up.  I put the motor car in park and I put the hand break on and then I jacked the car up.  What I did not see was that the asphalt was at a slight gradient, slight incline and as soon as I was underneath the car, this car started moving, and it fell off the jack onto me, it crushed down my ribs, I started screaming but because of the weight of the car on my chest, I could not get much sound out. Eventually my wife heard me inside (the apartment) and she came running out.  My wife didn’t know what to do, so she prayed, she said: "Lord help" and the next thing, a postal worker stopped there with his little van.  This man jumped out when he saw what was happening and he run to the car. He picked the car up, he was not a big guy, but he picked that car up and I managed to crawl out.  What was quite amazing is that the entire bottom of the car is closed in and there was only a small cavity right in front of my face.  That is where I put my hand through to get to the oil filter but when the car fell on me it fell in such a way that, that cavity was right over my face, otherwise it would have crushed my head.  It did bruise my chest a bit and I was sore for a few days but I just thank Jesus that He kept me alive.  It is so wonderful that when we call on the Lord, He answers our prayers.  He answered my wife’s prayers when she said: "Lord, help us please" and that man arrived there. He could not pick that car up, afterwards when he tried, but the Lord gave him power to lift it off me. I just want to share this testimony to let others know that Jesus is alive.  He is the God of miracles. If we call on Him then He answers our prayers and He keeps us alive, for His purpose.
May Jesus bless you.
