ANTJE HARTING OF FREEPORT, BAHAMAS.
THE CONVERSION OF A REBEL GIRL AFTER A VISIT TO HELL
Year 1985.
I will begin my testimony by talking about my parents’ conversion to the Pentecostal church, Christ Reigns. At the time of their conversions I was 12 and accompanied my parents to the church. At age 13 I decided to give my life to Jesus and began to sing in the church’s worship group. I was with my parents every day in the service. But I did not know what a sincere life was. He kept saying cool words and messing around at school with the girls. My parents did not testify at home and discussed television almost every day. My father loved to watch movies and my mother loves to read novels.
My parents were the example for my life. Everything they did at home in my perception was right. They said they knew what was right and what was wrong for me. If my parents had borne witness to true Christians, I would have been a true Christian by observing their way of life and wanting to learn. Those discussions of my parents to me were normal. I was already used to it and at school I did the same thing. I discussed television with the students of my class and argued with them everyday, despite being a believer.
One night I had a dream. A giant dove flew over my house. He said: I am not pleased with your way of life, put your house in order.
The next day I dreamed the same dream and I told my mother but she could not explain. On the third day I dreamed the same dream and I told my pastor. He said that the Holy Spirit wanted to use me and asked me to do repentance.
The church where I congregated is a ministry focused on praise and worship. Teaching is rare and the pastor is not one who takes holiness seriously. This was reflected in the lives of my parents and the whole church. Three years passed and I and my family still congregated in that church. There was no change in me and I did not feel a difference. I was one of those impious teenagers before I went to church. If I stopped going to church or stopped doing the work, the members and the pastor would call me devious. But the truth is that I never became a member of the church.
I was walking on the street and God used a woman who is not from my church. Where I congregated there were no people that were used by God that way. That woman came and said: God will make you His watchman.
I had served three years of ministry in the praise and worship group and did not know what conversion was. Now 16, the promises of God have come to me.
And that’s what happened, I heard a soft voice when I was in my room. I went to meet Jesus who was waiting for me and we entered hell.
SIN
I beheld in hell the prison system that looks like prison cells from the chains of the earth. Souls are tortured inside their cells. They are awaiting final judgment, living in painful torture. Jesus said,
“Servant, the sin of the world imprisons people. Whoever does not sacrifice the desires of the flesh, and does not kill the sin that is in the flesh, will come to that place. Tell the deviants who have fallen in the faith to reflect on their lives, analyze how long they have begun the journey, and see where they have gone wrong and fallen to begin again from where they left off.”
In the world there is much division between color, race, peoples, religions, rich, poor, tongues and there is no union between them. In My church there is no union to worship Me. Even hell plays its part of uniting poor with rich and all peoples, languages and religions. All are united in this place of torment.
LOVERS OF MONEY
I saw a rich man burning in the fire. The Lord Jesus told that man to tell Him why he was there. He said: My money held me in material things, the more I had the more I wanted to spend on luxury, pleasure and women. I did not have time to go to church because of the money that brought me well being. I was traveling the world and I never remembered God. Money was more important to me than Jesus. My money made me forget God and stopped my salvation. I preferred the transient wealth of the earth rather than the eternal heavenly riches. There is no hope for anyone descending to this place.
Jesus showed me people in hell who have deified their money and material possessions. I beheld people who had purchasing power on earth and influences such as presidents, judges, governors, kings, queens, emperors, bankers and businessmen. All these did not help the poor and when they died took nothing, leaving everything on earth. These were forgotten when they died. Both rich and poor in hell there is no superiority. All these men left their fortunes and their millionaire fortunes. And now everyone is in a place of eternal misery.
One shouted saying: I would give all my wealth on earth to live a miserable life there. I want to go back to earth and be the most despised person there than to stay in this place of torment. Let me go back to earth and be a garbage collector, but do not let me stay here. Tell the people of the earth not to go out of their way to help the poor.
Seeing that man begging to return to earth was so sad. They repented too late.
In hell there is no separation of classes between rich and poor. Everyone mingles in that place. I saw poor, rich, black, brown, white and brown all in one place. All religions, cultures and languages are in that place. People from the time of Abraham and from various times to the present day.
Jesus took me to a place in hell where I saw a beggar man. Jesus said, “I have sent my servant to this man. And every day he brought food and juice. The word was preached, but he did not want to give his life to Me and at dawn was found dead because of the cold. The blanket this man won was not enough to protect him from the cold. The beggar shouted and said: I do not deserve this place for living a miserable life on earth. I deserve the sky this is not fair. This beggar tried to justify himself that he did not deserve hell for living a poor and miserable life on earth.
FALSE CHRISTIANS
Jesus showed me Christians in hell in various types of prisons, that means they were not freed.
They have forgotten to sanctify their lives by looking at the faults of others.
They said: the shepherd’s wife does not sanctify, so we do not need to sanctify ourselves.
They knew it was a sin and yet they wanted to mirror their leaders.
When they were alive they said among themselves; I saw the pastor walking in shorts and a
sleeveless shirt, if it was a sin he would not walk like that until his daughter goes to the beach in a bikini.
