When the Lord our God and his Jesus ask us to do something and flatly refuse to do so now comes the rod of iron by JESUS himself. When this pasture
There was this certain pastor who one day was driving on his way to get to a church meeting of sorts. There were things that the Spirit of God wanted him to tell someone about what God was displeased with but this pastor was a bit reluctant. This went on for several weeks or so. Then unbeknown to this Pastor he was driving his SUV down a stretch of road and there were no other cars coming or going by.
As he was driving and thinking of the things he needed to accomplish for himself, in a burst of a soft flash he was being transported into this purplish environment it was like walking through a purple haze or cloud. On the other side he could hear cheers and tears of joy! When he came through this misty veil
he knew where he was, he said, "I am in heaven"! People came
to him telling him how much they missed him.
Yet, this pastor still couldn't believe his eyes! Two angels showed up and one, which he recognized while he was on earth, this angel would show up at his sermons and prayers for healing time. These two angels were dressed in a casual attire. The one has a white shirt with a draw string and the other had a similar attire. They led him down to this one street and a little red head girl said, Pasture do you remember me? The pastor told the little girl I don't believe so.
We don't know for sure what heaven looks like but we do know where the Father of Lights lives and his Son Jesus its got to be paradise...
The little curly head girl said, look, I was bald when I had cancer but Jesus gave it all back to me when I came to heaven to be with him! Look what I can do! She messed up her hair and within one second the hair was perfect again! Nothing in heaven is messy! Not even ones own hair. The two angels told the pastor come lets us be gone we have many things to show you before your appointment with God!

saw this picture he said, daddy this is the man I saw who came to me!
As the pastor looked around he noticed some beautiful flowers and as he walked by they followed his direction by turning and produced the most beautiful odors a flower could possibly give. He stopped and asked the angel, can I pick up one of those flowers and the angel said, go ahead! I picked it up and I thought I heard something and I brought the flower close to my ears and it was humming a beautiful tone of music.
I dropped the flower down to the ground and it replanted itself and grew to full maturity once again producing this beautiful smell. I will stop here for now, but just what this man experienced took him eight hours in heaven and eight hours passed on earth when his corpse was taken to the morgue. He was in all account dead!
One thing for certain I wouldn't want to be this pastor waking up with my body wracking in pain, he said, he could hear his bones knitting up and coming together, ooh!
When he came back to life and after a few years of rehabilitation, he wanted to see his vehicle and ask what just exactly happen. The police report read that he was crushed from both front and back of his vehicle in other words he was sandwiched. The weird part the police officer noted was, there were no body or no vehicles that were involved in the initial compact from both front and back of his vehicle.
THIS IS THE GENTLEMAN A PASTOR, RICHARD SIGMUND. THE LORD KEPT HIM IN HEAVEN FOR EIGHT EARTH HOURS. DURING ALL THAT TIME IS BODY WAS IN THE HOSPITAL MORGE! HE CAME BACK AND WROTE ABOUT HIS MIRACLES. HE HAS PASSED ON PERMANENTLY TO BE WITH JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. THE BOOK WAS CALLED "MY TIME IN HEAVEN" BY RICHARD SIGMUND.
The police officer and the pastor both agreed on one thing, by the looks of what happened it looked like God cupped his mighty hand around the vehicle like a hand around a flying mosquito and clasped both of ends of the vehicle at the same time! It was so fast, one second the pastor was driving and another he was traveling through a midst of colors sort of like a curtain between heaven and earth.
He didn't feel the sting of death until he woke back up, when Jesus sent him back home! You have to read his book it's awesome testimony about his eight hour stay with Jesus and the kingdom of heaven with all its host both angels of all kinds and men, women and children. It's called, "My time in heaven" by Richard Sigmund. It was a blessing to my wife and myself!
One thing for certain the Father has eternal patience but life on earth right now is not eternal! When the Lord commands you to do something, you do it! If not he will get your attention quickly...
