I WENT TO HEAVEN, SPOKE WITH ADAM, GOD, AND ANGELS - KALYANGO JOEL
Encounter with Adam: A Light Being
"When I touched him, I would know he has bones."
- Kalyango Joel recounts a transformative experience in which he claims to have touched Adam, before the fall from grace, identifying him as a light being. Adam, according to Joel, lacked blood but possessed a physical structure including bones, establishing a mystical connection between the spiritual and the physical. This moment illustrates a profound understanding of human creation and the essence of being, distinguishing between the pre- and post-sin states.
Divine Connection and the Quest for Truth
"God is bringing truth into your heart."
- Joel emphasizes the importance of seeking truth as part of one's spiritual journey. He asserts that God sends revelations to those genuinely desiring to connect with Him. This personal testimony highlights a belief that divine truths will resonate in the hearts of those engaged in a sincere search for God, ultimately inspiring them to deepen their faith and connection.
Out-of-Body Experience
"I saw someone sleeping in my bed, wearing my clothes, and looking exactly like me."
- Describing his out-of-body experience, Joel expresses the moment he realized he had left his physical body. This realization happened when he observed a figure resembling himself peacefully sleeping. This encounter led him to understand that the realm beyond physical life is interconnected with profound awareness and spiritual enlightenment, further emphasizing the idea that one's true essence transcends the physical form.
The Journey from Islam to Christianity
"In my search to know who Allah is, I ended up knowing that Christ is the way, the truth, and the life."
- Joel shares his journey transitioning from Islam to Christianity. Raised in a devout Muslim family, his desire to understand the prayers he was reciting in Arabic led him to question his faith deeply. Through his exploration, he encountered Christian teachings that resonated with him, particularly the concepts of love and forgiveness exemplified in Christianity, which ultimately culminated in him embracing Christ as his savior.
Spiritual Transformation after Conversion
"I may be following a crowd."
- After converting to Christianity, Joel reflects on his previous practices in Islam, admitting that he followed traditions without fully grasping their meanings. His desire to know God personally intensified as he sought genuine understanding beyond communal religious practices. He highlights the importance of a personal relationship with God, advocating for a search for truth that transcends rote practices, further driving home his message about the importance of personal spiritual encounters.
Searching for God
"I wanted to meet this God."
-
The speaker reflects on their childhood experiences, expressing a strong desire to connect with God. They recount feeling frustrated in church, thinking that perhaps God was physically located at the pulpit since everyone was facing it. This led to their unique approach of keeping their eyes open during prayers, so they could search for God.
-
The speaker engaged with pastors, inquiring about the possibility of seeing and speaking with God. However, their responses often fell short of providing the reassurance or clarity they sought, prompting a deeper personal quest for divine connection.
Discovering Biblical Evidence
"I knew it is possible to see God."
-
While reading the Bible, the speaker found verses that suggested a tangible relationship with God was possible. They mention John 14:21, where Jesus promises that God will reveal Himself to those who follow His will. Another verse from Hebrews 12:14 emphasizes pursuing peace and holiness as prerequisites to seeing the Lord.
-
Encouraged by these discoveries, the speaker decided to seek God actively through prayer and spiritual exploration, believing that if God could indeed show Himself, they would find a way to facilitate that encounter.
Nighttime Church Visits
"I would kneel down there in the night and start praying."
-
To increase their chances of meeting God, the speaker began visiting church alone at night, sometimes as early as 3 AM before school. Initially faced with closed gates, they persevered and prayed outside until the church doors opened.
-
With the church empty, the speaker prayed fervently, hoping that solitude would allow them to encounter God without distractions. Despite not seeing anything miraculous during these visits, their belief in the potential of a divine meeting remained strong.
Focusing on Inner Experiences During Weakness
"I felt my whole body was very weak."
-
The speaker describes a significant experience while in a state of physical weakness, where their body felt heavy and they could not move. In this vulnerable state, they turned their attention inward, realizing they were likely facing a life-threatening situation.
