How is it possible that you were ‘Saved’ in hell? Is this biblical?
This is a question I had asked LORD God [even though I had been saved from out of hell] many times before I fully understood how this was possible (as a born sceptic and cynic I really needed clarity on this). If you look at what the Bible says:
Ephesians 2:8-9 (AMPC)
8 For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; 9 Not because of works [not the fulfilment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.
John 3:3-8 (NKJV)
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
Romans 1:4 (NKJV)
4 and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.
Ephesians 1:13-14 (NKJV)
13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were
sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
My answer from the above verses in relation to my life story:
I had committed suicide and was DOA (Dead On Arrival) at our local hospital and drifted in and out of this physical flesh death state. I
[my spirit& soul – my eternal being] then found myself traveling and enter a pit of the eternally condemned fiery bowels of never-
ending evil, torture and utter hopelessness of hell. I was doomed except for the fact that I was very aware that I (my spirit& soul] was being protected by ‘a gentle loving invisible glove-like entity that was carrying me’ (I now know this to be the Holy Spirit). On seeing the fruits of my sin at every sin-level that I was taken too; I stood guilty and thus never stopped crying out in total shame and remorsefulness at each level. I was eventually faced with my absolute damned root sin; which was not accepting JESUS (that all my life I had only casually acknowledged Him – paid Him lip service; never-ever had I had my heart repented and in all my fullness, surrender to Him as my LORD and Savior) – I, in my spirit-soul being state, remorsefully cried out to JESUS with my all in realizing the absolute selfish un-repenting mess I had lived. I did this even though I knew full well that it was now too late, and that I was doomed and deservedly would remain in this endless tormenting pit of hell. I did not care. All I cared about was that I wanted to pay true acknowledging honor to JESUS because I had realized that He is the true Savior of all Life, even though I had lost my life and was soon going to be fully released in hell.
It was LORD God’s inexplainable Grace through the Holy Spirit, who had been holding me throughout the time I was in hell, that my deserved eternal doomed fate changed. The Holy Spirit, the resurrection power through whom we are born again, had quickened my spirit and ushered the brilliant magnificent Light of Life, Jesus Christ into my rescue. He literally came crashing down into hell and took me out. It was just as what Lord Jesus had told Nicodemus. Somehow, I was born again, not in the flesh but definitely in my spirit & amp; soul. The flesh eventually came a little later when God’s hand placed my spirit& soul, back into my body and gave me a second chance of real abundant life. I am still so humbled and totally dependent on this love and grace and abundant life that Lord Jesus, through His Spirit, gives me every single day. I breathe here on Earth because of Him.
Yes, it is by God’s Grace, but you had died without faith in Jesus. The Bible says it is through faith we are saved. So how could you be saved when you had died without faith in sin?
If you look at these verses:
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV)
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
John 14:13-14 (AMPC)
13 And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son. 14 [Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM].
James 5:16b (NKJV)
16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. (b) The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
My answer from the above verses in relation to my life story:
I had taken the fatal action of committing suicide in the name of ‘myself and the two voices within me’, this action clearly showed this was my belief, my unbelief of the Saviour, which in turn was my twisted faith. I and these two voices had deemed myself to be a failure because of failing at my first murder attempt and henceforth, I in full agreement, had to die as I owed my life to these two voices who had given me power throughout my life with them, hence making them lord over me [now I know they were demons].
As well as my family, those who knew about me arriving DOA at our local hospital were Roman Catholics who prayed through (in the name of) the angles, the saints. Also using the rosary, thus making the name of Mary above the name of Jesus, the Christ our Lord and Saviour of the world from the beginning of time.
According to the two facts above, of having no faith in Jesus and not using His Name, it was clear that I had disqualified and ruined all
chances for Christ Jesus redeeming salvation to come close to me. When I had asked our Holy Spirit how my saving Grace was possible because I was a clear failure.
He said to me: “Michele, our Word also declares that the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. It is through these persevering prayers prayed and decreed over you and for your salvation life in Jesus that caused Our Redeeming Grace to be the Authority call for you. You walked a lie of shame and guilt causing so much perishable fruit to be produced. However, there were always two voices who would enter our courts in Heaven pleading US for your cause and your salvation. They stood in stead in faith in the Name of Jesus, on your behalf.
I did not understand or know whom He was talking about. “I don’t understand my Holy Spirit?”
His answer startled me and has impacted a change in my life. He went on to explain that the evening of your stubbornness which consequences led to my motorbike accident, was the turning point of your life. It was from here that Pastor Pete, who smashed into me, and his wife, mom Susan; had never stopped praying for me all the years. Their righteous prayers and intercessory faith for me, truly did avail much as The Word says… this rescued me from hell and eternal damnation and brought me Salvation in its place.