From what I surmised after reading his book for about the twenty times, was God commanded him to talk with someone he did not feel comfortable with doing...He deliberately disobeyed God in doing so. Finally the Lord had it and wanted to see him! So God made an appointment with Richard Sigmund unbeknown to Richard himself. Probably an Angel of great strength and power was ordered to bring Richard to the throne room of God himself.
This is why the vehicle was completely crushed with no other vehicles involved and this happened after crossing over the bridge and from there it was all open road, nothing you could run into if you wanted too! It happen so quickly, Richard had no idea at the brief moment from thinking his own thoughts he was now being pulled into this purple haze of a curtain.
The rapture can happen that fast also! One second your planning on doing something while your driving to your destination and the next depending on your relationship with Jesus your entering the outskirts of New Jerusalem in heaven. This is why the Apostle Paul told his Christian brother and sisters, "Today is the day of salvation"!
When the Lord commands us to do something and you refuse but later come back and obey he respects that, but if someone says to the Lord, yes I will do it and doesn't he will draw the displeasure of the Lord and will have to answer for it one day.
The book of James states, many people will say,"We will go here and there, but James said, "If it is the Lord's will, we will do this and do that, for you don't know what tomorrow may bring". When we are young and busy and having fun, I can attest to my own life that sometimes if not more times than not, we forget about God and his Son Jesus. We think we will live forever! But honestly, doesn't 99% of youths feel the same way, even all of us who are mature adults.
I pray I can reach on this blog, the young and young adults, I write this because this is what the Lord told me to do. If it were left to me, I would probably find something else to do. It took me months to obey God in doing this because I didn't feel I could be anyone's role model as a Christian much less write about it. The Lord sternly in his loving way rebuke those thoughts and told me not too worry so, it wouldn't be my words it would be his.
So, here am I! Writing and awaiting what the next word or words are going to be! I am not a writer or preacher or teacher or deacon of any church! I am with the struggling 80+% who have to bring food on the table and keep a roof over our heads and clothes on our backs and to carry the burdens of this life on our shoulders each and everyday of our lives. I am not rich and I am not poor, I live in comfort in the eyes of the world but I carry a burden in my soul and I begged God to take it away!
I have a "thorn" in my flesh (ptsd) and I have to live with myself! If I get two days of being relaxed and not feeling ill I can only thank God for it! I begged God to heal me but the below promise was still in effect as it was in Paul's Time!
But the answer was always the same! The Apostle Paul said, he
had a "thorn" in his flesh! We don't know in particular what that "Thorn" really was but we do know it was in his flesh or it could have been a demon attack! But whatever it was he brought it to Jesus and Jesus said, "My grace is sufficient in thy weakness", for when you are weak, I am strong saith the Lord. My thorn as with the Apostle Paul's keeps the both of us in humility and in human weakness, depending on Jesus our Messiah to be there to deliver us.
Did you ever sit back in the evening when all the kids were asleep and sit back on the sofa or up in bed while your spouse fell asleep, then wonder what are you here for and what is your purpose! I know I do too often! The word of God came to me saying, "In everything gives thanks for this is the "Will" of God in Christ Jesus concerning {YOU}! It sounds quite simple enough! How many times do we thank Jesus everyday, especially when something annoying happens to you or something bad?
I will be perfectly honest, I wasn't always thankful to God! But at the end of the day I have to repent to my Father for being disobedient. It's not like we disobey purposefully unto God and in spite, not thanking him, we being "sinners" in the flesh obey our "feelings" more than the creator. Before you realize what happened you said it and now your repenting later on for it. We try and try again but our flesh is weak.
I really don't know if being creatures of habit is a bad thing or good thing. I guess one could turn it around for the better with God's helping hands.
We all have to remember that our bodies are still under the curse of the "Law"! Our souls were delivered by Jesus Christ our Lord but our flesh yet waits sometimes in patiently for the Great Resurrection! When Jesus descends from the heavens with a shout, our sinful flesh both dead and alive will be changed in a twinkling of an eye in a flash of a millisecond! Until that happens brothers and sisters we are still bound in this sinful flesh until that day!
