THE MYSTERIES REVEALED TO
ME IN HEAVEN
CHAPTER ONE MY BACKGROUND
I hope this testimony will impact your
life. I went through difficult times in my walk with the Lord. I
spent more than two years on unemployment and hardship.
One day I said, “Lord, I know it's You
allowing these hard times so that You can sort out things in my life.
But I'm sure at the end of all this, there is a gate open for me. I
put my trust in You.”
Actually, I took that opportunity in
order to seek the face of the Lord in all my heart and prayer in
order to enter the purpose of God and the promised land ahead.
The whole thing began an evening in a
church where we were invited.
The speaker said, “I was in the
ministry for some time and I knew the truth but in my heart, I wanted
to see the Lord. I wanted to see His wonders in my eyes. I knew that
the Lord was tremendous. Thus there was a yearning in me to see His
hand, His power, and His wonders. I wanted something new in my
experience and walk with Him.”
This pastor began to tell his testimony.
He said, “One day in Brazil in black
stream region, I saw a car moving in the road in a speed of 60 to 80
kilometers per hour. The car was moving at a great speed. Suddenly, I
saw a child crossing the road right in front of the vehicle. When I
saw this scene, I shouted for God's mercy. But the driver was not
able in that speed to stop that car. In the twinkling of an eye, I
heard the noise of the child beneath the car. He was underneath the
car, but he survived. He was crying, but he survived.”
“After that accident at night, before
sleeping, I prayed as usual. I said, “Lord, I need to see a wonder
before my eyes, more than all my past experiences. I want to see Your
wonders before my eyes. I want to have a new experience with You.”
“That night when I fell asleep, in the morning I began to see the scene of the accident repeating itself
exactly the way it happened in the day at the exact place of the
avenue and it was the very vehicle I saw when the child was passing
in front of the car.”
“However, I saw one thing that I did
not see in the day during the accident. At that moment when the
accident happened, I saw a brightening angel of God lifting the car
and the child passing under the car and surviving the accident.”
“Before rising from that dream, the
brightening angel of the Lord told me, “Is this not a wonder before
your eyes?”
“It was then that I came to realize
that the survival of this child in that accident was in itself a
wonder before my eyes but I failed to see it. God is always doing
wonders before us, but we fail to see them.”
When I heard this testimony, I began to
seek experience with the Lord. I wanted continuous experience with
the Lord. Then one experience happened to me that marked my whole
life. In truth, the Lord is always doing wonders throughout our life.
God is doing wonders in your personal life and in your family more
than you think. I started praying to God because of the desire to see
Him was born in me. I needed a wonder before my eyes. I was willing
to pay the price of that experience.
I started praying and I would pray in
the morning prayer. When the morning prayer ended, I would continue
to pray. I would go home, take a shower and come back to the church to
pray.
Then one day, the shepherd came to me
and said, “I feel like establishing you as the third young leader
of the church.”
I said, “Pastor, I'm ready to do God's
work.”
But this happened after months of
looking for God's presence and signs. Yet although I was praying,
there was silence from Heaven. There was nothing happening. Heaven seemed to shut down like brass. And moreover, my brothers and
daughter of my stepmother were unemployed like me, until one day we
went to look for a job. We got that job, and we did that job for one
month. We got the money and then we were told that the work was
finished. We bought provisions.
One day I went to church. When I
arrived, the service had already started. I sat on the last seat.
The pastor was preaching.
Suddenly he said, “Thus said the Lord,
you there in the striped shirt. You sat there in the background
because you were ashamed of your torn shirt on the shoulder. You sat
there in the background because of shame. God says, “You are just
passing the cloud of darkness, but it is already coming off you and
God says He will give you a new experience and tremendous encounter.
God will come with providence in your life. Therefore from today you
must glorify God despite your hardship.”
I was very pleased to hear this. A few
days later, God told me through the pastor, “You're going to preach
in the church today.”
But I was in distress and my heart was
disturbed because of prolonged unemployment and hardship. I refused
to preach. In my heart, I was crying in anguish.
And then suddenly I heard a beautiful
voice. It was a tremendous voice that said, “Look ahead.”
I thought someone was talking to me.
