Maman Domitilla's Testimony

My name is Domitilla and I am among the ones who received the grace of God in my life. I don't know if there is something else I can tell you about me but what I know is that I was blind in the darkness of this world but now I see.

My life before I met Jesus

I was born in Congo in a "Christian family" and I liked and respected my religion. I was a fervent and active Christian and my marriage was celebrated in my church in 1967. I liked to hear about some other small religions but I was sure that mine was the true one coming from God. One day, at home, I felt tired after, after some household tasks. It was in the afternoon. I still had a lot to do in the house but I decided that I needed some rest; I sat in a chair inside the house and I fell asleep. A moment after I started having a dream. In my dream I heard someone knocking on my door and he was calling me "Maman Domitilla, Maman Domitilla?" I ran to open for him but when I was about to open the door he told me: " wait a moment and listen to me before you open the door. Have you cleaned your house so I may find a place to sit?" I looked around and found the place very dirty. The house was full of terrible dusts. I then said to him: "no the house is not clean". He replied to me, talking behind the door, "yes you are telling the truth, you house is dirty and I can not sit in a dirty place". And he added : " I am going back because you are not ready to receive me but in the meantime read the Bible in 1Peter 4:7." After these words I suddenly woke up. Before I regained full conscience, I was asking myself if that person was real. I ran to the door and open but there was no one there; I even went far to the yard I found no one; I came back to the house astonished by the dream. Then I remembered the word that person told me to read in the Bible. At that time I did not know how to read, by curiosity I went to see a young man in our neighbourhood. We all considered him as fool because he was always with his bible in hands and preaching everywhere. I asked him: "can you read for me 1 Peter 4:7?". And he read the scripture for me : "the end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. But above all, love each other deeply…". The scripture did not explain to me anything about the dream and I started to tell the young man my dream. He said : "the dirty house you saw is not the physical house you are living in, it is your heart filled of sins. Repent so God can visit you." I laughed at him and replied "you don't know what you are saying, repent yourself and leave me alone"…

The conversion

When I arrived home I looked for the dust but I didn't see anything. But I said to myself that I needed to clean again so if there was even something that escaped my attention before I can clean it. While cleaning I felt a big emotion in my heart as if I was going to cry. I took my rosary and started praying but with no help. Realising that the rosary was not helping me I began praying with my own words. I said many things I never said before and I talked words I didn't understand. That is where I was baptised in the power of the Holy Spirit. I heard a voice in my heart telling me: repent from your sins and you will have peace in your heart". I humiliated myself and went to that young man and he prayed for me; I received Jesus and his peace filled my heart. Since that time I started praying a lot, in the morning, afternoon and in the evening. I was very happy with that life. I began fellowship in Pentecost churches, they helped me, in few months I was spiritually strengthened. After a certain period they asked me to be baptised and I refused saying: "I am already baptised, I can not do it for the second time" We discussed with for a long time when they saw that I was firm in my position they asked me to leave their church. When my husband saw what was happening to me he became very concerned. He took me to fathers to examine my problem. When they heard my story they said that I was possessed by an evil spirits; they had to pour the holy water on me so I can be delivered. I laughed at them because I knew that every thing that was happening to me was the power of the Holy Spirit. Arrived at home my husband told me : " we can not live together anymore, your are stubborn, you don't listen to me and you don't respect fathers. Pack your baggage and leave". I accepted but when I was about to quit the house I remembered that I had to ask God first what He thought about all this. God told me : "do not go anywhere, stay here". And I stayed.
After then I came to hear about another group of people who had also been kicked out of my first religion because they were filled by the Holy Spirit. I rejoined them and we started praying together. The government pursued us saying we are part of uncontrollable small religions and they chased us. We realised that we can not carry on with that life we decided to have some times in prayer, in a quiet place, like in a forest; we decided to leave not until God told us what to do: whether to keep this life or to abandon and go back to our first religion. We were 12 persons when we entered the bush for fasting and prayers.

