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!

Is Satan Robbing You?

Jesus said, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

According to these words of Jesus, the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy everything good in your life. He wants to destroy your job, your joy, your happiness, your health, your finances, your marriage, and your kids.The thief just wants to ruin anything he can get his hands on!

The devil is very cunning in the way he steals from people. He knows that if he does it outright, his actions will be recognized; therefore, he steals from people in such a deceptive way that he often accomplishes his evil goal before they even know he has stolen from them!

If the thief hasn’t already walked away with everything we hold precious and dear, he will then try to convince us that we need to sacrifice or give up everything he hasn’t already taken from us.

The thief cannot bear the fact that you possess any kind of blessing. Therefore, if he is unsuccessful at stealing the good things from your life, he will try to cunningly convince you to give up everything you possess and love — simply because he doesn’t want you to have it. He may even try to create stressful situations that cause you to conclude that your only solution is to sacrifice the things you dearly love.

We discover that if the thief is unsuccessful in his attempts to steal from you or convince you to sacrifice what you hold dear, he will then try to ruin it!

“The thief wants to get his hands into every good thing in your life. In fact, Satan is looking for any opportunity to wiggle his way so deeply into your personal affairs that he can walk off with everything you hold precious and dear. And that’s not all – when he’s finished stealing all your goods and possessions, he’ll take his plan to rob you blind to the next level. He’ll create conditions and situations so horrible that you’ll see no way to solve the problem except to sacrifice everything that remains from his previous attacks. The goal of this thief is to totally waste and devastate your life. If nothing stops him, he’ll leave you insolvent, flat broke, and cleaned out in every area of your life. You’ll end up feeling as if you are finished and out of business! Make no mistake – the enemy’s ultimate aim is to obliterate you.”

But in the bible Jesus says: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). Jesus offers us a life that is filled with vitality. Jesus offers us a life of abundance.
What a comparison! The devil comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy, but Jesus comes to give life as we have never known it!

In your walk with the Lord, you will experience times when the devil pushes buttons in your emotions to keep you all bound up and depressed. Other times the enemy will disguise his voice to make you think God is talking to you in order to get you off track or cause you to cast off your deepest dreams as pure imagination.

But whenever these attacks occur, just tell the devil to shut up and stop dropping those dimwitted thoughts of nonsense into your head. Tell him to hit the road! Let him know you’re not going to bite that bait any longer, so he might as well go fishing somewhere else. You’re not a sucker anymore! You know how he works now, and you’ve determined that he isn’t going to steal, kill, or destroy one more good thing in your life!

There’s no doubt about it!

• The devil wants you to be defeated.
• The devil wants you to struggle through your entire life.
• The devil wants you to be sick, depressed, down in the dumps, glum, and miserable.
• The devil wants you to feel like you will never hit the target with your life.
• But Jesus wants to give you a life that is unrivaled, unequaled, matchless, incomparable, richly loaded, and overflowing with life to the ultimate maximum!

So now that you know the devil wants to make your life a less-than-gratifying, unhappy, uneventful life — a life that no one will even notice is gone once it’s over — what are you going to do about it?
