For the sake of brevity and privacy I have removed parts of this experience that I believe are personal. Despite that decision, I believe the message remains the same. Please judge as scriptures asked us to, and seek the Lord for confirmation and direction. I Cor. 14:29  Let two or three prophets speak, and the others evaluate.  1Th 5:21 but examine all things; hold fast to what is good.

28th of May 2018: I just got out of bed at 2:30 to write this

"experience" I just had. I have been lying down in bed for about 10mins after it ended.

When I ran out the dimension had changed. Everything was quite different from the last time I was outside. The environment had become foreboding, and instead of flats it was now an open field with forests and swamps close by, and it had also become more intense and

spiritual. I saw something close by, which looked like a heat wave/mirage in human form (heat wave is the transparent and shimmering effect of objects at a distance on a hot day when standing on a tarred road). I was afraid, and when it came at me, I changed direction to avoid it. As it repositioned itself for attack, I saw it pass over another person in it's path. The person immediately collapsed and the word that came to me was that the person had been disabled. I was afraid. I knew that I was in the world of this powerful “thing”. I then took off running. I was so scared as I saw many groups of animals led by demons in the direction I was fleeing towards. For some unknown reason, I raised my right hand forward as I was running. When I got to the first group of animals, who were ready to attack on both sides of the road, I suddenly knew they were going to bow to me. My mind couldn't believe what I knew, because I knew the demons were telling them to attack me. Yet the animals bowed. As I passed the other groups, one group after the next, the bows kept getting lower. I also started getting happier. By the last group, they knelt down and bowed their heads almost in worship. 

At this point I was at the end of land, which was followed by a perilous river. A group of prayer warrior prophets were also on the same side as I (it was a high cliff with a river at the bottom). They were also trying to cross having passed the enemy behind, but they had not figured it out. One of them was an old friend who I used to pray with when I started seeking God earnestly. He was their leader, and when he saw me running, he shouted to the rest that I was going to show them the way. The others were skeptical just as I was. However I jumped off the cliff, and as I did so, I suddenly remembered that I had passed the place before successfully, and I knew I was going to be attacked by warring demons. Instead of landing inside the perilous waters, my first foot landed on a  wooden cylindrical rod that was strutting out of the river. Once I landed the first foot, I knew I had to leap to the next rod till I passed the river. Immediately, the warring demons started flinging (can't remember their names) these sharp ropes that had balls of fire on both ends of the rope. They would spin it with some device until the rod had generated great centrifugal force, then they would release it. This weapon would cut off anything in its path. The friend jumped in after me. The first couple of fiery rods had just been released towards us when;

Rapture

Everything from here is unexplainable. I know what happened but language fails me. What I describe below is grossly inadequate but it gives a general idea.

All of a sudden, I just changed. I really can't explain this, but I was no longer dreaming. I left my physical body that was sleeping beside my wife and merged with my dream body in the scene above just as my body lifted off above the river, the demons, animals and everything else. I just took off. Dream and reality merged. I felt nothing like myself anymore. It was like I transformed.

My clothes changed into white and I started singing. The higher I rose the deeper and richer my voice became, my robes became bigger for a lack of a better word, yet they were still my size. I was shinning and I was deliriously happy to use an inadequate word. EVERYTHING on Earth meant nothing. It seemed everything that was of great importance in my life was now nothing. I started singing in eloquent original Yoruba language beyond my earthly capacity as I rose higher. I was praising God with words of profound depth and phrases that I have never imagined. I sang of His glory and that I was going to see my God. 

The major thing that is still ringing in me is how inconsequential all the earthly concerns were. Fears of war during Nigeria’s 2019 elections, my own future and all the really important things. I was so different, unbelievably joyous and everything else was worthless. I left Earth and my body. I had passed the clouds with my friend still behind me. He had left his friends and taken off with me.

As I said, it’s difficult to express everything that transpired. There was information overload in that moment when the transformation started. Let me try and unpack a couple of things that were impressed on me as vital.

