Chapter 24: Better to Be Right With God
"What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?" — Mark 8:36 (NASB)
The testimonies of people who are right with God may not be as graphic as the testimonies of those who were far from God and experienced judgment.
But that's a good thing.
This chapter explores why it's better to be right with God and experience His mercy than to be far from Him and experience His wrath.
Two Kinds of Testimonies
There are two kinds of hell testimonies:
1. Testimonies from people who were far from God
These are often graphic, detailed, terrifying:
Descriptions of flames, demons, torment
Souls screaming in agony
Graphic depictions of suffering
Prolonged experiences of terror
Why? Because they experienced what awaits those who reject God—the full horror of hell.
2. Testimonies from people who are right with God
These are often less graphic, more protected:
Limited exposure to hell's horrors
Divine intervention before full immersion
Shortened duration
Focused on God's rescue rather than hell's torment
Why? Because God limits what His children experience. He shows them enough to warn others, but not so much that they're destroyed by it.
My testimony falls into the second category.
I didn't see graphic torment. I didn't experience the heat. I didn't descend all the way.
Jesus stopped it before I went too far.
Psalm 34:19 — The Righteous Suffer, But God Delivers
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all."
The righteous do suffer. They do face trials. They are afflicted.
But the Lord delivers them.
The difference between the righteous and the wicked is not the absence of trials—it's the presence of God in the trials.
1 Corinthians 10:13 — God Limits Our Trials
"No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it."
God sets limits on what believers endure.
He knows our capacity. He knows our breaking point. And He never pushes us beyond what we can bear with His grace.
That's what happened in my vision. God showed me enough to understand the reality of hell, but He set a limit: "I'm not letting you go any further."
The Wicked Have No Such Protection
Psalm 73:18-19 describes the fate of the wicked:
"Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. How they are destroyed in a moment! They are utterly swept away by sudden terrors!"
No protection. No limits. No mercy.
Proverbs 1:24-27 — God warns the wicked:
"Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention... I will even laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your dread comes, when your dread comes like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you."
This is sobering. Those who reject God will face unrestrained judgment.
But those who are right with God experience His mercy even in trials.
Romans 8:1 — No Condemnation
"Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
Believers are not condemned.
Even when we face trials, even when we're disciplined, even when we suffer—we are not under condemnation.
The wrath of God does not fall on those who are in Christ because Jesus already bore that wrath on the cross.
Romans 5:9 — "Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him."
Jesus absorbed God's wrath so we wouldn't have to.
Better to Be Right With God
It's better to:
Experience God's mercy in trials than to experience His wrath in judgment.
Be disciplined as a child than to be condemned as an enemy.
Walk through the valley with God than to descend into hell without Him.
Have a non-graphic testimony of God's protection than a graphic testimony of God's judgment.
Hebrews 12:6-11 — Discipline vs. Judgment
"For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and He scourges every son whom He receives... He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness. All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness."
God disciplines His children because He loves them.
Discipline is proof of sonship.
If God never corrected you, it would mean you're not His child (Hebrews 12:8).
But discipline is not condemnation. Discipline is correction for good. Condemnation is punishment for evil.
Believers receive discipline. Unbelievers receive judgment.
The Vision as God's Mercy
The vision of hell was God's mercy toward me.
He could have let me continue in complacency. He could have allowed my heart to fail. He could have let me die unprepared.
But He didn't.
He sent Gabriel to heal my heart. He gave me a vision to wake me up. He corrected areas of my life that needed change. He gave me a fire to witness.
All of that was mercy.
Even the frightening parts—the descent, the spinning, the terror—were measured mercy, designed to warn me and equip me to warn others.
Jonah's Example
Jonah ran from God. God sent a storm. Jonah was thrown overboard. A great fish swallowed him.
Inside the fish, Jonah prayed:
"I called out of my distress to the LORD, and He answered me. I cried for help from the depth of Sheol; You heard my voice... While I was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to You." (Jonah 2:2, 7)
Was the fish a punishment?
