A True Testimony of Christ and the Salvation of Souls
When I was a 9 year old boy and loving the Lord, I saw Jesus in all white, dressed as a shepherd standing on the wing of an airplane while it was still boarding. I erroneously thought that someone was trying to play a trick on me to make me become highly religious. Then I became agnostic and got lost for 35 years. I began hearing, seeing, wrestling with the unseen and witnessing powers of the invisible spirit world. Evil spirits had come into my life as a consequence of my sin.
I've lost touch with reality(was deceived) and nearly died at the hands of these devils - both human and demon alike. I've noticed that the humans lose their family and friends. They are scattered throughout the netherworld. They have anger and hatred in their hearts. They are masters at the art of deception. Their evil will not stop without divine intervention and restoration of the soul. They thirst for all that only a most loving Creator can give them. I have discovered that it is the human condition that we are evil and wicked without God in the afterlife. The soul is in ruins and in need of salvation.
1 Peter 4:6. For this reason the gospel is also preached to the dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in spirit.
Father God reached out to me and I heard Him say, "the battle against good and evil has been here since the beginning of time." God battle's evil by salvaging souls through His Son, Jesus Christ. The Father's voice sounds of greatness not of this world. The room was filled with an ancient scent from a world long ago. God had done this to let me know that He was there in the beginning of man's time.
I suffered at the hands of these devils for seven years before learning that they were real and hence Jesus as well. This is how Jesus had found me to begin my undeserving vocation to be an adopted child of God. He left the flock to find that one lost sheep when I saw Him on the wing of that airplane 35 years earlier.
Luke 15:4-7. What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost."
I prayed to Jesus that He would not leave me here to be evil like these people. He put my deceased mother behind me. And the most loving scent of her holding me as a child came over me. Jesus had done this to let me know it was her. He was letting me know that I would be with my mom and that He would deliver me from this evil condition known as hell.
I asked Jesus who these spirits were persecuting me. He told me through the Spirit of truth that they were the dead. I could see that they were lost and inquired about them going to heaven. Jesus had sent down the Holy Spirit stopping in front of me and pointing at me. He was telling me that I would make atonement for them. And that He would forgive them for their sins and deliver them into heaven. Glory be to the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. They truly are mighty to save.
2 Maccabees 12:46. Thus they made atonement for the dead that they might be freed from this sin.
Later, I had a dream were Jesus had removed the anger and hatred from these poor souls hearts. He was informing that the work for atonement had been done. Then with His powers going through me, He turned them back because the work could not be accepted until the door to my hearing and seeing them was closed. I am currently working on this.
Also, an angel had made himself known to me. I have had many visions and dreams, some arranged by God and by the power of the higher angels, guiding me away from sin, in truth toward salvation. I thank God for my sufferings and wisdom gained. I am looking forward to being with God in heaven, seeing these spirit's made good, and seeing my mom again.

"And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and daughters shall prophesy; your old men shall dream dreams; your young men shall see visions."thephoenix wrote:When I was a 9 year old boy and loving the Lord, I saw Jesus in all white, dressed as a shepherd standing on the wing of an airplane while it was still boarding.
Jesus had appeared to me in what was most likely the same white that the angels appeared in scripture.
John 20:12. And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

Psalm 34:7. The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.thephoenix wrote:Also, an angel had made himself known to me.
Once, the angel was beginning to be covered, starting with his wings, in the same white that I had seen Jesus in. Anyone in the visible world can see this white. After one of my struggles with the devils, he had laid his head on mine to show that he was there and cared. They are very loving creatures. Another time, he was calling out my name. His voice is more beautiful than any voice I have heard in this world.

Re: A True Testimony of Christ and the Salvation of Souls
When Jesus had found me, in a vision, He introduced me to Saint Peter.
John 21:16. He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes Lord, you know that I love You." He said to Him, "Shepherd my sheep."
Saint Peter holds the keys to heaven.
Mathew 17:18-19. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

Re: A True Testimony of Christ and the Salvation of Souls
I would like to share some poetry I had written during my struggles.
evil spirits -
in my closet
under my bed
outside my window
in my head
wanting me in hell
giving me a choice
to my decline
i hear their voice
about some demons
in and out of my dreams
except for their powers
they go unseen
God knows where I've been
evil spirits driving me insane
being defiled through sin
there's nothing to gain
for deliverance
obedience is clear
I pray to my Savior
to always be near
I have both seen and had conversations with demons. One told me that it was his job to do evil to me. I was also told that they settle their differences with violence. I was possessed twice by a demon masquerading as God. His deceit was short lived.
Leviticus 19:31. Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them; I am the Lord your God.
Mediums and familiar spirits involve consulting the spirits of the dead. All contact with these or other spirits was strictly forbidden in Israel. It demonstrated lack of faith in and rebellion against God.
1 Peter 5:8-11. Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for [someone] to devour. Resist him, steadfast in faith, knowing that your fellow believers throughout the world undergo the same sufferings. The God of all grace who called you to His eternal glory through Christ [Jesus] will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you after you have suffered a little. To him be dominion forever. Amen.

Re: A True Testimony of Christ and the Salvation of Souls
Before and After
Jesus had removed the anger and hatred from the dead's hearts with His powers. They went from varying shades of darkness to white. Their souls are restored before going to heaven to be with God, Jesus, the angels, family and friends.
1 Peter 1:23. having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because “All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, But the word of the Lord endures forever.”

Re: A True Testimony of Christ and the Salvation of Souls
God calls out to mankind to accept His grace in Christ for the salvation of their souls.
Romans 10:9-10. that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Re: A True Testimony of Christ and the Salvation of Souls
My thoughts on Salvation
God in His immense love for mankind created humans to be with Him as part of a most loving heavenly family with the angels. There is nothing more beautiful for the Christian than this. To go against this is to go against all that we were created for. It is the human condition that we are evil and wicked without God in the afterlife. One suffers a spiritual death…the soul is evil, deceitful, and in ruins. Man is better off had he not been born. Hence, the value of salvation is greater than the sum of our lives. God is a righteous God and must punish sin. Due to man’s iniquities, man was unable to be with God and was to be punished. God in His great plans and love for mankind gave His only begotten Son as Christ, the Redeemer and Savior of mankind, so that at the time of bodily death, the soul of the believer can be salvaged(restored) by the divine powers of Christ. And, the believer may not suffer the unhealthy condition of being without God and His love.
John 3:16. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
God has proven His love for mankind through His Son, Jesus Christ.
