- 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?
I’m so thankful for Jesus , some days my love for him is the only thing I have to keep me going in this life, my life has been so difficult
I’m so sorry to hear that. Just know that no matter what happens, He is right there with you, through it all. I will be praying for you brother.
I'm SO sorry. Mine too has been very very difficult so I prayed for you.
@@pegihaider813 thank you
@@clintdavis4886Thx for your acknowledgement. Your welcome. God bless you.
Thank you, Jesus!💜
Jesus is with us always. He wants to help us always. My foot was hurting (nerve pain) and I had to work a 12 hour shift. I ask Jesus for relief for the night, as I was getting out of my truck (work security). Realized, as I’m getting in my truck from working the 12 hour shift, my foot wasn’t hurting and I hadn’t thought about it once during the entire shift. God is good. God is love. ❤😊
All the time.
I look forward to the day that I see my Heavenly Father ❤
Bless you for sharing!!❤❤
Always very comforting to hear these testimonies compiled by John Burke that the Kingdom of Heaven is our final resting place.
Jesus commands us to Deny ourselves, to pick up our cross daily and follow him
This book as well as his other book are fantastic
John, you're an excellent orator/presenter. Very well done, sir.
This was excellent and so worth watching!!! To God be the glory!!! Thank you so much John Burke!!! Glorious Father, I pray that many will believe in You and Jesus through John's work and I ask this in Jesus Precious and Matchless Name, Amen!!! 🙏✝️🙏
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
John 14:6. I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the Father accept through Jesus Christ.
29:23 His testimony is powerful beyond words. His description of our father’s qualities brings me joy and knowledge. Amazing!
Truly awesome impressive presentation! Thank you for sharing and thank you John Burke!
These nde videos have completely changed my outlook on life in a great way
That was powerful 👏🏾👏🏾Thank You Jesus ❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve experienced this myself, NDE. I love to hear others’ experiences with this.
Blessings to your souls from New Zealand. The Father is wonderful!
I can’t wait to meet Jesus.❤❤❤
What a great blessing this 41:43 has been to me. These minutes have been so well spent. Thank you John for all the good work you do and for showing us all the heart and the true essence of God.
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”..
JESUS LOVES YOU ❤😊 ALL
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!
Thanks for another video, brother… I watch you every day😊
Amen 🙏🏽 Thank You Jesus
Father, son, wife. One.
I saw your interview with SHAWN RYAN on his PODCAST! It brought tears to my eyes several times! ❤🕊❤
AMAZING CONVERSATION!!!
Thank you, I needed to hear this today.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
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!!
I also enjoyed that mr and mrs flat
I am obsessed with JESUS. We hang out every morning when I read the Bible and we chat all day. He even helps me pick out what to wear. Call me crazy but my best friend is a king,
I'm sure Jesus REALLY cares what people wear; surface image is what counts.
I'm re-reading this book, it's 1 of the better Christian NDE books as unlike some, too many, it isn't nasty blokey bigoted US fundamentalist right-wing clap-trap. His warmth shines out, & for once human religion doesn't give God a bad name 👍
Joe Jackson’s song “ Stepping out” is the perfect near death experience song! It captures the mystery
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!
Romans 8:18, Our affections are not even worthy to be compared to the glory that will be revealed in Us,
Heaven doesn’t come in such away to be seen, no one will say there it is or here it is, I tell you the truth the kingdom of God is within you, Luke 17:10
There’s a place for all of Us,
❤❤
have any talked of their beloved pets in heaven?
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.
I may see things, like the trinity, a bit differently than you, but I do believe that God loves all of His Children, and He longs to bring us home.
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. 🤔🤔
I wonder, he was sceptic engineer, who started studing NDE's and now seems to become a preacher...
you will find out too.
Its appointed men once to day and then the judgement how do we reconcile this ?
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.
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? 🤔
@@raydawgrules lots of us feel that way we can discern TV prophets one from another it's not easy to test someone's faith I be more of a legalistic as I grew up in a Christian home full of pain and hypocrisy and abuse so I try and stick to what the bible says perhaps if I was to have a nde I'd be different but.not.al are.the same some speak of reincarnation some everyone gets heaven some go to hell but I does give people hope who knows
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!
@@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.
Humor: I knew God had humor. Look at the platypus.
I'm highly skeptical. Maybe some of the NDE's are true maybe some are not. Have to wonder why one would make NDE's a ministry, it isn't scriptural. Is it selling books, you betcha! I think we all know a little with our little minds what it will be like when we meet Jesus. I'm skeptical when it's not all about Jesus Christ first & foremost, can't get to the FATHER without Jesus first.
More simple, we made in the image of God, male & female He made them: FATHER, SON AND THE HOLYSPIRIT THE MOTHER!!!!❤