No. It was rescue.
God could have let Jonah drown. Instead, He provided the fish to save him, give him time to repent, and bring him to his destination.
What looked like judgment was actually mercy.
The same is true of my vision. What looked terrifying was actually God's protective intervention—stopping me from going further, correcting my path, saving me from worse.
The Call to Righteousness
The lesson: Get right with God and stay right with God.
Don't wait for a crisis to repent.
Don't assume God's patience will last forever.
Don't take His mercy for granted.
Hebrews 3:7-8 — "Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, 'Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.'"
Today. Not tomorrow. Today.
If you hear God's voice, respond.
If He's convicting you of sin, repent.
If He's calling you to a task, obey.
If He's warning you, listen.
Better to be right with God now than to face judgment later.
Matthew 16:26 — What Will You Trade Your Soul For?
Jesus asked: "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"
What are you trading your soul for?
Money?
Pleasure?
Success?
Approval?
Comfort?
Nothing in this world is worth your soul.
Get right with God. Stay right with God. Live for eternity.
Reflection Questions:
Are you right with God? If not, what's preventing you from surrendering to Him?
Read Romans 8:1. What does it mean that there's "no condemnation" for those in Christ?
Have you ever experienced God's discipline? How was it different from punishment?
What would you be willing to trade for your soul? What's holding you back from full surrender to God?
Is God convicting you of anything right now? Will you respond today?
Prayer:
Lord, I want to be right with You. I don't want to experience Your wrath—I want to walk in Your mercy. Thank You that there's no condemnation for those in Christ. Thank You for discipline that corrects rather than punishment that destroys. Search my heart. Show me anything that's not right. I repent of my sin. I surrender my life fully to You. Keep me close, keep me right, keep me faithful until the day I see You face to face. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Chapter 25: "Because I Was With You" - Jesus' Constant Presence
"I am with you always, even to the end of the age." — Matthew 28:20 (NASB)
When I asked the Lord why I wasn't afraid during the vision, He gave me the simplest, most profound answer:
"Because I was with you."
Three words. That's all it took.
Jesus' presence removes fear.
This chapter is about the power of God's presence—how it changes everything, how it sustains us in trials, and how it's available to every believer, every moment.
The Question I Asked
After the vision, I was processing what had happened. I was spinning toward hell, descending into darkness, being pulled by a black hand into another realm.
By all rights, I should have been terrified.
But I wasn't. I felt calm. At peace. Unafraid.
I asked the Lord, "Why wasn't I scared?"
His answer: "Because I was with you."
That's it. That's the whole explanation.
God's presence is the antidote to fear.
Psalm 23:4 — You Are With Me
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."
"For You are with me."
That's the reason David could walk through the valley without fear.
Not because the valley wasn't real. Not because the danger wasn't present. Not because death wasn't near.
Because God was with him.
The presence of God changes everything.
Biblical Examples of God's Presence Removing Fear
Throughout Scripture, when God appears to people, His first words are often: "Do not fear."
To Abraham (Genesis 15:1) — "Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you."
To Moses (Exodus 3:12) — "Certainly I will be with you."
To Joshua (Joshua 1:9) — "Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
To Gideon (Judges 6:12, 16) — "The LORD is with you... Surely I will be with you."
To Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:8) — "Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you."
To Mary (Luke 1:30) — "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God."
To the disciples (Matthew 14:27) — Jesus said, "Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid."
To Paul (Acts 18:9-10) — "Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent; for I am with you."
The pattern is consistent: God's presence removes fear.
Isaiah 41:10 — The Promise
"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."
Notice the progression:
"Do not fear" — the command
"For I am with you" — the reason
"I am your God" — the relationship
"I will strengthen you" — the promise of power
"I will help you" — the promise of assistance
"I will uphold you" — the promise of support
Everything flows from God's presence.
When He's with you:
You don't need to fear
You have strength
You have help
You have support
His presence is enough.
Isaiah 43:2 — Through the Waters, Through the Fire
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you."
God doesn't promise to remove the waters or the fire.
