1 MANSIONS in HEAVEN Today I m going to be sharing a testimony of a well known Pastor in South Korea, Pastor Park. He died of a stroke in 1987 when he was 50 years old. He had a mega church of about 5000 people. The Lord allowed him to be taken to heaven and to hell. He was then told to share his testimony. It was very compelling and I will have the link to his video posted online. When the angels came to take him to heaven, he knew he had not been living right. He was ashamed because he was arrogant and proud. When he got to heaven the Lord asked him five questions. 1. How much time did you spend reading the Word? 2. How much did you give in offerings? 3. How many times did you evangelize to the people? 4. Did you tithe properly? Page 1 of 12

2 5. How much time did you spend in prayer? The Lord told him just because he had so many people in the church and was so busy was no excuse either. He had to repent for this last one. II Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth. Mark 12:41-44 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And He called unto Him His disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living. Mark 16:15 And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. The Bible teaches that a tithe is a tenth and so that is 10% of all the money that comes into your house. I just gave a message on this last week. Look at Malachi 3:10 1 Thess. 5:17 Pray without ceasing. Page 2 of 12

3 Eph.6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. As he began to be shown around heaven he noticed there were a bunch of kids there. He thought they were about kindergarten age. They had no homes. He asked where their homes were? He was told by the angels that they require materials to build there. They told him that our good deeds here on earth become building materials in heaven. The young children had died below the age of accountability and had had no time to earn their home. Pastor Park asked, how do you build up materials? 1. Accumulation of worship and praise. 2. Time spent reading the Bible. 3. Time spent praying. 4. Time spent evangelizing Page 3 of 12

4 5. Giving offerings to the LORD 6. Obediently giving tithes to God 7. Time spent serving the church The angels told him that if you lacked sending up materials, then you would not have a home in heaven. He said he saw many pastors, elders, and deacons with no homes. Psalm 22:3 But Thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Rev.4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for Thou has created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created. John 4:23-24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Matt.:26:40-41 And He cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Eph.6:5-9 - serve So the first area he saw was an area with children with no homes. Then the next area was an area for adults with mansions that had rare gems and rare stones they were beautiful. They were for the ones who served faithfully. Page 4 of 12

5 After that he was shown a place where he did not see any houses. He said, where are the houses here? The angels said, there they are. The houses in this area to him looked like a long row of chicken coops like a chicken house or a warehouse. There was one on the right and it was for pastors and there was one on the left and it was for elders. He could not believe it because they were not pretty or fancy and it just reminded him of chicken coops. When they went inside there were many people on the inside. Nothing fancy on the inside at all. This was the area for people that had made it to heaven but had entered in ashamed. It was a community home for those that sent no building materials up. The angels explained that these servants had not done any sacrifice or servitude with their lives. They loved to be honored by the people. He told him, the poor, lame and old, you must love them and visit them and sacrifice your life for them. Page 5 of 12

6 John 15:12-13 This is My commandment, That ye love one another; as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Gal.5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. Luke 6:35-36 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. He said those Christians that entered ashamed even had shabby clothes. The angels told him how to evangelize. They said for example there is an unbeliever, as soon as you evangelize to him, building material is provided in heaven. As you keep praying for them, more building material is provided. When you keep visiting them and checking up on them, this adds more building material. If someone doesn t have a Bible, give them one. If someone says they have no glasses to read with, give them some. IF someone says they don t have any clothes to come to church in, you give them some. Matt.28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach (disciple) all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Prov.3:28 Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee. Now they went to a section where the angels showed him some of the saints that had the largest homes in heaven: DL Moody, John Wesley, an Italian and a Korean. Page 6 of 12

7 D.L. Moody, This is the test as to your being a true child of God whether you love and feed upon the Word of God. Page 7 of 12

8 John Wesley, Do you not know that God entrusted you with that money (all above what buys necessities for your families) to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to help the stranger, the widow, the fatherless; and, indeed, as far as it will Page 8 of 12

9 go, to relieve the wants of all mankind? How can you, how dare you, defraud the Lord, by applying it to any other purpose? There was a nice home of a lay believer. He had built many churches, helped with tuitions, and secretly helped Pastors. He had taken a Pastor into his home. This man was kicked out of his church. He was told of a lady who sends building materials up to heaven every day. She is very poor in the country but he was told she goes to church every day and prays for 87 church members and afterward cleans the church. As they were receiving materials for her, another delivery came. Her daughter had given her a little money and instead of using it on herself, she had bought eggs and socks for the Pastor. The angels told him when you help to build church buildings or other buildings for Kingdom purposes you will be sending building materials up to heaven for your home. Pastor Park asked, how about my house? They told him he was not allowed to see his house. He kept begging and finally the Lord told them they could let him see it. When they got to where his house was, he said it only had like a foundation, only ready to develop. It was not a house. He said, I sold my home to build a church, wrote many books, and built Christian schools. I have given out more than 400 scholarships, and built homes for widows. The angels replied, you have been honored and praised by the people for all of this. So all of your works were in vain. Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Gal.6:3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. He said his house was only 3 stories and it had very small rooms. He was angry about his house. The angels told him it was not finished because he was not dead and there may be more materials sent up. Page 9 of 12

10 There were two plaque s on the wall. One was a reward because when he was 18 he was on his way to church in the cold and had seen an elderly man on the streets shivering and he stopped and gave him is jacket. The other plaque was because he had bought him some bread with the little money he had. He said it is not the amount that matter, it must be done in genuine faith. The angels told him that in order to get his nice house he had to tell the people about heaven and hell. And he had to build a place for elderly women pastors and evangelists to live. HELL As the angels walked him through a few parts of hell he saw many Christians and did not understand. They explained that most people in the churches today are not true Christians they are church attendants. II Tim.3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. They are not living for Him, not serving Him, not telling anyone about Him, not working for the Kingdom, not studying the Bible or praying for others. The angels told him there were unbelievers and those who believed but did not repent in hell. He saw many pastors, elders, deacons and lay persons. They told him many did not keep Sunday holy, they loved to make money on Sunday. Many there criticized the Pastor s sermons, did not tithe properly, did not pray, did not evangelize at all, harassed their Pastors and came against their authority. They told him that many of them on their death bed thought they did a good job and so they did not repent. The ratio of people going to heaven versus hell was for every 1 person going to heaven there are 1000 going to hell. Page 10 of 12

11 He saw people covered with insects and they were trying to wipe them away and gnashing their teeth but the insects did not go away. They had criticized and back stabbed each other. Some there had jobs, houses and families but did not help the poor. They were stingy and greedy their bellies are full of greed. Jeremiah 5:28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. He saw another group of people and asked what they had done and they said: Criticized their Pastors, backbiting, and ridiculing. They had insulted church and harassed other Christians and caused them to stumble. There were spouses who drank alcohol and were abusive to their family members. Titus 3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. Page 11 of 12

12 I Peter 2:1-2 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guild, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: He saw people having their lips sliced off by demons as if they were slicing fruit. These were people that talked back to their parents and were abusive and rebellious to their parents. Eph.6:1-3 Children obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honor thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. When he came back to his life here on earth, he gave away all that he had. He gave the 5 luxury cars away and the 150,000,000 property. His life changed. He ended the message with this: FORGIVE & REPENT and keep FORGIVING & REPENTING!!!! Please live holy. Don t live for your flesh. Evangelize and bear fruit. Pray for the lost. Pray early in the morning. Keep Sunday holy. Tithe Matt.6:20-21 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
