PRAYER OF SALVATIONROMANS 10:9-10 (NLT)

"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.

It's so easy To receive Jesus Christ into your heart, Pray this out loud with your mouth And you will be Saved. Once you do, your name will be written in the Lambs book of Life for all Eternity. (Revelation 21:27)

Heavenly Father, I am a sinner. Right now I confess that Jesus is Lord. I believe in my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and is alive and seated in Heaven at your right hand. Lord Jesus come into my heart and live in me and through me. I make you my lord and savior. Thank you Father God that I am saved and

born again right now. Thank you Jesus for dying for my sins and cleansing me from all unrighteousness. I am saved, Thank you

Jesus. Amen.

AMAZON's Book: I'm using this as a Reference to my NDE-

Now, using scientific evidence, Chris Carter challenges materialist arguments against

consciousness surviving death and shows how near-death experiences (NDEs) may truly provide a

glimpse of an awaiting afterlife. 

birth memories, or oxygen starvation--and clearly shows why each of them fails to truly explain the

NDE. Exploring the similarities between NDEs and visions experienced during actual death and the

intersection of physics and consciousness, Carter uncovers the truth about mind, matter, and life after

death.

Being Nine months pregnant is nothing compared to the rest of that child's Life. It is the same compared to your life here and now on this earth. Nine months pregnancy time frame is very short in comparison to the beginning of that child's life here on earth.

This is a great example of our lives on earth in comparison to eternity with God Almighty. When you get born again, that's when the nine month pregnancy begins. You become conceived and when you die, that is when your life in eternity begins. Our time on earth is the nine month pregnant term.

1THE WORD

JOHN 6:63 (NLT)

63 THE SPIRIT ALONE GIVES ETERNAL LIFE. HUMAN EFFORT ACCOMPLISHES NOTHING. AND THE VERY WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN TO

YOU ARE SPIRIT AND LIFE.

I Believe if you will open your heart today, the Holy Spirit will talk to you. I'm speaking what the Lord Jesus has put on my heart to say. For the Spirit alone gives eternal life. The flesh profits nothing. John 6:63Rod will show you the word of God as a support system to tell you his testimony. The flesh profits nothing, but it's the words that our Heavenly father speaks to us through his word are spirit and they are life.

If you speak God's words you'll be speaking life to others, fill your heart with the word of God.

JAMES 1:21B (NLT) 21 SO GET RID OF ALL THE FILTH AND EVIL IN YOUR LIVES, AND

HUMBLY ACCEPT THE WORD GOD HAS PLANTED IN YOUR HEARTS, FOR IT HAS THE POWER TO SAVE YOUR SOULS.

The word is defined in Webster's Dictionary as the expressed or manifested mind and will of God putting one's feelings into words. God uses words to transfer his thoughts with our thoughts so we can think what God is thinking, so that our thoughts will line up with God's word. Words are the vehicle to transfer ones thoughts to another's thought life, words are just a vehicle or vessel to transfers ones thoughts into another's thought life. Amen? Words come from a belief, and beliefs come from continual thoughts. You choose which thoughts to think on, If a thought enters your head and mind and it does not line up with the word of God, then cast it down.

2 CORINTHIANS 10:5 Webster's Bible TranslationCasting down imaginations, and every high thing that

exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

A Thought is a spiritual seed.How do you get and think on the right thoughts? Well the Bible which is the word of God tells us in the book of Philippians.

PHILIPPIANS 4:8 (NIV) 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 

Okay, now you are thinking on the right thoughts. And you now understand how to cast down vain imaginations or thoughts if they do not line up with the word of God. Now let's look into saying, how your words have power.

Mark 11:22-24 (NIV)22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 

JESUS CURSES A FIG TREE

(MARK 11:12-14)

Rod G. Portelli Jr.

12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.

Your words have power, you will have what you say. There is power in the name of Jesus Christ.

Let's look at the victory we have in Jesus, and how Jesus has the keys to hell and death. When Jesus died on the cross and spent three days in hell, God raised Jesus from the dead.

ROMANS 10:9 NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (NIV) 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

So Praise God, He is the most High God, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Heaven and hell are real and when you die you will go up or down depending on your decision towards God and Jesus hear and now on this earth while you are living here. Praise God.