Physical change

It was like I could see into my DNA, and it was as if my glorified self swallowed up my normal DNA. Energy just burst out of my insides, and it swallowed up all of me. It seemed as if some liquid life swarm out of my DNA until it enveloped me.  By the way, seeing into the molecular level all happened in a millisecond. Who or what I became is incomparable to my norm. I became very strong physically. I looked and felt completely different from my normal physical self.. The energy and power in me is not describable. I have been slim all my life, but now I became taller and moderately muscular.  It seemed all my cells were packed with life. More details on this aspect is at the end of this writing.

Mental

What surprised me more was that my mind became so clear and crisp. I am an analytical thinker by nature and I usually have a debate going on in my mind about practically everything, but in that moment, my mind was laser focused on God, and I was able to process all of the data of my environment and my life history on earth in a second.  In that second that I reviewed my life, I reached a precise conclusion. 

The conclusion was that I had expended too much of my life on irrelevant things. I am not talking about sin, but neutral things like watching sports, seeking to be accepted or loved by people. In this state, my love for God was undiluted. 

The higher I went the better it got. Midway between Earth and the clouds, I was so different that I couldn’t recognize myself physically or mentally. I just knew it was still me despite the metamorphosis.

All of a sudden, after the clouds, I stopped and I knew I was suppose to go back to Earth. This time, I felt myself go back into my physical body on the bed beside my wife. Then I opened my eyes. I was even aware of when I entered my body.

It took a few minutes to acclimatize to my old body after the indescribable exhilaration I just experienced. It wasn’t a dream, neither was it an open vision. Then it dawned on me, that I had been given a taste of the rapture. 

Scriptures I had read for years and thought I knew well flooded back to my mind with deeper meanings. I understood why Paul desired to die and leave this world. Above all, I realized the vanity of life. I cried multiple times thinking of things I had expended emotions on in the past. All nothing. NOTHING! Anger, material things, worry. They added up to a puff of air. What a waste. I vowed to make my life count. See details below

Then excitement washed over me. If this is what all my seeking of God was going to lead to, then what joy. I was going to seek Him more than ever.

As I tried to share this, I was restrained not to. 4 days later, I was shown more scriptures while praying which were to clarify the experience. So here is a little background information on me to create some context, and then scriptures received during the experience and after to establish the experience.

Background (to give context)

I have been having visions and dreams for almost 3 years on a great darkness coming on Earth that will provide the foundations for the refinement and molding of believers into the perfect church. This glorified church will manifest the glory of Christ just before getting raptured. 

I was told last year to share what I was shown. I don’t know dates, but I know I will, at the very least, see the beginning of these events, and I also believe I will see the rapture. To be clear, I was not told I will live beyond the chaos to see the rapture, I just deduced it from what I have been shown and what I believe in my heart. I have dreamt of the rapture before, but never experienced transformation/transfiguration/rapture.

On the same night, before this experience, I received a message while sleeping as I had done throughout that week. I would see a picture or get a sentence which were addressing various issues in my life. On that night, I saw a picture of myself carrying a big dumpster filled with trash, and I saw an angel hanging above me and carrying something indescribable that registered in my spirit as “glory”. As I woke up, I tried to make a mental note so I could write it down as previous messages, but this time, I got a message saying. Give up the trash so you can receive glory. The rapture experience followed this.

Scriptural References to the Experience.

51. Behold, I tell you a mystery: we will not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed,
52. in a moment, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
53. For it is necessary for this perishable body to put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body to put on immortality.

54  But whenever this perishable body puts on incorruptibility and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: “Death is swallowed up in victory.

While viewing my transformation from the DNA level during the experience, the word “swallow” came to me. I had always thought from previous readings of this passage that a glorified body will be “put on” us during the rapture because in vs. 53 he talked of us putting on immortality. However, I now know that we will be transfigured from

our DNA, and the last verse says death is swallowed up. I am not sure why knowing the process is pertinent, but it is. 