The other group did not sanctify their lives and lived accusing and judging the wicked saying that they go to hell.
I saw a woman in hell who did not convert to Jesus for seeing defects in all the churches. She walked in a very liberal church and felt ashamed, for she said that the people did not convert because they were equal to those in the world. Then she went to a rigid church and could not stand the doctrine. She said it was man’s doctrine and did not need all that. She died without making a commitment to salvation. Time has passed, death has come and she is in hell.
Jesus showed me Christians in hell that instead of helping the deviants to return, they condemned them by making them move further from the path of Jesus. When the deviants left the church, these Christians spoke ill of them and criticized them. The hurt deviants never returned to the path of Jesus and promised never to step on their feet in any church.
Those Christians who did this are in hell.
FALSE SHEPHERDS
I beheld a shepherd in hell for tolerating sin in his church. He knew of the sin of the people, and yet he did not correct the flock. Jesus said that he touched his heart several times to preach holiness, but he resisted the Holy Spirit. He even used a servant to tell him to preach. He did not repent and did not listen, being rebellious until God’s patience reached the limit. Death touched him by choosing to walk in darkness rejecting the truth.
Lord Jesus showed me a shepherd in hell for cursing a Christian who left his church to be a member of another; we should not curse what God created that is his image.
MASTURBATION
I saw a girl in hell for masturbating, sometimes she manipulated objects for pleasure.
TATTOO
I saw a Christian tattooed on his body because he did not think it was a sin, the tattoo demon came out looking the same as the drawing and began to torture that boy in hell. The demon also had a tattoo and looked like a beast.
SATAN
Satan sat on his throne, he was elegant, but suddenly that good-looking cloak fell and turned into a horrible monster.
And when he looked at the Christians suffering in hell he gave an amazing laugh, he was happy. He told the demons, we’re winning the church, see my victory, look how many Christians are in that place, it’s our rewards.
The battle to take these souls was difficult, but we succeeded.
Satan commanded a terrible demon to go to church.
The goal is to bring that soul to hell.
An ugly demon of ten feet rose and went up to the earth.
SINS
Lord Jesus showed me Christians in hell by committing sins in secret without anyone knowing. This group of Christians hid the sins of their shepherds from being corrected. But they could not hide from God. Jesus showed me the earth, I saw thousands of eyes of fire scattered throughout the four corners of the world. Those eyes did not close and I was watching. Jesus said, “The eyes of God are all over the earth, and nothing can be hid from me.” The people and laws of the land are unjust. Innocents pay for crimes for lack of evidence, but the law of God is just and your measure is right.
FALSE PROPHETS AND FOUNDERS OF SECTS
Jesus showed me the place of false prophets and founders of sects. And on the other side of these founders I saw millions of people whom they brought to hell because of their sects. These people cursed the founders of the sects for throwing them into hell.
ELLEN G. WHITE
I saw in hell the prophetess Ellen White. Jesus said: she is here in this place for inventing heresies. She prophesied lies and still had connections with the Satanists who helped her ministry grow. She also taught her members to keep the Sabbath, stepping on My grace. Whoever wants to live in the law who never sinned is what I was sacrificed for. Whoever chooses to live in the law will have to save himself for it without committing any sin like Me. All the sects that reject My grace tear the contract of the new covenant. Whoever lives on the contract of the old covenant will be cursed and go to hell. This woman who is watching, she lied saying there is no hell and now she is in it.
The seed that this woman planted in the past still produces disgrace and loss to those who believe in her teachings. I saw how the demons tormented that woman. The more souls went down to hell because of her teaching, the more she was tormented.
From the foundation of his sect until now millions of souls are coming to hell. Jesus said, “Testify for more souls that they may come to salvation and ascend into heaven.”
HEAVEN
I was in a beautiful field full of flowers. A beautiful paradise with a splendidly colorful and gleaming landscape.
A full city walled with pure and fine gold.
Fantastic heavenly architecture, what the wicked would do to live in that place.
The angel came to me and Jesus left us alone.
BOOK OF LIFE
Another angel came with a book in his hand and stopped in front. The angel opened the book and showed the date that I converted, but my name was erased by not living a life according to God’s will.
The angel took another different book that is that of condemnation. And when I saw my name there I started to cry. The angel said: All the names that are written in that book will not inherit eternal
life.
I wanted very much to live in that place, but my condition of life would not allow me to be unworthy to stay there. The angel told me that I looked at the life of others and did not see the defects of my life.
The angel said: It’s time to look at your life and see how it stands before God. A mirror of gold, whose glass does not exist on earth and shines. That spiritual mirror appeared before me and revealed all my sins.
My face was full of wrinkles, my appearance was of an old woman. I wanted to remove those wrinkles to improve my appearance, I was worried because I was only 16 years old. The angel said: “Do not worry; these are the marks of the imperfection of sin. Although you are young your spirit is old, and is already getting to die. If not born again you will die, and your life limit is ending. The wages of sin is death. These wrinkles are the sin of pride, selfishness, lack of love for God and the wickedness that is in your heart. You consider yourself perfect, you do not accept correction, and you do not correct yourself. You are waiting for God to correct you, do not let this occasion of feeling the divine touch touch your life.