2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Well How is God going to transform you? It's by Words, and how are you going to change the way you Think? Changing the way you think comes from reading His Word, The Word of God. Also hearing the Word of God, by getting His Word into your heart.

2SOME HISTORY

Okay, now Romans 10:13-14 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the

Lord will be saved.” 14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? I'm going to read this backwards, if you will allow me to and indulge me in reading this backwards, trust me there is a mighty message you are about to read and hear.

Please follow with me. If you preach they will hear and if they hear they will believe and if they believe they will call

and when they call they will be saved. Think about it, when you preach people will hear just like now you all are reading and hearing me by Words, right?

When you preach people hear and when they hear they think about what you're saying. Basically when you Talk you're taking your thoughts and you're transferring them through words to their thought life. So when you preach they hear they think they meditate on what you're saying and when they think about what you're saying they will believe because when you preach they hear they meditate they think and when they think those words you speak gets into their hearts. When it gets into their hearts they will believe what you said is true. And once you believe and once they believe they will call, they will speak what they believe. Because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. And once they call, Glory to God they will be saved. Amen.

Well God saved me, Jesus name saved me from eternal death.

The words I speak are spirit and life, the flesh profits nothing. One translation say's, the flesh is useless. Amen?

PURPOSE OF WRITING THIS GOSPEL JOHN 20:30-31 (AMP)

30 There are also many other signs (attesting miracles) that Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these have been written so that you may believe [with a deep, abiding trust] that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), the Son of God; and that by believing [and trusting in and relying on Him] you may have life in His name.

I was born in New York, Manhattan in 1968. My Father is or was Italian for he has passed on to Heaven. My mother is Greek. So that makes me Half Italian and Half Greek, the best of both worlds.

I have one younger brother by three and a half years. But I let him think that he's older at times.

My father owned a growing prosperous property management and parking company in the eighties. In 1987 was the peak of his business and money actually did grow on trees for us in the mid to late eighties. My dad bought or leased a brand new car for my brother and I every three years. During this time in 1987 I had a 1987 Chevy Trail Blazer, two door and blue. I decked it out with running boards and rear spoilers and so on. I always looked for ways to increase the look of my car. Well one day while working on my Chevy Blazer in the garage with the door closed and the engine running, I died from CO,

8

Carbon monoxide. I was breathing in CO for about ten to 12 minutes before I started to feel dizzy and faint and tired, it was the drowsiest I have ever felt.

3TRUE LIFE "NDE"

PSALM 107:13-15A13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

    and he saved them from their distress.14 He brought them out of darkness, the utter

darkness,    and broke away their chains. 15 Let them give

thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love    and his wonderful deeds for mankind,

Well That's exactly what God did for me when I cried out to God to save me, and by that cry to God after I died was saved back to life. I am here today to tell you what God and Jesus Christ did for me by the Holy Spirit. By and In the Name of Jesus Christ.

I was living in Toronto Ontario Canada at the time in 1987. In October it's cold, I do not miss the cold and snow and everything that comes from living in the east coast.

In 1987 I flat lined, I died while I was in the garage at home. I pulled into the garage and shut the garage door behind me and parked inside my home garage. I intentionally left my car's engine running so I can work on my blazer and have my car's radio playing music so that my battery would not die. Well trying to not let my car battery die, I died rather than my battery. For the sake of playing my car's stereo and my in car phone on, I did not want my battery to die with no one home to give me a boost if after I finished working on my blazer I wanted to go back out. The irony of leaving my car's engine running in the garage with the garage door closed and shut to prevent my battery from dying, I died.

I am in the garage with the door closed and my car's engine still running filling the entire garage with exhaust fumes. That is how I died, by the car's engine exhaust,

'CO'-carbon monoxide. It puts you to sleep painlessly. This is my Testimony.

It started off with dizziness and then an overwhelming tiredness or I became very sleepy. It would be like taking a Ambien going to sleep and then it kicks in while your laying in bed while watching TV, and you try to fight the effects of

the sleeping pill you just took going to bed, but you can't fight it. It over takes you and you fall asleep, comfortably. Well that's the best way I can describe how it felt in the

11

Rod G. Portelli Jr.

garage on the cold concrete floor with the engine running and the door shut closed.

