Friend John Barone of California sent me the below amazing testimony of 19-year-old Ronnie Patterson, son of Pastor Ron Patterson. John says, "I am sincerely convinced that his testimony is genuine, as I met the family while at a prayer gathering with Dr. Richard Eby in Victorville, California about three weeks ago." 

Here are Pastor Patterson's own words about his son, Ronnie, which I have in writing, with permission to share: 

"Ronnie was walking his dog Sandy and singing praise to the Lord on a warm September 2000 day after school. Suddenly, he was in the spirit in the presence of the Lord. Ronnie saw a huge field of beautiful flowers in heaven, each one perfect and without flaw. Then he saw a big wall with a large gate made of solid white pearl columns. On each side, outside the gate, was huge warrior-like angel about twice the size of a normal man. Ronnie said it took very powerful beings to open the enormous gate. 

"Next, Ronnie saw past the gate into the beautiful city on the other side. Every building was made of some material that was as clear as pure water. In the middle of the city, he saw two giant chairs or thrones in an indescribable throne room. Ronnie could not see clearly the figures on the seats as they were engulfed in a cloud-like spirit similar to a force field or a glowing mist of energy. 

"Ronnie was absolutely certain by the power and the presence that these were the thrones of Almighty God, the Father, and Jesus Christ, the Son, surrounded by an unmistakable manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Ronnie was also amazed at a smooth, peaceful, beautiful music that seemed to be all over heaven but was most noticeable in the fields of flowers. 

"After seeing all of this, Ronnie for the first time during this experience, heard a voice speaking directly to him saying, 'Son, look over here.' Ronnie then saw a long series of horse stables as far as he could see to the right and to the left made up of individual horse stalls. Each stall contained a magnificent white horse with angels standing with the horses as caretakers. (One angel per about 20 horses). The Lord told Ronnie that after He removes His people from the earth, Jesus will remain with them in heaven a short time and then lead them back to the earth riding these white horses. He said Jesus will put an end to all who oppose Him and will establish His kingdom in the earth. 

"As the vision concluded, the voice of God continued to speak to Ronnie. The Lord told Ronnie not to listen to the devil any longer. He said that the devil had been condemning Ronnie with lies trying to make him believe that Ronnie was worthless, helpless, without value, and on his way to hell. God told Ronnie that Ronnie is His child, 'a child of God,' and that He was well pleased with him. 

"Next the Lord told Ronnie to stop grieving over being 18 years old and not being able to drive a car as Ronnie had driven himself almost crazy with disappointment over this. The Lord said to Ronnie, 'I AM COMING SO SOON FOR YOU AND MY PEOPLE THAT THERE IS NOT TIME FOR YOU TO DRIVE ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY LEARNING' (emphasis supplied). 

Ronnie had been upset by a friend who believes Jesus has no father. The Lord said that teaching was false. There is one God in three portions, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He also told Ronnie that His fury was at a maximum over the way that His people Israel are being persecuted. 

"The last thing He spoke to Ronnie was a request. He told Ronnie to comfort his dad and to tell him to continue the radio and television broadcasting. He said to keep preaching the soon call of Jesus for His people to come up to heaven. He also said that He was pleased with Brother Mike Yocum and all the help he was to the ministry. Ronnie told the Lord that there was only one other thing bothering him. He was heart-broken at the thought of going to heaven and leaving Sandy behind (Sandy is Ronnie's dog). The Lord told Ronnie not to worry because she is coming with us. I love animals and people (not in quotes, but presumably said by the Lord). 

"Ronnie wanted to distribute this to as many people as possible, especially his family so that he can warn them to give their lives completely to Jesus Christ and won't have to be left behind when the Lord calls His people home." 

Follow up report, August 15, 2001 

On August 13, I shared about 19-year-old Ronnie Patterson's amazing vision and visitation from the Lord in September 2000. 

Since sending it, a couple of readers have questioned the words Ronnie reported from the Lord almost a year ago, "I am coming so soon for you and my people that there is not enough time for you to drive enough to justify learning." At first glance, there appears to have been enough time. 

When I sent the message, I was aware that Ronnie had a learning disability but since the father, Pastor Ron, did not include it in his description of the experience, I did not feel a liberty to include it. However, I spoke on the telephone with Pastor Ron this morning and received his permission. 

