A Bible Overflowing With Oil From Heaven

October 12, 2017 therisinglight1@gmail.com 1 Comment

*Disclaimer: Neither The Rising Light nor Shelemah own the Bible with flowing oil and are unable to send you oil. Contact information on how to obtain a vial if interested is at the end of this post. Please do not contact The Rising Light nor Shelemah requesting oil.*

God is doing miracles in the earth, and we are living in a time where these miracles are growing increasingly extravagant. The Rising Light has featured other articles before about oil, manna, gemstones, and even feathers, but I am excited to share this one with you because not only is it a spectacular miracle, but it is current and ongoing.

I was introduced to this particular miracle manifestation via Leah, an inner healing practitioner and owner of Shelemah.com. I was introduced to Leah by a mutual friend. She visited Dalton, Georgia where there is a bible that is literally dripping and flowing with oil from heaven. I spoke with Leah about this, and was very excited to hear about the miracle as I am writing the book “Oil From Heaven” to bring wisdom and revelation on this very miracle. She wrote a blog article about her experience back when it happened in May of 2017, titled “A Bible Dripping With Oil”, and she has given me permission to share her article here. If you want to read the original article and/or visit her site you can click on the title above.

——————————————————————————-

“Yesterday I went on a little adventure. The previous night a friend across the country heard rumor of prayer room walls and a Bible dripping with oil just a few hours from me. A few texts back and forth and she had me connected with a new friend who is a part of the community where this sign and wonder is taking place and I was headed on road trip to meet this beautiful community.

In the back of a little gift shop in Dalton, Georgia there is a prayer room. For the past two years people have gathered there to pray for their city, region, and each other and intermittently oil has dripped from the walls. January 27th of this year one of those prayer warriors, Jerry, noticed his Bible was dripping with oil. Starting with Psalm 39 it spread over the next few days through the rest of the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the concordance. Then the oil started back in Genesis and spread till it covered the whole Bible.

When he realized the oil wasn’t going to stop, Jerry put the Bible in a ziploc bag at first, but as the oil continued, he had to size up to larger and larger containers. The bucket he now keeps it in continues to refill. God told him early on that as long as he gives the oil away freely and does not sell it, the oil will continue to flow. And so in the back of this little gift shop he gives away vials of oil and invites people to dip their hands in it.

He sent a sample of the oil to a chemist who says it is most similar to mineral oil, but that it isn’t mineral oil. It’s totally colorless and odorless and according to the chemist unexplainable.

The little gathering in the back of this gift shop was such a sweet place of love and fellowship. Thirty or so people were there praying for one another, giving prophetic words, and sharing testimonies of healing. They are quick to tell you that it is God, not the oil that is healing people, but there are multiple testimonies of how God has used the oil to heal people of cancer, skin rashes, and other diseases. This news article also reports Jerry’s testimony of the oil as it was told to me when I visited.

When I dipped my hands in the oil it continued to multiply on my hands. My new friend tells me that they have seen this a few times before and it seems to be related to a healing gifting. The feeling of the oil getting heavier on my hands as the quantity of it grew was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It was like the opposite of feeling something dry on your hands. The oil is the thickest I’ve ever seen, similar to castor oil, but is light, silky smooth, odorless, and colorless. Jerry eventually gave me a towel to wipe most of it off and it stopped multiplying but even as I sit here a day later typing I can still see the shiny residue from it on my hands.

Seeing the Bible dripping with oil was an amazing experience that deepened my awe and wonder of what Jesus can do. It really does mess with your head to see something so unexplainable but that clearly is happening. As I have talked with God about the oil and about why this particular sign for our region, He has reminded me how the Bible Belt has often held a trinity of Father, Son, Holy Bible. What better place for Holy Spirit to show up and make Himself known.

Signs and wonders like this are actually more common than we realize but I believe the two extreme responses they tend to get are why we don’t hear of them more often. On one extreme people deny it totally and cling to a cessationist belief that miracles, signs, wonders– basically anything to do with the Holy Spirit stopped with the Bible and it is wrong to believe those things could happen now.