When I raised my head in the middle of
the congregation among the sisters, I saw a beautiful river running
over. On that day, I preached and I asked people to make the decision to
come to Christ. A very young girl came. When I prayed for her, she
began to speak an unknown language. Many were filled with the Holy
Spirit.
CHAPTER TWO JOURNEY TO
THE CELESTIAL WORLD
And when we were coming back home, it
was deep dark, only the lights of houses were lighting up the road.
My little sister was speaking in unknown
languages. We were singing and praising the Lord God on the way. As
we were moving, we saw a flash of light behind us. We all
noticed that the light was accompanying us as we were moving. When we
arrived home, I looked back and I saw the flash of light
disappearing.
Then suddenly I saw a golden trumpet and
a pillar of fire that was illuminating. This was happening while we
were speaking strange languages. I wanted to ask my sister if she was
seeing what I was seeing but she kept talking in an unknown language.
Then I said to her brother called
Israel, “Are you seeing what I'm seeing? I'm seeing a trumpet of
gold and a pillar of fire in the air.”
Finally, we arrived at the house gate.
The vision ended.
My little sister that was in the spirit
asked me, “Was it an electric light from the pole?” but I was
confused.
When we got inside the house, we found
brothers and sisters inside, praising together. When we began to
praise people were falling. All I remember is that I saw someone
holding me.
Later I did not see anything else when
suddenly I found out that I was standing next to the bed. My little
sister was lying on the bed next to my body. I noticed that my spirit
was standing and my body was lying on the bed. My stepmother and
people were observing me and my little sister with desperate looks.
Suddenly I saw brightening angels of the
Lord inside the room in which we were. They looked at me and they
said, “The Lord has heard the prayer of your heart. He will show
you mysteries in Heaven.”
At that moment I was still observing my
body and I was amazed to look at it. I watched the shining angel
looking at my sister. They were all in brightening white garments.
They held my hand and that of my sister and we began to rise through
the roof of the house. Then we stopped midway through. I remember
that my stepmother bent on her knees and began to pray, saying to
God, “She is my only daughter. Please, Lord, bring her back to
life. She is my one and only daughter.”
In the meantime, people were hitting her
heart in order to check her pulse. Then I saw the stepmother
massaging my sister's heart. One angel was holding my hand. But the
other angel who was taking my little sister beyond the roof brought
her back and put her spirit inside her body again. Immediately she
woke up crying.
She observed the beloved mother and
said, “What is wrong with you, mother? Why did you do this? It was
a beautiful place. I was doing well.”
CHAPTER THREE THE GATE OF
HEAVEN
The angel of the Lord looked at me and
said, “Joel, the Son of God could not bear your prayers anymore.
And God has answered you today. Come with us.”
At that moment I saw the roof of the
house disappear. An hour later, we began to fly in space at a
tremendous speed. When we rose to space, I started observing and
admiring the stars. I was observing the stars in space passing over
the place. They were beautiful, but we were moving at such a
tremendous speed. And suddenly we arrived before a beautiful gate. It
was all golden. There were radiant angels dressed in white holding
flashing swords.
I noticed by my side a child who stood
at the gate of Heaven. He was transported by an angel who informed
the guardian angel at the gate that the child came to dwell in the
kingdom. The child stood there admiring this city of light and glory.
The angel that brought me said to the
two guardian angels at the gate, “He has come to receive revelation
of mysteries.”
I'm inviting you, beloved, to ask for an
experience today. Tonight the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit of
God will give you something special from God. Some have not seen
it because there's a price to pay, but it's worth it. It's worth the
price.
When that gate opened, the angels gave
way for us to enter. Angels that came to take me are the ones that
took me around the heavenly world and showed me everything. When we
entered the gates of Heaven, it was glorious. I was contemplating the
glory on the horizon. It was something pretty. The Lord was sitting
on a beautiful throne. The glory was tremendous, abounding and
increasing, so much so that I could not stand and I fell on my knees.
Suddenly that angel that was on my side
held me and got me up and said, “We had the conditions for you to
see the glory of God.”
When he said that I got up. I could not
bear the glory, yet I was far away from the Son of God. I was with
the angel of the Lord and I was observing the cosmos.
