It's humbling, yet liberating, to know that we can now possibly reach millions with one post. May it be through a photo, a video, an article, or an artwork. That's why I'm passionate about Digital Media, for we can save a soul one post at a time. And through it, we can see "that in the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Let's reclaim the Media for Jesus!

5-Year-Old Girl Sees Jesus In Heaven, And Is Telling The World Of His Love

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

She was just five years old when Ginger saw Jesus in heaven. It was her first time attending a church service, and God met her there.

Ginger Ziegler

Ginger was raised in a non-Christian, abusive home. In their household, they weren’t allowed to go to church.

But one day, a woman took her to a meeting, and she had a vision. She saw the Messiah.

It was a tent meeting and people were all over the place worshiping.

“I’ve never been to anything like that. I was frightened because we weren’t allowed to go to church,” Ginger said.

All of a sudden, she was taken up by something out of her control. The top of the tent went away, and everything started to vanish.

Ginger Saw Jesus in Heaven

“I was going up, up, up, up. I didn’t know what was happening because I didn’t read the Bible, had no knowledge. But I looked up, and there was Jesus, and He revealed Himself to me on the cross. But He was looking straight into my eye. I mean, His eyes were in my eyes; my eyes were in His eyes. I was a little girl, so I was just looking at Him. His blood came down, and I was just looking at Him.

“He never said a word, but something so miraculous happened to me. I was so changed. He came, His blood came down, and then I don’t know how long I was gone. I didn’t even know I was gone,” Ginger recalled the moment.

That day, she went home excited and read the Bible that her grandmother had. And she ended up giving her life to Jesus.

Decades Later

Life went on for Ginger as she became a wife and a mother. Again, much later in her life, she saw Jesus in heaven again.

It happened when she was attending a service. The preacher talked about the Holy Spirit, and Ginger remembered how excited and hungry she was for God during that time.

So, when she went home, went to the closet, opened her Bible, and prayed.

There, in that closet, she saw Jesus in heaven. Like what happened when she was just five years old, only better.

“I was lying on the ground, and my fingers were touching His toes. I could see Him but I also saw Him from here [the waist] down. The throne was huge. I was amazed because I thought everything in heaven is white. But it wasn’t. I had this beautiful color that I’ve never seen before,” Ginger described.

God’s Love

Ginger went on to describe how she realized God was love. “I realized His throne is made of love. His clothes, His robe, it was love, and it was iridescent. And I was just worshiping and like, “He loves me. Oh my God, You love me.” I was just so overwhelmed. And I said, “Lord, Lord. They didn’t know You loved them. I got to go all around the world and convince them. Even if they are saved or not saved.”

“The next thing I know, I’m back in the closet.”

Ginger went outside the closet glowing and full of God’s glory, which shocked her family. Because of that experience, she went everywhere telling people about God’s love. To her family, friends, and even to a policeman who was directing traffic.

A person is forever changed when God encounters them. And for Ginger, she made sure to share her supernatural experience so people would also encounter God’s love.

Woman Has Two Abortions Then Encounters Her Children In Heaven

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

A woman had two abortions, but she didn’t expect to go to heaven and hear what she had been longing to hear from her kids.

Donna Grisham

16-year-old Donna just wanted to have a good time at the bowling alley with a friend. And earlier that night, her grandmother told her not to leave the place without permission.

There, Donna and her friend met two guys. Her friend wanted to go riding with them because she really liked one of the guys. Due to peer pressure, Donna went and tagged along. On the way back to the bowling alley, one of the guys and Donna were left alone.

And the unthinkable happened. She was raped in the front seat of the car. When she told her friend about it, her friend didn’t believe her.

But something else happened. She got pregnant.

Two Abortions

After knowing that she was 25 weeks pregnant, Donna knew she couldn’t raise the baby. So she decided to get an abortion.

“I was living to die. I was trying to commit suicide, but even that I couldn’t do right. It was just a mess,” Donna shared.

READ ALSO: MAN DIES AND JESUS SAYS TWO WORDS TO HIM WHILE IN HEAVEN

After a while, Donna got pregnant again with a man she was close with. But she decided to get an abortion again.

“When they turned the machine on, literally, a light came inside of me, and I started screaming. “Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off!””

But it was too late.

After many years, God healed her relationship with the father of her second baby, and they became good friends.

“God just healed the relationship, our friendship actually, because that was what it was meant to be,” Donna said.

What Her Children Told Her in Heaven Will Make You Weep!

