Revelations on Hell
--- 1st Testimony ---
“There
was a rich man that dressed in purple and fine linen, who enjoyed
luxurious living every day. In front of his gate a beggar
named Lazarus was placed, covered with sores, and hungering to be
fed crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs
came and licked his sores. The beggar died and was carried by the
angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was
buried, and while suffering tortures in hades, he looked up and from
a distance saw Abraham with Lazarus in his bosom. So he called
out, ‘Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus to dip his
fingertip in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this
fire.’
But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you enjoyed the good things in your lifetime while Lazarus had the bad things; now he is being comforted here but you are suffering anguish. Besides, there is a great chasm fixed between you and us, so that those who want to cross from here to you are unable; neither can they cross from your side to us.’” (Luke 16:19)
But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you enjoyed the good things in your lifetime while Lazarus had the bad things; now he is being comforted here but you are suffering anguish. Besides, there is a great chasm fixed between you and us, so that those who want to cross from here to you are unable; neither can they cross from your side to us.’” (Luke 16:19)
The Bible, the Word of God, is very clear about
the subject of heaven and hell. In the passage that we have
just read, the Lord tells us about two places: heaven and hell, the
place of condemnation and the place of salvation. There is no
intermediate place. Purgatory does not exist. Limbo does
not exist, where men stay for a while after they have departed from
earth, before they go to heaven. The Bible is very clear about this.
(April 11th 1995) God
gave us a revelation that would change the direction of our lives.
We had just begun to know about God and His Word. We are seven
youth to whom God has given the privilege and great responsibility
of sharing this revelation with the world.
Everything started at approximately 10:00 a.m.
We were praying and were prepared to go out on a picnic later that
day. Suddenly around 10 a.m., a very bright white light shone
through one of the windows. When the light appeared, we were
all immediately baptized with the Holy Spirit, and we began to speak
in tongues.
When it happened, we were all astonished and
fascinated by what we saw. The glorious light illuminated the
entire room. It was much brighter than the light of the sun.
In the middle of the light we saw a host of angels dressed in white.
The angels were very beautiful, tall, and very handsome.
In the middle of the angels we saw an amazing
sight—the figure of a Man. The image was of a Special Being, a
Man dressed in a pure white mantle and robe, whose hair resembled
gold threads. We could not see His face because of the
brilliance of the light; however, we could see a gold sash across
His chest with gold lettering that read, "King
of kings and Lord of lords." He had
pure gold sandals on His feet, and His beauty was without equal.
When we saw Him, we all fell to our knees.
Then we began to hear His voice. It was
extraordinary and wonderful; every word penetrated our hearts like a
double-edged sword, just as is written in the Word of God (Hebrews
4:12). He spoke to us in very
simple yet powerful words. We audibly heard Him say to us, "My
little children, don't be afraid. I am Jesus of Nazareth. I have
visited you to show you a mystery, so you can reveal it and tell it
to towns, nations, cities, churches, and every place. Where I
tell you to go, you will go, and where I tell you not to go, you
will not go."
The Holy Bible, the Word of God, says in
Joel 2:28, "It
shall come to pass after this that I will pour out My Spirit upon
all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men
shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions."
These are the times that God is preparing for all people.
Then something strange happened. A rock appeared
in the middle of the room. The Lord, who was with us, made us get on
the rock. It was about eight inches above the floor. Then a
large hole appeared in the floor. It was a huge, black,
terrifying hollow or cavern. We fell on the rock and began
descending through the hole in the floor. The hole was dark,
and led to the center of the earth.
While in the gloomy darkness, we were very
scared! We were so afraid that we said to the Lord, "Lord,
we don't want to go there! Don't take us to that place Lord!
Take us out of here Lord!" The Lord answered us in a very
beautiful and tender voice, "This
experience is necessary so you can see and tell others."
We were in a horn-shaped tunnel. We started to
see shadows, demons and figures moving about. We kept going
deeper and deeper. In just a matter of seconds, we felt
emptiness and great fear.
We then arrived at some caverns, at some terrible
doors, like a labyrinth. We didn't want to go inside.
There was a terrible odor and heat that choked us. Once we
entered, we saw terrible things, frightful images. The entire
place was engulfed in flames. In the middle of the flames were the
bodies of thousands of people. They were suffering in great
torment. The sight was so horrifying that we didn't want to
look.
The place was divided into different sections of
torment and suffering. One of the first sections that the Lord
allowed us to see was the "Valley of the Cauldrons," as we called
it. There were millions of cauldrons. They were inlaid
at ground level and each had boiling lava inside. Within each
one was the soul of a person who had died and gone to hell.
As soon as the souls saw the Lord, they started
to shout and scream, "Lord, have mercy on us! Lord give me
a chance to get out of here! Lord, take me out and I will tell
the world that this place is real!" But the Lord didn't
even look at them. There were millions of men, women and young
people there. We also saw homosexuals and drunkards in
torment. All of the people were shouting in very great
torment.
It shocked us to see how their bodies had been
destroyed. Worms were going in and out of their empty eye
sockets, mouths, and ears, and were penetrating their skin all over
their bodies. This fulfills the Word of God written in
Isaiah 66:24, "They
shall go forth; they shall gaze upon the dead bodies of those who
have rebelled against Me; for their worm shall not die, nor shall
their fire be quenched; they shall be an abhorrence to all mankind" and
also in
Mark 9:44, "Where
their worm never ceases and the fire is not put out."
We were horrified by what we were seeing. We saw flames about
9 to 12 feet high. Within each flame was the soul of a person
who had died and gone to hell.
The
Lord allowed us to see a man who was inside of one of the cauldrons.
He was upside down and pieces of flesh were falling off his face.
He stared at the Lord intently and then started to shout and call on
the name of Jesus. He pleaded, "Lord have mercy! Lord
give me a chance! Lord take me out of here!" But the
Lord Jesus wouldn't look at him. Jesus simply turned his back
to him. When Jesus did this, the man started to curse and
blaspheme the Lord. The man was John Lennon, the member of the
satanic music group called "The Beatles." John Lennon was a
man who mocked and made fun of the Lord during his lifetime.
He said that Christianity was going to disappear and Jesus Christ
would be forgotten by all. However, today this man is in hell
and Jesus Christ is alive!! Christianity hasn't disappeared
either.
As we started to walk on the edge of that place,
the souls extended their hands toward us and begged for mercy.
