'DEAR LOIS,' Column
your letters answered Dear Lois,
Did you see an amusement park in Heaven? (----) describes a roller
coaster called 'The Rush' which is similar but unlike earthly rides.
This has missing track. It struck me as weird. Theatres?
A portal where one can see activities of families on earth?
W.N. Dear W.N.
You are a discerning man to ask me these questions. Amusement
parks are an earthly invention to substitute outward happiness for the
joy and peace of the Lord. Why do we need the man made invention
of a roller coaster when we can float and fly?
There are libraries where you can watch actual scenes of true
history. There are no fiction, fake or made up stories in Heaven.
Everything in Heaven is truth. You can watch scenes of your life.
The one everyone loves to see is the true life story of Jesus exactly as
it happened, including His crucifixion, death and resurrection. But
added to the actual scenes, you can view the activities of the spirit
world that were invisible to humans at the time.
Portal is a word used by the occult world as an entryway for
demons. Heaven does not need any earthly technology. Nor are
there demons in heaven. If God wishes that you know about your
earthly family, you will see them directly. The Bible says, now we
see through a glass darkly, but then (in Heaven) face to face. And
We shall know as we are known.
Earth is in the third dimension. Heaven is in the sixth and
seventh dimensions.

Dear Lois,
Are there activities in Heaven that you would call entertaining?
W.N. Dear W.N.
Would you call it entertaining to be with your sweetheart
continually?
To be owner of a huge, beautiful mansion? To enjoy parties
and banquets with your friends? To enjoy your landscaped estate
with your sweetheart?
To walk on golden streets and eat from flowering, fragrant, fruit
trees? To swim in golden and rainbow colored water and be able to
breathe in that water? Swimming with your sweetheart? All
free? And to see Jesus as He walks about Heaven among His people?
And to have Him visit with you and your sweetheart in your mansion?
Would you enjoy entering the treasuries of the hail and snow?
Or finding the path where light dwells? Or hear the seven thunders
and see the lightning around God's Throne? See how the
drops of dew were made? Or from whose womb came the ice and frost?
Would you like to see how the stars of heaven are placed, moved and
controlled? Or pet a lion? Or see a white horse? Or
ride a large white horse at the speed of thought?
Or chain evil with a ray of light? Or see the enemy cast
down?
Or make yourself two feet taller or shorter? Or dance on the
sea of glass before God's Throne with your sweetheart? Or see God,
Who dwells in blinding light, face to face, and be invited to sit
with Him on His Throne? In extreme love and ecstasy?
This is but a drop in the bucket of all the eternal
pleasures God has prepared for us. In comparison earth will seem
like a very bad dream.

Dear Lois,
I always thought it was not Biblical for an earth bound soul to
communicate with those who have gone to glory. Does not the
Scripture forbid our talking with 'the dead?' Lev.19:31,
Lev.20:6, Deu.18:10-11, 2Ki.23:24, 1Sam28:7-15,
I.M. and S.B. Dear I.M. and S.B.,
God absolutely forbids our talking to 'the dead.' It is an
abomination to God. Those Scriptures listed above are the command
not to communicate with 'the dead.' 'The dead' listed in those
verses are: familiar spirits - these are demons; wizards - these
are demon possessed; one who kills his children in fire - ancient
abortion ritual; uses divination - rabbit's foot or other tools of
evil; observer of times - horoscope; enchanter - evil spell
caster; witch - demon possessed; charmer - spells;
consulter with familiar spirits - seances; necromancer - moves
dead bodies by demon spirits. When Saul consulted the witch to
communicate with the prophet Samuel, she cried with a loud voice because
one of her familiar demon spirits did not come up to impersonate 'the
dead' person, but the real Samuel appeared, scaring her out of her wits,
and whereby she knew it was Saul asking.