I said to the angel, “I’m so young to die, yet I’ll die earlier than my parents.”
The angel said: “For God the age on earth means nothing. Your life span is measured in heaven. Your spiritual appearance is of an elderly woman who is almost dying.”
I did not accept church people to praise other people who are better than me. And when God’s servants visited my church, people spoke well of them, envy made me say that they were not as used as they seemed. The devil used me to ridicule the servants of God, putting defects where they did not.
I never qualified the people God used, the envy of wanting to be equal these people sprang into my heart. I did not admit the reality of seeing people being used; I did not accept this situation. Deep in my heart I knew I did not have the privilege of being like them. It corroded inside me, I was proud and I did not accept to be the worst of them all.
The angel made me know my faults, I repented of everything. He preached to me the true doctrine that a servant of God must know. These were teachings in my church that never spoke.
The angel said, “Now go back to the earth.” When he finished saying that word my spirit was in my body, I lifted from the ground.
- saw the woman who brought me the prophecy and told her I would change my life. The conversion came to me for the first time after 3 years of church. That woman said goodbye to me and left. She was a person sent by God who made me understand what God wanted from me.
- went to church and told my pastor about my experience. He was offended when I said that the whole church was in sin. The entire congregation began to persecute me. I was humiliated they said that I wanted to be too holy. The pastor said that I was in delirium and heresy to destroy the ministry.
- looked at the face of the shepherd with hatred, his face transfigured into the face of a horrible monster. When I looked at the whole church, their faces were monsters. The Holy Spirit spoke in my mind, they have lost the image and likeness of God and have assumed the face and likeness of
their master for whom they serve.
The pastor took me out of the worship group, I could no longer sing. No one else spoke to me, I was being despised by everyone, I was the stranger among the people. I returned to the house and my parents who gathered in my ministry said that I should not have spoken my experiences and rebuked me. I told my parents, “Who would they believe, in me or the pastor?
My mother said, “Daughter, you have undergone such a beautiful spiritual change, you are no longer a rebellious girl with your parents. Because of your change I will believe in you not the pastor.”
My father said that the pastor is the authority of the church and that we can not rebel with those whom God anointed to be authority on earth. Because of your change I will believe in you not the pastor.
My father said, “If the pastor is wrong, God will show me.” That same night, my father dreamed of the whole church. The pastor preached in the pulpit and everything was dark, lacking energy. My father looked to the side where I was sitting and a light was on top of my head. When that light touched my head, my body shone all over like the star. My body climbed over the ceiling and disappeared. The whole church was terrified and said Jesus had come and they were left behind. He has already snatched His chosen ones.
My father woke up scared, hugged me and apologized to me. The pastor excluded me from his church. I prayed to God and asked him to show me a church that speaks of the truth that was revealed to me.
God prepared a serious church for me and my family.
Years passed and my parents grew old, I got a good age to marry.
I was engaged to a man of God and had to travel and leave my parents to live with him.
The wedding was marked, my fiancé’s father had given him a gift home that would be our home.
My parents are of advanced ages and alone with no one to care for.
I had to make a decision to take care of them or get married and leave to live a happy life.
I could not take them with me and any decision I made would have to give someone up which would bring a pain in the soul.
I chose not to marry which was my dream despite loving my fiancé.
I could not leave my parents to have no weight on my conscience that would cause a wound in me.
My parents were sick and walked very slowly.
I have to fill the void of sorrow filling up with Holy Spirit, since I had lost a man of God.
I learned to live with the thorns of the road.
I faced the opposition for Jesus’ sake, I won young people for Jesus who lived in prostitution, in the
vice of alcohol and tobacco.
I was preaching the word of God and I had a revelation from a girl who wanted to stop attending the services and leaving the church because of her friends who spoke ill of her.
I asked the girl, “Is there another church near your house?”
She replied, “No, there is only this church.”
I said: “Do not leave, only pray and God will operate.”
A few days passed and her friends stopped chasing after her and walking away, leaving the girl alone.
We should never lay the hand of the plow because of someone’s faults, they are all flawed.
Any church, company, school or place will encounter problems.
What we find today is the leadership of the church valuing each other and we do not have to get used to these failures.
Others to draw attention do something to be seen by everyone within the church.
Workers leave the church because they feel jealous of the pastor and others for not receiving the opportunity leave also, this should not happen.
I saw two believers arguing.
One said, I’m not going to church any more so I do not see the face of this person any more.
The other replied: I will no longer congregate in the church, there is no more climate for me to stay in that place.
I have seen all this through the churches where I am going to preach, I am not a preacher, just a servant who does the will of God that is to preach the gospel to all.
People disagree and forget that Jesus does not like it.
Many Christians seek trouble for their lives, through their attitudes, decisions and practices without Jesus’ direction.
I close my testimony, may God bless the church Amen.
