Final Blog on 23 Minutes In Hell —–The Conclusion

Good day everyone this is my last blog post on this book. In today’s blog I will describe more of what Bill saw and then make a couple comments about my thoughts on this powerful book.

The second beast was taller and thinner, with long arms and razor sharp fins that covered his whole body. Claws from it’s hands were nearly a foot long!

They had nothing but hostility towards me. Pure evil. In his story Bill describes what these beasts do to him. Yes you heard me right. They did do horrific things to him..but you will have to read this book to find out what they did. God let this happen to Bill for a reason just like many of us have supernatural encounters with the Lord. I personally have had supernatural encounters and it is truly something so amazing it’s hard to put it into words.

When Bill looked up he saw from afar distance a large pit, with flames…a raging inferno about 1 mile in diameter and about ten miles away. See in the spiritual realm there is no distance.

The flames were intense. The ground around him was all rock, barren and desolate.

In Ezekiel 26:20 it says: “Then I will bring you down with those who descend into the pit, and I will make you dwell in the lowest part of the earth, in places desolate from antiquity, with those who go down to the Pit.”

But….a little while later Bill was brought out of Hell by the Lord Jesus, and thankful but so confused as to why this happened Bill was just at a loss for words. As Jesus brought him up out of hell, Bill saw this light so pure so bright he couldn’t see the face that stood before him but Bill instantly knew it was Jesus…

And when Bill said “Jesus” the Lord said: “I AM”

WOW! and then Bill fell to his feet. Then the Lord restored his awareness that he was a Christian. And of course I don’t want to tell you what happens next!!! You just have to read the book.

I know I know a cliff hanger at best but truly you have to read this for yourselves it will change your life forever!

I thought “God, what if you did that to me?” “I can say this I don’t ever want to go there even for a visit! No way….Thank God Bill shared his story because it serves as a wake up call to all of us!

Remember this. God didn’t put us on this earth to serve ourselves, rather he put us on this earth to serve Him and others!

Be Blessed!

23 Minutes In Hell………..Is Hell Real?…Do people really go there?…Part 1

Today’s topic was one that most of us do not want to discuss, or for the most part acknowledge but, the fact is Hell is real and real people go there. In today’s article I will be giving you God’s Word along with highlights from the book entitled 23 Minutes In Hell a very powerful book. In this book Bill Wiese experienced hell for 23 minutes. God will allow supernatural activity in believers lives that is if they believe and some have dreams, visions, and visitations. The bible is very clear about testing the spirits if you would like to read more on that you can click this link Testing the Spirits

I will only give some of the highlights of this book but really I recommend you reading the book. There is to much information to put into one blog. The next two or three blogs will be on this topic. It is extremely important! And after learning what the bible says on hell and reading this book, I wouldn’t want one person to go there. It’s a real eye opener.

Here are some bible verses: “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts.” Malachi 4:1 KJV

…and will cast them into the furnace of fire. Matthew 13:42

….I am tormented in this flame. Luke 16:24

IF A MAN ABIDE NOT IN ME, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. John 15:6 KJV

And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit…..and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. Revelation 9:2 KJV

For they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth…with them that go down to the pit. Ezekiel 31:14 KJV

Ok! So here are just a FEW verses that speak on hell. There is MANY more in the bible. There are some key phrases I want you to look at.

First “I am tormented in this flame” That is not past tense! It does not say I WAS tormented it says I AM tormented! What does that say about hell? That it is real and it is for the unsaved in this present time.

Second “IF a man abide not in me, he is cast forth.” That means if you do not have Jesus Christ as your Lord and you are not saved then you are going to that dreadful place. It’s not my opinion it’s what the Word of GOD SAYS!

Here are some of the highlights from the book

I was catapulted out of my bed into the pit of hell. I was in a cell and as I lay there on the floor I felt extremely weak stated Bill. I still had a my body and when I lifted my head I could see two enormous beasts, unlike anything I have ever seen before! They were about 13 feet tall and they were not of the natural world. I could sense they were evil and they paralyzed me with fear. The creatures were not human nor where they animals but somehow I knew they meant me harm. I wanted to try and run but I had absolutely NO STRENGTH!

Psalms 88:4 states “I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength” KJV Somehow I had the understanding that death penetrated me, but eluded me. The mental anguish I felt was indescribable Bill stated. The smell of this place was so foul I thought that alone should have killed me but it didn’t it was toxic!

I heard terror filled deafening screams of multitudes…and I was horrified stated Bill. I had the the understanding people on earth did not realize that there was this whole other world going on down here in hell and the fact that it existed! For some reason my senses were keener.

Ok…that was just a little of the first part I have so much to share about this I am sorry but I can not fit this into one blog! I will go into part 2 of this tomorrow…if you want to pray one thing that is so important it would be on this subject! Pray that your loved ones, your friends, even your enemies, even yourself not go to this dreadful place of torment. Be Blessed!

Personal Testimony

Hi my name is Tina Bradley and I would like to share with you my journey with the Lord. My life as a child growing up in a dysfunctional family, living and striving on conditional love from parents and thinking that it was a normal way of living only brought me to a place of loneliness which led to many years of being in torment.

Religion in my family consisted of a few short years of my mother being involved with the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Along with many regulations, laws, and a certain way of living, I had my mother being the self-righteous (good) and my father was a mean, cursing, never show his love, distant and cold towards us.

Really it was like having in a sense Jesus and Satan all under one roof. Mom was saved and trying to work her way to heaven and Dad was not saved and it showed in his actions towards all of us.

My teenage years were very rebellious and I was looking for acceptance and love in all the wrong places. What I found out was I did not find love but others who used and abused me in every way. I wanted so much to just get out of the house I found someone at the age of 16 who was in the army which I loved or at least thought I loved and that was my ticket to freedom but in the end it led me to another road of torment and bondage.

