主耶稣的道路是永生的，亲爱的朋友们，相信耶稣的话语，他领导你，向着他的旨意去吧!

上帝祝福的一家：冯凯、敉宁夫妇及他们的4个孩子

提到基督徒餐饮行业，很多人会想到冯凯、敉宁夫妇。他们因为按照圣经的教导经营餐饮行业而蒙受神莫大的祝福，除了努力的帮助很多教会、神学院等福音工作之外，他们也积极参与支援汶川地震等社会公益事业。他们用各种途径将福音的好消息传达给世人，带领很多人来到上帝的面前。因着高举基督作为一家之主，他们拥有着幸福的婚姻与和睦的家庭。近日，敉宁姐妹借去深圳参加一个婚礼之际，在深圳的基督徒企业家聚会上分享了神对他们的侍奉和夫妻关系的带领，上帝奇妙的恩典彰显在这个家庭，全场为之感动，仰望圣城博客上分享了敉宁姐妹的见证视频。



上帝奇妙带领二人结成连理 母送圣经夫妻归向基督



敉宁：以前我家是信佛的，1988年的时候，我们家经历了很大的灾难，妈妈很痛苦，精神有些恍惚，觉得为什么我这样虔诚的信佛却要经受如此的苦难呢？我自己里面也是受到很大挫折，对人生有些迷茫。原本做护士的我因为怕血，所以很难在医院里工作下去，辞掉护士工作后我去了一家香港人在沈阳开的酒店打工，在那里我认识了我的丈夫冯凯。



当时我们工作的那个香港酒店生意很好，所以当地的黑社会集团常常逼迫那个香港老板，最后他有些承受不住了，所以就把那个酒店外包给我们俩。那时我们还没有谈恋爱，老板之所以把酒店外包给我们，除了工作认真之外的一个原因就是，他总是看到我们两个吵架，所以他觉得如果有什么问题的话，我们一定会向他报告。没想到我们因为有了共同的利益，所以从敌对变成了团结，最后老板就把这个酒店卖给了我们。



其实刚开始见面的时候我们彼此之间没有什么感觉，因为当时他有女朋友，我有男朋友，而且因为都是刚入职场的年轻人，所以我们之间常常有一些摩擦和争执，总是想要显示自己比对方强。后来神奇妙的带领，他和女朋友分手了，我和男朋友也没有走到一起，我们两个却慢慢的发现了彼此身上的优点开始有了好感。有一天我妈妈来看我，问我有没有男朋友，我说没有，可是冯凯不知道从哪里得到消息说我父母来了，他就跑去见我父母，很有礼貌的叫“伯父、伯母”，当时我爸妈就认准他了，确信他就是未来的女婿。



我们的关系定下来之后，后来信主改变的-我妈妈就拿了一本很大的圣经送给我们，她说：“我也没有什么礼物可以给你们，我刚刚接受了福音，我觉得耶稣基督是世界上最好的礼物，所以我把福音送给你们，希望你们能够得到这份祝福”。我们那时对福音一无所知，但是还是出于孝敬接受了那本《圣经》。冯凯把那本圣经带回了他的宿舍，晚上的时候他翻着看，翻到了箴言书第一章，读着读着他就被圣灵感动，眼泪一直往下流，他看了一夜，眼泪流了一夜，圣灵一下抓住了他的心。



军人家庭出身的冯凯家教很严，父亲希望他可以继承自己在军队里面的工作，对于他要出去寻求人生道路的做法父亲非常不理解，为此父子关系差点断掉。他说，我到沈阳来就是为了找爱情、找友情，找我人生的价值，我问谁，谁都不告诉我，可是今天我在《圣经》里面找到了答案。他非常兴奋的拿着圣经对我讲，我终于找到了我人生的价值和意义。我当时的焦点还是要赚钱，所以对他说的非常不认同。



带着信心奉献 神大大祝福手上的经营

成为教会长老的冯凯-代表基督徒商人发言
敉宁：后来我们结婚了，开始经营自己的企业，那时我们没有太多的运营资金。1992年神差派一个朋友，主动借给我们46万，连借条都没有写，最奇妙的是这个人我们后来就再也没有见过，就这样我们开始餐饮行业。

1992年，东北的教会很少，福音并不复兴，但冯凯对信仰一直很热心，他一有时间就翻圣经、读圣经，靠着圣经生活，听一些他就照着做一些。我当时虽然还是 忙于赚钱，但是心里也开始慢慢接受福音。后来临近春节的一天，一个长老和一个教师找到我们说，“我们打算建教堂，你们可不可以做一些奉献？”

我们当时对奉献完全没有概念。我们手里有3万块钱，准备给员工发工资、春节回家看望老人还有第 一个孩子的生产费（因为当时大儿子快出生了）。钱对我们来说是很重要的，可是那个长老和教师就说需要3万块钱，我和冯凯相互对视了一下，心里想：“怎么可 能这么准呢？我们就只有3万块钱啊！是谁告诉他们我们现在有3万块钱呢？”我们俩都没有说话，但是心里还是有一种感动，趁他们吃饭的时候我们回到办公室， 商量一下该怎么办，最后决定祷告看看神是什么旨意，祷告完之后我们两个得到相同的感动——将3万块钱完全奉献，我们就带着很单纯的信心将3万块钱都奉献 了。

其实那时我们的生意并不太好，但是我们凭着对餐饮行业的热情，到处搜集经验，慢慢打拼，生意渐渐好转，最后变得非常好，以至于外面等餐的人排了长长的队 伍，里面的客人还没有吃完饭，外面下起大雨来的时候，这边的客人就主动打包带走，说给等在外面的顾客让座位。因着上帝的恩典，客人和我们之间形成了非常美 好的关系，是上帝带领他们对我们的认可和爱。

做了一年多的时候，我们祷告后就很想把酒店扩大，做一种民俗饮食文化，因为我很喜欢文化，一直都希望做一个具有某种文化特色的餐厅。当时冯凯家乡有一个很 大的房子（军区的），想以很低的价格租给我们，他离开家的时候跟家人有一个承诺，不向家人要一分钱，当时我们只有10万，有朋友主动借给我们8万（95年 的时候），东拼西凑之后总共有26万，然后就开始了2000平米的装修。

1994-1995年是中国第一次经济复兴的时候，物价大幅上升，那时的装饰材料比今天还贵。我负责装修，装修的时候，因为很想做到最好，觉得不合适就拆掉，浪费了很多钱，最后账单算下来总计花了200万，可是其实我们只有26万，那剩下的钱哪来的呢？我们也不知道怎么回事根本没有欠债，用26万完成了200万的装修，真的是神迹，神喜欢不和他计较的人，他喜欢带着单纯的信心跟随他的人，这是我们第一次在钱上经历神迹。

还有就是我们装修的时候是冬天，沈阳的冬天基本没有不下雪的，可是当时我们就带着员工祷告说，“神啊，祈求您不要下雪，等我们瓷砖贴好之后再下，那一年很奇妙，一直都没有下雪，直到我们一切都准备好了，12月25日，圣诞节那天开业的时候才下了第一场雪。”

上帝奇妙的手阻止了那颗炸弹

敉宁：因为生意很好，所以有人想要勒索我们，有一天前台经理收到一封匿名信，送信的人让他给冯凯，他觉得有些不对劲， 赶快去找冯凯，刚好冯凯推门进来，他很镇定的打开那封信，信是用左手写的，里面说让我们把钱放到一个地方，如果不送的话，在酒店里有3个炸弹会同时爆炸。 冯凯没说什么，直接就去了派出所我们离派出所非常近，所长跟他的关系特别好，问他“来了,给我们送什么来了？”，他说“炸弹”，吓得派出所的人都跑出去 了，问，“你怎么把炸弹送到这里来了？”，他说“我不送这里送哪里去了，你们要给我解决。”

当时他们刚花300万买了一个防爆的装置，就把搜出来的那个炸弹扔进去，等着它爆炸，可以等了好久也没有爆炸。找另外2颗一直没有找到。防爆专家研究那颗 炸弹的时候说，做这个炸弹的人非常专业，他肯定是军人，因为里面有7跟雷管，爆炸的话肯定整个酒店会被炸的粉碎，可是为什么没爆炸呢？原来就在距离爆炸一 分钟的时候电池没有电了。我们确信是神的手阻止了这次爆炸，因为这件事派出所的所长信主了。

患难中学习顺服神的功课

敉宁：神在我们身上有这么多的作为，人的骄傲就来了。我们做的越来越成功，拥有了很多财产、房产，然后开始变得有些骄傲，开始远离神。98年，99年的时候冯凯跟我说我们总共奉献了580万，我听了之后没有变的刚强反而软弱了，然后我就说我们先把外债还完了，然后再十一奉献了，我那时候就已经开始算计了。

那时教会的长老来找冯凯，建议他读神学，他说，我也不知道自己是否适合读神学，但是既然神的仆人这样说，我就去读吧。只要心对了，事就对了。冯凯去读了南京神学院，我在家里当起了掌柜。这期间一个员工的父亲去世了，我们在去看望他们的路上却发生了车祸，车上的人（除了司机）都受了伤，医疗费花了很多钱，远远超过我们应该做的十一奉献。我当时马上向神悔改，从此好好做奉献，这是我这一生当中永远都不会忘记的一个教训。我到现在都一直跟我的孩子说，奉献有多么重要，你们的父母就是从奉献中得到神的祝福的。从这件事上我明白了，当我们经历患难的时候，不是神的咒诅，神就是爱，这是永不改变的，是我们远离了祝福，所以神要拉我们回到祝福的道路上来。

东北神学院建设中经历神的恩典

敉宁：1998年在棋盘山我们曾经买下了一块300亩的地，当时是被人骗过去的，当时每亩的价格是1,5000，现在的价格是每亩60万，这是神在为我们储备资金。当时那块地的旁边有一个很高的山，买的时候就想，如果在这里建一个教堂多好啊。

2009年初，东北神学院因为学校设备非常差，房子基本上都是危房，安全部门要求他们必须搬走，他们当时换了一个新的校长，这个校长就跟学生们说，大家祷 告，冯凯有地，祈求神让他奉献。后来他们问他说，我们想用这个地来建神学院行吗？冯凯说，“行啊，我的生命就是神的，我为神家里做事情，有什么不行呢？”

虽然我们愿意奉献，但是审批的过程很复杂，还要更换户主神却通过一个我们根本无法想象的方法成就了这件事。有 一个信佛的人，他在规划局工作，跟冯凯认识了10年，对他的人品非常认可，对他的信仰很不认可。在神学院的人问冯凯之前，他就跟别人打赌说，如果冯凯真的 奉献这块地的话，我就相信这个世界真有神，如果没有神的话，这个人就是疯了。当冯凯答应奉献之后，他担心冯凯反悔，所以积极的帮助审批的工作，神就藉着这 个佛教徒批下来了这块地。

要建的东北神学院是要容纳2000名学生的，可是那块地没有水源，这就成为很大的问题。我们就为这件事祷告，有一天，冯凯去那块地立项目，那个佛教徒对冯 凯说，你不是把那块地奉献给神学院了嘛？我要把清河源的水引到那块地上去，让那块地不断的升值，让你后悔，现在每亩是60万，我要让它升到100万，让你 后悔。他的目的很明确，就是要让冯凯知道自己失去了多少财富。那个佛教徒所做的，却是他们天天祷告所要的。感谢主，冯凯在心里赞美神，依靠万军之耶和华是多么有力量，神叫万事互相效力，叫爱神的人得益处。

婚姻里的争战

敉宁：冯凯是创业型的，我是守业型的，但是两个人都精力特别旺盛，什么事情都想做，所以彼此之间也常常吵架。冯凯出国 的话，我就会打电话安排人，送鲜花，给他一个惊喜。我去哪里的话，他也会给我一个惊喜，我们就属于总是想给对方惊喜的人，但是这个惊喜不是出于爱，而是想 证明我比对方强。开始争这个企业谁功劳大，彼此之间谁也不服谁。

后来有一个经商的姐妹，和我们一起做商人团契，她的企业经历了很大的危机，她告诉我说，我现在什么都不想做，我就想到深山老林里隐居起来，有些忧郁症。我 就跟冯凯说，这个姐妹出问题了，我们得帮助她。冯凯说，好啊。我们就邀请她参加我们的周三团契。本来是要帮助别人的，结果那天我和冯凯打起来了，打得不可 开交，要闹离婚。然后我们就分居了，孩子问，妈妈，你和爸爸怎么不住在一起呢？我敷衍说，为了祷告方便。冯凯还是希望和好，但是我还是固执地不想和解。
起来为主做事  夫妻关系开始和睦

敉宁：神就是这样奇妙，因为四川地震和建东北神学院的事情，我们夫妻之间的关系也变好了。因为他在向着神的方向走的时候，我看到了神赐予男人的责任、敢于承担重担和使命的心，让我对丈夫有了更多的尊敬和敬重。以 前我听到一个姐妹说，如果有来生，我还要嫁给我老公。我当时听了非常反感，觉得这个姐妹太没有骨气了。但是自从四川地震和建东北神学院之后，神把对丈夫的 爱和牵挂全放在我的心里，我每天为他祷告，后来我觉得我一个人祷告力量太小，就召集一大批姐妹们每天早上6:30到我家祷告，我每天早上6:00带着孩子 们为爸爸祷告，每次冯凯从外面回来虽然很累，但是总是说，感谢主，又有什么样的神的恩典，我能感觉到你为我祷告的力量，因为今天做的事情，说的话，根本就 不是我自己可以做到的，他自己可以很清楚的感觉到圣灵在他身上的工作，我们的感情越来越好。

以前我曾经对一个姐妹说，爱情不是一直都那么美好，当生活在一起的时间长了，四目以对的时候都会看到对方的眼屎和皱纹，但是当你抬头仰望主的十字架的时 候，你看到的是未来荣美的家乡，为了那个美好的家乡，我们没有时间在一起打仗，没有时间在一起纷争，争谁强谁弱，夫妻彼此之间的感情是非常真诚的。

我不想说我们的生意有多大，资产有多少，因为这是上帝的，我不去清算和数点。但是我知道当我们夫妻之间和睦的时候，就是我们的事业、家庭、信仰都蒙神祝福 的时候。如果夫妻之间不和怎么办？起来，为主做事，我相信一件事，就是你的心对，你所做的事情一定是对的；人不在于有多少钱，心穷，万穷，如果一个人拥有 万贯家财，但是每天担心钱没有了，每天生活在担心和忧虑中，成为钱的奴仆，那他的心是贫穷的，他的一切都会成为贫穷的；一个人即使没有多少钱，但是如果心 是富有的，做什么事情都是平安快乐的。