It felt like the prescription strength sleeping pill or even over the counter sleeping pill I took kicked in and I could not fight the drowsy feeling so I had to give in to the feeling of going to sleep. I fell to the cold concrete garage cement floor. At that time I did not realize what was happening to me and I did not put two and two together. I would have shut the car engine off sooner and open the garage door before I died, and I would have crawled outside for fresh air. As cold as it was in Toronto at that time of year. It was like five degrees below zero, and with the wind chill factor it could be minus twelve degrees outside.

Enough with the weather conditions. Now parked in the garage and my engine running and the door shut. I am now inside breathing in the exhaust fumes for a while now.

Well eventually I died by just falling asleep from the scenario of carbon monoxide. More on 'CO' in the next chapter. So as I died or flat lined, I found myself in the next realm called the spirit realm. I had all my sense's about me and in fact all my sense's were sharper. From falling asleep to the next moment I realized that I was not alive on this earth any more. I suddenly was in this deep blackness that was surrounding me and I was being pulled downward toward hell. I could not stop my decent, I had my arms outstretched to try to stop or slow my decent down. But with my arms outstretched trying to grab onto something to stop myself from falling or being pulled down. I knew now at that point that I was dead and not on this earth anymore, I was not alive anymore. I am in the next spirit

12

realm being pull downward by a strong force that I had no control of. I was scared in this next realm and this blackness surrounding me, I was scared beyond belief. I was fully aware of what was happening to me because I still had all my sense's and I still had my mind and I was able to think.

In John 20:29 "You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me."

Now I was a sinner, I never accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior. I remember coming home and my mother would be upstairs in her bedroom praying out loud, "In the Name of Jesus we are healed" In the name of Jesus, so and so. I just remembered my mom praying out loud using the name of Jesus. In the spirit realm where I am on my back in a blackness of atmosphere, being pulled down. Then all of a sudden I remember the words of my mother praying out loud, In The Name of Jesus, etc. So I spoke out in death with a force pulling me downward I used my memory on earth to call out to God in the name of Jesus. I called out to Jesus, and I said in my decent to hell,

"God save me I don't want to die, In the Name of Jesus save me". Then that power pulling me down was instantly released and I started to glide peacefully and gently back up toward my body. Even though I'm still in this blackness encompassing me I now had a overwhelming peace about me after I called and asked God to save me in the name of Jesus. There is power in the Name of Jesus. His name saved me when I called and prayed or cried out to God in the name of Jesus. Jesus I don't want to die save me Jesus. Then Boom, that power pulling me downwards was released by and in the name of Jesus. Now I'm

13

Rod G. Portelli Jr.

gently gliding back up to my body with peace knowing that it's going to be okay now. This is so powerful. After I cried out to Jesus to save me that power was released in Jesus name. That fear that gripped me on the way down and getting stronger on the way down was now gone, Praise God.

I believe that a lot of people who die and now being in the next realm, they have called out to Jesus to save them on their way to hell. After calling to God and Jesus they Were saved and now are in Heaven. Praise God, the most High God.

I believe that is when I became born again, in the death of my body and in the spirit realm I called to God in the name of Jesus save me I don't want to die. That is when I became born again. Since coming back to life, I saw the world differently and sin was not the same. Sin had no punch to it. The power in the name of Jesus in the spirit realm is immediate and faster than the speed of light in the next realm where when you die you will spend eternity in this next realm. If you ask Jesus to save you here and now on this earth your name will be written in the lambs book of life.

JOHN 20:31 (NLT) 31 But these are written so that you may continue to believe[d] that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name.

As a Teenager I would hear my mom upstairs in her bedroom or my parents bedroom praying out loud, She would be praying out loud. In the name of Jesus I rebuke you Satan, In the Name of Jesus we are blessed, etc. And so on and so on.

So that memory of my mom praying by saying out loud so I could hear her say In The Name of Jesus, I pulled that from my memory after I died and being pulled down ward in this thick Blackness and darkness. It was so dark I could not see anything but I could see and hear in the next spirit realm. So Being pulled down without being able to stop myself with my arms out stretched to grab onto something to stop myself from this magnetic pull down. Praise God.