Another thing that bugs me about the flesh is our flesh is a creature of "Habit"! In grain that thought right now! We do things or say things under stress we really don't mean to say or do to others. Because our sinful bodies were programmed from early childhood. This becomes your model in life (Subconsciously). The body hates change, I know I do! This is why the Lord Jesus every so often chastises us if we are not obedient.
He knows all about our flesh, he lived in it too but without sin! He was the only one who could! Your habits and my habits will always be tainted with "sin" until the great resurrection! The only thing you and I can do is ask for forgiveness when these bad habits keep rearing its ugly head in our lives. No matter the sin, sin is sin! Whether you killed someone or even think about it, in God's eye you have already committed it!
There is a simple and sure fire way to secure God's forgiveness and that is to "Forgive those who sinned against you"! When you live in un-forgiveness you create this hole in your life energy that envelopes your bodies. Demons can breakthrough that weakened energy field.
This is why Jesus is the "Mediator" for sinful mankind. He is the high priest knowing what we go through everyday and how weak we really are without his Holy Spirit guiding us ever closer to God's throne. He pleads with God everyday to forgive us because we are his! But that doesn't relieve you and I from the responsibilities of living a righteous life! He will only plead for you if you repent!
But there is a catch, if you forgive those who hurt you in some kind of way, shape, or form, then your heavenly Father will forgive you of your sins! If you don't forgive them who sin against you, neither will your Father forgive you of your sins! It's a simple reciprocal in God's kingdom! There is another thing going on at the throne of God! Satan is there bound and he accuses us day and night, he is known as the "Accuser of the Brethren"! He is the prosecuting attorney in another fancy form.
Each time you and I sin or any nation, satan will go to the God of both heaven and earth and argue that you and I are sinners and don't deserve heaven and satan would be right about 2500 years ago before the resurrection of Jesus! The devil has the deed and the keys of life and death, Adam and Eve gave up their birthright when they sinned against God!
I bet you never knew young ones that we have a constant accuser before God himself wanting the Lord to give our flesh to him along with their souls! Not all is lost, we have also a high priest and his name is Jesus the Christ! Who constantly defends and sticks up for his saints in the flesh!
He doesn't accuse any sinners because they are his anyways! He accuses only the born again believers (Church Age Saints). Jesus as our "Defense" Attorney pleads with the Creator that Father you gave them to me and you promised you would not lose a single one! Besides I died for all their sins, "past", "present" and future! Then God probably looks over to the prosecutor (satan) and says you can't have them and nor will I allow you too take their lives because they sinned!
When the "Caught Up" happens when Jesus descends from the heavens with a shout! It will be at this time, God will kick out
satan and strike him to the earth and his demons. the Bible says,
the heavens and heaven will rejoice for the accuser of the brethren (satan) has been cast down from the heavens to the earth. But woe unto you inhibitors of the earth, for the devil has come unto you having great wrath because he knows, he has but a short time (7 year tribulation hour).
All this has not happened yet! There is a lot that goes on in heaven, there are myriads of angels ready to fight in your behalf. Some of these angels are 25 miles high in height. Think about it for a minute, the word specifically states, that the earth is God's footstool. How big does God have to be for this to literally mean what he says? Pastor Sigmund said, when he saw God's shape on the throne down to his feet, he said, the thought came to him that God's big toe is the size of the state of Tennessee.
When the "word" says the size of the heavens are the span of God's hands! If the eternal heavens are measured to the Lord and he is bigger than his creation, all I can say that finite minds are purely incapable of conceiving how big our Father and our God truly is...
Pastor Sigmund said, he knew without knowing that God's throne was twenty five miles high! When your in heaven he is gigantic! Power of Atoms in big swooshes emanate from the God's body and ripples outward from the throne. The angel told him that is God's answer to prayer for someone.
It says in the Bible, that the heavens is the span of God's hand! God is Eternal! We as humans make him small in our individual lives, when if you really got to see him, you would quake in fear and fall down as a dead man, like the Apostle John did when he was taken to heaven. The Lord wants me to end this right now! God bless!
