On August 3, 1979, Howard Pittman, a Baptist minister, suffered physical death as the result of a massive internal hemorrhage. His spirit was lifted from his body by guardian angels who led him through the Second Heaven, where he was shown the secrets of Satan's dominion. He appeared before our Lord in the Third Heaven where he pleaded for an extension of his physical life. There God showed him what kind of life of worship and service he had really led, and Howard Pittman was graciously transformed from a Laodicean-type Christian to a Philadelphian-type Christian. (See Revelation chapter 3) He was miraculously healed and sent back to this world with a five-point message from Heaven – The Greatest News Since Pentecost!
"Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month." Joel 2:23