BEING PULLED DOWN WARDS BY A MAGNETIC FORCE

So I am dead and going down towards hell and I was scared. During this down ward decent in the spirit realm I said out loud in the next spirit realm, "GOD HELP ME, I DON'T WANT TO DIE SAVE ME IN THE NAME OF JESUS SAVE ME". God almighty heard my pray but Looking back and after graduating from Rhema Bible College and training center I know that it was the POWER OF THE NAME OF JESUS that saved me and caused me to start ascending and now I'm going back up to my body on earth in this natural realm. Peace came over me while I was still in the spirit realm. Praise God for the name of Jesus,

Praise God for the word that became flesh and dwelt among us on this earth. The word became Flesh, (John 1:1)

JOHN 1AMPLIFIED BIBLE (AMP)

THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST

1 In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. 2 He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being. 4 In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorb it [and is unreceptive to it].

There is Power in the Name of Jesus Christ. It was the name of Jesus that saved me and the power in the name of Jesus when I said In the Name of Jesus Save me I don't want to die. When God speaks it happens, Every time. And according to the word of God it says that we are created in the image of God and we are created in the likeness of God. Which means that God made us humans to be like God himself. So if God Spoke the planet earth into existence then we have the word of God to speak towards our lives and we can create by speaking our lives into action.

So back to my flat lined experience. After and as soon as I said in the next spirit realm, God save me I don't want to

17

Rod G. Portelli Jr.

die in the name of Jesus save me. That is when that power pulling me downward was released, the name of Jesus is so power full that in Philippians chapter 2 and verse 9 to 11 it says;

PHILIPPIANS 2:9-11 (AMP)

 9 For this reason also [because He obeyed and so completely humbled Himself], God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW [in submission], of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess and openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord (sovereign God), to the glory of God the Father.

It's amazing to think that in one moment I was in my garage alive and the next second I'm not alive anymore and I'm in the spirit realm. I slipped out of my natural, physical body into the next realm. When a person dies there soul and spirit continues to live on for all of eternity.

18

4BACK TO LIFE ON EARTH

PSALM 107:2-3

2 Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story—    those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,

3 those he gathered from the lands,    from east and west, from north and south.

This is why I'm telling you and the world my Testimony, because of the name of Jesus saved me in death then others will hopefully remember my testimony and cry out to Jesus to save them. And Jesus will save them. His name saved me and God is no respecters of persons what he does for one he will do for another.

There is Power in the Name of Jesus Christ.

THE SILENT KILLER

CARBON MONOXIDE - CO

It's called:

"THE SILENT KILLER"

In the United States, unintentional carbon monoxide exposure accounts for an estimated 15,000 emergency-

room visits each year and 500 accidental deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention. (CDC)

A running automobile releases Carbon Monoxide .aka. CO in the exhaust. To prevent increased indoor air levels of CO, never idle a vehicle in a garage or other enclosed structure's.

...but newer cars have catalytic converters that eliminate over 99% of the carbon monoxide produced.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas that can kill you quickly. It is called the silent killer because it is colorless, odorless, tasteless and non-irritating. If the early signs of CO exposure are ignored or the CO concentration is very high, a person may lose consciousness and be unable to escape the danger. CO exposure is the leading cause of death due

20

Flat Lined

to poisoning in the United States. Also Most CO exposures and poisonings occur when people are in the home.

CO poisons the body primarily by preventing the body from getting the oxygen it needs. When CO is breathed in, it attaches to hemoglobin, the molecule that normally carries oxygen in the blood. As more CO is breathed in, more CO attaches to hemoglobin and less oxygen can be delivered throughout the body.

The enclosed space could be a sealed tent or motor vehicle, estimating a time to death of between 5 to 15 minutes. It does not matter if there is air in the enclosed space to start with, as given a choice between carbon monoxide and oxygen, the protein hemoglobin in the blood will always latch on to carbon monoxide and ignore the life-giving oxygen.