They asked Jesus to take them out of there, but the Lord wouldn’t
even look at them.
Then we started to go through other sections. We
came to the most terrible section of hell, where the worst torments
are experienced, the center of hell. There, the most intense
forms of suffering are endured; the torments are so severe that they
are beyond human expression. The only people there were those
who knew Jesus and the Word of God. There were pastors,
evangelists, missionaries, and all types of people that had once
accepted Jesus and known the truth, but had lived a double life.
There were also backsliders. Their suffering was
a thousand times worse than anyone else’s. They were shouting
and begging the Lord for mercy, but the Word of the Lord says in
Hebrews 10:26-27, "For
if we go on sinning willfully after acquiring the knowledge of the
truth, there is no longer left any sacrifice for sins, but some
dreadful anticipation of judgment and of a fierce fire that is to
devour those who oppose God."
Those souls were there because they preached,
fasted, sung and lifted their hands in church, but on the streets
and in their homes they lived in adultery, fornication, lying, and
robbery. We cannot lie to God. The Bible says that to
whom much has been given, much also will be required. (Luke
12:48)
God then allowed us to see two women who had been
Christian sisters while on earth, but who didn't live a righteous
life before the Lord. One said to the other, "You cursed
wretch! It's your fault that I am in this place! You
didn't preach to me a holy gospel! Because you didn't tell me
about the truth, I am now here in hell!" They would say
these things to each other in the midst of the flames. They hated
each other because there is no love, mercy or forgiveness in hell.
There were thousands of souls who had known the
Word of God, but whose lives weren't clean before the holy presence
of the Lord. "You cannot
play with God or the flames of hell!"
the Lord said. He also told us, "My
sons, all the suffering on earth concentrated in just one place is
nothing, NOTHING, compared with the suffering that a person
experiences in the best parts of hell."
If it is that terrible for those who suffer the least in hell, how
much worse must it be for those in the center of hell, who once knew
the Word of the Lord and walked away from it. Then the Lord
told us that we could play with the fire on earth, but never with
the fire in hell.
We continued walking through different sections
and the Lord showed us many other people. We noticed that all
the people there experienced approximately six different types of
torment. There were souls tormented by demons with all kinds
of punishment. Another terrible punishment came from their own
conscience, which said, "Remember when they preached to you;
remember when you heard the Word of God; remember when they told you
about hell and you laughed about it!" Their own
consciences tormented them, just like the worms that crawled all
over their bodies, and like the consuming fire that was thousands
and thousands of times hotter than we know. This is the reward
that the devil has for all those who seek him and follow him.
The Word of the Lord says in
Revelation 21:8, "As
for the cowardly, however, and the unbelieving, and the fearful, the
murderers, the immoral, those practicing magic arts, and idolaters,
and all liars – their lot is in the lake that burns with fire and
sulfur. This is the second death."
Next, the Lord showed us a man that had murdered
six people. The six people were now surrounding him, and were
shouting at him saying, "It is your fault that we are in this
place, YOUR FAULT!" The murderer tried to
cover his ears because he didn't want to listen
to them, but he could not avoid listening since in hell all your
senses are much more sensitive.
Souls there are tormented with an intolerable
thirst for water that cannot be satisfied in any way, like in the
Bible story of Lazarus and the rich man. (Luke
16:19) The rich man in hell wanted
only a single drop of water; that would have been enough. The
Word of the Lord says in Isaiah 34:9, "The
streams of Edom shall be turned into pitch and her soil into
brimstone; her land shall become burning pitch."
In that place, every soul was in the midst of the
flames. People saw mirages of crystal-clear rivers in the
middle of the fire, but when they tried to reach them, the rivers
turned into flames. They also saw trees with juicy fruit on
them, but when they tried to pick the fruit, they would burn their
hands, and demons would ridicule them.
Then
God took us to a section that was much worse than the other sections
that we had seen. We saw the lake of fire and brimstone.
On one side of the lake was a smaller lake. In the smaller
lake were millions and millions of souls crying and begging the Lord
for mercy. They said to Him, "Lord,
please! Take us out of here even for just a moment!
Please give me the chance to get out!!!"
However, the Lord could not do anything for them because their
judgment was already set.
Among those millions and millions of people, the
Lord allowed us to focus on a man whose body was half-way submerged
in the lake of fire. The Lord let us know and understand his
thoughts. His name was Mark. We were amazed by the
things he said to himself in his thoughts. We learned an
eternal lesson when we heard him think the following thoughts: "I
would give anything to be in your place right now! I would
give anything to go back to earth for just one minute. I
wouldn't care if I were the most miserable, sickest, most hated, or
the poorest man in the world; I would give anything to go back to
earth for just one minute." The Lord Jesus was holding my
hand. Jesus replied to Mark's thoughts saying, "Mark,
why would you like to go back to earth for even just a single
minute?" With a crying and
tormented voice, he told Jesus, "Lord! I would give
anything to go back to earth for just a single minute simply to
repent and be saved."
When the Lord heard what Mark said, I saw blood
come from Jesus' wounds. Tears filled His eyes as He said, "Mark,
it is too late for you! Worms are set for your bed and worms
will cover you." (Isaiah
14:11) When the Lord said this to him,
he sank into the lake forever. Sadly, all those souls have no
hope. Only we on earth have the chance to repent today and go
to heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.
I now leave you with my sister to continue this
testimony. Thank you.
--- 2nd Testimony ---
[Testimony by Lupe]
God bless you dear brothers. Let's
read the Word of the Lord from
Psalms 18:9, "He
bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under His feet."
When the Lord reached for my hand, I grabbed His hand, and we
started to descend down the tunnel. The tunnel grew darker and
darker to the point that I could not even see my hand that wasn't
holding onto the
Lord's hand.
Suddenly, we passed something that was dark and
sparkling and making a noise. The darkness was so dense you
could not even find the walls of the tunnel with your hand.
Our descent was so fast that I felt like my soul was separating from
my body.
Soon there was a very foul odor, like the smell
of rotten flesh. It was getting much worse by the second.
Then I heard the voices of millions and millions of souls. They were
endlessly shouting, crying out and moaning. I was so
frightened that I turned to the Lord and said, "Lord where are
you taking me? Lord have mercy on me! Please have mercy
on me!" The Lord only said, "It
is necessary that you see this, so you can tell everyone else."