He promises to go through them with you.
The waters won't overflow you — not because there are no waters, but because God is with you in them.
The flame won't burn you — not because there's no fire, but because God protects you in it.
That's what happened in my vision.
I was in the "fire" (descending toward hell), but I wasn't burned because Jesus was with me.
The Three Hebrew Boys in the Furnace
Daniel 3:24-25 records King Nebuchadnezzar's astonishment:
"Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up in haste; he said to his high officials, 'Was it not three men we cast bound into the midst of the fire?' They replied to the king, 'Certainly, O king.' He said, 'Look! I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!'"
Three men were thrown into the fire. Four men walked in it.
The fourth was Jesus (a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ, often called a theophany).
Jesus joined them in the fire.
And because He was with them:
The fire didn't burn them
The ropes that bound them burned off
They walked freely in the flames
Not even the smell of smoke was on them (Daniel 3:27)
God's presence in the trial protected them completely.
Matthew 28:20 — The Promise to All Believers
Jesus' final words to His disciples before ascending to heaven:
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
"I am with you always."
Not sometimes. Not when you're good enough. Not only in church.
Always.
Every moment of every day, in every situation, in every trial, in every valley.
Jesus is with you.
John 14:16-18 — The Holy Spirit Within
Jesus promised:
"I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth... for He abides with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."
The Holy Spirit dwells IN believers.
Jesus isn't just near us or around us. Through the Holy Spirit, He is in us.
Colossians 1:27 — "Christ in you, the hope of glory."
Galatians 2:20 — "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me."
You are never alone.
Christ is in you through the Holy Spirit.
Hebrews 13:5 — Never Forsaken
"For He Himself has said, 'I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you.'"
This is a quote from Deuteronomy 31:6, but here's the powerful thing about the Greek text:
The phrase uses five negatives in the original language for emphasis:
"I will never, no never leave you; I will never, no never, no never forsake you."
Five negatives stacked on top of each other to express the absolute impossibility of God abandoning His people.
He will NEVER leave you. NEVER.
The Practical Reality
Knowing that Jesus is always with you should change how you live:
1. You can face any trial without fear
Because the same Jesus who walked on water, calmed storms, raised the dead, and conquered hell is with you.
2. You can make bold decisions in obedience
Because the One who holds the universe together is guiding you.
3. You can rest in difficult circumstances
Because the One who never sleeps or slumbers is watching over you (Psalm 121:3-4).
4. You can endure suffering with hope
Because the One who suffered and triumphed is suffering with you and will bring you through.
5. You can die without fear
Because the One who defeated death is with you through death and into eternity.
The Awareness
The problem isn't that God isn't with us. The problem is that we're not aware of His presence.
We live as though we're alone.
We worry as though we're unprotected.
We fear as though we're abandoned.
But we're not.
Jesus is with us. Always.
Practicing the Presence of God
Brother Lawrence, a 17th-century monk, wrote a book called The Practice of the Presence of God. His entire spiritual life revolved around one discipline: living in constant awareness of God's presence.
Whether he was washing dishes, peeling potatoes, or praying in the chapel, he practiced acknowledging God's nearness.
He would say to God throughout the day:
"Lord, I am Yours. You are with me. I do this task in Your presence."
That's the key: awareness.
Try this:
Throughout your day, pause and acknowledge God's presence:
When you wake up: "Good morning, Lord. Thank You for being with me."
When you face a challenge: "Lord, You are with me in this. I'm not alone."
When you're afraid: "Jesus, You are here. I will not fear."
Before you sleep: "Thank You, Lord, for walking with me through this day."
This simple practice will transform your experience of life.
The Testimony
The reason I wasn't afraid during the vision is the same reason you don't have to be afraid in your trials:
Jesus is with you.
Not watching from a distance.
Not observing from heaven.
With you. In you. Beside you. Holding you.
And if Jesus is with you, what can stand against you?
Romans 8:31 — "If God is for us, who is against us?"
No one. Nothing.