Now let's look at some other verses. Mat.22:31, Mrk.12:26,
Jesus speaking to the unbelieving Sadducees said, God said, I Am the God
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God is not God of 'the dead' but of
'the living.' Those who die in the Lord are not dead but living in
Heaven. The religious leaders of today still greatly err on who
are 'the dead' and who are 'the living.' Mat.17:1-4, Jesus spoke
with Moses and Elijah living in Heaven. If speaking to 'the
living' in Heaven is an abomination to YHWH, Jesus surely would not have
done so. Lk.24:5, the angels said to the women, why do you seek
'the living' among 'the dead?' The living and the dead are
in two different places. Isa.8:19, we do not seek through
demons to communicate with 'the dead.' We seek through Jesus to
enter Heaven where reside 'the living.' And sometimes He chooses
to show them to us. Rev.17:1, 19:10, 22:8-10, John was
speaking with Daniel, the prophet in his vision of Revelation.
Eph.2:1,6, we are made to sit in Heavenly places with Christ.
Departed saints are not 'the dead.' Saints are living
in everlasting life. They are our 'great cloud of witnesses.'
The dead are perishing in flames. Calling 'the living' in Heaven
'the dead' is precisely a doctrine that keeps your spiritual eyes
blinded. To know the whole truth, you must be soaked in the whole
Word of God.
Be seated with Christ in Heavenly places.

Dear Lois,
When God's City descends toward our earth, a lot of preachers say it will
be ON earth. But the Bible just says it comes down. So I
think it may be suspended somewhat above the earth, and the resurrected
saints can go in and out of it. What do you think? Also John
10 says, I Am the door: by Me if any man enter in he shall be saved, and
shall go in and out, and find pasture. I think that means
we can go in and out of the New Jerusalem city into the 'environs' as
you say.
Dr.P.R. Dr.P.R.
You are right. God's city descends out of the heavens that the
human eyes cannot see to the heavens of our solar system that humans can
see. You are right, the City Throne of God will be established
'forever in the sky like the sun and like the moon' as David said in the
Psalms (89:36-37) The City is 1500 miles cubed. That in and
of itself would not fit on the earth. But the foursquare gold city
of Heaven plus its country sides called the 'environs' or 'shady groves'
are 12 times the size of earth, and much brighter, as shining gold is
brighter than rocks and mud and soil.
The resurrected saints will live in God's City in the Sky. They
will have no more desire to visit earth as earth beings have no desire
to leave their planet. There are those who become pillars in God's
City that will 'go no more out' as John revealed. However there
are those ordained of God who will go in and out to be ministering
angels to those still living on earth. This is happening now.
Going out from the City of Heaven to its environs (or the countryside of
Heaven) is the same as going in and out of cities and country sides on
earth. Heaven's environs are not earth. Continue setting
your affections on things above.

Dear Lois,
I have gotten about a dozen more books on Heaven and hell. I have
always thought hell was in the center of the earth. But the book I
read last night seemed to indicate that hell could be in the second
heaven - at least for now. Any comment?
Dr.P.R. Dr.P.R
In his book 'Mysterious Secrets of the Dark Kingdom' (www.ccipublishing.net),
J.P.Timmons reports, from testimonies of those saved from the bondage of
the dark kingdom, that there are 13 levels of the enemy's 'heavens' in
the sky over our earth. And his people - witches and others sold
out to the enemy visit his heavens as those washed by the blood of Jesus
visit God's Heavenly Kingdom beyond the stars.
But the enemy is still falling. He was cast out of God's Kingdom
City beyond space (LK.10:18), down to the sky over planet earth where he is 'the
prince and power of the air' (Eph.2:2) now. And when God's City descends
toward our earth, the enemy will be cast down out of our 'sky heaven'
onto planet earth (Rev.12:9,13) for 42 months (Rev.12:14) (Great tribulation). In the
ensuing battle with God, Whose Kingdom will reside in our sky forever
like the sun, God will cast the enemy down further to the sides of the
bottomless pit, and eventually to the lake of fire forever (Rev.20:10). Then
there will be peace on earth.

Dear Lois,
I read your diary on Your Love Story from 'Inside the Gates of Heaven'
and I just loved it. It was very moving and poignant. Now I
have questions on your prayer diary. When I read your love story,
it says that you already have a companion in Heaven. Now my
questions can be personal so please don't be bothered by it. I
only want to learn about it.