Evaluation of earthly life from the prism of Eternity

Jas 4:14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

Psa 39:11 When with rebukes You correct man for iniquity, You make his beauty melt away like a moth; Surely every man is vapor. 

Psa 62:9 Surely men of low degree are a vapor, Men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapor

When my life was reviewed, the word “puff” along with a plum of vapor passed through my mind, and instantly the conclusion of the review was clear. Everything I had done disappeared. The only things left were the things involving God. No matter how important I thought things I had done in my life were, or the effort I put in, they were “puff”.  

The best way I can explain that revelation is that everything thing in this life is like a shadow, which is not tangible/real, and when we cross to eternity, nothing in this shadow will follow us into the tangible reality of eternity except what is done with God. It seemed as if anything I had done with God at it’s center was going to cross over with me into eternity as a sort of my essence or eternal identity. Nothing else, no matter how noble, religious, or seemingly “spiritual”, would cross over. Something as mundane as house chores could become a tangible thing in eternity if done with God, while religious work, secular activities etc just vanished in the reality of eternity. This gave deep meaning to the following verses

1Co 10:3 - … whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Col 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. 

Col 3:23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,

Cornelius is a good example in Acts 10:4 -  And he stared at him and became terrified and said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your charitable deeds have gone up for a memorial offering before God.

This man was not born again, but by using his time and resources in God-centered activities, he built a memorial (think of statues that we build on Earth in memory of people) in God’s throne room. Those activities will forever be part of Cornelius in eternity.

Also, Paul, in talking about ministers of God described the process of testing the activities of hard-working Ministers in order to get eternal rewards in I Cor. 4 

• the work of each one will become evident. For the day will reveal it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the work of each one, of what sort it is.
• If anyone’s work that he has built upon it remains, he will receive a reward.
• If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but so as through fire.

So, it is not the level of activities, although hard work is good, it is the level of God's involvement that counts. It is folly to undervalue yourself in the kingdom because you are a mere housewife or think you are making impact because of the size of the congregation.

A taste of glory

If you dismiss everything I wrote above, please don’t discountenance this part. In those few moments that I received my glorified body, I was more alive than I have ever been. It’s closing on two weeks since the experience, and I periodically get lost thinking of it. I have read of many experiences of people who saw heaven and never wanted to come back. Despite having a loving wife and two great kids, I didn’t want to come back. That is the truth. I now understand better why Paul said “to die is gain”.   

Humility, the key to transformation

Four days after this experience after being told to wait before sharing these things, I had a strong conviction to pray about them, and then I was given these further explanation. It is likely that I will have to write more on this issue of transformation and humility due to space, but please read the epistle to the Philippians, chapters 1-3 l. What I will say for now is that I now believe that we don’t have to wait for the rapture to be transformed. What the Holy Spirit has shown me is that to the degree we receive the revelation and walk in it through humility, we are going to see many people walk in glorified states like Jesus and Enoch, the closer it gets to His coming. The price will be humility. That was Paul's purpose in those verses. The power of resurrection will be displayed in those who die to themselves to seek God.

I tasted the glory of transfiguration only briefly, and other things have become bland. I want to live for Him more than ever. This experience has enhanced my desire to do what He asked me to do.  He has repeatedly revealed to me that He is coming soon, and before He comes some things will happen (II Thess. 2:.2-12; II Tim. 3:1). The first part of this which is urgent is great darkness coming on the Earth which will be the background that will bring the church to perfection. He has said the time is short to grow spiritually in these quiet days. Isaiah 60 is upon us, and the deep darkness will be the platform for the prepared ones to shine. God is now looking for sons and daughters, not babies. Sons ask for, and seek to do the Father’s will in total devotion to Him. Religious activities for blessings and other transactional Christianity are the roads to perdition in the coming days.

Forgive the epistle.

Redeem the time! Seek Him today because The King is Coming…the King is Coming!