When I looked I saw my body on the Earth
on the side of my stepmother and my brothers. They were crying around
the bed, and I saw how she was asking me to come back. She cried. I
saw when she called an ambulance. I heard everything they were saying
as she continued to cry.
At that moment, I heard the voice of the
Lord Jesus resounding and saying to me, “You have been asking me
for an experience, and I have answered your request as the God of
revelations and peace. But I do not want your family and people to
mess with your body while your spirit is with Me. You will have to go
back sooner because your body is in critical condition.”
Then the angel began to show me the
celestial kingdom of God.
I said to the angel, “I will stay
here. I do not want to go back to Earth.”
The angel said, “Your body is dying.
It is in the last minutes of life. You will need to go back sooner.”
The angels hugged me in order to say
goodbye but I pushed them back.
I said, “I want to stay back. I'm not
going back.”
CHAPTER FOUR THE TREE OF
LIFE
The angel that was showing me the city
held me by the hand. We passed a beautiful bridge. Under this bridge
I saw crystalline water that was transparent and pure as glass that
was passing under the bridge. And we went to a place that had a
beautiful lawn that was so green. You never have seen it on the
Earth. There was a beautiful tree.
Around this tree, I saw several saints
of Heaven. They were dressed in white garments of brightening light.
I heard them saying, “Holy, holy is
the Lord of armies that fill the Heavens with His glory.”
Suddenly there was an outbreak of
beautiful golden color. Then I saw the flaming chariot of light
landing around the tree of life that had many branches that bear
fruit every season where the saints of Heaven would gather.
When the Lord got off the celestial
vehicle, He said, “This is the Tree of Life prepared for the great
Victory Day. To the one who is victorious, I will grant the right to
eat of the tree of life in the Paradise of God.” (Revelation 2:7)
Then He took me by the hand with Him.
I said, “Lord, I know many loved ones
who have passed away. I would like to see them.”
Actually, I was thinking about these things; I
did not speak verbal words. Yet whatever I thought the Lord answered
my thoughts. I never open my mouth in Heaven. In the celestial world
many times I just had to think and He answered my thoughts.
He said to me, “You will see people
when it's necessary. I know that you want to see people. Come with
Me, I'll show you someone.”
Then we entered a very beautiful and
stupendous building that was overwhelming. There were thousands and
thousands of people dressed in radiant and resplendent white robes.
They were rehearsing. I observed that they were rehearsing, but
nobody was singing anymore because they had finished. It was a time
of silence before the Lord.
Then I noticed someone in the crowds.
The Lord said, “Joel, this is the person you wanted to see. She is
here.”
The Lord showed me my mother that I lost
14 years ago. My mother was with a very beautiful lady from our
community. Beloved, we often despair when we lose a relative but
those who have died in Christ died in the glory. One day we will see
them again.
When I saw my mother coming she was
filled with radiant light and glory. I saw the glory of God in the face of my mother,
CHAPTER FIVE THE CROWN OF
LIFE
When I met my mother, I say to her,
“Morning, Mother, I'm here in Heaven too.”
She said, “My son, this is the time of
silence. We are not supposed to talk here. Otherwise, we will
interrupt the glory of this meeting here.”
Then my mother took me away from that
room that was filled with people. We entered another beautiful room.
They were thousands and thousands of crowns and tiaras scattered
across. They were adorned with crystals. However, the roof and the
ground of this room were made of gold. There was a stair that had
six steps, but we didn't need to climb up and down the stairs.
Actually, we were floating over the six steps that I saw.
Beloved in the years ahead, in the
eternal age of the kingdom of light, we will not need to walk, we
will be flying and floating. These are the things that God has
prepared for His people, things that had never entered men's
imagination, glory to God. We did not walk. We were floating. How
many times when I am going to church I was saying, “It's far
because I have to walk.” But there in the heavenly world, you will
float in the presence of God like angels.
I was admiring the spacious hall where
the crowns were kept. I asked my mother whether they sell these
crowns. She told me, “They belong to the Lord.” There were
thousands of them. I saw beautiful celestial stones that were
shining. There were thousands of beaming glittering and precious
pebbles that were used in order to adorn these crowns. There were
also crowns that had no precious stones.