如果有人在承受着很大的经济的压力，请你一定要来到上帝的面前，因为这个世界是上帝创造的，他的目的是什么？就是要把所创造的世界万物给他的儿女，你如果 得不着是因为你没有盯在神上。如果你的眼睛盯着神，钱会跟着你走，如果你的眼睛盯着钱，你只能成为钱的奴隶。我丈夫一周7天忙于教会的事，我一周6天忙于 教会的事，但是我们酒店的经理人都是非常忠心的仆人，有一天冯凯非常感动，想要把企业80%的利润给他们，留下20%给企业，可是他们不同意，他们说如果 那样的话，企业怎么运转呢？最后他们达成协议，70%给他们，30%留给企业，因为他们看到了我们因为奉献得到的上帝的祝福，所以他们也希望把自己的人生 和财富奉献在有意义的事情上。

神的道是活泼的，主的轭是轻省的。为什么有时候我们的生活不是活泼的，也不是轻省的呢？是因为我们自己偏离了神的道，这个时候需要来到神的面前，去静静的 思考。走过这么多年信仰的道路，我总结出三条原则并且用这些教导我的孩子：再忙也要去教会；再穷也要奉献；再困也要早祷。

婚姻三部曲

敉宁：我们的婚姻经历了3个阶段。第一个阶段是，心不服口不服；第二个阶段，口服心不服；第三个阶段，心服口也服，起 来做神的工作的时候，我不是服冯凯这个人，而是服他背后的耶稣。耶稣的爱让我们不能说不走这条顺服的道路，妻子顺服的时候，丈夫也在改变，不再像以前一样 大男子主义，他的心慢慢变得柔软，我的心也慢慢变得柔软。正是因为我们夫妻的改变，孩子也在慢慢改变。我的小儿子是一个很聪明但是没有自信的孩子，他的体 质很不好，但是爸爸常常拥抱他，说，儿子，我爱你，现在他也变得非常自信。孩子们之间也非常和睦。这个世界上不存在完美的家庭，因为人没有一个完美的，2 个不完美的人走在一起，不可能建立一个不完美的家庭。可是如果你们认识上帝，你们走的路是一样的，你们的生活就会越来越美好。上帝所赐给我们的福并不加上忧虑，我最后奉劝弟兄姐妹们，当你遇到很大的苦难的时候不要害怕，因为你只有经历这个你才能知道神的属性，神的力量，他关注你每个动作，关注你每个表情。

人算不如天算

李司棋

一九九七年是香港回归中国的大日子。打从八十年代，香港就涌现一波又一波的移民潮。我是这浪潮中的一员。为了孩子的前途，为了我们家庭的幸福，我在一九八四年只身留在冰天雪地的多伦多“坐移民监”。

晴天霹雳

当时我和丈夫的感情融洽。离开香港前，母亲曾忠告我说：“你怎能这么放心呢？夫妻不应分开的。”我说：“我们夫妻感情的基础和信任，您是无法明白的。”终于，我在一九八九年办妥了入籍手续，打算回港与家人团聚。不料接到丈夫的来信，说：“你不用回来陪我了。我已习惯了独自生活。你不在身旁更好。请不要误会，我们之间没有第三者。”

后来才知道，事实上有第三者出现。我气极了，思想很混乱，不知如何是好。于是开始第一次算命。我想：人生怎能这样不公平？莫非是命吗？怎么我为了家庭，一个人跑到严寒的多伦多，孤零零地生活几年。现在要回家，不但这个家已经破碎，失去了丈夫，连女儿也失去了？当初若不是为了这家，我何必苦守异邦，等一个移民护照？当时的感觉有如天塌了下来，心中有莫名恐惧。彷佛前面还有更大的灾难接踵而至。我撑不下去了，不知道前面的路怎么走，所以频频算命，盼望获得指点迷津。

迷上算命

我爱上了算命，因为相士总有现成答案。对于惶惑的人来说，这十分重要一一总比茫茫然不知所措好。有时相士说中了我的心事，就倍觉窝心。例如相士说：“你今年运程很好，做什么都成功。”这话对我来说，不光是安慰和鼓舞而已；因为相士岂不是能知过去未来吗？他既这么说，那我就知道该怎么做了。于是就下重本做生意、投资一一结果多半都以失败收场。

无论如何，算命最受用的地方就是即时有答案，虽然答案多半是错的。但旁徨的人多不理性，最要紧的是有答案，因为害怕旁徨无助。我们想走出来，我们不愿意再等，希望得到立时的答案。

一九九五年，我在香港拍电视剧“真情”，有些同事也很喜欢算命。于是跟他们来往甚密，一起去看风水、算命，互相介绍相士。当时，有不少人邀请我去教堂，但我觉得不大适合。我想：我这么忙，哪能抽空上教堂？

一九九六、一九九七年间，妹妹买了一间新房子。将迁入时，我认识了一位公认算命很准确的风水先生，于是建议让他看看这新房子。他看过房子，又替妹妹看命盘，之后对我说：“很麻烦！你妹妹的命盘显示，她过不了这两年，而且这房子不适宜他们夫妇住。她的病源在血液，医生也无法治好，除非求助神灵。”

妹妹小我三岁，我们感情好得像双胞胎一样，常在一起。小时候我觉得她好麻烦，我行动快，思想快，活泼好动，很多主意；她却被动，凡事慢吞吞的，一天到晚跟著我。后来才知道她尊敬我，对我始终如一，我有需要，她随时效劳，是个很好的妹妹。当时我们人生都没有了方向，只知道去算命。妹妹更拜黄大仙求签。听了相士的话后，我们都害怕不已，不知如何是好。

主寻找我

那段日子，妹妹的血液真的有点问题。我担心极了！有一天，我心绪不宁，睡前跟她通电话说：“我想，现在应该是我们认真思想信仰问题的时候了，反正之前你我都很疲累。既然风水先生这么说，不如约一天出去饮茶，好好谈一下我们应信什么？总不能拜拜黄大仙就算了。”

那晚心里七上八下，迷迷糊糊地睡著了。平常我得靠闹钟唤醒，有时关掉闹钟再睡，这是我的老毛病。然而那天醒来，没有睡意。看看闹钟，已是早上九时正了。这时电话铃声响起，对方说她是刘达芳教授。刘达芳教授？这名字好像满熟呢！

我记起来了，我在一九九三年间往上海跑了一趟，和朋友合股开办化装品工厂。那时认识了一位传教士，他本是医生，但献身全时间事奉上帝，又在西安办神学院。之后，这位卢医生每次经香港都找我，劝我信耶稣。有一次我很不客气地说：“你不用再劝我了。我现在很喜欢算命、看风水，主不会喜欢我的，见了我也会双眉深锁呢！再说，我也不会信主。”他说：“你不要这么说，主耶稣连杀人犯也宽恕，怎会不要你，不喜欢你呢？这些事你不要看得那么紧张。以后不要再算命了，算命是骗人的。如果日后你在生活上遇到什么问题，有什么困扰，在香港找刘达芳教授谈谈吧！她有爱心，可以照顾你。”可是我一直没联络刘达芳。事过两三年后，就渐渐淡忘了。

那天她忽然来电，我感到很奇怪。刘教授说：“李司棋，真不好意思，我很忙，没时间看电视。一年多前，卢医生把你的电话号码给我。我不认识你。我问儿子，他们指著电视机说：‘哪，她在演电视剧呢！’我一直对你的印象模糊。但昨晚整夜梦见你。我相信是上帝感动我看看你近况如何。你有什么需要吗？有什么事情发生吗？能否抽空到我的办公室谈谈呢？”

我的心跳得很厉害。太神奇了！昨天夜里，我才想，是时候考虑信仰问题了，怎的今天一睁开眼睛，上帝便伸出手来唤我？我怔怔地说不出话来，感觉上帝很真，很近，心里有说不出的感激。

那天，我在刘教授的办公室谈了很久。她给我分享很多见证，劝我去教会，亲近上帝，读圣经。我接受上帝邀请，于一九九七年九月十五日决志信耶稣，二千零一年受洗，归入基督的名下。

人算之误

回头说我的妹妹，风水先生的话没有应验，她没有大病，只是些伤风咳嗽等小毛病，一家三口生活安定，愈来愈好。

倒是我，曾获相士批赠事事如意，有贵人相助发达等，之后却不停进出医院，甚至影响工作。现在回想起来，觉得当时真傻，怎么就相信这些江湖术士之言，还花钱请人算命，却不相信创造宇宙万物的主宰！

其实我小时候是听过耶稣的，但没有把他放在心里。长大后照照镜子，觉得自己满漂亮的。参加选美后，更在香港无线电视台做当家花旦。年轻时便事业平步青云，从心所欲，发展顺利。我自以为可以拥有世上的一切，不觉得需要耶稣。后来更跟了丈夫的论调，说世界上没有神也没有鬼。于是胆子越来越大，无论多黑的地方也不害怕，事事靠自己，也不觉辛苦。就这样，我碰得焦头烂额，跌到心都破碎了。幸而天父慈爱，没有放弃我。他仍在寻我，直到我归回他的羊圈。

新生样式

娱乐圈五光十色，艺人遇到的诱惑更大。基督徒艺人要见证耶稣，不能什么角色都接。但是身在圈中，若动辄拒绝接受这个、那个角色，就很难继续生存下去，所以很多时候不易取舍。记得一九九九年拍完“真情”后，就接获一部戏约，那编剧很喜欢我演戏。写完剧本，就跟我通了个电话，问我会不会接拍？我说：“会的，会的。”他说：“我很用心写了这一角色，很适合你演。”后来我知道要扮女鬼，想了好一段时间，总觉得基督徒做这类角色不大好，就推掉了。艺人有很多意想不到的试探和引诱，常要心志坚定。我觉得做艺人不易，做基督徒艺人就更难了。

信耶稣后，我有很大改变。以前总是脚步快，行动快。天下第一大事是赚钱，人生最重要的是丈夫和女儿。可是，钱会失去，人的感情不但会变化，而且还会消失得无影无踪！我现在才知道，人凭自己的力量拼命钻营，不但疲累，而且浪费感情、精力、时间。像跑狗场上的狗，一直追著电兔，可是总追不上。很多人到死，仍旧在追，也仍追不到他们所希望得到的，又不知道为什么要追。我发觉人所追求的，往往都是一些虚空没有价值的东西。可惜，我们自己不知道，反视之如珍如宝。追不到，就忐忑不安，心有不甘。信耶稣以后，上帝赐我从天上来的智慧，我开始明白了，人生最有意义和最快乐的事，莫如遵行上帝的旨意，效法主，把他的爱分给世上的人。我渐渐体会，施比受更为有福。付出的人比接受的人更有满足感。一个人拥有物质的快乐，远不如心中有上帝的快乐；拥有财物的满足，远不如与人分享的满足。现在我学习将一切事情交托主，不再为明天忧虑，人自然轻松多了！

以前别人劝我信耶稣，我总自作聪明地想：“为什么这么愚蠢呢？等到年老，生病或临终时才信，主耶稣仍让我上天堂。那就不用那么早就浪费时间。”原来我错了，不及早信耶稣才是浪费时间、生命。信耶稣后，与上帝和好，除去人与人之间的冤仇，心里有平安、喜乐，那该多好！我感谢天父，一切全是恩典，这些都不是我努力找回来的，是天父来寻我。

GOD DOES NOT ACCEPT BRIBES 神不接受贿赂

“Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless . . . [and] the widow.” - Isaiah 1:17

「寻求公平，解救受欺压的，给孤儿（和）寡妇伸冤…。」 - 赛1:17

The sins of Judah were beginning to resemble those of Sodom and Gomorrah. God’s people didn’t understand the holy will of their God. Injustice against the weak and vulnerable was becoming rampant. God’s people thought they could make up for their sinful actions and appease God’s holiness by sacrificing animals and doing other religious rituals. But they continued in their evil ways of injustice and oppression against weak and vulnerable people. The society had become dominated by rich powerbrokers who thought nothing of accumulating wealth and gaining more clout over the poor and powerless. In addition, the judges and religious leaders did not condemn them but instead enjoyed their generous bribes and elaborate parties.

But those who are being trampled under the heel of oppression have God on their side. God doesn’t accept bribes. He doesn’t run a court open to bribery. And God expects nothing less of his people. Addressing the leaders of Judah, the prophet Isaiah said, “Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.”

That is our calling still today. Our practice of compassion and justice anticipates the day when the Lord himself will come in person to “give decisions for the poor of the earth” (Isaiah 11:4).

犹大的罪开始恶化，变得与所多玛和蛾摩拉不相上下。神的子民不明白神圣洁的旨意，不公平对待软弱与无助之人的事，愈来愈猖獗。神的子民以为他们可以藉献上牲畜和守宗教规条，来补偿自己的罪行和满足神的圣洁，因而他们继续行在这些不公义和欺压的罪恶当中。整个社会被富有的当权者所控制，这等人毫无顾忌地囤积赀财并多方辖制贫穷无权势的人。此外，那些审判官和宗教领袖不但不责备他们，反而享用他们丰厚的贿赂和奢华的筵席。

　　幸而，神站在那些遭践踏欺压的人那一面，神不接受贿赂，祂的审判庭不容许贿赂的事。神不会降低对子民的要求，以赛亚对犹大的领袖如此说：「寻求公平，解救受欺压的，给孤儿伸冤，为寡妇辨屈。」

　　在今天，神仍是这样吩咐我们。我们学习施怜悯行公义，作好准备等待有一天主亲自来到，「判断世上的谦卑人」（以赛亚书11:4）。

怎样证明圣经是上帝的话?请不要引用圣经 作者：唐崇荣

你这句话好象很有头脑，好象很有知识，但却是不合逻辑。例如：这是一张50元的马币，我现在说：“请你证明这张纸币是马来西亚钱，但是不要用这张纸币。”这张纸币如果是马来西亚的纸币，它有马来西亚的印记，作为记号与证明，这才是合理的。所以不要用圣经来证明圣经，是不合理的。

如果我从马来亚大学毕业，马来更大学给我一张证书，你要证明这张证书是马来亚大学的证书，又说“请不要用这张证书来证明这张证书“，是不可能的事情。很多反基督教的人一反基督教时，他里面的漏洞、错误都显出来了。“请不要用圣经来证明圣经是上帝的话”，我告诉你，我没有办法与你一同走那条错误的道路。

没有一本书像这本书影响过那么多的人，而被这本书影响的人很多不是普通的人物。丘吉尔是英国战时重要的首相，他说：“虽然很多人反对这本圣经，但是我知道有一本书能提高大英帝国百姓的道德，只有这一本，就是这本圣经。”英国最伟大的文学家约翰逊，他被称为英国文学之师，他死以前说了一句话：“Bring me the Book．”(把书拿给我。)人问：“Which Book?”(那一本书?)他说：“Stupib!The only Book is the Bible．”只有一本书把天地的始终交待清楚，这一本书把人的失败与成功秘诀都告诉我们，只有一本书使我们知道神的恩典与救赎的安排，只有一本书把真正道德圣洁的追求告诉我们。今天现代化的社会，把人类带到同性恋、吸毒合法化，许多很不公义的社会就要被民主所取胜，我告诉你，绝对化民主的结果：可能廿一世纪时，你的孩子吸毒却没有人可以告他，这样的民主下去，再过一两百年，很可能男与男结婚、女与女结婚，世界乱七八糟，爱滋病滋行全世界。民主如果没有用神的道来支持，是很危险的。

