In this marvelous vision, I was kneeling at the feet of Jesus whileS He reclined comfortably in a chair. The Lord Jesus was speaking Aramaic to me, and I understood the language, even though I had never learned it. I listened intently as Jesus “Go forth, for I send you. Do not explained certain things. Then the Lord Jesus placed His right fear, My child, for I am with you.” hand on my head and said: I stood and gazed intently into Jesus’ reassuring eyes and then turned to go. I knew my mission; it had been sealed by the hand of God. The mission imparted to me through Jesus Christ is to preach God’s truth so that people can be set free. “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36). There are many people who are trapped by the bondage of the enemy, which prevents them from experiencing this great liberty God has for them. Satan began his deceit in the Garden of Eden when he said to Eve, “Did God really say not to eat of ~ 7 ~ the fruit of this tree? Surely you will not die if you eat from it.” Satan continues his deception upon mankind when he says: “There is no heaven and there is no hell. When you die, it is over and there is no life after death.” Or Satan whispers in the ear of those who do believe in heaven and hell, “There are many ways to heaven, just do what is right in your own eyes and you will get there, because God loves you.” Both are lies from the pit of hell. Heaven is a real place that has been prepared by God for those who have repented of their sins and have asked Jesus to forgive them. Receiving Jesus’ gift of salvation guarantees eternal life in heaven. Likewise, hell is a real place for those who have refused the gift of forgiveness through Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. Hell is not an exclusive place just for mass murderers, drug lords, and child-traffickers. Hell is made up of ordinary sinners. If you have ever told a lie, cheated on your income taxes, had lustful thoughts, become angry, used God’s name as a swear word, then you are a sinner. Hell is your destination without Jesus. My assignment from the Lord is to communicate His truth, because there are only two choices: heaven or hell. There are no other options, no matter what you have been taught, what you have heard, or what you believe. Ultimately, you decide which place you will spend eternity. My prayer is that you will come away with a greater biblical understanding of heaven and hell, and make a decision worthy of the knowledge you have gained through this book. For those who know Jesus and know their own heavenly destination, my prayer is that these spiritual visions and rich teachings that were imparted to me by the Holy Spirit will strengthen your walk with God ~ 8 ~ and draw you ever closer to Jesus. Introduction he Holy Spirit woke me in the middle of the night “There is an invisible barrier that must be and gave me the following message before I began crossed to go into the spiritual realm. Angels freely cross writing this book: this barrier to travel back and forth from heaven to earth and demons cross this barrier to travel from hell to earth becauseT they are spirits. In order to cross this barrier, you will be in the spirit, but your body will remain on earth. You will see things in heaven and hell, but your physical body will remain on earth. You will have your five senses when you are in the spiritual realm and see these visions. You will be able to hear, see, smell, touch and taste. You will also have all your emotions: fear, anguish, sorrow, joy, peace and laughter.” “When it is time for you to view heaven and hell, I will assign an angel to you. Angels have different jobs and functions, and they take orders from Me; they do not act alone. My angel will escort you into the spiritual realm. Do not fear. I am preparing you in advance so you know how it will happen. I will show you visions of heaven and hell so ~ 9 ~ you can record what you see for this book. My child, do you accept this commission I have set before you?” I answered the Lord, “Yes Lord God, I am Your handmaiden. I accept Your commission to go in the spirit to heaven and hell to record what I will witness for this book.” In the Bible, there are scriptural examples of people being taken in the Spirit to view things God wanted to show them. The Apostles John and Paul were taken up in the Spirit and shown things in heaven so they could record their experiences. “After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice that I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, ‘Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.’ Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne” (Revelation 4:1-2). “It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord: I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago— whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter” (1 Corinthians 12:1-4). The Prophet Ezekiel was lifted in the Spirit to an unusual place so God’s revelations could be recorded. “The hand of the LORD came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed ~ 10 ~ they were very dry” (Ezekiel 37:1-2). I do not want to elevate or equate myself with these great Apostles and Prophets who were shown mighty things to record in the Bible; for I am just a humble handmaiden of the Lord. What I have learned and accepted is that God is sovereign and He has a purpose for revealing certain details about heaven and hell at this point in history. I believe that we are very close to entering the final years before Christ returns, but only the Father in heaven knows the time and the day. There are signs that we are approaching these last days and Jesus described to His disciples the sign of His coming and the end of the age. “And Jesus answered and said to them: ‘Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

God does nothing on earth save in answer to believing prayer. –John Wesley We are living in dangerous times and if there was ever a time when we need to pray, it is now. More can be done by prayer than anything else, prayer is our greatest weapon. –Billy Graham Prayer is invading the impossible. It is essentially a partnership of the redeemed child of God working hand in hand with God toward the realization of His redemptive purposes on earth. –Jack Hayford If I could impress my heart on every syllable and baptize every word with my tears, I could not too earnestly entreat you to be above all things earnest in prayer. –Charles H.

It’s active, but not overbearing. Fun, but not silly. Passionate, but not dramatic. Be Clear – Use common language and simple words. If you wouldn’t use it in a conversation, don’t use it in your writing. Be Concise – Cut the fluff and make it easy for the reader. Focus your message and communicate it as efficiently as possible.