On the other extreme you have people that begin to obsess with the sign and wonder itself, attributing power and significance to it that was never meant to be there. This extreme is the folks that start calling and emailing me insisting they need the oil for themselves (without even reading this article to see that I’m not the right person to call/email). They place their faith in the oil instead of the Giver of the oil. This extreme is also why I have purposely withheld the name of the gift shop and Jerry’s personal contact information.

Yes, oil dripping out a Bible is pretty cool. Yes, I believe the oil is a manifestation of the presence of God. But, if you feel like you need a vial of the oil to pray for healing or experience God’s presence that’s a problem. God does not need the oil to heal. He does not need the oil to make His presence known. And you don’t need it either. If you feel a desperation for the oil itself, go to the Source of the oil in prayer. Don’t just seek out the earthly source carrying it right now. A sign and wonder is supposed to draw you into closer relationship with the Giver of the sign, not create an unhealthy desire in you to possess the sign for yourself. There’s nothing wrong with thinking it would be cool to get some of the oil and wanting to see it for yourself. But it becomes unhealthy if you feel incomplete without the oil.”

Neither of us have the oil-Bible, nor are we in possession of any significant quantity of oil from this Bible. Contact them via their website (www.hisnameisflowingoil.org) on their contact page, or via the Flowing Oil page on Facebook. They also show the events where Jerry, the man who owns the bible dripping with oil, will be present, and you can contact them from there to request the oil. Alternately, you may email flowingoil01272017@gmail.com. They are offering this service free—please consider offering a donation to help cover the cost of shipping the oil, for the time associated with bottling and mailing it, and to help cover costs as they travel around and minister.

Why God Miraculously Gives Gemstones from Heaven

October 20, 2015 therisinglight1@gmail.com 11 Comments

A few years back my wife and I had the opportunity to have a small group meeting where many gemstones appeared supernaturally. A few years later, after holding some meetings hosting a minister with this manifestation, we began to have this happen in our home as well! The many questions we got about this prompted me to write a book titled Gemstones from Heaven, but more importantly it made me really look at the manifestation and consider what God is up to.

GemstonesfromHeaven, Jewelsfromheaven — This stone appeared in May of 2015 to my seven year-old granddaughter. She was upset that God wouldn’t give her a big rainbow-colored stone like she had asked him. I sat her down and we talked about gratitude and appreciating the gifts of gems God was already giving us. She shifted her attitude and went to play and continue to have fun with the gems that were appearing. About twenty minutes later she came running out of her room yelling “God gave me a stone! God gave me a stone! Look everyone!” While that stone may not appear big to some, it’s significantly larger than the stones that normally appear for us, and it was what she was asking for–mostly. She wasn’t sure why it was not multi-colored until I held it up to the sunlight and showed her the rainbows it cast on the wall. Yes, God indeed gave her a rainbow-stone.

Gemstones appearing out of thin air may seem extravagant to some, and they are, but I think that’s the point. Many people ask “why would God do this” but we could equally ask the question “Why not?” Our heavenly father delights in His children. We are his beloved creations and he sent his son Jesus to die so that we might have everlasting life. The Bible says in Romans 8:32 ‘He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will He not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?’ If God would send his son Jesus, anything else pales in comparison, even gemstones.