But Donna got pregnant again.

“I was living to die. So, I wasn’t really thinking about what I was doing. I had no purpose, no random reason for being here,” she said.

Initially, Donna thought about getting an abortion. But after sharing her story with the church, she was compelled to do otherwise. And one day, while she was worshiping with fellow believers, she transcended into heaven.

She described it this way:

“I was actually on this park bench, and I was so taken with this park bench. And I was looking down and looking all around. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen. There was gold on it; I mean, it was beautiful. The grass was beautiful; there were flowers, and there was like a flowing river.

“All of a sudden, a little girl and a little boy came running up to me. They climbed up in my lap, and they started kissing me, one on one. They went on the other cheek. And they started telling me, “We forgive you, mommy, we forgive you, mommy.” And said, “We love you, mommy, we love you.” They said, “We’ll see again.

“And instantly I was back on the couch. I can still feel their kisses and their little lips kissing my cheeks,” Donna shared with tears in her eyes.

Her Testimony of Having Two Abortions and Being Healed

Now that Donna is completely free and healed, she wants to say something to anyone who is struggling in the same way:

“I just want to say that if you’re a woman, and if you’ve had an abortion and you’re struggling with knowing where your babies are. If you’re wondering if your babies are okay, I just want you to know that Jesus wants you to know that your babies are with Him. And they’re being well taken care of. In fact, they’re enjoying heaven so much that they are actually praying for us. Our babies in heaven are part of the great cloud of witnesses.

“They’re praying for freedom. Freedom for you. And they want you to know that they love you and that they forgive you,” Donna said.

She then went on to pray for others who were struggling until now:

“I just pray and ask the LORD to just heal every wound, every place, and every hurt. I ask the LORD to remove every part of shame. That He will just strip you of the shame that that’s been put on you. And that He would clothe you in a robe of righteousness. And you will know that you are going to see your baby again in heaven.”

AMEN.

On The Verge Of Death, An 11-Year-Old Sees Jesus And The Golden Gates Of Heaven

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

Paisley was just eleven years old when she met Jesus in heaven. Not only that, but she also saw the golden gates of heaven.

The Golden Gates of Heaven

When she was five years old, Paisley became very sick. She would often go to the bathroom because of extreme nausea.

Unknown to her, it was where she would see the hands of God reaching out to her.

“It all started when I was five years old. I was super sick and had a running fever. So I went to the bathroom and started vomiting. And I saw a hand coming through in the corner of my wall. And there were like clouds all around it. Then it disappeared,” she recalled.

That day, she went to the ER. And there, they discovered what had caused her to become ill.

Experiencing Heaven

“We went to the ER, and apparently I had West Nile leading to meningitis. When I went to the bathroom, the hand was back. He pulled me back– He pulled me into heaven. Next thing you know, I’m inside of heaven,” Paisley recalled.

There, she saw her grandfather, whom she called Papa. He died almost nine years ago.

“He was wearing khaki-colored overalls with his messy paintbrushes. And his two paint buckets around him. He’s a painter. He painted a lot of houses back then,” she said.

Seeing Jesus and the Golden Gates of Heaven

“I saw Jesus! I saw the big old golden gate. They were big, and they were beautiful. They were golden, they were shiny, and they were super, super big, with guardian angels around them. Holding it like a bucket-shaped spear. I did see a lot of angels.

“Also, feathers. Like waves of feathers. Really, really pretty. And then I saw Jesus staring into some hole. Like a hole inside the clouds. He was like staring into some kid. I don’t know who that was.”

But Paisley later realized that she was that kid. Her relative who was filming her said, “He was looking down at you because you’re in the middle of dying. And Jesus was looking down at you.”

“He was looking down on a hole, and He slowly turned His head towards me. Jesus made a hand gesture, and everything closed, and it went black. And I came back to life. And I looked up and saw my unicorn balloon,” Paisley added.

Another Kid Saw Her in Heaven

She was in a coma for a few days stayed in the hospital for about six weeks. She couldn’t see, talk, write, or walk.

“I was like being born again. So I had to learn to do everything again,” Paisley said.

“So you believe Jesus gave you a second chance at life?” her relative asked, to which she answered, “He did.”

“And heaven is real?”

“Heaven is real. I’ve experienced it. I’m an 11-year-old kid, but I’ve seen heaven.”

But she wasn’t the only one who saw it.

