To Heaven and Back (Chapter Five)

Chapter Five

She became a devoted follower. She went to church. She served in the church. But most of all, her mission in life was to share her experience with others. She helped many in her church to overcome obstacles in life. She helped many to find themselves in God after a traumatic experience. But most of all, she gave her love, her time, her life to the people around her.

Her first official talk came 2 years later, when her church invited her to give a talk in church about the difficulties in her life. The minute she stood up on stage, she felt the Holy Spirit came upon her. And she opened her mouth and spoke,

“Come out, evil ones!”

At once, manifestation began all over the church. People screamed, they fell to the floor. The whole place was in chaos.

“OUT! GET OUT!” She hollered. More screams resulted. The whole church was given deliverance and yet, the helpers in church did not know what to do.

“Be still.” She commanded.

Everyone calmed down immediately. A few continued to convulse. She began to sing.

Holy Spirit, thou art welcome in this place
Holy Spirit, thou art welcome in this place
Omnipotent Father of mercy and grace
Thou art welcome in this place

Peace went through the place. The Holy Spirit came upon all who were there and many began to weep with the joy of His love. Silence followed as many people received the Holy Spirit once again in His presence. Many wept with the joy of knowing Him again.

The next words she spoke were, “I went to Heaven and came back. I killed myself, but God lead me to Heaven. He showed me His love is truly unconditional. You can experience the same joy, the same love, because He loves you as much as He loves me. Of course, I am not asking you to kill yourself. No. I am asking you to seek Him. In your joy, praise Him. In your sorrow, praise Him. Seek His face and He will come. He never forsakes you and He never will. He is your Father in Heaven, and He loves you more than anything. He is One with you if you would let Him. He is yours if you are willing to be His. Allow Him to come and live with you. Walk with Him and let him into your heart. Experience His joy and His love in your life. Cry out to Him in faith and He will lead you. Trust Him with all your heart and soul. Never turn away from Him in times of sorrow, but seek Him to lead you out of the dark tunnel into the light once again. He will come and lead you, if only you would let Him. He will lead you out of the valley of the shadows of death and into His light, for He is the Light of the world."

Many people were weeping by now, and many cried out to the Lord. She stepped back and fell to the ground. She worshipped the Lord, giving thanks to Him for His strength and His power. Many in the congregation followed suit. Soon, the whole church was giving thanks to the Lord.

“Go now, go and share this with your loved ones. Share this with your family, with your friends. Tell the world of His great love. Bless His name and He will bless yours.”

She stepped back once again and walked down the stage. Many were still worshipping the Lord, lost in their communion with God. She smiled as she walked out of the church.

“It feels good Jesus.” She whispered. “Thank you Holy Spirit”

The spring in her footsteps as she walked away was undeniable.

She had fully come home to Him...