We tend to view gemstones from heaven as a spectacular miracle–and they are. However, God says in Joel 2:29-30a that ‘Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth . . .’ We are in a period of time where God is yet again pouring out his Spirit and showing forth signs, wonders, and miracles. As the glory of the latter house is to be greater than the former, and the old covenant outdone by the new, how can a God who rained down manna from heaven six days each week for over forty years not do at least the same for us now under a greater covenant through his son Jesus Christ? If we believe manna truly rained from heaven overnight, how can we doubt that God can do the same with gems? How can we place any limits on what God will and won’t do?

gemstonesfromheaven, michaelcking — Gemstones From Heaven

Many different people have experienced this manifestation at this time in history, and it is only increasing. All over the globe God is pouring out gems, regardless of language, intelligence level, gender, or belief. God is even going so far as to give gems to unbelievers! Just recently in my own home God made some gems appear that had a prophetic significance for a self-proclaimed atheist who was our guest at the time. Even after seeing them appear and hearing them fall on the floor out of midair she was questioning them, but the prophetic message wasn’t lost on her and God used that event to spark deeper conversation about Him in the following few days. God is far more gracious and abundant than we are, and even uses the gems as a tool to witness to the lost!

I believe that God wants you to experience this manifestation of His power and love, and I want to pray for you to experience it in your life: Heavenly Father, I ask that you release gemstones from heaven to everyone who reads this today. Let these gems witness to your beauty and goodness and love. Let hearts be transformed by this miracle, sign, and wonder, that our hearts may always and ever turn toward you more fully. We receive this gift not as something we have earned, but as a free gift that comes through your deep love for us, in Jesus name. Amen!

Journey Into the Spirit Realm and Going Before the Throne of God – Howard Pittman’s Near-Death Experience (1979)

June 2, 2011 therisinglight1@gmail.com

On August 3, 1979, Rev. Howard Pittman, realizing that he was about to die, prayed that he would be permitted the privilege of going before the throne of God to ask for an extension on his life.

He was granted this privilege and much about the nature of demons, God, as well as the condition and future of humanity was revealed to him during his journey through the spirit realm.

Angel Feathers — Feathers from Heaven

October 22, 2010 therisinglight1@gmail.com 6 Comments

People around the world have witnessed feathers mysteriously appearing out of thin air. This has happened in church and prayer meetings, in homes, in cars, and other places.

Many people call them angel feathers. This is speculative, but what is clear is that they are a sign of the nearness of God and heaven and his holy angels.

Where do they come from?

Are they actually falling out of angel wings? Are they from birds and being miraculously translocated into people’s homes and churches? Are they manifesting from nothing by a command of God Almighty just as the whole universe materialized in the beginning from the powerful spoken word of God?

It’s a mystery.

However God chooses to do this wonder, it is a great encouragement to saints all over the world who have discovered feathers mysteriously appearing out of thin air.

Remember that even if you don’t get feathers floating into your bedroom that the truth remains that God and his angels are with you. This is a spiritual truth that does not require material evidence. Believe in your heart that God is with you and protecting you and see how He comes through for you time and time again!

Here are two scriptures that give us God’s promise regarding this:

“For the angel of the LORD is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him.” (Psalm 34:7)

“He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.” (Psalm 91:4)

Here is a collection of videos showing feather miracles and people telling their own experiences with this amazing sign of God’s love.

Feathers that Miraculously Appeared Under Girl’s Pillow — A young girl in the Philippines asked God to surprise her on her coming birthday. When she was preparing her bed, she was surprised when more than thirty feathers appeared under her pillow. Feather manifestations has been appearing all over the world. It is a sign of angelic presence and God’s love and protection. (Luke 13:34)

Chad Leatherby’s collection of Angel Feathers 1 – These are shots of unique angel feathers that have appeared out of thin air and shown up inside buildings etc.!

Chad Leatherby’s collection of Angel Feathers 2 — These are angel feathers that showed up on a trip to KC for a conference.

Joshua Mills tells how a Revival started when Angel Feathers and Other Signs Manifested for a Girl — Joshua Mills shares the story of miracles happening in the arctic when a girl started to experience miracles in her room. She was reading Joshua’s book where he was discussing various miracles, and the same type of miracles started to happen in her room. As a result of this she gave her life to Jesus Christ and a powerful move of God happened in that community as other people started to experience the miracles as well – including her husband (who was a drug lord in the community) coming to Jesus. Joshua shares how her husband was upset about the miracles that were happening, and he was going to go to the place where they were happening to create some trouble. But instead he was impacted by God when he arrived, and he turned his life over to Jesus.