这本书是谁的话?会讲话的有四种，都是灵界的东西：神、人、天使、魔鬼。所有没有灵的都不会讲话，只有被造没有神形象的动物，他们只有奉能所要表达关于生死存亡饥饿等声音的表达，但是没有办法表达道德生活。没有一只鸡对另一只鸡说：“你要作一只有高尚鸡格的鸡。”为什么?因为它们没有灵。所以能言的只有神、人、天使、鬼，这奉圣经叫人行善，过圣洁的生活，不是鬼的话；这本圣经这么多奇妙的事，不可能单单是人的话，没有人可以讲那种话；除非那不是人，是神才会讲的。

举个例子，耶稣说：“你们在地上有两三个人奉我的名祷告，我就在你们中间。”这不是人可以讲的话。毛泽东会这样讲吗?“江青、胡耀邦、邓小平，你们两三个无论在那里，我就来了。”这是不可能的事情。耶稣基督还说：“你们在地上。”如果我说：“你们怡保的人”。那别人会问：“这讲的人从那里来，他一定不是怡保的人吧。”如果我说：“你们地球上的人。”那我是属于什么球的?所以耶稣讲的话不是人可以讲的话。耶稣说：“你们在地上。”表明他是从天而来，表示天地之分，也表示超越地界无所不在的能力。所以如果有两个人在这里奉耶稣的名祷告，耶稣来了，祷告到一半，吉隆坡有另外一批人祷告，耶稣又快快赶去了，他要坐什么快车呢?刚刚到吉隆坡时，忽然新加坡三个人祷告，耶稣是不是又坐747的飞机赶去呢?那知一下了璋宜机场，莫斯科又有人祷告，他又快快坐火箭去了，他不是忙坏了吗?所以这是不可能的。

耶稣是超越时空的。耶稣说：“你们若照我所吩咐的去行，我就与你们同在，直到世界的未了。”不是直到明天下午，不是直到我老的时候，而是到世界的未了，是到历史的终极。如果你爸爸死前对你说：“如果你乖乖照我的话去作，我去了就每天与你在一起，直到永永远远。”你会说：“不必了，你平平安安的去吧。永永远远和我在一起，我担当不起啊。”心里却想：“吓死我了。”所以主耶稣所讲的话没有人可以讲的，也不是人可以讲的。

神把智能的灵放在你里面的时候．看世界就不—样了。从今天开始你看每一朵花都是不一样的，没有一个画家可以画很更好，如果可以的话，也只可能卖更贵，但是不会繁殖，画家画的老虎是的对不会生孩子的。上帝的创造是最奇妙的。

天堂地狱启示录by 卡特琳·巴斯德牧師

我今日呼天唤地向你作见证。我将生死祸福陈明在你面前，所以你要拣选生命，使你和你的后裔都得存活；且爱耶和华你的神，听从他的话，专靠他，因为他是你的生命，你的日子长久也在乎他。这样，你就可以在耶和华向你列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓应许所赐的地上居住。(申命记30:19-20)

关于作者

　　卡特琳·巴斯德（kathryn baxter）是生在查哈奴加(chahanooga)美国东南部的田纳西州(tennessee)。她是在信主的家庭长大，当年纪还很小的时候，母亲就教导她关于主耶稣和他的救恩。

　　她在十九岁那年才真正重生。她事奉主几年之后，堕落了一段时期。主的灵在她的心中一直不放松，她终于又回到主里，重新奉献于主，忠心事奉，直到现在。

　　在一九六五年期间，她和家人搬到美国密歇根州东南部的底特律(detroit，michigan)，在那里住了一段时间。后来，她又搬到白里维 (belleville，michigan)。在那里，她开始从主得着异象。在密歇根州，她很顺服主的家庭的长老和领袖们，许多主的仆人、领袖和信徒都很赞赏她的事奉，她主持的聚会是着重圣灵的带领。在聚会中，有许多神迹发生，圣灵的恩赐也清楚的彰显。她全心、全意、全力地爱主，她最大的渴望是为基督耶稣拯救灵魂。

　　卡特琳和比利·巴斯德结婚二十四年，他们养育了四个孩子，也有了六个孙儿，他们都很支持她的事奉。

　　她的确是上帝忠心的使女，她的呼召、特别是在异梦、异象和启示方面。一九八三年她在全备福音神的教会受按立。她目前是在国家神的教会，华盛顿d.c的权柄下事奉。

　　在一九七六年，她在白里维时，上帝就给她启示，主耶稣亲自以人形向他显现，也在异象、异梦和启示中向她显现。从那时起，她得到很多次主的特别显现。在这些显现中，主让她看到了地狱中那些失落的灵魂所受到的巨大的折磨；她也得到关于天堂的异象，大灾难时期的启示，以及世界末了的事的启示。在这一段时期里，主耶稣一连四十天的每天晚上，都向她显现。主耶稣告诉她，这些信息是要使全世界都知道的。

作者之声

　　我知道，若没有主耶稣超自然的能力，这本关系到人死后和来生的事情的书是不可能写成的，因为只有在主耶稣手中有死亡和阴间的钥匙。惟有主耶稣曾为世人付出了代价，使我们可以因信他而进入天堂。

　　这本书所写的是个很长、很寂寞也很吃力的经验。其实它是等了好几年才被推出来的。这些启示是在一九七六年得到的，我花了八个月的时间记下来，写文稿就花了几年的时间，又花了一年的时间把所有有关的经文都按顺序排好。在一九八一年冬天到一九八三年，这本书才最后的整理完成。

　　我现在可以看到上帝是一直在预备我写这本书，我很小的时候，就曾有过异梦，当我接受主耶稣重生以后，我对失落的灵魂有很强烈的爱和负担，我渴望看到灵魂得救。

　　在一九七六年，主向我显现，他告诉我说，我是被选召出来，为要承担这个特别的任务。他说：“我的孩子，我会向你显现，来带领人从黑暗里出来，进入光明中，因为上帝选召你有一个目的，是要你记录下那些我向你显示和告诉你的事情。我将会向你启示地狱的真实，从而使很多人得救，使很多人悔改恶行，不然就会太迟了。我会使你的灵魂从身体中出来，去到地狱和我要你看到的地方，我也会给你看关于天堂的异象，我会给你很多启示。”

马利·卡特琳·巴斯德

　　主耶稣对卡特琳说：“你被生出来是为了这个目的：要你写下来，传扬我所启示告诉你的事情。这事是信实的、是真实的，你的呼召是让这个世界的人知道地狱是真实的地方。而我，主耶稣是上帝派来拯救世人脱离这种折磨的救主。”

第一章　　进入地狱参观

　　在一九七六年三月，我正在家中祷告时，主耶稣来探访我，我已经在灵里祷告很多天了。突然间，我感到主强烈的同在，他的能力和容光充满了整个房间，一股很辉煌的光照亮了我，一种很甜美奇妙的感受临到我身上。那些光辉如巨浪般地流动奔腾，互相重叠，然后又分开，这事情实在是很奇妙壮观，接着，有主的声音，他开始向我说话了。

　　他说：“我是耶稣基督你的主，我要给你一个启示来预备圣徒们等候我的再来，这启示也会使许多人悔改，走公义的道路。那些黑暗的势力是真的，我的审判也是真的。我的孩子，我将以圣灵的能力带你到地狱，我会显示给你许多事情，是要你让世人知道的。我会向你多次显现，我会把你的灵带出你的身体，使你亲自到地狱，我要你写一本书，告诉世人我给你的异象和启示。你和我会一起去参观地狱。你要记录下来这些昔在、今在和将要来临的事情，我的话是真实的，是信实的，是可靠的，我是那自有永有者，除了我以外，别无真神。”

　　我对主说：“主啊，你要我做什么？”我全身全心地向主呼喊，来认定他的同在，我所能说的，就是主的爱充满了我，那是我所经历的最美好、最平安、最喜乐、最大能力的爱。

　　赞美上帝的话，当时就从我心中涌流出来，我愿意完全奉献自己供他使用。圣灵使我知道当时是主耶稣、神的儿子在我的房间里与我同在。这些事是非言语能表达出来的。耶稣说：“我的孩子，你看，我就要带你去到地狱了，使你能记录下来地狱的真实情况，去告诉世人：地狱是真的，使失落的灵魂能从黑暗当中出来，进到主耶稣基督的福音光明中。”主说话时，我的灵就离开我的身体，与主耶稣一同离开那房间，升到天空去。我能察觉一切发生在我周围的事情，我看到我的丈夫和孩子们还在我底下的家里睡觉。

　　这就犹如我的身体死了，我的灵魂与主耶稣从屋顶出去，身体却还留在床上。那屋顶好象被卷起来，我可以看见我的家人安睡在床上。我感觉到主耶稣摸着我说：“不要害怕，他们都会平安。”主知道我的心思意念。

　　我会进一步的告诉你们，我所看到和感受到的。有些事情我是当时不明白，大多数的事情，主耶稣都向我解释，但是有些他却没有告诉我。

　　我们很快的就在空中了，我转身看着主，他充满了荣耀和能力，有一股平安从他身上发出来，他握着我的手说：“我爱你，不要惧怕，我与你同在。”我可以看到地球在我底下，从地球上面有许多突出象漏斗一般的东西，它们在旋转，好象巨大肮脏的紧身衣在不停地旋转一样，这些东西都是从地面上各处伸出来的。

　　我问主耶稣：“这是什么地方呢？”他说：“这是去地狱的通道！我们会通过其中一条去到地狱。”

　　立刻，我们就进到其中一个漏斗般的通道内，里面好象是隧道一样，在不停地旋转，犹如陀螺一般。一种很深的黑暗降临到我们身上，然后就闻到一种令人窒息的臭味。在这隧道的壁上藏有暗灰色的生物。当我们经过的时候，它们都在大叫，我知道这些是邪灵，它们是连接在壁上，但是能活动，从它们的身上，发出一阵阵令人恐怖的臭味。在隧道里，我可以感觉到一股邪恶的势力在运行。我问主：“这些是什么呢？”主说：“是邪灵，它们已经预备好，等待撒旦发命令，它们就被吐出去到地面上行恶事。”当我们在隧道中行走时，那些邪灵在笑在喊，想来摸我们，却不能够，因为主耶稣的能力胜过它们。整个气氛充满了污秽，只有主耶稣的同在才使我不至于惊惧而大喊。

　　是的，我的五官感觉都齐全，我能够听见，看见，嗅到，尝到也感觉到那些邪恶的势力。其实，我的五官显得更加敏锐。

　　我们来到了隧道的底部。这里充满了喊叫声和各种各样的声音，刺耳的哭叫声充满了空间，我可以感觉到恐惧、死亡和罪恶在我的四周围。

　　一种最难闻的气味，如腐烂的肉一般，从四面八方袭来，充满了空间，我在世上从来没有感觉到这种邪恶，也没有听过这种惨绝人寰的哭喊，我很快的就发觉原来这些声音都来自那死了的人，地狱里充满了他们的哀叫声。

　　我感觉到前面有一阵邪恶的风和吸力，有闪电般的光刺穿那阴深的黑暗，在墙上有投影，显出灰暗的影子，我听着不由得后退，当我发觉在我前面有一条很大的蛇，我再仔细一看，才知道有很多的蛇在那里滑来滑去。

　　耶稣说：“我们很快就要进到地狱的左脚了，你将会看到极大的忧伤、可悲的愁苦和不可形容的恐怖，你要靠近我，我会给你力量和保护。”

　　主说：“你将要看到的事，是一种警告，你所要写的书，将会拯救许多的灵魂脱离地狱。你所看到的都是真实的，不要惧怕，因为我与你同在。”

　　最后，我们来到了隧道的底部，我们踏出隧道，进入地狱了。在我们前面，有许多飞来飞去的物体，空中充满了呻吟声和惨叫声。前面有一道暗光，我们正向着它走去。路是干燥的，充满了粉末般的肮脏，我们来到了一个小隧道的门口。

　　地狱的恐怖是可以尝到的。我知道如果没有主耶稣与我同在，我不可能回来。让我警戒你——不要去地狱！这是一个充满恐怖折磨的地方，是个充满极剧烈痛苦和忧伤的地方。你的灵魂是一直存在的，你的灵魂是永远长存的，你的灵魂才是真正的你。你灵魂的去处不是天堂就是地狱。

　　你们那些认为地狱是在地球里的，我说，你们对了！地狱是在地球的中心，那里有日夜被折磨的灵魂。地狱里没有爱，没有怜悯，没有休息，是一个不可思议的令人忧伤的地方。


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

第二章　　地狱的左脚(生命源头注：燃烧的火坑)

　　一种恐怖的味道充满了空间，主耶稣对我说：“在地狱的左脚，有许多的坑，让我们花一些时间在这里，你将要看到的事情使你时常记得提醒这世界上的人，一定要知道地狱是真的。这里还有隧道通到地狱的其它地方。”

　　主耶稣向我显现的形象不一，有时他是以一种比太阳光还亮的形象向我显现，在光中有一个人形；有时，我看到主耶稣是一个人，有时却是一个灵的形象。主耶稣又说：“孩子，我所说的，是天父已经说了的，天父与我是合一的。要记得，最大的事，超越其他一切的事，是要爱人，要互相饶恕，来跟从我。”

　　当我们走动时，邪灵从主面前逃避，我很恐惧，心里哭喊着说：“神啊，神啊，接下来又是什么！”

　　所有在地狱里的，他们的感官都是有效的，我感觉到四处都是恐惧，危机四伏。我每走一步都比前一步更恐怖。在隧道的上头，有许多如窗口一样的门，正在高速地开关不停，当那邪灵从那些门飞出通道时，它们发出喊叫声，这些喊叫声充满了空间。我们来到了这隧道的尽头，就踏上了一条路，路的两旁有很阔的地，我眼目所及的尽都是一坑坑燃烧着的火。每个坑有四尺阔三尺深，形状如碗。耶稣说：“在地狱的左脚，有很多象这样的火坑，让我们看一看其中的一些吧。” 我发觉自己是个灵的形体，样子是我本身的形状。我心中一直思念：不从我的心意，让你的旨意成就。

　　我和主一起站在路旁，望进其中一个火坑，坑的四壁嵌着硫磺，好象烧红了的火炭一般发光。在坑的中间是一个死了的人失落的灵魂。火从坑底下烧上来把那失落的灵魂包裹住，忽然间，那火又沉下去，留下余烬。然后，随着一阵风声，火又上升，燃烧着那失落的灵魂，我看见他是被关在一个骷髅的形体内。我哭着说：“主啊，你不能放他们出来吗？”那情形实在是可怕。我想这人可能是我啊！我说：“主啊，看到这个灵魂在这火坑里是多么伤心的事啊！”