We
continued going down through the horn-shaped tunnel until we arrived
at a place that was pitch-dark. As if a heavy curtain was
lifted from my eyes, I then saw millions and millions of flames.
Even worse, I heard agonizing screams but couldn't see anyone.
I was very scared. I said to the Lord, "Oh please Lord,
have mercy on me! Oh please Lord, have mercy on me! Don't take
me to this place! Forgive me!" At the time, I didn't
think that I was just a spectator in hell; I thought it was the day
of reckoning. Standing before the Lord Jesus, I shook
violently because I really thought my life was coming to an end.
We moved closer to a large flame that was ahead
of us. It was huge and burning intensely. I continued to
slowly descend as I watched multitudes of flames and heard millions
of souls crying with one voice.
Then
I saw a wooden table that was not being consumed by the fire.
It had what appeared to be beer bottles on it. They looked
refreshing, but they were full of fire. While I was looking, a
man suddenly appeared. His flesh was almost completely
destroyed and what was left of his clothes were muddy and burning.
He had lost his eyes, mouth and all of his hair in the fire.
He could see me, even though he had no eyes. I tell you, it is
a person’s soul that thinks, reasons and truly sees, not their
natural body.
The man extended his skinny hand toward the Lord
and started to cry out, saying, "Lord, have mercy on me!
Lord, have mercy on me! I am in pain! I am burning!
Please have mercy and take me out of here!" The Lord looked at
him with compassion, and I started to feel something warm in my
hand. I looked and found that it was blood...the blood of
Jesus! The Lord's blood came from His hand as He watched the
man suffering in the flames.
Then the man turned his gaze in the direction of
the table and walked toward the bottles. He grabbed a bottle,
and as he was about to drink from it, fire and smoke shot out of it.
He put his head back and screamed like I had never heard anyone
scream before. He cried with great pain and sorrow, and then
started to drink what was in the bottle. The bottle was full
of acid; it totally destroyed his throat. You could see the
acid passing through his stomach and hurting him.
The number 666 was engraved on the man’s
forehead. On his chest was a plate made of some unknown metal
that couldn't be destroyed, not even by the heat or the worms.
It had some letters written on it that we could not understand.
The Lord, in His great mercy, gave us the translation of what was
written: "I am here because I am a drunkard." He
begged the Lord for mercy, but the Word of God is very clear when it
tells us in
1 Corinthians 6:10, "Thieves,
greedy people, drunks, slanderers, and robbers will not inherit the
kingdom of God."
The Lord showed me the man's last moments on
earth as if I was watching a movie or film. Something like a
large television screen showed me his last seconds before his death.
The man's name was Luis and he was drinking in a bar. I saw
the same table and the same bottles in the bar. His friends
were around the table. (I can tell you this now, there is
only ONE TRUE FRIEND, and His name is JESUS CHRIST. He is the
Faithful Friend.) Luis was drinking and his friends were
already drunk. His best friend took a bottle, broke it and
started stabbing Luis. When he saw Luis lying on the floor he
ran away, and Luis bled to death on the floor. The saddest
thing was that he died without the Lord.
In the middle of all this, as all those souls in
hell were crying out, I asked the Lord, "Oh Lord, please tell me,
did this man know about you? Did he know about your salvation?"
The Lord sadly replied, "Yes
Lupe, he knew about Me. He accepted Me as his personal Savior,
but he did not serve Me." Then I
felt even more fear. Luis cried louder and shouted, "Lord
it hurts! It hurts! Please have mercy on me!"
He extended his hand again toward the Lord, but Jesus took my hand
instead and we walked away from the flames. The flames
consuming Luis became more intense, and he cried louder, "Have
mercy on me! Have mercy on me!!" He then disappeared
in the flames.
We continued walking. The place was huge and very
scary! We approached another flame and I said to the Lord, "Lord,
no! Please I don't want to see anymore of this! I beg You to
forgive me! Please forgive me! I don't want to see this!"
I closed my eyes, but it didn't matter; open or closed, I still saw
everything. The flame started to go down slowly and I began to
see a woman. She was covered with mud, and the mud was full of
worms. She had very little hair left, and she was caked with
worm-infested mud. She was being consumed by the worms all
over, and she shouted, "Lord, have mercy on me! Lord, have
mercy on me and forgive me! Look at me! It hurts!
Have mercy on me! Take away these worms! Take me out of
this torment, because it hurts so much!" The Lord simply
looked at her with great sorrow. As we held His hand, we could
feel the pain and sorrow in the Lord's heart for all the lost souls
burning eternally in the flames of hell.
The woman had no eyes or lips, but she could
still see and feel; her pain was just stronger. She had a
bottle in her hands that was full of acid, but she believed that it
was perfume. I could see that it was acid and that every time
she sprayed her body it burned her. Nevertheless, she still
kept applying the acid to her body over and over again. She
kept saying that it was an expensive perfume. She also
believed that she was wearing a beautiful necklace, but all I saw
were snakes wrapped around her neck. She believed that she was
wearing very expensive bracelets, but I saw that they were actually
worms, about a foot long, furiously digging into her bones.
She said that her jewelry was all she had, but I saw scorpions and
worms all over her body. She had a metal plate that everyone
wears in hell. It read, "I am here for robbery."
The woman had no remorse for her sin. The
Lord asked her, "Magdalena,
why are you here?" She answered,
"It didn't bother me to steal from others. The only thing I
cared about was having my jewelry and getting more expensive
perfumes. I didn't care who I robbed as long as I looked good."
I held onto Christ's hand as I watched the worms
burrow through her entire body. Magdalena turned around
looking for something. I asked the Lord again, "Lord, did
this person know about you?" And the Lord answered, "Yes,
this person knew me."
Magdalena started to look around, saying, "Lord
where is that woman who talked to me about You? Where is she?
I have been in hell for 15 years." All the people in hell
can remember everything. Magdalena kept asking, "Where is
the woman? I can't see her!" I knew her body could
not turn around because her flesh remained in the same position.
She tried to turn and look into other flames to find the woman who
talked to her about God. The Lord replied, "No!
No, Magdalena, she is not here. The woman that told you about
Me is with Me in the Kingdom of Heaven."
Upon hearing this, she threw herself down in the
flames, which burned her even more. Her metal plate condemned
her as a thief. I want you to read in the Word of the Lord in
Isaiah 3:24, "It
shall be, that instead of a sweet smell, there will be rottenness;
instead of a girdle, a rope; instead of well-set hair, baldness;
instead of a rich robe, a wrapping of sack-cloth; instead of beauty,
a branding mark."