I asked my mother about my crown.
She said, “You cannot see it now
because you're going back to Earth. You will not stay.”
I replied to my mother, “I want to
stay. I am not going back.”
My mother said, “Son, you cannot stay,
you have to go back and serve. You can see that some crowns have
several precious stones and others only a few precious stones.”
My mother said, “Each soul that you
win for God on the Earth is equal to a precious stone on your crown.
And when you win many souls, you will have many precious stones and
adornment on your crowns. Many crowns are missing precious pebbles
here because God’s people on the Earth do not want to work for
God. People of God do not care about winning souls. Their crowns
lacked precious pebbles. These precious stones you are seeing over
there are the martyrs, people who give their lives for the Gospel.
There are also precious pebbles for people who intercede and cry to
God for lost souls.”
Beloved, tonight in the presence of God,
let us cry for the souls that are dying in this city in our country,
Brazil. Let the soul winner stand in the presence of the Master and
cry. It's worth your sacrifice. Then we left that hall.
CHAPTER SIX THE ARRIVAL
OF THE OVERCOMER IN PARADISE
I was in Paradise in this city of gold
when I saw the gates of Heaven opening. I saw the angel of the Lord
bringing a man who died in Christ and landed before the pearly gate
of the celestial kingdom. He was dressed in pure white. The man
joined a party of angels that were singing in Paradise. The angels of
light were flying, they were sounding golden harps and playing
instruments made of celestial gold.
I asked the Lord about the meaning of
this celebration in Paradise.
The Lord said, “Son, there is always
festivity and celebration when a saint dies on the Earth and arrives in Paradise. My angels celebrate with music and feast the arrival
of a saint who made it to Paradise.”
I saw this believer who was an overcomer
joining this feast in Paradise that was organized for the newly
arrived souls.
Then I saw the Lord standing up, and He
welcomed the man personally and He showed him His hands and the
marks.
After being welcomed by the Lord, he was
taken to the chambers of silence in order to be rewarded for the work
he has done for the kingdom of Heaven, and received the appropriate
crowns adorned with precious stones.
I heard a voice from Heaven saying,
“Blessed are the dead, those who die in the Lord from this moment
on! Yes, says the Spirit, they will rest from their labors for their
deeds will follow them.” (Revelation 14:13)
When he was taken to the Hall of
rewards, they went around a very nice separate door, and I followed
them behind. I approached the Lord who held my hand and told me,
“Touch not that open door, because you will interrupt the glory
service inside the hall in which the newly arrived saints are
rewarded in the very place where people will come from the east and
the west, and will sit in the presence of Moses, Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob in the great day of the Lord's rapture.”
Beloved, it is worth to reject sin and
the pleasure of the world that the devil is proposing and putting
before us in order to enter the eternal and unending glory. It's
worth rejecting everything that the enemy is proposing us in order to
be saved.
CHAPTER SEVEN TIME IS
FINISHED
Then I said to my companion angel, “I
want to see God, I need to see God.”
The angel looked at me and said, “You
are not ready. You cannot see God because you will not be able to
bear the glory of God.”
As he said these words, Jesus Christ
rose from His throne and said, “Here is My Father by My side.”
At that moment, Heaven entered in
celebration and praise. The angel took my hand and said, “You
cannot see God. Let's go.”
We were about to move away, suddenly,
from His throne, the Lord called me and said, “Son, look back.”
When I looked back, I saw the Earth. It
was beautiful and round. Then I saw a huge hand around the
Earth, a very large hand. This hand was like approaching the Earth in
order to shake it upside down.
Suddenly, I heard the explosive
thunderous voice of Jesus detonating. It resounded in the whole
Heaven and said, “Father, wait a little longer. I died for them.”
He was trembling and said, “Wait a
little more, because I died for these people. I died for the Earth.”
Immediately I noticed the Earth left
intact in the same place. God's hand that was about to act against
the Earth was stopped. However, God can no longer bear the ever-increasing smells of the sin of the world rising to Heaven. God’s
anger is held back despite the fact that He cannot bear the smell of
sin in Heaven anymore. The cup of iniquity of the people of the Earth
is spilling.
