Why I, A Christian Died and Went to Hell - Jan Boshoff
I, Michael Chriswell, had never heard about Jan Boshoff and his testimony of dying as a believer in Jesus Christ and being sent to hell, until Aug of 2024, when a brother in Christ who had been following my teachings for some time, told me that God had used both myself and Jan to get him into a real relationship with Christ.
Jan passed away on Jan 19, 2021 and I have only seen about five videos of his at the time of this post. It only took one video for my spirit to instantly leap for joy at the hard truth of the Holy Spirit and Word of God which was coming out of His mouth, the same truths I have been preaching through my ministry for over a decade. Like many did with me, some people have misunderstood some of Jan’s messages which has allowed Satan to cast evil suspicions on him. I have absolutely no doubt Jan was a true servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. Please remember how much Satan hates testimonies like this which are meant to destroy the false faith of so many professing Christians who are headed to hell unknowingly. If and when you hear rumors suggesting Jan became a heretic, telling people that the Bible isn’t relevant, not the the inherent word of God, shouldn’t be trusted in, please STOP and ask, “Did he really say that…is that what he really meant, or could it be that he meant something different?”
For instance, it is crystal clear to me that Jan was trying to get religious people trapped in dead Christianity to see, just like A.W. Tozer taught, that the Bible is a means to an “end”, but NOT the end. The End is the Person and Spirit of Jesus Christ. Telling someone to stop trusting in the Bible is an important truth that needs to be heard by all the people in the world who have been religiously brainwashed into thinking the Bible is their god and salvation. The Bible cannot save anyone…only the Jesus Christ of the Bible.
Description under Jan’s YouTube video
On July 28th, 1998 I had a heart attack, I died and I found myself on my way to hell. The Lord Jesus had mercy on me and He let me come back. I was at that stage a saved man, I had accepted the Lord Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I was baptized in water, I was baptized in the Holy Spirit, I knew the voice of the Lord and He was speaking to me. But that morning I woke up with a terrible pain in my chest and I died. I found myself going down a deep black hole and I knew I was on my way to hell. I pleaded with the Lord Jesus to let me come back. He let me come back when I pleaded and asked and said:"Lord, let me go and tell the world, let me tell people, that this is real." Many people have asked me why it was that I was on my way to hell even though I was saved. Dear friends, the reason is that I was serving God, MY WAY. I was an above average Christian.. I was a serious Christian. I was a person who knew the voice of the Lord Jesus, but I was serving the Lord MY WAY. I was not fruitful. The only way that we can be fruitful is if we serve Jesus as disciples, HIS WAY, not my way, HIS WAY. Knowing the voice of the Lord is one thing but following Him, waiting on Him, serving Him as Master, that is another thing and that is what He requires of us. We cannot serve Jesus our way. He is not interested in that. We cannot bear fruit if we serve Him our way. I tried to reconcile being a Christian with being a business man, with living a "normal" life, like all the other Christians and I was under the impression that I was doing very well, but by God's standard I came short, it wasn't good enough, I was on my way to hell. It was the biggest fright I ever had in my life and since that day I have never been at ease again with Jesus because I fear Him, because I know that He has got ONE STANDARD, friends, and that is HIS WAY. We have got to seek Him, we have got to listen to His voice. What I think does not matter. My opinion, does not count. All that matters is Jesus. Is He pleased with me, is He satisfied with me? Am I obedient to Him? Am I doing what He wants me to do? Am I a disciple? Am I truly pleasing to Him? Dear friends we can only be fruitful and pleasing to Jesus if we serve Him as LORD, as MASTER, if we wait on Him and if we DO what He TELLS us to do. I got to know Jesus. I love Him, I fear Him, I respect Him. I will die again. I will leave this body, but then I want to be ready. I want to be going UP, not DOWN and that is why I am following Jesus. I am working for His Kingdom. God's standard is not our standard, my friends. Jesus wants TOTAL, TOTAL devotion. He is calling you. Make sure that when your time comes, that you don't find yourself going down the deep black hole. May Jesus bless you. www.finalcall07.com