　　我听到喊叫从第一个坑里发出来。一个在骷髅形体里的灵魂在哭着说：“耶稣，可怜我吧！”那声音是一个女人的声音。我看着她，真想要把她拉出来，那种情景使我心碎了。

　　那灵魂开始跟主耶稣说话，我看到那灵魂在骷髅的形体内，如一团灰色肮脏的物体，腐烂的肉犹如碎片般挂在骨骼上，它们被燃烧之后，就掉入坑底去了。她以前有眼睛的地方，现在只剩下两个空眼窝。她没有头发，火从她的脚开始着起，渐渐地上升，爬上她的身体，一直在燃烧。虽然有时那火只是余烬，她也从内心深处涌出哭泣呻吟，充满绝望：“主，我要从这里出去！”

　　她一直想摸到主耶稣，我看见主的脸上充满忧伤。主对我说：“我的孩子，你与我在这里是要让世人知道罪的后果就是死，地狱是真实的。”

　　我再看那妇人，只见虫从她的骷髅里爬出来，它们不怕火烧，主说：“她知道也能感觉到那些虫在她里面。”

　　相关圣经经文：

　　以赛亚书66:24　他们必出去观看那些违背我人的尸首。因为他们的虫是不死的，他们的火是不灭的。凡有血气的，都必憎恶他们。

　　马可福音9:47-49　倘若你一只眼叫你跌倒，就去掉他。你只有一只眼进入神的国，强如有两只眼被丢在地狱里。在那里虫是不死的，火是不灭的。因为必用火当盐，腌各人（有古卷在此有凡祭物必用盐腌）。

　　我看到那火焰又升起来，到最高峰，燃烧着她。我说：“神啊，求你怜悯！”那灵魂发出极大的喊叫和哭泣声，整个骷髅都在震动着，她永远失落了！再没有机会脱离折磨了！我在惊慌中小声问主：“为什么她来到这里？”主没有回答，只是说：“来。”

　　我们所走的路是弯弯曲曲的。在火坑之间弥漫着那些绝望的哭泣，喊叫和呻吟不停地从四面八方传来。在地狱里没有安静的时候，整个空间充满了死的气味和腐肉的气味。

　　我们来到第二个火坑，火坑的大小和第一个一样，我看到另一个灵魂在骷髅内，一个男人的声音从火坑里哀叫说：“主，求你怜悯我！”只有当那灵魂说话时，我才分辨出他是男人还是女人。这人很大声地哭嚎：“我很后悔，主啊，原谅我！带我离开这里啊，我已经在这里受折磨很多年了！我乞求你，让我出去！” 我看着主，他也在流泪，他向上仰望，然后说：“我的父，我的父，怜悯吧！”那人在燃烧着他的火中又喊叫说：“难道我还没有因我的罪受够苦难吗？自从我死后，已经在这里受苦四十年了！”主说：“经上记着说：‘义人必因信得生’所有嘲笑的人和不信的人都要被扔在火湖里。你生前不相信真理，有很多次，我派我的子民去指示你永生的道路，但是，你总不听他们的话，讥笑他们，不听福音，虽然我为你的罪钉到了十字架上，你却嘲笑我，不肯悔改你的罪行，我的天父给过你许多机会使你得救，若是你肯听就好了。”那人说：“我知道，我现在悔改！”主说：“太迟了，审判已经定了！”

　　那人继续说：“主，有一些我的亲人会来这里，因为他们也不肯悔改。请让我去告诉他们，他们须要悔改，他们还在世上，我不要他们也来这里！”

　　主说：“他们有传道人，教师们，和长老们，这些人都在传福音，这些人会去告诉你的亲人们。他们也有现代的交通制度和许多其他的方法来认识我。我遣派工人去他们那里，使他们可以相信以至得救。如果他们听了福音而不肯相信，即使有人从死里复活来告诉他们，他们也不会相信。”

　　那人听了，就很生气，开始咒诅，从他口中，各种邪恶和亵渎的话都出来。我很恐惧地看着那火焰又升起来，燃烧那些死烂的肉，这些肉就跌落下去。那人的灵魂犹如一堆肮脏的灰色物体，充满在骷髅内。我对主说：“多恐怖啊！”

　　主说：“地狱是真的，审判也是真的。我很爱他们的。孩子，这是我要向你启示的很多恐怖事情的开始，还有很多要来的。去，告诉全世界的人，地狱是真的！世上的人，或男或女，都必须从罪中悔改。来，跟随我，我们继续走吧。”

　　在接下来的一个火坑里，有一个骨头很小的妇人，大约是八十岁。我不能解释我如何知道她年纪的，但是我知道。我看着那火焰燃烧着她，然后我看到那些虫在她里面爬着。我哭着说：“主啊，多么可怕啊！我不知我能不能继续下去了，因为这些情景实在是太恐怖了，真是难以置信啊！”我眼睛所能看见的都是充满了灵魂的火坑，他们都被火燃烧着。主说：“我的孩子，这就是为什么你在这里的原因。你要知道这些事，然后把地狱的真实情况告诉给世人，天堂是真的，地狱也是真的。来，我们需要继续下去。”我回头看那妇人，她的哭泣是那么的凄惨，她把她的骨手放在一起，好象在祷告，我不能自已地哭泣，在灵的形体中，人也能哭泣，我知道那些在地狱里的人能感受到这一切。

　　主耶稣知道我的意念，他说：“是的，孩子，他们能感受到这一切，当人来到地狱，他们同样有感觉和思想的功用，如同在世上一样。他们记得他们的家庭，朋友，他们也记得在世上的那些时刻。他们曾有机会悔改得救，而他们却拒绝了。记忆往事时时刻刻在他们的意念中，若他们在还来得及的时候相信福音就好了。”

　　我再看那个妇人，我发觉她只有一只脚，而在她的大腿骨上有许多的洞，我问主耶稣：“这是什么？”主说：“孩子，当她还在世上时，患了癌症，非常痛苦，她经过手术，救了她的命。她躺在床上很多年，心中充满了苦恨。我的子民中有很多去为她祷告，告诉她，我可以医治她，她却说是上帝把这些折磨给她的，她不肯悔改，不肯相信我的福音，她曾认识我，但是后来怨恨我。她说她不需要我医治她，祝福她，反而背弃、诅咒我，说不要我。我的灵曾一直地感动她悔改，甚至她背弃了我之后，圣灵还去吸引她，但是她总不肯听从。最后，她就死了，来到了这里。”

　　那老妇人大声向主喊：“主啊，请你原谅我！我很后悔！我在世上不肯悔改，如果现在还有机会悔改就好了！主啊，帮助我离开这地方，我要事奉你，我会作好人，我岂不是受够了吗！为什么还要在这里？啊！为什么我会等到你的灵不再来吸引我、感动我悔改的时候！”

　　主说：“你曾经有许多机会可以悔改，事奉我。”我看到主的脸上满是忧伤。当我们离开那妇人时，我问主：“主啊，接下来又是什么？”

　　我可以感觉到恐惧充满了四周，到处是忧伤哭泣、痛苦的喊叫，和死亡的气氛。主和我伤心地走到另一个火坑。我唯有靠主的力量才能继续下去。我在很远的地方，还能够听到那老妇人悔改的哭泣和哀求赦免的声音。我想，若是我能够帮助她……罪人，请不要等到上帝的灵不再感动你悔改的时候！

　　相关圣经经文：

　　希伯来书3:15　经上说，你们今日若听他的话，就不可硬着心，像惹他发怒的日子一样。

　　哥林多后书6:2　因为他说，在悦纳的时候，我应允了你。在拯救的日子，我搭救了你。看哪，现在正是悦纳的时候，现在正是拯救的日子。

　　在接下来的火坑中，我看见一个跪着的妇人，她好象正在寻找一件东西，她的骷髅也是充满了洞，她的骨是可以看透的，她的破衣在燃烧，她的头是光秃的，眼球和鼻子的地方只有剩下的空洞。在她跪着的脚旁有一团小火在燃烧，她在抓着那嵌着硫磺的坑壁，那火贴在她的手上，死肉一直从她的手上掉下去，她整个人都在震动，大哭着说：“主啊！主啊！我要出去！”当我们正看着，她爬到火坑的边缘，我以为她可以出来了，但是有一只巨大的，黑褐色，全身是毛，眼睛在头深处的邪灵，扇着一对大的翅膀，赶到妇人那里。那翅膀上端好象是折断了的。它跑到她的旁边，犹如一只大熊，把那妇人大力地推回坑中。我看见她跌回火坑中，感到很恐怖。我很可怜她，我要抱着她，求主医治她，带她出来！

　　主耶稣知道我的意念，就对我说：“我的孩子，审判已经定了，上帝的话说出去了！她还是小孩的时候，我一直呼唤她悔改，来事奉我。那年她十六岁，我对她说：‘我爱你，将你的生命献给我，来跟从我，因为我呼召你有特别的目的。’在她的一生中，我一直在呼召着她，但是她总是不肯听从。她说：‘有一天我会事奉你，现在我没有时间！我现在要享受生命，耶稣，明天我再事奉你。’明天却永远没有来，因为她拖延得太迟了。

　　那妇人向主哭叫说：“我的灵魂实在是受尽了折磨，无法逃避，我知道在世上我选择了世界而不要主，我要得着财富、名誉和产业。我得了这些，我可以买到任何我所要的东西，我是我自己的主。当时我是最美丽，穿得最好的女人。我有财富和名利，但是我发觉到当我死的时候，我却不能带这些去！主啊，地狱是多么的恐怖！每日每夜不得安息，我时时都在折磨的痛苦中，主啊，帮助我。”那妇人期望地看着主说：“我甜蜜的主，当初我听你的就好了，我将永远后悔这件事，我计划有一天事奉你。当我预备好了的时候，我以为你会时时地在那里等着我，我是多么的错误！当时我是有最多人捧的女人，因为我很漂亮，我知道上帝在叫我悔改，在我的一生中，上帝用爱来吸引我，我以为可以利用上帝，好象利用别人一样。我以为上帝会时时在那里等我。是的，我利用上帝，上帝一直在吸引我来事奉他，而我却一直觉得我不需要他。啊，我实在是错了！因为撒旦开始利用我，我开始事奉撒旦，越来越爱它，最后，我竟然爱撒旦超过爱上帝。我变成很喜欢去犯罪，我不肯归回上帝。撒旦利用我的美貌、我的金钱、我的心思意念，以致于总在想撒旦还会给我多大的能力。虽然到了如此的地步，上帝还继续地吸引我悔改，但是我一直想，还有明天，有一天，我乘坐一辆车的时候，我的司机把车撞进了一间房子，我就被撞死了。主啊，求你让我出去！”她说话时，骨手向着主，火焰一直在燃烧着她。

用來審判的也受到審判

用來審判的也受到審判

「你們要哀號，因為耶和華的日子臨近了！這日來到，好像毀滅從全能者來到。」 - 賽13:6


　　這個世界是否已失去控制了呢？任何收聽新聞報告的人都會有這樣的想法。世界歷史彷彿像一輛無人駕駛、搖搖晃晃衝下山坡的公共汽車。如果你也為此擔憂，你可以從今天的經文看看很久以前的一些歷史片段。

　　神竟然使用信奉異教的國家來懲罰祂的子民。不過，神的性情和行動仍是始終一致的。巴比倫雖然是神用作審判的工具，但其實它和以色列或猶大一樣，也必會因犯罪受審判的。耶和華說：「我必因邪惡刑罰世界，因罪孽刑罰惡人，使驕傲人的狂妄止息，制伏強暴人的狂傲。」

　　接著，神又藉著另一個民族施行祂的公義，他們就是瑪代人：「我必激動瑪代人攻擊他們…巴比倫…傾覆。」然後便輪到瑪代人降卑被神使用，來協助以色列餘民返國，以準備迎接以馬內利的降臨了（參看但以理書8-9）。

　　我們的主是掌管歷史的神，無論是在昔日或在今天，祂對世界前面的路已有清楚的計劃，這世界的終點就是祂平安的國度，在裏面人人都和平安康。今天，如果你是這個國度的子民，你大可以安心了，因為你知道，神會叫萬事互相效力來成就這件事的（參看羅馬書8:28）。




THE INSTRUMENT OF JUDGMENT IS JUDGED

“Wail, for the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. ” - Isaiah 13:6

Is the world out of control? Anyone who listens to the news might think so. The bus of world history seems to be careening down a mountain road with no one at the wheel. If that’s your fear, take a look at the snapshot from ancient history in today’s passage.

God used pagan nations to bring judgment on his people. But God is consistent in his character and in his actions. Babylon, which served as God’s instrument of punishment, is no better than Israel or Judah. It too must be judged for its sin. The Lord says, “I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless.”

Later, the interests of God’s justice would be carried out through yet another people, the Medes: “I will stir up against them the Medes . . . . Babylon . . . will be overthrown.” The Medes in turn would also be humbled by God and used to assist the remnant to return to prepare for the coming Immanuel (see Daniel 8-9).

Our Lord is the God of history. He has, then and now, clear intentions about where the world is headed. The destination is his kingdom of shalom (peace and well-being for all). If you are a citizen of that kingdom today, you can find confidence in knowing that God works all things for this ultimate good (see Romans 8:28).