I asked the Lord Jesus, “When is the
rapture happening?”
Immediately I saw 12 shining and glowing
angels holding trumpets, and they were about to sound the trumpets.
Six of these glowing angels were facing the side of the Earth and six
were facing the other side looking at the throne of Jesus where He
was sitting. They were like anticipating the order to go ahead and
sound the trumpets.
The Lord said, “I am just waiting for
God's command to blow the trumpet.”
Beloved, it is worth to resist sin in
the world while we are waiting for the trumpet of God, for the Lord
Himself will descend from Heaven, with a loud command, with the voice
of an archangel, and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in
Christ will be the first to rise. (1 Thess 4:16)
CHAPTER EIGHT THE WAR IN
THE HEAVENLIES
Then the angel of the Lord said to me,
“Joel, I want to show you something.”
When he said this, he asked me to look
down. I observed where he was pointing and I saw tremendous
darkness. I could not see anything except absolute obscurity.
I told him, “I'm not seeing anything
except for the blackness.”
He said, “Joel, pay attention and look
down in the middle of the dark space.”
I was observing a region of tremendous
darkness when I began to see fireballs appearing and moving in this
dark space. These fireballs were all over the place. They were
thousands and thousands of fireballs moving in this region of
darkness.
When I started looking down from where
they were coming up from, the angel said, “Joel, these fireballs
that you are observing in movement in this dark space are the prayers
of the saints that are rising and crossing the second Heaven in order
to get to the throne of God.”
They travel in the form of torches of
fire. There were thousands upon thousands of fireballs of all shapes
and sizes that were doing zigzag in the firmament.
Then I observed a fireball that could
not reach Heaven because demons were capturing some of them. Not all
the prayers of the saints reach to Heaven.
The angel of the Lord said, “We cannot
do anything for these prayers that are opposed by demons because
these are the prayers of believers who lacked trust and faith in God.
They lack commitment and perseverance in prayer.”
I saw a demon moving in that dark space
trying to catch a fireball in his hand. These were prayers from a
believer whose faith in God was eroding. He no longer believes that
God is listening to his prayers.
Beloved, every night when you bend your
knees to pray, believe that prayer is already going through the
cosmos and arriving in the presence of God. Do not bend your knees
doubting God. When you bend your knee to pray, believe your prayer is
rising and is arriving in the presence of God. Believe that God is
listening to prayer. I had my attention on these flying torches of
fire that were rising up at tremendous speed in the firmament. They
were traveling the second Heaven, which was an extremely dark region.
Suddenly, I saw another demon flying at
great speed in order to grab another fireball but he was unable to do
so. This prayer outdistanced the devil's hand and arrived in Heaven.
When this torch of fire entered the kingdom of Heaven, it burst
opened.
At that moment I could hear the voice of the believer asking the Lord for mercy on his life. As a result, there was
movement in this section of Heaven. I have never seen this kind of
commotion and agitation on the Earth. Angels in Heaven in God's
service move with prodigious speed. Angels were going to Earth at
great speed. They were flying all over the place. They were working
to present the prayers of the saints on the throne. And they were
also getting God’s instructions in response to the prayers of the
saints which they were to bring to the believers.
When I observed the resplendent and
radiant angels in this section of Heaven, I noticed that they were
holding golden cups on their hands, in which there were yellowish
liquid that was glowing with beautiful light.
I saw another angel who had a golden
censer came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to
offer along with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar
before the throne, and the smoke of the incense with the prayers of
the saints rose up before God from the hand of the angel.
Then the angel took a censer and filled
it with fire from the altar and held it to the Earth. And there were
peals of thunder and rumblings and flashes of lightning. At that
moment I observed a particular angel. He took a golden goblet and he
went out of the throne.
My companion angel looked at me and
said, “Joel, this is the Chief Angel Gabriel, the messenger from
Heaven, who is going down to the Earth to answer the prayer of a
believer.”