Additionally, Author Michael King has written a book on the subject, titled Feathers From Heaven, with the goal of explaining this supernatural manifestation, as well as giving guidance on how we can discern what God is doing and how we can know God is at work through this miracle.

The book chapters, taken from the Amazon page are as listed:

Our Personal Story – This is our family’s personal story of how we started finding Feathers from Heaven.
The Meaning in the Manifestation – This takes a look at God’s plans and purposes through this miracle.
Discernment and Deception – This answers the question “How do I know this is God?”, providing wisdom to help navigate the miracles.
Ruffled Feathers – This addresses some common concerns and objections people have about this manifestation.
Feather Stories – This shares many stories from others recounting their miracle-moments finding heavenly feathers.
How Do I Get This To Happen? – This looks at how we can partner with God to encourage our own feather encounters.
Feathers from Heaven – This is a unique transdimensional feather story meant to expand our beliefs of what is possible.

I hope you have found this article to be a blessing as you remember that God is always with you.

Young boy Aldo McPherson shares a message from God after visiting heaven

October 15, 2010 therisinglight1@gmail.com 5 Comments

On June 19, 2004, a South African family had a serious car accident. The accident left their 12 year old son, Aldo McPherson, in a coma and on life support.

God did a number of miracles for Aldo and his family. God allowed Aldo to experience heaven and then asked Aldo to share a message with the world. God also taught Aldo and his family — especially his mother Retha McPherson — how to speak life and restoration over Aldo’s physical condition. In response to their obedience God began healing Aldo.

Before sharing some of the messages Aldo brought back with him from heaven and some of the lessons Retha McPherson learned, I would like to share this video documenting Aldo’s recovery process after the accident.

Aldo McPherson’s Recovery

You can also watch Retha McPherson tell her family’s story as she is interviewed on It’s Supernatural with Sid Roth (below).

Retha McPherson on It’s Supernatural

Aldo was unable to speak after his coma so he had to write when he wanted to communicate. He began writing to tell his family and the world what he had experienced in heaven and what God had been revealing to him.

His original letters were written in Afrikaans. You can see some of them and read the English translation provided under each one. Here is The Collection of Aldo McPherson’s hand-written letters from 2005 to the present.

It looks like the letters included in this collection supplement the ones already published in Aldo and Retha McPherson’s books. You can see some of these very interesting letters and read more of the story in the book A Message from God co-authored by Aldo McPherson and his mother Retha McPherson, which is available as a print book or as a digital ebook in our bookstore.

Plane Crashes, Man Burns, Enters Glory – The Falling to Heaven Testimony

April 2, 2010 therisinglight1@gmail.com

Now, with modern medicine’s improved resuscitation techniques, we have many near death experience stories. But today, I want to share an NDE that occured over 40 years ago.

I recently came across the amazing testimony of a sky diver named Mickey Robinson. Back in August 15, 1968 tragedy hit. The airplane was making a sharp ascent when the engines stopped and the plane crash landed. The pilot was burned alive.

Most of the sky divers were able to get out of the plane without much damage. But Mickey was stuck in the plane because his harness was caught on something. By the time he was rescued, he was severely burned over 35% of his body. He would spend 167 consecutive days in the hospital and go through years of hospital treatment and endure over 50 surgeries.

At one point, the hospital called his sister and said if you want to see your brother, you better see him this morning because he may not be here this afternoon. It was that day, that Mickey’s spirit left his body and he experienced eternity.

I have found three videos where he shares aspects of his near death experience. The first one I saw was this recent interview with Patricia King through my iTunes subscription to Extreme Prophetic Television. However, I notice that the video is not playing correctly on her website (at least on my computer). I hope it plays for you because it is a great interview and the main reason I got interested in Mickey Robinson’s testimony. I recommend subscribing to the iTunes Extreme Prophetic Television podcast and watching the interview posted February 28, 2010.