天国的福音传遍天下

基督在预言耶路撒冷被毁时，说：“只因不法的事增多，许多人的爱心才渐渐冷淡了。惟有忍耐到底的必然得救。这天国的福音要传遍天下，对万民作见证，然后末期才来到。”这段预言必要再度应验。

(1)太24：14节“这天国的福音要传遍天下，对万民作见证，然后末期才来到”。在这里耶稣说在他来之前，这天国的福音先要传遍天下。这里的福音是天国的福音，不是一般的福音，犹太教会也是有福音的，这里的福音是耶稣教导的福音，这样的福音先要传遍天下，然后末期才来到，这是耶稣降临之前，最重要的征兆之一。

(2)在天国的福音传遍天下之前，我们（A）先要理解这天国的福音是什么？同样的话语在启14：6节里重复。“我又看见另有一位天使飞在空中，有永远的福音要传给住在地上的人，就是各国、各族、各方、各民。”我们必须明白什么是永远的福音。

(3)（B）怎样将这样的福音传遍天下呢？这个用我们人的方法是不可能做到的，这是上帝要做的。不是我们出去按我们的努力将福音传遍天下，要按上帝的方法去做。(4)耶稣来到这地上的方法是谁的方法？上帝的方法，在十字架上死去是谁的方法？上帝的方法，教导我们可以得救的福音是谁的方法？也是上帝的方法，所以在末时将福音传遍天下，也要按上帝的方法来成就。

(5)①太28：18节，这是耶稣对门徒的嘱咐。“耶稣说：天上地下所有的权柄都赐给我了。”就是说：天上具备的要在地上也成就，并且地上所成就的要被天上认可。耶稣是地上教会的首领，也是天上的审判者，耶稣在天上将圣灵赐下来，他拥有赐给在地上顺从他话语之人的能力；(6)耶稣来到地上将所有的真理都教导了我们，凡是能在生活上实行主教导的人，也必能从天上领受他所赐下的能力。耶稣这样说“所以你们要去使万民作我的门徒，奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗。凡我所吩咐你们的，都教训他们遵守，我就常与你们同在，直到世界的末了。”(7)这里说“使万民做我的门徒，并给他们施洗。”在这之前，要做什么呢？“凡我所吩咐你们的，都教训他们遵守。”当这样做的时候，他常与我们同在。怎样与我们同在？借着圣灵与我们同在，耶稣应许与传讲天国福音的人永远同在，并不是与什么人都同在，而是与传讲永远福音的人同在。

(8)②（将天国的福音传遍天下是什么意思？）罗1：5节“我们从他受了恩惠并使徒的职分，在万国之中叫人为他的名信服真道。”再看16：26节“这奥秘如今显明出来，而且按着永生上帝的命，借众先知的书指示万国的民，使他们信服真道。”(9)这里又说，把福音教导出来，叫他们信而顺从。在传扬福音时不仅要教导福音，而且要使他们相信而且顺从，这就是传福音。

(10)（C）这样的事情什么时候实现呢？在早雨圣灵的时候实现了一次，在晚雨圣灵的时候会再次成就；最开始是撒种的工作，第二次是收割的工作。



(10)（D）末时代福音的传播

①先来看几个具体的事件（末时代的到来）。“天国的福音要传遍天下，然后末期才来到。”在耶路撒冷毁灭之前，耶稣说明了耶路撒冷毁灭之前的一些征兆。(11)什么样的征兆？当你看见那行毁坏可憎的站在耶路撒冷城的时候，你要注意。这是指罗马军队攻打耶路撒冷城的事。在历史上耶路撒冷城曾经被包围二次，第一次是他们来到耶路撒冷很近的地方。犹太人他们定了一个距离，距耶路撒冷圣城周围多少公里以内是圣地，罗马军兵知道这个事实，所以他们来到圣地边界插上旗帜包围他们，后来拆退了，这是第一次包围，也就是耶路撒冷城马上要毁灭了，这是一个征兆。(12)当他们第二次包围的时候，将耶路撒冷城毁灭了。

耶稣也预言了末时代来到的征兆。太24：29节“那些日子的灾难一过去，日头就变黑了，月亮也不放光，众星要从天上坠落，天势都要震动。”这里有天上日头、月亮和星的征兆，

(13)②西1：23（福音已传遍天下）。“只要你们在所信的道上恒心，根基稳固，坚定不移，不至被引动失去福音的盼望，这福音就是你们所听过的，也是传与普天下万人听的。”这里说天国的福音已传遍了天下，什么时候？实际上保罗写信给歌罗西教会的时候，福音已呈现传遍天下的状态，也就是说在耶路撒冷毁灭之前，福音就已经传开了。

(14)这个预言在末时要重演（末时到来之前，福音也会传遍天下。）耶路撒冷毁灭之后，针对进入末时代的征兆的预言都已发生了，末时代就开始了，这个时代正是福音要传遍天下的时代，什么样的福音呢？永远的福音，是叫人遵守诫命的福音，叫人信而得救的福音，这样的福音要传遍天下。 (15)③现在我们已经知道了福音在耶路撒冷毁灭之前已经传遍了天下。用同样的方法，福音在我们这个时代也会传遍天下。

福音最开始传遍天下是五旬节圣灵沛降的事件，徒1：8；2：1－11节（略）这里耶稣对门徒说：“如果圣灵降在你们身上，你们就必得着能力。”(16) “得着能力”是不是能去治病？去说方言？当然这些也包括其中，但是更重要的是你们将要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地和撒玛利亚，直到地极，成为我的见证。圣灵降临的原因是什么呢？是为了传播福音，是为了正确地见证耶稣，这就是得圣灵的理由。得着圣灵之后，就可以见证耶稣是怎样的一位，借着这样的生活来教导人。

(17)成为耶稣的见证是什么意思？什么叫证人呢？就是他亲身看到、亲身经历的事情。我们从上面得到圣灵，我们就能看到什么？耶稣、真理。这个真理可以改变我们，从而顺从就成为我们的喜乐，从而有很自愿的、很喜乐的心跟从主，所以是带着自己的经验去见证。我们得到圣灵之后就成为证人。

【转】 日本地震：引发对圣经预言的思考。

圣经对末日之前的的预测：

《路加福音》 21：9 你们听见打仗和扰乱的事，不要惊惶，因为这些事必须先有，只是末期不能立时就到。”
《路加福音》 21：10 当时，耶稣对他们说：“民要攻打民，国要攻打国，
《路加福音》 21：11 地要大大震动，多处必有饥荒、瘟疫，又有可怕的异象和大神迹从天上显现。
《马太福音》 24：6 你们也要听见打仗和打仗的风声，总不要惊慌，因为这些事是必须有的，只是末期还没有到。
《马太福音》 24：7 民要攻打民，国要攻打国，多处必有饥荒、地震。
《马太福音》 24：8 这都是灾难的起头。



很多人对圣经预言不了解或在不相信，

但圣经在预言方面，是任何经书、预测书，任何预言家都无法比拟的。因为圣经是神自己亲自默示人代写的,

《提摩太后书》 3：16 圣经都是　神所默示的，于教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义都是有益的，

所以，它里面的话都等于都是上帝自己亲自对人类启示的，自然它的内容就能经得起任何的考究了。

圣经有近2000处预测和预见，并且100%准确（人是无法有此精准预测了.只有上帝（神）才能做到）：



很多灾难都有人为因素在里面，因为上帝知道，到末后的日子，人心会更加败坏，会更加贪婪险恶。

看圣经对末日之前的人心是如何描述的？？？

《提摩太后书》 3：1 你该知道，末世必有危险的日子来到。
《提摩太后书》 3：2 因为那时人要专顾自己、贪爱钱财、自夸、狂傲、谤渎、违背父母、忘恩负义、心不圣洁、
《提摩太后书》 3：3 无亲情、不解怨、好说谗言、不能自约、性情凶暴、不爱良善、
《提摩太后书》 3：4 卖主卖友、任意妄为、自高自大、爱宴乐、不爱　神，



但作恶的人，怎能逃脱上帝的审判呢？

《马太福音》 23：33 你们这些蛇类、毒蛇之种啊！怎能逃脱地狱的刑罚呢？
《希伯来书》 9：27 按着定命，人人都有一死，死后且有审判。

所以，唯有信靠上帝、信靠耶稣基督，我们的生命才能有转机，才有希望。期盼大家能因此警醒，多来了解耶稣，认识耶稣，来信耶稣！已经信的人更要警醒预备，悔改在神面前，重新火热爱主，我们的生命及灵魂才能得到拯救！

人类的生存和繁衍是伴随着灾难前行的。史前那场波及北半球大部分地区的洪水,使人类遭受了灭顶之灾；黑死病肆虐欧洲几百年,吞噬了欧洲2/3的人口:庞贝城、里斯本、芝加哥、东京都曾经被地震或火灾毁灭过……进入21世纪,那些古老的灾难一一地震、海啸、洪水、火山爆发……依然威胁着人类；高科技、信息技术的井喷般迅猛发展,又衍生出了新型的灾难,比如2008 年汶川大地震和波及全世界的金融海啸、威胁地球的厄尔尼诺现象、诡异且破坏力极强的计算机病毒、世界黑色石油危机的迷雾、环境污染等等,同样极为严重地威胁着人类的生存和发展。面对这些震撼世界的大灾难,人们一次次陷入了深深地思索。

让我们再来回顾这些触目惊心的画面吧

3月11日，日本以东海域发生强烈地震并引发巨大海啸，宫城县大量房屋、汽车被洪水冲毁。　3月11日，日本以东海域发生强烈地震并引发巨大海啸、、、、



在大灾难来临那刻，人已经没有贵贱之分，“人人平等”。谁也难以逃脱。

范玮琪：我把决定权交给上帝

在娱乐圈有极佳的人缘的--基督徒艺人范玮琪（范范）
 在流行歌坛一片的女声当中，基督徒艺人范玮琪坚持以民谣为底，一点点R&B，一点Soft Rock的“范范式”民谣风，让她在美女如云的歌坛脱颖而出。几年来，她先后推出了《范范的世界》、《太阳》、《最初的梦想》、《一比一》、《我们的纪念 日》等专辑，芝麻开花节节高。被称为氧气歌后的偶像歌手范玮琪主演的40集都市爱情偶像剧《醋溜族》，是倍受中国青少年关注的，也是继《粉红女郎》、《双 响炮》后又一部改编自朱德庸的同名漫画作品的电视剧，影响十分广泛。




 妈妈每天都会跪在床前为我祷告

 范玮琪、黑人与病童合影。（图：来自新华网）
范玮琪的家人都是基督徒，范范动情地说，“那段时间妈妈每天都会跪在床前为我祷告，牺牲了很多陪我走过最艰难的时刻。”即使从世界顶尖级的哈佛大学退出，她也同样得到了家人的支持，“休学的时候，爸爸写信给我，说我知道你做这个决定需要很大的勇气。无论你选择什么样的道路，爸爸都相信你可以发光发亮。”

当被问及创作的歌曲哪一首最付诸心力时，范玮琪毫不犹豫地回答说《黑白配》。这是她写给同是基督徒的男友——“黑人”陈建州的爱的宣言。歌词唱道“谁说不能黑白配，世界上没有什么事，能够如此得绝对。曾经有人这样唱过，白天它不懂夜的黑，你却懂得我的美 ……你有时会说，我们不配，只要能依偎，真的真的我什么都无所谓。钢琴也是黑白键，一样能弹出我对你，只有满满的感谢……”范范说，“成为艺人后，常常被媒体关心我的感情生活，我就在想，与其用说的，不如用唱的。这也是我对感情生活很诚实的作品。”她言语中幸福满溢。

范玮琪与男友黑人“黑白配”。
黑人-陈建州总是充满了活力与自信，黝黑的脸庞带 着亲切的笑容，然而很少人知道，在黑人的笑容背后，他曾经历父亲空难过世、袭警鬼混、运动伤害被迫退出球场的人生考验，但他没有被这些困境击倒，因女友范 玮琪的影响成为基督徒，以乐观开朗的积极态度，重新面对人生，成为广受年轻人欢迎的全方位艺人。黑人特别珍 惜生命中领受到的爱，也乐意把这份从天上来的爱散播出去。他不但积极参与公益活动，还随着“世界展望会”去探访非洲贫童，甚至替一位萍水相逢的苦学生缴交 辅导学费。因为他深知道，唯有生命中有爱，才能使他从艰难中安然走过，而他，也乐意把这份爱传发到世界的每一个角落。

极佳的人缘。她为此充满感恩
     在复杂的娱乐圈中，范范却有极佳的人缘。她为此充满感恩，她说，“我可以自豪地说，范范在演艺圈交的朋友都是真心的朋友。我们相处很自然很自然，都真诚地发自内心爱对方。我的朋友们给了我最好的支持。她们用友情环抱我，我很幸运。”

据该期《天下女人》编导手记介绍，范玮琪给剧组留下的深刻印象就是她的谦卑和礼貌。在节目录制之前，杨澜过来和范玮琪先见面简单聊聊，范玮琪正在试穿录制 节目要穿的鞋子，站起来和杨澜说话，马上脱了鞋打赤脚站在地上，然后说：“对不起，刚才不礼貌。”原来范玮琪是觉得比杨澜高了，不礼貌。范玮琪一米七几的 身高，加上高跟鞋就比杨澜高了快半个头，所以马上脱了鞋赤脚站在地上。

编导说，“在整个节目中，范玮琪聊起曾经的过往、曾经的心情，仿佛回到那情那景，流水般柔顺且纯朴的性格，少女般敏感而梦幻的气质，一颗超乎名誉、利益的纯洁之心，展露无遗，令人如沐春风。”

比尔盖茨+巴菲特:俩虔诚基督徒倡议美国亿万富翁捐半数

比尔盖茨+巴菲特:俩虔诚基督徒倡议美国亿万富翁捐半数家产(附图+信仰见证)
此举将使美国慈善事业的资金轻松地翻倍,甚至可能达到三倍，甚至影响整个世界。
《马太福音》 6：19 不要为自己积攒财宝在地上，地上有虫子咬，能锈坏，也有贼挖窟窿来偷； 
《马太福音》 6：20 只要积攒财宝在天上，天上没有虫子咬，不能锈坏，也没有贼挖窟窿来偷。

比尔盖茨+巴菲特:俩个最有钱也最慈善的基督徒
6000亿美元!这是一个什么数字?如果美国的亿万富豪们都捐出自己的一半家产,慈善业将得到这个数的捐款。
美国富翁比尔·盖茨和梅琳达·盖茨夫妇,以及沃伦·巴菲特日前倡议全美的亿万富翁宣 誓,在有生之年或死后将自己的一半家产捐给慈善机构。这被称为是“日落条款”,规定捐赠人应设定一个最后期限,届时他们或者其继承人必须将资产直接支付给 慈善机构。这或将改变整个慈善事业的面貌,亦激发对“裸捐”的新讨论。
《财富》杂志估算,如果他们取得成功,那么将募得近6000亿美元,这将大大改变美国的慈善事业,成为一股强劲的慈善风暴,席卷全球。
盖茨巴菲特领刮慈善风暴,共同倡议亿万富豪们捐出一半家产

“慈善誓言”可能扩展至他国


巴菲特和盖茨夫妇在过去的1年里与美国富人举行了一系列的餐会,希望促使他们做出慈 善承诺。他们称这种活动为“慈善誓言”,并要求做出承诺的富人在有生之年捐献至少50%的财富,或者在死后以书面的形式公开表明他们的决定。“慈善誓言” 网站上称,这一数目“是可以理解并可以达成的,很多人最后捐出的款项甚至可能超过这一比例。”
巴菲特16日在财富网站上发表声明说:“比尔·盖茨和梅琳达·盖茨,还有我,正在呼吁数百名美国的有钱人宣誓,至少将他们50%的财产捐给慈善事业。”作为世界第三大富翁,巴菲特已经承诺将自己家产的99%捐给慈善事业。
据《财富》杂志报道,福布斯列出的全美400名最有钱的富翁的净资产约为12000亿美元,那么如果盖茨夫妇和巴菲特的倡议成功,他们至少能募得6000亿美元的承诺捐款。
洛克菲勒慈善顾问公司主席美莉莎·贝曼说:“这将使美国慈善事业的资金轻松地翻倍,甚至可能达到三倍。这将大大刺激其他的美国人,让他们也参与进来,那么我们就能改变整个世界。”
据悉,凡是参与“慈善誓言”的富翁有权选择他们支持的慈善领域。而这项活动虽然目前主要集中在美国的亿万富翁,但是最后可能会扩展到其他国家。

