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)
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. 
John LennonThe 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.
Fruit Tree of fireThen 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.
HellWe 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. 
Table with bottlesThen 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.
People hung up on wallsUpon 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.
Lake of FireWe 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)
Cauldron of fireWe 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.
BurningWe 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. 
Soul trapped in burning mudWe 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.
Falling into HellWe 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.
 
 

Are The Miracle Claims Of Reinhard Bonnke Really True?

 
REINHARD BONNKE
Reinhard Bonnke makes many incredible miracle claims but is his claims really true? So called miracle claims are two a penny today, and in fact many of the various cults, witch doctors, psychic surgeons, and New Age healers also make the same kind of miracle claims as Reinhard Bonnke, even an advert in a newspaper promoting a “miracle pen” had with it a number of 'documented' healings.
Anyhow back to Bonnke as he is different, he claims Biblical style miracles at his crusades, saying: "When I step on a platform, often without any touch of mine the blind begin to see, the deaf to hear, the dumb to speak and the cripples to walk…" and "Miracles happened as if copied from the gospels and the book of Acts". The crusade chairman in Onitsha, Nigeria boosts "We know that when Reinhard Bonnke comes to preach, we will see the....healing power of God in action". At Bonnke's crusades he reports "Each [person at the crusade] was expecting the miracle that would transform their lives; they looked desperate enough to pursue it - to grab it by force if necessary....the healing power of God flowed each day as countless numbers reported evidence of the miraculous". However when pressed for proof of this 'healing power of God' and the 'biblical style miracles', there is DEAD SILENCE and no help from his ministry, in fact they refuse to listen to those who question these claims. Do Bonnke’s miracles line up with the biblical record? do they match up with the gospels and the book of Acts? NO NOT ONE BIT! And the claim that people can take miracles by force? Unheard of in Scripture!
Jesus Christ never ever went around making the incredible miracle claims that Bonnke makes. Jesus Christ shunned acclaim and let his miracles speak for themselves; proving that He was who he said he was the Messiah, the Almighty God, the Saviour of the World and that His message was from God. When Jesus Christ healed it had a purpose, healing was instant and the healings were abundant and some did not even require the physical presence of Jesus. Jesus Christ was able to heal at anyplace, anytime, anywhere, whether their was faith or not, and his healings were undeniable even to his critics and never was there any appeal for money. Jesus Christ could heal all manner of sickness and diseases using different methods with the results irreversible, never turning anyone away at his unarranged meetings. To sum up Jesus Christ healings, Richard Mayhue in his book ‘The Healing Promise” writes that the miracles of Jesus Christ were “undeniable, successful, spectacular, without any recovery period. permanent, overwhelming, abundant, awesome, instant, [and] authoritative, without limitations, total, and convincing all without any major medical attention that could possibly have taken credit for healing in any way. “
Bonnke is the opposite of Jesus Christ a showman often boasting of HIS power, promoting himself and marketing his ‘miracles’ to collect money. Bonnke mesmerises and charms people with his healings only take place at certain times under certain conditions at prearranged meetings using the same techniques with the healings coming for no real apparent reason or purpose. The healings he claims are spurious, and deniable, and his critics have proven without a doubt that he is a fraud, a trickster even claiming healings that are not healings at all. To sum up Bonnke’s miracles we would say they are “spurious, bogus, deniable, unspectacular, sparse, unconvincing, limited, pathetic and laughable”. In fact many of the practices that Bonnke uses in his crusades are not found taught in the Bible or practiced by Jesus Christ or his disciples. These practices can be found in the occult and New Age Movement.and are forbidden by Scripture.
Bonnke boasts that "Locals brought sacks full of witchcraft items to the crusade grounds for burning each night" and John Darku commented "This is the greatest number of witchcraft items we have ever seen. People surrendered their idols by the sack full....we started burning the witchcraft items from the second night of the conference, when Reinhard preached on the Blood of Jesus and took authority over the powers of the enemy. The strongholds in the city were demolished and the people released".
Sadly many of these people are freed from one bondage and caught into another when it was also reported; "Looking at the crowds, it was if fire from heaven had fallen on top of each head and burning hot coals had suddenly been rolled onto the tip of each tongue. The fire seemed intense - almost execruciating - judging by the painful expressions on many faces. The fire caused many people to shake their heads uncontrollably, while speaking non-stop in other tongues". These kind of manfestions are never once found in the minstry of Jesus Christ or the Apostles and are unbiblical in their nature and more at home in the world of the occult.
Why then do so many people follow after the likes of Bonnke? Why such crowds? CFAN say "Miracles? Well, signs and wonders "Anthony Thomas, who wrote and directed the recent TV documentary `Miracles`, believes Bonnke is popular in Africa because he taps into the continents old religious and superstitions. "Bonnke is the `voodoo priest`, casting spells on his enemies and summoning up good and evil spirits as he dances to the beat of the drum," said Thomas'. However again another instance in which Bonnke is out of tune with the Bible as Jesus Christ commanded his servants not to curse their enemies but to "love their enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you".
Jesus Christ warned his believers to TAKE HEED and BEWARE because in the latter times many false prophets, WOLFS IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING doing 'signs and wonders' in His name, claiming to be 'anointed' would arise and deceive MANY. Paul wrote in his epistles "Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no futher for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was."Who were Jannes and Jambres? Two atheists? No magicians in Pharaohs court who could up to a point duplicate the miracles of God with their tricks. The clear answer is that what we see with Bonnke is the same thing only he does it in the name of Jesus.
Bonnke claims to preach the "full gospel", however there is no "full gospel" or "half gospel" only the true gospel which Paul preached..."I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you....wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved....how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures" [1 Cor 15:1-4]. The 'full gospel' that Bonnke preaches is a gospel full of errors, devoid of any real preaching on "sin, righteousness and judgement to come", but filled with fables that are hard to believe and which he most surely has made up? Even what little truth he may present is lost in a sea of error. "Raise your hands and wave to me if you want to receive Jesus Christ," proclaims Bonnke at his crusades. One wonders what Jesus, as those at the crusades hang on Bonnke's every word mesmerised and charmed by the figure on the platform? The truth is this, Bonnke has "another gospel" which is not another and he comes under the curse of Paul in Gal 1:6-10. What do we make then of Bonnke? A false Christ? Yes the edivence proves his healings are false and so is his mesage, a false Christ who is to be rejected and denounced.
The sad truth is that the church has long wearied of sound biblical teaching as the Apostle Paul foretold, turning their ears away from the truth and heaping to themselves teachers like Bonnke who will tell what they want to hear rather that what they need to hear. The only solution is for the church to reject and root out these false teachers like Bonnke whose folly has been manifested, and return the flock back to the truth of God’s word and the true gospel of Christ and Him crucified.
May God Help us!