Death and resurrection

On the third day of our prayer things changed. While we were on our knees praying I saw two men, with glorious bodies, coming to us. When they reached us, they came to me, took my arm to make me stand and go with them but I could not rise up, I was very heavy. I tried with all my forces to stand but I could not. These two men told me: " wait a moment". They took of me something looking like a heavy coat I was wearing. After I felt very light, stood up quickly and followed them. At that moment I did not realise that it was my body I had just left, in other words that I was dead.
I followed then these two men; we arrived at a place where I was seeing a beautiful city, a big and a beautiful city, I could not see and understand all in it at once. When I was still there watching, astonished by the beauty of the city, behind me came a chariot inside which there were three persons. I asked the two men who were with me : " do you also have chariot here, as on the earth"? They responded : "those chariots are not like yours on earth; their role is to go on earth to bring Christians when God call them to come in this city called paradise". I then said to them : "I, also am a Christian, why didn't I come in that chariot"? They responded that it was different for me because I will go back. I contemplated again the beauty of the city….My brother/sister, what the Bible says is true. I have no appropriate words to describe the paradise. When I was still standing there, amazed, I saw a man in front of me, a very big man and incredibly tall, with a very glorious body. He approached me and started crying. He asked me : " Are you really able to pray in such a way? Since you can why don't you do it often?". I immediately understood that he was referring at our fasting prayers. I responded to him: "yes Lord we can. But I see that you are far from where we live, do you really hear us when we pray?" He said : "Yes, there is no prayer made on earth that God doesn't hear". When he saw that I was doubting he put his finger in my ears and they were opened. I heard someone praying; it was as if he was talking near me and he was crying. He said only one thing : "O God, you promised us that you will not let us tempted beyond what we can bear…"After hearing that person praying I asked him : "since you can hear when we pray why haven't you answered our prayers"? He asked me: "are you a Christian ?" I said "yes". He asked me again : "if you are a Christian why haven't you been baptised yet?". I told him : "I was baptised long time ago!". "How?" he said; I replied that "for us we take water and pour it on the head of someone but we do it in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit". He then told me : " you say that you are a Christian, how was Jesus baptised?" I lacked what to reply and he added : " Jesus was baptised in the Jordan river in deep water. This is the only and true baptism accepted by God, others are inventions of men. How can you say that you are Christian when you don't follow Jesus example?"
After that he entered me inside the paradise. I have no words to describe what I saw. I just want to encourage Christians that God has great things in store for them. I saw those who died in Christ singing in great joy and glory. I tried to see if I could recognize some faces, I was very surprised to see that they all had the same face, the same skin colour and the same clothes. There were no tall or short, no white or black no men no women. They were all speaking one tongue.
That man told me : when someone dies in Christ, he receives this new body. But for the joy, they haven't yet entered the true joy; this is like a rest. They are still waiting for the day they will be moved from here; they also haven't seen Jesus yet…."
After, he took me from there to a very beautiful sea of glass clear as a crystal. On the other side of the sea I saw another city far bypassing the paradise in beauty and glory. The ground was covered by gold and other precious stones. I tried to walk on the ground but didn't, it was as if something was pushing me away from the ground. They told me that I can not know how to walk on it, none so far has been allowed to enter into the city. That man told me : "this is the new Jerusalem you hear". I was not allowed to stay long at that place.
Those who were guiding me took me to a big and blooded ocean, full of people and other small beasts. People in the ocean were scratching themselves as if they were bitten by mosquitoes. They were crying to God saying : "Almighty God, allow us at least to be thrown in that 'fire' so we can be burned out and be consumed for ever and have not to suffer this way anymore. My guides told me : "these people think that if they are thrown in the fire of the hell they will burn , they do not know that it is an eternal fire, which will burn eternally." I was allowed to look inside the Gahanna; I saw a very big and deep pit with 7 barrels containing the wrath of God which hadn't been poured yet on earth
After, they showed me the place where everyone who dies must pass: it is in front of some kind of cupboard full of papers and folders. I was told that those papers were personal files for people who ever lived on earth. When you die, whoever you are, you must pass by that place, they give you your folder and you judge yourself: whether to go in the gehanna or in the paradise. There is also something that looks like a television screen that shows every action you did in your life, with nothing left out. I was frightened by all this that I started to implore to be taken back to the earth so I can repent. I'd like to remind Christians that this place in not shameful for unbelievers only but it surprises even Christians. Be careful, for you may not have the same chance I was granted to come back on earth and repent. When I left that place I was taken to a place where lived the servants of God died in Christ. They were living in equipped houses whereas believers who did not serve the Lord on earth lived in beautiful but empty houses. In one of these houses I saw a man sited on the ground when I asked why he told me that while he was still on earth he loved God, never missed any fellowship meeting but he never served God nor surrendered all his wealth to the Lord and he despised the poor. He said because he never gave his tithes and offerings, now he is condemned to live in this empty house for ever.
After all this they showed me the earth covered by great darkness and very frightening. In that darkness I saw things looking like pigs crossing each other, some of them walking on top of others; it is a complete disorder. They asked me what I was seeing and I replied : "I see the earth filled with pigs". They said to me : "these are not pigs but people like you but who are not Christians, the sinners. The way you see them is the way God see them when they are walking in their sins and abominations". They also said that no matter how sinners may physically look, before God they look like pigs. In that darkness I could see few lamps, dispersed and I was told that they are Christians before God.

This is among the last things I saw in heaven before I was taken back to earth. I found myself sleeping in my bedroom. There were some things moving on my body, itching me; when I looked at them it was pupas
I was very afraid and cried out for help, after a moment some one came and he was very surprised when he saw me alive. He told me what happened, how I died in the forest and how they brought my body back home for the burial. He told me that when they were preparing for the funeral God stopped them and told them that he was the one who took me and that he will bring me back. He also said that it was now the fourth day since I "died". My body has started smelling and decomposing and pupas were all over my body and inside…

This testimony is true and there are still some eyewitnesses of this event. Many doctors have also examined her body and confirmed that some of her scars come from the decomposition of her body. Maman Domitilla is still alive and she is now living in Canada. She serves God all over the world by her testimony which brings thousands to Christ.

Other elements about her life

She received in heaven many revelations on subjects such as marriage, abortion, denominations, baptism and so on.

In Heaven, She was commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ to travel around the world preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, giving a detailed account and the testimony of everything that she saw, immediately after her return to earthly life.

It is noteworthy that it is in Heaven where she learned to read, having been born in the jungle and never received any formal training in reading and writing prior to her death and resurrection.

During her ministry, there are incidents where she ministered alongside an Angel of the Lord to unreached people groups of the jungle in tongues she did not speak.

In one memorable encounter, an angel got her belly split open during a time when she had lost the zeal for the gospel out of other people criticism. The neighbors came to carry her at the local hospital which was maybe a day away of walk. During this desperate trip, the angel visited her again and agreed to heal her back after she had promised to return to the mission field. She has marks of this divine surgery on her body.

During her more than 35 years of faithful ministry, she gave her testimony to countless people in Africa, Europe and America, both the rich and the poor, the weak as well as the powerful. So far, she has been received by four (4) Heads of States.

Given her humble origin (she was born and grew up in the jungle, never learned to write or read), in her was fulfilled the words of the Apostle Paul: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."

These words of King David were literally fulfilled in her life: "He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes, with the princes of their people. He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children." Psa 113:7-9

Mama Domitilla is married, has one daughter and one grandchild!
