>> My name is Tony Kemp, and in 1989, I had a surprise.
And here was the surprise.
It was a supernatural experience that I was not looking for.
What happened was, it was it was 4:00 in the morning, 1989,
in the month of December. And there was an angel.
He was between five ten
and six feet tall, very handsome man.
Looked like he was between twenties and thirties.
He had dark hair.
The next thing I knew, I was outside of my body.
These angels took me and we sped up through the heavens.
And I mean, I saw star systems.
We passed by them so very, very quickly.
And the next thing I knew, I was in heaven.
And in the book of the Prophet Isaiah,
chapter six, the prophet talks about this heavenly temple.
And inside of the temple, God Almighty is there.
And in the Book of Revelation
it talks about this heavenly temple.
And I saw this. I was outside of the temple,
there was an angel standing in front of me,
I looked up and I saw lightning.
And instantly I knew that I had an appointment with God.
Because in the realm of heaven, or in the spiritual realm,
you instantly know things no one has to tell you.
So the angel stood before me, instantly
I knew I had an appointment with God,
and there was a door there that I saw.
And instantly I knew that it was closed.
It was a door into the place
where God the Father sits, and the Lord Jesus also.
And so the angel literally walked through the door
and I knew I was supposed to follow the angel,
and so I followed the angel through the door.
And the first thing I see is this bright white light
and this smoke or this cloud.
Here was the person of God the father.
Did I see his face? No, I couldn't see anything
because of the brightness of the light
that emanated from his person
and because of the smoke or the, the manifest glory of God.
But then I had the sense that I should look to my left,
which would have been the right of God the Father,
and I probably should say this.
The Apostle Paul said that God the father is in a light
that no man can see. And to be honest with you,
I wasn't thinking about that at the time,
but I tested it and I never could see through the light
or the cloud to see the facial features of God the Father.
I did try, but it never happened.
So I can tell you what the Apostle Paul
said in the Word of God is true.
When I turned to my left, which would be to the father's right,
and there was the person of Jesus Christ.
And He is the most lovely person,
the most beautiful person, the kindest person,
the most gracious person that there ever is.
Now, when I saw Jesus, I did not see him like, like
John did in the Book of Revelation,
where his hair was white as wool,
and his eyes were like fire,
and he had a white beard and a white robe
and a golden sash
and feet that seemed like they were glowing.
I did not see him in his glory. I saw what the Bible says
is the mediator between God and men.
The Man Christ, Jesus, the God-man Jesus.
Make no mistake, He is God as much as the Father is
and as much as the Holy Spirit is.
But I saw him in the form of the man.
Jesus looked to be about six feet tall.
He had the skin tone of a man living in the Middle East.
He had chocolate brown,
sort of curly hair falling on to his shoulders,
you know, and his eyes, by the way, do change color.
They can appear blue. They can appear green.
They can appear brown. He had a chocolate mustache and beard.
He had a white robe on.
And there were also other witnesses there in the temple.
But let's, let's, let me share this with you.
The first thing that the father says,
is he says to me, he says, take notes and learn.
And so I was there to learn of the father
and I was there to learn of Jesus.
And so heaven is a place of learning.
If I can say this to you, when you go to heaven,
you have no cares.
All the weight that you feel right down here on the earth,
all of the concerns, all of the cares,
all of the worries, all the pressures
that are related to life here on the Earth,
the minute that you escape your body
and you live in Jesus Christ by virtue of faith and obedience
and a relationship with God through Jesus,
all of those cares disappear. You are completely weightless.
And if I can say this to you,
just to give you some knowledge and some information,
all of your, let's say this, your physical flaws disappear.
So if you had any sickness, once you're in heaven,
that sickness is gone.
If you had any problems with your eyes, it's gone.
If you had any problems with your ears, it's gone.
You have a spirit body that looks absolutely perfect.
You look so good and you feel so good,
and there's such peace there.
I'm giving you this truth of this revelation.
And you feel the love of the father
and you feel the joy of the Lord.
In fact, there's a song called I Could Only Imagine.
And I don't have to imagine, because when I landed in heaven,
if I could share this heavenly experience with you,
it was like I was on the ground
and this joy exploded from within me.
It was so indescribable. It was so overwhelming.