Or you can watch this Sid Roth interview done 3 years ago. This is also a great interview because, in addition to his near death experience, Mickey shares how his blind eye was restored and how God healed him of damage that was considered incurable by the medical community. And then there is another surprising miracle healing that Mickey reveals in this video — but I don’t want to ruin the surprise…

Both of those interviews are a summary of his near death experience and won’t take much time to watch.

If you would like Mickey Robinson’s book telling his story, check out his book ‘Falling Into Heaven‘.

Jewels Falling from Heaven in Puerto Rico

December 10, 2009 therisinglight1@gmail.com 21 Comments

Jewels are materializing out of thin air in Puerto Rico. And there is more: Gold dust and oils are also mysteriously showing up.

These kinds of supernatural manifestations–gemstones, oil, and gold, have been reported all over the world. It is not uncommon to hear of a worshipper with oil oozing from their hands, feathers floating over their heads, or even gemstones and gold dust sprinkling a place of worship where the Holy Spirit and angels are given permission to do whatever they wish.

What is surprising about this humble little Puerto Rican church is the sheer volume of heavenly treasures showing up.

What this church is experiencing are creative miracles. For Creator God to do this is SO easy. He can and will do even greater things than this. He has a purpose in all of this. Here are a few possible messages he may be trying to convey to us through these signs and wonders:

The gemstones may convey how precious we are to him. He manifests in our material world tokens of the value that he attributes to us in the spiritual world.
The gemstones may indicate how valuable our worship is to him.
He may be trying to teach us that we do not need to worry about material needs if only we have and rely on him. See Matthew 6:25-32 which tells us not to worry about material needs and concludes by saying, “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
He may be trying to show his children that heaven is not so far away after all. We can enter the heavenly places and the things of heaven can enter our earthly realm. When we worship, a beautiful exchange takes place between heaven and earth. I will worship God with all my heart and let heaven fill my heart!
Remember that the streets of heaven are made of gold. I bet the angels DO have a bunch of gold dust on their feet. Usually the gold dust does not transfer to our world but in this case God allowed it to happen as a sign to his people that angels are with them.

The video tells us that the bible on the pulpit is always turned to the end of Psalms and the beginning of Proverbs. That means that the last psalm would be visible to anyone who looked at the bible. This psalm is especially appropriate. Check it out:

“Praise the LORD.

Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.

Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD.”

Daniel Ekechukwu was the victim of a fatal car accident.

By God’s grace and power, he was resurrected three days later. You can learn the details of his story and see images of his death certificate and the mortuary’s entry here. You can also download a free eBook featuring his story and 25 other near death experiences.

While dead, Daniel was guided by an angel on a visit to heaven and hell.

A short dramatization of his experience along with some actual footage is here:

Here is the story from Daniel and those involved in the resurrection as they share their experiences and what they saw.

New Zealand Man Dies and Sees a Glimpse of Eternity

August 4, 2009 therisinglight1@gmail.com

Near death experiences are particularly fascinating to me. By hearing these stories we get a chance to see through another person’s eyes what we may one day see when we pass from this life to the next. I say may because there seem to be two kinds of afterlife experiences: one is positive and the other is negative. So, we don’t all experience the exact same thing after life.

The story I want to share with you today is the story of Ian McCormack. This surfer from New Zealand has a close encounter with a group of box jellyfish (yes, the same kind of sea animal in the movie ‘Seven Pounds’). These extremely poisonous animals sting him and he struggles to live as the poison spreads through his body.

He eventually drifts into the afterlife…

You can see the TBN interview and broadcast here, with the full testimony below.

Here is a video of Ian telling his story for himself. By watching I believe you will really get a sense of how much this experience has touched his heart.

You have to see this…

Thanks for watching.

If you are interested in learning more, you can find more about Ian and his ministry on his website, A Glimpse of Eternity

Thanks again for watching. If this video touched your heart, I hope you will share a comment.
