Captain Dale Black was a pilot who died in a plane crash.
The plane broke apart ... Only Dale survived, somehow...
“Suddenly I was thrown into the air and hovered over my shattered body...
Two angel escorts accompanied me, dressed in seamless white robes woven from silver threads.''
After God sent him back to his body and his earthly life, he told what had happened to him. He tried to describe what he had experienced and seen in heaven.
Each house was custom-made and unique and yet all together looked very harmonious. Some had three or four floors, others were even higher. "No two houses were alike.

Just before his death on the cross, Jesus wanted to encourage his disciples.
In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2
The House of the Heavenly Father is the City of God in heaven. If you trust Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you have a new and eternal citizenship. Your home is God's heaven. God has prepared a house for you, your own house.
Have you ever been to a church service and it started to get boring.
Then you start to wonder whether heaven will be just one endless church service. A depressing thought.
But if heaven is just one long church service, why will we need houses?
In God's heaven everything is indescribably beautiful, the trees, the flowers, the music and also the houses.
In Heaven we will worship God with lovely songs.
The apostle Paul was stoned to death. Then he stood up and walked away, not only alive but miraculously healed.
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a one was caught up to the third heaven. 2 Cor 12:2 (NKJV)
From the context of the passage we understand that Paul was most likely telling about his own experience.
… he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 2 Cor 12:4
A well-known preacher in our time also had the privilege of looking into God's heaven.
Was it in a vision, a dream or did he leave his body like the pilot after the plane crash? I don't know. God has different ways to bless his children.
Many people who have somehow visited heaven tell about the overwhelmingly beautiful music.
This preacher told how a large crowd sang worship songs in heaven. The songs were in perfect harmony, but as he listened he found that everyone was singing their favourite music.
You could distinguish all kinds of musical styles and traditions, but the harmony was perfect.
Once I was in a wonderfully blessed meeting in Germany. The presence of God was amazing. Some people saw a heavenly white cloud in the room. I could feel it but not see it. Later, this heavenly cloud was clearly visible in digital photos.
Two men started to play the guitar in the style of 1960's rock music and we sang together and felt God's blessing.
I started singing, but my song was in classical style, someone said like a Jewish cantor, but my song fitted perfectly with the harmony and rhythm of the rock song.
When you experience oppressive conformism in church, it's not from God.
Paul explained how God distributes different gifts to his children.
If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body?
And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body? 1 Cor 12:15-16 (NKJV)
