Message 11
What would it be like if you had the chance as a prophet to speak to a prophet who has passed onto glory who has now come to earth to take you back to heaven? Bob Jones takes me to visit the Galactic Council in heaven.
Bob:
Hi Matthew. How are you?
Matthew:
I had a good sleep. I am well rested. I have had some attack from the enemy over these encounters. Other than that I am petty good.
Bob:
Ready to go?
Matthew:
Yes. Wow. I am here already.
Jesus has tears in his eyes again. He is hugging me and showing me to the table. He waves his hand to show me the audience and has me take my seat.
Jesus:
If is only natural that Satan would attack you through your mind Matthew. He is asking what is the point of all of this? How are the readers going to benefit?
Matthew:
Yes. That is what he is asking though my thoughts.
Jesus:
What could be harmful for you to see me each day and get to know each other better? What would be boring about people of the faith speaking to you each day? The enemy is just scared. We have had thousands of conversations in the past. You could ask what is the point of them if you can’t even remember what what was said in them. The point of them is that we have a wonderful relationship now and one that is grounded in love and experience. I have been with you through thick and thin.
The saints want to do life with you. They want to grow to be close to you. You are going to be refreshed with what they say and you are going to grow in your love for them, and your faith in me through all of it. The readers will keep reading as they learn more and more about the saints, about their faith and about everything that they talk about.
There is always al element of truth in Satan’s lies. There is always something that hurts. The very fact that he is attacking you is all the more the reason to proceed.
Matthew:
Why were you crying?
Jesus:
I know how you were feeling. I know you were under attack. I know if we didn’t start this you would not have been getting attacked in this way. I love you Matthew. I don’t like it when you are under stack. They were tears of compassion. I love you so much. The hard thing about the spiritual life is that it is a war and people get hurt.
Matthew:
I am feeling better now.
Jesus reaches out and hugs me. The whole table of 12 get up and motion for me to hug them all. I go around one by one and hug them all. Each of them tell me that they love me as they pull me close.
Bob:
You are champion Matthew. Just like June, your friend calls you. Do you know that this is way out there? This has not been done in this format before. You are a forerunner of this. We want all you readers to become hungry for heaven and encounters and want some of their own. We want to open up a gate to heaven through this book. I am so proud of you. We knew that your attack was coming and we couldn’t tell you about it. You had to weather it by yourself and overcome.
It is only what people overcome by faith that they have authority in to help others. God is his wisdom allows people to suffer and have trials not for the sake of the suffering but for the redeeming sake. You for instance had a long battle with prostitutes. You were addicted for years. Then you overcame it and broke free. Your testimony then has power over other people who have had the same struggle.
More recently you had deliverance and you broke free of a pornography addiction that you have had all your life. You had tried everything to break free and now you are free. In a while you are going to write a book about your struggle and everything you tried and you will end the book with the website of the man that you got your deliverance from so other people can seek him out. If you had not struggled for as many years as you did, you story would not be as powerful. You feel on top of the world and so free. You have great faith in this deliverance minister now. You know that anyone that wants to break free should try him out.

They are two struggles that you have had. You have struggled with so much though in your life. The struggles and the suffering is what makes you such a powerful person in the kingdom. The fact that you had struggles does not disqualify you but rather the opposite it qualifies you to speak on these things.
This recent struggle that you had this morning with Satan opposing you coming here. This will bear fruit. People who read this will see if they are going to ascend and meet with Jesus and saints in heaven, and they make a practice of it, then they also will have opposition. They also will learn to run to Jesus and let him speak them through it until they are comfortable.
So you see struggles are a part of life and yet through overcoming them we clear out a path that can help other people who encounter the same struggles later. You are loved so much. You see we did not warn you as you needed to have the full impact of the struggle so that your testimony was secure and helpful to others.
Matthew:
I see that now. Well all my struggles are out there now. I have to laugh. Things have their own way of happening when I am up here. If I was choosing what should be said up here half the conversations wouldn’t happen. When Grace, my grandmother, said those great things about me I wanted to hide. But now here you are telling everyone about my sexual struggles and once again I am cringing. I guess there is balance in the account now. If they were thinking I was high and mighty they may have changed their minds now and realised that I am a fallen man who is simply love sick for Jesus.
Paul:
That is why I had to say that I was the greatest sinner Matthew. People met me and saw my life and thought they could never live up to the life that I was leading. There is wisdom in sharing what you have been through that is distasteful. People have an easier time relating to you if they see that you are a person that is just like them.
People grab hold of my words and hear that I was the greatest of sinners and assume that I continued to be the greatest of sinners. That is incorrect of them to assume. The message of my life was that the grace of God can help you walk in new life. But a new life isn’t very powerful if you didn’t have an old life.
I consider it real wisdom for Bob to share with the readers some of your struggles. The last thing we want people thinking is that you are some great person who is better then everyone else and for them to get the opinion that you can come here because you are so special and yet because they are ordinary that they can’t come.