-
They recount the sensations of weakness, pain, and impending coldness, indicating a profound awareness that they might be dying. This experience shifted their focus to the struggle of their heart and body, raising existential questions about life and the potential for an encounter with God.
Near-Death Experience and Spiritual Reflection
"I remember that time I started only remembering what I used to preach. It was like I was seeing myself moving around, telling people about Jesus."
-
The speaker reflects on moments just before a critical health event, where memories of preaching emerge vividly. He recalls focusing on the messages he shared about faith and the yearning to connect with God.
-
The memories are not just fragmented thoughts but rather alive and vibrant, as he feels himself animated by his past experiences in preaching and teaching others about Jesus.
Struggles with Acceptance
"Some people actually thought I was mad because I insisted on asking people I want to meet God one-on-one."
-
Despite the sincere desire to connect with God, the speaker faced ridicule from peers and teachers, who labeled him as "mad" for his expressions of faith.
-
He took to writing "Jesus is Lord" on his uniform and belongings, which made him a target of mockery but also demonstrated his unwavering commitment to his beliefs.
Sensations of Dying
"At that moment, I felt something around my head; I felt like a force was digging there."
-
The speaker recounts a physical sensation that accompanied his realization of dying. He felt a concentration of energy in a specific area of his body, leading to an overwhelming sense of knowing that he was departing from his physical form.
-
As he lays there, his memories and physical sensations blend, signaling a spiritual transformation.
The Process of Separation
"I felt that what was coming out of me was like smoke, and it started going upwards."
-
The experience of his soul leaving the body is described as a tangible feeling resembling smoke that rises upward. There’s a clear distinction between his physical state and the ethereal essence of his thoughts.
-
His inner knowledge at that moment connects with a realization that beings of light in heaven were aware of his journey, creating an intense feeling of understanding and recognition.
Encountering Beings of Light
"When one of them looked at me, he started thinking exactly what I was also thinking."
-
Upon reaching a higher state of being, the speaker encounters beings of light, whom he identifies as angels. He describes a telepathic connection with these beings, where they understand his thoughts and emotions without the need for verbal communication.
-
This interaction deepens his realization of shared consciousness and joy, reinforcing the idea that he is welcomed and understood in the realm beyond.
Realizing His True Self
"When I came out of my body, I realized that I was also like them; I was a light being."
-
The speaker's perception shifts as he acknowledges that he, too, is a light being after leaving his physical form. He expresses feeling weightless and free, akin to a balloon, which enhances the feeling of liberation from earthly constraints.
-
This profound transformation indicates a change in identity and a new understanding of existence as part of a collective of light.
The Journey to Encounter Light Beings
"As we rose higher, I felt we were following the same path that light beings used to descend to Earth."
-
The narrator describes a metaphysical experience of rising towards a higher realm, where he feels connected to light beings. He expresses a profound awareness of their happiness, reinforcing the notion that this journey aligns with an ancient path known to these beings.
-
Upon returning to his body, the narrator does not recall a gradual transition but rather experiences an instantaneous regaining of strength and consciousness. This marks his first significant encounter orchestrated by God, suggesting a transformative spiritual moment.
The Nature of Spiritual Experiences
"I cannot say it was a vision because it felt so real."
-
The narrator distinguishes this experience from mere visions, emphasizing its tangible reality. He vividly recalls sensations, such as coldness in his extremities and the rhythmic pounding of his heart, which contributed to the authenticity of the experience.
-
Over time, the narrator reports becoming accustomed to these spiritual journeys, indicating a gradual integration of such profound experiences into his life.
Sharing Spiritual Experiences and Initial Doubts
"The leader of the fellowship discouraged sharing these experiences due to doubts and disbelief."
-
The narrator attempts to share his encounters during a fellowship session but faces skepticism from the group's leader and members, leading him to limit his sharing of spiritual experiences. This highlights a barrier many face when discussing profound insights in environments skeptical of spiritual phenomena.