INFORMATION FROM:

https://www.health.ny.gov/environmental/indoors/air/carbon_monoxide_need_to_know.htm

That's why it's called the Silent Killer, Because by the time you realize something is wrong and your tired it's too late at that point. You fall asleep, Painlessly you die and slip out of your body. Life is so precious.

5RETURNED TO BODY

JOHN 20:31 (NLT)But these are written so that you may continue to believe that

Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of

his name.

After I came back to Life and I'm now back in my body here on earth I opened my eyes and heard the first responders banging on the garage door about to bust it down to get in to save me. Quick note, as I got home my mother called me and we spoke after I parked in the garage with the car engine running and door shut. About 10 minutes have passed and my mother said that she called a few times without me answering the phone I had

22

Flat Lined

in the garage. I guess while I was in and out of consciousness trying to fight falling asleep, I answered the phone while I was on the garage floor. I was able to reach the phone laying on the floor and as the phone fell to the ground, laying there speaking and slurring my speech as the CO has already taken over my red blood cells. Speaking to my mom and she sensed something was wrong in the spirit realm and after I hung up the phone with my mom, that was the last thing I remembered. Then I died. Being pulled downward I called out to God almighty to save me in the Name of Jesus save me. After saying that, The power pulling me down was released and I went back into my body. During all this is when She called 911 and told them my son's in trouble at home. So that's how the ambulance and police and fire trucks and the whole nine yards of calling 911 were there.

So I opened the garage door for them as I'm still coming to and it's been literally seconds since I came back to life. Only seconds since I opened my eyes again when I should have stayed dead then. Praise the most High God Almighty.

Only moments since calling to Jesus to save me while I was being pulled downward to hell was I opening the garage door to let them in. The paramedics walked me to the ambulance, then they started to drive with sirens and horns blaring. While driving me to the E.R. the paramedics were checking me out, givinge me oxygen and etc.

23

6TESTIMONY RECAPPED

I arrived at home and I used my remote garage door opener to open the garage door and I pulled in to the garage at home and shut the garage door behind me. When I put my car into park I used the same remote to shut the garage door behind me. I Parked inside the garage and my car's engine remains running, and the garage door shut. I am now inside the garage with Carbon Monoxide filling the air, Not thinking that when the car engine is running and with the garage door shut it would cause certain death, by carbon monoxide. It is a pain less death by just falling asleep and never waking up.

I wanted to work on my car in November Living in Toronto Ontario Canada, with the garage door closed to

keep it warmer inside. I purposely left the engine

24

Flat Lined

running In order to prevent the car Battery from draining, in order to listen to music while working on my truck, and I had a car Phone when they first came out in the late 80's. By keeping the engine running, for the purpose of my car's stereo / radio on without draining the battery. I totally forgot at the time that I could die from the scenario. I died, slipped into the next realm.

I called out to Jesus Christ as I was falling downward, falling down to hell. I called out to Jesus and said this:

“GOD, help me I don’t want to die, IN THE NAME OF JESUS SAVE ME; I DON’T WANT TO DIE. In the Name of

Jesus Christ".

Well as soon as I said “JESUS SAVE ME”, the power that was pulling me down was released and I started moving upwards, back towards my body towards the earth I started to glide or move very softly & gently upwards back towards my body. I noticed that as soon as I called out to Jesus in the next realm after I died, I was now heading north back into my body. I started to ascend upwards towards my body. I noticed the fear that was gripping me and getting stronger on the way down was now gone, Praise God. Peace came over me and I knew that everything will be okay now. I'm saved by the power of the name of Jesus. I'm gently and very Peacefully gliding back up to my body with my sight and sense's. Peace was engulfing me while still in the Blackness while I remained there Life less dead in my body.

Peace followed me back to my body. Praise God and Glory to the name of Jesus Christ.

25

Rod G. Portelli Jr.

INFACT, before I even finished the sentence. Before I even finished asking or saying “IN THE NAME OF JESUS SAVE ME”, before I finished saying the word “ME” the last word of my desperate prayer on my way to hell that power was released and I started going upward and that power that was pulling me downward with absolutely no control and nothing to grab onto to stop or even slow my descent down I was on my way up towards the earth and my body.