Sure, you are unique. It is true you are very special to Jesus and everyone in heaven knows who you are. It was true what Jesus said when the woman washed his feet with her tears. He said that one that has been forgiven much actually loves much. It is true that you have stood out as a saint that is really something special. But with that being said, you only love so much because you have been though so much.
The Christian life can be treated with disdain and with a lack of respect. Many people don’t put their whole heart into their Christian life. Many people just coast along and Jesus doesn’t seem to be too important to them. There is not many Christians where Jesus is their very breath and the world holds no allure to them. Many Christians love the world and all it has to offer and therefore don’t ever become as full-on as you. In that way you are s special breed. You have nothing to live for outside of God’s will for your life. You have no job, you are on a pension so you have no life outside of writing your books and doing personal prophecies for people. You don’t have any interest in living like the world does.
The people of God need to realize that fancy clothes, fancy cars, fancy iphones and apple products, and all manner of expensive possessions don’t buy you favor with God. The idea that you have to more and more is snare and it is a very crafty snare that Satan uses. I said this very clearly in scripture.
We should not get caught up with the things of the world:
2 Timothy 2:3-4 (NKJV)
3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.
The average Christian would not consider that that they are entangled with the things of this world, but they are. They are addicted to the world and all that it offers them. If that were not so, they would welcome death easier.
I speak of the love of money being a snare, but it is not just the love of money, it is the love of the world and all that is in it.
Timothy 6:6-10 (NKJV)
6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Many people read that scripture passage that you have put in there Matthew and they say to themselves that they are not in love with money and so they are not who I am speaking of.
But sadly few people understand that the world and all its desires takes money to accumulate. I am surprised at how selfish the Christian church has become in these days.
What I love about you my friend is that you have a love for God and his will above all else in the world. Sure you live in world that requires money to live, but you get by with less so that you can invest the majority of your money on making books. It’s funny so many people ask you why you sell most of your books for 99 cents and they can’t seem to grasp that you would simply give them away if Amazon let you do that. People cannot work out why you would spend thousands to produce books only to give them away so cheap. These people are thinking of worldly ways and not Godly ways.
Matthew:
Yes, I have to explain that a lot. People don’t seem to even get it when I share the reason with them that I want to make my books so cheap that money doesn’t stop them getting them.
I don’t think I will ever put my books up in price. While ever God supplies me the money to produce books, they will be the cheapest that I can make them. I even went to the effort to make one of my best books permanently free on Amazon and couple of hundred people download that each month.
Paul:
It is so good to talk to you and your readers. I have really come to love you over the years. I have watched you all of your life. I have known all of your life that I was going to be meeting you each day. I have known that this was going to happen. I am so excited to speak to you.
I know that you find my writing hard to follow for the most part. I would prefer that you say that then pretend that you understand it and go along with what other people say about my scriptures.
I know that you admire me for the suffering that I went though and the fact that I was so bold.
Every time you slept with a prostitute and walked out of there feeling worthless and condemned I cried for you. I have cried so many tears over your life. All those tens of thousands of dollars you spent to be touched, to be listened to, to connect with a woman, all of those dollars you spent trying to connect with love ripped my heart to pieces. But you went on and on, you were drowning in this world that doesn’t seem to love you. All of heaven watched you. We were all watching everything.
And now here you are speaking to us. And here we are speaking to you. And now I get the chance to speak to you face to face. I am so happy that you have overcome. I am happier still with the person that you have become. You are a soldier that does not entangle yourself with the affairs of this world.
Jesus said that we cannot serve to masters. He said we will end up loving one and despising the other if we try. Then he went on to say that we can’t love God as well as money and possessions. The problem with the church is that they love their money and possessions and they secretly despise God even though they praise him. This is why churches preach that you can have expensive cars, expensive houses and all that you want and still serve God. They preach a message that is very appealing but the rule still applies whether you know it or not. These wealthy lavish living Christians don’t have rich relationships with God. They may say that they do. But Jesus’ words don’t lie.
Of course, you can be wealthy and have all the best the world can offer, and have a passionate love affair with Jesus if you are giving much of your wealth to the poor and to God. I wrote about that also:
1 Timothy 6:17-19 (NKJV)
17 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. 18 Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, 19 storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
So there is a way that you can have the best that the world can offer and also be in the will of God and not loving the world and its lusts, but few people ever achieve that balance in their life.
God knows your attitude to money Matthew and that is why he is confident that he can pour money and blessings on your ministry and you will only ever spend the money on him and his ministry in your life. We need to speak to you at length here in your visits so people can get an idea of who you are and how you live so that you readers can also begin to live that way.
It is time for you to go now. I wish you goodbye. Give me a hug.
Matthew:
Thanks Paul. It was so refreshing to her from you. Thanks for the hug.
Bob:
Come on brother.
Matthew:
I don’t want to go.
Jesus:
You can come any time you choose. We have to look out for your readers and not give them too much to process at a time. We’ll see you later on. Bye now.
Matthew
I found myself back on earth.
Bye Bob.
Bob:
Bye Matthew.