-
Although the narrator feels discouraged in public sharing, he turns to writing about his experiences in books, signifying a personal commitment to documenting his spiritual journey.
Deepening Connections with Light Beings
"I became so accustomed to leaving my body that I could converse with angelic beings."
-
The narrator describes how his experiences evolved from initial awe to a more casual familiarity with the light beings, allowing him to engage in meaningful conversations and learn about their nature.
-
He mentions specific interactions with archangels like Michael and Gabriel, illustrating the depth of his encounters and the wisdom gained from these celestial beings.
Insights from Archangel Michael
"Michael revealed that while the Lord was crucified, he was in the temple fighting a dragon."
-
Through discussions with Archangel Michael, the narrator receives profound insights into biblical events, providing context to the spiritual narratives and enhancing his understanding of the interplay between physical and spiritual realms during key historical moments.
-
These revelations serve to deepen the narrator's connection to biblical stories and affirm his experiences as valid spiritual encounters rather than mere imagination.
The Experience of Eden and Adam
"I had visions of Adam before and after the fall in the Garden of Eden."
-
The narrator recounts witnessing Adam, the first human, in different states of existence, which instills a clear understanding of the significant spiritual implications tied to creation and the fall.
-
This journey not only emphasizes the connection to Adam but also underscores the broader themes of light, life, and the spiritual heritage of humanity laid out in biblical scripture.
Understanding Light and Creation
"In heaven, light is not just illumination; it embodies life and love, emanating from God."
-
The narrator articulates a fundamental principle of heaven, which revolves around light as a symbol of divine essence. This concept suggests that all heavenly creations are infused with glory and life directly from God.
-
He points out that just as creations in heaven send back glory to God, humanity was created to reflect this divine light through worship and existence, establishing a deep connection between spiritual and physical life.
The Nature of Adam Before Sin
"When I touched him, Adam was a light being."
-
Adam was initially created as a being of light, symbolizing the glory and life of God, which radiated from him to all creation in the Garden of Eden. As the head of creation, Adam had dominion over the mountains, animals, and trees, which recognized him.
-
This divine light allowed Adam to communicate with angels and God, giving him a unique understanding of his existence and the universe around him.
The Consequences of Sin
"When Adam sinned, he lost the light that was on him."
-
Upon disobeying God, Adam lost the light that characterized his being. This light, which represented the glory of God, receded inside him, causing him to perceive his physical body for the first time, leading to feelings of coldness and nakedness.
-
This transition signified Adam’s fall from a state of divine connection, stripping him of his ability to communicate with God and angels as he did before his transgression.
The Light and Glory of God
"The glory of God went into the blood."
-
The glory that once enveloped Adam transformed into his blood, marking a significant shift from spiritual light to physical existence. Thus, the essence of life, previously external and illuminating, became internal but hidden.
-
This transformation initiated a spiritual death within Adam, which was not a physical demise but rather a separation from the life of God, paving the way for humanity's continuing struggle to regain that lost glory.
The Need for Redemption
"Jesus came as the light to revive us back."
-
To restore humanity to its original state, God sent Jesus Christ, referred to as the second Adam, to revive the lost connection and glory that Adam had forfeited. Jesus embodies the light Adam had lost, allowing for the reconciliation of humanity with the divine.
-
Through Jesus, believers experience spiritual revival and growth, not only receiving the light within but also allowing it to manifest outwardly. This revival signifies the return to a state of divine connection and communication with God, akin to Adam's state before sin.
The Role of Believers
"When we are revived back as we were before Adam sinned, we will be able to communicate with creation."
-
The restoration process also involves believers actively seeking the kingdom of God and embodying the teachings of Christ. True fulfillment comes from desiring spiritual growth over material wealth, enabling them to connect profoundly with creation.
-
Ultimately, the journey of faith aims to cultivate a relationship where believers can fulfill God's will on earth, reflecting the divine glory originally intended for humanity.
The Spiritual Body and Seeking God
"When you seek God, you'll find Him when you seek with all your heart."