Reflection Questions:
Do you live with daily awareness of God's presence, or do you often feel alone?
Read Isaiah 43:2. What "waters" or "fires" are you walking through right now? How does knowing God is with you change your perspective?
When was the last time you felt God's presence powerfully? What were the circumstances?
What would it look like for you to "practice the presence of God" throughout your day?
What fear do you need to release in light of the truth that Jesus is always with you?
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You that You are with me always. Thank You that I am never alone, never abandoned, never forsaken. Help me to live in constant awareness of Your presence. When I'm afraid, remind me that You are with me. When I'm overwhelmed, remind me that You are with me. When I walk through valleys, fires, and floods, remind me that You are with me. Let Your presence be more real to me than my circumstances. And let that reality drive out all fear. In Your name, Amen.
Chapter 26: God Doesn't Want You to Feel Pain
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." — Revelation 21:4 (NASB)
After the vision, the Lord said something that deeply moved me:
"Jesus loves you and didn't want you to feel any pain."
That's why the vision wasn't graphic. That's why I didn't experience the heat. That's why Jesus stopped the descent before I went too far.
God doesn't delight in our suffering. He protects us even in His corrections.
This chapter explores God's heart of compassion and His desire to shield His children from unnecessary pain.
The Heart of God
Lamentations 3:32-33 reveals God's heart:
"For if He causes grief, then He will have compassion according to His abundant lovingkindness. For He does not afflict willingly or grieve the sons of men."
God does not afflict willingly.
When He disciplines, it's necessary, not desired.
When He corrects, it's for our good, not His pleasure.
Ezekiel 33:11 — "Say to them, 'As I live!' declares the Lord GOD, 'I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live.'"
God takes no pleasure in judgment.
His heart is that people would turn and live, not perish.
The Father's Compassion
Psalm 103:8, 13-14 describes God as a compassionate Father:
"The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness... Just as a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust."
God knows:
Our weaknesses
Our limits
Our frailty
Our humanity
And He has compassion on us because of it.
He doesn't expect us to be stronger than we are. He doesn't push us beyond our capacity.
He knows we are dust, and He treats us accordingly.
Jesus' Compassion in the Gospels
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus is moved with compassion:
Matthew 9:36 — "Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd."
Matthew 14:14 — "When He went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and healed their sick."
Matthew 15:32 — "I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat."
Luke 7:13 — When Jesus saw a widow whose son had died, "He felt compassion for her, and said to her, 'Do not weep.'"
Jesus' default response to human suffering is compassion.
Not indifference. Not judgment. Compassion.
Why God Limits Suffering
God could have shown me the full graphic horror of hell. He could have let me descend all the way. He could have exposed me to the heat, the torment, the agony.
But He didn't.
Why?
Because He loves me and didn't want me to feel unnecessary pain.
He showed me enough to:
Understand the reality of hell
Develop urgency for the lost
Warn others
Fulfill His purposes
But He didn't show me more than necessary because that would have been cruel, not corrective.
1 Corinthians 10:13 — "God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it."
God sets limits.
He measures out our trials with precision, ensuring we're never pushed beyond what we can bear with His grace.
Hebrews 4:15-16 — Jesus Understands
"For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
Jesus sympathizes with our weaknesses.
The Greek word is sympatheō — to suffer together with, to feel compassion.
Jesus doesn't observe our pain from a distance. He enters into it. He feels it with us.
And because He understands, He extends mercy and grace in our time of need.
The Refining Fire
Malachi 3:2-3 describes God as a refiner:
"But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire... He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver."
A refiner doesn't destroy the metal—he purifies it.
He applies just enough heat to melt away the impurities (the dross) without damaging the precious metal.
Too little heat → the impurities remain
Too much heat → the metal is destroyed
The right amount of heat → pure gold or silver
That's how God refines us.
He applies just enough difficulty to purify us without destroying us.
1 Peter 1:6-7 — "In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."
The trials are necessary, but they're also measured.
God applies only as much heat as needed to produce the desired purity.