一次秘密聚餐兴起最大规模募捐


据《财富》杂志援引盖茨夫妇和巴菲特的话报道,“慈善誓言”起源于2009年5月5日在纽约的一次餐会。那次活动是由盖茨夫妇组织的。
去年3月的时候,比尔·盖茨在奥马哈市机场附近的一家餐厅和巴菲特共进午餐,最后巴 菲特买单。美国媒体称,这家名为“好莱坞餐厅”的店很可能在史书上留下一笔,因为就是在那里,那两人兴起了提倡富翁捐款的念头。随后,他们便请大卫·洛克 菲勒出面举办一次宴会。到了去年5月,便有消息称,盖茨和巴菲特在纽约组织了一场美国亿万富翁的秘密餐会,纽约市长布隆伯格和“名嘴”奥普拉·温弗瑞等名 人悉数到场,而餐会的主题就是慈善事业。
在那场聚会中,盖茨夫妇和巴菲特开始了有史以来最大规模的募捐活动。不过,这个愿望 并没有在纽约的那场宴会上立即形成具体的计划,随后他们还举行了另外两场未经公开的聚餐。盖茨夫妇和巴菲特最后设立了一个目标:从超级富豪下手,也就是福 布斯富豪榜上列出的最有钱的400位美国人,请他们宣誓,在有生之年或者死后至少捐出50%的家产,用于慈善事业。

各富豪积极响应

据悉, 6月16日当天已有4个家族同意发表誓言,他们是房地产和建筑业大亨埃里·布洛德、风投资本家约翰·杜尔、媒体大亨格里·伦菲斯和前思科系统董事长约翰·莫格里奇。
此外,福布斯也对部分亿万富翁们进行了调查,了解他们的看法。
涉足石油、房地产和超市领域的亿万富翁约翰·卡特斯马蒂迪斯表示:“对我来说,现在开始捐献所有财富还过早,我想等一下。”
欧米茄顾问基金的列昂·库珀曼认为: “我们所有人都有回馈社会的道德义务。”
达拉斯小牛队老板马克·古班称: “每个人必须做出对他们最好的决定。”
投资者和保护动物权利激进分子集一身的加里·迈克尔逊表示: “我不会 (签署誓言),因为我不想成为公众人物,那会让我难堪。”
房地产大亨唐纳德·特朗普表示:“我喜欢赚钱,最终我将捐献很多钱。”

世界四大富豪慈善家



戈登?摩尔的一次特邀演讲中
《福布斯》杂志在2009年首次公布了累计捐款逾50亿美元的亿万富豪排行榜,巴菲特、盖茨、索罗斯和戈登·摩尔这4位大慈善家榜上有名。
“股神”沃伦·巴菲特
累计捐款数额:至少442亿美元(其中375亿美元为已承诺捐款)
慈善事迹:2006年6月25日,巴菲特签署捐款意向书,正式决定向5个慈善基金会捐出其财富的85%,约合375亿美元。这是美国和世界历史上最大一笔慈善捐款。
巴菲特的善款还有一个来源,那就是“与巴菲特共进午餐”的慈善拍卖活动。累计11次“巴菲特午餐”已拍得善款大约855.82万美元,全部捐给美国慈善机构格莱德基金会。
微软创办人比尔·盖茨 累计捐款数额:380亿美元(其中100亿美元为已承诺捐款)
慈善事迹:1994年,在父亲的建议下,盖茨拿出9400万美元以父亲威廉·盖茨的名义创立了基金会。1997年,他又创立了盖茨图书馆基金会,后来更名为盖茨学习基金会。2001年,盖茨将这两个基金会合并为“比尔与梅琳达·盖茨基金会”,成为全球最大的慈善基金组织。
2005年,盖茨在50岁生日时宣布,数百亿美元巨额财富将悉数捐献给社会,不会作为遗产留给子孙。

哈勃望远镜拍到的天堂

    1993年12月26日，美国太空总署的哈勃太空望远镜拍摄到的"天国世界"
"天国世界"或是"天堂"是否存在，对于有神论者和无神论者来说，永远是"信者恒信，不信者恒不信"的两极。对于眼见为实的人来说，看不见的东西在理智上难以相信；有时就算看见了，也会在情感上极力抵制。以下这个案例，可以再次考验一下大家的理智和情感。
哈勃太空望远镜意外"看见奇迹"
16年前，美国太空总署（NASA）的太空人在维修过哈勃太空望远镜之后，出现了不可思议的奇迹，当望远镜聚焦在遥远天际的一个星团，竟意外地拍摄到宇宙中璀璨的"天国世界"。
事情发生在1993年12月26日。这些照片清楚地显示出，在茫茫的夜空当中有一大片光耀灿烂的城市。这简直就是现实生活中的神话故事！
1994年2月8日，《世界新闻周刊》（Weekly World News）率先发表这张照片，并报导了女研究员梅森博士（Marcia Masson）的这项发现。
这是一个极为震撼人的消息！《世界新闻周刊》的网站上发表的只是一张图片，但实际上哈勃太空望远镜传回美国马里兰州格林贝尔特的戈达德太空飞行中心的图片有几百张。
梅森博士进一步说明了事件的来龙去脉："哈勃太空望远镜的目的，原本是为拍摄远在宇宙边缘的图像，但是镜头一度发生故障，直到有太空人奉令去将它修复。修复完成后，该望远镜传回的第一张图片是千变万化的色彩和亮光。当调整聚焦后，传回的图片出现了天国城市。"
美国太空总署分析家惊呆了，他们都不敢相信自己的眼睛。"经过检查和再检查，他们的结论是‘图像是真的'。他们还推论，那个城市不可能是由我们已知的生命 在居住。"梅森博士引述美国太空总署内部专家的话："因为就我们所知，人体生命是不可能存在于一个冰冷的、没有空气的太空中。"梅森博士说："我们发现的 是上帝居住的地方。"
"就是它，它就是我们一直在等待的证据！"相信有神存在的梅森博士兴奋地说。她相信那些千变万化的色彩和亮光来自于神的世界。
美国太空总署的专家证实，此图片引起美国前总统克林顿和副总统高尔的兴趣，他们要求太空总署提出简报。
发现改变全人类思维和信仰的东西
1993年，美国太空总署还曾接受教皇约翰．保罗二世（2005年去世）的要求，将照片传给他。由于美国太空总署拒绝对《世界新闻周刊》的照片报导作出评 论，所以梵蒂冈方面低调处理保持沉默。但太空总署专家们承认，美国太空总署"已发现到一些有可能改变未来全人类思维和信仰的东西了"。
获得太空总署那一张照片副本的梅森博士认为，拍摄到神的世界绝不是偶然的，她说："歪打正着，超级好运之下，美国太空总署哈勃望远镜瞄准了特定的地点，在 特定的时间里拍摄到了这些照片。宇宙那么广阔，所有地方都是美国太空总署可以拍摄探索的对象，为何会偏偏选中那里呢？我没有特定的宗教信仰，但是我并不怀 疑是一种神秘的力量，让哈勃望远镜对准了某一个特定的太空位置。"
美国太空总署一直没有把所发现、所拍摄的宇宙真实情况告诉大众，哈勃太空望远镜拍摄的天国世界终于被梅森博士透露出来。
究竟科学和神学是否是抵触的？这个例子值得深思。当然，有些网上的讨论认为梅森博士一个人的话不足采信。那么，或许世人公认的顶级科学家——牛顿和爱因斯坦的看法值得参考一下。
附：牛顿和爱因斯坦的见解
牛顿是一位公认的天才科学家，他在天文、地理、数学、神学等方面都有辉煌的成就，他最有名的著作《自然科学的数学原理》是近代科学的基石。
哈雷是牛顿的好友，英国著名天文学家，哈雷彗星的轨道就是他所推算的，他不相信宇宙中一切的天体是神创造的。有一次，牛顿造了一个太阳系模型，中央是一个镀金的太阳，四周各大行星各照各的位置排列整齐，一拉曲柄，各星球立即按照自己的轨道和谐地转动，形象非常美妙。
有一天，哈雷来访，看到这个模型，玩弄了好久，惊叹不已，追问这是谁造的。牛顿回答说，这个模型没有人设计和制造，只不过是偶然间各种材料凑巧碰在一起而形成的。哈雷说，无论如何必定有人造它，并且是位天才。
这时牛顿拍着哈雷肩膀说："这个模型虽然精巧，但比起真正太阳系，实在算不上什么，你尚且相信一定有人制造它；而比这个模型精巧亿万倍的太阳系，岂不是应该有全能的神，用高度智慧创造出来的？"哈雷恍然大悟，终于相信神的存在。
事实上，牛顿也是位神学家，毕生致力于神学的研究。他谈到自己的科学成就时说，他只不过是在"追随神的思想"，"照神的思想去思想而已"。他总结对宇宙万物的看法说："宇宙万物，必定有一位全能的神在掌管、统治。在望远镜的末端，我看到了神的踪迹。"
被许多人尊为最伟大的科学家爱因斯坦又是如何看待神学的？在一次访谈中，爱因斯坦说："有些人认为宗教不合乎科学道理。我是一位研究科学的人，我深切知 道，今天的科学只能证明某种物体的存在，而不能证明某种物体不存在。因此如果我们现在还不能证明某种物体的存在，并不能断定它就是不存在。"
爱因斯坦进一步举出发现"原子核"的例子说："譬如若干年前，我们未能证明原子核的存在，假如当时我们贸然断定原子核不存在，则在今天看来，不就犯了天大的错误吗？"
访谈最后，爱因斯坦说到他相信"神"的存在：今天科学没有把神的存在证明出来，是由于科学还没有发展到那种程度，而不是神不存在。人的眼、耳、鼻、舌、身五种感觉是有限制的，对很多事物无法感觉到，科学也无法否认神的存在。因此，我们不该武断的否定神的存在。

Psalms 62:12 "And Thee, O Lord, belongs covenant love, for Thou rewardest every man according to his work"

On the morning the Lord visited us in that room, He took us by the hand and we started to go down.  My heart was totally full of fear, I can't even describe it.  I just knew that I could not loosen the hand of my Savior.  I felt that Jesus was my Life and my Light and all my hope was in Him; otherwise I would be left behind in that place.  I never thought that I would ever go to that place.  I didn't even believe such a place existed.  Even as a Christian, I had always thought that purgatory was Hell, but God showed me the reality of Hell. 

When we arrived in Hell, I felt the place shook.  And all the demons there ran to hide, because not one of them could endure the presence of the Lord.  We heard the captive souls shout even louder, because they knew that Jesus of Nazareth was there.  They all knew that there was just one person that could possibly get them out.  They had that hope, even though it was a false hope.

We walked hand in hand with Jesus, and arrived at the section of fornication.  Jesus turned to look at a woman who was totally covered with the fire.  When Jesus saw her, she started to go out slowly from the fire, although her sufferings never stopped.   We could see she was totally naked and saw all of her physical characteristics.  Her body was totally dirty, and she stunk.  Her hair was all messed up, and she had a yellowish green mud on her.  She had no eyes and her lips were falling to pieces.  She had no ears, just the holes.  With her hands, which were bones charred black, she took the flesh that was falling from her face and tried to put it back on.  But this gave her even worse pain. 

She then shook and shouted even more; her shouts never ended.  She was full of worms, and there was a serpent wrapped around her arm.  It was very thick and had thorns around its body.  She had the number 666 engraved on her body; the number of the Beast mentioned in the book of Revelation. (Revelation 13:16-18)  She also had a metal plate embedded on her chest, made from some unknown metal, it was never consumed by the fire.  On the plate was something written in a strange language, but we could understand what was written on it.  It read, "I am here because of fornication." 

When Jesus saw her He asked her, "Elena, why are you in this place?"  While Elena was answering the Lord her body twisted with the pain of her torments. She said that she was there because of fornication.  She asked the Lord for forgiveness over and over again. 

Then we started to see the event of her death.  When she died, she was having sex with one of her lovers, because she thought that the person she was living with was gone on a trip.  However, he came back from his job and found her in bed with someone else.  He then went to the kitchen and took a big knife and stuck it in Elena's back.  She died and was taken to Hell, exactly the way she died; totally naked. 

In Hell, everything materialized and she still had that big knife in her back, causing her great pain.  By this time, she had already been in Hell 7 years and she could remember each moment of her life and death.  She also remembered when someone tried to preach to her about Jesus; that He was the only one who could save her.  But now it was too late for her and everyone else in Hell. 

The Word of the Lord talks a lot about fornication, and it is very clear.  Fornication is having sexual relationships outside of marriage.  1 Corinthians 6:13 "Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, but God will destroy both of them.  Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body."  also in 1 Corinthians 6:18 "Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body."

When Jesus finished talking with her, she was covered with a big blanket of fire and we could no longer see her.  But we heard the sound of her flesh burning and those horrifying screams, I can't even describe them with words.

As we continued to walk with the Lord, He showed us all the people there: the idol worshipers, those who used and practiced witchcraft, the immoral, adulterers, liars, and homosexuals.  We were very scared, the only thing we wanted to do was leave.  But Jesus kept saying that it was necessary to look so we could tell others, so they might believe. 

We continued with Jesus, holding His hand even tighter.  We came to a section that really made an impression on me.  We saw a young man, 23 years old, suspended waist-high in the middle of a fire.  We couldn't see exactly what his torment was, but the number 666 was engraved on him.  He also had a metal plate on his chest that read, "I am here for being normal."  When he saw Jesus, he extended his hand towards Jesus begging for mercy.  The Word of God says in Proverbs 14:12 "There is a way that seems right to a person, but its end is the way of death."

When we read the plate that said "I am here for being normal", we asked the Lord, "Lord, how come!?  Is this possible that a person can come to this place for this reason?"  Then Jesus asked him, "Andrew, why are you here in this place?"  He answer, "Jesus, when I was on Earth, I thought that just killing and stealing were sins, and that is why I never tried to get close to you."  In Psalms 9:17 is says "The wicked shall be turned into Hell, all the heathen that forget God."

Andrew made a big mistake by classifying sins, like many people do today.  The Bible is very clear when it says that the wages of the sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. (Romans 6:23)  Further, when the Bible talks about sin, it never classifies sins, because all of them are just sins.  Andrew had the chance to know and accept Jesus but he didn't take the opportunity that God had given to him.  Maybe he had a thousand opportunities to know the Lord, but he never wanted to know Him and that was the reason he was there.  Then a big blanket of fire covered his body and we never saw him again.

We continued walking with Jesus.  In the distance we saw something falling down, like chunks of material.  When we got closer, we saw that it was people that were falling into Hell at that moment.  People that just died on the Earth without having accepted Jesus Christ in their hearts, they were arriving in Hell. 