-
This section discusses understanding the spiritual body as mentioned in the Bible, specifically in 2 Corinthians 5:3-4, where the idea is presented that the spiritual body does not die and will eventually swallow the physical body that dies.
-
The speaker emphasizes the importance of seeking God wholeheartedly rather than pursuing worldly desires, as the latter will merely lead to human creations rather than divine truths.
The Tower of Babel and the Stone of Christ
"They ignored the stone. That rock is Jesus."
-
The speaker draws a parallel between the Tower of Babel in Genesis and the neglect of Christ as the true cornerstone in various world religions.
-
The choice of building materials, bricks versus stone, symbolizes worldly religions striving for connection with God while overlooking Jesus, who is presented as the true spiritual foundation.
-
This metaphor extends further, linking the 'stone' to instances in biblical history, such as David’s victory over Goliath and Jacob’s dream, indicating that Christ is the pathway to divine encounters and understanding.
Understanding the Creation of Adam and Eve
"Adam was created from the spirit of God, the breath, but Eve was created from the flesh."
-
The narrative explains the creation of Adam and Eve, relating these events to spiritual truths. Adam symbolizes the spiritual, while Eve represents the flesh, suggesting that physical beings should be guided by spiritual principles.
-
The consequences of Adam listening to Eve are presented as a metaphor for yielding to earthly desires, leading to sin.
-
The relationship between Adam, Eve, and the subsequent human race illustrates a spiritual lineage that parallels the relationship between Christ and the Church.
The Nature of the Soul
"The soul has everything you have ever done in this world."
-
The concept of the soul is elaborated on as a repository of all actions and thoughts, serving as a record that establishes one's spiritual standing.
-
The soul is depicted as layered, with each experience leaving a footprint that can be recalled by God. This serves as evidence of a person's life choices in the afterlife.
-
The act of repentance and receiving Christ is explained as a cleansing of the soul, where Jesus removes evidence of wrongdoing and offers a new spiritual identity.
Growing in Spiritual Authority
"God cannot immediately give you inheritance until you grow to be of full age."
-
The notion of spiritual maturity is conveyed as necessary for receiving divine inheritance, paralleling human practices of parental inheritance.
-
The speaker elaborates on Ephesians 4, highlighting the different roles within the Church (apostles, prophets, evangelists) and describing how they serve specific purposes for collective growth and outreach.
-
The emphasis is placed on growing into the full measure and stature of Christ, which is crucial for inheriting the spiritual authority and responsibilities accorded to believers.
The Role of Shepherds and Teachers
"These are the shepherds, the pastors... Those are the teachers. They are few to find. It's not easy. That's why it is short."
-
In the spiritual context, shepherds refer to pastors or leaders in the church who guide and nurture their congregation. Teachers, likened to a small finger in size, are essential yet rare, reflecting their crucial role in imparting wisdom and understanding to believers.
-
Teachers possess the unique ability to open spiritual ears and eyes, leading to greater understanding and enlightenment among followers. This is vital for growing in faith and knowledge of God.
The Purpose of Spiritual Leaders
"He gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors, but all of them have one purpose: to build the body of Christ in us."
-
Spiritual leaders are tasked with a unified goal: to cultivate the body of Christ within believers, transforming them into "light beings." This transformation indicates that Christians become vessels of divine light, contributing to a collective spiritual illumination.
-
Paul's metaphor of a race illustrates that faith calls for perseverance, as only one competitor ultimately claims the prize—Jesus Christ. This emphasizes the importance of unity among believers in faith and understanding.
Spiritual Unity and Knowledge
"Until we all come to unity in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God... What the angels know, what the prophets knew, what the saints know, what God knows, we are all going to have unity in faith."
-
Spiritual growth aims to unify all believers in their understanding and knowledge of God. This culminates in a common comprehension similar to that of angels and saints, depicting an ideal state of spiritual maturity.
-
This unity assures believers that they will ultimately share the same insights and truths, eliminating disparities in understanding among those destined for heaven.