But I couldn't say, Praise the Lord.
I couldn't say hallelujah. I couldn't say thank you, Jesus.
I was literally speechless. I was overcome.
The apostle Peter, in one of his letters said
It is joy, unspeakable and full of glory.
And that's true. It is indescribable joy.
And what I want to say to you is, there is incredible love.
And matter of fact,
I'll share this with you, in the Book of Ephesians,
chapter three, it talks about that you can, you
can know the love of Christ,
which passes intellectual knowledge,
and that you can be filled with all the fullness of God.
And in chapter three of the Book of Ephesians
that Paul wrote, in the Greek,
it means you're so full of God that you vibrate.
Well, I remember being so full of God in heaven
that I literally vibrated in total, complete ecstasy.
The love of the Father brought me to tears.
The joy of Jesus was beyond anything
I had ever experienced before. And this is what awaits you.
You know, Jesus talked about those who serve him
and serve the father,
and he said in one of his teachings,
enter into the joy of the Lord.
Listen, this is the Father's joy.
This is the joy of Jesus.
Now you experience some of this here upon the Earth,
but the intensity of it when you go into glory
is beyond anything that you have ever felt.
And let me share some other truth with you.
Everything in heaven is alive. The trees are alive.
The flowers are alive. The atmosphere is alive.
There's a river of life. I witnessed this.
I saw a pure white light in the form of a man.
It was a person of God, the father.
I did not see any features
because of the brightness of the light.
But there was a glory that was pulled back
where I saw a little bit of the right side of his body,
his arm and his leg.
And there was something that was like water
that came out of his being into the throne
and collected under the throne and came out from the throne.
It came through the Heavenly Temple,
it came out of the Heavenly Temple,
and it went throughout heaven, the middle of the city,
and it was the river of life.
And I wanted to know, what am I seeing?
And a scripture came to me from the Book of Jeremiah
Chapter two.
And what it revealed was is that the father was the God
or the fountain of living waters.
And so it's the water of life.
And so it's a, it's a beautiful river of life,
in fact, it's the spirit of the father,the spirit of Jesus
is the Holy Spirit that comes out of Heaven into the Earth.
The Bible says, ask of the Lord rain
at the time of the latter rain.
And the Holy Spirit is referred to as rain.
It talks about an outpouring of the Spirit,
and it's just like rain.
And Jesus referred to it in John's gospel,
he said out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water.
What comes out of heaven, when you believe in Jesus
and you serve Jesus and you love Jesus,
it fills your spirit and it comes out in prayer
and intercession and praise and worship to the father.
And you're going to love the music of heaven,
because it just seems to just fill everything and everybody.
And I remember the flowers that seemed as if they're intelligent
and they're praising the father, they're praising Jesus.
And I saw musical notes that dance through the air
and go into the Father and the saints of God,
and the, the disciples of Jesus, all believers in Jesus.
And the sons and daughters of the Father
gather around the throne and, and they're on their knees.
And everybody has their hands lifted.
And they bowed down their heads to what we'll call ground
and worship of the father. And then this light,
light comes out of each son and daughter of the father,
collects over them like, the best way for me
to describe it is almost like a smoke and a cloud.
And then the father inhales
and he inhales the love and the devotion
and the, the allegiance and the loyalty and the faith
and the worship of each son and daughter
and the angels as well. And the father inhales
and enjoys the love of every son and daughter.
And then out of the father comes a burst of light
and life and love. And so there's a circle of love,
because heaven is all about love, peace, joy.
And so there is this position of righteousness
that you have in Jesus. Jesus is your righteousness.
But there is also, when you keep the commandments of God,
there is a relational righteousness
that comes through obedience.
James, the half brother of Jesus,
said in chapter one around verse 22,
it says, be doers of the word.
Okay, and the the word doers is the word poites,
it's a Greek word that means to find creative ways
to put the teachings of Jesus into practice,
and this is what pleases the father.
And so there is this relational righteousness
that gives you an intimacy with the Father and Jesus
like you can never, ever have without it.
And so I want to urge you to go beyond justification by faith.
Romans five and one, where Apostle Paul says,
therefore, being justified by faith,
you have peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ.
And so you stand before God because of the blood of Jesus,
just as if you've never sinned, justified by faith.