We saw a young man, many demons ran towards him and began to destroy his body.  Immediately his body began to fill with worms.  He shouted, "No!  What is this? Stop!  I don't want to be in this place!  Stop it!  This must be a dream!  Take me out of this place!"  He didn't even know that he was dead, and that he died without Jesus in his heart.  The demons were making fun of him and always tormenting his body.  Then the number 666 appeared on his forehead, and a metal plate on his chest.  Even if we couldn't see the reason he came to Hell, we knew for sure that he would never get out again. 

The Lord told us that the torments of all these people in Hell would be even stronger on the day of the Judgment.  If they are suffering in such a terrible and horrifying way now I can't  imagine how will they suffer after the day of the Judgment. 

We didn't see any children there.  We just saw thousands and thousands of young people; men and women of many nationalities.  Nevertheless, in hell there are no more nationalities or social levels, all come to be tormented and punished.  There was one thing that everybody wanted, and that was a chance to go out, at least for a second. They also wanted to have one drop of water to refresh their tongues, like the story of the rich man in the Bible. (Luke 16:19)  But this wasn't possible anymore, they choose where they wanted to spend their eternity.  They decided to spend it without God.  God never sends anyone to the Hell, everyone arrives there according to their own acts.  In Galatians 6:7 "Make no mistake, God will not be mocked.  What a person sows, he will reap."

Today you have the great opportunity to change your eternal destiny.  Jesus is still available now, and the Bible says that while we have life we also have hope.  Today you have life, don't miss this opportunity, it can be the last one. 

God bless you.

--- (5th Testimony) ---

The Word of God tells us in Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord"

When we went down there, I felt the pain and experience of being dead.  I was very frightened by what I saw.  I realized there were many, many people there; all were shouting and crying out.  It was total darkness, but with the presence of the Lord, the darkness disappeared.  We saw thousands and thousands of souls all crying out for help and mercy.  They cried out to the Lord to take them out of that place.  We also felt great pain because we knew the Lord suffered tremendously whenever He saw them. 

Many cried out to the Lord to take them out just for a minute, just for a second.  The Lord would ask them, "Why do you want to go out?", and they would answer, "Because I want to be saved!  I want to repent and be saved!"  However, it was too late for them.

Dear people that are listening to me now, now is the only opportunity to choose our eternal destination.  You can either choose an eternal place of salvation, or an eternal place of condemnation. 

We went down further.  I saw that the floor we were walking on was being destroyed by fire; mud and flames were coming out of it.  There was also a terrible smell everywhere.  We felt so upset and nauseous from the smell and the shouts of all the people. 

We saw a man, far away, who was waist deep in burning mud.  Whenever he took out his arms, the flesh from his bones would fall off, into the mud.  We could see a grey mist inside his skeleton, so we asked the Lord what it was.  This type of mist was in every person in hell.  The Lord told us it was their souls trapped inside of a sin body; like it is written in Revelation 14:11 "And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."

We began to understand many things that we had been ignoring on Earth; most importantly, the clearest message was that our lives on Earth determine where we spend eternity. 

As we walked hand in hand with the Lord, we realized the Hell had many different places with various levels of torment.  We came to a place with many cells which contained tormented souls.  The souls were being tormented by many types of demons.  The demons would curse the souls, saying, "You cursed wretch, praise Satan!  Serve him like you did when you were on Earth!"  The souls suffered terribly from the worms; and the fire was like an acid over all their body. 

We saw two men inside one prison cell, each had daggers in their hands and were stabbing each other.  They would say to each other, "You cursed wretch!  It's because of you that I'm here!  You made me come here because you blinded me to the truth and didn't let me recognize the Lord!  You didn't let me receive Him!  Many times I had the chance and you didn't let me accept Him!  That is why I'm here, tormented day and night!" 

Through a vision, the Lord showed us their lives on Earth.  We saw them in a bar together.  An argument started which lead to a fight.  They were already drunk.  One of them took a broken bottle and the other pulled out a knife.  They fought until each one was mortally wounded and died.  The two men were doomed to repeat that scenario forever.  They were also tormented by the memory that they had been best friends on the Earth, like brothers in their love for each other. 

I want to tell you today, there is just one real friend, and His name is Jesus of Nazareth.  He is the real friend.  He is the faithful friend, who is with you at every moment.

As we continued walking and we saw a woman inside another cell, she was rolling over in the mud.  Her hair was all messed up and full of mud.  Inside the same cell was a big and fat snake.  It move close to her, surrounded her body, and went inside of her starting with her lower parts.  She was forced to have sexual contact with that snake.  In that place all the men and women that lived in fornication were forced to repeat it there.  However, they had to do it with snakes covered with 6 inch spikes.  The snake destroyed her body every time it went inside of her.  She cried out to the Lord and asked Him to stop it.  She did not want to suffer any more. "Make it stop!  I won't do it again!  Please!  Make it stop!" she begged the Lord as the snake came inside and destroyed her body over and over again. 

We tried to cover our ears to her cries but we could still hear her.  We tried even harder to cover our ears, but that didn't help.  We said the Lord, "Please Lord we don't want to see and hear to this anymore!  please!"  The Lord said, "It is necessary that you see this, so you can tell the rest, because my people are being destroyed, my people are ignoring the true salvation, the true road to the salvation."

We continued walking and we saw a giant lake with thousand and thousands of people in the midst of flames.  They waved their hands asking for help, but there were many demons flying over that place.  These demons used spears with S-curved spearheads to hurt all the people burning in that lake.  The demons mocked and cursed them saying, "You cursed wretch!  Now you must worship Satan!  Praise him, praise him as you did when you were on the Earth!"  There were thousands and thousands of people.  We were so scared, we felt that if we did not hold the Lord's hand we would be left in that horrifying place.  We were terrified from the things we were feeling.

In the distance we saw a man standing up, who was very great pain and agony.  He had two demons flying over him, tormenting him.  They would dig their spears inside his body and take out his ribs.  They also made fun of him all the time.  Even further, the Lord showed me that he was tormented from always worrying about the family he had left on the Earth.  The man didn't want his family to arrive in the same place of torment.  He was worried because he never gave them the message of salvation.  He was tormented because he remembered that they once had the chance to receive this message.  He was a very important person to give this message to his family, but he preferred to ignore it, and now he was worried about his sons and his wife. 

The torment continued as the demons cut off his arms, he fell into the burning mud.  Because of the pain from the burning mud, he wiggled like a worm from one place to another.  His flesh fell from his bones because of the heat.  He then started to slither like a snake, trying to get out of there.  But every time he tried to go, the demons pushed him back and he went deeper inside the mud.

We then saw a number of demons in one place.  Something caught my attention, I noticed that one of the demons was missing a wing.  I asked the Lord, "Lord, why is this demon missing one wing?"  The Lord said, "That demon was sent up to the Earth with one purpose, but he did not accomplish his task, and he was cast back to Hell by one of the servants of God.  Then Satan came and punished him, and cut off one of his wings."  Then we understood that as Christians, we have all authority and power in the Name of Jesus to cast out all demons and principalities. 

Dear friends that are listening these words right now, this testimony is not for condemnation but salvation; so you can test yourself and see the condition of your heart before the Lord.  This is so that you can change your ways, for salvation and not for condemnation.  Right now, lift your heart before the Lord and confess your sins, so if the Lord came at this moment you could go with Him instead of going to that place of torment where there is crying and gnashing of teeth.  There, you will really understand why Jesus paid such a high price at Calvary's cross. 

We saw many people in Hell who were ignorant of why they were there.  Their lives were full of activities that they didn't think were sins.  Dear friend, test yourself!  Do not think that lying, stealing, being vain are okay things to do!  These are all sin before the eyes of the Lord!  Dear brothers, turn away and stop doing these things!  I'm giving you this message so you can stop willfully sinning, and look even more to the face of the Lord.

--- (4th Testimony) ---

God bless you brothers.  When the Lord took my hand, I could see that I was standing on a rock, and behind us, I saw an angel.  We began to go down through a tunnel with incredible speed.  Quickly, I turned and saw that the angel was gone, and I felt so afraid.  I asked the Lord, "Lord, where is the angel?  Why is he not here anymore?"  The Lord said, "He cannot go where we are about to go." 

We continued downward and then stopped abruptly, like an elevator.  I saw several tunnels; and we went through the one my sister Sandra spoke about.  The tunnel where people were hanging off of hooks by their heads, with shackles on their wrists.  The wall that had people on it seemed infinitely long.  Millions of people were hanging on it.  They had worms all over their bodies.  I looked ahead and saw that there was another wall, exactly the same as the other.  I said to the Lord, "Lord!  There are so many people in this place!"  Instantly, a scripture verse entered my mind; one that I did not recognize.  The Lord told me, "Hell and Sheol are always hungry."  (Proverbs 27:20)

We left there and soon arrived at a place we called, "The Valley of the cauldrons".  These cauldrons were full of a boiling mud, and we got close to one of them.  The first person that I saw was a woman.  Her body floated and sank with the boiling mud, but when the Lord looked at her, she stopped moving and remained suspended in the mud at waist-level.  The Lord asked, "Woman what is your name?"  She answered, "My name is Rubiella." 

Her hair was full of boiling mud and flesh hung from her bones, which were charred black from the fire.  Worms entered through the holes of her eyes, came out from her mouth, entered again through her nose and exited her ears.  When the worms could not enter, they simply made a hole to enter the other parts of the body, which caused indescribable pain. 

She shouted, "Lord, please!  Take me out of this place.  Have mercy on me!  I can not continue like this any longer!  Make it stop Lord!  I can not stand it any more!  Please have mercy on me!"  The Lord asked her why she was there.  She said she was there because of vanity, which was the same word written on the metal plate on her chest.  In her hand was a normal looking bottle, but to her it appeared to be a very expensive perfume.  Rubiella had to take the bottle, which was full of acid, and spray it all over her body.  This caused, all the flesh that was sprayed to melt, causing her great pain. 

She shouted to the Lord, "Lord please, have mercy on me!  I can not be here any longer! Just a single second Lord."  I am not saying that it is a sin to use a perfume, but the Lord told us that the woman was there because of her perfume, as the Word of the Lord tells us in Deuteronomy 5:7 "You shall not have other gods before me." She was there because her beauty, perfumes, and vanity were first place in her life.  However, the Lord Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords!  He has to be the first in your life; that is why she was there.  With sadness, the Lord looked at her and said, "Rubiella, it is too late for you, worms shall be your bed, and worms shall cover you."  When the Lord said that, a blanket of fire totally covered her.  While her body was being consumed inside that cauldron, she suffered horrible pain.

We then got far away from there and arrived at a place with giant doors.  As we approached them, they opened for us.  On the other side we saw a giant cavern.  As I looked up I saw different color lights were moving like a cloud of smoke.  Suddenly, we heard music; salsa, ballenato, rock, and different kinds of popular music that people hear on the radio.  The Lord made a movement with His hand, and we saw millions and millions of people hung up with chains in their hands.  They were jumping wildly over the fire.

The Lord looked at us and said: "Look, these are the wages for the dancers."  They had to jump wildly up and down to the beat of the music.  If salsa was playing, they had to jump to that beat, if any other kind of music was playing, they had to jump to that beat.  They could never stop jumping.  But worse than that, their shoes had 6 inch spikes on the bottom.  Whenever they jumped it would pierce their feet, and they never had a moment's rest.  When someone would try to stop, demons would come at once and stab them with spears, cursed them, and saying, "Praise him!  This is your kingdom now, Praise Satan!  Praise him!  You can't stop, praise him!  Praise him!  You have to praise him!  You have to jump! You have to dance!  You can not stop one single second." 

It was terrible that many of the people were Christians who knew the Lord, but they were in night clubs when they died.  Maybe you are asking, "Where does it say in the Bible that it is wrong to dance?"  In James 4:4, the Word of God says: "Do you not realize, you adulteresses, that friendship with the world is enmity toward God?  Therefore, whoever determines to be a friend of the world becomes God's enemy."  Also, in 1 John 2:15-17, "Neither love the world nor the things in the world.  Whoever loves the world has not the Father's love in his heart, because everything in the world, the passions of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the proud display of life have their origin not from the Father but from the world.  And the world with its lust passes away, but he who does the will of God remains for ever."  Remember the world will pass away, all this will perish, but the one who does the will of God stands forever. 

My friends and brothers, when we left this place, we saw something like bridges that divided hell into different sections of torment.  We saw a spirit walking over a footbridge.  It looked just like a doll that we have seen on the Earth; we call them Treasure Trolls.  They have different color hair, with an old man's face but a kid's body; without sexual parts.  Their eyes are full of evil.  The Lord explained that these were spirits of loss.  This spirit had a spear in his hands and was walking pompously on that footbridge, like he was royalty. 

As he walked, he stabbed people down below his spear.  He would curse them saying, "Remember the day you were outside of a Christian church and you did not want to come inside?  Remember the day they preached to you and you did not want to listen?  Remember the day they gave you a gospel tract and you threw it away?"  The lost souls would try to cover the area where their ears used to be.  They would reply to the demon, "Shut up!  Shut up!  Don't tell me anymore!  I don't want to know more, shut up!"  However, the evil spirit enjoyed doing that because of the pain it inflicted on the souls.

We continued walking with the Lord.  Upon looking at a mass of people, we noticed one man was shouting louder than the others who were burning there.  He was saying, "Father, Father, have mercy on me!"  The Lord was not going to stop to look at this man, but when He heard the words "Father" He shook and turned around.  Jesus looked at him and told him, "Father?  You call me Father? No, I am not your Father and neither are you my son.  If you were my son, you would now be with me in the Kingdom of Heaven.  You are sons of your father the devil."  Immediately a blanket of fire came up and totally covered his body. 

The Lord told us the story of this man's life.  The man called Him Father because he had known Him.  He used to go to church and listen to God through His Word, and he had received many promises of God.  So we asked, "What happened Lord?  Why is he here then?"  The Lord replied, "He was living a double life; he lived one way at home, and another at church.  He thought in his heart, 'Well, there is no one that lives close to me, not the pastor or any other brother, so I can do whatever I want'.  But he forgot that the eyes of the Lord are set on all our ways and that no one can lie or hide from the Lord." 

The Word of the Lord tells us, "Don't lie to your selves God can not be deceived.  Because everything a man sows, the same he will harvest."  (Galatians 6:7) This man was suffering a thousand times worse than others.  He was paying a double condemnation: one for his sins, and one for thinking he could deceive the Lord. 

Today, people try to rank the gravity of sins; they think that homosexuals, thieves, and murderers are greater sinners than liars or gossips.  But in the eyes of the Lord, all these sins have the same weight and the same pay.  The Bible tells us, "The wages of sin is death" "the soul that sins will die." (Romans 6:23) (Ezekiel 18:20)  My friends and brothers, I invite you now to accept Jesus' invitation.  Jesus is extending His hand of mercy to you if you repent.  The Word of the Lord tells us that the one that changes his ways and repents will be given mercy.  It is much better to believe now, than to wait and find out the hard way later.  God bless you.