As we continued walking with the Lord. I saw a
very large column filled with worms. Around it was a slide
made of red-hot metal. On the column was a brightly-lit
billboard that could be seen from everywhere. The billboard
read, "Welcome all liars and gossipers." At the end of
the slide was a small boiling lagoon. It looked like burning
brimstone. Then I saw a totally-naked person come down the
slide. As they slid, their skin peeled off and stuck to the
slide. When they fell into the burning lagoon, their tongue
expanded until it exploded and worms appeared in place of their
tongue. This began their torment. The Word of God says
in
Psalm 73:18-19, "Surely
you set them in slippery places; you cast them down to destruction.
How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! They are
utterly consumed with terrors."
After seeing this, we were taken back, out of
Hell. I just want to tell you that heaven and hell are even
more real than this physical world that we know. It is here
where you decide which direction you want to go: to spend eternity
with Jesus or to a burning hell. The Lord kept saying to us, "Without
holiness no man will see Me. Without holiness no man will see Me."
(Hebrews
12:14) That is why I tell you the same
thing now, "Without holiness you cannot see the Lord."
--- 3rd Testimony ---
[Testimony by Sandra]
Let's go to the Word of the Lord in
Matthew 10:28, "Do
not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul;
but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in
hell."
Whenever a soul arrives in hell, that person
acquires a body of death. The Lord Jesus took my hand and we
began to go down through a very deep, dark tunnel that led to the
center of the Earth. We arrived at a place with several doors.
One of them opened and we entered it with the Lord. I would
not let go of the Lord's hand, because I knew that if I did I would
stay in hell forever.
Upon
entering the door, I saw an enormous wall. There were
thousands of people hanging by their heads on hooks. Shackles bound
their hands to the wall. We also saw many thousands of people
standing in the midst of flames all around.
We went and stood in front of one of the flames,
and it started to go down slowly. Soon I could see a person
inside. When he spoke, I could tell it was a man. He was
wearing a priest's garments, which were totally filthy and shredded.
Worms were slithering in and out all over his body. He looked
charred and burnt by the fire. His eyes were gone and his
flesh was melting and falling to the ground. But after his
flesh had all fallen off, it grew back, and the whole process
started again.
When he saw Jesus he cried, "Lord, have mercy
on me! Have mercy on me! Please let me out of here for just a
moment! Just a minute!" On the man's chest was a
metal plate with the words, "I am here for robbery."
When Jesus came close, He asked the man, "What
is your name?" The man answered,
"Andrew; my name is Andrew, Lord." The Lord asked him,
"How long you have been
here?" Andrew answered, "I
have been here for a very long time." The man began to
tell his story. He said he had the responsibility of
collecting tithes and organizing the distribution of money to the
poor in his Catholic church. However, he would steal the money
instead. With eyes full of compassion, the Lord asked him, "Andrew,
have you ever heard the gospel?"
Andrew replied, "Yes Lord, there was a Christian woman who went
to the church and preached the gospel once, but I didn't want to
accept it. I didn't want to believe it then, but I believe it
now! Now I believe that this is real! Please Lord, take
me out of here, even for just one moment!"
As he was speaking, worms were crawling into his
eye sockets, exiting his ears, and entering again through his mouth.
He tried to pull them off with his hands but couldn’t. He was
shouting horribly and kept begging God for mercy. He kept
asking Jesus to take him out of there. Even worse, demons were
tormenting him by constantly stabbing him with their spears.
The demons looked just like one of the toy dolls that we have here
on earth called, "The Jordanos." I saw those dolls in hell,
but they were not dolls anymore; they were alive and demonic.
They were about 3 feet tall and had very sharp teeth. Blood
came out of their mouths and their eyes were completely red.
They were stabbing Andrew with all their might,
as well as all those who were in these parts of hell. When I
saw this, I asked the Lord how it was possible for a doll on earth
to look exactly like those demons. The Lord told me that they
were spirits of sadness.
As we continued, we saw thousands of people in
torment. Whenever a soul saw the Lord, they reached out toward
Him with their skinny hands. I noticed a woman that started to
shout when she saw Jesus. She screamed, "Lord, please have
mercy on me! Take me out of this place!" She was
suffering greatly, and extended her hands toward the Lord. She
kept begging Him to take her out of there even for just one second.
She was totally naked and covered with mud. Her hair was
filthy and worms were slithering up and down her body. She
tried to take them off with her hands, but every time she scraped
some away they would multiply. The worms were about 6-8 inches
long. The Word of the Lord says in
Mark 9:44, "Where
their worm never ceases and the fire is not put out"
It was horrifying to see this woman and hear her
cries as the worms voraciously ate her flesh. A metal plate
was embedded in her chest that could not be destroyed by the flames.
It read, "I am here for fornication." In the same
manner as her sin, in hell she was forced to fornicate with a very
disgusting fat snake. The snake had large thorns all over its
body that were about 6-8 inches in length. The snake
penetrated her private parts and traveled inside her body up to her
throat. When the snake entered her, she started to scream.
She began begging the Lord more intensely to take
her out of there, "Lord, I am here for fornication. I have been
here for 7 years, since the time I died of AIDS. I had six
lovers, and I am here for fornication." In hell, she had
to repeat her sin over and over again. She had no rest day or
night as she suffered the same way continuously. She tried to
extend her hands toward the Lord, but the Lord just told her, "Blanca,
it is too late for you. Worms shall be your bed, and worms
shall cover you." (Isaiah
14:11) When the Lord said those
words, a blanket of fire covered her, and I could no longer see her.
We
continued walking, seeing thousands and thousands of people.
There were young people, adults and elderly people suffering in
torment. We arrived at a place that looked like a big swimming
pool of fire with thousands of men and women inside. Each of
them had a metal plate on their chest that read, "I am here for
not giving tithes and offerings." When I read those words
I asked the Lord, "Lord, how could it be possible that people are
here for that reason?" The Lord replied, "Yes,
because they thought that giving tithes and offerings were not
important, when my Word shows it to be a command."
In
Malachi 3:8-9 it says, "Will
a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me. But you say, 'How
have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings. You are
cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of
you."
The Lord told me that when His people withhold
their tithes, the work of the Lord is hindered and the Gospel is not
preached. The people in that place suffered a thousand times
worse than the others, because they knew the Word of the Lord but
disobeyed it.
