Retha McPherson - Heaven & Hell: From God a Message of Faith: A Young Boys Experience of Heaven and Hell

But I have this against you,

that you have forsaken your first love.

- See Revelation 2:4 -

Dear Bride,

Jesus is calling you by your name and asking for your hand. See this letter as yet another invitation to His fast approaching wedding feast. Dont resist Him lay everything down and listen to His constant knocking on the door of your heart.

It is His desire for an intimate love relationship with you. He wants you to be one with Him, and to worship Him in spirit and truth. The God of all creation planned this day for you to hear how much He loves you.

He is on His way; the time of His coming is very near. He is coming for a Spirit-Bride. Are you ready? Are you on fire for Jesus? Have you fully given yourself over to Him? Have you laid everything down? If not, now is the time.

Jesus is the only answer for a broken heart, a failing marriage, a difficult child. Maybe your life seems perfect, but deep down you know you are lukewarm and you realize you are missing something. Whatever it may be, believe me when I say there is only one answer: Jesus!

Yes, Jesus is alive! I experience Him in everything around me. I hear Him in Joshs bubbling laughter. I feel Him in one of Aldos tight hugs. I smell Him in the flowers Tinus gives me on Shabbat. I experience Him in the cold wind against my cheeks. I feel His soft touch in the suns rays on my hands. I hear His voice in Aldos monotone: Mommy, I love you so much. Jesus is definitely alive!

Yes, Jesus is coming again to fetch His beautiful, spotless, and set-apart Spirit-Bride.

Yes, Jesus will be here sooner than you think look around you, the whole creation is screaming it out!

In exchange for your life, He gives you a life in abundance and eternal life with Him in heaven. He is not only looking for your heart, but your whole life and especially the throne of first-love in your heart. Nothing less will do.

Jesus held nothing back. When He gave His life, He gave His everything.

Are you prepared to do the same?

Jesus, I love You with all my heart! Together with the Spirit and the rest of the Bride, I call out with all my strength: Come, Lord Jesus! Come!

This is where we ended off in our book A Message From God.

This chapter is only a short summary of our first book and it paints the background so that you can share with us the miraculous testimony of a young boys supernatural experience of heaven and hell, from then till now.

At the outset of 2004, to an outsider looking in, my life could have been described as perfect. I was crowned as Mrs. South Africa, and my business was flourishing. I had a wonderful husband at my side, two beautiful boys to fill the quiverand I was totally sold out to the world and all the glitz and glamour it had to offer me.

For the most part, my life revolved around my children. After struggling to conceive with both of them, I was like a protective hen over her chicks. My kids were not allowed to drive with anyone besides me. I was determined to protect them I will take care of them, I will provide, I will protect, I will decide. I was controlling everyone around me. My entire world revolved around me, myself, and I, until the Lord brought me to face a big red stop sign in June 2004. There I learned how weak I really was.

An automobile accident changed the course of my picture perfect life, irrevocably. My husband, Tinus, our two sons, and I were returning home from one of my speaking engagements as Mrs.South Africa. We were on a busy highway, when a stationary vehicle in the middle of the road, left Tinus no other option but to swerve off the road to avoid a collision and to miss the oncoming traffic. Josh, my youngest child, was two years old at the time, and Aldo, my eldest, was twelve. Both the children were thrown from the vehicle on impact. We found Josh lying near the wreckage, but Aldo was nowhere to be found.

After what felt like an eternity, I found Aldos limp body on the other side of the highway. His skull was cracked and hot blood was trickling from his ears. He was already in a coma. I heard the sound of another oncoming vehicle that swerved off the road to avoid the accident scene, and I immediately jumped up from where we laid hidden. At that moment, the vehicles headlights completely blinded me, and suddenly my whole body started shaking. When my body relaxed, I felt a fire running over me, followed by the peace of God that truly transcends all human understanding. Although I kneeled at my childs broken body, I still experienced a peace that was totally supernatural.

Nothing can prepare any parent for such a moment. Since then, His peace has never left me. Yes, I do go through valleys and over hills just like the rest of you, but His peace has always been with me. There, at the side of the road, kneeling beside my unconscious son, I met the God of the supernatural.

Aldo was immediately airlifted to the hospital. The emergency medical team tried to reassure us that he was in good and capable hands, but they also warned us that he was badly hurt, and they couldnt guarantee that he would pull through. Their biggest concern was his head injury that resulted from the intensity of the impact. We later found out that his midbrain, brainstem, and the front part of his left lobe sustained the most damage. For weeks after the accident, Aldo was still in a coma.

One night I had a dream, and in this dream I could clearly see that my son was at the brink of death. In fact, I thought it would be mere moments before he breathed his last breath. In the dream, I saw his fingers shrinking and his lips turning blue. (In the natural, we had been vigorously fighting for his life for weeks, but he showed no signs of improvement and he was still in a coma. To tell you the truth, I was starting to doubt if we could win this battle.)