--- (3rd Testimony, Sandra) ---

Let's go to the Word of the Lord in Matthew 10:28 "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell"

Whenever a soul arrives in hell, that person acquires a body of death.  The Lord Jesus took my hand and we began to go downwards through a very deep dark tunnel that led to the center of the Earth.  We arrived at a place with several doors; one of them opened and we entered with the Lord.  I would not let go of the Lord's hand, because I knew if I did, I would stay in hell forever.

Upon entering that door, I saw was an enormous wall.  There were thousands of people hung from their heads by hooks, with shackles that bound their hands to the wall.  We also saw many thousands of people standing in the midst of flames everywhere. 

We went in front of one of the flames and it started to go down slowly.  Soon I could see a person inside, and when he spoke, I could tell it was a man.  The man was wearing a priest's garments, which were totally filthy and shredded.  Worms were slithering inside and out, all over this man's body.  He looked charred and burnt by the fire.  His eyes were plucked out and his flesh was melting and falling to the ground.  But after the flesh would all fall off, it would grow back, and the whole process would resume. 

When he saw Jesus he said, "Lord have mercy on me, have mercy on me!  Please let me out of here just a moment!  Just a minute!"  On this man's chest was a metal plate that read, "I am here for robbery." 

When Jesus came close, He asked the man, "What is your name?"  The man answered, "Andrew, my name is Andrew, Lord"  The Lord asked him, "How long you have been here?"  Andrew answered, "I have been here for a very long time."  The man began to tell his story.  He said he had the responsibility of collecting tithes and organizing monetary distribution to the poor in his Catholic church.  However, he would steal the money instead.  With eyes full of compassion, the Lord asked the man, "Andrew, have you ever heard the gospel?"  Andrew replied, "Yes Lord, there was one Christian woman that went to the church and she preached the gospel once, but I didn't want to accept it.  I didn't want to believe it, but I believe it now!  Now I believe that this is real!  Please Lord take me out of here, at least just one moment!" 

As he was speaking, worms were crawling through his eye sockets, exiting his ears, and coming inside again through his mouth.  He tried to pull them off with his hands but it was impossible.  He was shouting horribly and kept begging God for mercy.  He kept asking Jesus to take him out of that place.  Even worse, there were demons tormenting him, constantly piercing him with their spears.  The demons looked just like one of the toy dolls that we have here on earth called "The Jordanos".  I saw those dolls in hell, but they were not dolls anymore; they were alive and demonic.  They were abut 3 feet tall and had very sharp teeth.  Blood came out of their mouths and their eyes were completely red. 

They were stabbing Andrew with all their might, as well as all of those who were in these parts of hell.  When I observed this, I asked the Lord how was it possible for a doll on the earth, to look exactly like that demon.  The Lord told me that those were spirits of sadness.

As we continued, we saw thousands of people in torment.  Whenever a soul saw the Lord, they tried to reach Him with their skinny hands.  I noticed a woman that started to shout when she saw Jesus.  She screamed, "Lord please have mercy on me!  Take me out of this place!"  She was suffering a lot and she extended her hands towards the Lord.  She kept begging Him to take her out of that place at least just one second.  She was totally naked and covered with mud.  Her hair was all dirty and worms were slithering up and down her body.  She tried to take them off with her hands, but every time she scraped some away they multiplied even more.  The worms were about 6-8 inches long.  The Word of the Lord says in Mark 9:44, "Where their worm never ceases and the fire is not put out"

It was so terrible seeing this woman and hearing her cries as the worms voraciously ate her flesh.  There was a metal plate embedded in her chest that could not be destroyed by the flames.  It read, "I am here for fornication."  In the same manner of her sin, this woman was forced to fornicate in hell with a very disgusting and fat snake.  The snake had huge thorns around its body, about 6-8 inches long.  The snake penetrated her private parts and traveled up her body to her throat.  When the snake entered her, she started to scream. 

She begged the Lord more intensely to take her out of that place, "Lord, I am here for fornication, I have been here for 7 years, since I died from AIDS.  I had six lovers, and I am here for fornication."  In hell she had to repeat her sin over and over.  She had no rest day or night, suffering the same way all the time.  She tried to extend her hands toward the Lord, but the Lord just told her, "Blanca, it is too late for you.  Worms shall be your bed, and worms shall cover you." (Isaiah 14:11)  When the Lord said those words, a blanket of fire covered her, and I could no longer see her.

We continued walking, seeing thousands and thousands of people.  There were young people, adults and elderly people suffering in torment.  We arrived in a place that looked like a big swimming pool of fire, with thousands of men and women inside of it.  Each of them had metal plate on their chest that read: "I am here for not giving tithes and offerings"  When I read that, I asked the Lord, "Lord, how can this be possible, that people are here for this reason??"  The Lord responded, "Yes, because these people thought that tithes and offerings were not important, when my Word shows it as a command."  In Malachi 3:8-9 it says "Will a man rob God?  Yet you are robbing Me.  But you say, 'How have we robbed Thee?'  In tithes and offerings.  You are cursed with curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you."

The Lord told me that when His people withhold their tithes, it hinders the work of the Lord, and then the Gospel is not preached.  People in this place suffered a thousand times worse than others, because they knew the Word of the Lord and disobeyed.

We continued walking and the Lord showed me a man. I could see from his waist to his head, and I started to have a vision of how he died.  His name was Rogelio.  He was in his car while a person got close to preach the gospel to him, and gave him a Bible.  But Rogelio ignored that person's warning and continued on his way, without knowing that a few minutes later his car would crash.  It fell into a precipice, and he soon died. 

The moment he crashed, the Bible opened to Revelation 21:8, "As for the cowardly, however, and the unbelieving, and the depraved, the murderers, the immoral, those practicing magic arts, and idolaters, and all liars- their lot is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur.  This is the second death."  When Rogelio read this verse, he died and arrived in hell. 

He had only been there one month and still had some flesh on his face.  However, he was suffering like everybody else.  At first, he did not know why he was in Hell.  I think when that Christian got close to his car, it was the only and last chance for him to accept the Lord Jesus.  The same way that many have had the opportunity to accept Him.  Today, I invite you to open your heart to Jesus; He alone is the way, the truth, the life. (John 14:6) Only through Him we can be saved into the Kingdom of Heaven.  (Acts 4:12) The Lord also asks us to follow His ways in holiness and honor.  God bless you.

--- (2nd Testimony, Lupe) ---

God bless you dear beloved brothers.  Let's read the Word of the Lord from Psalms 18:9. "He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under His feet"  When the Lord reached for my hand, I grabbed His hand and we started to descend down that tunnel.  The tunnel grew darker and darker to the point that I could not even see my other hand, that wasn't holding onto the Lord's hand. 

Suddenly, we passed something dark and sparkling; which was making noise.  The darkness was so dense, your hand could not even find the walls of the tunnel.  Our descent was so fast, that I felt like my soul was separating from my body. 

Soon I noticed a very rotten smell; like the smell of rotten flesh.  It was getting much worse each moment.  Then I heard the voices of millions and millions of souls. They were endlessly shouting, crying out and moaning.  I was so frightened that I turned to the Lord and said, "Lord where are you taking me?  Lord have mercy on me!  Please have mercy on me!"  The Lord only said, "It is necessary that you see this, so you can tell everyone else." 

We continued down through this horn-shaped tunnel until we arrived at place that was entirely dark.  Like pulling a heavy curtain from my eyes, I then saw millions and millions of flames.  Even worse, I heard these agonizing screams but couldn't see anyone.  I was really scared.  I said to the Lord, "Oh please Lord have mercy on me!  Oh please Lord have mercy on me! Don't take me to this place!  Forgive me!"  At this time, I didn't think that I was just a spectator in hell, I thought it was the day of reckoning.  Standing before the Lord Jesus, I was shaking violently because I really thought this was the end of my life. 

We drew closer to a big flame ahead of us; it was huge and burning with fury.  I continued going down slowly, seeing multitudes of flames and hearing millions of souls crying with one voice. 

Then I saw a wooden table that was not being consumed by the fire.  It had what appeared like beer bottles on it.  These looked refreshing, but they were full of fire.  As I was looking at this, a man suddenly appeared.  His flesh was almost completely destroyed and what was left of his clothes were muddy and burning.  He had lost his eyes, mouth, and all his hair from the fire.  He could see me, even though he had no eyes.  I tell you it is the soul of a person that thinks, reasons and truly sees; not your natural body. 

The man extended his skinny hand towards the Lord and started to cry out, saying, "Lord, have mercy on me!  Lord have mercy on me!  I am in pain!  I am burning!  Please have mercy and take me out of this place!"   The Lord looked at him with pity, and I started to feel something warm in my hand.  I looked and it was blood...the blood of Jesus!  The Lord's blood came from His hand while He was watching this suffering man engulfed in flames. 

Then the man turned his gaze in the direction of the table and walked towards the bottles.  He grabbed a bottle but as he was about to drink from it, fire and smoke shot out of the bottle.  He put his head back and screamed like I have never heard before.  He cried with such great pain and sorrow and then started to drink what was in this bottle.  But the bottle was full of acid and his throat was totally destroyed by it.  You could see the acid passing through his stomach and hurting him. 

The number 666 was engraved on the forehead of this man.  On his chest was a plate made of some unknown metal which couldn't be destroyed, not even by the heat or the worms.  It has some letters written on it, but we could not understand them.  The Lord, in His great mercy, gave us an interpretation of what was written.  "I am here because I am a drunkard."  He begged the Lord for mercy, but the Word of God is very clear when it tell us in 1 Corinthians 6:10 "thieves, greedy people, drunks, slanderers, and robbers will not inherit the kingdom of God."

The Lord showed me this man's last moments on earth, just like a movie or film.  It was like a big television screen showing me his last seconds before death.  The man's name was Luis and he was in a bar drinking.  I saw the same table and the same bottles in that bar.  Around this table were his friends.  (I can tell you this now, there is only ONE TRUE FRIEND, and His name is JESUS CHRIST.  He is the faithful friend.)  Luis was drinking and his friends were already drunk.  His best friend took a bottle, broke it and started stabbing Luis.  When he saw Luis lying on the floor he ran away, but Luis bled to death on the floor.  The saddest thing was that he died without the Lord. 

In the middle of all this, as all those souls in hell were crying out, I asked the Lord, "Oh Lord, please tell me, did this man know about you?  Did he know about your salvation?"  The Lord sadly replied, "Yes Lupe, he knew about me.  He accepted me as his personal savior, but he did not serve me."  Then I felt even more fear.  Luis cried louder and shouted, "Lord this hurts!  This hurts!  Please have mercy on me!"  He extended his hand again towards the Lord, but Jesus took my hand instead and we walked away from the flame.  The flames consuming Luis became more violent, and he cried louder, "Have mercy on me!  Have mercy on me!!"  He was then lost in the flames. 

We continued walking, this place was just so huge and scary!  We approached another flame and I said to the Lord, "Lord, no!  Please I don't want to see anymore of this! I beg you to forgive me!  Please forgive me!  I don't want to see this!"  So I closed my eyes, but it didn't matter, open or closed I still saw everything.  This flame started to go down slowly and I began to see a woman.  She was covered with mud, and the mud was full of worms.  She had very few hairs left, and she was caked with worm-infested mud.  She was consumed by worms all around and she shouted, "Lord have mercy on me!  Lord have mercy on me and forgive me!  Look at me!  This hurts!  Have mercy on me!  Take away these worms!  Take me out of this torment because it hurts so much!"  The Lord simply looked at her with great sorrow.  As we held His hand, we could feel the pain and sorrow in the Lord's heart for all the lost souls, eternally burning in the flames of hell. 

This woman had no eyes or lips, but she could still see and feel; all the pain was just stronger.  She had a bottle in her hands, full of acid, but she believed it was perfume.  I could see that it was acid and every time she sprayed her body, it burned her.  Nevertheless, she still kept applying this acid on her body over and over.  She kept saying that it was an expensive perfume.  She also believed that she was wearing a beautiful necklace, but all I saw were serpents wrapped around her neck.  She believed that she was wearing very expensive bracelets, but I saw they were actually worms, about a foot long, furiously digging into her bones.  She said that her jewelry was all she had, but I saw scorpions and worms all over her body.  She had a metal plate, that everyone wears in hell. It read "I am here for robbery." 

This woman had no remorse for her sin.  The Lord asked her, "Magdalena, why are you in this place?"  She answered, "It didn't bother me to steal from others.  The only thing I cared about was having my jewelry and getting more expensive perfumes.  I didn't care who I robbed, as long as I looked good." 

I held onto Christ's hand as I saw the worms burrow through her entire body.  Magdalena turned around looking for something.  I asked the Lord once more, "Lord, did this person know about you?"  And the Lord answered, "Yes, this person knew me." 

Magdalena started to look around, saying, "Lord where is that woman who talked to me about You?  Where is she?  I have been in hell for 15 years."  All people in hell can remember everything.  Magdalena kept asking, "Where is this woman?  I can't see her!"  I knew her body could not turn around because her flesh remained in the same position.  She tried to turn and look into other flames, to find that woman who talked to her about God.  The Lord replied, "No!  No, Magdalena, she is not here.  That woman that told you about Me is with Me in the Kingdom of Heaven." 

Upon hearing this, she threw herself down in the flames and which burned her even more.  Her metal plate condemned her as a thief.  I want you to read in the Word of the Lord in Isaiah 3:24. "It shall be, that instead of a sweet smell, there will be rottenness; instead of a girdle, a rope; instead of well-set hair, baldness; instead of a rich robe, a wrapping of sack-cloth; instead of beauty, a branding mark."

As we continued walking with the Lord, I saw a very big column filled with worms.  Around it was a slide made of red-hot metal.  On this column there was a brightly-lit billboard that could be seen from anywhere.  The Billboard read, "Welcome all liars and gossipers."  At the end of the slide was a small boiling lagoon.  It looked like burning brimstone.  Then I saw a totally naked person coming down the slide.  As they slid, their skin would peel off and stick to the slide.  When they fell into the burning lagoon, their tongue expanded until it exploded and worms appeared in place of the tongue.  This began their torment.  The Word of God says in Psalm 73:18-19 "Surely you did set them in slippery places: you cast them down into destruction.  How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors."

After seeing this, we were taken back, out of Hell.  I just want to tell you that Heaven and Hell are even more real than this physical world that we know.  It is here where you decide what direction you want to go; to spend eternity with Jesus or to a burning hell.  The Lord kept saying to us, "Without holiness no man will see me, without holiness no man will see me."  (Hebrews 12:14) That is why I tell you the same thing now, "Without holiness you can not see the Lord."