But I want to urge you to walk in the love of God
and to keep his commandments.
Jesus said those who do the commandments
and teach them shall be considered great.
And so the apostle John said by this we know
that we know him, when we keep his commandments.
And if I can remind you that in the book of Genesis,
the Scripture says, the Lord God commanded the man,
and in the book of Joshua,
chapter one, God speaks to Joshua, says,
Have I not commanded you?
And then in the Book of Revelation says,
Here are they that keep the commandments of God
and the faith of Jesus.
See, one evidence that you have the faith of Jesus
is you keep the commandments of God.
And then it says,
Here are they that keep the commandments of God
and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
And so this is relational righteousness,
because the Bible says the righteous Lord,
he loves righteousness.
And the Bible says that we're looking for a new heavens
and a new earth where lives righteousness.
And Jesus talked about in Matthew 24, 25,
in that part of the Bible, he talks about the righteous
will shine in the kingdom of the father.
And so I want to urge you to love God.
I want to urge you to love people.
Because in the book of Deuteronomy, it says
The two great commandments are to love God
and to love people.
And in Matthew Chapter 22, verses 37 through 40
Jesus said, The great commandment is to love
the Lord your God with all your heart
and soul and mind and strength,
and to love your neighbor as yourself.
And Jesus said in the Book of John,
in this way you will show that you love the father
in the very same way
I've loved you, love one another.
And so this is relational righteousness.
And so I want to share with you
that if you love the Father, Jesus,
the Holy Spirit, and you love people,
you're walking in relational righteousness
and you're becoming like Jesus.
Listen, you're practicing for Heaven, for Heaven.
Listen, have fun.
Rejoice in the Lord and rejoice always,
because Heaven is a place that is fun.
It's a place of pure joy. And so I want to tell you
right now what you need to practice here on Earth.
Enjoy the father, enjoy Jesus, and get ready for heaven.
The Father and Jesus made heaven for you,
and it is your inheritance,
and the Father is looking for you.
And he's going to really enjoy,
Jesus is going to really enjoy, when you and Jesus,
you and the Father, meet face to face in heaven and in glory.
Let me share one more thing with you that I saw in Heaven.
I saw at one point that Jesus was weeping, he was crying,
and this is what Jesus said, and this is what He said to me.
He said many people want what I have,
but he was crying and this is what he said,
but they don't want me.
Sometimes we're looking for the blessings of the father.
Sometimes we're looking for
and we're praying for the blessings of Jesus.
But the father wants to be loved.
The father wants to be honored.
The father wants to have your commitment,
your devotion, your dedication.
Jesus wants to have your consecration.
Jesus wants you to be righteous like
He is righteous and holy like he is holy.
And more than taking from Jesus, take of Jesus himself.
More than taking from the father,
take the father himself. Because when you take of Jesus
and the primary focus of your life
is the person of Jesus,
you bring gladness and joy to the heart of Jesus.
And when your focus of your life is loving
and pleasing the father,
you bring joy and gladness to the heart of the father.
This is what I want to say to you, that
Jesus be the theme of your life, and the theme of your ministry.
Let me share this with you, you can go to Tony Kemp
Ministries, you can go on to Tony Kemp
Ministries into the School of the Supernatural.
And what we want to do is we want to teach you
how to know the father and how to know
Jesus
and how to know the Holy Spirit more than ever before.
And not only that, but how to fulfill Ephesians
4:11, where it says
God gives apostles and prophets and evangelists and pastors
and teachers to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry,
to build up the body of Christ,
and to bring people to the height,
the fullness and maturity in Jesus.
Also to make disciples, and also to preach Jesus
so people can be saved from their sins,
delivered from the evil one, filled with the Holy Spirit,
healed of sicknesses and diseases.
We want to equip you so that you can go and preach the word,
just like Jesus' first disciples did,
and God will confirm His Word with signs following.
And you can please the father.
You can be a part of the great harvest,
bringing a harvest of souls to Jesus,
making a harvest of disciples that please
the Father who follow Jesus. May the Lord bless you.
The school of the Supernatural, it's for you to be equipped
to walk in the ways of Jesus, the wisdom of Jesus,
and do the works of Jesus Christ.
May the Lord bless you richly.
