"Heaven is for real
book - something that caught my attention"
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
I read the wonderful testimony of little Colton Burpo who
visited Heaven during a near death experience - his father is a
Pastor - Todd Burpo. One of the things Colton saw was the
future battle of armageddon and it came up in conversation
when he was only about 5 years old when his Dad jokingly
told him there wouldn't be swords in Heaven (Colton likes
to play with swords - warrior games). He said "there are
too swords in Heaven Daddy"!! His parents have been very
careful not to lead him so his Dad cautiously asked him "what
makes you think that" and Colton answered "because I saw you
fighting Dad - it was a big fight between Jesus and lots
of His people and you were fighting alongside him and your
weapon was a bow and arrow but other people had swords".
Colton is now almost 13 years old and it came to me - or the
Holy Spirit dropped it in my mind that he had ONLY seen his Dad
fighting - not himself. This suggests to me that he will
not be old enough to fight at the Battle of Armageddon which he
aptly described.
We are so very close!!!!!
On a personal note - I would highly recommend this book - Heaven
is for real by Todd Burpo (Colton's Father) - it spoke to my
spirit in a huge way - my spirit was leaping for joy - at times
I wept - at other times I laughed and it was totally
unputdownable!! I believe it's authenticity 100% whereas
books like Choo Thomas - Heaven is so real - haven't grabbed me
at all. The innocence of a child who visited heaven - when
he was only 4 years old.
Even so Lord Jesus - come quickly!!
Lovingly ysiC, Susan in Aussie Land
