Scoffing at Prophecies

One cool evening, while gathering materials needed for evangelising, I asked a Pastor nearby to give me the witnessing books I had earlier lent to him. Excitedly, I continued on my present mission, praying for increase. The Pastor dashing by, managed to stop in his tracks for a few minutes in order to respond to my request. I was still staring at him excitedly, waiting to get the items when he looked me straight in the eye, saying: "I hope it's not those stories about hell!".
 You can imagine the burst in my bubbles. That didn't last long because I know that the devil does not want stories about hell told. Jesus talked about hell. Hell is real. The scriptures talk about hell.

Isn't it amazing that people will talk about anything else in life except that which matters the most? "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?" Matthew 16:26 NKJV And so, we see believers, christians, even ministers of God, making every excuse not to talk about hell.

The message of salvation is first and foremost (in my opinion), a message of love- For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son...- A message of love. God's eternal and everlasting love for man....but the verse continues:...that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish - A message of warning to turn from eternal damnation...which is hell and the lake of fire...and it still continues:...but have everlasting life - Yet, it ends with the proof of God's love and desire for His creation. John 3:16.

Many have testified of their divine encounters and when we listen to them, the Spirit of the Lord helps us to know through discernment, those who testify of Him. The focus is on the Lord Jesus. Do you really think the devil will testify of the Lord, encouraging you to obey Him and walk in Him in order to have eternal life in Him?!...Or do you think he would rather, you believed hell did not exist, so that in your ignorance, you reject the One Who died and gave Himself for you that you might live, and thus by rejecting Him (Jesus), you miss heaven and end up in hell??!!!...well, you be the judge. The Bible says "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6 NKJV

If we are not careful, we will find ourselves scoffing at prophecies, and the Bible warns us in 1 Thess 5:20-21 (NLT)
Do not scoff at prophecies, but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. Rather than scoff and jeer at those who have been blessed with such divine encounters, why don't we raise up our spiritual filters, asking the Holy Spirit to give us His discerning power, in order that we might as He says, test the spirits?!
You are either for Him or against Him. Be careful that you do not end up working against Him, while bearing His name. "Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall." 1 CorinthianS 10:12 NKJV

Eyewitness accounts:

The First Time I Went With Jesus to Hell 

Then Jesus said we should go to hell. In a twinkling of an eye we arrived in hell with the two accompanying angels. I cannot vividly describe hell and the sufferings of its occupants. The words to use to describe the nature of hell and the degree of the torments and sufferings of its victims are not available to man on earth. Besides my knowledge of the available vocabulary is so little that the effort I shall make to describe hell is as the effort one makes to ascertain the quantity of sand in the seashore by counting the grains. I have the same problem in describing the beauty of heaven. The horror of hell is great. What I saw in hell scared me. I lost my strength and fell down. I became more afraid of God. I heard the agonizing cries of the damned. I heard some, pleading in their torments, "Have mercy on us, Lord. Have mercy on us, Lord. Have mercy on us, Lord." This was their continual prayer.

Hebrews 10:31

"It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."

Life in hell is of great pity and horror. I saw people crying and gnashing their teeth.

Matthew 25:30

"And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Their faces looked older than their age because of their great torments and sufferings. I could see as if people were swimming inside the flames of hell. When hell roared and quaked, it took those in its surface down to its bottom vice versa. There are torments and sufferings in hell. I saw the burning flames of fire with people in it. I saw children, men, women; educated, uneducated, rich, poor, etc. They were crying and repenting. I heard cry coming from those who were in the depth of hell. I heard the cry of children, of the young and the old. I saw the way those in torments breathe. Their breathing was that of gasping for air as one in his dying moment. Some of them, due to their great cries, their tongues were lying outside like dogs. Some their eyeballs were as if they were falling from their sockets. Those in torments breathe in as if drawing their last breath. But this remains their state forever. Since there is no air in hell, what they breathe in and out is the burning flame of fire. The remembrance of the past privileges they had to accept the Saviour Jesus Christ which they ignored or rejected on earth, adds to their torment and sorrow. I saw them in great agony, gnashing their teeth. I saw that people were pressing themselves in hell. Hell through its quaking and roaring changes the positions of the occupants. Life in hell is of agony. The occupants are restless. Hell is in complete darkness. 

Satan's Plan to Destroy Me and This Message

Satan shouted and made different kinds of noise. The Lord made me to see how in response to Satan's call his demonic authorities on earth flew to hell for an emergency meeting. They all gathered before Satan in hell. Satan addressed them saying,

"That Righteous man has brought this young man all this while to hell so that he should see the horror, agony and sufferings of hell which men on earth are ignorant of. We must not take this for a joke. That Righteous man wants to send him to the world to tell them the indispensability of holiness for entrance into heaven, which many are ignorant of. There will then soon be a revival of holiness on the earth. I am realising that there shall soon be a revival of Holiness Movement in the world. People shall soon realize that it is only holiness that can take them to heaven. We must pursue this young man and overtake him. We must take the message out of his mouth and, if possible, we shall destroy his life."

Bill Wiese saw the searing flames of hell, felt total isolation, and experienced the putrid and rotting stench, deafening screams of agony, terrorizing demons, and finally, the strong hand of God lifting him out of the pit.
 "Tell them I am coming very, very soon!"
Wiese's visit to the devil's lair lasted just twenty-three minutes, but he returned with vivid details etched in his memory. Since this life-changing ordeal, he has spent the last seven years studying the Scriptures to find answers and has listed more than 150 Bible verses referencing hell.

Everyone is curious about the afterlife, and now Wiese shares his insights to commonly asked questions such as:
* Is hell a literal burning place?
* Where is hell?
* Do you have a body in hell?
* Are there Degrees of punishment in hell?
* Are there children in hell?
* Can Demons torment people in hell?
* Can "good" people go to hell?

"Even if you don't believe my story, I hope you will believe the Scriptures and avoid hell just the same."