If you have a companion assigned to you by the Lord, can you get married
in this earth? If you can, can that earthly marriage mate be your
2nd companion? My question is based on Matthew 22 where Sadducees
asked Jesus about who will marry who?
Also, I computed city mansions and it comes to about 20 billion. Is
the Lord Jesus going to build more city mansions after New Jerusalem
comes out of Heaven in Revelation 21 and 22?
Lois I am so hungry about the knowledge of Heaven. Is it OK for me
to ask you more about Heaven? Thanks.
R.L. Dear R.L.
Thank you for reading my website.
Everyone who is counted worthy to attain to the resurrection has a
companion. Since Adam was divided into two halves, the human race
has desired to find their Eve, or Adam. God is our greatest need.
A companion is our greatest desire. But only God, our Creator,
knows who are the Eves for the Adams. And as Adam was, we will
become in the presence of God Most High. What God divided, He will
unite. Eve is Adam's heavenly companion, and was his earthly wife.
The heavenly companion is for the purpose of worship to God. And
as much as a man desires a feminine companion - so much and more does
Jesus desire to be with His companion, His Bride, those who love Him
first of all.
In answering the Sadducees, Jesus said that in Heaven there is no
marriage for the purpose of reproduction. In Heaven the race does
not die so there is not a need for regenerating the race. One
cannot be born into Heaven. You must be born again of the Spirit
of God in order to enter Heaven. The woman was marrying the
brothers with her body in order to raise up seed for them on the earth.
So she may not have been the spiritual love companion of any of them.
She is free to be her happy feminine half being. Only God knows
from what masculine half being He divided her spirit. And as we
did not choose our parents, our birth country, our skin color, our
creative genius, or our intelligence, neither are we smart enough to
choose our eternal heavenly companion.
You will not find the heavenly spiritual love companion relationship on
this earth, neither will you find the earthly physical baby-making wife
relationship in Heaven. However it is possible that your earthly
wife could be your heavenly companion. I don't know what God has
in store for you. But I know that God dearly loves you and will
always give you the best.
I don't know if the Lord is going to build more city mansions after the
New Jerusalem comes out of Heaven in Revelation 21-22. But my
guess is that Heaven is built and perfect and complete. Heaven was
built before the creation of the world. Jesus said He is preparing
a place for us. But it does not say, as far as I can tell, that
Jesus is building onto the city. But then, the Lord Jesus can do
anything He wants to. I will not limit my infinite Lord to the
limits of my finite mind.
Please feel free to ask any question. I love to share.

Dear Lois,
I somehow found the video of your Dad's visit to Heaven.
Wow!! It was the best and most fascinating testimony I have ever
heard! Amazing! Then I found the written testimony that
added a tiny bit more detail, but not a lot. I have heard a few
testimonies from various others who have gone to Heaven and come back
now, and it almost sounds like to me that we will still have all of our
own emotions. Did your Dad tell you if fear was one of those
emotions...or anxiety?...insecurity?...any of those??? It sounded
like there was some fear of seeing God. Then there was sadness
when the children had to see the movie about Christ's life on earth.
Made me wonder if we are still going to have those yucky emotions we
have on earth. Did he elaborate on this at all when you talked
with him?
Thanks, and God bless you!! J.B.
Dear J.B.,
Yes, we will still have emotions in Heaven. We don't 'have'
emotions. We are emotions. You are an eternal soul.
The essence of your soul (you) is a mind and a heart. Reason and
emotions. When you leave the physical world and are in the
spiritual world you (your soul) will still be a mind, and heart.
The soul can choose to go to the spiritual world where God lives,
through the death of Jesus, or reject Jesus and go to the spiritual
world that is separated from God.
God has emotions. He loves, has compassion, wept over
Jerusalem, shows wrath toward evil, etc. In Heaven you will have
the emotions that are life enriching. The fear of God is a healthy
cautiousness and awe, trying to be of good etiquette in the presence of
the King of Kings. The sadness of the children was a deep
compassion for someone (Jesus) they deeply love who was being unjustly
hurt. It was not a sadness that destroys life or causes
depression.