Revelation 21:4 — The Ultimate Promise
One day, all pain will end:
"And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."
No more tears.
No more death.
No more mourning.
No more crying.
No more pain.
This is God's ultimate desire for His children—a pain-free eternity in His presence.
The suffering we endure now is:
Temporary (2 Corinthians 4:17)
Purposeful (Romans 8:28)
Light compared to the glory to come (Romans 8:18)
But it's not forever.
One day, God will wipe away every tear. And pain will be a distant memory.
Trusting God's Heart
When you're in pain—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—it's easy to question God's goodness:
"If God loves me, why is this happening?"
"If God is powerful, why doesn't He stop this?"
"If God cares, why does He allow me to suffer?"
Here's the truth:
God does love you. His love is not proven by the absence of pain, but by His presence in pain.
God is powerful. He could stop your suffering instantly. But He knows that removing the trial too soon might prevent the growth He's producing.
God does care. He cares so much that He limits your suffering to only what's necessary, and He promises to walk through it with you.
Romans 8:28 — "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
God is working everything—including the painful things—for your good.
Not because He delights in pain, but because He's using pain to refine, strengthen, and prepare you for greater things.
The Testimony
The Lord's words to me—"Jesus loves you and didn't want you to feel any pain"—have become a foundation of my faith.
They remind me that:
God's corrections are measured, not excessive.
God's discipline is purposeful, not punitive.
God's heart is compassionate, not cruel.
Even when God must discipline me, He does so with the least amount of pain necessary to produce the desired result.
That's the heart of a loving Father.
Reflection Questions:
Do you believe that God doesn't want you to feel unnecessary pain? Why or why not?
Read Psalm 103:13-14. How does knowing that God "knows our frame" change your view of His discipline?
Have you ever experienced God limiting a trial before it became too much to bear? What happened?
When you're in pain, do you question God's goodness, or do you trust His purposes?
How does the promise of Revelation 21:4 (no more pain in eternity) give you hope for today's struggles?
Prayer:
Father, thank You that You don't delight in my suffering. Thank You that even when You must discipline me, You measure it with love and limit it with compassion. Help me to trust Your heart when I'm in pain. Help me to see that You're refining me, not destroying me. Give me faith to endure trials, knowing that You work all things for my good. And remind me that one day, You will wipe away every tear, and pain will be no more. Until that day, walk with me through every valley. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Chapter 27: The Invitation - Safe and Secure With Him
"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28 (NASB)
This is the final chapter, but it's not an ending.
It's an invitation.
An invitation to come to Jesus, to dwell in His presence, to live safe and secure under His protection.
An invitation to experience everything this book has described—God's sustaining power, angelic ministry, divine protection, eternal life.
This is the invitation of the gospel.
God's Desire for You
What does God want for you?
The Lord told me after the vision that He wants me to feel safe and secure with Him.
Not just be safe and secure (though we are).
Feel safe and secure.
There's a difference:
You can be safe but feel afraid.
You can be protected but feel vulnerable.
God doesn't just want us to be objectively secure in His hands. He wants us to experience that security, to feel it, to rest in it.
Psalm 91:14-16 — God's Promise to Those Who Love Him
The final verses of Psalm 91 are God's own words, explaining why He protects those who dwell in Him:
"Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name. He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With a long life I will satisfy him and let him behold My salvation."
Six promises for those who love God:
"I will deliver him" — Rescue from danger
"I will set him securely on high" — Elevation and protection
"I will answer him" — Response to prayer
"I will be with him in trouble" — Presence in trials
"I will rescue him and honor him" — Deliverance and reward
"I will satisfy him... and let him behold My salvation" — Fulfillment and revelation
All of this flows from two conditions:
"Because he has loved Me"
"Because he has known My name"
Love and knowledge unlock God's protective promises.
The Invitation of Jesus
Matthew 11:28-30 — Jesus said:
"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
"Come to Me."
Not to religion. Not to rules. Not to rituals.
To Jesus Himself.
If you're weary — Come to Jesus.