We continued walking and the Lord showed me a
man. I could only see him from his waist up. I then started to have
a vision of how he died. His name was Rogelio. He was
sitting in his car when a person came up to him and preached the
gospel to him and gave him a Bible. But Rogelio ignored the
person's warning and continued on his way, not knowing that a few
minutes later his car would have an accident. It fell into a
ravine, and he died shortly after.
The moment his car crashed, the Bible opened to
Revelation 21:8, "As
for the cowardly, however, and the unbelieving, and the depraved,
the murderers, the immoral, those practicing magic arts, and
idolaters, and all liars—their lot is in the lake that burns with
fire and sulfur. This is the second death."
When Rogelio read this verse, he died and arrived in hell.
He had only been there one month and still had
some flesh on his face. However, he was suffering like
everyone else. At first, he did not know why he was in hell.
I think that when that Christian approached his car, it was the only
and last chance for him to accept the Lord Jesus, the same way that
many have had the opportunity to accept Him. Today, I invite
you to open your heart to Jesus. He alone is the Way, the Truth, and
the Life. (John
14:6) Only through Him can we be saved
and enter the Kingdom of Heaven. (Acts
4:12) The Lord also asks us to follow
His ways in holiness and honor. God bless you.
--- 4th Testimony ---
God bless you brothers. When the Lord took
my hand, I saw that I was standing on a rock, and that an angel was
standing behind us. We began to go down through a tunnel at
incredible speed. I quickly turned around and saw that the
angel was gone. I felt so afraid. I asked the Lord, "Lord,
where is the angel? Why isn’t he still here?" The
Lord said, "He cannot go
where we are about to go."
We continued downward and then stopped abruptly,
as in an elevator. I saw several tunnels, and we went through
the one that my sister Sandra spoke about—the tunnel where people
were hanging on hooks by their heads, with shackles on their wrists.
The wall that the people were hanging on seemed to be infinitely
long. Millions of people were hanging on it. They had
worms all over their bodies. I looked up ahead and saw that
there was another wall, exactly like the other. I said to the
Lord, "Lord! There are so many people here!"
Immediately, a Scripture verse came to mind, one that I did not
recognize. The Lord told me, "Hell
and Sheol are always hungry." (Proverbs
27:20)
We
left there and soon arrived at a place we called, "The Valley of the
Cauldrons." The cauldrons were full of boiling mud. We got
close to one of them. The first person that I saw was a woman.
Her body floated and sank with the boiling mud, but when the Lord
looked at her, she stopped moving and remained suspended in the mud
with the mud up to her waist. The Lord asked, "Woman,
what is your name?" She
answered, "My name is Rubiella."
Her hair was full of boiling mud, and flesh hung
from her bones, which were charred black from the fire. Worms
entered through her eye sockets, came out through her mouth, entered
again through her nose, and exited her ears. When the worms
could not enter, they simply made a hole and entered other parts of
her body, which caused her indescribable pain.
She shouted, "Lord, please! Take me out
of here. Have mercy on me! I cannot continue like this
any longer! Make it stop Lord! I cannot stand it
anymore! Please have mercy on me!" The Lord asked
her why she was there. She said she was there because of
vanity, which was also the word written on the metal plate on her
chest. In her hand was a common-looking bottle, but to her it
appeared to be a very expensive perfume. Rubiella had to take
the bottle, which was full of acid, and spray it all over her body.
The acid caused the flesh that she sprayed to melt, causing her
great pain.
She shouted to the Lord, "Lord, please, have
mercy on me! I cannot stay here any longer! Just a single
second Lord!" I am not saying that it is a sin to use
perfume, but the Lord told us that the woman was there because of
her perfume, as the Word of the Lord tells us in
Deuteronomy 5:7, "You
shall not have other gods before me." She
was there because her beauty, perfumes, and vanity were first place
in her life. However, the Lord Jesus is King of kings and Lord
of lords! He must be first in your life; that is why she was
there. With sadness, the Lord looked at her and said, "Rubiella,
it is too late for you. Worms shall be your bed, and worms shall
cover you." When the Lord said
that, a blanket of fire covered her. As her body was being
consumed in the cauldron, she suffered horrible pain.
We then moved far away from there and arrived at
a place with giant doors. As we approached them, they opened
for us. On the other side we saw a giant cavern. As I
looked up I saw different color lights moving like a cloud of smoke.
Suddenly, we heard music—salsa, ballenato, rock, and different kinds
of popular music that people listen to on the radio. The Lord
motioned with His hand, and we saw millions and millions of people
hung with chains by their hands. They were jumping wildly over
the fire.
The Lord looked at us and said, "Look,
these are the wages of the dancers."
They had to jump wildly up and down to the beat of the music.
If salsa was playing, they had to jump to its beat; if any other
kind of music was playing, they had to jump to that its beat.
They could never stop jumping. But worse than that, their
shoes had 6-inch spikes on the bottom. When they jumped, the
spikes pierced their feet. They never had a moment's rest.
When someone tried to stop, demons immediately came up and stabbed
them with spears and cursed them saying, "Praise
him! This is your kingdom now! Praise Satan! Praise him!
You can't stop! Praise him! Praise him! You have to
praise him! You have to jump! You have to dance! You
cannot stop for one second!"
It is unfortunate that many of the people there
were Christians who knew the Lord, but were in nightclubs when they
died. You may be asking, "Where does it say in the Bible
that it is wrong to dance?" In James 4:4 the Word of God
says, "Do you not realize,
you adulteresses, that friendship with the world is enmity toward
God? Therefore, whoever determines to be a friend of the world
becomes God's enemy." Also, in
1 John 2:15-17 it says, "Neither
love the world nor the things in the world. Whoever loves the
world has not the Father's love in his heart, because everything in
the world, the passions of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and
the proud display of life have their origin not from the Father but
from the world. And the world with its lust passes away, but
he who does the will of God remains for ever."
Remember, the world will pass away; all this will perish, but the
one who does the will of God stands forever.
My friends and brothers, while leaving that
place, we saw what looked like bridges that divided hell into
different sections of torment. We saw a spirit walking over a
footbridge. It looked just like a doll that people have on
earth; people call them Treasure Trolls. They have different
color hair, with an old man's face but a child's body, and no sexual
parts. Their eyes are full of evil. The Lord explained
that they are spirits of loss. This spirit had a spear in his
hands and was walking pompously on the footbridge, like a queen or a
pretty runway model.