Fear, anxiety and insecurity are emotions that bring destruction to
the soul and are caused by wounds of being rejected, or of rebellion
against God. Jesus came to heal the broken-hearted and release
those who are in bondage to the enemy and his lies. The souls who
choose to disbelieve or reject Jesus go to the spiritual world apart
from Jesus. There their emotions are broken-hearted. They
are in bondage. They know real, scary fear, anxiety, and terrible
insecurity. The enemy of your soul would like to keep you in
bondage to his lies and fears and doubts.
But Jesus came to free you. The more you read the Word of
God, the more you will know the security that Jesus gives, and that you
will feel in Heaven. And as you read you will increase your faith
in the truth of God's Word. And the more you read the Bible your
anxiety will rest on the promises of God Who loves you very much.
Jesus said, 'My joy I give to you. My peace I give to you.'
These are the emotions you can experience now and in Heaven.
Love, joy and peace to you now and forever, through Jesus,
Lois * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Dear Lois,
Do you think there will be more than one woman or wife for a man in
the highest realm of glory, with God?
Thank you for your work.
S.W. Dear S.W.,
Jesus said, 'Have you not read that He Who made them at the
beginning made them male and female...they are no longer two but one.
Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate.'
God did not create two women for Adam. He took Adam and
divided him in half into two (half) beings, male and female. Even
when Eve doubted God's Word and disobeyed God, Adam was willing to die
to remain with her. Jesus was willing to die to have a
relationship with us.
The men and women who are accounted worthy to attain to the
resurrection of the dead (through Jesus) are united together by God as
one feminine being and one masculine being, as was Adam originally.
Lois * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Dear Lois,
Since there is no marriage in Heaven, how will the covenant be
effected to join male and female as one in God?
S.W. Dear S.W.,
Marriage on earth is for generating more people. One cannot
be born into Heaven. To get to Heaven one must be born again by
the blood of Jesus Who died on the cross because of our sins.
People do not repopulate Heaven.
People (male and female physical bodies) reproduce after their kind
on the earth just like animals reproduce after their kind. It is
an instinct put there by God. And God loves lots of people so He
made the reproduction pleasurable.
In Heaven two loving companions (masculine and feminine souls in
spiritual bodies) are united for the purpose of worshipping God.
On earth there is one intimacy between lovers. In Heaven
there are seven different and more pleasurable intimacies between
eternal covenant companions. They are described on my website in
the ebook 'Inside the Gates of Heaven,' chapters 17 and 18.
Jesus said the two greatest commandments are to love
the Lord God...and our neighbor as ourselves. The Lord God is the
True and Living God Most High, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, Who
sent His Son, Jesus. Our neighbor is our spouse.
Lois * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Dear Lois,
I have been watching your Dad's interview and was encouraged by it.
You also had some experiences in Heaven. I am going through a
rough patch of life now and at days at the verge of giving up my faith
after 20+ years as a Christian, may I ask you bluntly, is God and Heaven
very real? The reason I ask is that God has been so quiet in
recent years and because there is much Christian materials in the shops,
it's hard to tell which are the ones of God and which are the ones of
men, so I thought I should ask someone who has been there and seen
Jesus. Regards,
Y.W. Dear Y.W.
I am so glad that you were encouraged by Dad's interview.
There are three things that are true and can be depended on for
your life. The Bible is 100% true. If you continually read
it and meditate on it, you will grow strong in your spirit and in your
faith. "Faith comes by hearing the Word of God,' Romans 10:17.
It is a living book of living truth.
Jesus is true. He said, 'I am the truth...' No one
could love you more than One who is willing to die a gross death on a
cross for you. Jesus is true and He loves you. Jesus loves
you.
And third, Heaven is true. Jesus said, 'in My Father's house
are many mansions. If it were not so I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you,' John 14. Then Jesus showed the
City of Heaven to John. Revelation is a beautiful picture of
Heaven - Rev.22-23. Many people in the Bible saw Heaven. And
the Bible is the truth. Jesus said there is a Heaven. And
Jesus is true.
It is your responsibility to seek after those things that are true.
