In my ten years of working in prison ministry I've seen God do many wonderful things, I've also experienced a miraculous healing, December 13, 2023 I witnessed a glimpse of Heaven. A team of pastors and prison ministry volunteers went to the Mark W. Michael Unit to baptize 46 men.
Why was a baptism a glimpse of Heaven? Because these 46 men were White, Black, Hispanic, Mixed, they were previously identified by the color of their skin, now all were brothers in Christ, no longer identified by lies that separated, now joined together by the forgiveness of sins by the confession of their mouths that Jesus died for their sins.
As I watched man after man get baptized, it was around the thirtieth man who when he came out of the water I saw a Third Reich Eagle with Swastika tattooed across his stomach. I stepped back and I heard the Holy Spirit whisper in my ear " look at what I am doing, not the tattoo" it took me a minute to realize what the Holy Spirit was saying. The first man I baptized that night had been a Blood, when I met him in 2014 he would not look me in the eyes, now after believing in Jesus he asked me to baptize him. I looked at the men who had been baptized and those standing in line waiting to be baptized and I spotted at least a dozen men who were once gang affiliated. During the time they were gang affiliated they would never stand in line in their underwear waiting to be baptized with men of different races, now they didn't see race they saw Jesus in each other.
Revelation 7:9-11 ”After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands. And they were shouting with a great roar, “Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!” And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living beings. And they fell before the throne with their faces to the ground and worshiped God.“