As he walked, he stabbed people down below with
his spear. He cursed them saying, "Remember
the day you were outside a Christian church and you did not want to
go in? Remember the day they preached to you and you did not
want to listen? Remember the day they gave you a gospel tract
and you threw it away?" The lost
souls tried to cover the areas where their ears used to be.
They replied to the demon, "Shut up! Shut up! Don't
tell me anymore! I don't want to know more! Shut up!"
However, the evil spirit enjoyed it because of the pain it caused
them.
We
continued walking with the Lord. While looking at a large
group of people, we noticed that one man was shouting louder than
any of the others who were burning there. He was crying, "Father,
Father, have mercy on me!" The Lord was not going to stop
to look at him, but when He heard "Father" He trembled and
turned around. Jesus looked at him and said, "Father?
You call Me Father? No, I am not your Father and neither are you My
son. If you were My son, you would
now be with Me in the Kingdom of Heaven.
You are sons of your father the devil."
Immediately, a blanket of fire came up and completely covered the
man’s body.
The Lord told us the story of the man's life.
The man called Him “Father” because he had once known Him. He
used to go to church and listen to God through His Word, and he had
received many promises from God. So we asked, "What
happened Lord? So, why is he here?" The Lord
replied, "He was living
a double life; he lived one way at home, and another at church.
He thought in his heart, 'Well, there is no one that lives close to
me, not the pastor or any other brother, so I can do whatever I
want.' But he forgot that the eyes of the Lord are set on all
our ways, and that no one can lie or hide from the Lord."
The Word of the Lord tells us, "Don't
lie to yourselves; God cannot be deceived. Because everything
a man sows, the same he will harvest."
(Galatians
6:7) This man was suffering a thousand
times worse than the others. He was receiving a double
condemnation—one for his sins, and one for thinking he could deceive
the Lord.
Today, people try to rank sins by their gravity;
they think that homosexuals, thieves, and murderers are greater
sinners than liars or gossips. But in the Lord’s eyes, all
these sins have the same weight and the same pay. The Bible
tells us, "The wages of sin
is death." "The soul that sins will die."
(Romans
6:23) (Ezekiel
18:20) My friends and brothers,
I invite you now to accept Jesus' invitation. Jesus will
extend His hand of mercy to you if you repent. The Word of the
Lord tells us that mercy will be given to whoever changes his ways
and repents. It is much better to believe now than to wait and
find out the hard way later. God bless you.
--- 5th Testimony ---
The Word of God tells us in
Romans 6:23, "For
the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord."
When we went down there, I felt the anguish and
experience of being dead. I was very frightened by what I saw.
I realized that there were many, many people there, all shouting and
crying out. It was pitch-dark, but with the presence of the
Lord, the darkness disappeared. We saw thousands and thousands
of souls, all crying out for help and mercy. They cried out to
the Lord to take them out of there. We also felt great pain
because we knew that the Lord suffered greatly when He saw them.
Many cried out to the Lord to take them out for
just a minute, for just a second. The Lord would ask them, "Why
do you want to get out?", and they
would answer, "Because I want to be saved! I want to repent
and be saved!" However, it was too late for them.
Dear people who are listening to me now, now is
the only opportunity to choose our eternal destination. You
can either choose an eternal place of salvation, or an eternal place
of condemnation.
We went farther down. I saw that the ground
we were walking on was being destroyed by fire; mud and flames were
coming out of it. There was also a terrible stench everywhere.
We were very upset and nauseous from the odor and the cries of all
the people.
We
saw a man in the distance who was waist deep in burning mud.
Whenever he took out his arms, the flesh on his bones would fall off
into the mud. We could see a grey mist inside his skeleton, so
we asked the Lord about it. The mist was in every person in
hell. The Lord told us it was their souls trapped inside their
bodies of sin, as is written in
Revelation 14:11, "And
the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no
rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and
whoever receives the mark of his name."
We began to understand many things that we had
ignored while on earth. The most important and clearest message was
that our lives on earth determine where we will spend eternity.
As we walked hand-in-hand with the Lord, we
realized that hell had many different parts with various levels of
torment. We came to a place with many cells that contained
tormented souls. The souls were being tormented by many
different types of demons. The demons would curse them,
saying, "You cursed wretch,
praise Satan! Serve him like you did while you were on earth!"
The souls suffered terribly from worms, and fire was like an acid
that covered their bodies.
We saw two men inside one of the prison cells.
Each of them had daggers in their hands and were stabbing the other.
They were saying to each other, "You cursed wretch! It's
because of you that I'm here! You made me come here because
you blinded me to the truth and didn't let me recognize the Lord!
You didn't let me receive Him! Many times I had the chance and
you didn't let me accept Him! That is why I'm here, tormented
day and night!"
Through a vision, the Lord showed us their lives
on earth. We saw them in a bar together. An argument
started that led to a fight. They were already drunk.
One of them took a broken bottle and the other pulled out a knife.
They fought until each of them was mortally wounded and died.
The two men were doomed to repeat that scenario forever. They
were also tormented by the memory that they had been best friends on
earth, like brothers in their love for each other.
I want to tell you today, there is just one real
friend, and His name is Jesus of Nazareth. He is the real
friend. He is the Faithful Friend who is with you every
moment.
As we continued walking, we saw a woman inside
another cell. She was rolling around in the mud. Her hair was
messed up and full of mud. Inside the same cell was a large,
fat snake. It moved close to her, surrounded her body, and
went inside of her starting at her lower parts. She was forced
to have sexual contact with the snake. In that place, all the
men and women who lived in fornication were forced to repeat it
there. However, they had to do it with snakes covered with
6-inch spikes. The snake destroyed her body every time it went
inside her. She cried out to the Lord and asked Him to stop
it. She did not want to suffer anymore. "Make it stop!
I won't do it again! Please! Make it stop!" she
begged the Lord, as the snake went inside and destroyed her body
over and over again.
We tried to cover our ears to her cries but we
could still hear her. We then tried even harder to cover our
ears, but it didn't help. We said to the Lord, "Please
Lord, we don't want to see and hear this anymore! Please!"
The Lord said, "It is
necessary that you see this, so you can tell the others, because My
people are being destroyed; My people are ignoring the true
salvation, the true road to salvation."