He said that Ronnie has a problem with concentration, and that he needs special attention. He said it is somewhat different from the well-known attention deficit disorder in that Ronnie is not hyper. He just has a concentration problem and is a slow learner. He said that by the time Ronnie had studied for and passed the written part to get his learner's permit, then driven long enough to get his regular permit would be many months. In fact, he said it is interesting that the amount of time taken would be to about now -- about a year later. Pastor Ron takes this timing as another sign of the extreme nearness of the rapture. 

Pastor Ron says that Ronnie had never had an experience like that before or since. He said it was so real and dramatic that it totally changed his life. Before, he was depressed that he did not have his drivers license, especially because his younger brother already had his license. Now, Ronnie just doesn't care about his license because he is so caught up in the reality of the Lord's soon return. He has lost all desire to drive a car. The father says that he believes it another confirmation of the experience and the Lord's soon return is that the effect of it on Ronnie has increased over time, not decreased. I spoke with Ronnie, and about the Lord's return, and he excitedly exclaimed, "I can't wait to see Him!" He is intensely excited about the Lord's soon return and the personal confirmation he received. The father says Ronnie has not been the same since the experience. 

Ronnie was overwhelmed about what the Lord said about his dog. When Ronnie was expressing his feelings to the Lord about his dog, the Lord said something to the effect, "You saw all those horses, didn't you? If I can have horses, I can have dogs. I love people and animals." (We know from Revelation that horses are in heaven. As far as I know, the Bible is silent about other animals, as it is silent about a lot of things, especially about heaven, about which we will surely be surprised. But the Bible does not rule out other animals.) It is interesting that Ronnie's experience happened while he was walking his dog. 

Pastor Ron Patterson is a good friend of Dr. Richard Eby, whom many of you know about. Dr. Eby had a clinical death experience about 25 or so years ago, was taken to heaven, sent back by the Lord to communicate his experience and the gospel, and told Dr. Eby that He would return before he died. Dr. Eby is about age 90 now. Pastor Ron says he believes it another sign from the Lord that Dr. Eby has been under great attack the past couple of years and has some serious physical problems. In the natural, his time seems very short. Pastor Ron says that this is another way of the Lord telling us that the time is very short to the rapture. By the way, at his expense, Dr. Eby flies Pastor Ron out from Kentucky to California once a month to teach to his group. I hope this clarification is helpful

Very interesting. JUst wanted to share 
that when my little niece was about 12, 
God took her to heaven in a dream. In 
that dream, she commented that the flowers 
are of such colors that most of them we 
have not yet seen and that they swayed 
to and fro, some sparkled, and some had 
music in the flowers themselves. She looked 
at one that was so beautiful, and wished 
she had it to hold close and instantly 
that flower was in her right hand. She 
said the fragrance was just too incredible 
to even try to tell anyone about.

Hello

May I share this on my forum please.  beautiful

One day we went to another town to shop and went the "back way" through the country,  I'd been in the Spirit singing all day and talking to the Lord.   On the way home I seen hovering above the fields the gates of heaven and the Lord said in affect, that he would soon be back to harvest his own and they would be as many as the kernals of corn  in the fields.   I'll never forget that.

oh how beautiful. No, the things the 
Lord shares in a personal way never 
grow dim-even with passing years, 
and with each thought of them, our 
faith and joy is increased.

Amen,   we have a person in our forum that was a Luthern and just in the last couple of days became a Muslum and when I read it my heart just broke,  all I can do is cry and hopefully we can talk her out of it.

As a matter of fact from gen 9:9 thru 17 the lord tells us 5 times that He is making His covenant with us AND all the living creatures. God thinks so much of all living creatures HE included them in the rainbow promise along with us. Kinda makes me wanna go pet my dog again.....give them an extra hug. 8)

Hi,

 

Good Point!

 

Revelation 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

 

According to this we will be ridding horses out of heaven. I see no reason not to take the verse literally and believe that there are horses and other animals in heaven.

 

Why would heaven be less than what we have now and be less than the original creation of God. Im sure Heaven is more like the Garden of Eden and I to am looking forward to it!

 

God Bless You,

David

Yes, I believe He does too. It's just that 
we are the only ones who can be redeemed 
by the blood.