The Nature of the Soul
"The soul is what remains. It is the soul which feeds God. It is the soul which is thirsty for God."
-
The soul holds an essential place in a believer’s existence, as it remains after the body returns to dust. Unlike the physical body, which decays, the soul's experiences and condition are eternal and deeply connected to spiritual fulfillment.
-
Understanding the significance of the soul informs a believer's focus on spiritual growth rather than material possession, leading them towards a divine relationship with God.
The Process of Being Born Again
"When you become born again, it doesn't mean you have entered the kingdom of God."
-
Being born again signifies a spiritual rebirth, a crucial step toward experiencing the kingdom of God. However, entering this kingdom requires being born of both water and the spirit, as illustrated by Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus.
-
The distinction between seeing the kingdom (born again) and entering it (born of the spirit) highlights that spiritual awakening is a multi-faceted process that goes beyond mere acknowledgment.
Understanding the Battle for Souls
"The battle is in the soul. Why? Because the spirit was already won by the Father."
-
The ongoing spiritual battle is focused on souls rather than spirits because the original victory has already been claimed by the Father over the forces of evil. The struggle lies in guiding souls toward salvation and away from worldly influences that lead to spiritual decay.
-
This battle emphasizes the necessity of soul-winning efforts among believers, suggesting that the true mission lies in rescuing and nurturing the human soul, which longs for connection with the divine.
The Nature of the Soul and Spirit
"In the soul, in the human heart, God put a whole world."
-
The speaker articulates that the soul embodies a vastness placed within by God, indicating that it is significant for spiritual pursuits.
-
Referring to Ecclesiastes 3:1, it is emphasized that the entire world resides within the human heart, requiring individuals to nurture and engage their spirit and soul effectively.
-
The speaker delineates the distinction between the spirit and the flesh, stating, "Following the spirit is life; following the flesh is death," aiming to highlight the importance of spiritual guidance over physical urges.
Illuminating the Soul through the Spirit
"When the soul follows the spirit, the light from the spirit comes and shines on the soul."
-
The dialogue suggests that when the soul aligns with the spirit, it receives enlightenment that has the potential to transform it into a higher spiritual form.
-
This transformation is portrayed as vital for entering spiritual realms and communicating with other spiritual entities, thereby establishing a connection between the mortals and the divine.
-
The discussion contrasts the divine influences of the spirit versus the corrupt influences of the flesh, reiterating the necessity of strong belief and understanding of faith for spiritual growth.
The Significance of Spiritual Armor
"Our soul is what Christ gives the helmet of salvation, not the body."
-
The importance of spiritual armor, such as the helmet of salvation and the belt of truth, is explained, suggesting that these elements are essential for the soul's protection and well-being.
-
The speaker claims that God provides specific spiritual tools to safeguard against worldly temptations, emphasizing the need to maintain distance from the physical world's influences.
-
Through reading scripture, the importance of belief is reiterated; only by embracing these spiritual truths can one's soul flourish and obtain salvation.
Disconnecting from the World
"God wants us to connect and disconnect from this world."
-
The speaker highlights the emphasis on separating oneself from worldly desires and practices, indicating that the material world is under the influence of negative spiritual powers.
-
There's a reiteration that the "gospel of peace" serves to shield the soul from worldly temptations, creating a spiritual barrier that allows individuals to elevate their consciousness towards God.
-
The analogy of Jesus washing the feet of His disciples symbolizes the removal of worldly connections, emphasizing the spiritual elevation and intentions of believers.
The Symbolism of the Journey of Souls
"The journey of the children of Israel from Egypt to the promised land parables the journey of the souls on earth."
-
The speaker connects the journey of the Israelites with the spiritual journey of human souls, indicating a transition from bondage (Egypt) to freedom and divine fulfillment (promised land).
-
The narrative underscores the importance of avoiding the allure of worldly customs and traditions which could taint the soul and distract individuals from their spiritual goals.
-
The speaker ultimately illustrates that every experience and lesson is encapsulated in a larger divine narrative, instructing believers to stay vigilant in their spiritual pursuits against distractions and societal norms.