We continued walking and saw a giant lake with
thousands and thousands of people in the midst of flames. They
waved their hands asking for help, but there were many demons flying
over that place. The demons used spears with S-curved
spearheads to hurt the people burning in the lake. The demons
mocked and cursed them saying, "You
cursed wretch! Now you must worship Satan! Praise him!
Praise him as you did while you were on earth!"
There were thousands and thousands of people. We were so
frightened; we felt that if we did not hold onto the Lord's hand we
would be left in that horrifying place. We were terrified by
the things we were feeling.
In the distance we saw a man who was standing up
and in very great pain and agony. Two demons were flying over
him tormenting him. They would dig their spears into his body
and take out his ribs. They also continually ridiculed him.
Even further, the Lord showed me that he was tormented by constantly
worrying about the family he had left behind on earth. The man
didn't want his family to arrive in that same place of torment.
He was worried because he never gave them the message of salvation.
He was tormented because he remembered that they once had a chance
to receive the message. He had a responsibility to give the
message to his family, but he chose to ignore it, and now he was
worried about his sons and his wife.
The torment continued as the demons cut off his
arms, and he fell into the burning mud. Because of the pain
from the burning mud, he squirmed around like a worm. His
flesh fell from his bones because of the heat. He then started
to slither like a snake to try to get out of there. But every
time he tried to get out, the demons pushed him back and he went
deeper into the mud.
We then saw a number of demons in one place.
Something caught my attention; I noticed that one of the demons was
missing a wing. I asked the Lord, "Lord, why is that demon
missing one wing?" The Lord replied, "That
demon was sent up to earth for one purpose. But he did not
accomplish his mission, and was cast back to hell by one of the
servants of God. Then Satan came and punished him, and cut off
one of his wings." Then we
understood that as Christians we have all authority and power in the
name of Jesus to cast out all demons and principalities.
Dear friends who are listening to these words
right now, this testimony is not for condemnation, but salvation, so
you can test yourself and see the condition of your heart before the
Lord. This is so that you can change your ways, for salvation
and not for condemnation. Right now, lift your heart before
the Lord and confess your sins, so that if the Lord came at this
moment you could go with Him, instead of go to that place of torment
where there is crying and gnashing of teeth. There you will
clearly understand why Jesus paid such a high price on Calvary's
Cross.
We saw many people in hell who didn’t know why
they were there. Their lives were full of activities that they
didn't think were sinful. Dear friend, test yourself! Do
not think that lying, stealing, and being conceded are okay things
to do! These are all sins before the eyes of the Lord!
Dear brothers, turn away and stop doing these things! I'm
giving you this message so you can stop willfully sinning, and look
even more to the face of the Lord.
--- 6th Testimony ---
Psalms 62:12, "And
to Thee, O Lord, belongs covenant love, for Thou rewardest every man
according to his work."
The morning that the Lord visited us in that
room, He took us by the hand and we started to go down. My
heart was completely full of fear; I can't even describe it. I
only knew that I could not let go of my Savior’s hand—I felt that
Jesus was my Life and my Light, and all my hope was in Him—otherwise
I would be left behind in that place. I never thought that I
would ever go there. I didn't even believe that such a place
existed. Even as a Christian, I had always thought that
purgatory was hell. But God showed me the truth about hell.
When we arrived in hell, I felt the place shake.
All the demons there ran to hide, because not one of them could
endure the presence of the Lord. We heard the captive souls
begin to shout even louder because they knew that Jesus of Nazareth
was there. They all knew that there was just one Person that
could possibly get them out of there. They had that hope, even
though it was a false hope.
We walked hand-in-hand with Jesus, and arrived at
the section of fornication. Jesus turned to look at a woman
who was totally covered with fire. When Jesus saw her, she
started to come out slowly from the fire, although her sufferings
never stopped. We could see she was totally naked, and
saw all of her physical characteristics. Her body was filthy,
and she stunk. Her hair was messed up, and she was covered
with a yellowish green mud. She had no eyes and her lips were
falling apart. She had no ears, just the holes. With her
hands, which were bones charred black, she took the flesh that was
falling from her face and tried to put it back on. But this
caused her even more pain.
She then shuddered and shouted even more; her
cries never ended. She was full of worms, and there was a
snake wrapped around her arm. It was very thick and had thorns
around its body. She had the number 666 engraved on her body,
the
number of the Beast mentioned in
the book of Revelation. (Revelation 13:16-18) She also had a
plate embedded in her chest that was made of an unknown metal; it
wasn’t consumed by the fire. On the plate was something
written in a strange language. However, we could understand what was
written on it. It read, "I am here because of fornication."
When Jesus saw her, He asked her, "Elena,
why are you here?" While Elena
was answering the Lord her body squirmed due to the pain of her
suffering. She said that she was there because of fornication.
She asked the Lord for forgiveness over and over again.
Then we started to see how she died. When
she died, she was having sex with one of her lovers, because she
thought that the person she was living with was away on a trip.
However, he came back from his job and found her in bed with someone
else. He then went to the kitchen, took a long knife and stuck
it in Elena's back. She died and was taken to hell exactly the
way she died, totally naked.
In hell, everything materialized; she still had
the long knife in her back, which caused her great pain. By
this time, she had already been in hell for 7 years, and she could
remember every moment of her life and death. She also
remembered when someone tried to preach to her about Jesus, that He
was the only One who could save her. But now it was too late
for her and for everyone else in hell.
The Word of the Lord talks a lot about
fornication, and it is very clear. Fornication is having
sexual relations outside of marriage.
1 Corinthians 6:13 says, "Food
for the stomach and the stomach for food, but God will destroy both
of them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the
Lord; and the Lord for the body."
Also, in
1 Corinthians 6:18 it says, "Flee
from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside
the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body."
When Jesus finished talking with her, she was
covered by a large blanket of fire, and we could no longer see her.
But we could hear the sound of her flesh burning and her horrifying
screams. I can't even describe them in words.
As we continued to walk with the Lord, He showed
us all the people there: the idol worshipers, those who used and
practiced witchcraft, the immoral, adulterers, liars, and
homosexuals. We were very frightened; the only thing we wanted
to do was leave. But Jesus kept saying that it was necessary
for us to see, so we could tell others so they might believe.
We continued with Jesus, holding His hand even
tighter. We came to a section that really made an impression
on me. We saw a young man, 23 years old, suspended waist-high
in the middle of a fire. We couldn't see exactly what his
torment was, but the number 666 was engraved on him. He also
had a metal plate on his chest that read, "I am here for being
normal." When he saw Jesus, he extended his hand toward
Jesus begging for mercy. The Word of God says in
Proverbs 14:12, "There
is a way that seems right to a person, but its end is the way of
death."
