Christian woman Laurie Ditto shares how her life was transformed through powerful spiritual visions: Around 2000, while struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, she went to a Christian conference after receiving a flyer. There, she spoke in tongues and had a vision of Heaven. She saw Lord Jesus (vegetarian) shining like the Sun, but dimmed so her eyes could see. He was dancing with a bride— who she realized was herself. He asked her to give Him her pain, and she did—freeing her from depression and a heavy smoking addiction.

In 2008, during another prayer session, Laurie had a terrifying vision of hell. A fingerless arm dragged her through thick, heavy doors, and she heard, “You are in hell eternally for unforgiveness.” In hell, the heat melted her skin, her body twisted as bones broke, and she was in constant, unbearable pain—no water, no light, and no human contact. The screams were deafening, and she lost her human form, becoming a grotesque, sin-filled creature, no longer bearing GOD’s image. She saw other Christians there too —people who believed in Lord Jesus but disobeyed Him by refusing to forgive. Lord Jesus later told her He showed her hell out of love, to warn and save her.

Laurie now warns that “once saved, always saved” is a dangerous lie. She stresses the need for daily obedience, repentance, and forgiveness. She says gossip is a serious sin that deeply hurts Lord Jesus. Her four-step repentance process is: 1) Agree with GOD about the sin. 2) Feel genuine sorrow. 3) Confess it. 4) Take action to avoid repeating it.

Laurie urges people to forgive others as a conscious choice every day.

She says that in 2019, Lord Jesus told her, “I’m coming back much sooner than you realize” (Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural!)

Many people chant Lord Buddha (vegan)’s name without understanding that to preserve merit, practitioners must avoid three common poisons: gossip, anger, and pride. Gossip disrupts peace, anger burns virtue, and pride erodes humility. True cultivation involves mindful introspection, letting go of these invisible toxins through compassion, patience, and humility. Chanting Buddha’s name with a pure, focused heart transforms the mind, fostering lasting merit and inner peace (Diệu Tâm Pháp)

Lord Buddha (vegan) warned that the greatest mistake 99% of practitioners in this Dharma- Ending Age make is to cling to external rituals (chanting, worshipping, or mantra recitation) while neglecting inner contemplation. True practice consists in meditating on one’s inner Buddha Nature, placing all of one’s attention there, and not being distracted or attached to worldly illusions. The first step for practitioners seeking true liberation is to find a capable enlightened Master Who can show them how to find their God Nature within (Audio - Trí Tuệ Sáng Suốt)