“There was a friend of mine. I didn’t know her then, but she’s now my best friend ever. She had a seizure on the same day as me. She also saw God, and she also saw me talking to my Papa in heaven. And she also saw Jesus looking into that hole. She saw me in heaven.”

Paisley only knew about it a few weeks later, and during the first day at school, they met.

Heaven is Real

May this be a reminder and a source of hope to anyone who’s struggling right now that even though sorrow and loss happen here on earth, eternal life filled with joy is waiting for those who receive Jesus as their LORD and Savior.

Man Imprisoned For 26 Years Worships God

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

Imprisoned for 26 years was the man playing the guitar, and his inmates sang along with him.

“Praise You In This Storm”

Four prison inmates sang “Praise You In This Storm,” a song by Casting Crowns. The video showed that the song was sang wholeheartedly.

The lyrics goes:

And I’ll praise You in this storm

And I will lift my hands

For You are who You are

No matter where I am

And every tear I’ve cried

You hold in Your hand

You never left my side

And though my heart is torn

I will praise You in this storm

I remember when

You heard my cry to You

And raised me up again

But my strength is almost gone

How can I carry on

If I can’t find You?

Man Imprisoned For 26 Years

The man playing the guitar has been imprisoned for 26 years, but he set to be released in two years. The song meant so much to him, he’s taught it to all the other inmates.

Additionally, God behind bars wrote, “Whenever he felt lost, alone, and wanted to give up, he would play this song and worship. It gave him hope in Jesus; it gave him strength to carry on! And then, he taught the other men to sing this song when they feel the same. God is using the incarcerated to shine a bright light of hope.”

He may have been imprisoned for 26 years, but his soul is finally free!

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,

for the Lord has anointed me

to bring good news to the poor.

He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted

and to proclaim that captives will be released

and prisoners will be freed” (Isaiah 61:1, NLT).

God Behind Bars

“Since 2009, God Behind Bars has partnered with churches around the country to transform the lives of prison inmates and their families. Most prisoners—as many as 92% of all incarcerated individuals—will be released back to society at some point, and 75% of them will return to prison within three years. We address this problem with a unique three-step approach that focuses on the physical, spiritual, and relational needs of inmates and their families.

“By inviting God into prison and showing His love in tangible ways, God Behind Bars is restoring lives, building faith, fighting addictions, reconnecting families, and giving thousands of inmates hope for the future.” – God Behind Bars

How Do I Talk To My Friends About Jesus?

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

In an episode of Real Truth. Real Quick., Rick Smith and Todd Wagner tackled one of the most common questions Christians face: How do I talk to my friends about Jesus?

Start with Love, Not Weirdness

“Don’t be weird,” was Todd’s very first piece of advice. “Let’s share joyfully, authentically, and out of love. This is how you do it.”

Todd went on to emphasize the importance of treating friends as friends—not projects to be completed or people to be pressured.

“You love them. You’re not going to be more loved by God if you convert them,” he said. “In fact, I never have this conversation with someone like I’m trying to convert them—because I’m not. God is the one who brings about transformation.”

It’s Not You, It’s the Holy Spirit

Todd pointed to John 16:8, which says:

“He will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment.”

He explained that it’s the Holy Spirit’s job to convict and change hearts. Believers are simply called to participate in what the Spirit is already doing—by loving well and living in a way that sparks curiosity.

“What I’m going to do is love them and live before them in such a way that they would be curious,” Todd said.

Relational Evangelism

This approach is known as relational evangelism—building real friendships and sharing the Gospel naturally through those relationships.

“People I engage with in life, at some point in our friendship, I want them to know about the things I’m most passionate about. If I’m a friend, and I have something that’s a blessing to me, I’m going to share it with you,” Todd said. “Friends share blessings with one another.”

It’s Less Awkward Than You Think

Rick added that in his own experience, conversations about faith were almost always more natural than he expected.

“I find a lot of times, in our own minds, we make it seem more awkward than it really is,” he said. “Most of the time, when I engage with someone, it ends up being better than I thought it would be. They were glad that someone, in the middle of talking about the Mavericks or the Cowboys, took a moment to ask them something deeper.”

Share the Good News

“Because people want good news,” Todd said. “As followers of Christ, we shouldn’t forsake gathering with other believers, but we should also be developing authentic relationships with those far from God—and love them joyfully. Share with them what matters most to you.”

Overcoming Severe Stroke Through Powerful Prayers

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

Doug and Patty Nichols shared a testimony about the prayers that helped Doug overcome a severe stroke.