When we read the plate that said, "I am here
for being normal," we asked the Lord, "Lord, why!? Is
it possible for a person to come to this place for that reason?"
Then Jesus asked him, "Andrew,
why are you here in this place?"
He answered, "Jesus, when I was on earth, I thought that just
killing and stealing were sins. That is why I never tried to get
close to You." In
Psalms 9:17 it says, "The
wicked shall be turned into hell, all the heathen that forget God."
Andrew made a big mistake by classifying sins,
like many people do today. The Bible is very clear when it
says that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal
life. (Romans
6:23) Furthermore, when the
Bible talks about sin, it never classifies sins; they are all just
sins. Andrew had the chance to know and accept Jesus, but he
didn't take the opportunity that God had given to him. Maybe
he had a thousand opportunities to know the Lord, but he never
wanted to know Him, and that is the reason he is there. Then a
large blanket of fire covered his body and we never saw him again.
We
continued walking with Jesus. In the distance we saw something
falling, like chunks of something. When we got closer, we
realized that they were people who were falling into hell at that
moment—people that had just died on earth without having accepted
Jesus Christ in their hearts; they were just arriving in hell.
We saw a young man. Many demons ran toward him
and began to destroy his body. Immediately, his body began to
be filled with worms. He shouted, "No! What is this?
Stop! I don't want to be here! Stop it! This must
be a dream! Take me out of here!" He didn't even
know that he was dead, and that he had died without Jesus in his
heart. The demons were ridiculing him and torturing his body.
Then the number 666 appeared on his forehead, and a metal plate
appeared on his chest. Even though we couldn't see the reason
that he was in hell, we knew for certain that he would never get
out.
The Lord told us that the torments of all these
people in hell would be even greater on the Day of Judgment.
If they are suffering in such a terrible and horrifying way now, I
can't imagine how they will suffer after the Day of the Judgment.
We didn't see any children there. We only
saw thousands and thousands of young people, men, and women of many
nationalities. Nevertheless, in hell there are no
nationalities or social classes; all are there to be tormented and
punished. There was one thing that they all wanted, and that
was a chance to get out, for just a second. They also wanted to have
one drop of water to refresh their tongues, as in the story of the
rich man in the Bible. (Luke
16:19) But this was no longer
possible. They chose where they wanted to spend eternity. They
decided to spend it without God. God never sends anyone to
hell; everyone is there because of their own deeds. In
Galatians 6:7 it says, "Make
no mistake, God will not be mocked. What a person sows, he
will reap."
Today you have a great opportunity to change your
eternal destiny. Jesus is still available today, and the Bible
says that while we have life we also have hope. Today you have
life. Don't miss this opportunity; it might be your last one.
God bless you.
A Biography of Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke
Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke is principally known for his Great
Gospel Crusades throughout the Continent of Africa. The son of a pastor,
Reinhard gave his life to the Lord at age nine, and heard the call to
the African mission field before he was even a teenager. After attending
Bible College in Wales, and his ordination in Germany he pastored a
church and then went on to start missionary work in Africa. It was
there, in the small mountain kingdom of Lesotho, that God placed upon
his heart the vision of 'the continent of Africa, being washed in the
precious Blood of Jesus' — an entire continent, from Cape Town to Cairo
and from Dakar to Djibouti that needed to be reached and to hear the
proclamation of the signs-following Gospel.
He began holding meetings in a tent that accommodated just 800 people, but, as attendance steadily increased, larger and larger tents had to be purchased, until finally, in 1984, he commissioned the construction of the world's largest mobile structure — a tent capable of seating 34,000 people! Soon, attendance at his meetings even exceeded the capacity of this huge structure, and he began open-air Gospel Campaigns with an initial gathering of over 150,000 people per service! Since then, he has conducted city-wide meetings across the continent with as many as 1,600,000 people attending a single meeting using towering sound systems that can be heard for miles.
It has now been some thirty-five years since Reinhard Bonnke founded the international ministry of Christ for all Nations (CfaN), which currently has offices in the United States, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, Nigeria, South Africa, Singapore, Australia, and Hong Kong.
Since the start of the new millennium, through a host of major events in Africa and other parts of the world, the ministry has recorded 55 million documented decisions for Jesus Christ.
As part of the discipleship-training program, 185 million copies of CfaN follow-up literature have been published in 103 languages and printed in 55 countries. Millions of books have been printed and freely 'seeded' in nations around the world. All this is in addition to the 'Reinhard Bonnke School of Fire,' an online, self-study course, aimed at inspiring others to Holy Spirit Evangelism and leading to either a certificate or university credits.
Reinhard Bonnke is also recognized for hosting 'Fire Conferences' in many different countries of the world, events that are aimed at equipping church leaders and workers for evangelism; for distributing over 95,500,000 copies of Minus to Plus, a profound salvation message, to homes around the world;
and for seeking every opportunity to reach and to save the lost.
More recently, Bonnke has spent several years developing the 'Full Flame Film Series,' a series of eight inspirational films aimed at inspiring and challenging the church to Holy Spirit evangelism.
He is known as one with a burning passion for the Gospel, a vision for Africa and a message for the world.
Evangelist Bonnke is married to Anni, father to Kai-Uwe, Gabrielle, and Susie, and grandfather to eight grandchildren.
He began holding meetings in a tent that accommodated just 800 people, but, as attendance steadily increased, larger and larger tents had to be purchased, until finally, in 1984, he commissioned the construction of the world's largest mobile structure — a tent capable of seating 34,000 people!

Reinhard Bonnke is also recognized for hosting 'Fire Conferences' in many different countries of the world, events that are aimed at equipping church leaders and workers for evangelism; for distributing over 95,500,000 copies of Minus to Plus, a profound salvation message, to homes around the world;
and for seeking every opportunity to reach and to save the lost.
More recently, Bonnke has spent several years developing the 'Full Flame Film Series,' a series of eight inspirational films aimed at inspiring and challenging the church to Holy Spirit evangelism.
He is known as one with a burning passion for the Gospel, a vision for Africa and a message for the world.
Evangelist Bonnke is married to Anni, father to Kai-Uwe, Gabrielle, and Susie, and grandfather to eight grandchildren.