There was no stopping just one second I was being pulled down then after calling out to Jesus I was now on my way upward, with no stopping in between.

JOHN 20:28 (NLT) 31 But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name.

I called out to Jesus Christ as I was falling downward, falling down to hell. I called out to Jesus and said this:

“GOD, help me I don’t want to die, IN THE NAME OF JESUS SAVE ME; I DON’T WANT TO DIE. In the Name of Jesus Christ.

JOHN 20: 29-31 (AMP)

 29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, do you now believe? Blessed [happy, spiritually secure, and favored by God] are they who did not see [Me] and yet believed[in Me].”

PURPOSE OF WRITING THIS GOSPEL 30 There are also many other signs (attesting miracles) that Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these have been written so that you may believe [with a deep, abiding trust] that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), the Son of God; and that by believing [and trusting in and relying on Him] you may have life in His name.

A quote from, Smith Wigglesworth :

Wilt Thou Be Made Whole? "I believe the word of God is so powerful that it can transform any and every life. There is power in God's word to make that which does not appear to appear. There is executive power in the word that proceeds from His lips. The psalmist tells us, "He sent His word and healed them" (Ps. 107:20)...

7CHOOSE LIFE

Now, my only hope is that someone will learn from my story and be spared the experience I've gone through. Then my death experience will not have been in vain. I want my story to get out, to the world. Remember to call out to Jesus Christ to save you, Here and now on earth. Before you die, even when you pass away and die, Remember to call out to Jesus Christ to save you and He will. AMEN

sit on God's throne. So He cast them down to earth. God created man in his image. That Man can choose God and his ways and his word and choose Jesus Christ to come into their hearts and be saved. Lucifer is still working now what he started in Heaven so that God can never have this situation happen and never have this problem in Heaven arise again for all of eternity. After this is finished, we will go on in Eternity with God and then in Eternity something else might arise in Heaven in Eternity that God needs to address and take care of another situation. Then we humans and angels and Jesus will take care of it just like God took care of Lucifer's rebellion as in Revelations 12.

REVELATIONS 12:7-13 (NIV) 7 Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

The word of God says that the dragon, Lucifer after hurled down to earth he is pursuing us- mankind to continue gathering his own by deceiving you towards God and his word. It's still happening. Choose God chose

"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.

Heavenly Father, I am a sinner. Right now I confess that Jesus is Lord. I believe in my heart

that God raised Jesus from the dead, and is alive and seated in Heaven at your right hand. Lord

Jesus come into my heart and live in me and through me. I make you my lord and savior. Thank

you Father God that I am saved and born again right now. Thank you Jesus for dying for my sins and cleansing me from all unrighteousness. I am

saved, Thank you Jesus. Amen.

JESUS APPEARED TO ME IN A VISION,

WITH IN A DREAM

A year or so later living in a 3 bedroom house my mom owned after my parents split up, I was living there and dating Trish at the time well one night sleeping alone Jesus appeared to me in a vision with in a dream and it was in color and it was real. Jesus' hair was white when He first appeared to me in my dream then it turned to brown while His eyes were so unexplainable. Because Jesus' eyes was so loving and His eyes were so real. His eyes had Love in them and compassion and they looked into me not just at me. Then I woke up...

ROMANS 1:20 (NIV)

For since the creation of the world God's invisible and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what

has been made, so that men are without excuse.

What Almighty God is saying is, the creation of the world for us and his divine nature along with the word of God is all for us. Since we have all the evidence and the bible which is the word of God that became flesh, we really have no excuse. No excuse but a choice. God said in his word, I set before you life and death, choose life. God created this earth and us in His image to SET before us life and death, blessings and curses.

Choose Life, this is all a dividing period to finish what Lucifer started in Heaven.

DEUTERONOMY 30:19 (NIV)

This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and

curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live-

Choose Life, We are here on earth to choose God and Life. Rather than choosing Satan who was and is Lucifer, choose life. You choose life by living for God almighty. You choose life by accepting Jesus Christ into your heart as your lord and savior. Then your name will be written in the Lambs book for all of eternity. Amen.

A Prayer for the Ephesians

14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he

may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your

hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp

how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses

knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