The Unexpected

After enjoying a stroll along the beach earlier in the day, Doug and Patty Nichols were on holiday in Florida on March 8, 2015. During dinner, Patty realized something was seriously wrong with her husband.

“I looked over at him and I said, ‘Oh gosh, he’s having a stroke.’ His face didn’t look right, and when he spoke, it was all gibberish,” Patty said.

She immediately drove Doug to the emergency room. Shortly after, the doctors informed her that Doug had suffered a mini-stroke and would be kept overnight for observation. Patty returned to their condo to rest—only to receive devastating news.

Severe Stroke

The doctors called to inform her that Doug had experienced a severe stroke while in the ambulance and had been transferred to a different hospital.

“The doctor said, ‘As you can see, he lost two-thirds of the right side of his brain, which affected the left side of his body. We don’t know if he’s going to make it through the night,’” Patty recalled. “It was scary. But I prayed and told God, ‘You know what? It’s in Your hands.’”

READ: JOHN AND LISA BEVERE TALKS ABOUT THE POWER OF LONG TERM OBEDIENCE

Patty picked up her phone and called everyone she could think of, asking for prayers for Doug. That evening, something unexpected happened.

“As I was lying there, I was worried about not being able to sleep and what was going to happen next,” Doug recalled.

Overcoming a Severe Stroke Through Powerful Prayers

“I felt a presence in the room that I couldn’t explain,” he added. “In hindsight, I believe it was the intercessory prayers happening at that time. It was something from God, that’s all I know. It calmed me, and I eventually fell asleep. The next morning, my wife came into the room. The first thing I said to her was, ‘Remember your promise to God—in sickness and in health, till death do us part.’”

Doctors were working to control Doug’s atrial fibrillation, which had caused the strokes. At that point, he was still unable to move or speak from the left side of his body.

But the prayers continued. And by the eighth day, Doug began to walk, and his motor function started to return.

Completely Healed

After four months of rehabilitation, Doug regained 95% of his motor skills. He returned to driving and working not long after. To complete the journey, Doug and Patty went back to Florida nearly a year later to finish their interrupted vacation.

Today, Doug serves as a peer mentor, offering encouragement and hope to other stroke survivors. He and Patty believe that his recovery was nothing short of miraculous and give full credit to God.

“It still brings me to tears,” Doug said. “Everyone gathering and praying—it was an unbelievable effort to save me and heal me. It’s all God. It’s not me, and it’s all for His glory. Prayer is powerful, and I am living proof of the healing power of God.”

Former Porn Star Left the Industry and Found True Love

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

Former porn star Brittni de la Mora shared her testimony about how she left the industry and found God, her one true love.

Former Porn Star Brittni De La Mora

Before knowing Jesus, Brittni grew up in a dysfunctional household. Her family didn’t know the Lord and there was a lot of verbal, emotional, and physical abuse in their household. So, she started looking for love in all the wrong places.

“In my search for love it took me to like just different relationships, where my heart was broken and eventually I found myself in the adult film industry,” she said.

She performed in pornography for seven years of her life. She also battled with drug addiction.

But then she met Jesus.

“I met Jesus on an airplane, to film what would become my very last important scene. I had received a Bible at one point in my porn career and I brought my Bible on the airplane that day. And I was reading this Bible verse and the Holy Spirit really started to minister to me. He said, “Brittni, this isn’t the life that I have for you,” Brittni recalled.

Knowing Jesus

The voice continued, “The life that I have for you will overflow with so much love, peace, and joy. And if you would just quit the porn industry today, I would bless your life like no man ever could.”

After Brittni quit the porn industry, she started going to church and fell so in love with the presence of God. She started seeking the Lord through prayer, worship, reading the Bible, and started fasting, too.

PASTOR CRAIG GROESCHEL: “HOPE ALONE WILL NOT CHANGE YOU LIFE, HABITS WILL”

“I really just grew in God and He began to heal my heart. He healed my soul,” she said.

Brittni was also able to forgive every person that hurt her. She also took a year off of dating because men were her weakness and she wanted to grow strong in the Lord.

“So I made a commitment to Him. I said, “I’m not going to date anybody for an entire year.” So there was definitely a process of a healing journey but after I got through that, I mean the Lord has really done what He said He would do,” she said.

Former Porn Star Left the Industry and Found True Love

God blessed not only her soul but He blessed Brittni externally with an amazing husband, too. He is a pastor and now they both lead lovealwaysministries.com. They have two beautiful daughters and they’re helping people set free from porn, performers, and people who are in the industry. They are also helping them encounter Jesus as well.

