  • John Burke, the New York Times best-selling author of "Imagine Heaven" and founding pastor of Gateway Church in Austin, shares a powerful message based on his latest book "Imagine the God of Heaven". From his extensive research and interviews with hundreds of people - from all backgrounds and religions - about their near-death experiences, one thing has stood out: they've come back with a new experience of who God is, what it's like to truly feel his love, and how scripture can help explain the mystery and majesty of God's character that they discovered first hand. In this special teaching, John Burke seeks to answer an important question for all skeptics and believers: what is God really like?

    Thank you for reminding us who God the father,the Son and the Holy Spirit are! I read the word and think of the Old Testament and the laws. It’s so beautiful to see him as redeemer not just the Old Testament laws. There is no condemnation in Christ but freedom! The love of God, each NDE spoke of the love of God! Imagine the God of heaven, there are no words that can speak, truly describe. Everyone is looking for a real, trusting relationship. God wants that too. Thank you for reminding me of the love of the father!

    I bought the book, is may 2024 had a vision almost 7 years ago during this time of my as I called *spiritual awakening * I didn't think it was possible that GOD still saves and send all sorts of messages to the ones who are ready I've been redeemed and GOD is real through faith we see in that vision I saw all that the bible says and even more with conviction I'm GOD's child through JESUS name I saw the awesome color of GOD's energy pure love

    Amazing testimonies..Heidi NDE when she was 16 reminds me of Psalms 68..v3-5”But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful.Sing to God, sing praise to his name, extol him who *rides on the clouds*..His name is the LORD-- and rejoice before him.5A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling”..

    Funny to hear Chuck Missler’s 1970’s creation of the “Flat World”with Mr & Mrs Flat. It was truly an amazing new insight for the understanding of the Trinity. It is a fleshed out story, online, for those who want more help with understanding the immensess of the Trinity!!

    The BEST example of *THE HOLY TRINITY* that I've ever heard is:
    The exaple of WATER....Although It's *ALWAYS WATER,* but it can take on different forms: LIQUID, STEAM, & frozen into ICE!

    Was Santosh’s account of his interaction with Jesus more of a works based instruction from Jesus in order to go to heaven ?
    Santosh said Jesus told him to be honest and have close relationship with him and love his family 365 days a year. And a few other things. That was how to enter heaven when it was Santosh’s time to enter. 🤔🤔

    • @raydawgrules
      @raydawgrules Месяц назад

      Exactly my question. Also, Paul could not utter what he saw when whether in or out of the body and had a vision of heaven.
      IDK, he is spreading the gospel and appears to be genuine. I will stick to the word, but we are fortunate to have it. Many are less fortunate, and in time past prior to the printing press the canon was not yet put together so maybe these are valid.
      IDK, with so much corruption IDK who to believe anymore.

    • @Im_Bennythebooman
      @Im_Bennythebooman Месяц назад +2

      I listen to these experiences very cautiously. Some may be genuine. They cannot contradict the gospel or we know they are false.
      But about “appointed once to die” maybe our understanding of heart no longer beating and not breathing is not super exact for time of death; maybe there is something we don’t understand about death. When is the finality? 🤔

    • @oksills
      @oksills Месяц назад +1

      It is my understanding that some statements, such as the one you just mentioned, are are very true, but in an over arching way. In the broad sense it is precisely true. But think of Lazarus……. there are other contrary examples. We KNOW Lazarus was a true account, yet he died twice. I know we all know other Bible characters & groups of Bible characters that died twice , but in an over arching way , man dies once. I don’t claim to understand all of this, certainly not. But this concept helped me. All such near death experiences MUST be carefully cited suffered, prayed over for discernment. The speaker here, wisely said not to take any doctrine from these. They did all say, as did all the others I’ve heard, that there is some kind of line that they MUST NOT cross or cannot return to earth. Possibly that is the key. If you are Saved, ( if not get so now!) ask the Holy Spirit that is within you for insight. God bless you! Maranatha!

    • @raydawgrules

      @@oksills I did not think of those who were resurrected and died twice. We also have Luke 16 where obviously the physically dead engaged in conversation. Abraham said even if someone was raised from the dead, the rich man's brothers still would not believe. There were doubters back then with Jesus (Matthew 28), and still doubters today. It is a phenomena that I do not understand because they all appear to be genuine and documented. Too many to be false accounts. I guess like everything else, we must take it with a grain of salt. Ultimately, they are spreading the good news of the gospel, and that is a good thing.

      My Daddy experienced an NDE during a 9 minute cardiac arrest. His story was the same as some in this video/book. Daddy came back knowing/sharing verifiable information that we did not previously know. Daddy declared, "We can't even imagine how wonderful Heaven is!"

  • @nicolapicola4502
    @nicolapicola4502 11 дней назад

    The NDE stories that ring truest to me are the ones in which sorrow for sin and repentance or requests for forgiveness are made. I'm far more skeptical about NDEs which only talk about light and love with no mention of Jesus Christ. He didn't go through the crucifixion for it to be ignored in heaven, so I'm far more convinced by the NDEs that point to a resurrected Christ with sincere acknowledgement of human sin.

    Did you know Jesus is the name of a roman sun god who teaches disobedience to God's 10 commandments, break Sabbath, doing 🎃🐰🎅🎄 Babylonian witchcraft,& pork eating. Use Yeshua instead of Jesus.