If you're burdened — Come to Jesus.
If you're tired of striving — Come to Jesus.
He promises rest.
Not just physical rest, but rest for your soul—peace, security, freedom from anxiety and fear.
John 6:37 — Jesus said: "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out."
If you come to Jesus, He will not reject you.
No matter what you've done.
No matter how far you've fallen.
No matter how broken you are.
If you come, He will receive you.
The Call to Salvation
If you've read this entire book and you're not yet saved, this is your moment.
God has been speaking to you through every chapter:
The vision of hell → Warning you of what awaits without Christ
The healing → Showing you God's power and love
The sustaining power → Revealing that God keeps your heart beating
The angelic ministry → Demonstrating God's care and protection
The promises of Psalm 91 → Inviting you into divine protection
All of this is God calling you to Himself.
Will you answer?
How to Respond:
1. Admit you're a sinner and you need a Savior (Romans 3:23)
2. Believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose from the dead (Romans 10:9)
3. Repent—turn away from sin and toward God (Acts 3:19)
4. Confess Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9-10)
5. Call on His name (Romans 10:13)
Pray this prayer now:
"Lord Jesus, I come to You. I admit that I'm a sinner and I need You. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn away from my sin and turn to You. I confess You as my Lord and Savior. Save me. Forgive me. Make me new. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I surrender my life to You completely. Thank You for loving me, for dying for me, for saving me. I am Yours. In Jesus' name, Amen."
If you prayed that prayer sincerely, you are saved.
Welcome to the family of God.
The Call to the Already Saved
If you're already a believer, this book is a call to go deeper:
Deeper into intimacy with God — Don't settle for Sunday Christianity. Dwell in His presence daily.
Deeper into awareness of the spiritual realm — Angels are real. Warfare is real. Live accordingly.
Deeper into your calling — Use your gifts to bear fruit that remains.
Deeper into urgency for the lost — Hell is real. People are dying. Witness boldly.
Deeper into trust — God keeps your heart beating. Trust Him completely.
The Final Word
My testimony is simple:
God is real.
Jesus is alive.
The Holy Spirit is active.
Angels minister to believers.
Hell is real.
Heaven is real.
Your heart beats because God sustains it.
And God wants you safe and secure with Him.
That's the message of this book.
Now the question is: What will you do with it?
Will you come to Jesus?
Will you surrender completely?
Will you dwell in His presence?
Will you live in the reality of Psalm 91?
Will you use the time God gives you to bear fruit for eternity?
The invitation stands.
"Come to Me."
Conclusion: World Without End, Amen
This book ends, but the story doesn't.
The story continues in your life.
Every heartbeat is a reminder that God sustains you.
Every breath is evidence that He gives you life.
Every day is an opportunity to dwell in His presence, bear fruit, and point others to Jesus.
I pray that this book has:
Awakened you to spiritual realities
Deepened your intimacy with God
Ignited a fire for the lost
Equipped you to walk in divine protection
Given you hope for eternity
Now go.
Dwell in the shelter of the Most High.
Abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
Walk with God daily.
Bear fruit that remains.
And when your time on earth is done, step into eternity knowing that your heart beat because God willed it, and your soul lives because Jesus saved it.
To God be the glory, forever and ever.
World without end.
Amen.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I am a writer by nature and by calling. God designed me to bear fruit through the written word. I write what He says to write. You read it. The message takes root in your heart. That's fruit.
This book is the result of a vision God gave me on December 23rd, 2023—a vision that changed my life and ignited a fire to witness that burns hotter every day.
I don't share my name because the message is more important than the messenger. This isn't about me. It's about God—His power, His presence, His protection, and His purpose.
I have other writings available online where I share testimonies, teachings, and encouragement for believers. I write about:
Walking with God in daily intimacy
Spiritual warfare and victory
Healing and divine intervention
Angelic ministry
Living in God's presence
If this book blessed you, share it with others. Let it bear fruit in their lives as it has in yours.
To God alone be the glory.