The Nature of Spiritual Growth
"In Christ alone, we find the only mediator between man and God, for He is the Word of God."
-
Spiritual growth is a journey where individuals must first decide if they align more with Christ or the devil, as one cannot exist between the two.
-
This journey involves recognizing that God communicates exclusively through Jesus Christ, who represents the ultimate truth as the "Amen" referenced in Revelation 3:14.
-
The term "Amen" is significant, indicating agreement with Christ's teachings and acknowledging His voice in life.
-
As believers, understanding that our essence lies in our soul rather than our physical bodies is crucial, since angels and demons are primarily concerned with the soul's condition rather than worldly titles or appearances.
Understanding the Soul's Condition
"It is the soul that we should focus on; we are soul winners in this spiritual endeavor."
-
Angels and demons perceive the soul and care about its health and condition, which contrasts with the human focus on physical attributes.
-
The concept that our true identity is in the soul emphasizes the importance of nurturing it, likening the believer's role to that of soul winners.
-
Individuals experience both physical and spiritual growth, with spiritual rebirth paralleling physical birth.
-
Recognizing the existence of a spiritual body is fundamental, as it emphasizes the duality of our existence in both the physical and spiritual realms.
The Stages of Spiritual Development
"To grow spiritually, one must start with a thirst for the truth that brings transformation."
-
Spiritual growth begins with a deep thirst for truth, which creates an internal well that Christ, the source of life, fills to the extent of one's desire.
-
After acknowledging the thirst for spiritual enlightenment, the next step is being born again, leading to a transformation in desires and behaviors.
-
A person newly born spiritually feels an innate desire to separate from their old life, indicating a change in mindset and behavior as they grow closer to Christ.
-
The transformation involves feeling new convictions and noticing a shift in how one relates to the world, as Christ's light dispels darkness and influences choices.
Spiritual Growth and Transformation
"If you just become born again and you don't change from former behaviors, you are only deceiving yourself and those around you."
-
The journey of spiritual growth begins with a genuine transformation. Simply claiming to be "born again" without any behavioral change equates to self-deception. Genuine spiritual growth is marked by a continuous process of turning away from past behaviors and embracing a new, enlightened path.
-
True spiritual growth cannot be hidden from God; individuals can only fool themselves and those around them. A genuine change in one’s spiritual state will manifest as increased understanding and enlightenment.
-
The love of God is essential for fostering this light within ourselves. The speaker emphasizes that through divine love, one can touch the souls of others, which allows that love and light to spread to them as well.
The Role of the Holy Spirit
"The Holy Spirit is the helper along the path."
-
Recognizing the role of the Holy Spirit is crucial for spiritual growth. The Holy Spirit guides individuals away from worldly traditions and past behaviors, aiding them in the journey of transformation.
-
The process of spiritual growth is characterized by a thirst for truth, which leads one to accept Christ genuinely rather than for external validation or benefits. This thirst paves the way for an authentic spiritual life.
-
As individuals start to separate from worldly customs, they will notice significant changes both within themselves and in their interactions with others.
The Importance of Change and Inheritance
"That change is proof that the son of God is now growing in you."
-
Observable change acts as evidence of the transformative power of faith. Acknowledging these changes signifies that one is becoming a new creation in Christ, leading to the growth of the divine nature within.
-
Biblical teachings illustrate that spiritual inheritance is not given to an immature believer, emphasizing the requirement for growth and maturity in one's faith.
-
In order to attain full spiritual inheritance, individuals must progress in their relationship with Christ, allowing Him to grow within them.
The Presence of God in Daily Life
"You start to see how God is moving... His Word is alive yesterday, today, and forever."
-
A deeper spiritual awareness correlates with an increased ability to recognize the hand of God in daily life. This awareness goes beyond mere acknowledgment to a living engagement with God's presence and action in the world.
-
The light brought by spiritual growth dispels darkness, illustrating that as one becomes illuminated, old behaviors naturally diminish. This light empowers individuals to recognize and seek more of God in their lives.