However, when I watched Gabriel going
down a firmament, I saw a huge demon appearing in the dark space
where Gabriel was flying. This demon did not let Gabriel pass in this
dark region. There were continual fightings in the firmament. The
Chief Gabriel spent the day trying to pass that region in order to
respond to the prayer of a particular believer on the Earth. But I
saw Gabriel flying back again to the kingdom of Heaven because he
could not pass.
At that moment, I looked inside the
heavenly city of Paradise. I saw an angel of light landing before the
throne of the Lord. He began to sing a hymn of praise to the Lord.
When I looked again I saw a powerful angel standing by the throne of
God near the throne of Jesus. The angel was very beautiful. He had a
lot of hair that shone white. He was looking at Jesus. Jesus’
attention was not on him.
Then Jesus told him to go.
Actually, Jesus spoke to the angel
through His mind instead of words. When the angel left the throne, I
saw thousands and thousands of angels that began to sing for the
Lord. As this angel flew away from the throne, I saw him pulling a
very huge sword. He shouted a war cry and said, “This war is mine.”
My companion angel said to me, “Joel,
this is the Chief Angel Michael, the captain of the Celestial army.”
There were agitation, upheaval, and
excitement in the heavenly regions. I saw turmoil in this section of
Heaven. Among the angels of war is the Chief Angel Michael who
rallied for battle. He went down the second Heaven. He engaged the
huge demon that stopped Gabriel from passing.
As the Archangel descended to the second
heaven, I saw the firmament filled with thunderclap and
lightning, like when torrential rain is about to fall. I saw
tremendous lightning, thunderclap, and swords everywhere.
When the Chief Angel Michael engaged the huge
demon in the dark region and he overpowered him, the Archangel’s
sword crossed and beat the huge demon until space and the way was
cleared in the dark space. At that moment I saw the Chief Angel Gabriel
passing in the middle in order to respond to the prayer of that
persevering and persistent believer on the Earth.
If you are praying to the Lord, you
should never give up. You should never stop praying otherwise the angel
will not pass in order to bring you an answer. The more we pray, the
stronger the angel intervenes. When we pray we unleash a war in the
heavenly realms.
The more we pray, the angel will have
the upper hand. When we get discouraged and abandon hope in God, the
enemy will have the upper hand.
Psalms 33:18-19 NKJV Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, {19} To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
Then the companion angel took me by the
hand and said, “Son, you will have to go back. God is showing you
all these in order to tell the saints on the Earth.”
I said, “I do not want to go back.”
The angel held my hand and showed me
several things.
Then he said, “These things that I am
showing now to you are mysteries. They are for yourself. You are
prohibited from revealing these mysteries to the people of the
Earth.”
Suddenly I saw the Chief Angel Gabriel
coming to us. He was majestic, awesome and beautiful.
The Archangel said to me, “My son, I
am going on a mission on the Earth. But when I come back, I will have
to take you back to the Earth because your body is dying. It is
minutes away from death.”
I said to the Chief Angel, “I would
like to stay here.”
At that, I saw the Chief Angel. He
bought his heavenly vehicle which was a chariot of fire that was
moving at a tremendous speed.
At that moment, I began to look at a
monitor like a mirror. I saw the years of my life where I was praying
to God for an experience.
Later when I saw Gabriel coming back to
take me to Earth, I thought in my mind, “I'm going to run away and
escape in order to hide around in Paradise.”
Then Gabriel came. He hugged me and embraced me with his wings saying, “Son, you must go back to your body that is
dying on the Earth.”
Suddenly we began to fly at a great speed.
As we entered the region of the atmosphere, I started to see the
cities. Then I saw my neighborhood. I started to see my humble little
house. I thought we will hit the roof. I'm going to die because of
this great speed. I'm not sure I saw the roofs.
We stopped there and when I looked at
the roof, Gabriel was standing with my spirit on top of my body. Then
my spirit entered my body that was lying on the bed.
He said, “Son, I want to make sure
that your spirit has entered into your body and that your body is
awake or else I'm not going back.”
I said to Gabriel, “I need to go back
to Heaven. I do not want to stay for long.”
But Gabriel said, “God has chosen you
for His service.”
When I came back to my body I was
continually speaking an unknown tongue. I spent two days speaking in
the tongue of Heaven. I could not speak Portuguese my native tongue.
Spectacular :D