Those things that will not pass away. Your rough patch of life
will pass, as mine did. This life is temporary. But Jesus,
Heaven and the Bible are forever. Build your life on this true and
eternal foundation. God loves you.
Lois * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Dear Lois,
I just wanted to say what a pleasure it was chatting with you about the
Lord Jesus and things of Heaven.
M.P. Dear M.P.
Yes thank you for calling.
Lois * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Dear Lois,
My name is A.H. I'm 17. I accepted Jesus into my life
since childhood and looking for a better relationship with Him as I'm
getting older. I want to visit Heaven, How can I do it? Thx.
A.H. Dear A.H.
Thank you for writing to me. Yes, it is possible for you to
visit Heaven. The Lord wants you to hear His voice and see His
face. You do so through His Word and through His Holy Spirit.
You are an eternal soul. Your soul is thoughts and emotions,
and choices and senses. You (your soul) will live forever in one
of two places. Your soul (you) has two bodies, one physical and
one spiritual. These bodies fit over your soul (you) like a glove
fits over a hand. Your senses belong to your soul - see, hear,
smell, taste, touch.
Your physical body allows your soul to interact with the physical
world. So you can see, hear, etc. in the physical world. The
physical body is only temporary.
Your spiritual body allows your soul to interact with the spiritual
world. So you can see, hear, etc. in the spiritual world.
Your spiritual body is eternal.
When God's Holy Spirit witnesses with your spirit and you become a
'saved' (born again) child of God, your soul receives eternal life and
will spend eternity with God in Heaven. This eternal life is made
possible through the cross of Jesus. But you must repent (turn
away from) those actions, thoughts and words that disobey and disbelieve
God's Word.
Then as you read the Bible and commune with God every day you
will learn more and more about our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus, and
about the beautiful City He has built for those who love Him.
As you meditate on Jesus and His Word, your spiritual body will
grow stronger and stronger. The Holy Spirit will begin to show you
through your spiritual eyes, the things which are unseen to your
physical eyes. Things of Heaven, Jesus, and many revelations from
God's Word, the Bible.
'But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and
all these things (food, clothes, etc.) will be added unto you.' Mat.6:33
Happy seeking,
Lois * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Greetings Lois!
Thank you so much for the very nice visit we had on the phone--what
a blessing!
I am so appreciative that we could visit, and share some concerning our
faith, and the things the Lord has done.
J.S. Dear J.S.
Thank you. It was good to talk to you. A man of like
minded faith.
Lois * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Dear Lois,
I would like to express my great thanks to you for posting this
narrative about Heaven. It inspired me and gave me hope and
endurance to finish the race our great God and King has laid out before
me. May God richly bless you and keep you till eternity opens.
P.R. Dear P.R.
Thank you for your encouragement. I am still putting more
info on the site.
Keep encouraged. The Bible is the only truth that can lead
your soul to the Kingdom of God. And the City foursquare is a
living reality.
Best of all, God loves you very much.
Lois

Dear Lois,
Thank you for inviting me to the Tea Party. I enjoyed myself very
much.
Love, M.F. * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * Dear Lois,
Thank you for all the effort you put into the Passover Seder
Dinner. I appreciated the evening very much. I didn't know
that there were different variations of the Haggadah. It sounds
like you did a lot of research in putting together your presentation.
It was interesting to see how much I remembered about the Seder. I
hope the others were blessed by the evening, also.
Shalom, K.S. * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * Dear Miss Lois,
The Lord has laid you on my heart recently. Reminding me of
all the 5-Day Clubs and weekly meetings where you taught us about the
Bible. Your picture of what Heaven might look like, with it's
walls of jewels, is the one I carry in my mind.
You touched my life in such a special way. Looking back, I
can see how what you were teaching me then has helped to shape me into
who I am today. Thank you for taking the time to teach me all
those Bible verses. Thank you for all the stories and songs you
taught me. The picture Bible you gave me has long since been worn
apart, but I still have the green New King James Bible you gave me as a
memory verse reward.
You have been used by God to bless my life. You are, indeed,
one of His own. May He bless you with His loving kindness as you
continue to love and live in Him.
Love in Christ, S.H.