-
The growth of Christ within believers is not just a metaphorical concept but a transformative journey that ultimately leads to deliverance and understanding of God's promise.
The Importance of Spiritual Understanding
"Paul encouraged the Ephesians to seek wisdom and revelation to understand the hidden riches of God's glory."
-
Paul emphasized the need for spiritual wisdom and understanding, encouraging believers to pray for enlightenment from the Father.
-
At this stage of deliverance, the individual's spirit is being restored while also empowering them to aid others in their spiritual journeys.
-
The passage highlights the significance of realizing one's spiritual wealth, which refers to deep, hidden truths in God's word.
Levels of Grace and Communication with God
"At the level of grace, God reveals dreams, visions, and personal revelations to individuals."
-
As believers grow in grace, they begin to experience deeper spiritual revelations that can be difficult to articulate to others due to varying levels of understanding.
-
Visions provide insight into the past and allow individuals to see historical truths that were previously obscured. This suggests a divine means of communication through insight and understanding.
-
The 'spirit of Christ' within each believer fosters the development of wisdom, which is essential for spiritual growth.
The Role of Purification in Preparing the Soul
"Purification involves being baptized with fire, which consumes impurities and prepares one to meet God."
-
The purification process is necessary for spiritual readiness to encounter God, symbolizing a soul that is made pure.
-
The concept is reinforced through the baptism of fire, which serves to eliminate impurities, much like gold is refined through fire.
-
This process is rooted in biblical foundations, illustrating how the Holy Spirit prepares believers for divine communion.
The Journey Toward Fullness in Christ
"The ultimate goal is reaching full maturity in Christ, allowing for open communication with God."
-
As believers advance through spiritual growth, they arrive at a state known as revival, akin to Adam's original purity.
-
At this stage, believers experience open heavens, enabling clear communication with the Father, marking a significant spiritual milestone.
-
The journey emphasizes seeking the Kingdom of God, which is available freely to all who embrace Christ as their Savior.
The Narrow Path of Belief
"The path to heaven is narrow and not meant for everyone; it is reserved for a select few."
-
This commentary addresses skepticism about heaven and hell, indicating that spiritual truths are often recognized only by a minority.
-
The imagery of Jesus taking only three disciples to the mountain during the transfiguration signifies that spiritual revelations and insights are not universally accessible.
The Significance of Faith, Hope, and Love
"To access heavenly things, you need faith, hope, and love."
-
Kalyango Joel discusses the ascension of Peter, James, and John with Jesus, highlighting that these three disciples symbolize essential virtues needed to access the spiritual realm.
-
Each disciple represents a fundamental aspect: Peter embodies faith, James represents hope, and John symbolizes love.
-
To see heavenly things and to experience spiritual growth, a person must cultivate these virtues in their lives.
Spiritual Climbing and Growth
"It is a journey you walk with Christ."
-
Joel explains that achieving a deeper connection with heaven involves a progressive spiritual journey where one grows closer to Christ.
-
This journey requires active participation, such as walking with Jesus and developing the attributes of faith, hope, and love.
-
Only through this spiritual ascent can individuals begin to understand and experience heavenly realities.
The True Nature of the Church
"The church is in you; it is not a building."
-
Joel emphasizes that the essence of the church is not tied to a physical location but exists within each individual.
-
He stresses that the Kingdom of God is found in one’s heart and there is no need to seek God solely within the confines of a traditional church building.
-
Spiritual revelations and growth can occur in any setting where one seeks an authentic connection with Christ.
Sharing Knowledge and Guidance
"The word of God is free; you should not sell it."
-
Kalyango encourages individuals to share spiritual knowledge freely and emphasizes the importance of not viewing ministry as a business.
-
He stresses that genuine love for others should drive one’s mission to guide them spiritually, rather than seeing them as clients.
-
Joel offers his WhatsApp number for those seeking to ask questions or engage in spiritual discussions, reiterating that the teachings are offered without charge.