We serve a wonderful God, and we hope this story inspires you to believe that God can meet you where you are and set you free, no matter the chains that bind you.

After Being Paralyzed by a Car Accident, This Man Received a Message From God

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

A man testified to a life-changing event after being paralyzed by a car accident that turned his life around. When he was about to give up, he heard a message from God.

Paralyzed by a Car Accident

When he got into an accident, Vincent didn’t know if he would ever recover.

He was on his way to help his younger brother, who had a problem with his car.

“I pull the truck back, and I pull out on the highway, taking my time. I don’t put my seatbelt back on simply because this is just a quick, little turnaround. This is easy; we do this all the time,” he recalled.

But as soon as he got to the farthest fast lane, another pickup truck was coming off the exit and T-boned Vincent right in the middle of his pickup truck.

“Almost split it in half. I flew from the driver’s side all the way to the passenger side of the truck, and the most damage was done when my neck snapped back and my spine was severed,” he said.

Healed After Being Paralyzed by a Car Accident

He woke up in the hospital a couple days later, but what he noticed was that he couldn’t feel his body. Before he could even get a thought of what was going on, he heard the voice of the Lord.

“Don’t panic. I will heal you.”

READ: PASTOR STEVEN FURTICK SHARES A BATTLE STRATEGY WHEN YOU’RE STUCK IN YOUR THOUGHTS

“Those few words taught me that this wasn’t a punishment; this was an assignment. … It’s almost like God just knows who can handle what. He said, He’ll never put more on you than you can bear, and I truly believe that. I’ve lived it,” Vincent said.

In moments like that, all you can do is lean on God. You don’t know that God is all you need and that God is all you have until you’ve seen the dead end.

And so, because of what happened, Vincent made up his mind.

Who is Jesus to You?

“I made it my mind immediately; I’m going to be the guy who applies everything that I’ve believed in my whole life. In this season, I need God more now than ever,” he said.

When asked who Jesus was to him, he said, “Everything. He’s my example; He’s my father; He’s my strength. … I believe that Jesus is the true Son of God. He walked this earth, He lived, He was crucified, He gave His life for us. … I shall live and not die. He died so that I can be here today and live. He died so that I could live for him,” he concluded.

I Was Paralyzed by Car Accident, then GOD Said This to Me...

Former Gang Member Prayed For The First Time While Hiding From The Police Outside The Church

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

A former gang member who didn’t know how to pray, but he called out to God and received His love.

Former Gang Member

A former gang member recalled being happy when he was in jail. For him, it was like an accomplishment.

“I remember being glad that I have gotten locked up. Because of, I mean, how much I had accomplished at that time. As a criminal, I had committed a murder and several armed kidnappings,” he said.

He didn’t think about God during those times. The first time he prayed, it was because he was hiding from the police.

“I remember the first time I thought about God, I was on the run in a stolen car, and I parked outside a church to hide from the police. And I remember praying to God for the first time, just a random prayer. I didn’t want to change. But it was the first time I thought about God in any way,” he said.

Former Gang Member Found Hope In Jesus

Even though he didn’t want anything to do with God, he found hope when someone put a Bible under his bed. That was the start of his pursuit of God.

“I am in prison for life. I was hopeless until I found Jesus. I remember when I got to jail, I came to my bunk and a Bible was laying on my bed. And I just started reading and I couldn’t stop. It was at that moment that I started having self-disgust. I started feeling bad about what I had done, which I had never felt before. It was all God. It was ALL God.”

READ: FORMER ALCOHOLIC WOMAN RECEIVED DELIVERANCE & SALVATION THROUGH PRAYER

“And during those days of reading the Bible, I gave my life to Jesus, and I have never been the same. And When I found Jesus, I found purpose. I have apologized to some of my victims and their families and told them how sorry I am,” he said while tearing up.

A New Beginning

Because of God’s conviction through His Word, this former gang member is experiencing a new life. He is now partnering with God to share the Good News with the people inside the prison walls.

“During my time in prison, I graduated from seminary, and now I am one of the pastors here in prison. I am one of the very few inmates that gets to go into cells to pray and share Jesus with other inmates,” he said.

He is also teaching the re-entry program for the men who will get out of prison. During the years he has taught, there are ZERO inmates who have come back to prision.

“I know without a shadow of doubt that God did something to my heart. I have not been the same ever since,” he concluded.