I married when I turned eighteen years old and moved up to Alaska only to isolate myself away from any of my family and friends people who knew me.

I dated my ex-husband for two years before I married him so I thought it was long enough and that I knew him well but I didn’t. He had a drinking problem and I should have seen it before we married but I wanted so much to be away from home or anything that had to do with home I just didn’t think about that being a problem plus when your eighteen drinking is cool no big deal.

He was verbally, mentally, emotionally, and physically abusive to me and for a couple of years I went through ups and downs in my marriage. Things got so bad that I didn’t even care if I died.

We had a little girl during our marriage and I kept thinking to myself I could not see her growing up in this and I wanted a better life not so much for my sake but for hers. She kept me alive and fighting.

I picked up what pieces I had left of my life and left with my daughter. I was angry, bitter, shattered, and lost. I had no hope.

I thought to myself why is it so hard for people to love me why do I have to try so hard what is so wrong with me?

I started to party go out with friends. There I found friends that were cool and that liked me so I was happy well at least for the time being. Dating and hanging out at the clubs was my lifestyle for a few years. I worked hard as a single parent and felt that it was ok to enjoy myself.

I did my duties as a mom well being the provider but then I started asking myself am I really being a great mom it’s not like I had good role models growing up. I smoke, drank, and I clubbed often. Although my daughter was not around any of the lifestyle she did see little of me and more of the babysitter.

I kept the drinking and party life away from the home front but it still affected her. Mom was not around much and that was wrong. I always dated the wrong guy one who was abusive and I could not figure out why I would attract such people.

So long story short abuse after abuse guy after guy it was like I was being gutted from the inside out.

I kept thinking to myself is this it? This is life? This is what everyone goes through, then what is the point of even living?

My sister left the house at a young age also. She was taking drugs, drinking, stripping, and it left her in ruins until God came into her life. God changed her life and I seen that change.

Even though for a long time I did not care but then after a while I looked at her and thought to myself what is going on with her? She is different. She’s happy.

I am not. At that point I had moved from Alaska to Tennessee and had lived there up until just a couple weeks ago when I moved here.

I would visit my sister in Ohio often and every time she would insist I go to church. Well to be honest, I could care less about church and I would get so sick of her bugging me about going I would go just to shut her up.

She attends the Newark Baptist Temple in Newark, OH. Little did I know that all those years my sister prayed for my soul, not giving up hope for me she knew I needed Jesus and she was not going to give up on me.

I could see something happening in my sister’s life and I wanted that also funny thing is I did not want the church, Jesus and I did not want to be the bible thumper either.

I did not understand it was God changing my sister’s life not her changing her own. The first few times I went to the church I felt really out of place everyone was dressed funny and you could tell I did not fit in there.

But much to my surprise everyone was so very nice to me and when I say nice I mean like really nice to the point I was like what is wrong with them they are to nice to me they don’t know me and if they only knew my past oh my gosh they would really not want anything to do with me! If they only knew where I came from that would change their minds.

They enjoyed having me there so much after a while I started to enjoy being there. I started to look forward to going so that I could get all the free hugs and hand-shakes I was like a kid in the candy store! Seems like the place to go I always seem to have people treat me mean so I enjoyed the attention they made me feel loved.

Now I still went out to the clubs and went to parties I even lit the cigarette as I left church services, but that is when things started to change in my life.

In June of 1999 I gave myself to the Lord. I remember it was a guest speaker who sat up on a stool with a lump of clay in his hands and I thought this is crazy what is he doing up there.

I listened and then something in me sank. I felt that I was the only one in there and that the preaching was just for me. I was so overwhelmed and didn’t even know why at that point but I started to cry.

I tried to hold back the tears but I could not I felt so embarrassed and I was so ashamed still not understanding why at the end of the service they did the alter call well I was not going to go I was afraid embarrassed confused well prideful and I was just going to sit there.

But something in me was saying go forth and I felt this pull like someone or something was pulling on my shirt pulling me out of me seat and I got freaked out I was fighting it crying all the way and then the moment came, my sister looked at me knowing what was taking place with tears streaming down her face she says:

“If your afraid I will go with you” and then she took my hand and we left the seats. I confessed I was a sinner in need of Jesus Christ and I got saved. It would take me a very long time to tell of everything Jesus has done in my life and is still doing.

I can not put into words what love can do to a person’s life how it can change. The love of my sister and her church brought me to Jesus. I am humbled at his forgiveness mercy grace and his endless love for me.

One year ago I was told by my husband who is Chris Bradley that God loved me no matter what I have done and that he knew what he got when he scooped me into his arms.

I have had my moments and from my past I had a wrong view of God and his love I thought that I had to earn or work my way to, change on my own, get good to get to God and I knew of him but did not have a relationship with him.

I knew things about him but it was not a personal relationship. I view God like I viewed my parents love as being conditional. If I did good then God was happy but as soon as I messed up then it was run as fast as I can away from God.

But in these few shorts months I learned that it was fear keeping me from my relationship with him. How can someone become friends with another if he or she is afraid of them? It’s possible but not the way God intended.

After learning and the Lord showing me in many different ways just how much his love towards me was pure perfect and complete I started to understand that all he really wanted from me was my heart with no strings attached!

Just me all of me the good bad and ugly even everything in secret. And when I started to fall in love with him I wanted to do things that were pleasing to him not doing them out of fear of what he would do to me.

Now it’s love not fear that motivates me and I am after his heart not his hand. I want to see his face and just simply hang out with him. I want the real deal! And everyone I come into contact with I share what he has done in my life, I want them to know that what he has done for me he will do for them also. Thanks be to God for my salvation and to him be all the Glory.
